Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Dangers Surround

“Boom——”

The jet gun with blue flames fell into the water, and the fuel floating on the water surface was instantly ignited. The fire spread at lightning speed, and in a moment, the entire area of ​​the water was engulfed by the fire, turning into a scorching sea of ​​fire.

The Ever Leap, located in the center, was instantly surrounded by blazing flames. The bottom plate and hull of the ship that were stained with fuel also began to burn, and there was a tendency for the flames to spread upwards against the rain.

Thick smoke rose up. In just a few seconds, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke filled the air. The person who fell into the water disappeared completely without even a cry for help.

"Gu Mengran, Liang Zhao!"

The water surface was completely invisible, but Xiaodong still refused to give up. He held onto the guardrail and shouted at the top of his lungs. The thick smoke blocked his face, so his expression could not be seen clearly. However, his voice was mixed with endless despair and grief.

Fang Jie was also in an extremely heavy mood. Her relatives and friends died one after another, and her kind-hearted neighbor also lost his life... The fire burned out all hope. Those who might have been rescued or had a glimmer of hope were all buried in the sea of ​​fire.

There is no time to linger, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, if we don’t run away, there will be no chance!

Fang Jie made up her mind and forced herself not to look at the water anymore. She turned around and walked towards the cockpit. "Don't just stand there! Everyone, go back to the cabin. We have to leave as soon as possible."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, move, throw down the escape ladder, the fire is coming!"

"The ship is about to leave. Stay away from the guardrail and return to the cabin!"

"The smoke is too thick, block the windows and cover your mouth and nose!"

…

“Woo woo woo—”

The whistle blasted loudly, and the roar of the engine was deafening. The huge ship surrounded by flames began to move again, and the propeller submerged in the water spun at high speed, pushing the huge ship backward rapidly.

The flames spread very quickly, like a fierce and agile fire snake. Every time the Ever Leap retreated an inch, it was chased by it. It was entangled by the propeller and then came back again, devouring everything madly and wantonly.

As if racing against time, the Ever Leap stepped on the accelerator and fled at full speed. It finally shook off the fire snakes that were chasing it. The flames attached to the hull turned into dense fire spiders, which quickly crawled along the hull towards the deck.

The temperature in the cabin rose rapidly and various alarms sounded.

The cockpit was in chaos. Just when Sister Fang thought she was doomed to die, Zhou Jing and Xiao Dong found a high-pressure water gun from somewhere, and led their men to the open deck in the thick smoke to clean the dirt on the hull.

One side fled while the other side chased, in a life-and-death race of two minutes, the Ever Given retreated to the depths of Fengjin Lake at the fastest speed, completely escaping the range of the fuel leak.

The thick smoke that covered the sky gradually dissipated and the suffocating temperature no longer rose.

It seemed that they were saved, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the ship suddenly began to shake violently. The unsuspecting villagers were thrown all over the place. They thought that the Ever Leap had broken down due to the high temperature, but the next moment, the high-frequency sounds told them the truth.

"Retreat, keep retreating! It's not the boat that's shaking, it's the water that's shaking."

"Attention all ships! Adjust course and sail at full speed. Immediately adopt the "Z" sailing method to resist the impact of waves!"

"Ever Leap, be careful...hiss, hiss--"

"Bang--"

The earth shook violently, and a deafening roar echoed in the waters at the entrance of the village.

The Heng Rong Sheng, which had sunk into the water and was carrying thousands of tons of fuel, exploded like the angry roar of a giant beast. The scorching flames suddenly rose into the sky along with the thick smoke, expanding rapidly like a huge fireball, surrounded by splashes of water and heat waves, and exploded with a loud bang.

The force was like an earthquake, and a strong shock wave swept over, flattening the mountain to the ground in an instant, and burning mud blocks even flew hundreds of meters away...

The already unsettled water surface was stirred up by turbulent waves, one after another, condensing into a huge wall of water. Waves dozens of meters above the water surface suddenly hit down, and even the ships that had retreated to safe waters could not avoid being affected.

The distance was still far, and there was no direct impact from the waves and shock waves, but it was as if a flood gate had suddenly opened in front of us, and surging waves swept in. The power system seemed to fail in an instant, and the huge impact force pushed the boat away.

Thick, choking smoke and scorching sparks kept chasing them, and with the help of the east wind, the three ships sailed at full speed, one after the other, swaying and rocking along the current.

After retreating nearly ten kilometers, the creepy aftershock was finally left behind. Seeing the two red dots on the radar begin to slow down, Sister Fang's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she collapsed on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the silent high-frequency sound crackled a few times, and then Master Meng's hearty laughter came through the loudspeaker: "Hahaha! Not bad, not bad, Gu Mengran, your boating skills have obviously improved, and you are as good as I was in my day."

Her heart, which hadn't even fallen back into her stomach, instantly rose to her throat. Sister Fang's head was buzzing. She looked at the high frequency of the flashing green breathing light, and her hands hanging by her side trembled slightly.

Should I take it or not? If I took it, how should I answer?

