Chapter 411 Thick Fog
Su Ying looked at the prompts on the instrument and found that there were reefs on all sides ahead and there was no exit to pass through.
"What's going on?"
The pirate leader ran outside to check the situation. Looking at the reef in front of him, he couldn't help wondering, "This is strange. When did this reef become like this?"
"The floating reef will move, so it's normal for it to be different."
Su Ying didn't find a way out from the instrument. She walked outside the cabin, took out a telescope and observed the surrounding situation. She found that they were surrounded by floating reefs. There might be reefs under the only exit. In this situation, how could they get through?
"What's wrong? Can't we pass through that gap?" Motu asked while standing on the deck.
Su Ying shook her head, "There are reefs below."
It is not easy for them to retreat from their current position. If they can't get through, they will be trapped here and die.
Su Ying returned to the cabin and changed into a diving suit. She wanted to go into the sea to determine how far the reef was from the sea surface and whether their ship could pass through.
Mo Tu saw that Su Ying was about to go down and pulled her back, "Let me go."
"No need. You should always pay attention to the wind direction on the boat. If the wind blows at this time, the risk of the ship running aground will increase." After saying that, Su Ying warmed up a little and dived into the sea.
The cold sea water instantly surrounded her, but fortunately the diving suit was temperature-controllable. Although the duration was limited, it was better than nothing.
Su Ying swam quickly towards the gap. When she got closer, she took out the lighting tools and could clearly see the reef hidden underneath.
The reef was much larger than she had imagined. It was hidden under the sea like a small mountain.
Su Ying swam over, returned to the space, took out the measuring instrument, and began to survey the width of this section of the reef and the height from the highest point to the surface.
After making the calculation, she swam back to the boat to measure the draft of the boat to determine whether the boat could pass over the reef.
Su Ying's figure moved back and forth between the reefs and the ship, and she did not notice the danger approaching from behind.
When she returned to the reef for a final confirmation, the group of sharks was slowly approaching her.
Motu took the telescope and saw the shark's fin at a glance. His heart was in his throat.
Motu quickly returned to the cabin, and when he came out again, he had a harpoon in his hand.
However, there was still some distance between the ship and the reef, and his harpoon simply did not have such a long range.
Motu asked the pirate leader to drive the boat closer, and when they got close, he suddenly threw the harpoon in his hand.
With a loud "splash", the harpoon pierced a shark.
The shark struggled in the water in pain, and the bright red blood also stimulated the surrounding sharks to turn around and chase it.
The spreading of blood also made Su Ying realize that something was wrong.
She looked back and saw schools of sharks being attracted in another direction.
After completing the survey, Su Ying swam quickly towards the direction of the ship.
Seeing Su Ying surfacing, Motu quickly threw the hemp rope over and said, "There are man-eating fish in the water, come up quickly."
Su Ying grabbed the hemp rope and returned to the boat.
Queque quickly held the towel and handed it to Su Ying, "Sister, wipe it quickly and don't catch a cold."
Motu just glanced at her and turned his back.
"Thank you." Su Ying wrapped her body with a cloth and went back to the cabin to take off her diving suit. When she came out, Motu had already brought her the boiled hot water.
"Drink something hot first to get rid of the cold."
Su Ying glanced at him and said, "Okay."
"According to the survey data, the top of the reef is a certain distance from the sea surface. Judging from the draft of the ship, we can definitely pass over the reef. The distance between the floating reefs on both sides is a bit narrow, so we have to be careful not to touch the sides of the ship when passing through."
Although there are certain risks, it is not a dead end after all. Otherwise, it would be terrible if you could neither get out nor retreat.
After a short rest, Su Ying went to the cabin. In order to avoid any unexpected events, she decided to go there first.
She steered the steering wheel carefully to avoid the floating reefs on both sides.
Just as they were about to pass through, a sea breeze suddenly blew, bringing with it a thick white fog that almost blocked all sight ahead, making visibility frighteningly low.
Su Ying looked at the instrument. Fortunately, there were no obvious reefs ahead, so they should be safe temporarily after passing through this hole.
But the fog was getting thicker and thicker. If it weren’t for the instruments, Su Ying wouldn’t dare to move forward rashly.
Fortunately, they successfully crossed the floating reef, but the fog outside was so thick that they had no way of determining the direction.
Su Ying pondered for a moment and decided to go forward a little further. After all, they were still too close to the reef and might run aground at any time. It would not be too late to go forward and stop when they were farther away from the reef.
After sailing for some distance, Su Ying stopped the boat.
"Rest first and wait until the fog clears a little before leaving."
"kindness."
Su Ying had been standing on the deck and observing the surrounding situation through a telescope, but the fog was too thick and she couldn't see anything so she had to give up.
Su Ying suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming from behind her. She turned back alertly and met Motu's bloodshot eyes. He clenched the harpoon in his hand and stabbed at Su Ying without hesitation.
Su Ying supported her hands on the guardrail and turned her body 360 degrees to barely avoid Motu's attack.
Motu had no intention of stopping. If his first move failed, he would attack again, and every move was fatal.
Su Ying turned around and ran towards the cabin in the thick fog.
Seeing this, Motu followed closely. Su Ying returned to her room, quickly closed the door, and entered the space.
As soon as she entered, she fell to the ground and her consciousness began to become blurred.
She closed her eyes and shook her head. When she opened her eyes again, she seemed to see Xiao Jin waving at her.
Su Ying knew that she was hallucinating.
She propped herself up and walked to the medicine cabinet, rummaging through it quickly. She found a blue injection and quickly injected it into herself.
She half leaned against the operating table, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and only slowly opened her eyes after feeling the effect of the medicine.
After recovering, Su Ying took a gas mask from the shelf and put it on before leaving the space.
The door was kicked in. Su Ying thought of Motu who had inexplicably lost control, and worried about Queque's safety, so she immediately left the cabin.
At this time, the entire ship was surrounded by thick fog.
"Sparrow, sparrow."
Su Ying looked around and found that there was no one in the cabin.
Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting above my head, coming from the direction of the cabin.
Su Ying looked up and saw the harpoon in Motu's hand stabbing towards the pirate leader.
Fortunately, the pirate leader also had kung fu to protect himself, and the two of them were entangled in a battle.
Su Ying turned into the cabin and knocked Mo Tu unconscious before he could come to his senses.
Seeing Motu fall down, the pirate leader still had no intention of letting him go. He pounced on him, but was kicked to the ground by Su Ying.
The pirate leader's eyes rolled back and he became dizzy.
