We struggled with the rough waves for nearly 4 hours before we got a chance to breathe. By this time, the work on the deck was basically completed. All the supplies that needed to be fixed were tightly tied to the iron nails nailed to the deck with nylon rope nets. ring. Those that were not fixed in time were all washed into the sea and became sacrifices to the Sea Dragon King.

Zhang Baldzi wanted to use an iron hook to bring back some floating cargo on the sea, but the boss of the boat disagreed. He said that the fishermen in Xisha have their own rules. Anything that falls into the seabed belongs to the Sea Dragon King. He must not do it before worshiping Mazu. Fish it out.

As the Romans do, we have no choice but to watch the goods disappear under the rolling sea.

The southeast wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the wave height had almost reached seven meters. The captain of the boat shouted at us to go back to the warehouse. Even the sailors had to tie a rope around their waists before they could go out to work.

I was about to go back to the warehouse. In the blink of an eye, a seven-story-high wave hit the boat, causing the boat to fly up. I heard a scream and looked back quickly, only to see a person being hit by the boat. He was thrown outside the side of the ship. An Ning and Zhang Tuzi grabbed his clothes to prevent him from falling into the sea.

I rushed over to help, and the three of them hurriedly pulled the man up and took a look at his face. Damn it! It’s Wu Yong again. Damn this guy has such a short memory. He’s born with poor balance. We don’t blame you anymore. Yes, you keep running to the deck when you have nothing to do. Isn’t this intentional to cause trouble?

Wu Yong turned pale with fright and kept saying thank you. Zhang Tuzi told him to go back to the warehouse quickly and never come out again. The deck is very dangerous.

He pointed to the sea with trembling words, as if he wanted to say something else, but suddenly the captain of the boat shouted: "Squat down!"

Before we could hear the words clearly, a huge wave hit the side of the ship, and the hull made a painful twisting sound. The wave, which was as high as two people, rushed over the hull. Although we followed the order of the boss of the ship and squatted down to reduce the impact, Still unable to withstand the momentum, his body was swept into the waves. His eyes turned white, his ears banged, and he fell into the sea.

I stepped into the water and stuck my head out, and saw that the boat had drifted dozens of meters away. Zhang Baldy shouted to me while paddling: "I will chase the boat and ask them to turn around. You go find the other two people~".

The waves were surging with undercurrents, and all I could see was the white spray produced by the collision of the waves. I stepped on my feet desperately and looked around. Except for Zhang Tu, who was walking away, no one else was there.

A big wave came over just now, and the situation was chaotic. I didn't see clearly how many people were involved in the water. Now I don't know how to find it.

When I was at a loss, a man's head suddenly emerged from the wave to my left, shouted to me, and was immediately pushed underwater by another wave.

When I saw it was Aning, I hurriedly reached down to hug her and lifted her out of the water.

Aning was choked by the sea water and coughed. He just recovered and couldn't speak. He took a big breath and gestured to me.

I looked in the direction she pointed and saw a small dot floating up and down far away from us. I didn't know what it was.

Aning finally spoke at this time and shouted: "That...that's Wu Yong, go and save him!"

When I saw it, I was shocked. This guy couldn't swim. If he fell into such a rough sea and was hit by a few waves, he would be scared to death if he didn't drown.

Just as I was about to swim over to save him, a big wave suddenly came over and pushed us into the water. When I came out again, the little dot was gone.

Aning and I searched anxiously, but the little dot never appeared again. We don't know whether it was rolled farther away or sank into the water.

The situation is critical now, and there is no time to worry about others. We are now in the sea affected by a tropical storm. Although there is no danger for the time being, the waves here are too big. With our physical strength, we don’t know how long we can last. Can Zhang Tu catch up with the ship? Can the ship find us when it comes back?

They are all unknowns.

The waves came one after another, beating each other to form many rapid vortices. Various forces under the water converged and influenced each other, forming a large number of unpredictable currents.

Although I have no reference, I can feel the movement under the water. We are being forced in one direction by a force, gradually moving away from our ship's route.

While fighting the waves, I asked Aning to swim back. If we floated in the water, the current would only carry us further away. By the time the boat came back to find us, we might have been washed up in the Malay Islands.

Swimming in the waves was so physically exhausting that I didn’t even know how long I had been swimming. I felt my hands gradually losing feeling, and the scene in front of me became blurry. I felt a little desperate. If this continued, neither of us could last long. .

When he was at a loss, Aning suddenly stopped, pointed in the distance and shouted.

I followed her finger and saw a huge and blurry black shadow approaching us in the huge waves. It was moving very fast. I squinted my eyes to look carefully, but the light was too dark to distinguish it completely. Nothing comes out.

I couldn't care less at the moment, so I gritted my teeth and pulled Aning and swam toward the black shadow.

A black shadow instantly appeared in front of us. It was a fishing boat very similar to the one we were on. The hull was painted dark green. There was neither a signal light nor a bunker light on the bow, and the entire ship was pitch black.

I felt something was wrong when I saw it. Even if a normal ship had no power, kerosene lamps should be lit in the cabin. With such a black method, couldn't there be no one on the ship? Isn't that a ghost ship?

We slid our almost numb arms and used all our strength to get closer to it. The ship slid past us five or six yards away, without stopping, and suddenly drifted behind us.

I saw that it was terrible. This was our only hope of survival. If we missed this ship, it would be ruined.

The scene at that time did not allow me to think too much, so I gritted my teeth and followed. Aning in front had already grabbed the side of the ship and climbed onto the deck. She threw a survival circle with a rope at me. Yelling: "Catch this!"

The survival circle happened to fall next to me. I quickly hugged it and pulled myself to the side of the boat little by little. It wasn't until my hands grabbed the iron ring on the side of the boat that I breathed a sigh of relief.

Aning pulled me onto the side of the ship. I was completely out of strength and fell heavily in. The deck beneath me was almost unbearable, and there was an ear-piercing creak immediately.

The two of us survived the catastrophe, and our faces were ridiculously white. We don’t know whether it was because we were soaked in sea water or because we were frightened. We took a breath. Aning found a wind lantern hanging outside the cabin. He turned on the light and signaled to go to the boat. Take a look in the warehouse.

Although the door of the cabin was closed, a lot of sea water still splashed in through the gaps, and the places illuminated by the wind lamp were all wet.

The structure of this boat is very similar to ours. It is an old fishing boat produced in the 1970s and 1980s. It has an iron hull and a large warehouse space. The boat warehouse is the warehouse in the past. It was also dark inside. We shouted twice, There was no response except the squeak of the deck.

I felt something strange. This was undoubtedly an unmanned ship sailing on the sea. Where had the people on it gone? Did they all abandon the ship when the storm came?

There were a lot of things piled up in the warehouse. I saw a hanging stove and hurriedly turned it on to keep warm. If there was a cup of hot coffee at this time, I would die.

Aning pulled open the water cloth on the goods and found that they were all diving equipment, most of which were oxygen bottles. There were some numbers on the bottles.

We picked one up and took a closer look.

Aning suddenly screamed, startling me, and asked her what she was doing. She trembled and said, "This ship is K5-883!"
