Chapter 45: Terror in the Storm
"Hey, what's going on at the beach? Why are there so many people? "In a small fishing village by the sea, all the villagers gathered together, looked towards the sea, and talked about it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere was a group of people standing on the seaside, and there was also a large ship parked in the harbor, seemingly waiting to depart. After the people had counted the numbers, they lined up on the big ship, leaving about ten people in the harbor.
"I don't know, are they going to sea?"
"Oh my God, they're going to make the sea goddess angry. Do you remember Uncle Zheng's son? ”
"It's terrible, you need to stop them."
"Who are they? Looking at the fierce and vicious, it is really a terrifying group of people. ”
The people in the fishing village chattered and chattered non-stop, but no one went up to stop them.
Luo Jin, one of the elders of the Fulong Gang, stood on the deck, and the oncoming sea breeze made his aging face look more and more vicissitudes. "Boss, look, are we going in that direction?" Someone behind him shouted loudly into the wind.
"Nonsense." Luo Jin said sternly. Five years ago, when the new head of the family succeeded to the helm of Fulong Bang, he was also promoted to one of the elders of the Fulong Gang, responsible for the management and training of all members of the Fulong Gang. This time, he was given the task of going to sea on a temporary basis, which surprised him very much.
"The subordinate is Ah Jiu, who has just entered the Fulong Gang for a few years, Ah Jiu has just turned eighteen, young but ghostly, after joining the Fulong Gang at the age of 15, he quickly figured out the interests of various power branches in the gang, and soon became Luo Jin's right-hand man. It's just that Ah Jiu has a weakness, and he can't see blood and is small. When he heard that he was going to sea, the whole person was very bad, and as Luo Jin's right-hand man, there was no reason to be stage frightened at this time.
Ah Jiu deliberately kept a straight face, "According to the last intelligence, the ship is heading to the forbidden area." ”
"How soon can we get there?" Luo Jin asked.
Ah Jiu calculated the time, "Three hours at the earliest." However, it has been observed that there will be a storm soon. ”
Luo Jin's brows furrowed very tightly, "Raise the sails, go full speed, and save people no matter what." ”
"Yes!" Ah Jiu took the order to go down.
The villagers on the shore looked at the sails on the boat and couldn't help but worry, "This weather, it looks like a storm is about to fall, and it is still the day of the forbidden sea, who are they so bold." ”
"Mom." A child tugged at the corner of the woman's clothes next to him, "I know the man in black over there." ”
The woman squatted down and held the child in her hands, "Does Xiaobao know that uncle in black?" Who is he? ”
"He's a candy pie monster." A child named Xiaobao said in a milky voice.
"The youkai who pieed the candy?" The woman thought the child was joking, and laughed twice, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, and said loudly, "Folks, they are the members of the Fulong Gang, the biggest gang!" ”
Zhuo Fan forced the last window in the cabin to shut out, isolating the storm, and the cabin was much quieter. Zhuo Fan gradually stabilized his breathing and looked at Uncle Zheng, who was still in shock. "Old man, how long do you think this storm will last?"
Uncle Zheng couldn't stand steadily, so he simply sat on the floor and hugged the corner of the table. "It's hard to say, the weather at sea has never been accurate," he said, "It's hard to say. ”
"However, when we looked at the weather forecast yesterday, didn't we say that it was sunny today? How could there be such a big storm all of a sudden? "The hull of the ship shook violently, almost tilting over." Do you think our ship can hold on? ”
Uncle Zheng shook his head, "I really don't know, I've never encountered such a big storm. ”
After what happened just now, Zhuo Fan was already exhausted. Uncle Zheng's words made him feel like he was hollowed out from the inside out, and as the next time the hull shook, he sat down and slid to the foot of the wall, "What am I doing here?" Zhuo Fan was a little frustrated.
"Mr. Zhuo...... Yes! Uncle Zheng's cry was muffled by the sound of shattering glass in Zhuo Fan's ears, accompanied by the howling wind and violent showers, Zhuo Fan's face was hot and painful. He touched his cheek, which was dripping with blood.
"Mr. Zhuo, your face is injured...... Uncle Zheng wanted to get up, Zhuo Fan hurriedly stopped, "Don't move." Zhuo Fan looked at the broken glass shards all over the ground, and the hot pain on his face made him calm down a lot, "Where is the first aid kit on the ship?" ”
Uncle Zheng looked at Zhuo Fan's face where blood was gushing out, and pointed to the bottom of the folding bed tremblingly. Zhuo Fan understood, slowly crawled over, sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed the foot of the bed with one hand, and scooped up the first aid kit under the bed with the other.
