0103 Thunderstorm

Storms raged in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, with huge waves and black clouds overwhelming.

The combined force of the wind and the showers stirred up the sea, like a boiling fish tank, and there was no peace in every corner.

Storm captures the Golden Deer.

The huge hull of the fifth-class ship had no room for resistance under the power of heaven and earth, and could only passively endure it, allowing the waves to push and shove, throw, smash, lift high, and collapse.

Vital!

The sails on the ship were put away at the first time, and all the debris on the deck was removed. If you can collect it, if you can't collect it, you will immediately untie and fix it, and push it down to the sea before the wind and waves rise, just like an assault boat hanging on both sides.

They had disappeared from the sea by this point.

Lorraine had caught a glimpse of a piece of wood wreckage crashing into the side side, but wondered if it belonged to the assault boat or some other debris abandoned from the ship.

Sailors and seafarers mostly went into the inner cabin.

The hatch was closed, the portholes locked, and only the most elite first group and the most loyal fourth group remained on deck, with Yacharin at the helm, Karen foreman, and Lorraine in the center.

The bumpy ship suddenly ushered in a moment of tranquility......

The Golden Deer seemed to be sent by the wind into a deep valley bottom, and the waves around it became higher and higher, and the sea below the ship sank deeper and deeper.

Lorraine's eyes widened.

"Great waves on the port side!"

He roared, and on the port side, a wave of waves soared into the sky, twenty or thirty meters high, connecting the sky and the sea, smashing like a mountain and a sea.

The hull of the Golden Deer tilted and was sucked into the bottom of the waves, and the huge waves slapped down, like a big hand, and pressed the whole big ship down to the sea with a snap!

The sea fills the surroundings!

Lorraine's ears suddenly became quiet.

The dark sea water has no waves, echoing with a long and clear sound, which makes people feel peaceful.

He looked up and looked through his double eyelid at the overturned sea, where it was as if another world was being created or destroyed.

But his heart still hangs.

After sinking for a moment, the big ship suddenly rushed upward, like a rising rocket, tearing open the heavens and the earth with a bang, and jumping again into the sea.

The sudden ascent crushed Lorraine to the deck, and the subsequent fall tossed him up, high.

The crew on deck danced with their hands, and if it weren't for the cable on their waists, they felt like they could break through the clouds and fly all the way to space.

This is obviously impossible.

Extremely high and falling!

Lorraine slammed down on the deck, and before he could catch his breath, another surge came from starboard, tilting the entire side of the Golden Deer, almost vertically.

"Ahh

An unlucky sailor screamed and fell from Lorraine's side, and Lorraine grabbed it with his quick eyes, gritted his teeth against the deck, and tugged on the straight cable with the other.

A long persistence, a long wait.

With a bang, the Golden Deer finally returned to its position, and the smashed waves smashed the next wave of the sea's offensive, giving the ship's crew a moment of respite.

"Tighten the sail line! Steady the steering wheel! Luo Linfei also seemed to get up, picked up an unmanned cable in the wind and rain, and threw it to the sailor who was rescued by luck, "Check the cable you tied to your body!" Double-check! Repeatedly! ”

"Lightning strike!"

I don't know who shouted, Lorraine was startled, wiped the raindrops off his face, and stared at the sky with wide eyes.

Layers of dark clouds flowed with purple light, converging in one place in front of his eyes, shining brightly in the center of the clouds.

"Neurotic, I don't remember today's catastrophe......"

Thick lightning slashed down, tearing through the heavens and the earth, and struck straight at the tip of the foremast, the iron firing chamber that Lorraine had custom-built for Pierce.

Bang!

The earth-shattering thunder followed, with a boom, causing Lorraine to be hit hard, and shining golden flowers appeared in his eyes.

The foremast burned.

Blazing flames burned in torrential rain, thick plumes of smoke linked to dark clouds.

"Clen!" Lorraine resisted the urge to vomit and shouted, "Take someone to the main mast!" Cut the sail line, cut the foremast, quick! ”

"Yes!" The sturdy boatman answered the order in a hurry, and with four or five experienced sailors untied the cables, and galloped to the mainmast.

