The strongest peasant city

Chapter 587 Move On
On Hook's ship, the navigator had just completed position determination, and his face immediately turned snow-white, and he also fell into a sluggish state.

Hu Ke shouted anxiously and asked: "Why, haven't you connected yet?" The staff in charge of contact, full of burly heads in a hurry, said repeatedly: "It will be ready soon, it will be ready soon!"

Hook snorted heavily, glanced inadvertently, and saw the navigator who was staring at the navigation map in a daze, patted him heavily on the shoulder and asked, "What time is it, you still have the mind to be in a daze, I want to know Our position now!"

The navigator was awakened from his sluggishness by Hook, and handed over the navigation map in his hand with difficulty.

Hook snatched it away, glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed, he brought the navigation map closer to his eyes and looked at it again, until he confirmed that he was right, Hook's face was already covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly ordered Said: "Stop the boat! Stop the boat!"

The boat was going well, but suddenly stopped, Li Lang, Wu You, Shi Qiu and his wife, and Li Xiaogang came to the command room in confusion, asking about the situation.

With a bitter face, Hu Ke said in a nasty voice: "If we go any further, we will reach the Palace of the King of Hades..."

"Captain, what do you mean?" Li Xiaogang asked puzzled.

As soon as Hu Ke heard Li Xiaogang's voice, his face immediately became bloodshot, turned red, and was full of anger. He shouted repeatedly: "What do you mean? I still have to ask you! Do you have a grudge against us, deliberately put us Bring it into this land of death!"

Seeing Hook who kept roaring, Li Xiaogang pouted his lips, wondering if this Hook could not speak without roaring, otherwise why was he always so excited? "Dead place? What dead place?"

Wu Yousheng was afraid that Li Xiaogang's internal organs would be injured by Hu Ke's roaring skill, so he hurriedly asked.

Hook sighed and said, "The land of death is a place where there is death but there is no life. In the entire Persian Gulf, it is divided into five sea areas, from No. [-] to No. [-]. The water is deep and the sea is wide enough for ships to sail, but only in No. [-] sea area." There are hidden reefs densely in the middle, and it will sink if you touch it. It is a blessing that one out of every ten ships can pass through here safely! What do you say this is not a dead place?"

After hearing Hu Ke's words, everyone fell into silence. Li Xiaogang manipulated his consciousness unbelievingly, and came to a seabed survey. cold sweat.

In front of them are densely covered with all kinds of ferocious and steep reefs. They spread their teeth and claws in the entire sea area without any rules. The protruding hard edges and corners can easily send any giant steel ship into the bottom of the sea. Only then did I understand why Hook was so angry with him when he learned where they were.

If it was Li Xiaogang, I'm afraid he would have already thrown the person who brought them here into the sea.

"Could it be...is there no other way? It's not a way to stay here!" Wu You frowned and asked quietly.

"But other than that, what else can we do? This hidden reef is invisible and intangible. If one is not careful, it will hit the rock and sink. I am the captain, and I can't take such a risk! Report the situation to the outside and ask them to send guiding ships to guide us out of this dead land. However, there is still great danger. In history, the Iraqi government has organized such rescues three times, but only succeeded once."

"Only a one-third chance? This... Isn't this too risky?" Li Lang said.

"In this way, there is still a one-third hope of surviving. If we set sail rashly, we will lose even one-thirtieth hope of surviving." Hook said firmly.

"Captain, we have contacted the outside world!"

The correspondent stood up excitedly and reported loudly.

Hook was overjoyed when he heard this, clapped his hands and laughed and said, "It's finally done, but I'm really anxious to death!"

After speaking, he snatched the microphone from the communicator and said loudly: "Land command post, I am transport ship No. 185, please answer if you hear it!"

After a burst of harsh noises, a clear voice sounded through the loudspeaker, "Transport ship No. 185, this is the land command post, please inform your location."

"Land command post, our current location is in Sea Area No. [-], at a depth of ten nautical miles!"

Hook hastily stated his position.

Hearing Hook's answer, the land command post was silent for a while, and it took a long time to reply: "No. 185, are you joking?"

Hook shouted angrily: "Have my brain been squeezed by the door or have I entered the water? I have something wrong. I am joking with you!? We urgently need a guide ship to take us out now! You move quickly!"