Uncle Zheng watched Zhuo Fan slowly clean up his wounds in the unsteady. Gritting his teeth, he got up and picked up the tablecloth, rushed to the shattered window pane in three or two steps, and covered the hole in the window with the tablecloth. smiled, "It seems that I will really have to change tempered glass in the future." ”
The large piece of gauze attached to Zhuo Fan's face was slowly stained red by the blood donation, and he also laughed, "Change to a bigger boat!" ”
Uncle Zheng and Zhuo Fan sat in the cabin, the wind outside the window whistled like a ghost, and the sound of rain hitting the deck was like thousands of horses trampling by, which made people tremble. Uncle Zheng and Zhuo Fan looked at the lightning and thunder outside the window from the flickering light of the flashlight, and laughed even more happily.
The storm doesn't look like it's going to stop.
Luo Jin was in the lounge of the cabin, gently lifting the curtain on the window. A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by a thunderclap that shook the sky, and Luo Jin frowned worriedly.
"Boss." There was a knock on the door outside the door, and it was Ah Jiu's voice. "We're about to enter the storm zone, I'll come over and ask for instructions." Through the door, Luo Jin still noticed that Ah Jiu's voice was a little trembling. Luo Jin opened the door and saw Ah Jiu's frightened pale face, "Go and see." ”
"Boss, the storm ahead is too big, ordinary ships can't hold out for long at all, I'm afraid it's ......"
Luo Jin stood on the deck, the distance in the telescope frightened him, the storm there was unexpectedly violent, the whole sea seemed to swallow the whole sky, there was nothing but darkness and gray-white rushing waves, only scarlet lightning that pierced the sky.
The sky was gray and black, and the rain was falling drop by drop. Ah Jiu helped Luo Jin with an umbrella. "Boss, it looks like the storm is moving here. We ......"
Luo Jin took a step forward, his brows furrowed even tighter. He looked back at these people standing on the deck, all waiting for his orders, Luo Jin knew that as long as he gave an order, everyone would follow him into the storm without hesitation, to find those two people who did not know whether they were alive or dead. And these people standing behind him are all brothers who he trained to be born and die.
Luo Jin was entangled in his heart, he had stood in the rain for a long time, and he had never been so unable to make a choice as now. The storm was getting closer and closer, and the raindrops hitting the umbrella seemed to urge Luo Jin to make a decision. Suddenly, a white lightning bolt slashed down from the top of Luo Jin's head, and the light on Luo Jin's face flashed, and everyone was shocked, only Luo Jin did not move. The sea breeze and the rain slowly wet Luo Jin's suit, and he calmly breathed a sigh of relief, "Return ......"
"Where is the gang leader......" Ah Jiu's face looked extremely pale in the gradually darkening sky, and he couldn't help but remind Luo Jin. Luo Jin didn't know what the consequences would be if he disobeyed the gang leader's orders without permission. It wasn't until the brethren behind him fell to their knees on the deck that he turned, hesitated for a moment, and said with a determined look in his eyes, "Return." ”
The storm was still so fierce that it didn't mean to stop at all. Zhuo Fan and Uncle Zheng hid in the cabin, exhausted from just trying to keep their bodies stable as the waves tossed. What's more, now that the temperature at sea has plummeted, Zhuo Fan and Uncle Zheng are hungry and cold.
With a loud crackling of lightning, Uncle Zheng finally couldn't hold it anymore, tilted his head and vomited on the ground, the small cabin was instantly filled with the fishy smell of vomit, and Zhuo Fan was about to faint several times.
"It looks like this storm will be a long time before it passes." Uncle Zheng looked weakly at the dark sky outside the window, and under the rolling dark clouds, the waves made a loud noise, as if ringing in his ears.
Zhuo Fan's ears were shaken by one loud bang after another, his whole body was groggy, lying on the ground weakly grasping the bridge to barely stabilize his body, he smiled bitterly, "As long as the ship is not overturned, we will not die." ”
"After this incident, are you going to go to that place again?" Uncle Zheng supported his body a little and asked reluctantly.
"What about you?" Zhuo Fan asked Uncle Zheng in turn. As a journalist, Zhuo Fan always unconsciously puts himself in the perspective of the questioner.
Uncle Zheng said, "Perhaps, my son also died in the sea because of such a storm." ”
"Actually, you already knew that your son must be dead. After all, at sea, there are too many dangers. Zhuo Fan pulled up his body that was about to slide down, sat down firmly and continued to talk to Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng moved to Zhuo Fan's side, "People are alive, aren't they obsessed with this." Uncle Zheng smiled, his smile was sad and helpless.
"The storm seems to be much smaller...... Zhuo Fan noticed that the bump in the hull of the ship was not as violent as before, and it seemed to be slowly calming down.
Zhuo Fan slowly stood up with the console, his center of gravity was unstable and he almost fell, but he finally stabilized his body and slowly walked to the door of the cabin.
"The storm is almost over." Zhuo Fan said softly, looking at the dark and gradually stabilizing sea, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Uncle Zheng looked at the mess in the cabin and felt palpitations, "This is really the most thrilling night in my sailing career." ”
Zhuo Fan cheered up, "Old man, do we have anything else to eat on the ship?" I'm dying of hunger. ”
Uncle Zheng smiled and said, "Yes." ”
