Chapter 410: A Storm at Sea
readx;
Listening to the young master's words, Huo Lei's god was stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of decadence. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the ship under their feet is a large-tonnage cruise ship of Huojia Pacific Shipping, it is not a new ship in recent years, but an old ship more than eight years old that the company purchased from Europe during the economic crisis. Although it is not old as a civilian vessel, its hull is made of wood instead of the steel hull that has become popular now, so the hull structure is relatively fragile. Once you experience such a strong storm at sea, I am afraid it will be really difficult to persevere.
"Young master, we are all tied together, and if this ship can't hold on, we must ensure your safety first. Horay said solemnly.
"Okay, I see!" Looking at the look on Huo Lei's face, Huo Shan took a deep breath and agreed, he who knew Huo Lei's Xingge understood that he would not give in to this matter.
"Remember, if the ship sinks and we go to sea, we must first ensure the safety of the young master's life, understand?" Horay commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, I know!" The seven young internal guards around responded loudly, as the descendants of the Huo family army raised since childhood, loyalty is their highest code of conduct, so after hearing Huo Lei's words, the gods agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Huo Shan's heart was filled with a deep sense of emotion, and there was a faint crystal between his eyes, but as he inhaled deeply, he held them back. Originally, he wanted to say something thankful. But it is clear that at this time anything to thank is superfluous.
"Okay, let's go out!" Huo Shan's words at this moment carried obvious ups and downs.
"Touch!" turned the switch on the door, and the heavy wooden door was suddenly blown open by a strong wind. There was a dull crashing sound against the wooden wall.
The storm that poured in was mixed with the strong smell of seawater, and the already messy furnishings inside the cabin were completely turned into a mess!
"Bell ......!" The crisp bell that represents the situation has reached the most urgent moment, mixed with the panicked screams, crying, scolding and many other noises of the passengers, reached everyone's ears. But at this moment, Huo Shan can't take care of these things, and the most important thing for him now is how to take these people around him to survive this damn stormy weather.
"Let's go. Get out!" As he spoke, Horay clung to the thick plank in his arms and took the lead. Strode out against the wind that poured in.
Outside the cabin was a passage only about one meter and a half wide, but now it was filled with strong winds.
"What are you going to do, sir? Please go back to the cabin, for we are in a storm. It's dangerous on deck!" Just as Huo Shan and his group walked down the aisle to the deck. Two crew members dressed in blue and black sè nautical suits stopped them.
"Get out of the way, we don't want to sink into the sea with this ship!" Huo Lei said in a deep voice, although these two people belonged to the staff of the Huo family's Pacific Shipping, but they didn't know Huo Shan and Huo Lei, who were at the top of the Huo family.
"Sir......!" Just as the young crew was about to persuade again, there was a loud 'click' sound from outside the cabin, and the mast erected in the middle of the hull was blown off by the sea breeze, and then slammed heavily on the deck in the horrified eyes of everyone, making this large ocean-going cruise ship with a maximum displacement of more than 5,000 tons tremble. And Huo Shan and the others were even more violently trembling, and they were staggered. It became a rolling gourd.
"Quick, this ship can't hold on!" Ignoring the pain in his body, Huo Shan immediately got up from the ground and said loudly, because at the moment when the mast hit the deck just now, he clearly heard the cracking sound coming from deeper in the cabin. If his judgment is correct, I'm afraid the keel of this ship will not last long.
"Let's go!" Horay didn't hesitate, pushing away the crew members who had stopped in front of him, and prepared to go out of the aisle of the cabin.
"Wait!Everyone's put this on!" Huo Shan said as he picked up the inflatable lifebuoy hanging on the wall next to him and put it on his body. Seeing their movements, the internal guards next to them also did the same, and they all took a lifebuoy and put it on themselves. Huo Shan himself didn't expect that at this time, there was already an inflatable lifebuoy on the ship.
At this time, the other passengers in the surrounding cabins also heard their movements, and some even pushed open the door, stood in the aisle with the door frame, pointed at them, and said something from time to time.
However, Huo Shan can't take care of them now, and now he himself is fighting for his life again.
"Hey, are you guys going out?" Just as Huo Shan was about to take Huo Lei and them to the deck, a familiar crisp voice sounded from behind him with a hint of trembling.
