More and more people were caught on the deck, rows tied to railings, as the ship swayed up and down, and behind them was the pitch-black sea, the waves crashing against the hull.

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt swept across the illuminated sea in the sky, and in an instant it disappeared and became invisible.

At this moment, everyone saw the tide rising high on the sea, undulating like a mountain.

The sea showed its violent side at this moment, and the storm was close at hand.

Many people's faces showed frightened expressions, and they subconsciously retreated, and the people who were tied up screamed loudly in fright, and the mournful voices were particularly clear on the empty deck.

Yu Chengwan looked at the dark night sky, and his feet were a little weak.

"The storm is really coming, do we have a lifeboat?" Yu Chengwan asked.

Su Marie didn't seem to care about this question, her eyes were still looking at the sea, and her brow was furrowed.

"Hahaha, they all have to die, they all have to die, hahaha......" Chen Yaodong laughed proudly.

"Are you different?" Yu Chengwan went up and gave Chen Yaodong a slap.

"It's the same, but you all have to bury Lao Tzu, I tell you, this ship has no power, no anchor, and can't turn, whether it hits the reef or runs aground, you have to die, none of you can run, do you really think that someone will come to save you? Don't be naïve. ”

Chen Yaodong's words made the already tense atmosphere even more anxious, what he said everyone understands, and what everyone is most afraid of.

Now that the storm is coming, everyone has nothing, and if something happens, there is really only a dead end.

"As long as the sea god's anger is appeased, nothing will happen to us!" Su Marie turned around and said loudly: "All this is the heavenly punishment of the sea god, it is our killing greed that has angered the sea god, this is his punishment for us, I will perform the most pious ceremony to worship the sea god and repent of our sins, now please call everyone out." ”

As soon as Su Marie opened her mouth to believe in her, the uncles and aunts immediately became excited, and they went back to shout, but Yu Cheng was indifferent, he didn't believe in any bullshit at all, and the reason why he stood with Su Marie was purely to use her to get rid of Chen Yaodong and these people.

He thought that Su Marie would be able to come up with some constructive solution, but he didn't expect her to come up with such a nonsense idea as a sacrifice.

What's the difference between going on like this and waiting to die?

Yu Chengwan retreated quietly, he thought of Zhou Shucheng, Zhou Shucheng has been floating on the sea all his life, and I believe that he should have a way to deal with it.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Chaoyang quickly went down to the engine room, the engine room was quiet without any sound, and there was a strong smell of diesel fuel in the air. All meters are at a standstill.

Li Chaoyang turned on the flashlight and walked back and forth to find the maintenance room.

The maintenance room was a mess, with a small table propped up on the floor, and beer bottles and gnawed bones all over the floor.

There was a design drawing on the desk, and there was a chief engineer's log book on the side, Li Chaoyang flipped through it and was stunned, and there was not a word on the book.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind Li Chaoyang, and he quickly turned off the flashlight and shrank under the table.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a flashlight shone in, Li Chaoyang slowly pulled out the dagger, he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.

A dark shadow walked into the maintenance room, and surprisingly this person was actually Zhou Shucheng, who walked to the front of the tool rack with his head down, as if he was looking for something.

Li Chaoyang thought of one thing, Zhou Shucheng had been busy in the engine room during this time, and I believe that no one knew the current situation better than him.

Thinking of this, Li Chaoyang quickly got up and closed the hatch.

Zhou Shucheng quickly turned around, and the flashlight fell on Li Chaoyang's face, and he was stunned and put down the flashlight.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Shucheng saw the dagger in Li Chaoyang's hand and took a step back vigilantly.

"I want to ask you that question too." Li Chaoyang put away the dagger.

"The storm is coming, I'll check the bottom bin to see if there's any condition."

"What's going on? Not writing a word in the captain's log can be said to be a dereliction of duty, but what about the chief engineer's log? Why didn't you write it either? Li Chaoyang shook the log and said.

