132. Boat disembarkation (thanks to @州州岚岚's diamond)
"Ridiculous!" Sheng Shiyao reprimanded, "No matter how fast the ship goes, it can't hit as fast as the storm, can you arrive in a short time?" Can you determine the area range of the storm? You can't, your decision is to block the lives of the whole ship. ”
"So what do you say?" Zhuang Yu asked darkly.
Sheng Shiyao walked to the navigation map, squinted at it, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately detect the nearest island, and all the personnel go ashore." Zhuang Yu asked suspiciously: "Is this necessary?" Maybe it's just that we're worrying about it. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but interject: "Whether it is unfounded or not, it is necessary to take precautions." There is no 'what if' for many things. "I've never experienced a storm at sea, but I've seen a lot of tsunami documentaries, and the scene is not described as horror, but as devastating. The waves rushed into the sky, destroying everywhere they went, and even the largest ships became the smallest.
Zhuang Yu finally ordered the captain to monitor the nearest island as soon as possible and sail at full speed there. After an hour, the results of the monitoring were available, but the situation was not encouraging, and the nearest island was far away from us, and it would take at least two days. There can be no further delay, and all the crew on board must be mentally prepared and prepared within two days.
Next, the whole ship began to get busy, and Jian Ningyi and I were responsible for distributing life jackets, making sure to send them to everyone. Although the clouds in the sky are still beautiful, everyone has lost the interest in admiring and sighing, let alone taking pictures.
The worst part was at night, when the speed of navigation was slow, and sometimes when the wind and waves were stronger, the boat would be stopped to rest. Because the line of sight is blocked at night, no matter how good the navigator is, there are times when it can't be monitored, and it is most likely to hit the rocks. Accidents involving the sinking of large cruise ships have been reported repeatedly, so Zhuang Yu is especially cautious when sailing at night. But this is obviously not possible at this time, in order to reach the isolated island as soon as possible, it is necessary to sail at full speed at night, and the atmosphere in the captain's room is very tense, because there is no room for half a point difference.
I was alone in the cabin at night, Sheng Shiyao and Zhuang Yu were still closely watching the trend of the storm, and this incident, the two finally reached an agreement, but fortunately, the first night was peaceful. But God is obviously pale, and it is no longer the spectacle of yesterday, which has been gloomy since the morning, and the clouds are getting thicker and thicker.
But there was still no wind, and the sea level was calm like a still blue water mirror. When the next day was safe and sound, I breathed a sigh of relief, and Sheng Shiyao said that it would take only another seven or eight hours to reach the nearest island. But the more I want to avoid many things, the more I can't escape, just in the middle of the night, suddenly the hull of the ship shook, I was already sleeping lightly opened my eyes, only to see a flash in front of me, there was no Sheng Shiyao beside him, and the hatch had been removed by him.
I didn't even think about pulling on my coat and putting it on, so I chased after it, and ran all the way to the captain's room, only to find that the staff inside were all in a mess, and they were asking what was going on, as if it had exploded. Sheng Shiyao stood in front of the nautical instrument, staring with heavy eyes, I don't understand the instrument, but I can also see that the instrument seems to be slowly stopping, not only that, but our ship seems to have stopped.
As soon as Zhuang Yu came in, Sheng Shiyao said to him in a deep voice: "Immediately arrange for someone to go into the water to investigate." ”
The captain wiped his sweat and said nervously: "There is no reef on the instrument to detect here, how can it be stuck?" The sound just now was very much like hitting a rock. ”
At this moment, suddenly a strong light flashed in the sky, and it went straight into the sea level, and everyone's faces turned pale, and the storm that had been brewing for two days and one night finally came......
From the first flash of lightning, but in a matter of moments, the wind began to blow on the sea, and we stood on the deck for a long time without seeing the crew come up. Another group of crew members went into the water, but half an hour passed, the wind and waves increased more and more, but no one came up, and suddenly everyone looked at each other, what did they touch under the boat, so that they disappeared after entering the water?
At this time, Yang Wenhao came over and said to Zhuang Yu: "Why don't I go down and have a look." "In fact, everyone knows that it is very dangerous to go to sea when the wind and waves have risen, but when the time comes, there is always someone who wants to find out why the ship stops.
Zhuang Yu nodded calmly, and saw that Yang Wenhao immediately put on a diving suit, and suddenly Zhou Tong walked in front of the person, "Brother Yao, I will go down too." I suddenly shouted: "Zhou Tong, you ......" Yang Wenhao is understandable to go into the water, the boat is from Zhuang Yu's side, and he, as a deputy, should be launched, but why should Zhou Tong go down with him?
But seeing Sheng Shiyao frowning slightly, he nodded, and only ordered: "Be careful." So I could only watch Zhou Tong also put on a diving suit and stand beside Yang Wenhao, and when he was ready, he only heard Zhou Tong smile and said, "Let's compare who comes up first today." Then two "poofs" jumped into the sea.
Suddenly, I think Zhou Tong actually regards Yang Wenhao as a friend, although the positions are different and the angles are different, it seems that they all understand the truth of "each for his master", and the friendship of men is really difficult to understand.