"Miss, come back quickly, it's too dangerous there!" said the old voice, fluent in French. At this time, Huo Shan had already understood that the owners of these two familiar voices were the people of the Bourbon family that he had met on the deck in the afternoon.
When he turned around, sure enough, not far behind them, about 10 meters away from the cabin where they lived in Huoshan, wearing a white sè short-sleeved gauze skirt, his face was a little pale, with a hint of panic in his eyes, the cute girl Helen was looking at him with the door frame, and behind the girl, Emma, the old butler who was over half a hundred years old, was trying to get her back to the relatively safe cabin.
"Yes, the ship is about to sink! If you want to live, leave quickly!" After hesitating for a moment, Huo Shan turned around and walked out of the cabin aisle with Horay and the internal guards without looking back.
At this time, it was not the time for him to grow up with his children, the lives of the six internal guards around him and Huo Lei were all on him, and Huo Shan knew that he could not have the slightest hesitation now. So, after just reminding the Frenchmen, he walked out with his own people. As for how they choose, it's none of Huo Shan's business.
Walking out of the cabin, it is like entering two different worlds, in the dark night, you can hardly see your fingers, the violent wind rolls up to more than ten meters of huge waves rushing over, and the Fubo cruise ship with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons is thrown around by the sea like a toy in the hands of a child.
Holding the iron railing of the ship tightly, Huo Shan and his party lined up and moved step by step towards a slightly leeward place on the deck.
"Huo Lei, Ziqing, do you see that crooked mast? Let's go there!" Because the wind was too fast, Huo Shan had to shout loudly with all his strength so that the people around him could hear clearly.
"Young master, it's too windy there, it's too dangerous to go anywhere!" Huo Lei shouted loudly.
"I know, but the planks on us are so small that I'm afraid that if we get out on the sea and a wave hits, we won't be able to get out. ”
Hearing his words, Horley thought for a moment, then nodded heavily, turned his hand and untied a thick cable that was originally tied to the mast, and pulled it over, "Tie it to your waist, it's too windy there!"
Hearing Huo Lei's words, Huo Shan did not object, reached out and took the thick cable and wrapped it around his waist, and then handed it to Huo Zizhong beside him, and then the eight people tied it to a rope. After that, the eight of them grabbed the railing, dragged the rope, and moved little by little to the side of the mast.
Fortunately, the hurricane at sea has blown the broken end of the mast to the sea, but the side with the canvas was hooked by the rope on the superstructure of the cruise ship, otherwise I am afraid that the broken mast would have been blown by the wind and did not know where it fell.
"Click!" Just as Huo Shan and the others had just grabbed the thick mast, a clearer keel breaking sound came from inside the cabin.
"It's not good, the keel on the ship is about to break, let's shake this mast quickly and get it off the ship, otherwise we will sink with this ship!" Huo Shan shouted loudly, this time he was really in a hurry, if they didn't leave the ship now, then once the keel broke and the ship capsized, if there was another big wave coming, then they were likely to be swept into the sea by these huge waves, and whether they could float up again at that time really depends on the will of God.
"I shouted one, two, three, and everyone worked together to see if we could lift this mast. Horay shouted.
The eight of them, including Huo Shan, have been practicing martial arts since childhood, their bodies are strong, and their strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, especially Huo Lei's two arms are at least six or seven hundred catties, but because they have to resist the blowing of the wind, they have lost nearly half of their strength, but the eight young and strong people together are enough to shake this mast weighing thousands of catties.
"One, two, three, up!" Hooray shouted, and the half-broken mast was lifted up by them, but fortunately they were carrying it with the wind, otherwise they would not have been able to lift the heavy mast at all.
However, because it was a tailwind, just about a meter after the mast left the smashed hull superstructure, with a gust of strong wind, the sail that was bound to the mast suddenly loosened, and the blowing wind generated huge kinetic energy, carrying the Huo Shan eight people tied to the mast, like a light swift, suddenly left the cruise ship that had begun to slowly break, and fell towards the dark sea of the sea in the distance.
"Not good, young master!" Horley shouted in a frightened tone.
It turned out that at the moment when everyone fell into the sea, the cable tied to Huo Shan's waist didn't know if it was not tied tightly or for what reason, it suddenly loosened, and when it fell into the sea, it was at least more than fifty meters away from Huo Lei. But before they could come, a wave swept Huo Shan into the sea, and then the two could no longer see each other. )
