We battled the rough seas for nearly four hours before we could get a respite, by which time the work on the deck was almost done, and all the supplies that needed to be secured were securely tied to the iron rings nailed to the deck with nylon rope nets. Those who didn't have time to fix all of them had already washed into the sea and became sacrifices to the Sea Dragon King.

Zhang Bald wanted to use an iron hook to hook some of the floating goods back on the sea, but the boat boss disagreed, saying that the fishermen of Xisha have their own rules, and what falls into the bottom of the sea belongs to the Sea Dragon King, and they must not be caught before worshipping Matsu.

We had no choice but to watch the goods disappear and tumble beneath the sea.

The southeast wind was stronger and stronger, and the wave height had reached almost seven meters, and the captain of the ship shouted to us to go back to the warehouse, even if it was a sailor, we had to tie a rope around our waist before we could go out to work.

I was about to go back to the warehouse, and in a flash, a huge wave seven stories high hit the boat, and the boat flew up, I heard an exclamation, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a person thrown out of the side of the boat, A Ning and Zhang Bald grabbed his clothes, and he did not fall into the sea.

I rushed over to help, and the three of them hurriedly pulled the man up, broke his face and looked,! It's Wu Yong again, this fucking guy doesn't have a long memory, we don't blame you for having poor natural balance, you're still running to the deck when the fuck is fine, isn't this intentionally adding to the chaos?

Wu Yong's frightened face turned pale, and he said thank you vigorously, and Zhang Bald said to him, you hurry back to the warehouse, don't come out again, the deck is very dangerous.

He trembled and pointed to the sea, as if he wanted to say something, when suddenly the boat boss shouted: "Squat!"

Before the words could be heard clearly, a huge wave slapped on the side of the ship, the hull made a painful twisting sound, and the crest of the two people rushed over the hull of the boat, although we followed the order of the boat boss and squatted down to reduce the impact, we still did not withstand this momentum, and our bodies were swept into the waves, and our eyes were white, and our ears slammed, and we fell into the sea.

I stepped on the water and poked my head out, and saw that the boat had drifted dozens of meters away, and Zhang Bald shouted at me while paddling: "I'll chase the boat, let them turn around, you go and find the other two people~".

The undercurrent of the waves was surging, and my eyes were full of white spray from the impact of the waves, and I desperately stepped on my feet and looked in all directions, except for Zhang Bald, who was far away, everyone else was gone.

Just now a big wave came, the situation was chaotic, how many people were in the water, I didn't see clearly, and now I don't know how to find it.

Just as I was at a loss, a head suddenly appeared from the wave on my left, shouted at me, and then pressed another wave underwater.

When I saw that it was Aning, I hurriedly went down to grab her and lift her out of the water.

A-Ning choked on the sea and coughed, just relieved, unable to speak, while inhaling heavily, gesturing to me.

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and I saw a small dot floating up and down far away from us, and I don't know what it was.

Ah Ning finally spoke at this time, and shouted, "That... That's Wu Yong, go save him! ”

I saw that this guy couldn't swim, and he fell into such a stormy wave, and he was scared to death if he didn't drown.

I was just about to swim over to save him, when suddenly a big wave swept us in and pressed us into the water, and when I poked out again, the dot was gone.

A-Ning and I anxiously searched for it, but the dot never appeared again, and I don't know if it was swept farther away or sunk into the water.

Now the situation is critical, there is no time to worry about others, we are now in the sea affected by the tropical storm, although there is no danger for the time being, but the waves here are too big, with our physical strength, we don't know how long we can last. Whether Zhang Bald can catch up with the ship, and whether the ship can find us when it comes back, are unknown.

The waves pressed over one after another, lapping against each other to form many rapid whirlpools, and various forces under the water converged and influenced each other, forming a large number of unpredictable currents.

I had no reference, but I could feel the movement underwater, and we were being forcibly pushed in one direction by a force, gradually moving away from our ship's course.

As I wrestled with the waves, I beckoned A-Ning to swim back, for floating in the water would only carry the current farther and farther away, and by the time the boat came back to us, we might have been washed up in the Malay Archipelago.

Swimming in the waves, the physical exertion was so great that I didn't even know how long I had been swimming, I felt my hands gradually lose sensation, and the scene in front of me began to blur, and I felt a little desperate, and if this continued, neither of us could hold on for long.

When he was at a loss, A-Ning suddenly stopped, pointed to the distance and shouted.

I followed her finger and saw that in the midst of the huge waves, a large, blurred black shadow was approaching us, very fast, I squinted my eyes to look closely, but the light was too dim to distinguish anything.

I couldn't care about it anymore, so I gritted my teeth and pulled A-Ning to swim towards the black shadow.

A black shadow instantly came to us, it was a fishing boat very similar to the one we were on, the hull was painted dark green, the bow of the ship had neither signal lights nor warehouse lights, and the whole ship was pitch black.

I look at it and feel that something is wrong, even if the power of the ordinary ship is completely empty, the kerosene wind lamp should be lit in the cabin, such a black method, is there no one on the ship, is it not a ghost ship?

We slid our almost numb arm and used all our strength to get closer to it, and the boat slid five or six yards away from us, and without stopping, it drifted behind us at once.

I look bad, it's the only hope we have for survival, and if we miss this ship, it's no fun.

I gritted my teeth and followed, and A-Ning in front of me had already grabbed the side of the ship and climbed onto the deck, she threw a survival buoy with a rope at me, shouting, "Catch this!"

The survival buoy landed right next to me, and I quickly hugged it, pulling the rope and pulling myself to the side of the boat little by little, until my hand grabbed the iron ring on the side of the boat, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Anin pulled me to the side of the ship, and I was completely out of force and fell into it so hard that the deck below me was barely loaded, and there was a shrill creak at once.

The two of us were in great distress, our faces were ridiculously white, and we didn't know whether it was to soak in the seawater or to be scared, we took a breath, and A-Ning found a wind lantern hanging outside the cabin, turned on the lamp, and motioned to go to the cabin to take a look.

Although the door of the cabin was closed, a lot of seawater still splashed in through the cracks, and the places illuminated by the wind lamps were wet.

The structure of this ship is very similar to ours, it is an old fishing boat produced in the seventies and eighties, with an iron hull, a large compartment space, the cabin used to be a cargo hold, and it was also pitch black inside, and we shouted twice, but there was no response except for the squeak of the deck rubbing.

I felt something unusual, this was undoubtedly an unmanned ship traveling on the sea, where did the people on it go, and they all abandoned the ship when the storm came?

There were a lot of things piled up in the warehouse, I saw a hanging stove, and hurriedly beat it to keep warm, at this time if there was a cup of hot coffee, even if I died, I would admit it.

A-Ning ripped off the water cloth on the cargo and found that it was all diving equipment, most of which were oxygen cylinders, and there were some numbers on the bottles.

We picked one up and took a closer look.

A-Ning suddenly screamed, startling me, and asked her what she was doing, and she trembled and said, "This ship is K5-883!" ”
