0058 Hit the rocks

"Left rudder 10 degrees! 10 degrees! No, no, no, it's only 8 degrees, it's too much, turn it back! ”

The fog echoed with Yacharin's shrill screams, and Lorraine could not see anyone, so the sailors who could only follow the sound carefully adjust the position of the steering wheel, giving all their trust to Yacharin's eyes.

They were driving on a vast reef belt.

Dense reefs are distributed on the surface of the sea, hidden or visible, hidden in the fog. The people on the boat could only occasionally see one or two pieces coming out of the water, and they were all clinging to the hull of the ship, grazing the side of the ship.

This kind of voyage makes everyone's spirit tense.

They were dancing with death, and most recently, the knife-like reef had almost touched the hull.

Lorraine put Henna back on the lookout.

In the fog, the lookout could not see anything, and they only hoped that the fog would occasionally fall, giving them a chance to look into the distance, just once.

Because they are not far from the island.

Reefs are mountains in the sea, and contiguous reefs can only occur in shallow waters, which in turn only occur near land.

This is a simple corollary, which every sailor knows by heart.

Nervous, anticipating, waiting......

They know they're on the right track.

Vitality is approaching!

"Right rudder 15 degrees!"

Lorraine bit her lip and was engrossed, and as soon as she heard Acharin's shout, she clicked the steering wheel.

The Butterfly Flower tilted over the hull, slowly avoiding a protruding reef, and halfway through it, it suddenly slammed!

Rumble!

The starboard side hit the reef in an underwater position, and the whole ship was raised and tilted. Lorraine slammed the steering wheel to evade it, and faintly heard an exclamation, followed by the sound of rushing water.

Someone overboard?

Before he could figure out the situation, the sailors on deck were already shouting: "Look out for the overboard!" Ms. Jesra falls overboard on starboard! ”

Lorraine's face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "Pierce, take the helm!" ”

He scrambled to the steering wheel, ran to starboard in a few big steps, and jumped up without thinking.

Poof!

The icy waters enveloped her, and Lorraine opened her eyes.

The current is fast.

The turbulent water churned beneath the surface, making the water turbulent and muddy in the area, but with the help of the double eyelids, Lorraine could still see nearly 100 meters, much better than the visibility on the surface.

Stupid...... Why didn't you think about launching a pilot before?

He shook his head, first seeing the broken hull of the Butterfly Flower.

A severed reef was hidden a meter below the water, and a large diagonal hole was made in the hull on the starboard side.

The cave lasts for about two watertight compartments, but there is no more debris nearby except for the debris of the hull.

There are only a few watertight cabins on the ship that have no sundries, so fortunately, the Butterfly Flower did not pour more water, and through the emergency evasion just now, it has completely separated from the reef.

Lorraine slid around and soon found Henna in the distance.

She was thrown into the water from a height of more than 20 meters, and before she could do any protection, she was knocked unconscious by the hard sea.

She was sinking, her eyes closed, her bubbles fine, her slender limbs stretched out motionless, drifting farther and farther with the current.

The distance between the two sides is about fifty or sixty meters.

Lorraine gritted her teeth, surfaced, and shouted at the vague black shadow of the Butterfly Flower: "Pierce! ”

"Brother! I'm here! What are we going to do! ”

"The location of the reef is in the water filling tank, and the ship will not sink for the time being!" Lorraine took a deep breath, "You take the helm, follow Acharin's command, and continue to crosscut the circulation." Don't stop the boat! The circulation is too fast, and if you force the anchor to be pushed out, you will continue to hit the rocks! ”

"What about you?"

"I've found Henna, now I'm going to save her! See you in Hebasi! ”

With that, Lorraine plunged back into the water. He swung his legs along the current, swimming like a fish and pounced in the direction of Henna.

After a moment, Henna reappeared in his field of vision, still unconscious, with almost no bubbles on her lips.

Lorraine swam faster and faster, jumped up, hugged her, stepped on the water and quickly floated, and came out of the water with a thud.

With a milky sea of fog all around, and the Butterfly Flower had lost its tracks, Lorraine took a few long breaths and swam to a nearby reef with Henna's head, sinking into the water from time to time to make sure she didn't drift off.

He lifted Henna up the rock, took off her wet and heavy blouse, rolled it up and put it on the back of her neck, tilted her head, lifted her chin, and carefully cleaned the debris from her mouth and nose.

Immediately after, he pinched Henna's nose, opened his mouth, leaned in, wrapped his lips around her, and blew quickly.

Henna's lips were soft and cold, and Lorraine let go of her nose pinch hand to let the air out, five times in a row.

Five times later, he felt the xiphoid process along Henna's ribs, pointed upwards twice, and pressed it with his palm.

He folded his hands into a cross, his arms straightened, and pressed down vertically.

Pressing it, he shouted, "Henna, wake up!" ”

After pressing it, he shouted again: "Henna, wake up!" ”

Twelve compressions, five breaths, and three rounds in a row.

Henna coughed violently, and water flowed from her mouth and nose.

Lorraine was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to pick up Henna, gently placed her on her bent thigh, and gently patted her back so that the water in her respiratory tract and stomach could flow out smoothly.

A minute later, Henna finally regained consciousness.

She lay weakly in Lorraine's arms, opened her eyes, and whispered, "I...... Drowned? ”

"You fell off the lookout, you were knocked unconscious by the seawater, and you accidentally drank a few more sips of water, which is not drowning."

"Really......" she looked at the fog in confusion, "what about the Butterfly Flower?" ”

"She couldn't stop at the reef, so I told them to go to Hebasil first."

"Where's Hebasil?"

Lorraine raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Don't worry, I'll take you there." ”

"Hmm."

The two quietly hugged each other and rested on the reef for more than half an hour.

Henna felt that her strength had regained somewhat, so she tugged at Lorraine's sleeve: "I can." ”

Lorraine helped her to her feet, and the two jumped back into the water, paddling their arms gently.

Henna asked, "How far is Hebasil?" ”

"I don't know."

"In case ......"

"We'll find it." Lorraine interrupted Henna with a laugh, "Niold told me that it was in the center of the fog and that we were about to see it." ”

Henna stopped talking, took out the sling she had with her and handed it to Lorraine, who tied a knot around Henna's waist with the rope, leaving two meters for it, and wrapped it tightly around her waist.

"Are you ready?"

"Hmmm......"

The two swam towards the depths of the fog, with Lorraine in front and Henna behind, with a thin sling in the middle, cutting across the circulation like a butterfly flower, swimming for more than an hour, and finally breaking out of the reef.

All of a sudden, the sea warmed, the fog began to thin out, and the currents became weaker and weaker.

Lorraine finally saw the stars.

Originally...... It's already night.

He stopped in the middle of the sea and dragged henna for a long time, fighting against the rapids that made him physically exhausted, dizzy, and even his swimming posture became awkward.

Henna looked at him worriedly.

Lorraine reached out and patted Henna's face and smiled, "Look, we're through the fog zone." If there had been an octane at this time, I would have been able to calculate the latitude here. ”

"Let me swim by myself......"

"I'm going to see Hebasil. I promised you that I would take you ashore. ”
