Chapter 10 Stopping the ship again
I slept until dawn, and when there was a glimmer of dawn on the horizon, the Iron Anchor paused a few times and stopped again. This is also the second time the ship has stopped tonight.
I didn't sleep too hard, so the moment the boat stopped, I felt it, and the boat was ringing.
I hurriedly sat up from the bed, and Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey also woke up. Our brothers looked at each other. This time, without waiting for Jiang Shaoyan to say anything, Iron Donkey and I took the lead.
I opened the bottom half of the hatch and tried to get out of here. But Jiang Shaoyan fed his throat and waved his hand to me and the iron donkey, saying that there was no need to do this.
The iron donkey figured out what to do, and suddenly realized. I'm confused. Jiang Shaoyan walked over, opened the hatch without any worries, and muttered, "This bell is a technical alarm, the equipment on the ship is out of order, don't be so nervous." In addition, Chen Shiyu and those people, a method will not be repeated twice, and this time there will be no killing machine. ”
I believe Jiang Shaoyan's words, and my heart is a lot more relaxed.
We swaggered out of the hatch. I would have had to go to the operation room this time and ask Captain Lu what was going on.
Unexpectedly, before we could go that way, Captain Lu ran over with a few sailors.
They all took out a hurried posture, and looked at the direction and ran to the stern. We stopped them, Jiang Shaoyan asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Captain Lu replied, "According to the flashing light on the console, there is a problem with the main power unit of the Iron Anchor, and we suspect that the propeller is broken, isn't it?" They all ran to the stern of the boat to have a look. ”
We all nodded in understanding, and followed Captain Lu to the stern.
When we arrived, there were quite a few people gathered here, including the five third mates. It must also be said that the Iron Anchor is big enough to have such a wide space for these people to settle down.
Everyone was looking down against the railing, and I leaned over and saw a rubber boat that was driving under the stern.
There were two people sitting on the boat, and I had an impression of them, one was called the Iron Arm Monkey, because he was born with great arm strength, so he had such a nickname, and the other was called the Earth Fat Rat, a short, fat, and a little obscene man.
They are technical workers, and this time they drove the boat to the stern, and they must have wanted to overhaul the propellers. I don't know anything about it, so I can't say anything, so I can only wait and see.
The earth fat rat also acted as the helmsman, first docked the boat two meters away from the stern, and the iron arm monkey carried a small box on his shoulder, and put on the diver's equipment, and jumped into the sea.
After a quarter of an hour of this, those of us who watched the excitement either whispered a few words in private or took out our cigarettes and smoked, and when the iron gibbon resurfaced, he took off his diving goggles and shouted to the boat, "Something rushed into the propeller and caused the propeller to jam and burn out." ”
I was sensitive to the word burned, and I chuckled in my heart, and turned my head to look at Captain Lu secretly.
The captain's face was not very good-looking, and he thought stupidly, the ship's propeller burned, doesn't it mean that the Iron Anchor can't be opened?
Captain Lu is also a master who has experienced strong winds and waves, he has a lot of ideas, and he also calms down, and asks the Iron Arm Monkey, "What rushed in?" ”
The Iron Arm Monkey said that he couldn't see it at the moment, and that it had been damaged by the propeller, but from his senses, it was not small, and it should be a shark or something.
A thought popped up in my mind, I thought of the death squad, and I thought to myself, could it be that it was really a shark? They were controlled by Chen Shiyu with that kind of black equipment? Even if you sacrifice your life, you have to break the propeller?
Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey were next to me, and the iron donkey had a question, so he chatted to Jiang Shaoyan, "Something is wrong!" How strong the propeller is! Even if a great white shark hits inside, it won't suffocate it, right? ”
Jiang Shaoyan didn't answer, just nodded gloomily, expressing his agreement with the iron donkey's point of view.
I was told by the iron donkey, and my mind was full of question marks.
Captain Lu pondered for a while, and then asked, "Monkey, let's see, can you simply repair the propeller so that we can hold out until we go back?" ”
The monkey shouted, "Try your best." And the captain's words also caused Jiang Shaoyan's sideways.
I can see that Captain Lu has a kind of idea this time without consulting Jiang Shaoyan, but what he did is not right, the state of the Iron Anchor is not suitable for continuing to drive towards Ghost Island at all.
Jiang Shaoyan didn't say anything to refute, and beckoned us to continue watching under the boat.
The Iron-armed Monkey got ready again, got everything done with the diving guy, and another fierce man plunged into it, kicking his flippers a few times. But here's the strange thing. Before he could dive down, we all saw him writhing frantically.
After a few blinks, he didn't move, and with a pop, he floated up.
How long has it been? His belly was swollen, especially in his lower abdomen, like a pregnant woman who was about to give birth.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. The earth fat rat was close, and he had a deep relationship with the iron arm monkey, he panicked first, and the monkey barked a few times, and drove the boat forward, and came to the side of the iron arm monkey.
