"Hurry, a little faster, it's just a little bit closer..."
The moment Qin Feng let go of the rope, everyone on the cruise ship held their breath. Even Tang Jun, who was rowing to rescue Lao Cai, stopped rowing and stared closely at Qin Feng's figure.
"Push forward!"
While in mid-air, Qin Feng had already discovered that due to the rope falling off, the force that threw him out was not enough to get him out of the whirlpool area.
After taking a deep breath, Qin Feng's fallen figure suddenly lifted up a few feet and rushed forward another seven or eight meters.
He was only four or five meters away from the calm and safe area, but Qin Feng reached the end of his breath, and his body fell into the whirlpool uncontrollably.
"Brother, you must hold on!"
Bai Zhentian, who had seen Qin Feng's water floating skills, couldn't help shouting loudly. He knew that with Qin Feng's skills, he could enter a safe sea area with just a little help.
Not only Bai Zhentian thought so, but Qin Feng, whose body was about to touch the water, also thought so. As long as he gave him a little help, Qin Feng was sure to cross the distance of four to five meters.
"Huh? No, how could this happen?" But when Qin Feng's right foot touched the water, his expression suddenly changed and he could no longer maintain his usual calmness.
Because Qin Feng discovered that the water under his feet was flowing rapidly like a huge whirlpool. As soon as Qin Feng's toes touched the water, his body was pulled sideways and fell down.
In this situation, let alone using force, Qin Feng could not even maintain his balance. When his body tilted, his whole body was sucked into the whirlpool.
The water flow in this whirlpool was so rapid that almost at the moment Qin Feng's body collapsed, his figure was swallowed up by the whirlpool and disappeared without a trace.
"Qin Feng!"
Bai Zhentian, who was on the cruise ship, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He didn't expect that just when Qin Feng was about to successfully escape the whirlpool, such a change would happen?
Bai Zhentian reluctantly held up the telescope in his hand and kept searching for the place where Qin Feng disappeared. He hoped to find Qin Feng again.
But everything Bai Zhentian did was in vain.
Because at this moment, the fishing boat had been stirred to the bottom by the whirlpool. The huge fishing boat was swallowed up by the whirlpool, let alone a person?
"How could this happen? How could this happen..."
Bai Zhentian put down the telescope in his hand with a pale face. He couldn't believe that his old friend lost his life like this.
Bai Zhentian shouted a little lost his temper: "Send another helicopter over and we must rescue Qin Feng!"
Although he and Qin Feng had not known each other for a short time, Bai Zhentian had inherited a great favor from Qin Feng, and this trip to sea was specially invited by Bai Zhentian. After this happened, the guilt in Bai Zhentian's heart was simply indescribable.
"Uncle Bai, the magnetic field at that vortex is too strong, and the helicopter may not be able to pass..."
Bian Hong, who was standing next to Bai Zhentian, gave a bitter smile. He had known Bai Zhentian since he was wearing crotchless pants, and he had never seen him lose his temper like this before.
However, Bian Hong couldn't let Bai Zhentian let his own people die, because he had just used the instruments on the ship to test that a super strong magnetic field had been formed around the vortex.
Although the magnetic field is a special substance that cannot be seen or touched, anyone with a little common sense knows that all electronic equipment will lose its effectiveness near a strong magnetic field. Flying a helicopter there at this time is called seeking death.
"Let Tang Jun row faster and see if he can find Brother Qin!" Bai Zhentian sighed. For the first time in front of nature, he felt the insignificance of human power.
"Hey, Uncle Bai, the whirlpool seems to have become smaller." After conveying Bai Zhentian's order, Bian Hong, who was staring at the whirlpool, let out an exclamation.
"It's getting smaller, and it's constantly shrinking..." Someone nearby also noticed the changes in the vortex.
"In another minute or two, this vortex will disappear."
Zhang Bao, who was the only one who had seen this kind of scene twice, shook his head and said: "Brother Bai, Brother Qin is probably very unlikely to survive. I think... we'd better deal with his aftermath..."
Zhang Bao once saw with his own eyes that the cargo ship with a displacement of up to 5,000 tons was swept into the seabed by the whirlpool. Afterwards, he searched for several days at the incident site and did not find even a single survivor.
So after witnessing Qin Feng disappearing on the sea, Zhang Bao didn't think that Qin Feng could survive in this situation at all, fearing that even his body would not be found.
"Fart, brother Qin, how could he die so easily?" Bai Zhentian glared at Zhang Bao, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Turn around the bow of the ship and sail towards the sea area where the accident occurred..."
"Mr. Bai, I refuse your order..."
