Yu Hanjiang was wearing an invisibility cloak and immediately ducked into the house the moment the cabin door was blown open by the wind.
The captain and the deputy captain were anxiously checking the equipment on the ship. The ear-piercing "didi" alarm kept ringing in their ears. The young deputy captain's voice trembled and said, "Captain, there is no signal, and we can't contact the shore."
The captain said solemnly, "Continue to call the rescue center, we need emergency support."
A red warning icon appeared on the LCD monitor screen in front of me. The hull had tilted severely. The mechanical sound was frantically prompting "navigation system failure", "communication system failure" and "warning. The center of gravity of the cruise ship is too low, and the tilt angle exceeds 40 degrees."
, there is a risk of overturning, please correct it as soon as possible.”
The color drained from the old captain's face.
Outside the window, a huge wave nearly 50 meters high is getting closer and closer to the cruise ship. If the ship cannot be stabilized quickly and the huge wave is photographed, it will make things worse. The already shaky cruise ship will be completely overturned by the huge wave.
The deputy captain said, "This ship is hopeless. Captain, let's run."
The captain gritted his teeth and stared at the huge waves in the distance, clenching his fists tightly.
The vice-captain grabbed his collar and roared loudly, "Think about your wife and children, they don't want to see your body. The cruise ship's equipment malfunctioned, and it happened to encounter a typhoon. This ship is hopeless. Abandon the ship and run for your life. Do you hear me?"
"
The captain was suddenly startled, and after coming to his senses, he immediately ordered, "Organize the evacuation of tourists immediately."
The gray-haired old captain asked the cruise ship to start blowing the whistle. The short, continuous whistle meant that the cruise ship was in danger. Then, he picked up the microphone next to him and said at a very fast speed, "Dear tourists, our cruise ship is in danger."
If the equipment malfunctions and we encounter extremely severe typhoon weather, please put on your life jackets as soon as possible, follow the direction of the arrow marked on the ship, and go to the stern of the ship to find an escape boat to evacuate."
The captain's broadcast caused the confused crowd to burst into screams.
The crowd fled toward the stern of the ship like crazy. Many people lost their shoes, hats, and sunglasses in the crowd. Yu Hanjiang, wearing an invisibility cloak, simply went to the third floor where there were fewer people, grabbed the railing, and quickly climbed along the railing toward the stern of the ship.
.
Just then, a hurricane struck, accompanied by huge waves
The huge wave of more than 50 meters high was like a building collapsing, and it suddenly hit the hull of the ship.
All the tourists who were still in the aisle and on the deck were knocked to the ground by this huge wave. Some people were washed off the fence and fell into the sea. Some people were holding on to the fence tightly with one hand, and their bodies were blown out by the wind.
While crying loudly "Help ah ah ah"
However, the tourists were too busy taking care of themselves that no one had the extra hands to help him. The man hanging on the fence was soon overturned by another wave and fell into the sea. He flopped twice and disappeared.
The cruise ship continues to tilt, and the flagpole on the deck has been blown down by the wind. The Royal Caribbean flag, which represents the identity of the ship, has been blown out and floats far away on the sea. The angle between the entire ship and the sea level
It was already below 30 degrees, and the tourists could not stand firm on the boat. Screams and heart-wrenching cries filled their ears.
Yu Hanjiang's pupils shrank slightly.
It is a doomed outcome that the cruise ship will completely capsize.
His body movements were faster than his brain's thinking, and he jumped into the sea without hesitation
Almost the moment he jumped down, the seven-story behemoth fell completely into the sea with a "boom"
Many passengers who had no time to escape were pushed into the sea by the cruise ship, and their desperate screams stopped abruptly.
The collapsed cruise ship was gradually submerged by the sea water, some passengers were injured, and the originally clear water was stained red with blood.
The challenger team that grabbed the escape boat were quickly avoiding the huge waves.
However, some people obviously didn't know how to sail. The escape boat was spinning around on the sea out of control, like a headless fly, being lifted up by the huge waves and then violently knocked over.
The challenger team was thrown into the sea like dumplings, and those who knew how to swim hurriedly rushed to save their teammates. The crowd frequently broke out swear words, scolding the ace of spades, and even a man with a strong voice shouted directly to the sky, "Fuck you!"
The ace of spades, I dig the graves of your eighteenth generation ancestors."
Challengers around ""
This guy has obviously lost his mind. Does Ace of Spades have an ancestral grave?
Xiao Lou was not in the mood to pay attention to them at all. Lao Mo was concentrating on driving the boat. His skills in driving the escape boat were first-rate. Under his control, the escape boat shot out of the sea like a sharp arrow. With a few clever turns, he was able to escape without any danger.
Avoided the huge waves
He parked the escape boat far away, and Xiao Lou said nervously, "Old Mo, Captain Yu is still on the ship."
Mo Xuemin said, "I know. The wind and waves over there are too big. It will be very dangerous to go back. We'd better wait for him in a safe place."
