Huo Antu lowered his eyes to look at Shen Xingtang, who was shivering on the ground with a complicated look in his eyes: "I have no objection to your decision, and I don't ask for mercy. I just want to be controlled with her before I get off the ship."
Ren Wangwang hesitated for a moment.
Huo Antu: "Just think of it as, I'll help you watch her too."
In the end, Shen Xingtang and Huo Antu were locked up together, and someone was watching them and not letting them out.
Shen Xingtang's drama was resolved in less than 10 minutes. Qiao Xuejun was relieved to see that the soldiers were not in any danger. She was really afraid that Shen Xingtang was doing something secretly.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the boat, which was supposed to tilt to the left, continued to tilt to the right, almost tilting to 90 degrees. There was a loud crashing sound.
The discussion in the cockpit could be heard from the radio in Qiao Xuejun's hand.
Captain Qin: "Attention, something is attacking my ship!"
There was panic in the cockpit.
Zhao Yun said: "Is it a mutant? Of course, we have made full preparations to expel it! Both sonic expulsion and drug expulsion are ready!"
Captain Qin's voice was contacting other people: "Boss, our ship has suffered an unknown collision, check the engine room!"
The old man replied: "Captain, our ship was hit on the starboard side, and the air pump was slightly deformed. The cooling pipe on the side also cracked and leaked a lot of water! Water flowed into the cabin, and we are repairing it!"
Captain Qin's voice became heavier: "Got it, repair it first and report the situation at any time."
Zhao Xian's voice: "Captain Qin, what's the situation now?"
Captain Qin said, "Originally there was no problem, but the collision just now damaged the cooling pipes, which are full of seawater. If we can't rescue them... within half an hour, the ship may sink. The worst case scenario is that we need to abandon the ship."
Abandon ship.
There was silence in the cockpit.
There is still a storm and the sea is rough. If we abandon the ship, where can we go?
Even wearing a life jacket, it is difficult to survive if you jump into the sea.
The sea water is too cold. No matter how much you wear, you will quickly lose temperature after falling into the sea in just 5 minutes, making swimming impossible.
Swimming to the shore in half an hour is even more impossible.
Zhao Xian: "We are very close to the nearest urban area now. Is it possible to force our way through the current area at full speed?"
Qin Long hesitated for a while: "We are currently in a deceleration state. It is indeed possible to leave the current area at full speed, but it is also possible that the wind and waves will intensify and hit the hull, causing the damage to the hull to worsen, causing it to break and disintegrate instantly."
Zhao Yun: "The ship was fine when it set out, but it can't even reach its destination?"
The ship was even specially maintained and reinforced before departure.
Qin Long smiled bitterly: "The sea is ruthless. Even a new ship may face this situation."
It has nothing to do with the preparation of the ship, it has nothing to do with the people, if the sea gets angry and takes lives, it has only to do with the sea itself.
"As the captain, my decision is to wait for 15 minutes to see if Laogui can solve the problem of the broken cold water pipe of the hull. If it still can't be solved in 15 minutes, then we will rush through the current area at full speed. But we must also deal with the risk of hull damage and splitting, and be ready to abandon the ship at any time!"
Fifteen minutes...
Another ten minutes passed, and there was still no news from Lao Gui.
Only five minutes left.
The ship was constantly being hit by the wind and waves, but the tilt was getting more and more to the right. The starboard side was hit and flooded, and the tilt was much more serious.
Qiao Xuejun looked again at the life jacket she had already put on.
Even the system was a little uneasy: "Host, if they fall into the sea, the hero and heroine will not die, but what will you do?"
Qiao Xuejun: "What else can I do? It depends on fate."
Except for the male and female protagonists, everyone depends on fate, even the experienced captain and the always omnipotent Zhao Xian, all treat them equally.
Who can be sure of survival?
No.
The captain's radio sounded.
"Please pay attention, our ship has been attacked by unknown creatures, causing the seawater cooling pipes to rupture and seawater to flood into the hull. We are currently repairing it with all our strength. In order to cope with the consequences of failed repairs, please put on your life jackets! Pay attention to the captain's instructions and be ready to abandon ship at any time!"
The captain's broadcast was repeated three times.
Qiao Xuejun heard the noise of a crowd outside the corridor.
"What's going on? Why are we abandoning the ship?" someone asked.
"What do you mean abandon ship? Let us jump into the sea?"
"Isn't it said that the ship has been reinforced and there are no problems? Why abandon it?"
“…”
The patrol team came out to explain under pressure: "The weather changed suddenly, and we suffered an unknown attack. We are not going to abandon the ship immediately. We have to wait a little longer. The engine department is repairing the damaged water pipes..."
"Everyone, please return to the room." Suddenly, the captain's broadcast sounded again, and he was a little excited. "The engine group has repaired the cooling pipes that were damaged on the hull. They are completely repaired! There is no need to abandon the ship at this time!"
When the new announcement came out, everyone was a little confused, but soon someone understood and started to get excited: "No need to abandon ship, no need to abandon ship!"
Others also understood the meaning: "It's fixed, thank goodness!"
"Please stay calm and return to your rooms and wait. We will land as soon as the storm disappears. Please rest and recuperate, and wait for the next instruction!"
“…”
The captain repeated the broadcast several times.
More and more people in the corridor reacted, and their voices gradually became louder: "I was scared to death, I thought I was doomed."
"Yes, going to the sea in this weather is simply a dead end."
"Fortunately, we don't have to jump anymore."
The soldiers were also maintaining order: "Okay, everyone please go back to the house. Wait for the captain's orders at any time!"
Soon the corridor became quiet again.
·
Just as the meteorological experts said, after 3 hours, the waves on the sea were much smaller and the water flow slowed down.
The wind also became weaker.
The boat was no longer shaking violently, but was just swaying gently.
System: "Host, the strong wind has stopped."
Only then did Qiao Xuejun feel relieved.
"Everyone, please note that we are now at anchor and will reach the shore in half an hour."
Qiao Xuejun's legs were numb from squatting, so she stood up from the ground, pinched her legs, and then walked back to the window.
Nearly 4 hours passed, the sky darkened again, and the sun disappeared.
Some city outlines could be seen outside the window, and the direction they were heading seemed to be the original central area of the city.
Qiao Xuejun saw a building in front of him, but only the top few floors were left, and the rest was underwater. The building above the water still had a sign with its name on it - "Southwest Alliance Radio and Television Building."
System: "Host, the TV station building was originally 136 meters high, but now only about 30 meters are left above the water. The lower 100 meters are all submerged."
"Knock knock." There was a knock on Qiao Xuejun's door.
"Who?" she asked, turning back.
Zhao Xian's voice sounded outside the door: "It's me."
