Chapter 338: Unidentified Expedition Ship!
~~~~~~~~~
This iceberg is quite huge, the height must be at least 100 meters, and the width is 70 or 80 meters, and this is only the part above the sea, as for the bottom, God knows how big it will be. ∈ ♀ top novel,
Although the sea surface is thick with ice, it seems to be calm, but under the ice, the sea water is far from being as calm as it seems, and the iceberg is subject to the external force of the sea water, and is swaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, towards the side of the expedition ship.
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but scold.
Finally, Gong Xue, the little girl, showed a hint of a little daughter's posture, and was ready to enjoy the fruits of victory, so I thought that this big guy would come to interrupt?
At this time, in the control cabin, Jer~Mason also panicked, although this guy also drank a lot of wine, but at the moment of life and death, where did he dare to slack off, and couldn't help shouting to the helmsman: "Quick, turn the rudder quickly." ”
The helmsman was a tall traditional Germanic man, and although the rudder of the expedition ship was assisted, at this time, he also panicked, twisted a few hard, and wanted to turn the direction of the bow, when suddenly, there was a click, as if it was an ice breaker in front, which was stuck by something, and the bow could no longer move.
"You dog ~ mother ~ raised." Jer~Mason couldn't help but be shocked, kicked the big man aside, and twisted the rudder himself, hoping to turn the direction of the bow by brute force.
Unfortunately, he tried desperately several times, but to no avail.
He slammed the rudder a few times, but still didn't react.
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but be furious, this stupid ~ force, even if you smash it now, is it useful? Hurriedly shouted: "What the hell are you doing stupidly? Come up and help. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Quanbei hurriedly rushed over and twisted the rudder vigorously.
A few people in the control cabin reacted and hurriedly came up to help, and more than a dozen people worked hard together, only to hear a few 'clicks', the icebreaker at the bow seemed to be running again, and the bow rushed to the side.
Less than 5 minutes later, the huge iceberg, 'click', hit this side, shattered into several pieces, and fell into the sea in front of several people.
"Thank God forbid. Thank God forbid. "Jer~Mason desperately crossed his chest.
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but be angry and funny, whether it was Huaxia or German's son, he was a virtuous person.
If it is useful to pray to God and worship Buddha, why do you need so much advanced equipment?
Gong Xue also had palpitations, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhou Quanbei's big hand and asked, "Xiaobei, are you okay?" ”
Zhou Quanbei shook his head with a smile, he used too much force just now, and his hands hurt a little, but as soon as he touched Gong Xue's little hand, everything was instantly full of blood.
"Jer, you must keep an eye on it here. If not, add a few more people. We've gone deep into the ocean, and we're not at all sloppy in this regard. Zhou Quanbei grabbed the placket of Jer~Mason and shouted.
Although Jer~Mason has always controlled the Mason family's business in the Weir Company, in fact, he has no experience in personal exploration at all, and in this regard, he naturally has to travel a few streets north of Zhouquan.
Hearing Zhou Quanbei say this at this time, he reacted, and hurriedly recruited more than a dozen people, carefully staring at every move here.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Zhou Quanbei smiled and threw him a cigarette, "Jer, my friend, relax." Things are not as serious as you think, and when you find the treasure, life will be better. ”
Jer~Mason pouted childishly, "Zhou~, I think, this time I'm really a little reckless." ”
However, at this point, regret is no longer useful.
Zhou Quanbei simply asked him to recruit a few experts and surveyors, and inquired in detail about the location of the treasure and the route forward.
The sea area where the Japanese found the treasure ship is located more than a thousand kilometers northwest of the Bering Strait, but there is only an approximate location, and there are no precise coordinates.
According to the analysis of the information obtained by the expert group, even if the information of the United States and the Japanese is more accurate than that of Zhouquanbei, it is not much accurate, at most, they set off from Japan or Alaska, which is shorter than the itinerary of Zhouquanbei.
But this kind of thing is not something that anyone who is close to can get it.
If you don't go to the sea area where the incident occurred, not to mention that the board of directors can't explain, Zhou Quanbei won't agree.
How can you give up halfway as a person and do things?
Under Zhou Quanbei's 'education', Jer~Mason had to cheer up his spirits, regain his courage, and dare not neglect the affairs of the ship.
Zhou Quanbei was a little relieved.
~~~~
A few more days passed, and at this time, the expedition ship had approached the target sea area, and the relationship between Zhou Quanbei and Gong Xue had become more and more intimate.
Jer~Mason's condition has also improved a lot, he no longer drinks and is full of fighting spirit.
At this time, the surveyor sent information, "Boss, in the sea ahead, we found a boat. ”
Several people couldn't help but lift their spirits and hurriedly looked ahead.
After walking more than a hundred meters, sure enough, under the snowstorm, an expedition ship that was not too big was stranded on the ice.
"Zhou~, could this be an expedition ship for the Japanese?" Jer~Mason couldn't help but be clever and instantly excited.
Zhou Quanbei's brows furrowed slightly, it stands to reason that the little devil's boat should not have a national flag on board.
"Don't be conclusive yet, come closer, and send someone up to have a look."
Jer~Mason nodded hurriedly.
Soon, the expedition ship on Zhou Quanbei's side had approached the target in front.
