Keep the change, please.
"Su Xi is back," Jin Xilu said hurriedly.
Hearing this, both Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin visibly breathed a sigh of relief. However, the latter's face was frighteningly gloomy, and Lu Wuyai did not dare to speak to her.
However, when he saw Gu Yuxin walking straight towards the cabin, his steps quickened, as if something was rapidly brewing.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Yuxin walked up to Su Xi, who was surrounded by people, and waved to her opponents.
It's broken.
Five bright red finger marks were left on Su Xi's fair cheek, and then the other person's hair stood on end.
"Gu Yuxin, why did you hit me?" Su Xi rushed forward, only to be kicked away by Gu Yuxin. After all, Gu Yuxin's physical abilities were no different from ordinary men, perhaps even stronger. Su Xi alone was no match for Gu Yuxin.
"You are the one I need to defeat," Gu Yuxin thought to herself, holding her breath, unable to tolerate Su Xi's behavior.
Although Lu Wuyai's decision to leave the other person alone in the container was not good, it was ultimately Su Xi's fault.
As a result, Su Xi was kicked by Gu Yuxin again, and her heart-wrenching screams were simply unbearable.
It wasn't until half an hour later that both sides gradually calmed down, and the atmosphere finally allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Su Xi still stared at Gu Yuxin, her eyes red, looking very aggrieved and unwilling.
"Hold it in for me," Gu Yuxin said coldly.
Su Xi sniffed; this was the first time in her life she had been beaten like this by a woman.
No one else dared to say anything; they were genuinely terrified by Gu Yuxin's actions.
An over-the-shoulder throw caused Su Xi to faint for a minute. When she woke up, she felt that her bones were broken and she burst into tears.
Gu Yuxin's treatment of Su Xi gave Lu Wuyai a chilling feeling.
Even if Su Xi was wrong, what she's doing now is a bit excessive.
However, no one dared to cause trouble. They also saw that Gu Yuxin hit Su Xi to make her realize her mistake. After all, we are a team, and everyone gets anxious when problems arise.
An hour later, watching Su Xi sleep soundly, Gu Yuxin gradually calmed down, and the environment in the cabin was no longer as oppressive as before.
"Let's go."
Gu Yuxin glared at him angrily, which made Lu Wuyai feel a little embarrassed, but in the end he shamelessly sat down next to her and told her not to be angry.
Others stepped forward, but Gu Yuxin's eyes turned red, and she was almost crying.
Lu Wuyai knew that the other party had been worried about Su Xi, but he was also very angry, and it was inevitable that he would lose control of his emotions.
"Alright, don't be angry." Lu Wuyai patted her shoulder to reassure her.
Su Xi woke up at lunchtime, but when she looked at Gu Yuxin, her eyes still revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and fear.
Su Xi only started crying again after Gu Yuxin gave her a piece of braised pork.
As a result, I finished the meal in tears.
In the afternoon, Lu Wuyai went out again. Because the daytime exploration of the containers had been postponed, he planned to go alone this time.
If he goes alone, there won't be too many worries, and the women can rest assured that Lu Wuyai is always tied with a life rope.
"I'm leaving." Lu Wuyai said goodbye, giving Gu Yuxin and Su Xi a special look.
"Let's go." Morroy gave Lu Wuyai a push.
After leaving the cockpit, Lu Wuyai ran forward quickly, almost getting hit in the face by the container door that was blown open by the strong wind.
"Call up."
Through the mask, Lu Wuyai touched his forehead with the back of his hand. He was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. The sweat froze into ice crystals, sticking to his body and making him feel cold all over.
Ten minutes later, he saw a ladder, grabbed it, walked a little further, and began climbing a nearby second-floor container.
As the ice storm gradually cleared, many boxes were covered with a layer of ice crystals, which not only obscured the information on the stickers, but also sometimes rendered the iron doors immovable even when the safety bolts were broken. This caused Lu Wuyai a lot of trouble.