Xiao Lou, who had always been calm, could not help but tremble slightly when he looked at the tragic scene in the distance. He knew rationally that what Lao Mo did was right, but Xiao Lou could not help but worry.
Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Shao Qingge reached out and gently pressed Xiao Lou's shoulder, saying, "Professor Xiao, don't worry. With Captain Yu's ability, it is impossible for him to drown in the sea. I believe he will come back safely."
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and nodded stiffly.
In the distance, the cruise ship had completely capsized, and the blood on the sea continued to spread. Screams and cries were heard endlessly. Xiao Lou stared at the direction of the cruise ship without blinking, searching everywhere for that familiar figure.
There was a roar of thunder above his head, and a few bolts of lightning split the dark clouds. Xiao Lou's whole body was soaked, and a cold wind seemed to be poured into his heart. His eyes were blurred by water mist, but he still tried to keep them wide open.
Looking into the distance, I was afraid I would miss Yu Hanjiang.
Probably because of the "concern leads to chaos", knowing that Yu Hanjiang would not be so foolish as to drown in the sea water, but there was no trace of Yu Hanjiang in the crowd, Xiao Lou was still so nervous that he clenched his fists and even breath became difficult.
difficult.
These few minutes seemed like centuries.
Liu Qiao placed a Kongming lantern, which was the lantern she had placed in Liuxi Village. It could be raised to determine the location. She also wanted the Yu team in chaos to quickly locate their ship.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Lou suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from his ears: "I'm back."
Xiao Lou turned around suddenly
Yu Hanjiang was seen using his hands and feet to quickly climb onto the escape boat. The man's black hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, and his clothes were soaked by the sea water. He looked a little embarrassed, but his expression was very calm, and his eyes were dark and deep.
His eyes were still full of confidence.
Xiao Lou was ecstatic and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shao Qingge smiled and joked, "Captain Yu, please report that you are safe. Professor Xiao is worried."
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and met his bright eyes.
Xiao Lou was told that his ears were burning, but he looked at Yu Hanjiang seriously, with obvious joy in his eyes, and said with a smile, "It's good to be back. Captain Yu, why have you been away for so long? Is everything okay?"
Yu Hanjiang felt warm in his heart and said warmly, "It's okay. I went to the cockpit and took a look. The reason why the ship suddenly tilted was due to equipment failure. Originally, this kind of giant cruise ship could withstand the typhoon, but it happened that there was a problem with the equipment, and the captain also
There was no way to save the ship, so the radio was broadcast for everyone to escape. I saw many warning lights on the control panel. Obviously, capsizing the ship was an inevitable result."
He went back to confirm whether the cruise ship can still be used. If it can survive the typhoon, there is no need for everyone to rush away in the escape boat. After all, the cruise ship is more stable and safer. But now, capsizing has become an inevitable result. Everyone
Only the second option can be chosen.
Ye Qi couldn't help complaining, "Does this mean we are going to sit on an escape boat and drift on the sea?"
Lao Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Just get used to it, Spades Weekly doesn't make people feel too happy."
Xiao Lou asked with concern, "Captain Yu, how did you find us at such a long distance?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "I am a very good swimmer. I can hold my breath underwater for 12 minutes. I have seen your position a long time ago. Before the boat capsized, I jumped into the sea and swam along the Kongming Lantern hung by Xiao Liu."
Xiao Lou finally felt relieved when he saw that he looked calm and uninjured.
After yesterday's diarrhea incident, 20 people left on the "Gypses", so the number of escape boats provided by the "Caribbean" is sufficient. As long as you encounter a typhoon, don't panic, stay calm and grab the escape boats.
When a huge wave comes, avoid the center of the wave and don't blindly drive the escape boat into the sea whirlpool. The probability of surviving the storm just now is not low.
Xiao Lou looked around and saw that the challengers were well prepared and most of them grabbed the escape boats and survived.
Pity the nearly 100 tourists who knew nothing about this. They just took a cruise ship to have fun, but they encountered such misfortune.
Nearly 60 tourists died in the shipwreck. It was afternoon, and most of the tourists were playing in the entertainment center or watching a play in the theater. When the disaster occurred, they had no time to escape and were brought in by the capsized cruise ship.
to the bottom of the sea. Only some tourists with extremely quick reactions were able to grab the escape boat immediately.
The heavy rain was pouring down, and Yu Hanjiang looked far away behind the escape boat. A sudden whirlpool on the sea took away the lives of many people. On the right side was the ship that had just been overturned; they could only continue to move forward.
Floating on the surrounding sea were broken fences, wooden boards, girls' silk scarves, life jackets that they didn't have time to put on, some plastic bags of food, and some shoes and bags that were lost during the escape.
Bodies of dead people floating on the sea.
The typhoon passed through and everything was in chaos.
Many people saw such a tragic disaster scene for the first time and could not bear to look away.
Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, "Are you all injured?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Yu Hanjiang said, "This typhoon overturned the cruise ship we were on, forcing us to use an escape boat to drift on the sea. There are still 5 days left before customs clearance. Does the escape boat have enough fuel?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
Lao Mo quickly looked down at the pointer on the dashboard and said, "The fuel tank is full."
