Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 149
Gu Wenmin reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and went down the cabin, saying, "I'll go down and look for it."

After a while, she ran up out of breath, shook her head and said, "No one."

Professor Lin changed his color and said, "Could it be that he ran out?" Everyone looked at each other, and finally opened the door of the command room by coincidence, and rushed to the deck in one breath.We didn’t realize the true meaning of the storm until we felt the wind force for ourselves. As soon as we went out, a violent gust of wind swept over us, like a huge mass of air pressure covering our face. We couldn’t even open our eyes, let alone breathing. difficulty.

I hurriedly turned my back, covered my eyes with my hands, only the gaps between my fingers were exposed, and took a few breaths, and then I saw other people imitate my movements, covering their foreheads with their hands and standing with their backs.Professor Lin said: "Find someone quickly." The boat is not big, and we, a group of people, searched the whole boat in less than a minute, and finally found it in a fishing gear room at the stern where sundries were placed. I missed her and was sitting on the ground playing with water.There is a small cistern here, in which there are several fish caught during the day, and this is what we have been eating lately.

Gu Wenmin breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It seems that her mental state has improved a lot, and I was shocked." I thought it was the little girl who came out to play secretly, and was blown away by the storm, so she was shocked for no reason. When they found someone, they took her back to the command room. As soon as they entered the command room, they saw carp grabbing her hair, grinning, and jumping anxiously. When they saw us coming in, they just said: "It's over, it's over, it's over... "

I thought something was wrong, and said: "What's over, please explain clearly." Carp was a little confused, and Ah Ying, who was dark-skinned, must have been stimulated, her face was dark and red, and said eagerly: "The wind is still increasing, we This encounter is likely to be a super strong storm, a small fishing boat like ours is completely unable to resist, and...and..."

Tofu jumped anxiously: "And what? Didn't you say that our group will be blown away by the storm?"

Aying shook her head violently, then nodded again, and said, "Besides, the power system of our boat doesn't work?" The two people were basically incoherent, and their words were very unreliable. , I slapped it twice on the podium, and shouted: "Don't mess up, what's going on!" My slap, coupled with an angry expression, probably has a deterrent effect, and Li Yu and Aying suddenly recovered. to explain.

It turns out that the wind and waves are too strong now, the power system of the ship is insufficient, and it is in a state of going three meters forward and then retreating two meters. Moreover, the wind direction of the storm is in a vortex shape, which makes our ship deviate from the channel.While talking, the automatic navigation system has been beeping continuously, asking us to calibrate the channel. Carp didn't care about talking to us, and hurried back to the command platform. Go back, what now?"

In other words, we have basically lost command of the ship now, and if this continues, as the storm intensifies, we still don't know what the deviation will be.

At this moment, accompanied by lightning and thunder, the torrential rain poured down, and the waves rolled more and more violently. The ship was no longer just shaking, but with the waves rising and falling, and in the stormy sea, it seemed that there was a danger of destruction at any time .

Tofu scolded the weather forecast again, saying, "This is killing people."

Carp shook his head and said, "The accuracy of weather forecast at sea is relatively high. I don't know why this kind of thing happened. Could it be related to the ghost octopus?"

Tofu said: "Nonsense. Don't say that this kind of fish soul complaint is unreliable, even if it is true, haven't we already picked out the beads?"

Carp continued to say: "I don't know, if you ask me who should I ask?"

I had already calmed down now, and I thought to myself, could it be the curse from the face of the ghost again?Wherever I go, where will I be unlucky?While thinking in his heart, he said, "Don't make random guesses. Things have already happened. It's useless to talk about them. Carp, Ah Ying, you are professionals. Think about it."

At this moment, the wind and waves were raging, and we stood in the command room. As the ship swayed, people also fell to and fro, and we had to fall if we didn't pay attention.Everyone found a fixed object to hold on to, and barely stabilized their figure, discussing and thinking about countermeasures.

The carp stared at the sea, looked at another wave that was approaching in the distance and was about to send us to a high place, his face turned pale, and said: "Unless the wind decreases, we will not be able to regain the command of the ship." .”

I said: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to think about this problem. Apart from the deviation of the course, what dangers do we still have now?"

Carp looked at the screen on the podium, it showed that we had deviated from the original northward channel and were heading westward, and there were many black spots in that area.I asked, "What do these black dots mean?"

Carp looked as if he had died, and said, "The reef area is where the boats have to detour. But we are heading towards that location now!"

I rely on!

