Chapter Seventy-Three: Stranded

The next day, the wood and the stone were quarreled with the sound of the quarrel, Lao Wang and Xiao Glasses came out of the cabin next door without knowing the situation, it turned out that Akagi and Lao Li were arguing, but Akagi was driving the boat in the captain's room, Lao Li was locked outside and knocked on the door desperately, and the boat had sailed into the first strait!

Just a few minutes ago, the tide showed signs of upwelling, and Akagi took advantage of Lao Li's observation of the tide pattern on the deck, closed the captain's room, launched the salvage ship, lifted anchor and sailed at full speed to the first channel. By the time Lao Li arrived, it was too late to stop it.

"Why don't you leave when the tide is high?!" Akagi didn't ask, but got angry.

"There will be a high tide when the moon is full, why are you so impulsive! I don't know how long the tide will last, if it touches the reef, you will kill us!" Lao Li could only knock on the door helplessly and angrily, he understood Akagi's impatience, but he couldn't forgive Akagi for ignoring the lives of other crew members and risking the lives of a boatload of people.

"I can't wait. "The first strait is less than 100 meters, and it is about to be crossed, Akagi no longer pays attention to Lao Li, he rudder to the right, and then the second and longest strait, the waves in the strait are more than two meters, which is a big wave, and the strait is so narrow that it can only accommodate one boat, and there is no turning back. The five men outside the captain's room could only pray for safety, and the waves were so rough that the reef swayed and the stones vomited like never before. Lao Wang was worried about hitting the rocks, so he persuaded Akagi to open the door and leave it to the experienced Lao Li to control, Akagi's mistake can only be asked again after the autumn, and now the important thing is to quickly sail the ship through the Ghost Gate Pass, the remaining two straits. Because the three straits are full of reefs, there is no way to find a safe place to dock ships under such strong waves.

The wind was blowing, the dark clouds were dense, the sun was closed before it could appear, the sky was not beautiful, and a storm was coming. Lao Li and Akagi held the rudder hard to prevent the ship from deviating from course, but they still hit the reef several times, and the hull of the ship was violently turbulent, and the situation was not optimistic.

"The wind and waves are getting bigger, hurry!" Lao Li didn't blame Akagi, he was only worried about hitting the reef now, no matter how strong the ship was, it would not be able to withstand the impact just now, the cabin should have been flooded, and it would sink if he was not careful; he was also worried that the tide would drop at any time, and if he ran aground, he would not be able to open the strait, and he was even more worried about the upcoming storm.

The boat finally sailed out of the second strait in a thrilling way, "We have to hurry! The tide is falling!" Lao Li looked at the falling tide and yelled hysterically.

Suddenly, there was a thud of metal, the water was not deep enough, and the ship got stuck at the entrance of the last strait, and it saw that there were still 100 meters to pass, but all the work was lost. Lao Li slammed his fists on the dashboard, then turned around and pinched Akagi's neckline, picked up his fist and beat Akagi fiercely. A lot of blood flowed from the corners of Akagi's mouth, and his eyes were desperate.
