The more Zhu Hong cried, the more sad she became, the louder she cried, and finally it almost became a hysterical, indictment of the Polaris that she would not save herself. This made Captain James extremely embarrassed and terrified. While holding Zhu Hong tightly, he looked at Tony's first mate with a gaze that seemed to ask for help.

Tony's first mate shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless. The onlookers all looked sad and silent, and some soft-hearted women even cried along with the sobs.

Doodoo ...... There was a sudden beep. First mate Tony was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly reached out to take off the walkie-talkie on his waist, listened quietly for a while with a straight face, and then turned his head sideways to report to Captain James: "Mr. Captain, the command cabin is calling for instructions, do you want to return to the ship now to carry out the second set of search and rescue plans?" ”

Captain James immediately said to First Officer Tony: "Very good, please bring the walkie-talkie, you can take care of Ms. Zhu by the way." ”

First mate Tony frowned, helplessly handing the walkie-talkie to Captain James.

It's just that what people never expected was that without waiting for Captain James to stretch out his right hand, Zhu Hong, who was crying, knelt down with a "plop", holding his legs with both hands and screaming with all his might: "Mr. Captain, Mr. Captain, I beg you, I beg you, don't go back, don't go back!" ”

"Why?" Captain James was taken aback, and hurriedly bent down to help Zhu Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, but where could he afford it?

The first mate of Tuoji held the walkie-talkie and stood stupidly. He didn't expect Zhu Hong to make such an astonishing move.

Zhu Hong struggled to break away from Captain James's support, knelt on the ground and cried: "Mr. Captain, you must not return home, I know that my Ah Hua is near here, must be near here!" As long as we take a few more turns around this sea area and search for a little longer, even if it is two or three hours, or even an hour, I guarantee that we will find my Ah Hua! Please believe me, please believe me! ”

When the tourists saw it, there were those who shook their heads and sighed, those who hid their faces and cried, and those who simply turned their heads to the distant sea because they couldn't bear to look directly.

Captain James sighed, pouted at Tony's first mate, signaled him to turn off and standby, and then slowly squatted down, and said to Zhu Hong patiently face to face: "I believe in you, I have always believed in you." But...... But you have to believe the facts. Our radar detection system is very powerful, can accurately distinguish between solid and liquid objects, especially those with vital signs, and has a detection range of 20 kilometers. So, do you still think Mr. Zhou will be near this sea area? ”

Zhu Hong was stunned, then raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face: "What about twenty kilometers away?" What if my Ahua gets lost chasing a cruise ship and swims 20 kilometers away? Didn't he bury his life in vain? Aren't we going to die and not be saved? Is it okay to have a conscience in this life? Mr. Captain, please don't hesitate to set sail and search around here. Maybe my Ah Hua is within 21 kilometers, watching our cruise ship and can't do anything. ”

Some tourists listened and nodded yes, thinking that this possibility still exists, and the probability is relatively large. However, some people disagree, believing that this is pure unrealistic speculation.

In order to dispel everyone's doubts, and to end Zhu Hong's embarrassing commotion as soon as possible, Captain James raised his voice and said loudly: "There is a disorientation in the dark, and Ms. Zhu Hong is eager to save her relatives, and we understand this feeling." But we might as well think about it rationally, with Mr. Zhou's physique, can he swim 20 kilometers away? Especially in a state of severe intoxication? ”

"Does Mr. Captain mean that Mr. Zhou has actually fallen into the water and died? So what's the point of us coming back all the way? Isn't this a wasted effort? With an aggressive rebuttal, the polite Chen Ke slowly walked out of the crowd. He lifted the glasses on his nose and turned to Captain James

First Officer Tony nodded, and said with a serious face, "Mr. Captain, First Officer Tony, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have interfered in this matter, especially the matter of Miss Zhu Hong, and I should stay away. But it's a matter of life, and you can't be negligent. ”

Captain James looked at Chen Ke who was talking in a daze, and replied vaguely for a long time: "Mr. Chen, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't actually say that Mr. Zhou had fallen into the water and died, and we were doing everything we could to search and rescue Mr. Zhou." The so-called life is supreme, there is no meaningful and meaningless thing, and there is no question of wasting efforts in vain. You say not? ”

"Life comes first, well said!" Chen Ke lightly slapped his palms a few times, glanced at the tourists who were talking in his ears, puffed up his chest and said loudly, "I also believe that Mr. Captain and all the crew members are adhering to the principle of 'life first', so they will work tirelessly to return to the ship to save people, even if this possibility is almost zero." Because of this, Mr. Zhou does not look strong enough, not strong enough, and it is indeed difficult to swim 20 kilometers. But I would like to solemnly remind Mr. Captain that human potential is limitless, especially at a time when life is at stake! ”

"Yes, human potential is amazing at times, it's just ......," Captain James looked up at Chen Ke, muttering for further explanation.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ke unceremoniously interrupted him: "Moreover, we haven't estimated other special circumstances that may arise. For example, in the process of drifting and escaping, will Mr. Zhou be lucky enough to pick up abandoned tools such as life jackets, lifebuoys, or wooden planks and wooden boxes? Imagine what else you can't encounter in this vast sea? And who can guarantee that such a miracle will not occur? The most important of these is that there were four to six winds and waves in this area last night, which is a well-documented weather information. From this, we can boldly speculate that when Mr. Zhou has a wooden plank or something that can barely support his body, and under the condition of a smooth wind, it is entirely possible to swim more than 20 kilometers......"