Now I am not calm anymore, and said: "Even if it is three meters and two meters back, I will admit it, and drive the boat forward to delay time... No, don't drive forward, drive east." Immediately did so, The next wave came as promised, and our boat was dragged high into the sky by the waves, and then pushed to the distance as the sea water lowered. It is a retreat of more than ten meters.

At this time, the storm signal also began to hang on the screen. It seemed that the weather forecast was delayed, and I cursed in my heart.But when I saw the wind force display, I couldn't help gasping for breath. I just felt numbness on the soles of my feet. It turns out that the highest wind force displayed on the screen has reached level 15, which means that it is not the highest level yet. What happens next? , will only be more terrifying.

If this is on land, no matter what happens, I will try my best to find a way, but on this sea, the only thing we can rely on is the boat. Apart from the boat, there is no place to hide. What should we do now?

If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will either be overturned by the waves, or the ship will sink because it hits a rock.

The sea water outside kept coming in along the ship, and there was no dry place on the deck under the washing of sea water and heavy rain.I lowered my head to think about the countermeasures. Everyone had different expressions. No matter how powerful they were on land, they were powerless at sea. Compared with soldiers and professors, Carp and Ah Ying became the backbone.

At this moment, I saw Duan Fei's expression was a little strange, muttering in his mouth, as if he remembered something, he kept talking to himself.My heart moved, I walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Duan Fei looked up and saw it was me, her eyes froze for a moment, then she pouted and whispered, "Don't come near me."

I was a little puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"

Duan Feinu pursed his lips and pointed to Gu Wenmin's side. I turned my head and found that Gu Wenmin didn't pay attention, his brows were slightly frowned, and his rosy lips were tightly pursed, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

I also feel puzzled in my heart, in fact, I don’t like to talk too much in front of outsiders, and I don’t have much communication with Duan Fei, but for some reason, she seems to have a good impression of me. Is it because I am very lucky, or I am born to attract women like?Seeing that I didn't speak, Duan Fei suddenly smiled, and jokingly said, "She's so close to me, isn't she afraid that she'll get angry?
I couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "We have nothing to do with each other, right? Well, I didn't ask what I said just now." I have a bad temper in other aspects, but I am absolutely loyal to the people I value. I can see that this girl seems to be right. I was interested, but I didn't want to be ambiguous with her, so I was about to leave, but at this moment, Duan Fei suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "I have a discovery, which is related to this storm, don't you want to Do you listen?"

I turned my head to look at her face, there was a hint of slyness on her beautiful face, and she looked at me, obviously provocative.

I said: "Of course I want to know. If you want to say it, say it now. Of course, if you don't tell me, don't expect me to beg you. Anyway, you are also on this boat." When Duan Fei heard this, her face turned red with anger, She stomped her feet fiercely and said, "You don't know how to flatter!" Her voice attracted the attention of the others, and we stood together, as if I had bullied her. , not to mention Gu Wenmin, for a moment I just felt that I would not be able to wash myself off even if I jumped into the Yellow River.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Tofu suddenly popped out, surprised and said: "Sister Duan, you are very good at finding problems, yes, the biggest shortcoming of this kid is that he doesn't know how to compliment. Once when we went to the bar, a beautiful girl came over , I want to play games with him in the room, guess what he said? He said, Miss, please respect yourself. Haha... I laughed so hard, the girl cried angrily at that time, scolding him for being ungrateful, um, just About the same as you are now."

I almost didn't vomit blood after listening to it, and thought to myself, is this kid helping me out, or is he fighting against me?Why did some words change their taste as soon as they came out of his mouth?Duan Fei immediately recognized the tone of Tofu's words, and her face turned blue and white, and the rest of the people were also smart people who understood the situation, but it was difficult to speak out about this kind of thing, and they could only pretend that they didn't understand.

After a while, Duan Fei's expression calmed down, and I felt a little sorry, knowing that this little girl didn't have any malicious intentions, she just liked me a little bit, but I already have someone I like, and it's impossible for me to have any further development with her. It's better to speak clearly so as not to delay people's feelings.

At this time, Tofu took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "I heard everything you two said just now. What is the clue of the storm? Hurry up and say it, and if you delay it, it will be too late when we all see the King of Hades." .”

Upon hearing this, Professor Lin immediately said: "Feifei, don't lose your temper, what's going on?" As soon as the teacher spoke, Duan Fei could only confess, she suddenly pointed at the silent little girl, Said: "She is playing tricks."