Waiting, because there is someone who cares, it becomes tormented. Several times I approached the edge of the deck to look out into the sea, but all I saw was the dark waters rolling in the waves, and I never saw them come up. I couldn't help it anymore, ran back to Sheng Shiyao's side, and said anxiously, "What should I do?" I've been there for so long and haven't come up, will it be okay? ”
Even the sixth son couldn't hold his breath, and asked directly: "Brother Yao, let me go down to find Lao Zhou." ”
Sheng Shiyao's eyebrows were furrowed, his face was gloomy, he didn't pay attention to the sixth son, but turned his head to look at Zhuang Yu, "What do you think?" He was about to say something when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Come up!" "Everyone rushed forward, only to see a person very hard to pull the reins, was hung up from the water by everyone, although the color of the wetsuit is black, but looking at this figure, I immediately knew that it was Zhou Tong.
Compared with Yang Wenhao, he is slightly fatter and burly. After him, but no one went ashore, Sheng Shiyao took a step forward, helped him to remove the oxygen cylinder, and asked, "What happened down there?" ”
Zhou Tong took off the respirator, gasped and said: "It's not a reef at all, it's a boat, there is a special external force that trapped them all on the boat, it was Yang Wenhao who kicked me, and I finally got out of the trap." ”
"What kind of ship is it? What happened to the others? Zhuang Yu asked silently beside him.
"The ship is very large, it must have sunk for many years, and the corrosion is very serious, but it is completely and squarely sunk at the bottom of the sea, and it is the top of the ship that traps our ship, forcing it to no longer sail."
This phenomenon is very strange, the general sinking of the ship must also be due to a storm or the bottom of the ship leaks, and when it sinks to the bottom of the sea, it must be turned over or even turned over, how can it still be corrected?
Zhou Tong exhaled a few times and then said: "I can't be sure about the situation of the others, before I came up, except for Yang Wenhao, the rest of the people had obvious fainting symptoms. ”
"Xiaoxiao, you hold him." Sheng Shiyao gave me an order, and after I took over, he got up and stood in front of the deck and froze for a moment at the surging waves, when it had begun to rain, and the wind was much stronger than before, and thunder and lightning were thundering and lightning in the distance.
Zhuang Yu walked over and asked indifferently, "Yao, do you have the courage to go into the water with me?" ”
I was shocked in my heart, and I intuitively went to see Sheng Shiyao, but I saw that his eyes did not move, and he replied expressionlessly: "You don't need to use the agitation method, there are still more than two hundred meters away from the island here, and when you go into the water, remember, our first task is to remove the obstacles that block the progress of the boat." You have people ready with cutting tools, which may be used. In addition, the upper authorities immediately arranged to check the bilge for water. ”
Ten minutes later, the two of them were ready to go, and I knew it was dangerous, but I couldn't say anything to ask him not to go. Because this is related to the lives of the whole ship, as well as the lives of the crew members who were launched before and Yang Wenhao and others. Jian Ningyi was the same as me, his brows were furrowed, but he only stood on the periphery and looked at Zhuang Yu tightly, before they put on their wetsuits and put on breathing apparatus before they went into the water, the two of them looked back respectively, and the eyes behind the diving goggles were looking at me.
This time they did not jump directly, but tied the reins around their waists, and went down little by little, silently diving to the bottom. The reins were prepared long enough that they were pulled down in circles to represent how deep they had dived. I came up with this method, at least to let the people on the shore know their movements, otherwise if they never return, and they don't know what is going on under the sea, the people on board will go crazy.
But seeing that the number of turns of the reins was getting smaller and fewer, they became more and more worried, there was no doubt that they had gone to the bottom of the sea, and they must have entered the range of the ship, mainly because of how big the ship was, so that most of the reins were still being dragged into the water by them. The captain had ordered the crew to bring all the reins of the ship over with the intention of attaching them at the end, but at this point, the reins did not move. I thought they were staying for a while, but they waited for a while and there was no movement.
Something crossed my mind, and I stood up and shouted, "Pull the rope and see." Several crew members immediately went to drag the reins, and found that they only felt a little heavy at the beginning, and the back was very smooth, so I hurriedly shouted: "Don't pull it!" "The face was pale, and it was clear that they had untied the reins, and what had to be untied had happened? Or was the reins cut by some sharp weapon?
I hope that the pulling of the reins just now didn't hurt them, and comforted myself that Sheng Shiyao was so powerful, and there was also a Zhuang Yu, their action this time could be regarded as a combination of two swords, if even they couldn't solve it, then no one could. But this consolation ended as the minutes and seconds passed, and the storm had swept in, and the cold raindrops felt pain on their bodies, and everyone was drenched in soup, and the ship was swayed by the wind, and the captain could only do what he could, laying down the iron in the bow and stern of the ship, and trying to stabilize the ship.
Gritting his teeth, he rushed to the captain's side and asked for a set of diving equipment for me. The captain was stunned, and Zhou Tong grabbed me from behind, because the sound of the rainstorm was too loud, so he could only shout loudly: "Little sister, you are crazy!" You've never been in the water, your body can't withstand the pressure, and diving isn't as simple as you think. ”
My heart sank, Sheng Shiyao had popularized this knowledge to me before, and he was preparing to go to Fuxian Lake in the future. At that time, I was planning to learn this dive after returning to shore.
