"What's going on?" The water cup on Xiao Mingli's table suddenly poured and spilled, and the Yunsheng No. 1 passenger and cargo ship, which was in normal motion, suddenly slammed as if it had suddenly tripped over something. "Where's the shaking? Stranded? Crashed the ship? ”

"I don't know what to do! It's too dark outside to see clearly. Liu Dafa, who had been looking out the window, was a little surprised, but soon his face was full of panic, "What's the matter?" How did it get brighter?! ”

Xiao Mingli also felt a sudden light in the cabin, and a dazzling white light filled the entire cabin. This is definitely not the effect that the dim lights in the cabin can produce, Xiao Mingli subconsciously closed his eyes, and there was a noisy and chaotic sound in his ears, and the ship felt slightly tilted.

Soon, feeling that the cabin was back to normal again, Xiao Mingli opened his eyes and rushed to the deck with an arrow step. It was still dark outside, the ship had stopped, and the roll seemed to have stopped. There was a faint shouting in front of the left, but the wind was so loud in the course that it was difficult to hear clearly.

There were more and more people on the deck, and everyone was gossiping, sometimes mixed with the crying of children.

"Please don't panic, our ship ran aground unexpectedly, and we are currently contacting the maritime department for rescue, please return to the cabin in an orderly manner......" The ship's tweeter sounded, repeating over and over again.

"How's it going?" Xiao Bailang, the captain of Yunsheng No. 1, asked anxiously, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"There was no water in the hold, and the hull was intact." Chief Engineer Han Dezhi had just finished inspecting the hull and equipment with others, and he hurriedly came up to report.

"Has anyone been hurt? Quickly go to each cabin to check, and if you are injured, immediately take first aid. Xiao Bailang waved his hand and motioned to the ship doctor to hurry up and deal with it, "Is there still no signal from the navigation equipment?" ”

"Well, not only that, but the Inmarsat phone can't be reached either. And ......" the first mate Wang Tiehammer took out the mobile phone in his pocket, but there was no signal.

Xiao Bailang was speechless for a long time before asking, "What's the matter with the barge?" Stranded too? It's really strange, this channel has been going for so many years, and it is now a period of high water, how can it be stranded. ”

No one could answer, and the vision that had just happened in the sky made everyone vaguely have bad associations.

The ship's attendants entered the various cabins and asked each passenger how they were doing, and what help they needed. Thanks to their efforts, the passengers temporarily regained their composure, and the noise gradually became quieter.

"It's the sea breeze!" Wang Qinian smelled the wet air and said categorically, "I have been blowing in the Zhoushan Islands for three years, and I will never be mistaken." ”

"Sea breeze? No way? We are sailing on the Yangtze River. Ma Qianzu, director of a county-level municipal party committee office, handed a cigarette to Wang Qinian, puzzled.

"So I'm weird. And didn't you find out? Wang Qinian turned on his bright flashlight and shone it into the distance, "The width of the river we stranded is only about 30 meters, and the depth of the water is at most three or four meters. At the moment our location should be the mouth of the river, at least not far from it. ”

"Don't overthink it." Ma Ganzu threw the cigarette butt into the river, and walked towards the cabin in a blink of an eye, "I will know the situation at dawn." ”

The waiter handed out a lot of biscuits to the passengers and brought hot water to everyone. The passengers' dissatisfaction subsided a lot, and most of them waited quietly for the arrival of rescuers, and some even went back to bed with relief.

*********************************

Shao Shude muttered a few times in dissatisfaction and got up from the bed. The sun had already risen, and there was a lot of noise on the deck, like a lot of people were arguing emotionally, and some were crying.

"What's wrong?" Shao Shude gently patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, this is a young man in his twenties, and Shao Shude is a fellow countryman, who met on the boat, and the two had a good chat yesterday.

"Brother Shao! Something is wrong! The young man Qian Hao waved his arms violently and said excitedly, "We have crossed!" This is not the Yangtze River! We crossed! ”

"What nonsense!" Shao Shude almost blurted out this sentence, but thinking of the strange situation last night, he held back and didn't say it.

"And, Brother Shao, look at the sky!" Qian Hao looked up at the sun with an excited face.

"Grass!" Shao Shude was also stunned at this time, it was almost half past eight in the morning, and the sun was already high. But that's not the point, the point is that the sun is actually hanging in the northern sky! What does this mean? This shows that they are now in the Southern Hemisphere!

"No one from the maritime department has come to the rescue yet?" As soon as Shao Shude's words came out, he knew that he was wrong, Nima was in the southern hemisphere, and he saved a fart!

"All the communication equipment on board has failed, and I haven't been able to contact anyone since last night! There is no signal for satellite nav! Qian Hao said as he pointed to the captain's room, "Look, there is a group of people blocking the door of the captain's room, all looking for explanations." ”

Shao Shude looked up, and sure enough, there was a group of people standing in the dark at the door of the captain's room, but the voice was too noisy to hear what they were talking about.

"Travelers...... friends" Xiao Bailang's forehead was covered with sweat, his collar was also crooked, and his voice was already a little hoarse: "We are verifying the specific situation!" Rest assured, we have sent someone ashore to ask for help! ”

The passengers, apparently not satisfied with this rhetoric, began to befriend again, and some of the grumpy people even began to push, and the security guards rushed forward to separate the crowd.

