Chapter 62: The Sea of Ice Floes

The next day, while they were still asleep, they were awakened by the sound of the wind in their sleep. When they woke up, they saw that there was already a strong wind outside. Luckily, the wind blows from the interior of the glacier to the sea. They kept an eye on the observation post, fearing that the high winds would not be able to shake it. The wind gradually grew stronger, and the observation post, which had knocked out the ice mounds, finally began to shake. The observation station was shaking, slowly being pulled. When the observatory was pulled, the two excitedly raised their hands and cheered. The observation post is slowly pulled up the slope. As soon as you enter the ramp, the observation post gradually accelerates downward. Suddenly there was a "bump", and the drifting boat was also twitched. But at this moment, the feet of the observation station could not bear it, and this sudden convulsion. One by one, the legs snapped, and the observation post fell down the ramp. Heungwoo and Mia looked nervously at the observatory, worried that it would stop. Thankfully, the observation post with broken legs continued to slide down, and the driftboat slid down the ramp. After the observation station washed into the sea, it sprayed water and stirred up a wave that hit the ice floe in front of it. Soon, the drifting ship also washed into the sea and slammed into the observation post. Mia screamed in fright, and the hearts of the two immediately tensed, fearing that the drifting boat would crash. I saw that after the observation post was hit, it rushed forward. Then pull the drifting boat and slide forward. Heung-woo saw the drifting boat drifting towards the sea with the observation post, so he hurriedly picked up Mia and ran to the inflatable boat tied to an ice rock on the seashore.

Miya, who was pulled forward by Xingyu, asked anxiously: "Lifeboat, what should I do?" Just listening, Xingyu replied decisively: "Give up, I don't want a lifeboat." Xingyu knew that Miya was reluctant to inflatable the boat, so he continued: "I am also reluctant to give up this lifeboat that has accompanied us from the beginning. But there is no way, if the drifting boat drifts into the ice floe, we will have to risk chasing the drifting boat. ”

Xingyu untied the rope tied to the ice stone, threw the rope into the inflatable boat casually, and immediately pushed the inflatable boat into the sea. The two of them immediately boarded the boat, and one of them operated an oar, and chased the drifting boat with all their might. Be sure to catch up with the drifting boat before it enters the ice-floe area, otherwise you may be knocked over by the ice floe if you use the inflatable boat to move forward in the ice-filled area. Seeing that the drifting boat was about to be pulled into the ice floe by the observation station, the two of them rowed hard and chased after them. Fortunately, the drifting boat did not drift fast, and soon they chased after the drifting boat, and they leaned the inflatable boat in front of the ladder outside the drifting boat. Heung-woo immediately asked Mia to climb onto the boat first. At the same time, Heung-woo picked up the rope tied to the front of the inflatable boat and immediately tied it to the ladder. Just as Heung-woo climbs the ladder, a piece of ice floe crashes into the inflatable boat. After the inflatable boat was hit, the stern bounced up like a ball and slapped at Heungwoo on the ladder. Mia exclaimed, watching the inflatable boat slam Xingyu. At this time, Xingyu could only arch his back and forcibly withstand the slap of the inflatable boat. Xingyu was photographed with gold stars in his eyes, and he desperately grabbed the ladder to prevent himself from falling. After Miya saw Xingyu being slapped by the inflatable boat, the whole person was shaky. Mia was frightened and immediately climbed the ladder from the platform. Just as Mia wanted to climb down the ladder, she saw Heung-woo shaking her head to sober herself up. Miya was relieved to see that Heungwoo was fine.

After Heung-woo climbed onto the platform, he saw that the observation post was gradually sinking. The driftboat rammed into the observation post, which had been slowed down by the sinking, and the two immediately grabbed the railing of the platform, ready to withstand the shock of the impact. But luckily, the drifting boat was slammed into the observation post. At this time, the bottom of the observatory was already stuck on the bottom of the sea. At this time, Xingyu also realized that he had made a mistake. The clasp of the observation post with the steel cable tied to it is under the surface of the sea, and at the other end, the bottom frame of the drifting boat with the steel cable tied to it also sinks under the sea. Xingyu can only untie the steel cable by sinking into the sea. And it's not just the steel cables, there are also cables and ropes to unravel.

Looking at the icy sea, Xingyu couldn't help but take a breath in shock. Unable to think of a better way, Xingyu had to grit his teeth and jump into the icy sea. After Xingyu inserted himself into the sea, he immediately shivered from the cold. Xingyu knew that his movements had to be fast, otherwise he would freeze soon. Fortunately, the clasp of the observation station was in front of Xingyu's eyes, and Xingyu didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately reached out to dismantle the steel cable. Soon, the steel cables, cables, and ropes were untied by Xingyu one by one. At this time, Xingyu felt his heart beating violently, and his hands and feet began to feel numb. Xingyu knew that he couldn't stay in the sea anymore, otherwise he would have to stay at the bottom of the sea for a long time after his whole body was numb from the cold.

Heung-woo hurriedly swam to the nearby boat ladder. Heungwoo grabbed the ladder and was about to climb it when he found that his fingers were stiff and couldn't grasp the ladder tightly. Xingyu was frightened and immediately held the ladder with both hands and climbed up the ladder with his feet. After Heung-woo climbed onto the platform, he immediately collapsed. Lying on the platform, the cold whole body shivered. Mia immediately took off the ski gloves that Heung-woo was wearing on his hands. Holding Xingyu's frozen palm, Miya kept exhaling hot air into Xingyu's palm. Gritting her teeth at the end, Mia tucked Heungwoo's palm into her clothes. Miya was beaten by Xingyu's palm. Miya simply lay on Xingyu's body and used herself as a warm bag to keep Xingyu warm.

After Xingyu felt better, he didn't dare to delay any longer. Immediately stand up, pull the boom, and operate the sails. Fortunately, the wind direction at this time is still blowing towards the sea, so that the drifting boat can go out to sea with the wind. The sea is covered with ice floe, and there is no way to avoid drifting boats. Xingyu could only operate the drifting boat and forcibly crash out. Fortunately, most of the ice floes are small ice floes. Xingyu believes that the drifting boat can hold on. But when Xingyu and Mia heard "bump", "bump", "bump", continuous crashing sounds. , Xingyu still hurriedly shouted Miya to climb into the cabin, paying attention to whether there was water seepage in the cabin. In this way, the drifting boat slowly crashed out of the ice floe sea area in the collision.

After the drifting boat rushed out of the small ice floe area, it was greeted by icebergs floating on the sea. Xingyu nervously maneuvered the sails to avoid the icebergs, but the small sails provided limited power. Several times, the drifting boat could not avoid the iceberg. The bottom frame of the oil tank grabs the iceberg. Fortunately, the tank base frame was wider than the tank, and the iceberg did not hurt the tank. Xingyu did not dare to phenomenon the situation of the bottom frame of the oil tank. Just don't crack the tank.

After some time, the icebergs floating on the surface of the sea have gradually thinned out. Xingyu was already able to operate the drifting boat to avoid the iceberg early. Soon after, I saw an iceberg in the distance on the sea. At the moment, they are safe. Xingyu doesn't have to operate the sails all the time, as long as he looks at the direction and tightens the sail boom with a rope.

Mia didn't have to stare at the cabin anymore, so she climbed onto the platform and looked at the shore in the distance with Heungwoo. At this time, they saw that the steam rising from the back of the canyon was no longer a white mist. The sky was grey there. The two estimated that the volcano would erupt soon, so Xingyu didn't dare to put away the sails, so he continued to sail forward. The farther away from the volcano, the better.
