Chapter 63: Fate hangs by a thread

"Return according to the route we came from." Qi Haotian carried Lin Weiyang to the captain's room. He looked forward, with the silhouette of the purple tanker reflected in his black pupils, and said coldly to the captain.

"But if this is the case, the time will increase a lot." The captain controlled the steering wheel and glanced at the compass. "According to the direction of the compass, we can turn south two nautical miles ahead. We can catch up before dark.

arrive."

"What if we follow the original route?" Lin Weiyang, who was being held in his arms, suddenly said.

"It's expected to be early in the morning..."

After hearing the captain's answer, she kept silent and waited for Qi Haotian's final answer. She knew it in her heart. He always had a sense of time and he didn't want to take a shortcut. But now, he didn't want to see the purple tanker for one more second.

, even for a second.

"Turn around." He said slowly for a long time, but there was an irresistible majesty in his slow tone. The captain looked at Qi Haotian's leaving Xin Chang's back, sighed, and finally said

The steering wheel made a 180-degree turn, the bow of the ship immediately began to change direction, the pointer immediately shifted, and the huge ripples caused by the rotation of the ship's hull were bright and clear under the sunlight.

Qi Haotian carried her into a room on the first floor of the tanker. The neatly arranged furnishings seemed to have not been used for a long time, but they were spotless. She stared at the slightly angry face, trying to break the gloomy atmosphere first, "

Where did this cruise ship come from?”

Qi Haotian ignored her, just put her gently on the bed, and sat down beside the bed. A pair of gentle and angry eyes fell tightly on her body, "What's going on?"

"I...I don't know what happened, but I suddenly got a big bang." She explained timidly.

"That won't make you faint."

"I'm sorry." She lowered her head to apologize, and then suddenly remembered something, "I was injured by a very sharp object, and too much seawater was poured into my nose."

"Wait, something sharp?"

She nodded and rolled up the sleeve of her arm, revealing a bright red wound. Due to the soaking of sea water, the surrounding skin and flesh tissue gradually rotted away with blood and white dead skin...

"Hold on, there are no doctors or medicines on the cruise ship." He stared at the wound and said calmly, but his heart felt so distressed. He stood up and pulled the quilt to cover her, pulled down her sleeves, and

and put it into bed.

The cruise ship has been sailing in the sea for more than three hours unknowingly. The western sky is dyed with fiery red sunset. The blazing sun is still giving its last moment of light, giving the beautiful and calm sea a layer of rose color.

Dark night is coming.

All four lights of the cruise ship were turned on, two at the top and two at the bottom. They quickly illuminated four pillars of light on the dark sea, both overlapping and illuminating a distance of about two hundred meters.

In the control room, the captain and three crew members paid close attention to all situations. Everything was smooth, fast and orderly.

Beep, beep, beep, three brief alarm bells were displayed on the screen of the machine that controlled the wind vane. The captain glanced quickly and said, "Attention, the wind direction has changed."

"Understood." With a uniform voice, the other three crew members immediately did the work at hand more seriously after receiving the order, closely monitoring each data.

The danger rate of sailing at night is much greater than that of sailing during the day, so the captain, who has extremely familiar experience, was very alert and held the steering wheel seriously for fear of making any mistakes.

"Captain, the wind direction is deflecting more and more," the report came from crew number two.

"Speed ​​up and keep moving forward."

"yes."

A few seconds later, a huge rumble came from the bottom of the tanker, as low as the roar of the god of night. Then, like an arrow off its string, the cruise ship quickly sailed forward, causing a violent shaking in the room.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Weiyang immediately sat up from the bed and held those warm hands, feeling a strong uneasiness in her heart.

They are all proud men in the business world, and Qi Haotian's keen perception gradually sensed the approaching danger. The wind on the sea blew violently, and the roaring sound produced was frightening.

"It's okay." He pulled away from her hand and said, "I'll go to the captain's cabin and take a look. Just stay there and don't move."

"Um!"

She nodded and wanted to explain something more, but Qi Haotian had already walked out of the door of the room. The sound of wind coming from the sea was mixed with the sound of sea langats flapping and chasing each other. She tried her best to calm down.

"The direction has completely shifted, and we are currently traveling against the wind." In the quiet captain's room, crew number two once again made a shocking report.

Seeing this, the captain, who had always been as calm as a mountain, seemed a little overwhelmed. Before he could think of the exact method, an extremely cold voice suddenly came out, "Increase the speed to the highest speed and turn around immediately."

Everyone turned around and was slightly startled. Do you know what this means? What kind of international joke are you kidding? Qi Haotian obviously saw through their thoughts. His arrogant voice raised a high pitch and said, "If you don't want to die, just do it for me."

The three crew members looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the captain. As a crew member, during the voyage, the rules must not be implemented without the captain's consent. At this last moment, the rules still stood.

There was silence in the captain's room. The captain looked at the constant changes in the data and his expression changed, "Quick, do what Mr. Qi said."

In just a moment, everyone immediately picked up the machine in their hands and started operating it. The captain quickly turned the steering wheel. Due to the strong wind, the bow of the ship did not change much.

"Keep turning the direction!" Qi Haotian looked at the overall situation, felt something bad, and shouted angrily in the silence.

In the hall, Lin Weiyang, his son, and Li Xiu'e happened to hear this sentence, steadied their feet, and immediately ran towards the captain's cabin.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the room?" He immediately felt the approach of the person behind him, turned around and glanced at Li Xiu'e, and pulled Lin Weiyang into his arms.

"I want to be with you, I'm not afraid of death."

The soul-stirring, fearless and cold female voice spread to every corner of the quiet cabin, and at the same time dispelled the fear in everyone's hearts.

"you…"

Before Qi Haotian's words of comfort could be spoken, another violent shaking came from the hull. The four operators sitting on the chairs only slightly tilted their bodies and it had no big impact, while Qi Haotian, Lin Weiyang and other people standing all moved back.

He fell down and hit the wooden pillar across the hatch.

The picture on the control screen kept jumping, and the No. 2 crew member immediately recorded and reported to everyone.

"The hull tilted 40 percent, and water began to enter the bottom tank."