Zhou Shucheng exhaled and said: "I am also very confused about this problem, the chief engineer's log is a legal log, what is wrong with the ship, when it will be repaired, and how the maintenance progress must be recorded in detail, this is like a doctor's case, as long as you look at the log, you will know the ship's engine status, which must be written, and it will be provided to the maritime department for inspection at any time, and you will know that a problem is illustrated without a word." ”

"What?"

"They didn't take it seriously at all, and even said they thought about going back."

"You're saying they abandoned us on purpose? Why, what good is it for them to deliberately cause a shipwreck? Li Chaoyang was a little unconvinced.

"Yes, I don't understand, I've never seen anything like this in most of my life, I don't believe that the captain and chief engineer of a cruise ship will be too lazy to write a log, and these people are also very amateurish, I have checked the condition of the engine in detail, the degree of aging is much more serious than we thought, the pipes are full of oil stains, no maintenance has been carried out, some places the screws are loose, you open the drawer to see."

Li Chaoyang opened the drawer, and in the drawer were several sets of playing cards that had been opened, as well as two bottles of beer.

"See? These people not only do nothing but also play cards and drink in the engine room, the engine room is a heavy place, ordinary people are not allowed to come in, drinking is never allowed, the loose management of this ship is surprising, this is a group of unprofessional crew, from top to bottom are messy, I can hardly imagine that a cruise ship will hire such a crew and captain, it is no exaggeration to say that the ship may not be able to sail to its destination even if it does not encounter a storm, there is a risk of stalling and running aground at any time, and they even want to blow up the cruise ship. ”

"Blow up the cruise ship?" Li Chaoyang thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, you come with me."

The two of them went out together, walked through the narrow passage to the deepest part of the cruise ship, and met the ship's engine crew.

Zhou Shucheng pulled out a cardboard box from the corner, the carton had some foreign languages written on it, and the contents of the carton startled Li Chaoyang, it was actually a huge time bomb.

"These bombs were originally placed under the engine, but I don't know why they didn't detonate, and they didn't even open the safety."

Li Chaoyang carefully picked up the bomb, this bomb is very exquisitely made, it is triggered and controlled by a switch, and the timing time can also be selected, and the back of the bomb is also painted with army green, which should be a military standard plastic bomb, and the power is quite amazing.

"If it detonates under the engine, will it have a knock-on effect?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"Of course, an engine explosion can easily penetrate the bottom of the ship and destroy the entire power system, the cruise ship will enter the water and capsize, and it is a matter of time before the ship sinks......" Zhou Shucheng suddenly found that something was wrong with Li Chaoyang, he held the bomb as if he had found a treasure, and a greedy smile appeared on his face.

Zhou Shucheng panicked.

"You...... What are you doing here? Zhou Shucheng hurriedly asked.

"No, I just want to borrow this bomb." Li Chaoyang smiled even more proudly.

Zhou Shucheng suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly said, "You...... You're going to blow up the ship! ”

"That's right, but it can't be said to be a bombing ship, but looking for a way to save your life, Chen Yaodong has been controlled by Su Marie and them, and now a big purge is underway, all the people who support Chen Yaodong are going to be arrested, you and I are probably not spared, if they want to kill us, what will you do?" Li Chaoyang said.

"So you are going to perish together? You're crazy, you're going to kill everyone. Zhou Shucheng roared in a low voice.

"I'm going to die, and I care about the others?"

The corners of Li Chaoyang's mouth showed a disdainful smile, he thought about it all night last night, and finally thought of a way to turn the tables.

Everyone on this ship has a common weakness, and that is the boat!

Once the ship is gone, everyone will die, and no matter who it is, everyone will have to compromise.

Originally, Li Chaoyang came to look for diesel, but he didn't expect that there was such a treasure as a time bomb on this ship.

"You can't do that, everyone else is innocent......"

"Say no more!" Zhou Shucheng also wanted to dissuade him, but was rudely interrupted by Li Chaoyang.

He took a deep breath and said, "Old man, you just answer my question, if they want to kill you, will you surrender obediently?" ”

"Of course not, but you're taking too much risk, aren't you? There's no need, it's not as bad as you think. ”

While the two men were arguing, there was a loud sound of footsteps on the stairs, and several lights shone in.
