acT206: The prediction of the Perfect Storm (Part I) Dai Wei has finally come true. Before evening, the sky had already changed color, and the blue of the day seemed to be overshadowed, and the hue gradually became heavier, revealing a gloomy feeling from the inside out.

Song Jiu stood at the bow of the boat and watched, and at this moment he could clearly understand some of the signs that Dai Wei had said, such as the wind.

In the morning, when I poked my hand out of the side of the ship, I could still feel the slight sea breeze, but now, the air seemed to be completely still, except for the increasingly hot and humid temperature, revealing an unusual smell everywhere.

The crew was already in place, Jimbo took some people to the bottom floor, responsible for guarding the ship's generator set, and the rest gathered in the cabin hall, and the limited life jackets were distributed, which should be inflated and inflated, and should be worn, and they did not dare to be sloppy.

For a full four hours, Cao Zheng was completely out of the box, and the luxury yacht used for leisure and play was regarded by him as a racing boat, with the highest speed, taking advantage of the calm and calm at that time, he was moving forward at full speed, which was really a race against time.

It's a pity that I didn't run. Song Jiu glanced at his watch, just after six o'clock, if it was on land, the sky was still bright at this time, basically until about eight o'clock, the sky would gradually darken, from day to night.

And now, the sky is overcast to the extreme, and the thick clouds are still stacking, as if the sky is also faintly accumulating, waiting for the last moment to deal a fatal blow to the ant on the sea.

"Look over there." Qianqian walked out of the smoky cockpit, moved his steps to stand beside Song Jiu, raised his hand and pointed to the sky in the northwest direction, and said, "That cloud, do you see it?" Song Jiu looked at the sound, he didn't understand the meaning of shallow, he knew that shallow could analyze some clues from the cloud situation, but he couldn't find anything unusual, left and right looked at lead-colored clouds.

"That long, doesn't look like a tail?" After brushing her hair, she patiently explained, "We call this the dragon's tail cloud." ”

"Does it have any special meaning?" Song Jiu squinted for a long time, and finally found a similar cloud in the cloudy sky, rolled his eyes, and wondered: "Is it a good sign?" What does auspicious and peaceful mean? ”

"It's the opposite." With a shallow bitter smile, he sighed faintly: "It means that the weather is extremely unstable, and thunderstorms and strong winds may occur at any time." As soon as the words fell, a dull rolling thunder quietly exploded.

"......" Song Jiu was dumbfounded, raised his head in a daze, the sky was still gloomy, there was no lightning, and he couldn't tell which direction the thunder was.

"Crow's beak." Shallow whispered to herself, her hands clasped around the ship's side fence, and murmured, "Come on, go back to the cabin." ”

"What about you?" Song Jiu looked back at the wheelhouse located in the middle floor, the cabin was below, theoretically speaking, as long as the ship did not sink and the bottom of the ship was not hit hard, their safety was barely guaranteed, but the wheelhouse was located on the deck, if there was a big wave coming, in addition to the bow deck, the wheelhouse was the most dangerous.

"We'll do our best to get you through the storm safely." smiled lightly and indifferently, there was a quiet little femininity between her eyebrows and eyes, although she was petite and looked weak, but a simple sentence made Song Jiu feel a great sense of security.

"Be careful, no matter what, let's all move forward and retreat together." Song Jiu knew that he couldn't help much, and the power of his words was very weak, but this was the only thing he could do at the moment.

Luxury yachts are supposed to be equipped with lifeboats, but this ship does not have one, and when they set off, they did not expect the storm, the new yacht, and the excitement caused them to miss many details.

But then again, even if there is a lifeboat, it is useless, the yacht may not be able to keep it in strong winds and waves, and a small sampan can be shot into slag with a single wave.

The ropes on the deck are vertical and horizontal, the fixed ones are basically tied firmly, the cockpit is open, the thick smoke is wafting from it, Cao Zheng's waist is straight, his face is serious, and his lips are a little pale.

"How?" Cao Zheng looked ahead, held the rudder steadily, heard Dai Wei beside him sigh lowly, turned his head and asked.

"Not to mention the islands, you can't see a single reef." Dai Wei put down the binoculars hatefully, took out a bottle of wine with a foreign code printed on it from the locker, unscrewed the cap and closed it, and casually put it into the utility bucket next to the operating table.