"Huh! They're back! The king hammers them are back! Security captain Lin Youde suddenly roared, attracting everyone's attention.

"It looks like it's just a few of them!"

"That's not right! Someone is chasing them from behind! ”

"I'll it! Who is that? Paint your face like a ghost! ”

"Ahh Native American! Is this a movie? ”

Xiao Bailang rushed away from the crowd, leaned on the railing, and looked ahead. Sure enough, it's his first mate, the Iron Hammer!

In the morning, Wang Tiehammer took two security guards to go ashore in a lifeboat to ask for help, and it was only more than two hours later, why did he come back? And was it brought back? Who's behind that? He was covered with animal skins and bird feathers on his head, and he didn't know what to shout.

Wang Tiehammer and the three climbed onto the lifeboat and quickly drove towards the center of the river, but fortunately, the pursuers behind were still a little far away, and there were no long-range weapons, so they were able to get out of danger smoothly.

"Oh my god, I'm back!" Wang Tiehammer sat on the deck, panting.

"Did anyone find anyone? What happened? Who is chasing you? Xiao Bailang smashed Wang Tiehammer with a series of doubts, and his tone was fast and urgent.

"We ...... We searched for a long time and didn't meet anyone. Wang Tiehammer took a breath and said, "This place is like a wilderness, and there is no sign of human activity at all. No, we met these Indians. Grandma is a bear, and when she sees us from afar, she screams and rushes over with her spear, as if she has seen an enemy who killed her father. ”

Xiao Bailang's gaze turned to the other two security guards, and they nodded at the same time, confirming that what Wang Tiehammer said was true.

"Boom!" The crowd exploded all at once, and the news brought back by Wang Tiehammer spread at an alarming speed, and the people who heard it were either happy or sad, or at a loss, or emotional, and so on.

"There are so many Indians again!" Suddenly, someone shouted.

Sure enough, I saw that the "suspected Indians" who were chasing Wang Tiehammer just now had rushed to the shore and demonstrated there with their spears. Behind them, at the edge of the woods, a dozen more men in the same costumes as them appeared, hurrying towards the riverbank.

"What are they doing? Ah, I've been shot! One of the hapless ghosts suddenly screamed. The crowd dispersed like a frightened herd of deer. The ship's doctor immediately dragged the first-aid kit over, and after a closer look, he found that this guy was not hit by an arrow at all, but his sleeve was pierced by an arrow. Soon, a few more arrows landed sporadically on the deck. Several barges and tugboats stranded in front of them were also taken care of by bows and arrows, and several people who had been looking out for themselves quickly took refuge in the cabin.

"It's a bone arrow! The craftsmanship is crude. Wang Qinian picked up a scattered arrow with his waist on his waist, "Looking at the strength of the arrow just now, the bow is not much stronger, at least it is not well maintained." ”

"Gotta find a way to get them away." There was a black-faced man of twenty-eight or nine next to him, leaning over with his waist leaning over, "There are a lot of high-precision hunting crossbows in the cargo hold, which are much stronger than their broken bows and arrows." Just shoot a few down, and most of the wild people will scatter in a hurry. ”

"This ...... It's illegal, right? Ma Ganzu was a little unsure.

"What a!" Xiao Bailang on the side spit out viciously, "They all shot us with arrows, so why don't we give them a few shots?" Xiaolin, you take a few people down to the warehouse and bring up a few hunting crossbows. ”

Lin Youde, the captain of the security team, hurriedly responded and took a few security guards to hurriedly go down to the warehouse.

The "suspected Indians" on the opposite side were still shouting, and even a few wooden javelins flew towards the barge and Yunsheng No. 1, but fortunately there were no casualties.

"Captain, here comes the hunting crossbow." Lin Youde and four security guards dragged a cardboard box and rushed over.

Without saying a word, the black-faced man assembles the hunting crossbow, then loads the arrows, winds them, and aims them.

"Poof!" The 8-millimeter featherless arrow flew out of the river, and a "suspected Indian" on the riverbank shook and fell. "Poof!" "Poof!" The black-faced man shot two more arrows, his face was not red or panting, and both arrows were hit.

The "Indians" on the shore and the passengers on the ship looked stupid at the same time. The "Indian" was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran into the woods, while the passengers of the ship involuntarily looked at the black-faced man.

"High-precision hunting crossbow with optical sight. 8 mm featherless arrow, the muzzle velocity of the arrow is 150 m / s, the effective range is 125 meters, and the distance deviation of 60 meters is within 20 mm. Well, don't look at me, I usually use this thing when I'm hunting. The black-faced man blushed a little.

"All these Indians are dead, aren't they? This...... Although this is self-defense, it is also excessive defense, right? "The ship doctor Wang Liao couldn't accept everything in front of him.

"Whew! Lao Wang, are there still Indians in this shape in modern society? Besides, so much happened from last night to now, why haven't you understood it? In my opinion, we must have crossed over! I just don't know where and what era Lu Dao is now. Lin Youde smiled at the old Wang, the boat doctor, and his expression was still a little yearning as he spoke, daring to love this kid who was already looking forward to crossing.

Xiao Bailang slowly stood up, sighed, and said with a complicated expression: "It seems that we are going to hold a plenary meeting." ”
