It was about five o'clock when the sun had set, and after about half an hour, the captain of the boat came back from outside, and without any further stop, the boat started and sailed out in a southeasterly direction.

The seal in the cabin was extremely poor, and a large amount of choking black smoke came in through the cracks. There was a window on each side of our cabin, and when we left the port, we could see the lights on the shore, until the fishing boats slowly moved away from the port, and the light of the lights was no longer visible.

There were no lights in the cabin, and the dim light from the fishing boat outside the hanging window shone in, making the cabin a little brighter. After leaving the port for more than an hour, the waves got bigger and bigger, and lying in the hammock was like swinging.

Although I didn't have much dizziness, but it was really uncomfortable, the fat man lay on the bed with his back and didn't know if he was asleep, during which the old generation brought some dried fish and wine in, but the fat man didn't pay attention to him, and I didn't have the appetite to eat when the boat was rocking.

It was close to one o'clock in the morning, and I saw through the hanging window the lights of another boat, most likely from the customs inspection, and someone had boarded the boat, but it did not come to the cabin, and it was not long before the boat was gone.

I fell asleep in a trance, and I slept very deeply, until I heard a very harsh sound in my dream.

At this time, it was still dark, but the light from the hanging window was brighter. Gone with a dim yellow color, now it was a completely white white light.

When I got up, I found that I hadn't taken off my clothes and shoes, so I fell asleep, and my saliva was dripping, and I forgot whether I had brushed my teeth on the road in the past two days, and I didn't faint when I smelled it.

After a moment of trance, I came to my senses, and it turned out that the ship's whistle had been ringing, and my position should have been directly below the horn, and the sound was deafening.

The fat man slept peacefully, where he didn't move, it didn't look like his temperament, when did this guy get rid of his snoring problem.

The sound still didn't stop, and I was faintly uneasy, the whistle must not be normal. Immediately one rolled over and sat up.

The hammocks on either side were just over a foot wide, and I could reach out to pat the fat man, and as soon as I tapped him on the shoulder, he turned his head to look at me.

I was frightened by his sudden retraction of my hand, and I looked at him for a long time before I said, "You...... You're not asleep. ”

The fat man rolled in the hammock, but because the hammock was not stable, he turned his body completely over several times. Sang a breath: "Shake it like this, it's strange to be able to fall asleep." What the fuck are you doing out there, the big night doesn't stop. ”

I looked out the window, and I saw three or four people huddled there on the side of the boat looking at the dark sea, and the hanging window was round, and it was a little small, so I couldn't see the whole picture outside.

As soon as the fat man opened the white curtain, we found that all the hammocks in the cabin were empty, not a single figure was to be seen, the hammocks were swaying in all directions, and the creaking sound that should have been loud was also muffled by the roar of the whistle.

"Why don't we go out and have a look." I screamed, and because I was so close to the fat man, it didn't take too much for him to hear.

The fat man shook his head and said, "Go," and as soon as he put on his coat, we walked outside.

In the cabin, I could feel that the waves must be very big, and I staggered to the handrails fixed on both sides before I walked outside the cabin, and as soon as I came out, I splashed the sea water and poured it on my face.

This made me more sober, and at the same time, I also tasted the taste of sea water for the first time. Holding on to the iron door of the cabin, he spit out a few mouthfuls before he spit out the seawater in his mouth.

The waves crashed on the deck and flowed down the other side, and within a few moments of coming up, we were both soaking wet.

The fishing boat was beaten by the waves, and the drop was more than a meter, and we could only walk forward by holding on to the metal handrail outside the cabin.

Behind the sailors who were lying on the railing, I shouted, "What are you looking at, what's the matter?" ”

Apparently my voice had been completely drowned out by the noise around me, and it had not been able to reach the ears of several of them at all.

The fat man leaned forward a little before he took a sharp breath and shouted as well. Those people just turned around.

One of them spoke for a long time, but because of the noise and the dialect he spoke, I really couldn't understand what he was trying to say, and after several times I had to give up.

The fat man pointed forward, meaning to continue walking, and I saw an iron staircase not far ahead, and it was the wheelhouse on the third floor, and it seemed that the fat man wanted to go directly to the boss of the ship.

It was difficult to stand on the deck, let alone up the staircase with such a narrow iron frame, and I was in front of me, and the fat man followed me with great difficulty to climb to the top of the staircase.

There were three people in the wheelhouse, the door was closed, the boss of the ship kept the rudder, the sound of the whistle was above the wheelhouse, and we took pictures of the glass for more than a minute, and a few people inside noticed the two of us.

