131. Get out of the ghost ship
I said, "Could it be that the electromagnetic radiation caused by lightning interfered with the work of the radar, so they didn't notice us?" ”
"It's impossible, otherwise how would the Coast Guard rescue a wrecked ship in bad weather? This area must be haunted. Before the words could be spoken, the hull shook, and then began to tilt, and we all fell to the deck in a hurry.
If a small fishing boat is torn apart by wind and waves because of a storm at sea, why does it cause the boat to capsize on a sunny sea? Although my body has not yet touched the sea, my heart has sunk to the bottom.
Not only the tilt of the hull, but also the sound of Kerala made from the whole hull, which was caused by the iron anchor rubbing against the hull, and all of us clung to the objects around us, and only one sailor said loudly: "When you sink into the water, you must take a deep breath, because the whirlpool caused by the sinking of the ship will drag you to the bottom of the sea, and when the time comes, you will try to swim as far as you can." ”
I smiled wryly, "I don't even know how to do what you said." "No one spoke, because everyone knew in their hearts that they might not be able to control themselves, let alone help others, when things got to this point.
I only felt that the hull of the ship was tilting more and more, and it seemed that it would not be long before the boat capsized, and I could only shout "Bodhisattva bless" in my heart, but I don't know if it was because my prayers worked, the hull suddenly returned to its original position, and then continued to move smoothly.
At this time, I was really confused by the second monk, tentatively straightened up slightly, did not feel the slightest obstacle, and stood up on the table again, and said, "This matter is over like this?" ”
A few sailors were also puzzled, and we calmed down for a while and walked out of the cabin, and immediately understood why that had just happened, the reason why the ship was tilting was not because it was about to overturn, but because it made a "sharp turn", and turned around and went back shortly after sailing out of the stormy sea.
Why is this happening? Could it be that there is an invisible traction force that prevents passing ships from getting out of its control and can only move back and forth through it? I said to the sailor, "We have to steer this ship, we can't let it float on its own, God knows where we're going to be taken?" ”
I reminded them of a word, hurried to the cockpit, but when I opened the door, I saw a highly decomposed corpse lying in the rudder, his two hands passed through the gap in the rudder, so he was hung up and could not fall to the ground, and the flesh on his face and body had rotted into a state of semi-pus, dripping on the deck, and the smell of rancid smell was right for us, and now I couldn't bear it anymore, so I turned my head and ran out and stood on the side of the ship and vomited until I spit out all the yellow bile.
I saw that the hull of the ship soon sailed into the thick fog, and I did not dare to walk around, and I firmly clung to the guardrail on the side of the ship and did not dare to move, and after a while I heard the sailor shout: "This ship cannot be started at all, and the start switch has failed." ”
I asked, "How did the ship turn around since it couldn't be started?" ”
"Who knows? It's a ghost ship at all. "The crew gave me the answer.
We are like helpless babies in this vast sea, we can only be left to God, but we are not lifeless, after all, there is still water and food in the boat, enough for us to last for a long time, and this place is not a complicated sea area, I am sure that there will be fishing boats not far from this boat, but there is no radio signal, we can't transmit information, but as long as we hold on for a while, we will definitely encounter boats.
Perhaps our bad luck finally came to an end, although we got on this ghost ship that could change its course by itself, but after this there was no storm, and the thick fog gradually dispersed at night, in order to avoid "haunting", we began to clean up the corpses on the deck and in the cockpit, although I knew that there was some unkindness but still threw them into the sea, but when I was cleaning up the wreckage in the cockpit, I looked carefully and asked Uncle Liao: "Uncle, do you see any of these dead corpses found?" ”
Uncle Liao said: "I felt something was wrong at the first glance when I first entered the cockpit, because this corpse has no clothes on it, and the body will rot, but the clothes will definitely not rot, so unless this person is driving a ship naked before he dies, there should be clothes on his body." ”
"Then there is the broken cockpit lookout hole and the recess on the opposite wall, judging from the obvious fracture on the exposed bones of the corpse, this person seems to have been thrown in from outside the cockpit with a great force, first he smashed the glass, and then hit the opposite wall, and the strong impact force bounced him onto the rudder, but the vertical distance between the cockpit and the deck was at least seven or eight meters, but the impact marks of this person flew in a straight line, Could it be that someone lifted him on the deck and jumped seven or eight meters high and threw him into the cockpit? I'm sure some people have this ability, but the question is why does this fishing vessel have the ability to have abnormal people? ”
Uncle Liao's analysis is very reasonable, I walked to the recess and stretched out my hand to press on it, and suddenly I only heard a crisp sound of glass, and then a bloody corpse flew in and crashed into this place and fell in front of the rudder, but there was also a thick fog outside the cabin, I couldn't see anything at all, I could only see this person lying on the ground as if he had been soaked in sulfuric acid and let out a creepy and painful moan, and soon died of exhaustion.
This person's death is terrible, I really don't know what terrible things happened on this ship, but the information that exists can only be what happened after this person came into contact, and if you want to understand everything that happened before, you have to come into contact with that highly decomposed corpse, I can't help but feel sick again, but even if I want to, I don't have a chance, because the corpse has been thrown into the sea.
Due to the power failure of the whole ship, we could not pump water and could only rely on iron buckets to hit the sea water to wash the blood stains on the deck and wheelhouse, and it was late at night when everything was done, although everyone was hungry, but no one could eat, after a while I saw an obvious light source flickering on the sea in the distance, and my heart was nervous, could it be that I encountered some monster again?
When several sailors saw this, they hugged each other excitedly and shouted: "The navigation beacon, I finally saw the navigation beacon." ”
Although the word "navigation" was not completely unfamiliar to me, I did not have a clear concept, so I asked, "What is a navigational beacon?" Why are you excited to see it? ”
"The buoys are markers in the waterway, and the most important thing to see them is to confirm that we are driving in a normal waterway, not in an inexplicable sea, and since it is a normal waterway, we will definitely encounter other ships."
I was secretly relieved to hear him say this, so I arranged for the sentry and us to take turns to watch the ships that we might encounter, maybe our bad luck was completely over, and at noon the next day, a sailor found the ship on the monitoring platform, and we couldn't communicate with it by radio, so we scratched our ears and cheeks urgently, and Uncle Liao said: "Find a leather chair and burn it on the deck." We did as we said, and soon saw thick black smoke rising into the sky, and the ship really noticed that we were turning, and the sailors immediately admired Uncle Liao and threw themselves to the ground.
Uncle Liao asked me with a smile: "The skewers have encountered so many things when they just went to sea, do you still want to find the yin monster of the son and mother?" ”
Although this trip to sea was full of difficulties and dangers, and even almost donated to the sea, but this is not an unacceptable situation for me, after all, I have also experienced many things in my life, which is already the norm for me, thinking of this, I firmly said: "I must find that jade pendant, otherwise these tribulations will be meaningless." ”
An hour later, the ship named "Endeavour" finally approached us, after setting up the pontoon bridge, we passed once, and after stepping on the Endeavour, I found out that this was actually a fishing boat, only to see the thick mechanical crane high erected in the stern, compared to the "Angry Leopard", the crane arm of this ship is thicker, and several sailors were excited and cried when they saw the approach of the freighter.
We were safely transferred from the battered ghost ship to the cargo ship via the plank bridge between the two ships, and we expressed our gratitude to the captain who greeted us with a group of sailors.
