Chapter 112: Adventure Again (Addendum 5/21)
The death of vaporetboat No. 1 resulted in the loss of one liaison officer, as well as two soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although there are only three people, you must know that everyone who makes up this team is a top talent carefully selected from the camp, and the total number of people in the team is only about sixty people, and the sacrifice of each person will put the team under more pressure.
Moreover, the No. 1 motorboat was equipped with the only two sets of mobile signal receiving equipment in the fleet, and now the No. 1 motorboat has been swallowed up by cracks, which not only makes the fleet one less ship, but also greatly weakens the reconnaissance team's exploration ability.
After the video was played, Li Xiaobai walked to Lu You and continued: "Now the reconnaissance boat and the No. 2 motorboat have returned safely. However, Qi Xun, the leader of the reconnaissance group 2, said that because of the continuous use of accelerators, the hull of the reconnaissance boat was overloaded, and it was no longer suitable for assault, and I had already sent technicians to check it. ”
The flotilla had ceased sailing, and now six other small boats were surrounding the command ship, except for the supply ship that was still hanging in the rear.
Lu You turned his head and glanced at the clock on the wall of the warehouse, which was showing 17:40.
Walking to his seat and sitting down, Lu You asked Li Xiaobai, "When did it start raining?" ”
That's right, Lu You didn't observe carefully before, so he didn't see rain outside the boat for a while, but from the screen of the video just now, there was obviously rain drifting in the place where the lights were shining, although it was not big.
"It was just over 10 minutes ago."
Li Xiaobai said with a wry smile: "At first, it was just getting dark, and by the time I wanted to withdraw the reconnaissance team, the situation was out of control." This is a message from the camp just now, but it was a little too late. ”
At Li Xiaobai's suggestion, Jiang Xin switched the screen again, only to see a map like a weather map on the weather forecast news.
The map shows the entire Guangdong Province, and I saw that on the long and narrow map, there were several white and gray cyclones densely distributed.
"This column is the storm at sea that protects us, because of the impact of the previous tsunami, a number of independent storms have been formed, and their mutual checks and balances and influences are also the reason why we can have good weather these days. But just now the camp received information that there was already a cyclone that had begun to disappear and merge. ”
Li Xiaobai took the silver baton, pointed it on the screen, and enlarged the map, showing only the weather conditions in Huiyang City, and could see that under the influence of two large storms near the periphery, a small cyclone prototype had formed.
Pointing to the thin little cyclone, Li Xiaobai said: "Such a change has once again made the weather here unstable. And the impact of this is soon being felt, and the position of this new little storm is right behind us. ”
"So, not only have we now greatly reduced our reconnaissance force, but we are also being flanked from front to back?"
"I'm afraid so."
There was a huge crack in front and a storm forming in the rear, and Lu You and their fleet were caught in the middle, which made Lu You frown.
The only thing that kept Lu You from panicking was that until now, no new warnings have been issued in the disaster warning, which means that although these two aspects are dangerous, they will not threaten Lu You's life for a while.
"Show me the map, will you have time to predict the extent of that storm? In addition, the crack in front of it is also drawn from the map. ”
These two requirements of Lu You need professional personnel to be able to answer, and Jiang Xin and another information technician were busy for a while before perfecting the map.
The results from the camp show that the storm is not expected to form a strong storm, but it will reach its maximum intensity between this early morning and tomorrow morning, and the waves will most likely overturn the small boats except for the command and supply ships.
In addition, the crack ahead was not shown on the map updated yesterday, which means that it was newly formed, which made the nearby waters even more unsafe.
Even if Lu You and the others were able to get around that rift, they might encounter other new rifts.
In such a situation, there was very little room left for Lu You to choose, he looked at Li Xiaobai and said: "The fleet is moving towards the mountains and forests, and it is now impossible to travel. Even if there is an anchor hook, it is not safe for the whole fleet to drift on the sea, so when you go to the mountains and forests, you can secure the ships and avoid this storm first. ”
Lu You's arrangement made Li Xiaobai nod as well, she also had the same plan, and Jiang Xin, who was standing next to him, could only smile bitterly, he didn't plan to support him before, but the current situation has no choice at all.
"In addition, inform the people you selected earlier, and when the supply ships converge, I will lead the team to set off."
Although he guessed that Lu You was likely to do this, Li Xiaobai couldn't help but dissuade him: "Although it will be delayed for more than ten hours, when the storm passes tomorrow morning, we will walk for a few more hours." There can also be storms at night, and it is too dangerous to go out at this time. ”
Lu You shook his head and said non-negotiablely: "If there is no accident, of course I don't want to take risks. But now that the accident has happened, the storm forecast is that it will weaken tomorrow, but what if another accident happens? ”
Looking at Li Xiaobai, who didn't speak, Lu You said softly: "And what does the appearance of the crack mean, don't you know?" It has been counted before that the appearance of cracks means that the land collapse is not far away, and it will only take about 20 to 30 hours from the beginning of the discovery of the cracks to the disappearance of the cracks. So, we don't have any more time to wait. ”
Lu You decided to do the following, the supply ship was about 1 hour behind, and after joining the supply ship, Lu You would leave the fleet with a total of 21 people, cross the mountains west of Xiangyang, and go directly to Xiangyang Town, and then go to the factory where the Comet cruise ship was located.
This parting was very dangerous and uncertain for Lu You.
After 24 hours, this area will collapse, and then it will cause terrifying accompanying disasters such as subsidence, earthquakes, and whirlpools, and if Lu You and the others can't find and drive the Comet cruise ship, relying only on hovercraft or lifeboats, it will definitely be the same fate as the previous No. 1 motorboat.
Because of Lu You's decision, the entire fleet began to get busy again, and Lu You was also explaining the next thing to Li Xiaobai: "After we leave, you will first take shelter from the storm here, and wait until dawn tomorrow to drive the fleet back!" ”
"Drive back?!"
Li Xiaobai thought he had heard it wrong, and repeated it again in surprise.
