Chapter 304: Falling into the water together
A hurricane of this magnitude is very dangerous for ships at sea, especially small thousand-ton vessels like the Perseverance and Seabird.
"Quick, Lin Youcheng, hurry up to my Perseverance!" Ma Lin first pulled Lin Youcheng to the side of the "Perseverance", and then shouted to Ji Xiang over there:
"Ji Xiang, get me back to the Forbearance immediately!"
Ji Xiang didn't hesitate, and immediately ran towards the Stoic, and with the help of two crew members, she transferred from the Seabird's side.
At the same time, the sailors on the Perseverance were already skilful and swift in taking emergency measures.
At this time, Matsushita and Kitajima also came out of the cabin, and they were all startled when they saw the rapidly approaching storm.
As a person who has been in the shipping business for many years, what kind of damage can a storm of this magnitude in the North Island cause, even if it is a coastal area, it will become a mess under the blowing of this kind of storm, not to mention the ship on the sea, there will be a danger of capsizing at any time!
"Quick! We'll be back soon! Kitajima said without hesitation.
Ma Lin had already pulled Lin Youcheng to the connection with the Forbearance, and said to the North Island at the same time:
"Come over here, or it'll be too late!"
Because the Marin Perseverance is the latest yacht, it can greatly surpass the old Seabird in terms of speed, and can return to the mainland faster.
Moreover, the people on board the Tenacity are all trained seamen, and if something does go wrong, they will definitely be safer than ordinary sailors like the Seabird. That is, Lin Youcheng and Ji Xiang, who are just a few people that Marin values seriously, like Matsushita and Ryosuke Iwasaki, even if they die in the sea, Marin will not feel distressed.
In order to get closer to Kitajima and Ryosuke Iwasaki, Panasonic naturally hopes that they can stay on his own ship, and through this experience of sharing hardships, he will definitely be able to bring their relationship a lot closer.
And seeing that Ma Lin was going to pull his guest Lin Youcheng up to the Perseverance over there, Panasonic showed a look of anger on his face.
Lin Youcheng saw the angry look on his face, and as soon as his face changed, he stretched out his other hand and grabbed the railing, and said to Ma Lin:
"Marin, come over quickly, I'll be here."
Ma Lin naturally saw Panasonic's face, and couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.
This Matsushita didn't even care about the danger of his friends for the sake of his own face, and although he didn't know that the people on the Stoic were all experienced navy, this had already aroused Marin's outpouring anger.
At this critical time, Ma Lin didn't bother to entangle with Panasonic, and was about to force him to the Perseverance despite Lin Youcheng's attitude, but Lin Youcheng took a few steps back first.
And just then, a wave suddenly hit the Seabird and the Stoic, causing both ships to sway.
Marin, Matsushita, Kitajima, Ryosuke Iwasaki and others, who were standing not far from the railing, were caught off guard, and they were all thrown out by the violently shaking hull, and all of them fell into the sea.
Lin Youcheng didn't hesitate, he didn't have time to take off his clothes, he jumped into the sea directly, and quickly swam to Ma Lin's side!
Because the storm has come, the waves on the sea in this area have suddenly risen, and people like Kitajima and Iwasaki Ryosuke, who are familiar with water, are still floating and sinking involuntarily, not to mention Marin, who has not yet recovered his physical strength due to diving.
Seeing Ma Lin floating or sinking on the surface of the sea over there waving and paddling his arms unconsciously, Lin Youcheng's heart tightened, and a carp turned over and sank under the sea, so that the degree of being affected by the waves was much smaller, and the body swam much easier.
And under the seabed, he also saw several struggling and writhing bodies in the distance, one of which was Marin's.
I saw Marin's feet under the water kicking uncontrollably, trying hard not to sink, but the effect of this method was not obvious, but it would consume a lot of her physical strength.
Sure enough, within a while, Lin Youcheng saw that her movements began to slow down and became weak.
Fortunately, Lin Youcheng fully launched his underwater skills, like a dolphin, and soon swam behind Ma Lin, his hands passed under her armpits and grabbed her, and with a kick of both feet, he floated to the sea with Ma Lin.
As soon as the sea surfaced, Marin immediately opened his mouth and inhaled hard, and then he came back to his senses slightly.
At this time, Marin was very embarrassed, her slender hair was attached to her forehead, water droplets kept sliding down her face, her pink cheeks were a little pale, and there was a little panic between her eyebrows.
She turned her head to look back, and saw Lin Youcheng who grabbed her so that she would not sink, the look on her face suddenly relaxed, and she let out a long breath, as if to say, "I knew you would come to save me." ”
Lin Youcheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt that although Ma Lin was not very watery, he was relatively calm.
Because after an ordinary person falls into the water, if someone goes to save her, he will definitely instinctively grasp the rescuer, no matter how much the rescuer persuades, he will not let go, and the biggest possibility is to die in the sea with the rescuer.
Therefore, when many lifeguards go to rescue a drowning person, they will knock the person unconscious from behind and drag him back to shore.
And Ma Lin didn't react violently except for being startled when he was caught by Lin Youcheng just now, and he was also very cooperative with Lin Youcheng's rescue.
"Marin, it's going to be fine, I'll take you back to the ship." Lin Youcheng comforted Ma Lin in his ear.
Ma Lin nodded, after having Lin Youcheng by her side, her heart was much more stable than just now.
At the same time, Lin Youcheng's hand also grabbed her through her armpits, and his arm was also tightly attached to her plump chest, and it was slightly squeezed with the rise and fall of the sea, making Ma Lin's pale face reveal a little ruddy.
But she also knew that Lin Youcheng was saving herself, not being rude, so she silently didn't speak, and of course, she didn't feel disgusted.
Lin Youcheng naturally didn't think of this at this time, because this sudden storm had come, and it was very dangerous at sea, and Ma Lin had to return to the ship with him as soon as possible.
He looked back at Kitajima and Ryosuke Iwasaki and the other people who had fallen into the water, and saw that they were quickly swimming towards the Stonobi.
Without further ado, Lin Youcheng also immediately swam over there with Ma Lin, who was not physically fit.
Compared with Panasonic and others, Lin Youcheng brought more Marin, but his swimming speed was still very fast, and it didn't take long to catch up behind Beidao and others.
Panasonic didn't look back at all, just swam forward with one strength, as if he didn't care about himself at all, which made Lin Youcheng, who was following behind, very annoyed, and even had an impulse, just swam up like this, and gave him a moment unconsciously, so that he completely sank into the sea.
The Perseverance was also slowly approaching a few people who had fallen overboard, and thanks to the skill of Marin's men, they were able to control the yacht so well in such rough seas.
When Ryosuke Iwasaki and Kitajima approached the Stonobi, several lifebuoys with ropes were immediately thrown down on it, and Kitajima immediately swam over and grabbed the lifebuoys.
