The passenger ship slowly sailed into the fog. In the silent snow-capped mountains, you could only hear the creaking sound of the steam turbine propellers breaking through the water when the steam turbine was moving at low speed. After the navigation lights were shot into the depths of the fog, it seemed to lift the veil of the nether hell and the misty river surface. Above, there appeared a few faint light groups, from far to near, there were actually a few floating corpses that undulated with the river...
The old bandit sighed down and lifted the huge lamp tube upwards. Wherever the cold white light passed, there were dense floating corpses in the water.
Some of these floating corpses have shown serious signs of decay, but some have drowned as if they were just yesterday drowned in this remote and uninhabited snow-capped glacial river. Their faces are covered with a layer of blue light of death. They all face upwards and sink their backs. In the water, only a shallow layer of chest and face floated on the surface of the water.
This posture is unspeakably awkward, like a dead fish with only its belly turned over, almost filling up the entire river channel. What is even more weird is that these corpses seem to be unaffected by the current, seemingly As the ocean currents fluctuate up and down, but it seems to be fixed in place by some invisible force, and there is no tendency to move.
The navigation lights shone further and further, and more and more floating corpses appeared in the river. The river tens of meters ahead seemed to be full of such things, and I don’t know where it came from. At first glance, the white fog is already there. The cold light on these dead bodies rendered them into a ghostly mysterious realm...
"Anchor, brother Rapp, drop anchor!"
The old bandits walked together with a loud roar, and pulled everyone back from the shock in front of them: "The waters ahead are weird, stop the boat, damn it, the water seems to be stagnant..."
Rapp reacted and immediately pushed me indifferently, and yelled incoherently: "Little boss, ship's side, go to the ship's side, I'll go up, hurry, hurry!"
I was also shocked by the situation before me.
Where did these floating corpses come from? What kind of force is affected by this ups and downs, but not forward and backward posture? In Gang Rinpoche in the upper reaches of the snow-capped mountains, has there been a massacre recently? These dead bodies are the victims of the butcher knife
Also, do these dead bodies have anything to do with the soulless corpses we encountered in the midstream
This damn... people are unlucky, no matter how they drink cold water, they are stuffed between their teeth. How can there be so many dead people in the dangerous snow-capped mountains where there is no one forever...
The pot exploded in my head, but everyone panicked at the moment. Meng Gantang stayed in place at a loss, shaking the snowman beside him.
Wen Fang's face was like a thick layer of white powder, she walked over and grabbed my hand without knowing what to say.
Rapp ran to the metal circular staircase next to the cabin and wanted to rush to the cabin, but he stepped on it seven or eight times, and his nose was bruised and swollen. Two lines of scarlet nosebleeds were coagulated into two red blood by the ubiquitous cold stream. column.
The old bandit grabbed the navigation light with one arm swelling, and one hand hooked Yu Mingjie's shoulder, calmly continuing to provide a light source for the passenger ship.
I tried my best to calm myself down, beckoning the snowman to hurry over to help Lapu stop the boat, sweating profusely, pulling up Meng Gantang and Wenfang, rushing to the ship's side, and dropping the awkward and heavy black iron anchor.
The passenger ship suddenly crashed in the sound of the iron anchor rumbling into the water, and the strong iron armor on the ship's side creaked and torn, making our minds tremble!
A ship breaking down during a voyage is definitely a matter of life and death. Generally, only after the power has completely stopped, do you dare to put down this huge triangular iron block.
At the moment, due to a sudden incident, the steam turbine built into the passenger ship almost entered the water with the iron anchor, and stopped at the same quarter of an hour. The old force of the propeller at the stern was not dissipated. Hooked up a block of ice and rock, and the hull shook violently for a few times. A piece of outer armor was directly torn from the hull by a huge force, fell into the icy water, and was immediately swallowed by the rolling river.
Not allowing everyone to react from the shocking scene just now, the passenger ship, which was able to stop, was pushed by the current and suddenly hit a side in the river.
With an unpleasant scream, the entire starboard silver outer armor of the passenger ship was completely torn like an iron bull plowed, and the windlass embedded in the hull was faintly thrown away by the powerful force.