There was another short silence at the land command post, and then the voice rang out again, giving Hook and the others another blow.

I only heard the other party say with regret: "Sorry No. 185, we can't meet your request! A tropical storm of category [-] has formed in the sea area of ​​No. [-] and is approaching you. In this case, we cannot send If the guide ship enters, it is undoubtedly suicide!"

"Tropical storm? Category thirteen? Command post, are you kidding me?" Hook asked a little dull.

A long sigh came from the command post, and he said leisurely: "No. 185, I also hope this is a joke, but what I said is true."

"Then...then what should we do? Waiting to die, waiting to be swallowed by the monstrous waves?" Hook opened his teeth and claws excitedly.

The command post said: "Now you drop all the anchors, all the engines are turned off, the tropical storm comes and goes quickly, I hope you can survive this time."

Hook shouted angrily: "What a joke! That's a category thirteen storm, our ship will be blown into the sky like paper, and then be torn into pieces by the storm! You let us wait for the tropical storm to come out of our over the head?"

The command post fell into silence. When Hook was about to go mad, the head of the command post said: "Now there is only one way. If your ship can hold on, try to hold on. If you can't hold on, you will sink. All of you abandon ship immediately and jump into the sea to survive.

We ordered the helicopter search and rescue team, and the patrol boat search and rescue team has been on standby. Once the storm passes, we will rush to your sea area to rescue you! "

The method that the command post came up with was just not a solution.

Hook secretly sighed that fate was wasted, and put down the phone in his hand helplessly.

Seeing Hu Ke's unusually ugly face, everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts, and couldn't help asking: "Captain, what's the matter?"

Hooker said bitterly: "A tropical storm above magnitude [-] is forming in front of us. Now this storm is hitting us at full speed." Hooker's words immediately brought everyone's hearts to the bottom.

Wu You said nastily: "There is a raging tropical storm in the back, and dense reefs in front. How can we escape this disaster?"

Hook made a cross on his chest, and murmured: "Now we can only listen to God's will. I hope that the old man will show mercy and help us escape this difficulty!"

Li Xiaogang frowned and said: "It is the most stupid way to entrust one's own destiny to the illusory gods!"

Hook yelled angrily: "Stupid? I think you are stupid. If it weren't for you, how could we have fallen into such a dangerous situation? You still have the nerve to speak nonsense and criticize here. It's outrageous!"

Li Xiaogang smiled wryly and said: "Although I was wrong, I can't deprive me of my right to speak because of this! In my opinion, we still move forward. Although there are many hidden reefs here, it may not be possible to open up a passable road! What do you say?"

There is still a one-tenth chance to win the battle ahead, but staying here does not move, and can only watch helplessly as it is swallowed by the huge waves rolled up by the storm.

Li Xiaogang's words moved everyone's heart, and they exchanged glances with each other.

"General Shi Qiu, you have the highest official rank here, I think it's up to you to make up your mind!"

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Li Lang simply turned his attention to Shi Qiu.

Shi Qiu frowned slightly, and said: "This matter is related to the life and death of everyone here, how can I be the one to decide? However, my personal opinion is that Li Liang's words are correct. Compared with sitting still and waiting for death, fighting to the death A handful is still advisable!"

Shi Qiu's words strengthened everyone's minds, and Hu Ke gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Fight! I've bought lottery tickets all my life, but in the end I haven't even won a bottle of soy sauce. I don't believe that God is so unfair to me." , let me win once!"

After finishing speaking, Hook turned to the sonar operator and navigator and shouted: "You must pay close attention to the situation on the submarine reef. Whether we can get out of the predicament depends entirely on you!"

The sonarists and navigators looked at each other for a while, the expressions on their faces were more serious than ever, even a little scared.

To deal with the unpredictable reefs on the bottom of the sea in such a state is simply asking for a dead end!Hook did not hide his dissatisfaction at all, and loudly reprimanded: "Don't you always claim to be the best, let us all see it now!"

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and finally lowered their heads. Seeing this situation, Hook let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"Why don't you let me try!"

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Li Xiaogang said suddenly.

Hook looked up at him, and scolded: "Okay, don't make trouble here, don't you think we are not annoying enough?"
