Chapter 545 Cruise Ship Rescue
About five minutes later, Yan Shaoyu came back. He looked solemn and serious, holding the equipment needed for entering the sea in his hands, which he put on neatly. His messy black hair was wet by the rain and stuck to his fair forehead.
Gu Yuehuai's eyes were slightly stern. He stood up and looked outside, frowning and asked, "What happened?"
"Our warship received a weak radio call. A cruise ship entering from Country E hit a reef and is about to sink. We must launch a rescue operation immediately!" Yan Shaoyu's voice was very heavy.
Gu Yuehuai's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but purse her red lips: "The cruise ship hit a reef?"
Yan Shaoyu nodded, his expression stern, and reached out to hold her shoulder: "Yes, our ship must speed up and head towards the accident site. Ah Yue, you stay here. If you really feel uncomfortable, go into the Xumi space. I will explain it later."
Gu Yuehuai frowned. Outside, there was the sound of heavy rain. It was too dangerous to go into the sea for rescue in such an environment. Not only could you not see anything clearly, you might even encounter ferocious marine creatures like sharks.
It was really a failure. I had just left the army and encountered such an emergency.
She exhaled a breath of foul air, reached out and held his hand, and said calmly: "I have to go with you!"
After saying this, without waiting for Yan Shaoyu to refute, he restrained his solemn expression and chuckled, "Don't forget my ability. When it comes to rescue, ten of you can't compare to me. What's more, in this environment, I'm worried about letting you go alone while I hide in the Xumi space. At worst, I can help you drive away some marine life."
Yan Shaoyu's muscles were a little tense, but he didn't say anything to refuse, and left the cabin with Gu Yuehuai.
All the soldiers on this trip have gathered on the deck and put on their equipment. Even Gu Wei is no exception. He stands at the front and gives rescue orders in a sharp and orderly manner.
A violent storm was sweeping across the sea. Gu Yuehuai grabbed the mast, and the cold rain fell on her face, which made her seasickness better. However, looking at the dark sea, fear still rose from the bottom of her heart.
The captain was moving very fast, and the big ship broke out from the darkness where the sea and sky were one, like cutting through the clouds and waves.
Yan Shaoyu and his companions, in groups of two, had already taken the lead in setting off for the accident site on a small lifeboat.
About half an hour later, Gu Yuehuai saw a small light on the sea in the distance, as bright as daylight.
Closer and closer, Gu Yuehuai saw a cruise ship about the size of a military ship that had sunk halfway. Many people were floating on the sea, and their cries of pain could be faintly heard.
When these people saw the rescue boat coming, they all showed hope of survival.
"Help! Help!"
Gu Yuehuai, wearing a raincoat, followed the rescue boat down the ship. He couldn't help but shiver when his fingers touched the cold sea water. The healing power surged out, causing the aquatic plants in this sea area to sway and grow, conveying information.
This is already a real deep sea area, and even with the help of plants, it is almost impossible to reach the bottom.
She quickly found Yan Shaoyu and used the perception provided by the plants to help him rescue the people who fell into the water.
Maybe it was because they were making too much noise, but when the rescue was halfway done, Gu Yuehuai noticed several menacing figures approaching. Their triangular backs were looming in the darkness, like the sickle of death.
Someone in the crowd shouted in fear: "Shark! There's a shark!"
There are too many people falling into the water, and they are bound to carry sharp weapons, or kick up various small objects on the sea surface while struggling, causing bleeding. Sharks are most sensitive to the smell of blood. To them, people falling into the sea are equivalent to a buffet of human flesh.
The arrival of the shark caused great panic. The people who were originally waiting for rescue began to struggle to climb onto the rescue boat. The already unstable boat could not withstand such clinging and capsized one after another, bringing huge pressure to the rescue.
Meng Hu tried his best to help the victims get on the yacht. Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he pointed at Yan Shaoyu not far away and shouted hoarsely, "Captain! Over there!"
The shark was approaching very quickly, and it swam to the side of a person in distress in almost the blink of an eye.
Just as Gu Yuehuai was about to use the underwater plants to drive away the shark, the rescue boat he was on was overturned.
She clung to the edge of the yacht but still couldn't escape falling into the water.
Although she could not swim, she was a calm person. She held her breath the moment she fell into the water, and then used the support of sea plants to float to the surface steadily. After taking a deep breath, she quickly drove the plants to start blocking the invading sharks.
However, just a moment of distraction when falling into the water caused someone to be injured, and the blood dyed the sea red.
Screams, cries, and roars of pain were carried by the wind and rain.
"Everyone calm down! Don't panic!" Gu Wei stood on the rescue boat, looking at the chaotic scene, and felt the difficulty of the rescue.
Unfortunately, facing the expanding sea area, no one could hear him even though his voice was very loud. Helplessly, Gu Wei had to take out the gun from his waist, pull the bolt, and fire a shot into the sky.
A loud "bang" made the scene quiet for a moment, and then screams were heard.
The scene became more and more chaotic. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Eighth Military Region had rescue experience and brought the rescue to an end.
Gu Yuehuai did not have time to rest and quickly checked the situation on Yan Shaoyu's side. He was shocked when he saw it. In order to rescue the people in distress, Yan Shaoyu took the initiative to attract the attention of the shark and fought with the shark in the sea with a dagger in his hand.
There was a lot of noise over there, with the waves surging, and he almost became the focus of everyone's attention.
Soon, blood surged in the sea, and a shark corpse with a snow-white belly floated to the surface.
Soon after, Yan Shaoyu emerged from the sea. He seemed exhausted, breathing heavily with his arms resting on the shark's corpse. There was silence all around, but the exclamations of the E countrymen were heard again.
Meng Hu was also stunned, but seeing these foreigners admiring and exclaiming, he felt a sense of pride.
"See? These are the soldiers from our Country Z!" Feeling so proud, he couldn't help but say a few more words during the rescue, regardless of whether these foreigners could understand him or not.
Gu Yuehuai drove the plants to form a closed circle, trapping all the sharks outside the crowd.
The only light on the dark sea was the dim light of MLZL during the rescue operation. It was almost pitch dark, but no one noticed anything was wrong.
It was not until the heavy rain stopped and the sun began to set that all the surviving cruise ship victims were transferred to military ships.
The sea was in a mess. Gu Yuehuai was treating the injured people who had choked on water. Yan Shaoyu had not returned yet. He was leading Meng Hu and others to check if there were other people in distress in the sea. Gu Wei was taking people to verify their identities.