Fortunately, Wenfang was the first to wake up. Rapp, who turned his head and rushed into the boat room, shouted: "Quickly start the propeller again. There is no way to stop the boat here. Drive forward and drive the boat in!"
Wen Fang shouted in a hurry, then slapped me hard, and said anxiously under his finger: "Go down, go down and untie the anchor, the hull won't hold on anymore!"
When I heard that I got into the water, my heart sighed: The current position of the passenger ship is basically bordering the strange waters ahead. Who knows what's going to be underwater
It's just that I am the only one who is the most suitable to go into the water, let Wenfang and the others go down, I really don't worry!
So, after biting my teeth, I couldn’t allow me to go to the warehouse and put on a diving suit. I moved my hands and feet on the spot, took off the heavy winter clothes, took two deep breaths, and rushed into the dark under the boat. River water.
The cold current of the snow-capped mountains was icy and bitter. Fortunately, the visibility in the water was barely good. I followed the thick iron chain of the anchor and quickly found a huge ice rock lurking in the water.
Although the anchor has a special release button system, there is an occlusion switch at each end of the iron anchor, and the anchor can be unloaded only by pulling down the two steel handles.
However, the process was extremely long. The cold that penetrated my bone marrow made my hands stiff and difficult to move. I had to bite the switch with my teeth and pull it down bit by bit.
After separating the anchor, I struggled to climb up with the iron rope. When I was in the air, I was looking at our situation at the moment. I can only use the words "unpredictable" to describe it.
This sudden heavy fog seemed to cut off the entire river course. The surface of the river behind the passenger ship was shimmering, glowing, and a round of blood-red setting sun set off Mount Gangdise beautifully.
But in front of the passenger ship, the strange fog obscured the sky and the sky rose from the narrow river. There was a stance of an agitated bullfighting upright, just as if at the front of the passenger ship, a towering wall of fog was erected and fainted. Faint, so that people can't really see the internal situation.
But from my position, the straight beam of light shot into by the navigation light seemed to faintly become a green tunnel guiding us into the depths of hell. The corpses deposited in the river became a ghostly corridor. ... ...
I swallowed my saliva. Those who came were not good, and those who were good would not come! The fog came out for no reason and without warning, and it brought so many dead people. The surface of the water was frozen and not frozen, and it was still not moving. It is true that I have encountered the most treacherous situation in my life, I am afraid of this kind of ship. Entering it, everyone has to encounter a lot of trouble...
"Yan Zhi, come up soon, the boat is going in!"
I was secretly worried, and Wen Fang and others on the top saw me holding the iron rope in their hands, hanging in the air for a long time without climbing, and couldn't bear to urge them.
At the moment, I withdrew my mind to stop doing this unreasonable worry, looked forward to the future, and quickly climbed back to the deck with a sigh of relief.
After boarding the ship, I quickly took off my cold clothes and put on the warm coat from before. Following that, there was a dull hum from the bottom bin under my feet, and the passenger ship was rejuvenated by the propeller. With his broken body, he slowly drove into the thick fog...
At this time, the three of them spontaneously walked to the bow of the ship, lying next to the two old bandits, using the light of the navigation lights to turn on and off, and then to clear and white, to solemnly observe the movement underneath.
The icebreaker covered by the bow easily cut open the weird water surface where the floating corpses gathered, causing waves of ripples in the water that seemed to never flow.
The ghostly floating corpses on the river surface were baptized by the ripples, and the shaking was even more intense. At this moment, two bright lights, no weaker than the navigation lights, were shot from both sides of the bow, as if a passenger ship suddenly opened its silent eyes, cold. The light made the surroundings suddenly brighter again.
The old bandit sighed like an amnesty, and turned off the navigation lights on the bow. While observing the situation in the fog dignifiedly, he said solemnly to Rapp in the cabin behind him: "Brother, this fog The water seems to be stagnant water. After the boat comes in, it will stop temporarily. It must be understood, what is the name here!" (End of this chapter)
