Chapter 22 Crisis 1
Zhao Yue decisively gave the order, "If you can't change the route, try not to enter the middle area of the reef."
They had once strayed into the water by mistake. If there had not been a rescue ship behind them, the consequences would have been disastrous. A ship of such a large size could not have gotten through unscathed.
If you stay there for too long, you will be trapped there and die, or your boat will be overturned by the waves, and you will definitely die.
Captain Wu nodded and took those people back to the cab.
"Captain, it's a good thing we found the problem with the engine before, otherwise we would be in great danger!"
Captain Wu looked at the person who had just spoken, "That's right, but it's going to be a tough battle, we can't give up!"
Several people knew very well that if they were not careful in operation, the entire ship including them would be buried in the sea.
The rain outside was getting heavier and the visibility was getting lower and lower. They could only rely on their senses to determine the direction.
Su Jinxia pulled out the needle and looked at the old man's eyelids again.
"Master, can you hear me?"
The old man nodded to indicate that he could hear. He tried to open his mouth, panting, but no sound came out. However, he could feel that his condition was much better. His body was not as numb as before. He had saved his life! He silently memorized the little girl's appearance in his heart and would definitely repay her in the future!
Su Jinxia told the people around her, "The boat is shaking violently, remember not to let him hit his head, and you also have to pay attention to safety."
Those people nodded to show that they understood. They were all the old man's students, and the little girl in front of them solved a big problem for them, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
When Su Jinxia stood up, the boat started to shake again. Her feet were unstable and she thought she was going to fall, but Zhao Yue held her up by the waist.
There was only a tiny bit of light in the dim room, and the two looked at each other.
Zhao Yue helped the man up and then pulled him to the edge.
Su Jinxia, "It's so windy outside."
Zhao Yue, "I will try my best to ensure your safety. Follow me and don't run around."
Su Jinxia looked at him. In his last life, he injured his leg while saving someone. Did he ever regret it?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Yue felt the movement and pulled the person into his arms again.
Sure enough, the next second the boat began to shake again, and I hugged her tightly. Her body was really soft, her waist was so thin, and I could smell a faint floral scent when I got close.
Su Jinxia did not push it this time and felt very safe in his arms.
I remind myself again to eat more meat after I go back to keep my body strong.
There was no color outside, it was all pitch black. The strong wind kept blowing, and the sound of waves hitting the boat from time to time, striking people's hearts again and again.
Someone started crying, "I don't want to die! I want to go back!"
"Why are you crying, you grown man? We haven't cried yet!" The woman wrapped her clothes tightly, "Look at your lack of ambition. Everyone will die sooner or later. If you really die here, it's your fate."
The man burst into tears again, "If I had known I would not have rushed everyone to board the ship. How could I have been so stupid? This is costing me my life!"
The person next to him patted his head and said, "It's all because of you. I didn't want to get on the boat.
It’s because you guys don’t care about your life, otherwise why would I die! "
Some people looked at the young man with unfriendly eyes, as if they were about to hit him in the next second.
Su Jinxia had seen many such scenes and had long been numb, but she couldn't panic at this moment. Just when she was about to speak, she heard Zhao Yue say,
"No one is allowed to cause trouble. If you want to survive, unite and stop being selfish.
If anyone causes trouble at this time, don't blame me for being rude to him!"
Those who wanted to cause trouble immediately gave up their thoughts. These marines didn't look easy to mess with. They were also afraid of being thrown out.
The driver's cabin was hit by huge waves, and cracks appeared on the hard glass cover.
"Oh no!" The captain looked at the cracks on the glass with a lingering fear. He looked at the instrument panel again and found that it was almost completely paralyzed and out of function.
"Have you contacted the mainland?"
The crew shook his head at the captain and continued to call on the intercom.
"Island No. 7 needs support, Island No. 7 needs support!
Please reply if you can hear me! "
Another huge wave came and the boat began to rock again. They could only hold on to something beside them to keep steady.
Someone nearby said, "Given the current situation, if we accidentally enter the reef area, it is almost impossible to survive in such bad weather."
Captain Wu was confused. "What else can we do except take it one step at a time? Who allowed such bad weather to catch us up?"
That person was speechless. In this situation, they could only huddle together.
Suddenly the instruments began to flash, and then they felt the ship change direction.
"Why is this happening?" The crew member in charge of operating the instrument wanted to manipulate the instrument to restore it to normal, but found that nothing worked.
Captain Wu also panicked and ran over to start operating, but it was useless. Fortunately, the wind outside gradually calmed down and the shaking of the ship was not so severe.
"If we really enter the reef area, it's all over!" The crew member said this and sat limp on the ground. He couldn't accept dying at such a young age.
And if he died at sea, when would his family find him? I'm afraid they would only know that he was missing, but would not know where he was.
The sea is so vast that sunken ships can only remain on the bottom of the sea, and their bodies can only be eaten by fish in the water.
Zhao Yue felt that the boat was heading in the wrong direction and said to Su Jinxia,
"I'll go to the cab and take a look."
"I'll go with you." Su Jinxia stood up without hesitation. She did not forget that her purpose was to prevent Zhao Yue from experiencing the tragedy of the last time.
Zhao Yue had no objection. When he reached the door, he gave some instructions to Sun Hu and then walked towards the driver's room.
I saw that the wind outside was not very strong anymore. I guess we had left the strong wind area and the waves were much smaller than before.
They came to the cockpit and saw the numbers on the instruments, and he immediately realized that the ship was out of control.
When Captain Wu saw him coming, he completely broke down and shouted at him, "It's over, everything is over!"