Cao Zheng glanced at him, licked his lips, and said with a wry smile: "The Zhuangxing wine has been taken out." Dai Wei grinned and quipped, "Sacrifice to the Dragon King." ”

"Be careful that the dragon lord can't get used to your foreign wine, he was just complaining, and then he was annoyed by you." Cao Zheng made a joke along the way, the two men looked at each other and smiled, and the solemn atmosphere seemed to loosen a lot.

"That's right." Dai Wei suddenly remembered something, and moved to the other side of the hatch, opening the metal box fixed to the wall.

Cao Zheng looked back, shrugged his shoulders without knowing what to say, and said, "Is it necessary?" ”

"Be prepared." Dai Wei ignored him, reached in and plugged in the radio signal line, picked up the pager and 'heyed' twice, recalled the safety regulations for ocean boats, twisted the knob to adjust the frequency band, and muttered: "Hope is always there, in case it comes true." ”…… Song Jiu returned to the cabin and stayed for a while, wanting to relax and sleep, but he was restless for no reason, and even a little restless.

There is no wind and rain outside the porthole for the time being, and although there is only a gloomy canopy, it has caused more psychological pressure for no reason.

This scene is easily associated with two common sayings, what is the tranquility before the storm, or the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, in short, there is no good word, the more I think about it, the more panicked.

"I can't." Song Jiu muttered to himself, the hand with the severed finger had almost healed, and the wound had grown tender flesh, pink and tender, and the rest of the rough hand were completely two colors, bare, without texture, except for a small bulge in the knuckle bone, which looked very strange.

Song Jiu pressed the broken finger with his fingertips, faintly, it seemed that there was still some pain, and it felt very strange to be able to feel the bones through the skin.

After tinkering with the wound for a while, Song Jiu smiled dumbly, sitting alone on the bed and giggling, saying that people would make inexplicable actions under extreme panic, looking at the severed finger in a daze, Song Jiu couldn't help but be a little distracted...... It turned out that he was so afraid of death, and he thought that he had already tempered his iron heart, but he never thought that when facing the crisis that he was unable to resist, the cowardice hidden in his bones was still exposed.

Someone knocked lightly outside the cabin door, Song Jiu got up and opened the door, Luo Yu stood outside, carrying an orange life jacket, with a faint worried look in his eyes, and said softly: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay." Song Jiu took a deep breath, made a light appearance, and spread his hands: "What about you? ”

"Just like you." Luo Yu gave him a blank look, the dead duck's mouth was hard, his face was pale, and he was still strong.

"Come in." Song Jiu was a little embarrassed, opened the door and let Luo Yu into the cabin, turned around and walked back to the porthole, looked at the darkening clouds, and asked, "Where is Lao Wu?" ”

"Smoking outside." Luo Yu sat on the edge of the soft bed, the life jacket was placed on the round table, Song Jiu didn't speak, she didn't speak, the two of them were in the same room, their eyes were exploring the clouds, and the frequency of breathing seemed to maintain a tacit agreement.

After a long time, Song Jiu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a deep voice, "It'll be fine." ”

"Hmm." Luo Yu nodded in agreement. …… The first person to notice the abnormality was Dai Wei. The sound of radio electricity suddenly sounded in the cabin hall, the signal was not very stable, and there was a burst of sizzling, and Dai Wei's slightly nervous voice came out.

"When the wind blows, don't go on deck, don't leave the cabin, find a place to stabilize yourself, and stay away from fragile items." The crew looked at each other, no need to ask, the time to come is still coming.

Song Jiu and Luo Yu walked into the hall one after another, their eyes swept over their pale faces, smiled miserably, and said, "Don't panic, hold steady." Before the words fell, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and the crew members who were sitting or standing staggered in unison, staggering a few steps in surprise, and their dazed minds finally gradually regained their clarity.

Dai Wei's voice was still lingering in his ears, and there was no need to remind him, the crowd who were sitting in a daze hurriedly got up and dispersed, each looking for a place that could stabilize their bodies, one by one with a suspicious look, looking at Song Jiu, and then at Wu Wentao, looking at each other speechlessly, only smiling bitterly.

'Tom! With a muffled sound, the hull shook again, with a slight tilt, the bow side was raised, and the potted plant placed next to the central staircase trembled, and then slowly and leisurely slid down the inclined deck.

