under the vortex

Chapter 40 Self-help
Looking at the water slowly seeping into the floor of the boat, Jia Wenjun asked, "Miss An, how much food is there in the storage room on the boat? The most urgent thing now is to get the food out first, otherwise it will be useless if soaked in seawater. We don't know how many days we're going to be on this boat."

These words finally pulled everyone's rationality back a little bit.

As soon as she heard that she was going to move things to the storage room, Anna immediately said: "The storage room is at the stern. There are fruits and some canned compressed biscuits and canned meat in it. It should last for a few days. But the stern should have been flooded now. Look for good water, and move in if you have the strength.”

Baimashan immediately pulled Lu Maowang and Hu Sisi to move things together. They are the strong laborers on this boat, and if they want to survive, of course everyone has to contribute.

When people are facing life and death, they will automatically prioritize in their minds.Hu Sisi doesn't think about those stupid things now, survival is the most important thing, Gong Dalong was stabbed by him just now, everyone saw it, that's all.

He was a coward, but now that he thought about it, if Gong Dalong had been slaughtered just now, he would not be able to go back to the shore at all, and going back would be life for life, not worth it.

Thinking of this, he was glad that he reined in the precipice. As for the couple who love each other, they can do whatever they want, anyway, they will get divorced as soon as they land!

The sound of the sea water slapping gradually weakened. Jia Wenjun suddenly realized something when he heard the sound of the waves. Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, she came to the side of the boat and leaned over to look down the boat.

The reason why the beating of the waves becomes smaller is because the tide has reached the top of the tide, and the position of the hull in the sea represents the height limit of today's tide.

Then Jia Wenjun walked into the cabin to see how the room was flooded. Fortunately, the two rooms near the bow had not yet flooded.

Before setting off, Jia Wenjun checked the weather. The weather was good for the past two days on the weekend, but it would blow from the north and rain on Monday. They were originally scheduled to return to the port on the weekend afternoon, so they didn't take the change of weather on Monday to heart.

The weather on the sea is changing rapidly, and the wind and rain may be brought forward.

Now that the mobile phone has no signal, she can't find out how strong the upcoming wind and rain will be, but judging from the speed of the wind and the changing weather, it should be a tough battle.

"We must prepare something to keep warm, the storm is coming!" Jia Wenjun said.

Mr. Wang looked at the sky with a solemn expression: "She is right, the sky is about to change."

Jia Wenjun's words were undoubtedly another psychological blow to the entire crew, crushing everyone who was still struggling on board.

"Well, didn't you promise that the weather would be good for the next two days when you set off? The weather will change in a blink of an eye! If any of us have troubles because of the weather change, your property will be fully responsible." Teacher Lin When he heard that a storm was coming, he was so anxious that he couldn't choose what to say.

"If I could do it God lord, would we still be in the situation we are in now? We are all in the same boat now, stop complaining, everyone act, prepare food, keep warm, light things , can enter the storage room of the ship to find some useful things, first move the warm things and sleeping bags in the water room to the deck. Now there are two rooms that can be used by people, the elderly, children and the injured. The rest of the people will spend the night on the deck!" Jia Wenjun thought clearly and spoke quickly, she knew that time was urgent now, as long as these people don't blindly scramble, they can save enough time and supplies, and persist until the last day Second.

In addition to the few people who went to the storage room to get things, and those who went to each room to get quilts and sleeping bags, Jia Wenjun also arranged for the elderly and children to go to various places on the boat to find Zhao Di, and at the same time to take out all the fishing rods. The fish is cooked and eaten.

Seeing that Teacher Lin was still making calls with her mobile phone, Jia Wenjun reminded her: "Don't waste your mobile phone battery anymore. There are no rechargeable devices here. There is no light at night on the sea, so you need to leave some light."

If Zhao Di's disappearance is related to the people on board, then tonight, when there is no light, the situation will become more dangerous.

Master Wang took the lead and went out first, and the people in the room also went out one after another.

Seeing Hu Sisi go out, Gong Dalong, who had been lying on the other side of the bed pretending to be dead just now, moaned, "Help me~ I'm dying~"

Sun Jiaojiao and He Lili, who were at the end, both heard it, and then they remembered that there was an injured Gong Dalong in this room.

"I'll go find a first-aid kit and someone who can bandage." Lili said and took two quick steps before disappearing by the door.

Originally, because she had a little admiration for Gong Dalong at work and wanted him to take care of herself more, she and Gong Dalong were clingy on weekdays, but now that the ship is sinking, it is not certain whether she will be able to return alive. Well, it's important for her to find a way to save herself, who has time to take care of this old man.

Sun Jiaojiao originally wanted to slip away, but thinking that he was her child's biological father after all, she sighed secretly, and finally turned back.

Lili went to the deck and saw Mr. Lin sneaking up to the bow of the boat, behind his back, secretly took out his cell phone to make a call.

Lili felt strange and followed her secretly.

"He killed people. He not only killed people, but also wanted to kill the whole ship. I have to call the police. Call the police quickly, or I will die here." Teacher Lin trembled and kept muttering to himself.

Lili didn't know whether the "he" that Teacher Lin was talking about was a man or a woman, but after what she said just now, she naturally thought that what Teacher Lin was talking about was Jia Wenjun.

Teacher Lin took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, dialed the number and kept turning to the four directions: "Old man, you are showing signs, let me have a mobile phone signal quickly, or I will have to go find you."

Just as she was turning to the bow, a wave shook the boat. Teacher Lin's hand was trembling, but now she was unsteady on her feet. The phone slipped in her palm and fell on the deck, falling into the waves in a blink of an eye.

"Oh my god." Teacher Lin watched the phone disappear into the waves, she collapsed on the deck, holding on to the railing, beating her chest and feet.

The wind from the north gradually increased, and the waves began to become rough.The sound of sea water slapping on the hull and the reef became more and more frightening. Teacher Lin's hope disappeared into the sea along with the phone.

As the tide rose, the tilt of the hull eased again.

The islands and reefs that could be seen before had disappeared, and the stuck ship was not relieved by the rising sea water, but the speed of water entry accelerated.The water accumulated in the storage room under the stern has passed the calf, and only the upper part of the middle part of the ship can give these suffering people a little bit of breathing space.

　From tonight onwards, the days are short and the nights are long, thank you for still being there^_^Happy Winter Solstice^_^
