Chapter 1195 But Xiaoli Has Been Photographed
The howling wind blew the sails into a mess.
Rong Leng stood on the deck, frowning and looking at the spiral black wind that was getting closer and closer in the distance. The sky and the earth were pitch black.
Liu Wei held Chou Chou and stood in the cabin. She was shaken around and it took 100% of her internal strength to barely keep her daughter stable in her arms.
Chou Chou cried loudly, and Pearl and Gu Gu kept shouting.
An hour had passed since they predicted the tornado was coming, but this hour of hard sailing did not allow the ship to escape from the devil's zone.
They were racing with this first tornado at sea. Although the tornado was not close yet, it was pursuing it at full speed.
Liu Wei thought, we can't go on like this.
But in the face of natural disasters, human beings are so insignificant.
Liu Wei walked to the deck with difficulty and saw Rong Len holding on to the mast, facing the black whirlwind in the distance. She swallowed her saliva and shouted loudly in the wind and rain: "Change the course, the tornado is heading towards us. Come on, we must change course as soon as possible to avoid it!"
Little did Rong Leng know that there was an experienced helmsman standing beside him. Everyone was busy adjusting the sails, but in the strong wind and heavy rain, it was very difficult to make everything go smoothly. If the center of gravity was unstable, he would fall into the turbulent sea. inside.
Rong Leng turned around, walked to the deck in a few steps, hugged Liu Wei and said, "Don't come over, take the children to the back and put on life jackets."
Where Liu Wei is around, maritime safety will naturally be particularly important.
Life jackets also existed in ancient times, but they were very simple and had extremely low buoyancy. Qingzhou brought everything he needed to bring when he got on the ship again. Liu Wei continued to process it during the past few months of sailing, and taught the boatmen how to make it. Now, at least everyone can make one.
Liu Wei nervously held Rong Leng's hand, saying nothing but breathing heavily.
Rong Leng knew that she was worried about him, so he kissed her lips hard and said, "Don't worry."
Liu Wei was pushed into the cabin.
The old man, who was usually a naughty boy, supported her. He frowned and looked at the wind and rain outside calmly and powerfully, and said in a deep voice: "Be prepared for the worst."
Liu Wei suddenly thought that her master might have encountered such a storm before. She grabbed his hand and asked, "Can we survive?"
There was a trace of sadness in the old man's tone: "Listen to Aleng and protect yourself."
Everyone on the boat was told to put on life jackets immediately, and by the time everyone put them on, the black cyclone was already very close to them.
Liu Wei wrapped Chou Chou repeatedly, her eyes were wet, she didn't know whether it was due to the wind and rain or other reasons.
Mingxiang Xixiang, the old girl and the young girl were all nearby. The four girls were all dressed and stood tightly together.
Xiao Li also put on a heavy life jacket. He grabbed the hem of his mother's clothes, but his pink face was now frighteningly white.
Liu Wei knelt down and said, "No matter what, you must protect yourself and don't leave your mother's side, you know?"
Xiao Li nodded heavily and clutched the corner of her mother's clothes tighter.
The white wolf swayed and remained unsteady. Although it had four legs, its center of gravity was not as stable as that of a human being. It was shaken to pieces and staggered.
Liu Wei found another life jacket and wrapped it for Bai Lang. Because it was not custom-made, ropes were needed to fix it in many places. Bai Lang honestly did not move around. After putting it on, Liu Wei touched Bai Lang's head and said: "You also have to live."
Bai Lang didn't know whether he understood or not, so he shouted at her: "Ouch!"
Everyone is fully armed, and those who can help go to the deck to help fix the sails. Others have prepared small boats. If the big ship capsizes, they have enough lifeboats to transfer.
But if a storm really comes, the big ship will be unstable, let alone the small boat that is a drop in the ocean.
The helmsman and boatman were the calmest. Some of them had encountered such a natural disaster, and some had heard from their ancestors that they knew how to deal with it and how to protect themselves. At least, they had the theoretical knowledge to get by, much better than the other landlubbers on the two ships.
These masters of land warfare, in such a huge shipwreck, were like birds with their wings cut off, unable to fly.
"Boom!"
A big wave hit us, and a vertical wall of water hit us. After a few breaths, the deck was almost half flooded, and more water flowed into the cabin.
Rong Leng and others stood in the water, struggling to pull the reins. Everyone used their maximum strength, and those with martial arts all used their internal strength. However, under the resistance of the hurricane, their little strength was of no avail.
The boat rocked more and more until the next big wave hit and the boat tilted sharply.
Screams filled the ship, and everyone tried their best to maintain balance, but outside the deck, several soldiers and boatmen standing on the edge still fell into the sea.
Someone on the boat immediately lowered the rope, but the waves were too strong and the wind was too strong, and those people were almost immediately swept away dozens of meters away by the sea water.
The shouts and cries for help continued until those people could no longer be seen. Everyone felt as if a stone had been pressed on their hearts and they were so heavy that they couldn't breathe.
They know that if this continues, those who fall into the water will soon become their fate. Maybe in the next breath, maybe in the next quarter of an hour, they will also fall into the water, be beaten to the bottom of the sea by the waves, and never float again. Come up.
"Come on, everyone, come on." If the direction of the sail can be changed as soon as possible, they may still have a chance to escape death.
Experienced helmsmen know how to inspire people. They keep talking and encouraging, trying to give the remaining people a chance to survive.
Liu Wei hugged Chou Chou tightly, with the gray-haired old man guarding her. Xiao Li held on to her mother's clothes and refused to let go. Even Bai Lang tried his best to guard her.
Yue Shansheng and Xiao Xizi were both helping on the deck. Basically, all the men on the ship who could contribute went to help, but they could do too little. Under the attack of wind and rain, human beings were as small as a speck of dust.
"Crash." Waves kept hitting the boat.
The balance of the ship became more and more unstable. Finally, after holding on for another half an hour, the last straw that broke the camel's back knocked the entire ship over.
The moment the boat capsized, there were constant howls. This is not swimming, this is not a gentle lake. Even people who can swim may not survive in such bumpy waves, not to mention there are many people who cannot swim. Everyone The only thing I rely on is the life jacket, but these life jackets are not omnipotent after all. The power of the waves overwhelms the power of the life jacket.
People kept being knocked into the water by the waves and disappeared without a trace.
Liu Wei raised her head with great effort, held Chou Chou in both hands, and lifted the child above the sea water. Water was poured into her mouth continuously, and her eyes went from being able to see the people around her to seeing nothing at all.
Just when she was gradually weakening and almost becoming one of those people who sank to the bottom of the sea and could not come up, someone held her waist and picked her up.
She reluctantly opened her eyes and saw Rong Leng's nervous and panic face. She grabbed the man's shoulders and gasped: "Xiao Li..."
Chou Chou was in her arms, crying hoarsely, but still alive, but Xiao Li had been taken out of the picture, and she couldn't see him or her son...
