I’m a Detective In the Marvel World

Chapter 609 The propeller is stuck

It has been two days since Xie Lun and his party entered the rainforest by boat. The sun has been shining brightly for these two days, and nothing unusual happened during the period. It's just that whether it's Xie Lun or a keen veteran like Dach, they can sense that something is staring at him in the dark.

"It should rain tonight, and it's not too small."

In the captain's room, Caron sighed while manipulating the rudder.

Xie Lun on the side asked curiously, "How do you know?"

"Although the weather in the rainforest is unpredictable, there are rules to speak of if you observe carefully." Caron pointed out the window, "Look at the fire clouds in the sunset. Generally, when such clouds appear, there is a high chance of heavy rain at night."

Hearing this, Da Qi had a bitter expression on his face. Although the deck is covered with canvas, if it rains too hard, the rain will still hit the deck, and people sleeping on the deck will feel uncomfortable.

Caron seemed to see Daqi's mind, and said with a smile: "I said before, although the space under the cabin is a bit narrow, it's still no problem to sleep."

Dach shook his head. He was attacked on the deck, but he could counterattack quickly, and if he couldn't, he could dive to escape. And retracting into the cabin, it might really become a sinking bastard with an iron shell.

Norman coughed dryly and said in a deep voice, "How long will it take?"

When the big boss spoke behind him, Kalong didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and quickly replied: "According to the current speed, it should be almost the same tomorrow morning."

Norman nodded, then looked at Sheron again: "What's for dinner tonight?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Norman, but also Caron and Daqi looked at Sheron.

Although the tropical food seems to be rich, but if it is subdivided, there are only a few kinds, nothing more than fruit salad and barbecue. And now on the boat again, although the food is well prepared, it is not as good as on land.

But no one thought that Xie Lun was also good at cooking. With the simple kitchen on board alone, he could cook delicious dishes with all kinds of colors, flavors and tastes. So every meal is the best time everyone spent on the boat.

Xie Lun shrugged: "Billy and the others caught a few big catfish during the day, do you want to braise it or steam it?"

Norman pretended to think deeply: "Come on."

Sharon rolled his eyes.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a rich man, and he is so shameless when he speaks.

Caron's weather forecast was right,

While everyone was still eating fish hot pot on the back deck, a light rain began to fall in the night sky. And the rain is getting heavier and heavier, until late at night, it is already pouring rain.

Caron turned on all the searchlights on the ship, and he could only see a distance of 20 to 30 meters ahead under the rain curtain. He slowed down the speed of the ship, and while driving carefully, he said to Norman and Shellen beside him: "Rain It's too big, and the river rises and drowns the trees on both sides of the river. If we deviate from the course and hit the branches under the water, we might be stranded."

Norman said in a deep voice: "Then you shouldn't let this happen?"

Caron shrugged and said, "Of course, boss, you will know that the money for hiring me will not be wasted."

"Better so."

Norman said quietly.

There was nothing to say all night. Although it was stormy outside, Xie Lun still slept soundly. But when I wake up in the morning and see the dark circles under the eyes of other people, I guess their sleep quality is not as good as my own.

Kalong, who stayed up all night, was even more haggard, his eyes were red, and he kept puffing away with a cigarette in his mouth. But the mental head looks good, and it seems that he has survived.

At this time, the sky is clear and the sea is calm, but the river has risen significantly. The forests on both sides of the river yesterday, now only the treetops are exposed above the water. One can imagine how heavy it rained last night.

The surface of the water was covered with broken branches and logs. Caron controlled the rudder and moved forward cautiously. The bow of the boat was placed on the trees from time to time, making a "dong dong" sound, which made everyone feel nervous.

"Is it all right?"

Norman couldn't help asking.

"There's no way, it's more dangerous to avoid the sides." Caron frowned, "I specially reinforced the hull, as long as the branches don't get stuck on the propeller, there won't be much problem..."

Before the words fell, there was a loud "boom", and the whole ship rushed forward violently, and then lost power.

"..."

The people in the captain's room looked at each other.

Sure enough, you can't stand indiscriminately.

"Smoke coming out of the back!"

Ramirez ran over in a hurry and shouted.

"Damn it, the propeller must be stuck."

Kalong quickly shut down the engine. If the engine burns out due to a jam, then the ship is really hopeless.

Everyone ran to the stern, and sure enough, white mist filled with the smell of metal and fuel exhaust came out from under the stern.

"Don't panic, this kind of thing happens quite often. Believe me, I am very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing." Caron shouted quickly, "Just take out the sundries stuck on the propeller, and we can restart gone."

"It's true to say so, but I'm not urging you, but there seems to be something wrong ahead, right?"

Sheron stood on the side of the boat, pointing forward.

Everyone heard the words and looked forward, and then all opened their eyes wide.

I saw that at the end of the river in the distance, it turned out to be a waterfall.

"Damn it, there's a fork in the road ahead, if we don't make a turn, we'll all fall down."

Caron picked up an iron hook next to him, jumped into the water without saying a word, ignored the trees and debris still floating in the river, and dived into the water to clean the propeller.

I have to admit that Caron is really dedicated.

But time passed by every minute and every second, and as the waterfall got closer and closer, the water flow gradually accelerated. When Norman and others were anxious, Caron came out of the water, shook his hair vigorously, and gritted his teeth: "It's too tight, and it won't come off in a short time."

"Then what should we do?" Dach looked around and said in a deep voice, "How about jumping into the river to escape?"

"I advise you not to, God knows what's in the Amazon River. Crocodiles, anacondas, piranhas... are all possible. There may be a chance of survival if you stay on the boat, but if you are targeted by those things, you will definitely not survive."

Caron took a deep breath: "I'll try again, if it doesn't work, we can only gamble."

"After you fix the propeller, do you still have time to sail?"

Xie Lun reached out and lifted Caron out of the water and threw it on the deck. The tremendous power he displayed made Dach and the others beside him widen their eyes in horror.

"You go and get ready to sail, I'll go down."

Without waiting for other people to object, Xie Lun dived into the water.

Kalong didn't even react, so he came to the boat from the water. When he came to his senses, Xie Lun had already entered the water.

"He... is really messing around."

Caron stomped his feet, but had no choice but to rush back to the captain's cabin and try his best to control the rudder, hoping that Sharon could fix the propeller before he missed the fork in the road.

To be honest, repairing the ship was a piece of cake for Xie Lun. There is no need to go into the water at all, just hook your fingers on the boat and it will be repaired. But... what's the point?

It's like when Xie Lun just dived into the water, he saw a big mouth full of fangs, biting towards him fiercely.
