Chapter 459: Captain Noah
Noah strode to the helmsman of the battleship, turned the rudder, adjusted the direction of the battleship slightly, and then shouted: "All sailors are in position, set sail, and go full speed!" ”
"Higg, immediately go to the isolation chamber to check, if there is a leak, immediately repair the seal!"
"Lu Fasi, immediately lead a few sailors to repair the damaged warship's hull, if it has nothing to do with the hull, don't pay attention to it!"
"Sindorf, immediately lead a few sailors to clean the cabin and unload all the heavy loads!"
……
Noah was unusual, giving four orders in a row, just like a captain, which was almost unquestionable.
Before Higg, Lufarsi, and Sindorf could react to the departure of the whales, they were shocked by Noah's strange behavior, and the three of them hesitated for a moment, and then replied almost in unison, "Yes, Captain Noah!" ”
After saying that, the three of them immediately acted separately, and the sailors in the cabin were also trembling to the deck by Noah's loud shouts, and saw that the sea was calm and calm, and those whales had long since gone away, and they could hardly believe their eyes, but they cheered for their own survival, and excitedly took their places and adjusted their sails.
At this time, the battleship was heavily tilted, and the tail of the battleship was relatively weak, so most of the isolation compartments with water intake were concentrated in the rear. There are a total of six isolation compartments, numbered from one to six from the bow to the stern, and now there are no damaged and flooded cabins, only the first and fourth compartments, so the battleship not only tilts to the right, but the bow also knocks the old high, and the aft deck of the battleship is almost submerged. The current quarantine compartment is still flooding, the battleship is still slowly sinking, and all items on the battleship that are not related to the voyage of the battleship must be discarded, including food and fresh water.
The whole battleship was still sinking slowly, at least three to four meters lower than the whole battleship at the full time, and the stern even reached six or seven meters, and the sea was about to be submerged on the deck.
"Immediately unload the anchor at the stern!" Noah ordered to the idle sailors.
Several sailors immediately ran to the stern of the ship, loosened the bolt of the last remaining anchor on the battleship, and the anchor, which was already underwater, immediately pulled the heavy iron chain and sank to the bottom of the sea, and the stern of the ship was suddenly raised slightly.
"Tear down everything on deck that can be dismantled at once!" Noah had the attitude that his days were overdue, and then ordered, "Throw them all into the sea!" ”
Except for a few sailors who operated the sails, the others immediately smashed everything that could be dismantled on the battleship, including the weapons warehouses piled up on both sides of the battleship, the entire arrow tower, arrow tower, etc., and even the lifeboat assault boats were left with only a few, and the others even smashed the lifeboat devices together...... In short, everything on the battleship that had nothing to do with the navigation of the hull was smashed and dismantled, and even the deck was dismantled by more than half. Finally, the battleship stopped sinking, but because of the severe damage, most of the hull sank in the water, the resistance was great, and there was only one sail left, and the voyage was very slow.
Higg, Lufasi, and Sindorf returned to the deck one after another, and although the battleship was temporarily saved, no one could keep it like this, and after a while it would sink and capsize. Although there are still two isolation cabins, the partition between the isolation cabin and the isolation cabin is very weak, and the water pressure increases deep in the sea, and it is easy to be crushed by the water pressure.
"Noah, what the hell is going on, will those whales come back?" Higg started by asking the most important questions for everyone.
"Not anymore!" Noah laughed, "Because the current sea god is no longer the killer whale, but the captain of this ship!" ”
"You?" The three exclaimed in unison.
"It turns out that the captain's hat made of killer whale skin can be combined with the Poseidon necklace to form the ultimate treasure, the Poseidon Crown!" Noah pointed to the dark blue faintly glowing hat on his head, and said with a smile, "So, I am the real sea god now, those whales saw me, they were all scared away, how dare they come back?" ”
The three of them took a breath of cool air at the same time, and then suddenly realized that everything before and Noah's strange behavior seemed to be explained, and the gloomy color on the faces of the three gradually dissipated.
"So, Mr. Poseidon, what are we going to do now?" Lufasi asked, "This battleship will not last long, sooner or later it will sink, where is our destination?" Do you want to make another raft and continue rafting? ”
"Don't worry, I already smell the land, as long as we continue to sail due east, we will soon see the mainland!" Noah said, "I am the god of the sea, no storm or big wave dares to approach us, boldly move forward, at most two days, we can land!" ”
"Mainland? Are you sure? Higg looked at the crown of the god of the sea on Noah's head in surprise, and said in disbelief, "I didn't expect that this crown of the god of the sea has such a great energy, which can not only expel whales, but also improve his navigation ability, which is really amazing!" ”
Cindorf smiled: "I hope our battleship can hold out for two more days, otherwise, we may have to continue drifting on the lifeboat!" I've thrown away most of the fresh water and food! ”
……
"Continental...... The sailors on the battleship shouted loudly in the continental ......", and many of them wept with joy, kneeling on the deck of the battleship, which was already a little bit of the battleship, which was the only foothold of the battleship that had been dismantled, and the battleship, which had been floating in the sea for two days, was about to sink because the battleship was too deep and often touched the reef in the sea through the hull.