As for the more advanced shipping containers, Lu Wuyai wasn't prepared to climb up. He couldn't climb up, and even if he did, it would be difficult to bring the goods down intact.
Lu Wuyai spent the entire afternoon searching for and recording supplies. Although there weren't many surprises, it did enrich their logbook.
When they returned to the cabin, Lu Wuyai handed the notebook to Song Xiaoyou, asking her to do the daily statistics and drawing.
The white paper contains numerous drawings that detail the location of each container and the materials stored within them.
"Bring some walkie-talkies back tomorrow," Song Xiaoyou said to Lu Wuyai.
"I found it."
Lu Wuyai took out three walkie-talkies from his backpack, which was also filled with snacks, and tested them. They worked quite well. They could make calls with almost no interference, but that wasn't always the case in the outside world.
Gu Yuxin said, "The longest effective distance of this thing is only 50 to 100 meters. The total length of this cruise ship is about 300 meters."
"It's quite useful."
"Okay, as long as you know how to make a phone call, you can give it a try."
In fact, the container containing the walkie-talkie contained many electrical appliances. Lu Wuyai planned to take a closer look tomorrow.
No one slept well that night. The hull was frequently scratched by unidentified objects, making a piercing sound.
Lu Wuyai also went out to take a look, but could only see some blurry, indistinct objects in the storm. It wasn't any person or creature deliberately hitting the hull.
"Go to sleep," Lu Wuyai said to the other women as they returned to their cabin.
Gu Yuxin stood up, rummaged through her backpack, took out some cotton, and stuffed it into her ears so that the sound wouldn't be so clear.
Others followed suit and managed to get through the night.
When I woke up in the morning, the wind was lashing against the hull of the boat, making a creaking sound.
At first, Su Xi and the others thought the ship was rocking and were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe.
Later, Lu Wuyai went to the cockpit and found that some iron bars on the ship were shaking, and the wind was stronger than it had been a few days before.
"Why is the wind so strong?" Lu Wuyai dared not linger; he felt as if he were about to be blown away by the wind.
As a result, the iron door behind him was blown away by the wind as soon as he stepped into the cockpit.
With a bang.
The iron gate receded into the distance, and the cockpit was filled with a whirlwind.
Lu Wuyai found that he could not even breathe properly, with strong winds constantly pouring into his mouth, let alone his nostrils.
Gritting his teeth, Lu Wuyai ran into the cabin, closed the door, and then his heart sank.
"What's wrong?" The woman in the room had no idea what was happening outside. She saw that Lu Wuyai's face was covered in ice shards; apparently, his gas mask had been blown away.
Lu Wuyai rubbed his face and told the story again.
Gu Yuxin said, "The cockpit is our watchtower; we can't lose it."
Lu Wuyai looked distressed. Of course he knew, but the door was blown shut by the wind, so why not use something to block it?
The metal plates in those containers are fine, but unfortunately they can't get out now. The wind is too strong; it could blow Lu Wuyai away, let alone the other women.
“Go check the crew’s quarters. There are many iron doors there. Take them away and block the doorway,” Gu Yuxin said.
Lu Wuyai could only get up and check, and found that the iron gates could indeed be removed with a screwdriver, which was not a difficult task.
"Let me do it." Lu Wuyai quickly began dismantling the doors. In a short time, the three iron doors were removed.
The reason three of them were removed was that the cockpit doors were too wide, and the iron doors of these bedrooms could not be closed tightly. So, Lu Wuyai and his team decided to make them longer and wider, so that the width of the three iron doors would be sufficient for the length of the entrance.
When she opened the cabin door, a strong gust of wind blew in, making the woman shiver and shrink her neck.
Lu Wuyai walked out, squinting, his gas mask firmly fastened to his face. This time, it wasn't blown away by the strong wind.
With a bang, Lu Wuyai placed the iron door at the entrance to the cockpit and began to temporarily fix one side of the iron door with glue.
Actually, the pressure difference between the inside and outside could also secure the iron door, but just in case, Lu Wuyai prepared an extra hand.
