"The weather is so good, how can there be big storms?" Xiao Yingying muttered.
"Yingying, the weather in the sea is unpredictable. At this time, it is a clear sky with no wind and no waves, but it may be a stormy sea in the blink of an eye."
"You will find some seasickness medicine later, just in case you need it." Lu Zhiwen warned.
At this time, a tall white man wearing a white uniform and a beard was taking command on the deck.
"Tighten the cables everywhere and check carefully."
He is Haas, the captain of this freighter, a very experienced old captain.
"Captain Haas, do you need our help?" Zuo Xin asked.
"Thank you, Mr. Zuo. I just checked, and usually everything will be fine." Haas smiled and said, "Tell your people not to walk on the deck when there is a strong wind."
"Well, I've already informed you."
After a while, the sky became completely dark, and only a glimmer of light could be seen between the sea and the sky.
It was almost pitch black in the vast ocean, without any reference.
Navigating in the sea relies entirely on satellite navigation. Without navigation, it is easy to get lost in the endless sea.
Half an hour later, it became completely dark.
The dark night is like a big monster, and the large freighter looks unusually lonely and small. This feeling is very depressing.
Sure enough, there was already a light wind blowing outside.
Even if there is a small breeze, the feeling is completely different from that on land.
According to Haas, this is just an appetizer before the strong winds arrive.
Lu Zhiwen, Xiao Yingying, and Zuo Xin all stayed in their rooms.
Only in the cockpit of the freighter, the staff were on standby.
Because they knew that there were strong winds of level 8 or 9 behind them, and if they did not keep an eye on the point, it would be easy to deviate from the channel.
In fact, the crew members are accustomed to wind and waves.
Gradually, the wind outside became stronger and stronger, and the waves became higher and higher.
Lu Zhiwen, Xiao Yingying and Zuo Xin, who could still stand at first, could only lie on the bed.
Even if he is lying down, his body will still bump back and forth uncontrollably with the boat.
The sea breeze was blowing, and this terrifying power could be clearly felt in the room.
The whole ship was rocking back and forth, and the containers on the freighter were making creaking sounds.
Every wave would surge onto the deck, as if it were about to engulf the freighter.
Xiao Yingying turned pale because of this threat. She had vomited again and again, almost vomiting out bile.
Lu Zhiwen is not much better.
Under the power of God, this large cargo ship is very fragile, let alone the insignificant human beings.
"Zhiwen, will we die in this sea?" Xiao Yingying asked weakly.
"Don't think wildly, we will be safe." Lu Zhiwen encouraged the other party.
At this moment, he regretted taking the boat.
If I had known it would be so thrilling and miserable, I might as well have taken a direct flight.
Thinking of himself being displaced and struggling in the sea, while Qin Fan was sleeping comfortably somewhere.
There was even more resentment in Lu Zhiwen's heart.
He and Xiao Yingying were vomiting in the cabin, and Zuo Xin and the others were no better.
It was Dalle and his men who remained calm and composed.
This is due to Dalle's own physique and the fact that Dalle often goes to sea.
This strong wind blew all night and gradually subsided until about four o'clock in the morning.
Everyone finally fell asleep slowly while feeling dizzy.
Suddenly, the alarm bell sounded.
Wake up Lu Zhiwen and Xiao Yingying.
Immediately afterwards, someone knocked on the door urgently.
"Young Master, we encountered pirates!" This was Zuo Xin's voice.
pirate?!
Lu Zhiwen's brain suddenly woke up and he turned over and got up.
"Didn't his grandma say there are no pirates in this generation?!" He couldn't help but curse.
"Zhiwen, Zhiwen!" Xiao Yingying was so frightened that her face turned pale.
In various movies and TV series, she often watched pirate movies, which gave her the impression that pirates are gangsters who kill without blinking an eye.
"Don't be afraid. Just stay in the cabin and don't go anywhere."
Lu Zhiwen took out the pistol from under the pillow, loaded the bullet and walked out.
It was already bright outside, and the corridors on both sides of the freighter were in chaos.
On the water, there were four small speedboats shuttled back and forth, each with five or six people on board.
They carried submachine guns on their shoulders and a machine gun on the bow.
There is a large sail-like ship in the far distance, which should be the pirate's mother ship.
"Haas, Haas, let the crew pick up their weapons and prepare to resist!" Lu Zhiwen shouted.
"Mr. Lu, guns are generally not allowed on cargo ships. We have quietly equipped them with a submachine gun and a semi-automatic rifle."
"Holy shit, that's all there is to weapons!" Lu Zhiwen was so angry that he almost went crazy.
"Oh, the ship is also equipped with about a dozen water cannons, homemade Molotov cocktails and machetes."
"Haas, you take your people to one side, and I'll take mine to the other side." Lu Zhiwen said.
He thought for a moment and then shouted, "Uncle Zuo, how many weapons do we have?"
Zuo Xin ran over and said, "There are four pistols and the others are daggers."
At this time, Lu Zhiwen fully demonstrated the decisiveness of the hero.
He said: "Give two pistols to Haas and the others. Do you have any brothers among us who are more accurate in shooting?"
"Oh, Daler's marksmanship is pretty good."
"Okay, let Daler get the semi-automatic rifle." Lu Zhiwen turned back to Haas and said: "We have three guns on one side and we must not let them board the ship."
Haas naturally knows this very well. If pirates board the ship, they will face an even more miserable end.
He nodded, "Okay, let's do it!"
Zuo Xin immediately called Dalle and asked Dalle to get the semi-automatic rifle.
Those without weapons would work in groups of three, set up water cannons, and attack with water cannons whenever the speedboat approached.
The remaining people were ready to throw Molotov cocktails.
Just as we were getting ready, there was the sound of machine gun fire.
Bullets flew over everyone's heads, obviously the pirates were intimidating the people on the ship.
But it also means they are ready to board the ship.
Far away in Haizhou, China, Qin Fan had dinner at his brother Qin Fei's house last night.
The two brothers drank a lot of wine.
When he woke up, he found that both Qin Fei and his sister-in-law Huang Fang had gone to work, and a note was left on the table.
It was left by my sister-in-law Huang Fang, saying that breakfast was in the kitchen.
After Qin Fan washed up, he had breakfast and went to Haizhou Medical Center.
When I walked into my office, before I could sit down, a phone call came through.
I picked it up and saw that it was Yuan Chengzhong's phone number.
The other party has been transferred to the province and is now the deputy governor in charge of culture, education, and medical and health.
Although he is the last one in the team, it is still a big step forward.
"Mr. Qin, you didn't even give me a call when you returned to Haizhou?"
Qin Fan didn't know how the other party knew that he had returned to Haizhou.
Then he smiled and said: "Vice Governor Yuan, I know that you are busy with official duties, so I don't dare to disturb you rashly. I also said that I would visit you before I leave."
"Hahaha, don't say it's time to leave. I'll ask the secretary to pick you up now." Yuan Chengzhong said.
Qin Fan was startled, "Vice Governor Yuan, do you have something important?"
"Yes, I was worried. I called Dean Qian this morning and he said that you had returned to Haizhou."
"I am shameless enough to invite you, a great national player."
Qin Fan understood that Qian Guangqineng knew that he was returning to Haizhou, and it was probably his sister-in-law Huang Fang who told them.