Another wave struck, pushing the ship so violently that one of the sailors fell in the middle of the run, screaming and sliding to the sideboard.

Boom!

Lorraine flipped over and threw out her long knife, slamming it into the deck with a whirl.

The sailor didn't care about the sharpness of the blade, and grabbed it with his open hand, and the red blood flowed down the blade, but he finally stabilized his body and did not fall into the raging water.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Captain! ”

"Get up and keep running!" Lorraine cursed, "Damn, don't use the iron sheet next time, never again!" ”

Panic, screaming.

In the midst of the chaos, the sail lines of the ship were cut one by one, and the sailors braved the wind and rain to cut off the burning foremast and knock it down.

The thick timber smashed into the side and swayed into the waves, and the wisps of green smoke dissipated in a few moments, and there was no trace of their existence......

……

The clouds open and the rain is misty.

After struggling for three or four hours, the scarred Golden Deer was finally pushed out of the storm zone by the waves.

Lorraine sat down on the deck, panting for breath as the clouds faded away.

The hatch was opened.

The cockpit door creaked open, and Jenny and McCarthy flew out of the cabin with a quack, followed by a white ear meow that came out like a tiger descending the mountain, full of domineering.

Henna, Noah, and Carmen walked in company, disheveled, and tired.

They were followed by Pierce, Wang Ye, and Daniel, and Pierce's forehead was wrapped in a new gauze, and the red spots under the gauze looked particularly miserable.

The wind is calm and the waves are calm.

The sailors stepped out of the bilge one after another, looking at the terrible scene on the ship.

"What about assault boats? Where did our assault boats go? ”

"What is the assault boat, don't you see that even the foremast is missing?"

"Hell, it's just a storm, why did you cut down the foremast too?"

"Lightning strike? Our ship? Got a lightning strike just now? After being struck by lightning, we didn't go to God? ”

"Hallelujah, merciful Lord!" ……

Listening to the gossip in her ears, Lorraine leaned back with tears and laughter, and lay down on the deck with her hands and feet wide open.

Henna stood right behind his head, condescendingly looking at him.

Having been a partner for so many years, she knew Lorraine needed her now.

"Hena, count the dead and wounded, clean the inner cabin, deck and sails need to be repaired. There is also a rudder, taking advantage of the fine weather, arranging for people to go into the water to fully inspect the rudder. It's important to see if we can make it through the rest of the way......"

"Got it."

"I'll leave the rest to you." Lorraine sighed tiredly, "Noya, I need the traditional skills of the Roma now, can you invite me to sit in your caravan?" ”

Noah lowered her head, her little face flushed: "My caravan is always open for you, Captain." ”

"That's great......"

A few people were chatting, and suddenly Pierce's surprised cheer came from the stern deck: "Whale! Oh my God, so many whales! ”

The survivors of the catastrophe helped each other to climb to the deck, hold on to the railing, and enjoy the rare sight of whales coming out of the water.

The group of whales gathered on the sea surface four or five hundred meters away from the ship, some large and some small, with huge heads and narrow tails, and there were dozens of them, and their brown bodies glowed faintly in the sun.

They frolic on the surface of the sea.

Flocks of calves chirp and dive to the bottom of the sea, slapping the waves with their tails, and the big whales float lazily on the surface of the sea, occasionally spewing out large puffs of mist, refracting the sunlight and creating bright rainbows one after another.

Daniel stood behind Lorraine and said coolly, "Captain, I've heard that your bloodline is called a whaler. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The secretions in the intestines of sperm whales are called ambergris. After drying and grinding, it can be used to treat coughs and heartaches, and it is a valuable and rare medicinal material. And Grasse's perfumers love the material, which can cost hundreds of pounds a pound......"

"Daniel, we are comrades-in-arms who have been through the storm together, don't you think it's a bit embarrassing to talk about such a topic at this time?"

"This is purely rational thinking, sir." Daniel was unmoved, "and there's no evidence whatsoever that they lived through that storm too." ”

"They were around me during the storm, I heard it." Lorraine laughed lazily, "Don't doubt the whalers, below the surface of the sea, I am the authority." ”
