Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Breakout
*
"Hahahaha! You little bastard, you're too young to play with me!"
After a thrilling and exciting extreme overtaking, Meng Gaoyang's adrenaline soared. With sweat on his forehead, he laughed out loud in triumph in the cab.
The water level continued to drop, and overtaking in this way was undoubtedly a risky move. If you were not careful and hit the shore, it would be a small matter. But if you used too much force and ran aground, you would be really finished.
Feeling thankful but also fearful, Meng Gaoyang did not even bother to wipe the sweat off his face as he steered the ship with one hand. After passing the Xiangyang, he quickly pushed the bell to the bottom and steered the Fengyi towards the gap ahead at full speed.
The incident happened suddenly. It had only been three minutes since Feng Yi started to overtake the ship.
The Xiangyang, which was left behind, was no longer a threat. The string of "candied haws" across the river had no time to react. It would take time to loosen the cables and start the ship, so they just had to pass through before that.
“Boom boom boom—”
The Huangjiang River was no longer calm. Two huge ships were sailing at full speed, and the deafening sound of their engines sounded like thunder.
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters...
The distance was shortened at a very fast speed. The Wind Wing was like an arrow shot from a bow, bringing with it a sharp and swift sound of breaking through the wind, raising waves of turbid water, and rushing towards the gap in front.
All the ships were parked horizontally. The "wall" was long but not thick. Soon, the Fengyi, which broke through from the front, plunged into the gap and the bow passed smoothly.
The Fengyi was driving from the front, and the bow with the most power passed smoothly, which meant that it would be too late for the ships on both sides to move immediately to stop it.
The old man gripped the rudder tightly with both hands, his tense nerves gradually relaxing. But before he had time to rejoice for being out of trouble, two medium-sized bulk carriers suddenly jumped out from his blind spots on the left and right sides and rammed into the Feng Yi at full speed without hesitation.
“——Bang, bang!”
It was like a loud thunder, with huge crashes one after another.
The two ships attacked from both sides and almost simultaneously collided with the Wind Wing, which was sailing at full speed. The smooth curved hull in the middle of the ship's belly instantly sank, and the bulbous bow of the other ship directly hit two huge deep pits.
The propeller submerged in the water was spinning at high speed. The Wind Wing used all its strength to struggle and save itself, while the other two ships seemed determined to win and pushed forward without hesitation, determined to force the Wind Wing to stop even if both sides would suffer losses.
The steel on the contact surface rubbed violently, and a sharp, teeth-grinding "crunching" sound filled the surface of the river, which was even more harsh than the huge collision sound just now.
The pincer attack of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of our own was indeed effective, and the Fengyi was caught in a dilemma, unable to move. However, most of the bulk carriers in Huangjiang were mainly driven from behind, and these two ships were no exception.
The bows of the ships were colliding with each other, with one engine in front and the other in the back. The power was completely at a different level. It was only a matter of time before they got out of trouble. At most, the Fengyi would be more seriously damaged.
But the problem now is - they don't have time.
The situation was at a stalemate, and just when the Wind Wing was gaining the upper hand with a slight advantage, a large group of people suddenly poured out from the open decks on both sides that were almost parallel to the Wind Wing.
No longer making any disguise, those people were wearing short-sleeved T-shirts and shorts, and were dirty. They must have not showered for a while. Some of them had tangled hair and looked sloppy and disheveled, visibly dishevelled.
It's OK that they were dirty, after all, the Huangjiang River was polluted, water resources were scarce, and it was normal that they couldn't take a shower. But their exposed skin, in addition to dirt and sweat stains, was covered with dense, weird and scary red rashes like blisters.
The small red rashes were no different from acne, with very red edges and slightly white tips, and it seemed that pus would come out if you squeezed them gently. And those that were as big as fists were like freshly boiled water poured on the skin, scalding the skin into transparent blisters.
There were densely packed, and everyone had a lot of them on their body. Meng Gaoyang took the time out of his busy schedule to take a look. A basin of cold water was suddenly poured over his head, and a chill ran down his back. His body temperature, which had been rising continuously, instantly dropped below zero.
It was not just because of those strange rashes, but there were too many people on the other side, at least thirty or forty on both sides. Moreover, the three ships were close together, and it was as easy as walking on flat ground to board the Wind Wing along the deck.
In just a few moments, the other side has begun to take action.
A group of lifeless and pale-faced men, unafraid of the pain or the heat, ran towards the Wind Wing on the scorching deck.
What a ghost! Meng Gaoyang cursed inwardly, then turned on the pre-connected power grid switch, grabbed the intercom and shouted: "Quick! There are people on both boats, stop them, don't let them dirty my Fengyi!"
Following the order, three white figures suddenly appeared on the Wind Wing, which was fully wrapped in green waterproof tarpaulin. One of them dragged a long water pipe, two went to the left deck, and one went to the right deck, ready for defense.
The three ships were arranged in a cross shape, and the other two ships were on both sides of the Wind Wing, with little contact with the Wind Wing. There was only one way to get on board, which was the opposite bow deck, and they only needed to guard this place with a high-pressure water gun.
The sun was scorching high above his head, and his palms were full of sweat as he gripped the high-pressure water gun. Looking at the huge group of people rushing towards him, Gu Mengran inexplicably felt as if he was watching a zombie movie.
Reason? Difficulties? It doesn't matter, he will never show mercy.
"Hurry, they have food and medicine on the boat, don't let them get away!"
"Don't, don't run, save my child..."