The captain's voice came over the intercom, "I am responsible for the safety of all passengers on the ship. I will not let the ship approach that sea area without ensuring absolute safety..."
"President, the captain is right." Bettina, who still had a look of shock on her face, said, "Qin Feng has probably been killed. We can't bury the whole ship with him."
"I know!"
Bai Zhentian seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden. He waved his hands feebly and said, "Send out a few more speedboats and wait until the vortex disappears to carry out full rescue operations..."
Bai Zhentian spent most of his life in fighting. His tenacity was far beyond that of Bettina and others. It was only Qin Feng who died too young that made Bai Zhentian so heartbroken.
"Bian Hong, don't tell me that what happened just now was not recorded!" After calming down, Bai Zhentian turned to look at Bian Hong.
"Uncle Bai, I recorded it all, not a single thing was missed..." Bian Hong replied.
Bai Zhentian nodded and said: "Delete the scene of Qin Feng falling into the water, and send the rest to the United States so that those in the research institute can figure out the origin of this whirlpool as soon as possible..."
Hongmen has cooperated with research institutes of many universities in the United States. If videos of natural phenomena like this were released, many scientific research departments would be interested, perhaps including the United States.
"Disappeared, completely disappeared..."
Just when Bai Zhentian gave the order, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the deck. Everyone who had been watching the whirlpool closely discovered that after about twenty minutes of formation, the whirlpool finally disappeared on the sea.
The sea area where the sharp tsunami sounded just now has become calm now. No one can imagine that just a moment ago, a fishing boat was swallowed here.
"Uncle Bai, the strong magnetic field has disappeared." Bian Hong, holding a surveyor in his hand, also discovered that the magnetic field that filled the sea area had completely disappeared.
"Put down a speedboat, I want to go there..."
Bai Zhentian threw down the telescope in his hand and walked towards the stern of the ship. He still didn't believe that Qin Feng, who always seemed to be omnipotent, would die in this place?
"President..."
"Bettina, let Uncle Bai pass."
Bian Hong stopped Bettina and said: "Master Qin has made a lot of contributions to Hongmen, and he has an old relationship with Uncle Bai's family. I'm afraid he won't be reconciled until he sees Master Qin's body with his own eyes..."
The fact is as Bian Hong said, after detecting that the sea area was completely normal, Bai Zhentian issued the order to "see people alive or dead".
In addition to carrying out search and rescue work on the cruise ship in the sea area where the accident occurred, Bai Zhentian also used private funds to invite two maritime search and rescue and salvage teams from the United Kingdom and the United States, which are now heading for the Strait of Malacca.
----------------------------------
"Master Bai, I...I don't know anything. Master Qin and I both drank too much..."
The first mate, Lao Cai, didn't know whether he was hungover or frightened. After being rescued, he fell asleep for a whole day. When Bai Zhentian came to him, Lao Cai still looked frightened.
"Before that vortex formed, you were drinking all the time?"
After hearing Lao Cai's words, Bai Zhentian couldn't help but smile bitterly. If the two of them were not drinking, Qin Feng would probably have escaped this disaster.
He personally presided over the search and rescue work for a day. To be honest, even Bai Zhentian had lost hope of Qin Feng's survival.
Because not even a single plank of the fishing boat was found in the sea area where the accident occurred, let alone a living person like Qin Feng. After being sucked into the seabed, he had no chance of survival at all.
"I just told you that yellow-lipped fish cannot be eaten."
Lao Cai slapped himself hard in the face and said, "It's all my fault for not persuading Mr. Qin. If you eat that food at sea, you will be punished by God..."
People who go to sea have always been superstitious. Lao Cai didn't understand any natural science, so he blamed the cause of this incident on the yellow-lipped fish.
"Okay, you can go out!" Bai Zhentian waved his hand and drove Lao Cai out, who still smelled of alcohol.
"President, there is no point in continuing the search and rescue." Tang Jun walked in with a tired look on his face and said: "If he was sucked into the whirlpool under those circumstances, Master Qin would probably be in danger..."
When Tang Jun said the words "bad luck" or "bad luck", he was already worried about Bai Zhentian's feelings. Otherwise, these four people would definitely die. Anyone who witnessed that scene would not believe that Qin Feng could still survive.
.
"The American salvage ship will arrive the day after tomorrow. Before then, you should expand the search and rescue scope."
Bai Zhentian shook his head and said: "Aren't those ships all swept to the bottom of the sea? No matter what method is used, I will see the wreckage of those ships. Before that, it can only be defined as Qin Feng's disappearance..."
For some reason, Bai Zhentian always felt that Qin Feng should still be alive, because his old man was proficient in the art of physiognomy and once said that Qin Feng was not a sign of a person who died young. (To be continued...)
