Chapter 184 The family finally emerged from the storm and is safe.



Zhu Chenfeng followed Wang Haocheng's gaze and recognized the paper with pictures on it.

"These are explanatory drawings for something."

Upon hearing Zhu Chenfeng's words, Wang Haocheng quickly handed him the blueprints in his hand.

"Brother Zhu, since you know about this, please take a look."

Zhu Chenfeng couldn't actually understand the instructions on the blueprints, but he did it to convince Wang Haocheng that he was an expert.

He could only nod and frown as he looked at the drawings, pointing at them and spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"The explanation on the blueprints is that this thing can protect cargo ships; it's some kind of mechanism."

The simple and clear explanation made it instantly clear to Wang Haocheng, who stared seriously at the black box loaded on the cargo ship.

"Who installed this thing here?"

"Brother Wang, our most important task now is to ensure that the cargo ship can successfully withstand the onslaught of the torrential rain."

Zhu Chenfeng was worried that Wang Haocheng would pursue the matter further, so he quickly changed the subject to distract him.

Wang Haocheng, who had wanted to figure out the mechanism, eventually gave up on asking further questions and silently nodded in agreement.

"Yes, everyone should immediately check around carefully. If any cracks are found, they must be repaired immediately."

At Wang Haocheng's command, everyone immediately dispersed, carrying oil lamps and looking around.

In order to finish the inspection before the downpour, Zhu Chenfeng also joined the inspection team, holding up an oil lamp to check.

Just as the group was carefully inspecting the cargo ship, it suddenly tilted violently, and Zhu Chenfeng and the others all fell towards the opposite bank due to the violent swaying.

With his men's help, Wang Haocheng struggled to his feet and leaned back against the ship, shouting at Zhu Chenfeng.

"Brother Zhu, a storm must be coming. Hurry up."

After hearing Wang Haocheng's reminder, Zhu Chenfeng and the other crew members helped each other and stumbled their way onto the deck.

When the group arrived on the deck, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed across the night sky with a loud roar.

The wind howled, and the waves rolled on the sea like mountains, creating huge waves.

The ship rose and fell in the waves, swaying from side to side, its sails billowing in the wind.

The cargo ship was repeatedly battered by the waves, and the crew kept pouring water out of the deck to prevent the ship from being flooded.

The crew, operating the helm, tried to keep the ship balanced, but the waves were too big to navigate.

XiXi anxiously watched the scene before her, then turned and flew to the bottom of the ship to check the status of the upgrade device.

At this point, the upgrader had been loaded to 99%, and just as the cargo ship was about to capsize, the upgrader successfully completed its loading.

In an instant, the entire ship underwent a visible transformation, with the previously dilapidated planks becoming completely new.

Curious, she flew toward the deck, only to find that the deck had also changed a lot.

The surrounding waves seemed isolated, with only the waves crashing against the air again and again.

The cargo ship gradually stabilized amidst the rocking, maintaining its balance regardless of the size of the waves outside.

The crew members stared in astonishment at the scene before them, then looked at Wang Haocheng, bewildered.

Wang Haocheng was also startled by the scene and looked at Zhu Chenfeng in a daze.

Zhu Chenfeng was at a loss for words to explain the situation, so he could only offer an awkward smile and an explanation.

"Perhaps the dragon fish is protecting us?"

In order to find a plausible reason, he could only make up something about the Jiao people, since the Jiao people are also known as the guardians of the sea.

When everyone heard Zhu Chenfeng mention the Jiaoren, they finally understood and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

At this moment, Old Lady Zhu led the women out of the cabin, carrying blankets in her hands, and walked towards the crew.

After seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Xixi breathed a sigh of relief.

The cargo ship has finally stabilized, but Xixi is exhausted.

With the upgrader's protection, everyone can sleep soundly.

Grandma Zhu, who was initially puzzled by the scene before her, finally understood why the cargo ship was not being hit by the sea after hearing Xixi's explanation.

Although the cargo ship was temporarily spared from the waves, the deck was a mess, with everything lying on its side.

Faced with the situation, Old Mrs. Zhu had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and wave to her daughters-in-law, "Women of the Zhu family, get to work."

Under Old Lady Zhu's command, everyone was full of energy, rolled up their sleeves, and took out wooden buckets and cloths to start cleaning the deck.

There was a lot of cargo to be sorted, and after the crew finished their rest, they also joined the sorting team.

Everyone was busy tidying up the deck, but Xixi lay happily on the cart, her dark eyes following everyone's movements.

After everyone finished organizing the cargo on the deck, the storm had subsided, the sky gradually cleared, and the orange sunrise slowly rose above the horizon.

Everyone lay exhausted on the deck, feeling the joy of surviving the ordeal.

Looking at the unfamiliar sea before him, Wang Haocheng showed no joy whatsoever, and kept tapping the navigation instrument in his hand.

"The naval navigation instrument is no longer usable."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhu hurriedly walked towards Wang Haocheng and handed him the hot tea in her hand, saying, "Manager Wang, have some hot tea."

"Thank you, Grandma Zhu. We have now entered a sea area where navigation instruments cannot be used."

Wang Hao didn't want to talk about the terrible situation, but he really had no way to solve it.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhu recalled what Xixi had said before: if the navigation instrument malfunctions, the only way to find the correct sea route is to follow the seawater pig.

"Manager Wang, I remember you once rescued a sea pig, didn't you?"

Wang Haocheng paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "That's right."

"Ancient books record that sea hogs have the ability to distinguish directions. We can try to summon them. Sea hogs are intelligent and may be able to help us get out of trouble."

Old Mrs. Zhu tried to convince Wang Haocheng to believe what she knew by using ancient books as an excuse.

Upon hearing this, Wang Haocheng immediately agreed with Grandma Zhu's suggestion and excitedly said, "Yes, how could I have forgotten about that?"

He acted immediately, turned around and walked towards the crew, giving them a long explanation.

Upon hearing Wang Haocheng's command, everyone instantly understood what to do. Subsequently, the crew stood on the ship and made sounds similar to those of dolphins.

Xi Xi looked up at the crew member with curiosity, but unfortunately her neck was too short and she couldn't see him at all.

Left with no other choice, she reached out her hand to Liu and made some incoherent sounds.

Upon hearing the sound, Madam Liu looked down at Xixi, smiled indulgently, and picked her up from the stroller.

"Xixi wants to see it too, right?"

Xixi waved her little hands excitedly and looked towards the crew members standing on the ship.

Not only Xixi was curious, but everyone else also gathered around the ship with curiosity.

The crew called for about half a cup of tea's time, and just when everyone thought there was no hope, the sound of dolphins echoed from the sea.