There were only three people in the wheelhouse, Liu Laosi and Lao Dai, as well as the man in a white vest he met when he first boarded the boat.

"What's going on?" The fat man came in and asked directly.

The old man wanted to say hello, but was ignored by the fat man, and he reluctantly took two steps back and let go of the fat man who was about to walk to the bridge.

"There's another ship coming towards us." Liu Laosi's face turned pale and he looked extremely flustered.

The fat man stepped forward and looked at the instruments on the operating table: "It's just one ship, and I can't meet a ship at sea." You look like you've been running a boat for ten years, so you bought it. ”

Liu Laosi didn't care about the ridicule in the fat man's words, and looked sad: "This ship...... This is no ordinary ship. ”

"Customs, not really." The fat man asked.

Liu Laosi sighed: "It's really good if it's the customs." ”

"What kind of ship is that, tell me quickly, can it be a ghost ship."

After the fat man finished speaking, Liu Laosi's face, which was originally only slightly pale, turned completely white after brushing, and immediately there was a miserable cry: "It's a ghost ship." ”

Liu Laosi's body was like a sifting chaff, and I wondered in my heart that I didn't know what he meant by this, and what he meant.

The old generation beckoned us to look at a screen in the driver's seat, a green screen with a cross in the center, and a ring from the center continued to expand, which was a marine radar.

Lao Dai pointed to a golden dot on it and said, "This is our ship." Then he pointed to another red dot not far away and said, "This is an unidentified ship." ”

"Don't you have a maritime phone, contact them." The fat man said after a few glances.

The old generation shook his head and moved out of the way, with a device behind him that looked like a black telephone line. His meaning is obvious, he just wants the fat man to try it himself.

The fat man didn't say a word and approached the maritime phone, and he didn't know why he used this thing, but after seeing that he pressed a few keys on it, he put the headset on his ear and the microphone to his mouth.

"Hey...... Feed...... Hey......"

After feeding a few times in a row, no human voice came from the earphones, and the fat man frowned: "Why is there no signal at all on the other side of the fuck, isn't there any electronic equipment installed on that ship?" ”

"Ships that don't have the required equipment installed, they can't even get out of Dayu Reef, let alone here."

The old generation must have known this for a long time, and they may have used maritime phones to contact them I don't know how many times. In fact, he did not mean that small boats and offshore fishing boats could not reach our current position, but that it was clearly stipulated that fishing boats that did not have some necessary equipment could not go out to sea.

"That's not a big deal, and poaching is nothing new." The fat man buttoned the phone and went to see the scene on the radar again.

Liu Laosi was still nervously paying attention to the direction of the red dot on the radar outside the ship, and I didn't feel that danger was coming, so looking at his uneasy appearance felt a little too exaggerated.

The old generation stepped forward and walked to the radar, and clicked on the dots in his hand, and the two dots on the screen showed a few more data, and the first number on our ship was 11 knots. The red dot shows 30 knots.

"Look." Lao Dai said.

"Is this fucking ship flying at sea, how can it be so fast?" The fat man exclaimed.

I was a little puzzled and asked, "It's only 30 knots, isn't the conversion only more than 50 kilometers away?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the fat man snorted coldly: "You should drive on the road, do you know what the concept of a speed of thirty knots is at sea?" ”

I showed a puzzled expression, it seems that I still spoke a little early, and it is better to talk less in the field I don't know in the future.

Before the fat man could explain, Lao Dai opened his mouth first: "Our fishing boats are generally at a speed of 9 to 12 knots, and 30 knots are cruisers, and fishing boats can't reach them at all." ”

"You mean, this red dot is a cruiser." I asked.

Lao Dai immediately shook his head: "No, if it was a cruiser, we would have received a radio notice a long time ago." Moreover, the radar shows that it is not a cruiser at all. ”

When he said this, I also had a little panic at this time, and I looked at the dark sea in the distance. There was a long silence after that, until a sudden scream from the white vests, which had been monitoring the radar screen, broke the silence only by the sound of a whistle.

"Quick, turn around, the ship is coming." The white vest was startled, but fortunately it was pulled by the old generation, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

I hurried up to look at it, and saw that the two dots on the radar were almost close together, and the distance on them showed that they were less than three nautical miles, which meant that in five minutes, the ship would crash into our ship solidly.

The fat man looked at the radar screen and scolded: "This idiot, is the person who drove the boat crazy?" ”

Liu Laosi, who had been silent, suddenly screamed miserably: "I told you, it's a ghost ship." ”
