The captain decided to use explosives to attack the deep divers underwater, using the only lifeboat they rescued. The person in charge of cruise ship engineering on the ship knew how to modify the detonator so that the explosives could explode underwater.
However, this task is very difficult and quite dangerous.
During the discussion, everyone's eyes were shaking, their expressions were solemn, and their hearts were shaken.
No one has ever seen a ghost ship with their own eyes, but just hearing the descriptions will tell you how terrifying the things under the water are.
Moreover, many people think this is a bad idea. What if explosives blow up the Northern Faith?
Someone soon raised concerns, but First Officer Clark calmed everyone down and told them that they had to do this. This was the only way to deal with the deep divers, because they could no longer control the course of the cruise ship.
The meeting turned into a quarrel, but in the end it was Chief Officer Clark and Captain Morgan who prevailed.
The crew had to take action. They got together and selected the five with the best water skills to get on the boat.
A piece of heavy diving equipment was sent up, which was previously used for underwater maintenance.
The wetsuits of this era were quite bulky. Victor had used one once before when he dived into Rose Lake, and the experience was terrible.
The sailors tinkered on the boat for a while, and then the crew members in diving suits jumped into the sea. The ropes around their waists and oxygen tubes on their heads prevented them from being thrown away by the cruise ship.
The speed of the ship has been very slow, and the underwater propellers have stopped rotating. Now the Northern Faith can still move forward, thanks to the weird deep diver dragging it along.
Not long after, the diver came up to the surface, said a few words to his companions, and then dived down again, repeating this process several times.
Mate Clark and Morgan on the deck were both nervous, with faces as straight as dead flesh.
For the last time, the sailor dragged the tightly wrapped explosives into the water, and the explosives were connected to fuses that had been treated with waterproofing.
Soon, however, he surfaced again, and the explosives in his hands were gone.
After taking off his helmet, the sailor's face was full of fear. He told everyone that he could not get close to the shadow at the bottom of the ship. It was too scary. The squirming things floating in the sea seemed to be dragging him into the abyss.
As for the explosive, he threw it directly underwater, and the other end was connected to the detonator on the boat, which was only about ten meters away from the deep diver.
At this time, the crew on the small boat made a stupid decision. They detonated the explosives directly, thinking that the shock wave would destroy or scare away the deep divers.
No one dared to dive down and move the explosives, so they adopted this perfunctory behavior.
The first mate and captain on the deck still didn't know what their subordinates would do.
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and turbulent water burst out from the side of the Northern Faith. The entire cruise ship shook, and the small boat was almost capsized.
Looking at the splash of water, First Officer Clark immediately understood that the explosive was placed in the wrong place. Their original plan was to place it at the bottom, that is, at the bottom of the Deep Diver, so that the Deep Diver would act as a buffer when the explosion occurred.
Minimal damage.
However, the guys on the lifeboat clearly disobeyed this order.
"What the hell are those bastards doing?" First Mate Clark cursed.
However, the matter did not calm down yet. Green insoluble matter floated up from the water and gradually surrounded the boat.
Mate Clark saw that those things looked familiar and secretly thought something was wrong.
Then, green things gradually emerged from the sea water and filled the sea surface.
After the crew members on the small boat came into contact with those things, their whole bodies felt as if they were being burned, and there were burn marks on their skin. They collapsed in the boat and rolled in pain. Only the crew member wearing a heavy diving suit did not suffer.
He screamed in fright, quickly put on a diving helmet, and made a shocking decision.
He drew out his knife and kept cutting the rope connected to the Northern Faith.
First Officer Clark was stunned and immediately realized what he was going to do.
"Duck! What are you doing? Are you leaving us all and running away?!"
His authority was no longer comparable to the fear in the diver's heart. Now he just wanted to leave the area around the Northern Faith quickly and leave this terrifying sea area.
After cutting for a long time, they only managed to cut a little bit. The crew searched around and finally found an ax. They swung it and started to chop at the rope.
"Bring me the gun!" First Officer Clark took the rifle from the person beside him and pointed it at the crew member. "Stop! Or I'll shoot!"
However, in the end, he did not have the heart to shoot his subordinate, and watched helplessly as the other party cut the rope and rowed the boat away from the Northern Faith.
Now there are green corrosive substances under and on the water near the cruise ship. No one dares to jump into the sea to recover the lifeboat.
Victor looked at Clark and found that his hands were trembling, his eyes were shaking, and there were tears in his eyes.
"I can't do it..."
He finally put down the gun, like a puppet who had lost his soul.
In fact, Clark's own heart was filled with fear, and he could well understand the mood of the fleeing crew.
However, he is the leader and the boss. If he cannot stabilize his mentality, then the people under him will really be doomed and everyone will fall into endless madness.
Once the ship crew starts to lose control, what will happen to the more than a thousand passengers?
Today's emergency requires someone to stabilize the situation.
But speaking of leaders, Captain Morgan, who was beside First Officer Clark, mysteriously disappeared at this moment.
Victor frowned. He had just focused on the boat and didn't notice Captain Morgan leaving the deck area at all.
"The captain has a problem..." Rianlong said in a very soft voice beside him, and only Victor could hear it.
The latter nodded, actually aware of it.
But now, we must first solve the problem of the Northern Faith and bring the cruise ship under control before we can deal with the internal troubles.
At this time, Rianlong suggested that he and Victor should act separately. He could go find Morgan by himself, while Victor stayed to help First Officer Clark deal with the Deep Ones.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, Victor already has a plan to deal with underwater things, and is waiting to use it when Clark, the first officer, is out of options.
Lianlong can't help much by staying here, so it would be a good choice for him to go find Captain Morgan first.
"No problem, but you have to be careful. I don't want the newcomer to die on the first night of contact with me."
"rest assured……"
After a brief exchange, the two took action.
On the other side, the situation has begun to shake.
Nowadays, all the lifeboats on the cruise ship have been released or damaged. This terrible situation will be discovered by passengers sooner or later.
First Officer Clark's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He was very scared. He was afraid that everything would be out of control. The Northern Faith became a battlefield. Fear swallowed everyone. People killed each other in order to vent their panic and death.
This is an unacceptable outcome.
At the critical moment when his mentality gradually collapsed, Victor finally stood up and gave him a dose of reassurance.
"It can be done without a lifeboat..." He interrupted, "Your first priority is to maintain order on the cruise ship. I just heard the shouting. Those passengers who are not staying in the room are unstable factors..."
"Without a lifeboat, how can we send the explosives underwater? The ropes and fuses are not that long." First Officer Clark gritted his teeth.
Victor held his hand on the railing and took off his hat, his red hair flying in the sea breeze.
"You can also use invisible techniques."
Upon hearing this, First Officer Clark was startled and his eyes widened.
Then, he saw Victor take out a crystal clear doll from his body, and then a black object came out from under his neck, completely wrapping the doll in it.
Holding a piece of yellow talisman paper between his two fingers, Victor grinned with a confident smile: "Homemade explosives, light, simple and pollution-free..."
