Chapter 740
Everyone stood on the side of the ship and felt that the sinking speed had almost stopped. However, after a long time, they discovered that the sinking speed had not completely stopped, but had been slowed down to a great extent.
At the same time, everyone also saw that the big ship they were originally on was sinking rapidly toward the muddy seabed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This scene scared many people to tears. The sailors were wailing bitterly, as if they were regretting their stupid decisions. Lin Song looked around with a dark face, silently, and then said to Princess Irene: "
Your Highness, don’t worry, we still have a good chance of getting through it."
Princess Eileen was much calmer than Lin Song imagined. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid at all."
Time passed little by little, and after about an hour, the big ship became completely silent. Although everyone knew that the big ship was now much more dangerous than the lifeboat. But in the vast sea, people instinctively felt a sense of dependence on the big ship.
, when the big ship completely disappeared, everyone felt a little empty, and despair gradually spread among the crowd.
But now everyone can do nothing but try to stay quiet, just like a person trapped in a swamp, trying to buy more time through silence, slow down the speed of his sinking, and give himself more chances of survival.
Time passed slowly, and it was almost night time. Tonight, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no moonlight at all. Lin Song asked Liam to find a way to turn on all the lighting equipment.
Now the light has almost no real effect. Even if there are ships passing by, they will never dare to come close to rescue. But at this time, the light can give people the last trace of psychological sustenance, otherwise Lin Song really
I am afraid that someone will commit suicide out of despair at night.
It was almost midnight. Everyone was extremely nervous before and now they were a little sleepy. Lin Song said: "Everyone doesn't have to wait any longer. Go to sleep. The rest will be left to fate."
The extreme sleepiness caused several people to fall into light sleep, but even so, they only opened their eyes after sleeping for more than ten minutes. No one could really sleep peacefully at this time.
Everyone is afraid that when they fall asleep, they will be awakened by a cry of despair, and then look at the white and muddy seabed around them, and be submerged in the mud in despair.
However, perhaps it was tempered by the sky, and finally the three lifeboats persisted. A few hours later, when a glimmer of light appeared on the eastern sea level, a sailor who had fallen asleep shouted in surprise: "Water
!It’s water! The water is back!”
Lin Song looked under the side of the ship and was also surprised to find that a thin layer of seawater, about ten centimeters deep, had appeared above the muddy seabed.
Although the sea water is only about ten centimeters, it already means that the ebb tide has ended, and the sea water is gradually coming back, returning to this maritime cemetery with the buoyancy that everyone has longed for! They have survived the last wave.
A dangerous time!
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. After about an hour, the seawater was almost reaching the side of the ship. Only then did Lin Song react: "Cut it off! Cut off all the surrounding plates and pipes. When the seawater comes back, these things will
It has become a burden.”
The sailors reacted and hurriedly separated the lifeboat from the two 'flying wings' on the side of the ship. Soon, the lifeboat floated with a splash.
"Don't worry, we'll wait for about half an hour until the seabed in the surrounding sea area is covered with sea water before we set off!" Lin Song said.
In fact, after only more than twenty minutes, the tide of the seawater accelerated a lot, and the surrounding seafloor was completely submerged by the seawater. Lin Song gave an order: "Paddle! Get out of this place!"
Soon, everyone paddled frantically, and the three lifeboats quickly left the maritime cemetery. When everyone looked back, they felt as if they had just woken up from a nightmare.
Princess Eileen, who was originally calm, suddenly burst into tears and hugged Lin Song: "Lin! Thank you, we persevered! We really persevered! I was really worried that we couldn't persevere.
!”
Lin Song smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, please don't be too eager to be happy now. We haven't reached the time to relax yet. Now that there is no big boat, we have lost power and can only rely on manual oars. You must know that we are very close to each other.
The island is still several hundred kilometers away. Look at the weather ahead. Although there is a rising sun in the east, dark clouds are nearby, and a storm may hit soon."
After taking a look, Liam said: "Yes, we are not relaxed yet. Let's hurry back to the main channel and try to find the big ship as soon as possible. Only then will we be truly saved."
Having just escaped death from the sea cemetery, everyone was in high spirits and rowing the oars hard. The captain seemed to want to atone for his sins and used the navigation equipment at the front to guide everyone.
In the evening of the next day, a ship finally appeared on the sea level. The captain immediately fired a signal flare to call for help, and the ship quickly approached here.
When the ship approached, everyone discovered that it was a small gunboat with soldiers on it wearing the uniforms of the Boca Navy. When they approached the boat, the people on the boat asked anxiously: "Are you na5001?"
Survivors of the ship?”
The so-called na5001 is the number of the ship that everyone was on before. The captain shouted loudly: "It's us! Her Royal Highness Princess Irene is on the ship! Save us!"
The gunboat stopped immediately, put down the rope ladder, and everyone climbed up the rope ladder. Standing on the deck, a major captain on the gunboat bowed to Princess Eileen and said: 'Your Highness, we have received news. There is radar detection.
The ship you are on has entered the maritime cemetery, and we are here to rescue you. God bless you and be safe.
But why did you enter the sea cemetery? Normally, your crew should be experienced crew members...'
The captain lowered his head and was about to confess his crime. He heard Princess Eileen say: "There was a problem with our navigation equipment, and they couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, I'm back safely now, thanks to the cooperation of these crew members."
