Chapter 40: Facing the Crisis
The boat capsized! But at this time, the tornado also strangely disappeared suddenly. This cruise ship claims to be "unsinkable", but it is not said casually. It rolled on its side, but it still didn't sink. Because there is a huge confined space in the hull, this confined space provides enough buoyancy for the cruise ship.
Although the ship did not sink, it flipped on its side and the sea water naturally poured into all the rooms on board.
Captain Wang Yang and his crew were the first to surface. Soon, Lin Yu pulled Tan Furong and came to the sea. Because everyone was prepared, no one drowned in the sea. Everyone surfaced in life jackets.
But the sea is cold. Tan Furong'er's red lips have turned purple, and she can actually swim herself, but in front of an ocean, she has a completely panicked expression.
Lin Yu: "Miss, I'll hold you, you quickly climb to the hull." ”
Tan Furong'er: "Okay." ”
At the beginning of the design of this cruise ship, the survival of people after the rollover was taken into account. Therefore, it is designed that after it rolls over, the bottom of the boat actually rises to the surface. Not only that, but there is also a fence around the bottom of the boat, and people only need to tie a rope from their life jacket to the guardrail so that they will not be swept away by the waves.
With Lin Yu's help, Tan Furong was the first to climb to the bottom of the boat. Lin Yu followed.
Others saw this and followed suit. Captain Wang Yang and his crew were the last to climb to the bottom of the ship.
Tan Furong'er grabbed her jade arm with both hands, protected it on her chest, and said, "It's so cold." ”
Lin Yu: "Let each of us take off a shirt and tie it into a brocade curtain with these tops, so that it will become a temporary dressing room." You can change your wet clothes. ”
Tan Furong'er: "Good idea." I'll arrange it. ”
So, under Tan Furong'er's arrangement, she, Tan Fuxiong, and Tan Fuyuan changed into dry clothes in turn. Then the others also took turns changing into their spare clothes. The clothes were previously wrapped in sealed plastic bags, so they were not soaked in seawater.
But not everyone is so well prepared by the Tan Fu family. Most of them had no clothes to change into. The sea breeze blew and everyone felt cold.
The next thing is to wait for rescue. Lin Yu and the other seven secret policemen all knew it. The robot group will definitely arrange people to come to the rescue in time.
However, there is still a certain danger before the rescue arrives. This danger does not come from the sea, but from other people here: so many people don't actually have much food with them, and some people don't even have food on them.
It takes time for rescue to arrive. Before help arrives, maybe those who don't have food will riot and snatch food from others.
The people were quiet for a while. At this time, some people began to take out some of the food they had brought with them and ate them. Others without food quickly realized the crisis. So those who had no food to eat began to quietly draw closer together. Then they whispered something about it.
These actions of theirs have aroused the alarm of those who have food to eat. In this atmosphere, those who have food also begin to gather. In this way, two "camps" are faintly formed.
But less than a third of the people have food. Their numbers are at a disadvantage.
The atmosphere is becoming more and more subtle. After a few hours, this subtle atmosphere was finally broken by people without food. One of them, who couldn't stand the hunger, said, "Hey, those of you who have food with you, give us some of it." We were so hungry. ”
When the captain Wang Yang heard this, he and his crew gathered together and discussed in a low voice. Tan Furong'er asked Lin Yu in a low voice: "Le Xiao, what should we do?" Several of those who had no food also had guns on them, and I recognized some of them as nobles. ”
Lin Yu: "Let's just wait and see what happens." I'm sure those crew members know more about the people on board than we do. Let's see what the crew will do first. Don't worry, miss, we have eighteen Shadow Guards on our side. Now our side is the strongest. ”
Seeing the calm expression on Lin Yu's face, the worry in Tan Furong'er's heart suddenly eased a little. Sitting beside Lin Yu, she suddenly had a wonderful feeling. This feeling seems to be the "love thread" in her heart, moved by someone.
At this moment, a school of highly poisonous swordfish appeared on the surface of the sea. Swordfish are a very peculiar type of shark that can hunt super-large fish such as killer whales in the sea in large groups. The weapon is a sharp thorn protruding from the front of their head, and this sharp thorn is highly poisonous.
Captain Wang Yang's face changed, and he roared loudly: "It's a highly poisonous swordfish!" Everybody get out of the guardrail. ”
When Lin Yu heard this, his face did not change color, but his heart was also cold. The threat of poisonous swordfish comes from their stingers, which can temporarily incapacitate if they are not poisoned. However, he glanced at the sea in the distance, shrank his gaze, and said, "There are huge waves in the distance, and we can't leave the guardrail, because the rope can't be untied." ”
Tan Furong'er: "Then what should I do?" The swordfish are coming. ”
Lin Yu shouted, "There are huge waves coming towards this side in the distance. Anyone with guns came over, and we stayed on the fence to stop the swordfish. As for those who didn't have guns on them, Lin Yu didn't know whether to let them untie the ropes or let them stay at the guardrail.
The crowd panicked. Giant waves and swordfish are deadly threats. If you stay on the fence, you will be in danger of being attacked by swordfish, but if you untie the rope and leave the fence, you will also be swept away by the waves. Although the bottom of the ship is floating on the surface of the sea now, when the huge waves come, it will naturally flood the bottom of the boat.
The group of poisonous swordfish finally swam to the fence, and they seemed to realize that humans were their "feast". However, before they could jump out of the water and attack the humans, Lin Yu shouted loudly: "Shoot a volley!" ”
Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out, and the fish were in disarray. They quickly avoided it. Lin Yu's heart was slightly relieved: It was successful. However, a few moments later, swordfish attacked humans from somewhere else. Those who stayed on other guardrails began to be stabbed by swordfish. In a panic, many people began to untie their ropes and retreat behind Lin Yu and other gunmen.
The Great Wave is already coming. Lin Yu shouted: "Attention those who untie the ropes, before the huge waves come, you must rush to the surrounding guardrails and tie the ropes again!" ”
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to others, and only blocked his body in front of Tan Furong'er. He's done his best, but he can't protect everyone here. The swordfish lost their other targets and approached Lin Yu and the gunmen again.