Everyone was relieved. They were really scared by the ace of spades. What if they finally managed to grab an escape boat, but ended up walking a few kilometers and ran out of gas. Wouldn't it be disappointing? Fortunately, the ace of spades didn't exist.
That's too much. The fuel tank of the escape boat is full.
Yu Hanjiang looked at the bright light gradually appearing in the distant sky and said, "There is a whirlpool behind us. We can't get through it for the time being. We can only move forward. Let's organize ourselves and get ready to go."
Xiao Lou also calmed down at this time, sat back in his seat, and said, "Let's take stock of the supplies first."
Ye Qi, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue were in charge of the supplies. Soon, the three of them checked their backpacks and replied, "The food is all there." "I also have all the medicines here." "There is enough mineral water."
Xiao Lou said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mo. Come and sail the boat."
Mo Xuemin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've learned how to drive an escape boat, leave it to me."
Lao Mo drove the escape boat quickly towards the east.
There were many challengers around who also made the decision to "continue eastward" after observing the environment.
Dozens of escape boats gradually left the sea area.
Behind him, the "Caribbean" cruise ship had completely disappeared on the sea level, leaving only some wooden wreckage floating on the sea. Xiao Lou didn't know what happened to the staff on the ship, nor did he know about this sudden disaster.
He had no time to think about how many lives he had taken, nor was he able to save other people. His teammates were all safe, which was the only thing he was thankful for.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou sat side by side in the second row.
The escape boat had already driven some distance away. Seeing Professor Xiao's pale face, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but gently stretched out his hand, held the back of Xiao Lou's hand, and whispered in his ear, "Just now, I left the team alone. Didn't you worry?"
Yu Hanjiang still can't forget the bright look in Xiao Lou's eyes when he saw him.
Professor Xiao actually cared so much about his safety. Yu Hanjiang was a little surprised. When he met Xiao Lou's shining eyes, his heart was suddenly wrapped in a warm emotion. The two had known each other for a while, and Yu Hanjiang always thought that Xiao Lou only regarded him as
From the perspective of ordinary teammates, he was almost the same as Mr. Shao, Ye Qi, etc. But at that moment, Xiao Lou’s eyes could not deceive anyone.
He suddenly discovered that Xiao Lou treated him differently. The relationship between the two was deeper than that of other teammates, and the trust and tacit understanding between the two was greater than that of other teammates.
Thinking of Xiao Lou's concern, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but promise in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger. We agreed to go back together."
Having just been soaked by the heavy rain, Yu Hanjiang's palms were filled with rainwater.
When his wet hand gently held the back of his hand, Xiao Lou's heart beat like a drum for a moment. He didn't dare to look into Yu Hanjiang's eyes. He pretended to be calm and whispered, "It's okay. I'm not particularly worried about you. I believe that Captain Yu will come back safely."
.”
The corners of Yu Hanjiang's lips raised slightly, he held his hand tightly and said, "We will try our best to act together in the future. I will not leave you alone again and make you worry."
Xiao Lou knew that Captain Yu held his hand simply to express his trust in each other, but he just couldn't control his heartbeat. Yu Hanjiang's fingers were long and strong, and he felt safe when being held. Xiao Lou didn't want to struggle, nor did he
If you dare to hold it back, you can only freeze in place.
However, Yu Hanjiang realized that his movements were too intimate and took the initiative to let go of his hand.
Xiao Lou's ears felt slightly hot and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Shao Qingge, who was sitting in the back, looked at this scene with a smile and touched his chin thoughtfully.
In the front row, Lao Mo suddenly pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "The rain is about to stop. Look, the dark clouds are spreading."
Everyone looked up and the dark clouds covering the sky gradually opened a gap in the middle.
The sun splits the sky like a sharp sword and shines on the sea.
The clear blue sky slowly spread out in everyone's field of vision like a blue ribbon. The dark clouds completely dispersed, and the bright sunshine shone down, spreading a layer of warmth on everyone's body.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Sen said, "It's a good thing that there was no danger but Lao Mo knows how to sail."
Mo Xuemin said helplessly, "I have been in the secret room world for more than half a year, and I have become an experienced driver. Not only can I drive an escape boat, I can also fly a plane. I paid money to learn it. I also know how to parachute."
Long Sen laughed and said, "Then you are really a decathlete."
Mo Xuemin sighed softly, "There is no way. What if we encounter a plane crash in the future and need to parachute? There is always no harm in preparing in advance. Never underestimate the perversion of the ace of spades."
Qu Wanyue also smiled and said, "There was no danger. We have successfully passed the typhoon. Thank you everyone for your hard work."
Ye Qi took out the mineral water from his backpack and said, "Come on, let's drink some water to calm down the shock."
Everyone looked much more relaxed.
However, everyone knows that this is only the second day.
After the typhoon has passed, there may be other disasters waiting for everyone.
There is still no end in sight to the boundless sea, and their sea drifting journey has just begun.
