Endless route

Chapter 52 13. Lock position

After a short rest, everyone set off again. Regardless of the cost of renting a boat for Liu Ming, rescuing people pays attention to golden time. Time is the life of the victim.

The speedboat sets sail again.

After crossing the border of the Mist Sea, they followed the position on the picture and headed towards the depths of the mist.

The route they took this time was searched by a warship and a group of rescue boats. There were no obstacles along the way until they were out of the interference zone.

They received another information package from the warship. The chart has been updated, and there is an additional confirmed location of the shipwrecked ship, deep in the Qianzhou Strait.

The warship scanned the radio signal and determined the location directly without the rescue ship.

In addition, this time the information package contains some additional text information, saying that several rescue ships were in distress, and it is recommended that all rescue teams move closer to the warships.

Zheng Yun glanced at the chart and saw that the shipwrecked ship was not far from the circle where Haiwei suppressed the demon.

We are really unlucky. It's still not our turn. The rescue team whose target is on this boat is lucky. Huzi couldn't help but sigh.

Are you sure you're lucky? Look where this place is. The thin boy handed him the tablet.

The circle drawn by Zheng Yun was marked, Huzi could understand it at a glance, and immediately stopped talking. They were all rescuers, and no one wanted anything to happen to anyone.

After two hours of sailing.

They arrived near the location where the picture was taken and kept going back and forth, looking for the fishing boat.

Uncontrolled boats will drift with the current, and the visibility is too poor, making it very difficult to find.

After turning on the searchlight and searching for it, they couldn't find it, and the underwater camera couldn't find anything. They tried another method. They filled up an inflatable boat, put some supplies on it, and put a long rope to hold it.

In this way, they made a blocking rope. The speedboat straightened the rope and circled the inflatable boat, sweeping a circle area at a time.

After trying it a few times in different locations.

The yacht felt an obvious tug, and they immediately turned around and returned to the center of the circle. They found the target fishing boat and saw the stone statue on the boat.

Everyone approached, and Zheng Yunhuzi and others boarded the ship. They only felt relieved after confirming that there was no one on board.

Zheng Yun squatted next to the stone statue and observed it carefully. The material was yellow and white. He couldn't identify what kind of stone it was. It looked like something calcined with some substance. The lines carved in the early years were eroded out of shape.

Is this thing really useful?

Huzi asked curiously. He was not questioning Zheng Yun's statement, but he just felt that it was outrageous that this ugly thing could actually drive away the sea monster.

What is the principle?

This is also a bit too mysterious.

The question is how to do it, move it to our boat? It doesn't seem like it can be put down, and it's a bit hard to drag it into the water. The thin young man asked.

Tie it to the inflatable boat and pull it along. It should be able to offset more than half of the weight, but half of it will be soaked in the water. Lao Zhang shouted across the sea.

Okay, let's do this.

Zheng Yun led the others to pull out part of the stone statue, tied it to an inflatable boat, and then used the speedboat to pull the entire stone statue out of the fishing boat.

Snapped.

The stone statue fell into the water, half sinking and half floating.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the speedboat and continued to set off to investigate the red dots issued by the warship.

About two more hours passed.

After eliminating two red dots, there was an additional black dot on the chart, which was the confirmed location of the wrecked ship, and it was exactly where Professor Zhang was.

They finally got lucky.

There is a fixed rescue target.

But this black spot is right next to the previous black spot. Both ships have identified ship identification numbers. They are both luxury cruise ships. The total number of passengers is more than 1,500, and they are actually together.

This black spot was also swept out by a warship. The situation there is still unknown because the two rescue ships that went to the previous black spot did not report back.

It's our turn now. Huzi sighed.

Looking at the situation, Professor Zhang's cruise ship should have gone to rescue another cruise ship, and then he himself was in trouble. The thin young man guessed.

Are you going now? Lao Zhang turned around and asked.

The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became solemn. In the dim light environment, everyone else looked at Hu Ruihua and Zheng Yun, but they could only see the reflective cursors of the life jackets.

They had been searching for so long in this dark sea and bad weather at night, and the specific coordinates they had been longing for finally appeared, but at this time Zheng Yun was a little hesitant.

That coordinate is very far away. The speedboat has been sailing for more than three hours. After going to that coordinate, there is just enough oil left for the return trip. If something happens on the way, it may not be possible to return.

The location of that sea area is dangerous, right near the place where Triton suppresses monsters, and the situation is very weird. There are probably sea monsters making trouble around, and the probability of something happening is not low.

But if we don’t go now and go back to replenish the supplies, it will take several hours to go back and forth, which will delay the rescue time.

There should be a lot of oil on the warship, but they have no way and no need to count on the things on the warship.

The warship is also going to this place, and its main target is also the cruise ship. The thin young man added.

Brother Zheng, you decide. Hu Ruihua said.

This mission is to save people first and pay later. If the people are saved by others, they will run away in vain.

But this mission itself was for Zheng Yun. They usually didn't take on this kind of work. This time, a professor from Zheng Yun's school was killed. Liu Ming called him directly. They came here because of Zheng Yun's favor.

I helped Zheng Yun this time. If anything happens next time, Zheng Yun will be able to help to some extent.

As long as the person is rescued, it doesn't matter whether they ran away in vain or not, as long as the favor is there.

Then let's go back and resupply before coming back. Zheng Yun made the final decision.

Now that the warship has passed, there is no need for them to take risks. The Kraken is lethal to their boat and should be helpless against the warship. There is no need to be thankless.

Okay. Hu Ruihua nodded.

The speedboat quickly turned around and returned. This time, the atmosphere among everyone was obviously much more relaxed. Although the sea was still dark, they talked a little more than before.

They returned to W-04, carried out the last supply, and then sailed south on W-04, entering the Sea of ​​Fog closer to the coordinates.

It took three hours of hard work before the speedboat entered W-05 again and got out of the signal interference area.

The warship is fast. It's over. I'll download the information package first. The thin young man held the tablet. The warship was not far from the black spot.

It should be okay for us. The warships are enough to rescue everyone. Huzi said with a smile.

No! Something happened!

The thin young man suddenly exclaimed and placed the tablet flat in front of everyone. This information package was updated with many photos and warnings from warships.

The photos were taken with a drone.

The first set of photos is of two luxury cruise ships stranded on two islands in shallow waters. The pictures are very bloody. There are bloodstains everywhere on the ship, and no living person can be seen.

The second set of photos is on the island. There are a lot of bonfires deep in the island, and the number of survivors is very large. In the photos, you can see the survivors looking up at the drone and cheering.

The information sent by the warship stated that the position of the cruise ship in trouble had been corrected. The warship's draft was too deep and could not get close to the ocean where it was in trouble. It was blocked by the shallow sea 30 nautical miles away.

The sea area where the warship is located has been attacked by marine life, and the number is extremely large. The warship will provide shelter to the rescue ships and allow them to quickly return to the vicinity of the warship.

Warships have made contact with the survivors, who are scattered on multiple islands. They all carry weapons and food and can persist for a week.

However, the cause of the accident is unknown.

And rescue is currently unavailable.

Warships can only wait in the rear. Rescue ships cannot reach the island because they will be attacked by marine life on the way. Helicopters cannot reach the island due to wind and waves.

As expected.

Warships can only provide shelter in this situation, and the last step is to have people come, but the rescue ship cannot get through, and even if it does, it can't take away a few people.