Soon, the cockpit quieted down.
Inside the cockpit, Lu Wuyai gazed at the three immovable iron doors, feeling the temperature inside the cabin slowly rising.
"The door is blocked." Lu Wuyai turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.
The women also came out of the cabin and stood in the cockpit, looking at the scenery outside as if it were the end of the world.
At this moment, Song Xiaoyou stretched out her hand, pointed ahead, and said, "Those poles look like they're about to fall over."
Lu Wuyai nodded, feeling somewhat worried. If these iron bars were blown away by the wind, they could potentially damage the cab.
Especially these glass panes, although they have been confirmed to be bulletproof, may not be able to withstand this wave of damage.
"Let's go back first," Lu Wuyai said. He could already smell the aroma of the porridge; he was really hungry.
However, after breakfast, the crunching sound grew louder and louder. Finally, Lu Wuyai heard a click and quickly told everyone to cover their ears.
The next second, a loud bang came from the cockpit, followed by a chain reaction. Lu Wuyai guessed that the flagpoles, bearing the flags of various countries around the world, were blown down one after another.
Lu Wuyai opened the hatch and saw that the window in the cockpit had been repeatedly slammed by several iron bars. Although the glass was not broken, the frame holding the glass was bent.
Fortunately, the nearby utility poles have been blown down, so there will be no further danger.
The wind howled, and it was evening again.
The wind subsided slightly, but it didn't stop. It brought with it a massive amount of ice crystals, sweeping across the world from the northwest.
Lu Wuyai felt that this season was terrifying. Last year it was smoggy weather, now it's icy weather. It's been going on for almost five months since last November, and the ice storm has lasted for two months.
“If this continues, we may not be able to return to April.” Lu Wuyai shook his head, left the bridge, and returned to his cabin.
After listening to Lu Wuyai's words, Gu Yuxin said, "Although this ice storm may last until May, there are some things we can do in advance."
"Think about it, it must have been really difficult to take so much stuff away."
"There are also vehicles. The compartments inside the containers have been specially reinforced so they weren't frozen. If we leave, we'll have to use them because the original cars are no longer usable."
Everyone gathered together to discuss how to act as quickly as possible after the ice storm ended, and the most crucial issue was unloading the cargo.
"The cruise ship should be about 40 meters away from the ice now," Song Xiaoyou said, adding that her visual distance measurements have always been very accurate.
If you throw anything from a height of forty meters, as long as it has a certain weight, it could cause problems, let alone a car.
“We don’t have a suspension machine here, which is a real problem.”
“It’s not here, but maybe it’s in the supplies in the container,” Su Xi said.
Everyone expressed doubt, but no one could be sure. After all, there were so many containers holding everything.
“You can also use pulleys, but it’s a bit cumbersome and accidents can happen,” Gu Yuxin said. “Using pulleys to save energy is indeed advisable, but it can be difficult in practice.”
"In any case, our departure time is still uncertain, so we might find some special tools while searching for supplies." Gu Yuxin, who was also standing by, told everyone to relax and take things slowly.
The next day at noon, Lu Wuyai originally wanted to explore the containers as usual, but the storm was still so fierce that he had to give up the idea.
That afternoon, just before lunchtime, Lu Wuyai suddenly felt that the outside world was very quiet, so he opened the iron gate and walked into the cockpit.
"The storm has subsided considerably." Lu Wuyai quickly called everyone over.
They pushed open the cockpit door and walked onto the deck, feeling the ice crystals blowing through the air. As the wind subsided, even they could bear it.
"We will use this moment to quickly search the containers on the third floor and above," Lu Wuyai shouted.
He ran deep into the container, took out a hidden ladder, and began climbing onto the containers near the driver's cab. He recorded all the information he saw and handed it to Song Xiaoyou for analysis.
“There’s actually a water source on the fourth floor.” Lu Wuyai looked at a box on the fourth floor. The distance between it and the cabin was approximately between two points. The shortest line segment was less than ten meters.
