Chapter 107: Riding the Wind and Waves
"Alright, that's the end of the reminiscence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Lieutenant Colonel Jian clapped his palms, looked at Lu You and said, "Wait until dawn to leave, the rest of the personnel have already gathered in the hall." Your adjutant is Li Xiaobai, and you know each other, so I won't introduce much, and I'll mainly tell you about your team now. ā
After making a gesture to keep up, Lieutenant Colonel Jian walked to the conference table, pushed a stack of photos in front of Lu You and said, "This time I have prepared 11 ships for you, a sightseeing boat converted into a command ship, with a capacity of 30 passengers. The three speedboats, two of which have been modified and equipped with a large amount of armament, may otherwise be very different from the junior warships, but they are not inferior in terms of firepower. ā
In addition to these four boats, one was converted into a fishing boat for supply storage, while the other six were small boats such as hovercraft and lifeboats.
After listening to Lieutenant Colonel Jian's introduction, Lu You couldn't help frowning and said, "Let's not talk about the sightseeing boat, it looks pretty good, but if you want a fishing boat, the horsepower can't keep up, right?" And such a fishing boat should be able to carry dozens or hundreds of people, right? ā
Hearing Lu You's words, Li Xiaobai couldn't help but glance at him appreciatively, and then said, "Don't worry, the engine of this fishing boat has been modified, and the speed may not be fast, but it can still keep up with the pace." And there are two boats and four lifeboats left in the camp for emergencies, as long as we can complete the mission, we will definitely be able to rescue the others! ā
Since even Li Xiaobai said this, Lu You only nodded, and listened to Lieutenant Colonel Jian continue: "This time, your team can be divided into five parts, and there are two groups that you must absolutely protect. ā
"The first part is the science and technology team, there are a total of 8 people, they are very familiar with the repair and modification of ship equipment, if there is a problem with the Comet, they can help you solve the problem."
"The second part, the sailors' group, a total of 21 people, will be divided into two groups, one on the command ship and one on the supply ship. Although most of the trained soldiers can start and drive ordinary ships, cruise ships still need professional sailors to handle them in order to operate normally. ā
"In addition to these twenty people, they were also divided into two armed escort groups, each controlling a speedboat. A raid reconnaissance team in charge of the last speedboat. and a demolition team to clear the way and clear the roadblocks. The last one is the emergency team, which has some special talents, and Li Xiaobai will tell you their usefulness at critical moments. ā
Li Xiaobai nodded and said: "This time, our team has a total of 58 people, and we will drive eight boats to the sea, and the other three hovercraft and lifeboats will be placed on the command ship and the supply ship respectively to deal with emergencies. ā
After having a general understanding of the team that will be led, Lu You and the others left the command center, went to the hall with dozens of people, and began to set off down the mountain.
Li Xiaobai and Lu You walked together, in the past two days, she was busy making all kinds of preparations, she needed to understand all the situations of the team clearly and memorize them by heart, so she was too busy to see Lu You for the past two days.
Now she is talking to Lu about the material situation of the team: "On the command ship, 20% of the food and medicine are placed, which is enough for 23 people on our ship to eat for more than a month. On the other six ships and boats, only a small amount was placed, enough for three days' worth of food for their crews. The other 70 percent was placed on the supply ship, where there was enough food and drinking water to feed a hundred people for a month. ā
Although the supplies seemed to be a little too sufficient, Lu You didn't say anything, after all, if their mission was successfully completed, they would also join Lieutenant Colonel Jian and them at that time, and if the mission failed, then these materials would also become important materials for Lu You and the dozens of them to survive in the future.
"Fearing various emergencies, we have also improvised more than a dozen accelerators in the past two days, so that even if our boat encounters rapids, we will be able to escape."
I have to say that Lieutenant Colonel Jian and Li Xiaobai have done a very good job in their preparations, in addition to accelerators, such as special hooks, hydrogen balloons, etc., but the tools that can definitely enhance the flexibility of the ship on the sea surface have been manufactured.
Li Xiaobai also knew that he would tell Lu You too many things, and he might not be able to remember it, so after only telling him some key things, he didn't say anything more.
As the crowd descended the mountain and walked the trail again, Lu You and the others soon saw several ships docked at the foot of the mountain.
Lu You had only walked through it once before, but his memory was very good, and when he saw the water surface submerging the large hills, he couldn't help but say, "The water level here has risen. ā
Li Xiaobai nodded and said with some concern: "Yes, at least it has risen by 280 centimeters." We have been monitoring the water level and the environment in the vicinity, and the rate of water level rise has accelerated a lot in the past two days, which we speculate is related to the continuous collapse and subsidence of the coastal continent. ā
Lu You narrowed his eyes, he always had a feeling of horror about this collapse of the continent, the first time he encountered a third-level disaster, he felt that it might be more terrifying than the disasters he had encountered before.
It took nearly half an hour for dozens of people to board the ship, and when all eight ships were ready, the sky was already bright, looking at Lieutenant Colonel Jian who waved goodbye to everyone at the foot of the mountain, the team "Departure!" At the sound of an order, all of them slowly started and headed towards the sea.
The sea breeze was howling, and after the previous terrible sea storm, this sky that had been calm for many days was churning again, and it had already rained lightly for the past two days, but fortunately it was only windy this morning, and there was no heavy rain.
Standing on the deck of the command ship, looking at the six ships and boats guarding on both sides, Lu You suddenly had a feeling of pride, the command ship was transformed from a sightseeing ship, even if most of the decorations were removed, it still could not erase the aristocratic and luxurious atmosphere on it.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Lu You, as the leader of the entire fleet, felt like a general on the expedition in the old days, fighting for the survival of the entire camp.
Even though Lu You has experienced several disasters, when such a thought arises, it still makes him feel a sense of responsibility and pride.
The sun was rising, the wind was howling, and the flotilla was riding the waves, and the engines of these ships were improvised and full of horsepower, and against the current, they soon left the hills where the camp was located, and began to move towards the place where the Comet cruise ship was.
