Just as Ning Chi said, no matter how attentively Mei Qian listened, he did not feel any unusual movement on the two ships opposite.
But for the sake of safety, after Ning Chi started the fishing boat and approached, he still threw the grenade found from the corpse into it.
There was only the sound of explosions, no panicked footsteps, and no screams. It seemed that all the killers had been wiped out.
After that, Ning Chi did not patiently wait for rescue to arrive as planned. Instead, he took the initiative to board another fishing boat and began to search for all available things.
In addition to ammunition, food, and drinking water, a paper chart was also found.
"It's strange, these people don't bring satellite phones when they go to sea?" Ning Chi kicked a bunch of things at his feet, his face full of disappointment.
Because the two searched all the ships and corpses, but they couldn't find a tool that could communicate with the outside world.
"It may be that something is wrong and it may be thrown into the sea or destroyed." Mei Qian was standing nearby. Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to do anything.
There were actually five mobile phones in the system warehouse. He had tried them one by one while Ning Chi was away, but unfortunately they all had no signal.
But when he was about to help, he saw Ning Chi picking up a pistol. After checking it, he handed it to him with a serious expression.
"Keep it for protection." Ning Chi grinned.
Mei Qian blinked, took it and put it in his trouser pocket.
Watching the other party take out two backpacks and start carefully sorting the materials on the ground, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Obviously, even though he said it lightly, Ning Chi had already begun to prepare for the worst case scenario when faced with an unknown situation that he could not control at all.
The firearms and ammunition were sorted quickly. After putting away a few grenades, the silver-white box was put into the backpack.
However, the broken arm locked on it had been removed by the two of them.
I don't have time to figure out how to open it now, so I can only carry it with me temporarily.
It was also a coincidence that everything happened to fill two backpacks, leaving only the charts spread out on the ground, and Ning Chi almost fell down.
Seeing the other person's fingers constantly sliding on the map, looking at the compass on the mechanical watch on his wrist from time to time, and mumbling something to each other, Mei Qian moved closer to him out of curiosity, but he couldn't even understand the numbers and symbols densely marked on the chart.
Ning Chi definitely didn't know how to explain, and he didn't want to disturb the other person's train of thought, so he could only retreat in silence.
On the sea, fishing boats are of course not as stable as cruise ships.
Just now during the fierce battle, he didn't feel anything. Now that he was free, he immediately felt the bumps around him. Even with his physical fitness, he felt uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but look outside. It turned out that at some point, dark clouds began to cover the sea, and the waves had already hit the deck.
got windy.
He turned around and stared at Ning Chi who was obsessed with research for a while. He sighed helplessly and could only find a place to sit down and wait for the answer with peace of mind.
After about ten minutes, Ning Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly straightened up.
"How is it?" Mei Qian asked quickly.
"It's okay, I basically understand it." Ning Chi smiled, then thought about it and added: "I didn't expect that the maritime positioning I learned out of curiosity can be used now."...
Mei Qian was not in the mood to study where he learned sea positioning. He glared at the other party angrily and asked again: "Should we run away or stay here and wait for rescue?" As he said this, he turned his head and motioned for the other party to look outside.
When Ning Chi heard this, he turned his attention to the outside of the boat. He couldn't help but froze and murmured: "So fast?"
Mei Qian sighed: "Yeah, it's going to be bad this time."
In fact, the route of the Beidou Star has always been direct from Shanghai to Dongka. The reason why it suddenly had to stay in Dongka overnight was because it received a strong wind warning at sea and changed the direction for safety.
I just didn't expect that the wind started blowing on the sea before the time in the forecast came.
This kind of wind force is nothing to a large cruise ship, and it can only bump a little bit.
But what they are traveling on now is an ordinary small fishing boat with poor wind resistance...
The two looked at each other, and Ning Chi started the fishing boat without saying a word, and began to turn slowly according to the compass in his hand.
His movements were unusually quick: "In this case, we can't wait for rescue. The nearest one is Dongka Country, so we can only dock first." As he said, he chuckled and said in a relaxed tone: "This ship, why can't we wait for rescue?
Faster than a cruise ship!”
Mei Qian didn't raise any objection. After all, he couldn't sail a boat at sea. Ning Chi had more skills and was more professional than him, so he could only support it.
However, I don't know whether it was because he took the initiative that Ning Chi was distracted, or because he thought that someone like him, Mei, couldn't carry the knife.
While the boy was sailing the boat, he actually made fun of his boss.
"Brother, I'm not telling you, you are really a broomstick as others say. There are all kinds of disasters in the country. You are about to leave! There is a war in Ukraine. You will be attacked by missiles when you go to Japan. It is not easy to be safe, but you encounter another accident.
It's a storm..."
Mei Qian thought for a while and was speechless.
But he would never admit defeat, and immediately said: "Seeing that you are still useful now, I will let you be arrogant for a while." After that, he sneered twice.
Ning Chi: "..."
He immediately stopped talking, smiled, and started sailing the boat seriously...
——
In the summer capital, it has rained for three consecutive days, making local residents a little uneasy, fearing that last year's long rainy days will come again.
But Mei Qiandu went south, and some people even said that he went abroad. No one can take the blame for this.
Fortunately, early this morning, the dark clouds dissipated a lot, revealing the rare sunlight, which made people put down their worries.
The same goes for Meimei, the proprietress of Meimei Nail Salon. She has been in a particularly good mood since the morning.
No customers came to the door on Monday, so I turned on the TV and started my daily routine of watching dramas.
However, as soon as I saw the exciting part, the bell rang and someone opened the store door.
When she saw the visitor, she smiled and said, "Maomao, why are you free today? You don't have to work?"
"Brother Qian goes abroad, and I am free." The visitor smiled heartily and sat across from her. It was Mei Qian's assistant and manager, Miss Mao Mao.
"I really envy your job. The salary is high and the benefits are great. The boss is kind and doesn't get offended at all." Meimei hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over.
Maomao was happy in her heart, but she said: "No, my boss is very trouble-making, you don't know it."
"Then you get promoted to the boss's wife and take care of him." Meimei smiled again, but was immediately given a blank look by the other party.
She was about to joke a few more words, but she heard a "pop" sound, and the paper cup and the hot water spilled onto the floor.
She couldn't help being stunned, and quickly turned around to follow the other person's gaze.
The TV set on the wall was no longer playing TV series, but was instead showing a piece of news.
"...The Big Dipper luxury cruise ship from Shanghai to Japan has lost contact..."