Although they have just seen the continent and will continue to float for at least a few hours, they can't wait for Higg, Lufa, Noah, and Cindorf, who have been away from the mainland for almost a year. The land that is still far away in the sky looks so beautiful, so kind, so peaceful, they are like a group of children who have been lost and wandered for many years, and finally one day, they will return to their mother's arms.
……
Boom - with a few loud bangs, the hull of the battleship trembled violently, and when it was still two or three hundred meters away from the coastline, due to the shallowness of the sea, the battleship finally hit the reef, completely grounded, and remained motionless, swaying with the undulations of the waves.
"Abandon ship!" Noah gave an order, and the remaining eight lifeboats were slowly lowered, and all thirty sailors each supported the other twenty injured crew members, boarded the seven lifeboats, loaded the equipment that Noah had made in the laboratory, and began to row towards the shore with all their might, Higg and the others also boarded the last lifeboat, and finally looked back at the dilapidated battleship, and began to row towards the shore.
……
"What is this place, Mr. Poseidon?" Landing on the shore, Higg smiled and asked Noah, "No port, no city, no village, a barren!" ”
"I can only sail, I don't know about land, but I'm sure it must be Middle-earth!" Noah took off his crown of the god of the sea and said with a smile, "There are many reefs in this sea, and the water is not deep, it should not belong to the waterway, it will be late, let's leave the coast first and find a place to camp!" ”
"What about these sailors?" "If we want to explore inland, take them with us as a burden, and besides, they are sailors on Shenlong Island, and let them go back may expose our whereabouts and let the enemy know everything that happened on the battleship!" ”
"What are you going to do?" Higg said angrily, "I will never allow you to do this! They not only crossed the same boat with us, but also experienced risks together, escaped death, and you can bear to kill people? ”
Seeing that Higg, Lupha, and Noah were all looking at him angrily, Sindorf hurriedly said, "When did I say that I wanted to kill people and kill people, but there has to be a plan, right?" It's a burden to take it, I can't bear to kill them, let them fend for themselves, and I'm afraid that the clues will be traced by Shenlong Island, no matter what, we are not ready to deal with the black dragon, if Shenlong Island investigates that we killed the red dragon, not only will Fuxing City suffer, but also the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Area will be in danger! ”
"It's up to them!" Noah said, "If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to come back here!" If they want to break away from us, we don't have to say anything! But the idea of killing people and destroying mouths can't even be imagined! ”
……
Staying away from the coastline is for safety, so as not to be detected by others, and now for them, it is not clear what place this is, whether it is the sphere of influence of Shenlong Island, and it is not clear.
Those sailors are also very hesitant, following these perverted killing gods for a few months is indeed enough to torture them, but now there is no way out, what else can they do at sea, on land, these sailors who have been at sea for many years do not know how to survive, so after discussion, they decided to follow Higg and others for the time being.
Survival in the wild is already a common thing for Higg and the others, especially after living in the jungle with the people of the forest clan.
The strange thing is that although the vegetation here is luxuriant, it is very different from the vegetation of the forest country, the trees are basically not tall, the trees are overgrown, the environment is too humid, and there is miasma everywhere, no wonder there are no people here.
This is an open area of the plains, in addition to the lush vegetation, it is probably because of the perennial rainfall, the rainfall is abundant, resulting in potholes everywhere, many places are soaked in water, and if you accidentally step on it, you can lose half of your body. Of the sailors who were accustomed to living underground on Shenlong Island, more than a dozen of them accidentally landed on the road, but fortunately, they were rescued in time and dragged people out.
"Swamp!" Lufasi was taken aback, looking at the flat land with long aquatic grasses, but there were traps everywhere, and many puddles under the grass were red, and there seemed to be a white oil gloss on them, apparently the water quality was formed by the rotting roots of plants and the invasion of animal carcasses.
"What kind of swamp stretches to the sea?" Higg is very strange, it stands to reason that there should be a clear dividing line between the sea and the land, it should be a hard continent, the sea should be a beach, or a rock, and the sea and the swamp are directly connected, which is indeed rare, because the waves and tides will gradually melt the moist and soft swamp into the sea, until it meets the hard land, and the sea will not stop expanding. However, it is a real swampy area with few sandy beaches.
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Higg had to order: "Don't go any further, the night is too dangerous, find a place to camp on the spot!" ”
In fact, everyone has been waiting for someone to speak for a long time to stop, because this swamp is too terrifying, if you are not careful, you will fall into the quagmire, and people will disappear in an instant, and you can't save it if you want to!
