And because of the giant's attack, the progress of ship repair has been delayed!
Although the giants retreated to the beach in defeat, they managed to delay the repair work for half a day. Langdon called the second officer Zeke to learn about the progress of the repairs.
"The morning was delayed due to the giant's attack. According to the original plan, several key parts should be repaired before dark, and then the ship could be sailed to the open sea tomorrow morning, but now it seems that it will have to be delayed until noon tomorrow!
" Zeke replied.
Langdon said: "You should arrange for the repair crew to start work immediately. The first mate will arrange for the lookouts to go to the mast and use binoculars to monitor the movements of the giants on the shore. We can't just wait. Now we must seize every opportunity to get the ship to the open sea as soon as possible.
go!"
Langdon continued: "There are still more than 30 giants in this tribe, which will not pose a threat to us, but they must have sent out scouts to find helpers from other tribes! You can deduce this by looking at the logs piled up on the beach!
We can't estimate when those reinforcements will arrive, so time is running out now! You ask them to speed up and deliver the food to the work station, and don't stop for a moment!"
Zeke nodded and immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Kate said: "I think the giants on the shore will probably attack in the afternoon or night! Their operations of building rafts have not stopped, so the repair work should continue when the giants attack! Long-range combatants should try to prevent the rafts from getting on
The giant is affecting the repair work!”
Langdon nodded and said, "You're right! Just deal with it like this. I'll call the combatants over later and explain the situation to them!"
At this time, Steven said: "Captain Langdon, Kate, we have to be careful about those long-tailed wolf monsters! They seem to have very sensitive tracking capabilities! After the exploratory attack in the morning, the chief must also know very well, just based on their
It is impossible for dozens of people to attack the Twin Fin Shark! So he will definitely try to sneak attack at night, and those monsters may be able to find our position at night!"
Langdon nodded solemnly and said, "What you said makes sense! Steven, but how can we fight in the dark environment at night? If the giants are allowed to touch the ship, it will be a disaster!"
Steven said: "We must avoid fighting giants at night! But if they can find the Twin-fin Shark with the ability of the long-tailed wolf monster, it will be hard to say! Then we will have to face the opponent boarding the deck
situation!”
Kate said from the side: "Captain, what Steven said makes sense! What we can't grasp now are those monsters! Steven and I have seen their abilities. Their sense of smell and hearing are very keen! And they can be in the water.
Swimming flexibly, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not track the position of the Double Fin Shark at night!"
Langdon's frown deepened and he asked, "What can you do?"
"I suggest lighting torches and all gas lamps at night to continue construction! Try to get the ship to the open sea before midnight, and take advantage of the calm sea during this period to quickly repair the remaining parts and leave here!" Steven said.
Langdon said: "But if there is a light source at night, the giants will have a clear target! They can just paddle the raft over and attack! How will we fight them then?!"
Steven: "I have a plan! We must delay their attack! Kate and I will go to the shore to sneak attack their camp! Delay them and prevent them from having free time to attack the Twin Fin Shark!"
"No! This is too dangerous! I don't want to lose you!" Langdon was about to deny this plan.
Kate said: "But this method is feasible! Captain Langdon! You may have underestimated Steven's combat power! We will not rush into danger when the situation is unclear, so you can rest assured! Now we just need to discuss what to do
Send us to the beach without being discovered by the giant, and how will we get back to the ship after we complete the task!"
After hearing this, Captain Langdon still shook his head and disagreed with this plan. He thought it was too risky.
The two men explained to him that they were very capable of fighting and that the night would not affect their fighting ability. After repeated requests, Langdon had no choice but to agree to their request.
Langdon took out a piece of brown paper and spread it on the wooden table. He used a pencil to draw the outline of the coastline, the location of the Twin Fin Shark and the beach camp on the paper. He raised his head and said to the two of them: "If you want to avoid being discovered by the giant,
, we must go ashore from here, and only after dark!”
He drew a circle at a location east of the beach camp and continued: "I have observed the topography of the coast before. There is a hillside here, surrounded by dense woods. The distance to the beach camp is about 500 meters, which is very suitable for you to climb up.
The beach, and the north side of the hillside can block the view of the camp. I will send a rowing boat to take you there after dark. Steven, can you find this hillside in the dark? "
Steven: "No problem at all! I will guide the sailors in the direction, and we will row back from where we were after completing the plan."
Langdon called the senior officials on the ship and announced the plan. After discussing all the details of the plan, the participants began to make preparations.
In addition to the swords and hunting bows that Steven and Kate were equipped with, he also brought a few pounds of kerosene in a sealed leather bag. He put the matches in his coat pocket and carried the leather bag on his back. Kate also brought a
Telescopes and more are no longer easy to carry.
The afternoon passed quickly, and the sun slowly set towards the sea level in the west. Steven was on the deck with a telescope observing the giant tribe outside the beach camp on the shore. They had made 7 or 8 rafts and were still making them.
The finished rafts are stacked next to neat piles of logs.
Most of the monsters that Steven calls long-tailed wolves are swimming in the sea outside the beach. They are constantly bringing fish from the sea to the shore. Two giants are carrying wooden buckets to collect fish on the beach. These monsters
The hunting efficiency is very high!
Soon after dinner, it got dark and all the lights on the ship were extinguished.
At this time, Steven, Kate and several sailors were already sitting in the wooden rowing boat. The rowing boat was lowered from the side of the boat with its back to the beach before dark. They took advantage of the daylight to get down from the rope ladder.
Arrived on the rowing boat.
Joey's team volunteered to be the oarsmen of the rowing boat. They were responsible for sending Steven and Kate to the hillside, where they waited for Steven to return to the Twin Fin Shark after completing the plan.
Steven sat at the bow and Kate sat at the stern. After giving the order, the sailors began to row. Following the direction guided by the target that Steven saw in the telescope, the rowing boat circled the bow of the Double Fin Shark.
, paddling towards the hillside.
As the sun set over the sea, the clouds in the sky began to gather. The crescent moon and stars that had just risen were obscured by thick clouds. The wind on the sea also began to strengthen. Amid the undulating waves, the rowing boat quickly headed towards the direction under Steven's command.
Coast target crossed out.
A few minutes later, the rowing boat approached the beach. The hillside was clearly visible in Steven's night vision. The hillside was surrounded and covered with dense forests, and there were dozens of coconut trees growing on the side facing the beach.
