Chapter 18: Drifting Away

Under the sound of the huge waves, the screams of the boaters became inaudible.

For others, the lifeboat is like a lonely boat, drifting in the stormy seas, and it may end up in pieces at any time. Yan Shao, on the other hand, felt like he was on a roller coaster, but there was no safety device...

Feeling the amplitude of the bump getting bigger and bigger, Yan Shao pressed Elano under him. I don't know how long it took for the road, but just when Yan Shao felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, the hurricane finally calmed down a little.

"Did you finally make it through..."

After making sure that the hurricane had subsided a bit, Yan Shao got up to observe the surrounding situation, but he was surprised to find that the lifeboat that could have filled 20 people at this time had less than 10 people left at this moment...

Only 6 people, to be exact...

They were the first sailors to get on board, two middle-aged men who had met at the dinner party, and the red-haired girl named Katarina...

The rest of the people may have fallen into the sea under the repeated lapping of the waves.

"God forbid, we finally made it through..."

Seeing that the waves were already much smaller, a middle-aged man sitting opposite him said happily.

Hearing his words, Yan Shao looked around.

At this time, the cruise ship was gone, and it was estimated that it sank to the bottom of the sea with the rest of the passengers, in addition to many lifeboats on the sea...... The wreckage...

That's right, the wreckage ...

In such a large-scale hurricane, even lifeboats may not be spared, many lifeboats are torn apart by the lapping of the waves, and in addition to the lifeboats that Yan Shao is riding, there are only a few that can be spared...

It's just that even those lifeboats have been attritional, and the number of survivors on some lifeboats is even less than that of Yan Shao.

Not surprisingly, the International Lifeboat Federation was founded in London in 1924 as a non-governmental international professional organization. The purpose of the event is to exchange experience in life-saving techniques at sea, improve the design performance of life-saving boats, boats, equipment and equipment, and the technical conditions of life-saving personnel, so as to maintain the safety of human life at sea.

However, during this period, the lifeboat alliance had not yet been established, and there would naturally be no seat belts on the lifeboats of cruise ships.

In addition to the people who were thrown out of the lifeboats, there were also quite a few passengers who jumped into the sea when the cruise ship sank.

Despite the large waves, the men did not sink to the bottom of the sea with the help of life jackets.

It's just that after going through a lot of tossing, some people are still struggling, and some people are already motionless and don't know life and death...

On the other hand, although the hurricane has subsided somewhat, the waves are still very large, and if you are not careful, the lifeboat may capsize. So there was no need to be reminded that the sailor had already taken out an oar from the boat to maintain the balance of the lifeboat as much as possible.

"Yan, you see that person's situation seems to be a little wrong..."

Just as the sailor was desperately paddling the oars, Elanon, who had gotten up from Yan Shao's arms, pointed at Katarina.

Hearing her reminder, Yan Shao also noticed that something was wrong.

Caterina was not thrown out of the lifeboat like the others, but she lay motionless, and most importantly there was a lot of red blood flowing out from under her, mixed with the water inside the boat...

"Something happened..."

Thinking so, Yan Shao grabbed the hull of the boat and sat beside her and helped her up.

Although she was already mentally prepared that she would be injured, Yan Shao was still startled after helping Katerina up.

On the left side of Katerina's face, a wound about 10 centimeters long ran from her forehead to her cheek, from which the blood mixed with the sea water flowed.

The only thing that is good for me is that the wound, although scary, did not hurt my eyes.

"It's so serious..."

Seeing the severity of the injury, Elinor and the other three men were shocked.

"There is a life-saving kit on the lifeboat and there it is !!"

The sailor who was trying to keep the oars with his oars said loudly.

Under his instructions, Yan Shao soon found the life-saving medicine bag in the lifeboat.

It's just that the life-saving medicine kit has been found, but who will use it has become a problem.

Among the six people on the boat, none of them are studying medicine, the sailor knows something, but he needs to keep the balance of the lifeboatβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” although the situation has improved, but the lifeboat still has the possibility of capsizing, someone must maintain the balance of the lifeboat, and this working sailor himself is undoubtedly the most suitable one...

Seeing that several people on the boat were dumbfounded, Elano smiled helplessly and took the life-saving medicine bag from Yan Shao's hand.

"Come on, I've learned something about this with my father..."

As he spoke, he opened the medicine bag and took out the necessary items such as bandages from it.

After disinfecting Catalina with alcohol, Elaline removed the bandage from her medicine bag and bandaged her. Although he had only practiced a few times and had never done it in practice, Elaline was able to finish dressing the wound very quickly.

"Alright, there shouldn't be anything going on for now..."

Washing the blood from his hands with seawater, Elano turned to the others.

Seeing that there was indeed nothing wrong, several other people were also relieved.

But at this time, a man on the opposite side suddenly said.

"Do you feel as if we're getting farther and farther away from where the cruise ship sank..."

Hearing him say this, the few people who had been focusing on Caterina looked up and realized that they were indeed as he said, or should I say that the surviving lifeboats were getting farther away from each other with the waves, and they were just one of them...

"Hell, if we drift away from the wreck, won't the ships that come to the rescue find us!"

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the others, one of them said in a panic.

Hearing him say this, another person also spoke.

"yes, is there a way to paddle back?"

"No," the tired, sweaty sailor shook his head. The waves are so big that with a single oar, the balance alone is exhausted, and it is impossible to row back..."

Hearing the sailor say this, after looking at the paddle in his hand, which seemed to be a little thin, even if he was unwilling, the others knew that he was right.

In such a big wind and waves, the possibility of rowing back with a single oar is too small.

"Now I just hope that this hurricane can end as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid we will drift far away..."

Looking at the shipwreck site that was getting farther and farther away, Yan Shao smiled bitterly.

Hearing his words, several other people were also silent.