In this area, the fourth floor had the tallest boxes. Lu Wuyai walked up to it, wrote down the information from the stickers and the corresponding box numbers on a piece of paper, and tossed it to Song Xiaoyou.
To be honest, Lu Wuyai was a little worried about himself standing at such a high place. After all, the storm had been quite fierce. If it had come suddenly, he would definitely have been blown away.
Around 9 p.m., Lu Wuyai left the private room and went back to the cabin with Song Xiaoyou and the others to have dinner.
After finishing their meal, Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin continued walking on the containers. Unsure if the storm would intensify again, they decided to use this time to record the information on the containers.
That night, Lu Wuyai and the others walked and stopped intermittently as a strong wind began to rise and fall.
"They've gone back." Lu Wuyai rubbed his face. Prolonged exposure to the air had caused frostbite on his face, even turning it black.
The power of the ice storm intensified once again, and the group jogged all the way back to the cockpit.
At this point, the old iron bars were no longer visible on the cockpit. They had been placed in some container compartments and were prepared to be used as mechanical rods for suspending pulleys.
“Okay.” Lu Wuyai saw Gu Yuxin playing with rollers of various sizes on a piece of white paper, drawing all sorts of circles.
"It's definitely possible," Gu Yuxin said confidently.
After finishing their meal, the doors to the cabins were closed, and everyone crawled into their sleeping bags to prepare for sleep.
But before they could get a good night's sleep, everyone opened their eyes from under the covers.
"Did you hear that?" Gu Yuxin asked the others, but their gazes all turned to Lu Wuyai. His hearing was the best.
Lu Wuyai nodded; he thought he had just heard an explosion.
Even with clothes on, the outside world was still shrouded in ice crystals, and the temperature was very low at night.
Lu Wuyai was the first to enter the cockpit. He observed the surroundings through the glass but found nothing unusual.
Then, he walked out of the cockpit, onto the deck, and circled the entrance. As a result, Lu Wuyai saw a ball of fire quickly extinguished.
"I can't tell what it is," Lu Wuyai wondered if it was an airplane.
Turning around, he saw Song Xiaoyou walking over and immediately offered her a seat. The view from here was the best, and he wanted her to see what it was all about.
Song Xiaoyou watched for a while, then suddenly leaned forward. In the storm, there were a few moments when his vision was clear.
"Someone's coming."
"All right."
Lu Wuyai's eyes widened. Realizing the meaning behind Song Xiaoyou's words, his body suddenly tensed up, and his eyes stared straight ahead.
"Was that fire on an airplane?" Lu Wuyai asked hurriedly.
Song Xiaoyou nodded. She did see planes, but there was more than one.
“The fire just now was indeed caused by a plane explosion, but there’s another plane over there too.” Song Xiaoyou pointed to the northwest.
For the time being, Lu Wuyai couldn't see anything. In his eyes, everything was flying ice crystals, accompanied by a gale, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.
Several minutes later, Lu Wuyai heard Song Xiaoyou's voice again.
"Dead."
Hearing this, Lu Wuyai was not surprised. It was very difficult for people to survive in this kind of weather.
But just as the two were about to leave, Song Xiaoyou suddenly stopped again, her eyes still fixed on the distance.
"What's wrong."
"It seems that some people did get off the plane."
real.
Lu Wuyai also looked ahead. The ice storm had weakened. In the darkness, his vision allowed him to see very far. However, the green fruit he had brought had long been eaten. Apart from Song Xiaoyou, everyone else's night vision had been greatly reduced, and he estimated that he would lose his night vision in another month.
Two minutes later, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou were shivering from the cold. They hadn't worn warm clothes when they went out. They had reached their physical limits.
Left with no other choice, the two of them had to turn back the way they came, put on warm clothes, and then come out again. As for the other women, they followed them onto the deck.
In the pitch-black night, no one could see them except them.
Several bright lights appeared in the darkness, swaying up and down, left and right.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai could clearly see many people running in all directions. Because it was very dark, he couldn't find the cruise ship at all.