"There is also a possibility, but ......" Captain James knew that Chen Ke's words were full of loopholes and could not withstand scrutiny, but he was not 100% sure that there was no such possibility, so he had to answer vaguely, "But this is completely an ideal situation, and we have never given up on the search and rescue operation of Mr. Zhou." ”

Chen Ke smiled slightly, glanced at Tony's first mate with gloomy and complicated eyes, standing still, and continued to question Captain James: "Since Mr. Captain also thinks that there is such a possibility, even if it is a slight possibility, then why don't we give it a try?" Why can't we go around this area a little more and spend more time searching? Speaking of which, in fact, I missed one of the most critical links before......"

"Please." Captain James spread his hands and replied politely.

Although the onlookers did not agree with Chen Ke's point of view, when they heard that there were still key links, they all showed great interest, and everyone stretched their necks to listen to his next quietly.

"According to scientists, dolphins are not only tame, cute, intelligent, but also naturally warm-hearted, and most like to rescue people who fall into the water, and will persistently send them to shallow water. And there happen to be dolphins in this sea area, and one of them is named Xiaobai, which is particularly eye-catching......"

Before Chen Ke's words fell, an exclamation suddenly sounded outside the human wall, "Who?" Who's talking about my little white". Immediately afterwards, in the laughter and criticism of some tourists, a round-faced and handsome little girl rushed left and right and squeezed in desperately, shouting without taking a breath: "Who saw my Xiaobai?" Where is it? Please let me know, thank you! ”

Liang Shiqi, who was quietly leaning on Xu Wenlong's arms, opened her eyes suddenly, then shook her head and said with a wry smile: "This ghost girl is always so reckless, she is not a girl who is quiet and gentle, she is completely a naughty boy." ”

Xu Wenlong replied with a smile: "Hasn't she always been like this? But this time it was a good idea

Forgivable. After all, she likes her little white so much! Don't you see that she has been scurrying around the bow and stern of this ship since she returned? Throwing away food and pursing lips and shouting, the appearance of scratching ears and cheeks is like a breastfeeding child looking for his mother. ”

Liang Shiqi smiled sweetly when she heard this, leaned back in Xu Wenlong's arms, and looked at Wen Li in the circle with interest.

After Wen Li finished shouting, she found that the people around her were staring at her with strange and complicated eyes, like looking at an alien monster. She then patted her forehead in annoyance, salivated and said with a grin: "Okay, since everyone doesn't know, then forget it, you continue, I didn't say anything." With that, she turned around and tried to anoint the soles of her feet.

"Wait!" When Chen Ke saw it, he hurriedly waved her hand to stop her.

Wen Li looked back in amazement, saw Chen Ke and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?" Still want to trouble me? I can tell you, today is no more than the night before, in broad daylight, everyone is watching, my boss is here again, I am not afraid of you at all. Don't try to ask me when your 'Black Shark' will arrive. It doesn't matter if it's five or six hours, or ten or twenty days. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, I just want to find ...... early."

Chen Ke's face changed, and he hurriedly interrupted Wen Li's words and said: "Miss Wen Li just likes to joke and be funny, in fact, the purpose of asking you to wait just now is to ask if there is a dolphin named Xiaobai in this sea area." With that, he reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and quickly glanced at the tourists around him with an uneasy gaze.

Tourists naturally don't understand the small friction between them, let alone the meaning of Wen Li's headless words, they are more concerned about why the dolphin is called Xiaobai, including Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi.

Wen Li listened to Chen Ke's explanation, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her expression became relaxed: "Didn't you ask knowingly?" Isn't that the white dolphin? I still gave it the name. ”

"Thank you!" Chen Ke smiled, turned to Captain James and said, "Mr. Captain, did you hear that?" There are dolphins in this area, and I didn't make it up out of thin air. ”

Captain James nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a look of embarrassment for a long time: "We know about the dolphin, as for whether it will save people, whether it will save people, and where it will be saved, this is a very complicated issue. And we have the ...... of headquarters."

"Of course it will save people!" Although Wen Li didn't know what the captain and Chen Ke were arguing about, she was extremely sensitive and interested in the dolphin matter, so she immediately interjected and retorted to the captain regardless of 3721, "Especially my Xiaobai, kind and cute, and very naughty, I throw a broken swimming ring down, and it has to be carried on my back for a long time." If it hadn't been a little dark the night before, I would have ridden it to the sea. ”

Ah Ke was in good spirits, and immediately asked Wen Li: "Did you throw a swimming ring into the sea the night before?" ”

"yes, and threw down an unknown coat on the side of the ship." Wen Li replied proudly.

Ake smiled, turned to Captain James and spread his hands, indicating that all his assumptions were not unreasonable.

"This ......" Captain James scratched his head, muttering speechless.

Seeing this, Zhu Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately hugged his legs, whimpered and cried: "Mr. Captain, Mr. Captain, you can just promise me, just delay a little time, just a little time, and walk within a radius of dozens of kilometers." Even if I can't find my poor Ah Hua, my wish will be over, and I will no longer have any regrets or guilt in this life......"

The tourists on the deck felt that Zhu Hong was pitiful, and secondly, they also had the idea that they would rather believe it than believe it, so everyone persuaded Captain James one-sidedly: "Let's go, let's go, it's already back anyway, it's just a few more hours, what if you really find it......"