It was only at this point that the group gradually came to their senses, and before the storm, most of them were still thinking about how to deal with it, but now it was just 'the wind', and the appetizers were so unusual, and all the solutions they had in their minds were undoubtedly empty talk.

"Warning, again, steady your body, stay away from fragile items, and don't go on deck!" The radio sounded again, Dai Wei's voice was much higher, and he could vaguely hear the sound of the waves beating outside, this time it was not a warning, the storm was really coming.

The cabin was unexpectedly silent, there was no expected screaming and exclamation, everyone seemed to be frightened, and it seemed that they were suppressing the emotions that were about to explode, men and women, new and old, all trying to maintain the balance of their bodies, and no one spoke, as if a mouth would let out the strength that it was difficult to maintain.

Wu Wentao staggered to his feet, leaned against the wall, bypassed the leather sofa that had been shifted, grappled to the handrail of the central staircase, and turned back: "Go back to the cabin." Everyone nodded, at first they were still thinking that everyone was getting together and had a bottom in their hearts, but now it seems that it is not good, there are too many people to have eggs, they can only stare at each other wide-eyed, watching each other become gourds all over the ground.

These few sways were a bit severe, and the violent sound of the waves could already be heard in the cabin, and the whole hall was a mess with the tilt just now.

"Let's all go back to the cabin and go together!" Song Jiu snorted, Chef Niangjia had already pulled Hui Hui and stumbled towards the stairs, Dr. Zhong and Yu An followed behind with the acne girl, and the rest of the people didn't care who was who at this time, they grabbed which one was closer, maintained a funny posture, and walked towards the stairs like walking on thin ice.

"Jimbo, what are they going to do?" Song Yao leaned against the bar counter to maintain her balance, her face was gloomy, and she said loudly: "They are underneath!" ”

"You go back to the cabin first, and I'll go and see." Halfway through Song Jiu's words, there was a heavy and muffled sound in his ears, and the hull of the ship danced again, this time with its head down, and the stern of the ship was cocked, and everyone was carefully overturned to the ground, screaming and rolling to the other side...... It just so happened that I had to tremble and grab the stairs and throw them all over.

Song Jiu stood up with a roll, leaned against the landscape wall, kicked away the tables, chairs and benches that Gulu rolled down, helped break up the crowd stacked in a pile, and escorted the chef Jia and a few people to climb up first.

Song Yao and Lu Qian were left behind, and all the food and drink supplies were stored in the hall, and the two girls were also big-hearted, and they still had time to worry about this.

"Go back! Leave it alone! "The wind and waves are getting louder, and the dull impact sound is becoming more and more frequent, and I don't know what to do outside the cabin for the time being, and I can only judge the situation outside by the position of the impact sound.

The tilt gradually weakened, the hull of the ship stabilized, the crowd took the opportunity to speed up the pace, a nest of quails turned into birds and beasts scattered, and the previous tension and solemnity were also dispersed by the hustle and bustle, and no one thought about how to live and die at this time, and returned to the cabin to stabilize!

That's the number one priority!! Song Jiu swept around, Jiao Ziqian had already withdrawn with Ying Doudou, and the rest of the men and women had already teamed up to team up, and they had already run to the stairs and rushed to the cabin in a panic and order.

Song Jiu quickly found Luo Yu in the crowd, and hurriedly ran over to help her up, Luo Yu was standing up with the bar, looked back at him, didn't say much, and tried to keep steady and climbed the stairs.

The vanguard had already passed through the corridor of the cabin, pushed open the door and rolled in, and the rest floor was close to the deck, and the fierce and rapid sea breeze could already be felt.

Song Jiu was the last to climb up, grabbed Luo Yu's hand, and said hurriedly: "Follow me." Luo Yu looked stunned, and did not keep up with Song Jiu's footsteps, but withdrew his hand from Song Jiu's palm.

Song Jiu grabbed the air, but when he turned around, he saw Luo Yu retreating towards the corridor on the other side.

"I'm with Xiaomeng, don't worry, you go to the stern, Natalia is alone." Luo Yu spoke quickly, and after speaking, he turned around and ran away, picked up Yang Xiaomeng, who was staggering and drunk in the corridor, kicked open a cabin and flashed in.

Song Jiu was stunned for a long time, staring at Yu Wen's palm, and ...... in a trance Look blank.
