Chapter 398: Heading for the Nameless Island
Lin Erha successfully exchanged the military-level modified car for the help of the Snow Leopard Team, but Huo Chi always felt that everyone was taking advantage of the danger this time.
However, this is the way the world is, and it is impossible to get help from others without paying a price.
Lin Erha knew this very well, so he did not emphasize the responsibility of the Snow Leopard Team in this incident, but exchanged what they needed for their help, which had to make Huo Chi feel a little admired by him.
Next, Lin Erha went to the port, rented a small fishing boat with sails from the fishermen, and everyone packed up their supplies and waited until the evening to get on the boat together.
Just in case, Huo Chi brought two hornets with him this time, and it would be best to use them as scouts with small targets.
The small fishing boat headed towards the nameless island, and the sea was calm and there were hardly any waves. Huo Chi stood on the deck, quietly admiring the sunset that was about to sink into the sea in the distance, dyeing the sea and sky a golden red.
"It's beautiful. Su Qingqing walked to Huo Chi's side, the sea breeze was blowing in his face, but the two of them didn't feel the slightest chill.
"Yes, the sunset over the sea is the most magnificent. "Huo Chi has also seen the sunset by the sea before, but none of them can compare to this one.
"Three or four nautical miles to come, come back quickly. Qin Lang shouted from the cab: "Let's wait until it's completely dark before moving forward." ”
Huo Chi and Su Qingqing returned to the wheelhouse, Xiao Jian had turned off the ship's engine at this time, and the boat was quietly drifting on the sea, and the surroundings became silent.
The sunset was magnificent, but it finally sank into the sea, darkness shrouded the sea, Qin Lang and Xiao Jian raised the sails, and then the sea breeze and night continued to sail towards the nameless island.
"I was able to see the island. Qin Lang put down the binoculars and pointed ahead, "It seems to be a little bright." ”
Huo Chi nodded slightly, indeed, there is really a small island there, and there are definitely people on the island, because the light that Qin Lang said seems to be a few moving torches.
"Be careful, don't let them find us. Fu Ze put the sail away.
The light gradually disappeared, and it must have been around to the other side of the island, and Huo Chi felt that the owner of those torches was probably a patrolling pirate.
"Go ahead. Fu Ze adjusted the angle of the sails, but found that the boat barely moved: "Strange, am I adjusting in the wrong direction?"
"Let me do it. Xiao Jian walked out, fiddled with the sails a few times and said, "It's this angle, it's strange, the wind is not small, why doesn't the boat move?"
Huo Chi sniffed, and a faint bitter taste suddenly appeared in the salty sea breeze, isn't this smell from a horsetail bell?
Wouldn't it be? Encountered a horsetail bell in the pitch black sea? The small boat is not as powerful as the big ship, and it is entangled?
He hurriedly rushed out of the wheelhouse and looked out of the side of the boat, and something really climbed onto the boat!
"Captain, it seems to be a horsetail bell!" Huo Chi hurriedly turned his head and said, "We must start the engine quickly and get out of this place." ”
"What?" Fu Ze immediately ran out when he heard this, he picked up a harpoon casually and thrust it into the dark sea, he stirred his arms back and forth a few times, and then pulled hard.
Sure enough, some seaweed was wrapped around the harpoon, Fu Ze put the harpoon in front of his eyes and took a look, these are horsetail bells!
"Start the engine!" Fu Ze immediately ordered Xiao Jian: "Quick!"
"No, in case it's heard. Lin Erha wanted to stop Xiao Jian.
"Let's get out of here first, or we won't be able to get out of the ponybell!" Xiao Jian restarted the engine regardless of him.
However, although the engine was already running, the propeller at the stern of the ship stopped after two turns.
"The propeller has been entangled. Xiao Jian felt that things were not going to be easy.
"Damn! It's already close to that over there!" Lin Erha walked to the side of the boat, thinking about how to get out of the current predicament.
"Turn off the engine, I'll clean the propeller!" Lin Erha walked to the stern of the boat and jumped directly into the sea. His claws reached out from his fingertips and began to forcefully remove the horsetail bells that were wrapped around the propeller.
Xiao Jian turned off the engine and came to the stern of the boat with some worry: "Can it be done? Don't let them entangle you!"
"Hmm!" Lin Erha continued to clean up, but there seemed to be more and more horsetail bells in this sea area, and although Lin Erha was desperately cleaning up, he couldn't keep up with their growth speed at all.
Huo Chi could even hear the sound of a horsetail bell growing, a sound similar to that of a large number of fish moving through the sea, which sounded a little creepy.
Suddenly, Huo Chi felt the deck under his feet tilt sharply to the other side, he hurriedly grabbed the handrail, but found that the boat was even more tilted: "It's not good, the tail bell is going to overturn the ship!"
"Let's go to that side and stabilize the hull, Lin Tianhao, how are you cleaning up over there?" Fu Ze staggered to Huo Chi, trying to re-stabilize the fishing boat that was about to capsize with the others.
"No, uh-hmm-too much. "Lin Erha's body is also wrapped around hungry ponytails!
"Come here and press this side!" Huo Chi grabbed Su Qingqing, who almost fell into the sea, but the boat tilted even more.
It seemed like only a second, when the boat fell sharply and everyone fell into the water. The small fishing boats turned upside down.
Huo Chi only felt that the cold sea water had submerged him all at once, and all around him were horsetail bells except for water.
Huo Chi held his breath and tried to open his eyes, and to his comfort, the water was actually brighter than the surface. Moreover, the horsetail bells are concentrated on the surface of the sea, and there are many fewer underwater. This gave him the opportunity to move.
Backpack, gun! Huo Chi found that his equipment was not far away, so he broke free of the horsetail bells that were wrapped around his body and swam towards the sinking assault rifle.
Okay! Got you! Huo Chi grabbed the strap of the assault rifle and hooked his backpack with his foot, and when he grabbed both things, he found that Su Qingqing was trying to swim towards the sea.
Huo Chi also swam towards her with both hands and feet, and other people, including Lin Erha, also appeared in his field of vision, great, everyone is fine!
Just when Huo Chi breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly found that Su Qingqing, who was about to approach the sea, seemed to be pulled by something, and sank to the bottom of the sea suddenly!
Soon, not only Su Qingqing, but also the others were also pulled down! What's going on? Huo Chi was startled and hurriedly swam forward, but within a few meters, Huo Chi knew what was going on.
Why is there such a powerful undercurrent here, Huo Chi tried to break free from the control of the undercurrent, but even with a strength of +3, he still couldn't break free!