However, Zhou Quanbei did not let the ship get too close, the expedition ship was stuck on the ice, and no one could say whether there were any invisible icebergs underneath.
Jer~Mason hurriedly organized an expedition team of more than a dozen people to inspect the situation on the ship in front, while Zhou Quanbei and his party waited in the cabin to observe.
At this time, under this kind of condition, of course Zhou Quanbei will not personally take risks, otherwise, once there is any moth, under such conditions, even if it is a Daluo Immortal, it will be difficult to survive.
However, everyone waited for more than two hours, but the dozen or so expedition members in front of them did not respond, and the walkie-talkie could not be connected, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
The atmosphere instantly became a little tense.
Although Jer~Mason was calm on the surface, in his heart, he had already panicked, and hurriedly said to Zhou Quanbei: "Zhou~, what should we do now?" ”
Zhou Quanbei couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, his brows furrowed, but he didn't speak.
Jer~Mason was a little trembling, and whispered: "Zhou~, is it possible, then, that's a ghost ship?" ”
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but scold in his heart, you are still a descendant of the Germanic people, why do you have the courage to make this dead man's windfall?
"Jer, don't worry. Things may not be as bad as you think. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Quanbei directly pointed out a few people under the command of old Eisenberg, as well as a few younger brothers of Richardson and David ~ Weir, "You guys, go over and have a look." Remember, don't go inside, just look at the situation from the outside. If there is a situation, return it immediately. ”
Although several people were a little reluctant, they didn't dare to disobey Zhou Quanbei's order, so they hurriedly packed up and cautiously approached the boat in front.
This time, everyone in the cabin was staring at them closely, for fear of an accident.
But in fact, nothing terrible happened, and the few of them were connected with ropes, and after a brief inspection of the inside, they quickly retreated.
A middle-aged man at the head of the Eisenberg family said, "Boss, we didn't find anything inside. Those people just now seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. However, this ship seems to be a Japanese ship. Stranded here hasn't been around for long. ”
Jer~Mason hurriedly said: "Are you sure that there are no Japanese corpses in it?" And the members of our expedition just now? ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly shook his head, "Mr. Jer, I can be sure." ”
The rest of the team members also nodded in affirmation.
Everyone's faces looked a little bad, and an expert said: "Boss, Mr. Zhou, could this be, could it be the Japanese expedition ship that sent the information before?" ”
Gong Xue nodded, "Very likely." But where have all the people on board, and the people before them, gone? ”
Jer~Mason was also a little panicked, and looked at Zhou Quanbei like a helper.
Zhou Quanbei didn't have too many expressions on his face, the impermanence of the world is a demon.
Although Jer~Mason regards himself as the backbone, the more times like this, the more he can't easily express his position.
Strategist~~, it's not so easy to be.
"The situation is unknown, and it's useless to guess now. My opinion, let's stay here for the time being and see the situation. ”
Jer~Mason also understood what Zhou Quanbei meant, and nodded hurriedly, "Zhou~, just do as you say." ”
Soon, the boat stopped on the nearby ice, however, the atmosphere on board was a little tense due to the influence of the ship in front of it.
Zhou Quanbei did not send another expedition team, but asked the staff to step up the inspection and maintenance of the expedition ship.
The first expedition members were sent out around 11 p.m., but until 12 p.m., 13 hours later, there was still no response.
When they set out, they did not bring any food with them, and it is likely that they were already unlucky.
Although the sky has remained in a state of daylight, the snowflakes sprinkled one after another, coupled with the bitter cold wind, make the atmosphere on the ship have an indescribable oppression.
By noon the next day, there was still no response from the first expeditions, and to the point that their death sentences could be pronounced almost as they were.
Jermaison was completely panicked, "Zhou, what should we do?" What should we do? ”
Zhou Quanbei's brows also furrowed tightly, according to this form of development, people are panicked, afraid that no one will dare to go to that ship again to find out.
It's not a way to drag it out like this, Zhou Quanbei glanced at Jer~Mason, "Jer, in this situation, I'm afraid, we have to go over and investigate in person." ”
Jer~Mason couldn't help but be taken aback by Zhou Quanbei, "Zhou, you, you're not joking, are you?" ”
Zhou Quanbei smiled faintly and lit a cigarette, "Jer, we have an old saying in Huaxia, I don't know if you have heard of it, it is called, wealth and danger are sought." If you want to make a windfall, but you don't want to contribute, how can there be such a good thing? Rest assured, right? In addition to the necessary staff on the ship, our ship can also vacate 7 or 80 people, and our firepower is not bad, with so many people, there will be no accidents. ”
Jer~Mason hesitated for a long time, and didn't want to give up the opportunity to make a windfall, so he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Zhou~, I listen to you." It's up to you. ”
Zhou Quanbei smiled, waved his hand and beckoned Zhang Dajun and Wang Dagou, asking them to choose people and equip them with firepower.
Soon, a large-scale expedition of 82 people has been constructed, and Zhou Quanbei and Jer~Mason, who are the bosses, have all gone out in person, and these people have no reason to escape, so they have to bite the bullet.
Everyone had a hearty lunch, had enough heat, and each prepared a lot of wire ropes, which were attached to the bow of their big ship, and began to walk in the direction of the 'ghost ship' in front of them.