Sister Fang was undecided, and the high frequency sounded again: "Why aren't you talking? Isn't it Gu Mengran who's driving? Can Ever Leap hear you?"

"I can, I can hear you, Master Meng." Xu Fang picked up the pager. Her voice was so hoarse that she scared herself the moment she opened her mouth.

The old man immediately recognized her, laughed and said, "It's Xiaofang, so you were the one driving the boat just now? You have good skills! Where are my two boys? Why didn't they help you and didn't say a word."

Xu Fang's breathing stagnated and the pager slipped from her hand, hitting the console with a clang.

"What's going on? What's making such a big noise?"

"No, it's okay." Xu Fang picked up the pager again, took two deep breaths, and tried her best to calm her rapid breathing.

Zhou Jing, who had been watching Xu Fang for a long time, could no longer hold back. He decisively reached out and snatched the pager from her hand, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. Gu Mengran and Liang Zhao... fell into the water earlier, and I couldn't catch them. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

The other party was silent for a long time, so long that Zhou Jing thought there would be no response. The old man's unusually calm voice sounded again: "Before? When did it fall? Before the explosion or after the explosion?"

"Before the explosion." Zhou Jing bit his lip tightly and continued, "In order to save us and to grab the fire source from the captain, Liang Zhao slipped and fell down, and Gu Mengran... jumped down right after him."

"But I didn't catch the fire they had risked their lives to create, and the jet gun still fell into the water, and the water surface suddenly caught fire, and they—"

"They're fine," the old man interrupted him, muttering as if to himself, "Don't worry, don't apologize, they'll be fine."

"Master Meng, please don't be like this." Xu Fang's eyes instantly turned red, and she choked up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me—"

The old man was obviously unhappy. His voice dropped and he interrupted her sharply, "Alright! Why are you crying? I said it's okay, then it's okay. My Meng Ran is very powerful. He will be absolutely fine!"

"We just need to wait here. We just need to wait. He, he will come find us when he is safe. He will definitely come!"

…

In the blue sky and white clouds, in the silent space, Gu Mengran almost fainted from falling. With his head spinning, he supported himself on the ground with his hands and sat up with great difficulty, enduring the severe pain.

My hands and arms were burning with pain. The skin burned by the flames was like mottled bark, wrinkled and sticky to the flesh. The burning pain was suffocating.

The jet gun hit the water before him, and the fire was already burning when he entered the water.

As expected, his arms were burned and a lot of his hair was singed, but he was lucky enough to be one second later than Liang Zhao. In the same position and with almost the same amount of time, he caught Liang Zhao before the flames exploded.

There is a big difference between jumping into the water and falling into the water. Gu Mengran adjusted his angle before entering the water and sacrificed his arms to make a way for himself, while Liang Zhao, who was brought into the water by Dong Hongbo, had no chance to adjust at all. A large area of ​​his body was in contact with the water surface and he endured a considerable impact, which was only slightly better than falling on the concrete floor.

The man was completely knocked unconscious and lay on the ground.

Ignoring the stinging in his arm, Gu Mengran shook his head to keep himself awake, then reached out to feel Liang Zhao's breath, patted his cheek, and called softly, "Liang Zhao, wake up Liang Zhao."

His breathing was steady and his face was slightly pale. He was not yet on fire when he fell into the water and had basically no skin injuries. But the strange thing was that no matter how Gu Mengran called out, Liang Zhao did not respond at all.

Worried about broken bones or internal injuries, Gu Mengran endured the severe pain and checked Liang Zhao's body, but found nothing unusual.

I had experienced similar symptoms before when I had a fever from a virus, so it shouldn't be a big problem. It was impossible not to worry, and Gu Mengran had no choice but to try his best to encourage himself.

There were only two people in the completely enclosed space. If both of them fell down, they would be doomed. Gu Mengran took two minutes to calm himself down. He immediately got up from the ground, staggered to the upstream of the stream, and used the stream water to wash his wounds.

Blisters had gradually appeared and the skin had peeled off in many places. Without anti-inflammatory and sterilizing medicine, it was easy to get infected. The clothes on his body were also very dirty. Gu Mengran was desperate and picked a few bitter melon leaves from the space as gauze, and used loofah vines to wrap his arms.

After hastily treating the wound, Gu Mengran sat back next to Liang Zhao and started to think again.

With thousands of tons of fuel, it is estimated that the fire on the water will not be extinguished in a short time.

You can enter and exit from the same place. If you leave before the fire is out, it is basically tantamount to suicide.

It would be a good idea to stay in the space for a few more days. The space is no longer the empty space it used to be. There is stream water, and food includes eggs, cucumbers, bitter melons, eggplants... Anyway, you won't starve to death.

Most importantly, he didn't know what was happening outside. Did the Ever Leap escape? Did Grandpa and Zheng Yijie evacuate in time? Gu Mengran was worried.

If you can't get out, it's useless to think about it! Gu Mengran sighed, looked back at the lush vegetable garden behind him, and decided to get moving to make himself and Liang Zhao live a little more comfortably in the next few days.