"Medicine, I need medicine, I don't want to die yet!"
"Don't talk nonsense, rush over and grab the boat directly!"
…
The cries and roars were deafening, and a group of people rushed over in a mighty manner.
The first person to enter the range of the water gun was a bald middle-aged man.
He seemed to be tortured by illness. His face was as pale as paper, his lips were black and blue, and the huge red rash on his neck was still oozing pus and blood. But he was extremely determined, and he stumbled and rushed towards the Wind Wing without hesitation.
Without any hesitation or emotion, there was a "hiss" sound, and a strong stream of water spurted out from Gu Mengran's hand.
The pressure was adjusted to the maximum, and the water column shot straight towards the opposite ship like a bullet, dragging a long tail, and overturned the man who was leading the charge in less than a second.
The power of the high-pressure water gun was so strong at a distance of five or six meters. The lethality of the water gun was self-evident. The people behind hesitated for a moment, but someone in the crowd shouted "We'll die anyway", and the group of people became agitated again and rushed forward regardless of everything.
Self-defense, self-defense! Zheng Yijie repeated it twice in his mind, gritted his teeth, and opened the high-pressure water gun with Gu Mengran, shooting indiscriminately in front of him.
The distance was still far, and the high-pressure water gun did not cause any substantial damage. The powerful water column only knocked those people to the ground or blocked their progress. However, the enemy had a large number of people, one on top of the other, and soon three or four people successfully broke through and stepped onto the deck of the Wind Wing in the chaos.
The guardrail blocked the way and the electric fence started working. The two men who tried to climb over the guardrail were electrocuted. Their dirty bodies became extremely stiff and then they fell straight down.
The impact force was so strong that it could even scrape off a layer of skin from a stone. The water column was shot at the human body at close range. Gu Mengran thought about what the consequences would be, but when he saw a thin boy trying to get in through the gap in the guardrail, Gu Mengran chose to move the water gun and aim it at him.
“——hiss, hiss, hiss!”
The white water column, with a powerful impact, accurately hit the boy's instep.
It took only ten seconds for the opponent's worn sneakers to be pierced through. A red blood mist rose high and disappeared in an instant under the impact of the water column.
The long eight minutes were a torture for both sides.
A mixture of water, blood, and pus splattered everywhere. Those who took the initiative to attack fell one after another, leaving behind a mess and painful wails.
At the same time, the stagnant Wind Wing finally broke free from its confinement and began to move slowly.
As the ship moved, those who fell on the edge of the deck fell into the river like dumplings. The two ships didn't care and kept approaching to try to sandwich the Wind Wing.
In the blink of an eye, there were several more bodies in Huangjiang River.
Like two pieces of tough taffy, the bulk carrier clung to the Feng Yi tightly, and just when the scene just now was about to be re-enacted, there was another loud "bang".
At some point, Heng Rongsheng 2, which was behind, had passed the ship in the narrow channel. She moved to the right side of Fengyi, accelerated resolutely, and rammed into the bulk carrier that was sticking to Fengyi.
The effects of being fully loaded and empty are completely different. With this full-force collision, the bulk carrier was swept four or five meters away by the waves, and the Fengyi took the opportunity to accelerate, like a nimble loach, slipping away from the other bulk carrier and swaggering away.
The sea stopped and swayed frequently, and even Gu Mengran, who was not seasick, could not bear it. The strong feeling of dizziness went straight to his brain, and his stomach was churning. He almost vomited on the spot.
Of course, the nausea is not only caused by dizziness, but the main reason is the red and white sticky liquid on the protective clothing.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the discomfort, Gu Mengran glanced at Heng Rongsheng 2 following closely behind, then put down the high-pressure water gun and walked towards the other deck with Zheng Yiji.
There were only four people on the Wind Wing. Grandpa was in charge of driving, and only the three of them could move freely.
Gu Mengran guessed that the enemy might launch a surprise attack when they passed through the gap, so he prepared a high-pressure water gun and put on protective clothing. But he didn't expect that the enemy would attack from both sides, so the three of them were forced to split into two teams.
I'm worried. Gu Mengran and Zheng Yijie are both having a hard time dealing with this. Their hands are numb from the high-pressure water guns. Liang Zhao is all alone...
The man was trapped in the protective suit and was almost pickled with sweat. Gu Mengran did not dare to stop for a moment. He walked around the stern at a rapid pace and hurried to the deck on the other side.
A touch of white was particularly conspicuous among the green. Gu Mengran saw from afar that Liang Zhao was standing alone by the fender, busy dismantling the high-pressure water gun connected to the water pipe.
There was no body, no other people, Liang Zhao was standing there intact, and Gu Mengran's heart finally settled down. He shouted loudly through the protective suit: "Liang Zhao! Stop it for now, come over here and take a shower!"
The soundproofing effect of the protective mask was so good that Liang Zhao took several seconds to slowly turn his head around. He did not make any other movements, but just glanced at Gu Mengran from a distance.
Gu Mengran thought he didn't hear it, and was about to walk over when the earphones in his ears began to buzz, and Liang Zhao's slightly hoarse voice began to spread:
"Don't move, don't come over here."
An ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind, but Gu Mengran still insisted on moving forward, pressing the intercom on his waist at the same time: "What's wrong? Why don't you come?"
Unable to stop Gu Mengran's progress, Liang Zhao decisively dropped the half-disassembled high-pressure water gun and retreated little by little in the opponent's rhythm.
"My protective suit was torn and got a little dirty."