The Iron Anchor also had a searchlight at the stern, and Captain Lew asked his men to turn on the light to illuminate the underboard.
This time, we can see more clearly that the iron arm monkey who took off the diving goggles actually bled from seven orifices! Apparently dead.
I think it's a big deal, if he died suddenly because of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, he would never have died so terrifyingly, it is likely that he encountered something in the water just now.
Jiang Shaoyan made up his mind to go down and have a look, and he also divided the work among us special policemen. He asked the iron donkey and one of the "three mates" to bring the guns and set them up, and let the other three officers throw the iron claws and carry the ropes directly from the deck to the bottom of the ship.
Also, he asked me to go with him to see what happened to the Iron Arm Monkey.
Although I didn't really want to go, after all, the danger was too great, but it was my business, and I had to prepare for the autopsy, so I took a few deep breaths and slowly pressed myself.
We people are very efficient, and within a minute, the gun and the iron claw are in place, Jiang Shaoyan beckoned to me and began to climb the iron claw.
Jiang Shaoyan's body was flexible, jumping and jumping, stepping on the hull and swishing down, I originally wanted to use Jiang Shaoyan's method, but after trying it once, I found that it was not the material, and I almost slipped and fell directly.
I simply used a stupid trick, clamping the rope tightly between my legs, and letting myself go bald down a little bit.
By the time I stepped into the rubber boat, Jiang Shaoyan and the soil fat rat had already dragged the monkey's corpse to the boat, and made him lie flat and rip off his shirt.
Looking at his belly so naked, there was a disgusting scene, the flesh of his belly in many places was broken, revealing small openings.
Jiang Shaoyan poked his finger in the stomach, sighed, and turned his head to look at me again.
I kept looking and noticed that the belly of the iron gimbon was about the same as a balloon, and it seemed to have a lot of gas in it. I asked Jiang Shaoyan to make room for me, and I took out the scalpel.
When the soil fat rat saw that I was going to dissect, he was a little entangled, but he didn't stop him, and finally took a step back.
I went to the lower abdomen of the iron-armed monkey, and I thought that this was the biggest problem, and when the scalpel just slid a small opening, we all heard a pop. A strong smell of blood also erupted from the knife.
I was supposed to guard against this hand and raise my head high, but the air flow was too strong, and I still ran over to let me smell it, and I was smoked for a while, and I felt like the world was spinning.
In addition, it was surrounded by the air current, and a pile of foam was sprayed out, making the area near the knife edge full of yellow dots.
Jiang Shaoyan was able to resist, but there was no reaction, the soil fat rat covered his nose and whimpered.
I look at my dirty hands, although they are protected by plastic gloves, but I can't continue to scratch my belly in this state, right? I crouched on the side of the boat and washed it with seawater.
During this time, I also looked at the sea, and I believe that I was right at that moment, there seemed to be something swimming in the sea, and it raised its head, pointed nose, grinning mouth, and a pair of sunglasses!
Of course, this may not be the right description or description, but it was my first instinct.
I also chatted with Jiang Shaoyan and the earth fat rat, and they came over to take a look, Jiang Shaoyan also took out the pistol on his waist and pointed at the sea.
But after such a delay, the thing swam away, and the sea became lifeless again.
The earth fat rat was a little scared, but he didn't expect him to be quite superstitious, and said to the two of us, "It must be sea ghosts, they are tourists because of shipwreck, or sailors who died accidentally, and they have resentment, and they are unwilling to come down to harm us." Monkey, you died too unjustly. ”
I have a negative attitude towards this view, and what do I say in my heart that the sea ghost is not a sea ghost? It must be a sea creature. Jiang Shaoyan and I looked at each other.
Jiang Shaoyan told me not to think about it, let's hurry up and autopsy, he wants to know as soon as possible the real reason for the death of the iron arm monkey.
We went back to the corpse. Jiang Shaoyan didn't plan to watch anymore, and came up to help me. He told me to make a slight cut, and he pressed his hand intermittently against the monkey's stomach.
Anyway, after a long time, a lot of air was squeezed out of his stomach, and his stomach slowly deflated.
When he couldn't squeeze out his breath anymore, Jiang Shaoyan felt that it was okay, and said to me, "Pull his belly away, I want to see the internal organs." ”
I said okay, and came up with another one-line knife technique, and also picked the sternum of the corpse.
The soil fat rat was scared, thinking about it, he was a sailor, and it was really embarrassing for him to see the human internal organs so closely. But he was also curious, and he had to come and take a look.
And the sailors on the ship also showed different expressions and stared down.
Not to mention how these people feel, I looked at the chest and abdomen of the iron arm monkey, and was stunned in disbelief for a while.
The most obvious thing is that his intestines have been broken in many places, his stomach has also been perforated, and as for his organs, liver and spleen, they are also broken.
I thought to myself, could this have been caused by some kind of weapon attack? But what kind of weapon is so powerful, and besides, what does the death of the iron arm monkey have to do with the unknown creatures under the sea that I just saw?
