Chapter 4 Shipwreck

During this short conversation, the two obviously felt that the whole ship was tilting a little again, and the anxious captain also wanted to go down to understand the situation, but he first said to Yang Qingnan, who didn't know how to be good: "You might as well go and see how the others are doing." Tell them not to move around, my boat won't be so easy to hang up. ”

With his words, Yang Qing went down to the negative floor, and he saw that everyone was already standing in the aisle, and a dark-skinned crew member was comforting them.

"Everyone, please be quiet, we have only encountered a small emergency, and it will be fine soon, now go back to our respective cabins and wait, no need to worry."

"Lie to me?" A slightly chubby woman stomped her feet and made a noise, "You see the floor is shaking like this, and you still say it's okay?" ”

That's good, when she said this, the other passengers became even more panicked, and some even children yelled to go home. Faced with this chaotic scene, the crew was speechless for a while.

Yang Qingnan watched from a distance, and saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly walked over to save the scene: "This eldest sister, if you still don't believe it, you can go with me to see the scene, and I promise that it will not be as bad as you think." ”

"Okay, just look at it."

So Yang Qingnan took her down the light steel ladder at the end, and after reaching the luxury cabin on the second floor, she continued to go down, and finally came to the cargo hold. The difference is that there is a door between this and the cargo hold, as a resting place for the ship's staff, almost all the utensils and maintenance tools are placed here, and Yang Qingnan actually found an old small coffee machine.

As long as you go down the straight ladder again, you can get to the core power room, but Yang Qingnan can't go down, and the closed hatch is forbidden for outsiders to enter.

But the inside can be seen through the thickened blast-proof glass on the outside, where the crew has filled the gaps with tarpaulins and then boarded them up. They also need a pump to drain all the water after the emergency treatment.

"For the sake of your safety, people can be regarded as doing their best." Yang Qingnan stared at the busy figures of the crew and said.

The young woman was also a little touched by this, and she said that she would definitely promote the dirty-bearded boat when she returned. Yang Qingnan said in his heart that it is very good if you have this heart, so don't complain about other people's mistakes.

After ten minutes, the hull regained its former sense of balance, and the big guys returned to their cabins and began to make up for a while. Yang Qingnan only dozed off for a while and couldn't sleep, waiting for him was the dawn of dawn rising in the sky.

The white marshmallow was dyed a beautiful golden yellow by it, and the wind was also cool and soft, Yang Qingnan moved a sturdy lazy chair and changed into a loose shirt and shorts. The light shimmered between the sky and the sea, and it was not only nostalgia for his chest and toes.

If you add a pair of sunglasses, he really becomes a vacationer.

"Damn, I haven't seen land after all this time." On the lookout, a certain crew member said a grumbling word, but Yang Qingnan turned a deaf ear.

The sun was warm and comfortable in the morning, but it became scorching at noon, and Yang Qingnan planned to move the chair to a cool place. The moment he looked up, he found a fish lying on his chest, and his toenails turned red. He wiped it lightly with his fingers, it was wax, and he didn't know which mischievous trickster's prank.

Draw it, he doesn't really care much about it anyway. Yang Qingnan lay back on the lazy chair and looked at the sky without blinking, and the crew member in charge of keeping an eye shouted again: "I see the land!" I see land! ”

Yang Qingnan rolled over and gradually fell asleep.

The weather at sea is unpredictable, from sunny mornings to cloudy winds in the afternoon. In the evening, the wind was even stronger, and the crew reminded the passengers to put away their drying materials because the storm was coming again.

The raindrops were already large and heavy, and the violent wind made them even more powerful, swaying the passenger ship from side to side. The tumbling waves crashed relentlessly against the side of the ship, threatening to disassemble it into pieces. It was dark, and I couldn't make out where I was going.

The captain claimed that he had never seen such a powerful storm surge, just as this storm surge had never seen such a solid behemoth.

He couldn't explain why, but he always thought his ship would sink, so he found an external wireless contact to call the ships in the nearby waters, but only received a faint response.

The crew members were huddled together at the bottom of the ship, and this ship was their second home, and they couldn't just turn it over. Yang Qingnan and the others were in their cabins, just waiting for the raging storm to pass.

Until 10 p.m., the weather was still very bad, and the storm surge had not stopped. Yang Qingnan, who was locked in the cabin, pressed the doorknob and pressed his feet against the edge, only in this way could he keep his balance.

The gradual storm would have been a good thing, but it raised a big problem. The damage to the hull was insignificant, but the newly installed engine stalled for no apparent reason, and then the cycle started to fail.

Several crew members pointed fingers at the faulty engine, after all, they were not good at repairing machinery, so they couldn't ask for too much. At the same time, the captain's distress signal was finally answered, and the three rescue boats were belatedly flashing their hazard lights.

The draft of the passenger ship was very deep, and the passengers on board were already in disarray, almost all falling in the same direction. Yang Qingnan opened the door and went out of the cabin, only to see the captain smoking a cigarette and looking ahead.

"Hey!" Yang Qingnan shouted, but did not get a response.

Just as he walked over to warn, the captain suddenly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I just want to ask, can this ship still be driven?"

"I don't know." The captain shrugged his shoulders and replied vaguely, "We will find out the cause of the fault when the maintenance personnel come." ”

"Oh, that's right." The more Yang Qingnan thought about it, the more he felt that he was angry, as the captain of a ship, he couldn't even repair a small engine. And there are no maintenance technicians, which is too unreasonable.

About half an hour later, at one point in the direction of the passenger boat, a blue-and-white patrol motorboat sailed into the field of vision with another medium-sized fishing boat.

The crew was instructed to lower the ramp and allow the maintenance personnel to enter the cabin to inspect the equipment, and it would take some time to troubleshoot, so the captain suggested that those who were in a hurry could leave the fishing boat first.

Although the fishing boat is large, it is not used to carry people, and it is impossible to take all the people with it. However, considering the weather conditions, the captain made a quick decision and ordered the twelve rubber liferafts in the bilge to be activated. These dinghies are big enough that it is no problem to fit four or five people.

Yang Qingnan also wanted to go ashore early, he had already vomited on this ship more than once, except for inland passenger ships and sightseeing boats, he had never taken any more durable ships.

Luckily, he jumped into an empty lifeboat, and if he could sail alone without thinking about others, then why say no?

Unfortunately, before the oars could move, he was caught.
