Lightning tore through the thick, thick clouds, thunder rolled through the low clouds, and the torrential rain fell down, and the hot air balloons seemed to weave through the clouds and lightning.

"Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, Almighty Allah bless, Jesus bless......" The fat man said something in his mouth while bowing to the four directions.

"You're not afraid of the gods fighting." I yelled at the fat man in the wind.

Not far away, the dark clouds in the sky were rapid, and the speed visible to the naked eye quickly condensed into a funnel-shaped, and Duanmu Qiankite roared: "Not good, hurricane." ”

"What?" The fat man didn't hear.

"Dragon-suck-water" Duanmu Qianyu put his hand to his mouth to form a trumpet.

As he spoke, the strong wind under the thunderclouds formed a huge whirlpool, and the air formed an axis that the naked eye could handle, and it spun rapidly until it reached the surface of the sea, and in an instant, a "dragon" composed of seawater devoured everything around it.

jet-black clouds;

the vast sea;

dazzling lightning;

earth-shattering thunder;

The storm accelerated the growth of the "dragon", and the area became larger and larger, sometimes splitting into a slightly smaller "water-absorbing dragon". ”

We clearly felt the hot air balloon falling, bobbing uncontrollably in the wind and rain......

"Damn, we're going to fall to death." The fat man clung to the rope on the hanging basket.

"Throw the ballast away." Duanmu Qian Kite roared, her voice slightly hoarse, she was still trying to control the crumbling hot air balloon.

On the surface of the sea, the huge waves of the mountains and seas, with a deafening roar, made me tremble at this moment, human beings are so small and vulnerable under the power of nature.

I felt that my internal organs were being turned upside down, my stomach was churning, "wow" began to vomit, and the air was filled with a turbid smell......

The load had all been thrown away, and the balloon began to float higher into the air after its weight was reduced, and we had to let the balloon float and drift in the air in the roaring storm. It was dark all around, and after the occasional lightning flash, we still couldn't find any references, and there was no reflection on the surface of the sea.

In the wind, the hot air balloon drifts rapidly, sometimes in a jumbled circle.

The simple instrument panel showed an altitude of 3,000 feet (1 foot = 0.3048 meters), and after approaching the altitude of a kilometer, the balloon stabilized a little, and we were slightly relieved, sitting in the gondola and gasping for air.

In the east, there was a glimmer of light, and the whiteness of the fish maw gradually became clear......

We were hovering and drifting in the air for a night, losing our direction, and we cannot now estimate how far we have traveled, and because of the northwesterly wind, we can only preliminarily judge that we are drifting in a southeasterly direction.

The scene of stormy waves, lightning and thunder, and the sight of ten thousand dragons going out to sea has weakened a lot, and the fear, unease, and apprehension in the dark night have gradually subsided because of the light, and the hurricane has obviously begun to weaken compared to last night, and now it can only be regarded as a strong wind at most, and the speed of atmospheric flow has slowed down by half.

I picked up the binoculars and looked around, but there was an endless sea.

"I now understand the reason why the Xu family disappeared suddenly, just like this, the unpredictable sea, it is a miracle that it does not disappear." I pulled off my mask and let my skin feel the wind blowing.

Wet, sticky, with a salty taste.

The sky is getting clearer, the sun is shining through the clouds, and the colors are refreshing.

Just as we were about to enjoy the strange scenery, the hot air balloon began to descend into the lower space, the round balloon became oval, and something terrible happened, it was leaking.

A wave of despair rose in my heart, as if I was in a hopeless situation......

There is no land, and the endless sea below you is rough.

The hot air balloon began to fall rapidly, and judging by the position of the sun, we drifted southwest with the wind.

"Throw away everything you can." Duanmu Qiankite roared, his voice completely hoarse.

We went through every effort to stop the speed of the fall, and the gauge inside the gondola showed 1200 feet......

"The speed of the fall is still a bit fast." Duanmu Qianyu's hoarse voice revealed a little anxiety.

800 feet......

600 feet......

The fat man suddenly pulled me, and said with a very serious face: "If the speed of the fall is too fast, I will jump down, remember, let your sister-in-law find a good family to marry, don't worry about me." ”

I pushed his hand away and said, "Damn, you should keep this kind of thing for yourself." ”

There's a small crack in the balloon, and the hydrogen is leaking out at a rapid pace, and the crack is getting bigger and bigger, and if the balloon goes down, then we are in free fall, and we shudder to think about what it will look like.

At 1 p.m., it was less than 400 feet above the sea......

"Duanmu, if we cut the hanging basket, will the balloon delay the fall?" I asked.

Duanmu Qiankite looked at me and said, "Theoretically, it will." ”

"Then we'll cut the basket and we'll tie the rope to our body." I said that maybe this was the only way to reduce weight, and the weight of this basket was probably heavier than all three of us.

At 200 feet, you can already clearly see the sea, the blue sea..... We cut off the gondola to slow down the descent, and the moment the gondola fell, the hot air balloon actually rose slowly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the hot air balloon climbs to about 500 feet, and then, drifts smoothly.

With a gentle breeze and a blue sea below, we were suspended in the air, hoping only for God to manifest our spirits.

"European ...... Ou "There was a clear, sharp, and crisp cry in his ears, and white seagulls swept past him, streaking across long white shadows.

Duanmu Qiankite raised the binoculars and looked around, while shouting in a hoarse voice: "Where there are seagulls, there is land." ”

"Over there....... Over there. Duanmu Qiankite put down the telescope and was extremely excited, and roared loudly: "Land." ”

There is a land in the southeast, which seems small and abrupt in the blue sea, but it is such a small place that has become the hope of our life.

If we don't change direction at the current speed and the speed of the fall, it will take about an hour to reach the edge of the land, and I look up at the balloon and hope it will support the edge of the land.

At an altitude of 150 feet, the land is no longer blurred, and it clearly appears in our eyes.

Excitement, excitement, not because of the resurrection of the dead, but after the hope of life appears, you can fulfill your dreams, or hope rises in your heart......

100 feet......

At this time, the balloon seemed to run out of strength and became loose and wrinkled......

"When I jump, you jump along." Duanmu Qiankite shouted desperately.

50 ft......

The sound of huge waves crashing on the shore came to my ears.

30 ft......

15 ft......

10 ft......

Duanmu Qiankite let go of his hand and landed freely into the sea......

The hot air balloon, which has no gravity, slowly begins to rise again......

The moment the "plop" fell into the arms of the sea, the hurricane had come to an end for us, and the cold winter water soaked through the clothes, and the biting cold penetrated the skin, blood, and bone marrow.

The blood, as if it is going to be clotted soon, will soon stiffen the human body.

At this time, we can only swim towards the land not far away......
