Qiao Xuejun took the backpack from the bed, took out the radio from it, and connected to the channel of patrol team one.
This time a team of 10 soldiers came to escort them.
There is indeed communication in the channel.
Zhao Yun said, "Everyone. Don't stand on the deck. Everyone go into the cabin. The wind is too strong and the waves are too big. You must not go to the deck. Have you put on your life jackets? Please reply!"
"I got it, Shan Falcon. I've entered the cabin and put on my life jacket."
"Yobate received, ..."
The soldiers answered one by one, but Qiao Xuejun did not hear Zhao Xian's voice.
She held the intercom tightly and continued to listen, but she did not hear Zhao Xian's voice. It was only Zhao Yun who was giving the orders.
The system said: "Host, Zhao Xian will be fine. He can live to the end."
Qiao Xuejun frowned: "...Then why is there no sound? Can you see his position?"
The system was embarrassed: "Host, I can only see the deck. He is not on the deck."
System: "Host, why doesn't he come to see you?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Why did he come to see me?"
System: "Aren't you two on good terms, good friends? If it was Doctor Wang, he would definitely come to see you. He is not as good as Doctor Wang."
Qiao Xuejun: "...Didn't you hear the captain tell you not to move?"
Qiao Xuejun pursed her lips and continued to listen to the conversation on the radio.
The helmsman over there asked Qin Long: "Captain Qin, can't we speed up and go directly to the shore? It will be less than half an hour before we reach the shore, right?"
Captain Qin said calmly: "No, the wind is too strong. Based on my experience, we can only slow down and not speed up at this time. Speeding up will increase the impact of the wind and waves on the ship."
Zhao Yun: "We are now being countered by wind and ocean currents, spinning in circles."
When Qiao Xuejun heard this, she became confused again and walked to the window to look out. She squinted her eyes and could barely see the outline of a building that looked like an office building in the distance in the darkness.
She lay in front of the window for more than ten minutes and found that their boat was indeed spinning in circles. Using the office building as a reference, they sailed for more than ten minutes and the only thing that changed was the direction, not the distance.
The boat was shaking all the time and I felt a little seasick and dizzy.
After confirming, Qiao Xuejun came back and sat down, leaning against the gap between the bed and the corner, lowering her center of gravity, hoping to reduce the discomfort caused by the shaking.
On the radio, Zhao Yun was quiet for a while, then confirmed the situation with Qin Long: "Captain Qin, when can this situation be resolved? Are you sure?"
The calm and reliable Qin Long smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Zhao, nothing on the ship is 100% certain. I can only do my best. The rest will be decided by the sea."
"Damn it." Zhao Yun cursed inwardly, "What bad luck. Can we drop anchor? It's no good being blown around by the wind all the time."
Anchoring means hoisting a heavy anchor into the sea to stabilize the ship so that it does not drift with the waves. This is mainly achieved through the weight of the anchor itself.
Before Qin Long could say anything, Zhao Yun denied it himself: "No, with this wind force and this tonnage, if we drop the anchor, the anchor chain might break."
Qin Long: "That's right. So I don't agree with dropping anchor either."
Zhao Yun was a little annoyed: "What should we do? Just turn it like this? Can't it be solved?"
"Zhao Yun."
He was stopped.
Qiao Xuejun finally heard Zhao Xian's voice and breathed a sigh of relief. It was Zhao Xian, he was in the cockpit.
Zhao Yun stopped asking and yelling. Captain Qin said, "We just need to adjust here first and wait for the wind and waves to pass. Didn't the weather service expert say that the storm will most likely stop in four hours?"
The meteorologist said, “Yes.”
Zhao Yun frowned: "You mean, we have to wander around here for 4 hours?"
Qin Long laughed bitterly again: "Four hours is not too long. I have encountered this situation before when I went out to sea. The longest time was nine hours. As long as the situation does not deteriorate and the center of the storm does not move towards us, this situation is not fatal. As long as we operate properly, we can get through it smoothly."
Qin Long said: "So you don't have to worry too much. It's always like this when you go out to sea, the weather is unpredictable."
Zhao Xian: “Got it.”
Qiao Xuejun leaned against the wall and relaxed, listening to the captain's orders coming from Zhao Yun's radio.
The captain and his deck and engine departments did not use the First Base's channel, but opened a separate frequency specifically for maritime communications and issuing instructions.
It was only because Zhao Yun kept the radio on that Qiao Xuejun was able to hear the captain's instructions from the First Base patrol channel.
The captain over there remained calm and composed, issuing one order after another.
System: "Host, we are not moving."
Qiao Xuejun: “I know.”
After a while, light came in from the window.
Qiao Xuejun raised her head and looked outside.
Normally in the mountains, there are three or four hours of daylight, but you often can't see the sun, only the deep clouds above your head.
But it seemed different at sea. When that ray of golden sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, Qiao Xuejun stretched out her hand to the front and caught the golden warmth.
She looked up: "The sun is out."
She stood up, swayed with the rocking boat, stood firm, and walked to the window.
It's one o'clock in the afternoon and the sun is almost in the middle of the sky, but when I look up I can barely see half of its outline.
The sun was shining, but the wind and waves never stopped, hitting the boat again and again, treating it like a piece of dough that could be rolled or flattened.
Qiao Xuejun: "I haven't seen the sun for a long time."
System: "Me too."
Qiao Xuejun suddenly picked up the radio and turned on the speaking button: "Calling the Lord, calling the Lord."
Zhao Xian responded immediately: "Are you awake?"
Qiao Xuejun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How much of a heart do I have to have to keep sleeping in this situation?"
Everyone can hear this channel. Qiao Xuejun didn't say much, but just pretended to be ignorant and asked: "What time is it now? How long will it take us to arrive?"
Zhao Xian: "Estimated 4 hours. It's 1 o'clock now."
"Yeah." Qiao Xuejun heard the answer she already knew, and then naturally followed up with the next sentence, "No wonder the sun is out."
"Zhao Xian, do you see the sun?"
Zhao Xian responded softly: "Well, I haven't seen this kind of sunshine for a long time."
Qiao Xuejun wanted to say something else when she heard the system warning: "Host, I saw someone on the deck. It's Shen Xingtang!"
