Looking at the ground below that was gradually submerged by seawater, the oil seeped from the bulkhead floated on the seawater. After the huge flame rushed past just now, the oil on the water surface had already burned up, and the bottom was like a sea of flames.
Zhong Chufei closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said: "We are in a part of the engine room now, the bulkhead below is probably cracked, and the sea water is coming up, and the worse news is that the oil depot is in There's an oil spill and there's an open flame down there."
"Is there a lot of oil leaking from the oil depot?" Ling Qingyu asked softly.
"Big, it's a fire now, but according to this trend, ten minutes." Looking at the amount of liquid oil leaking from the oil depot, Zhong Chufei sighed lightly and said, "No, I'm afraid that in five minutes, there will be Create the next explosion."
"Let's go back, there is a door over there, let's crawl through it." Ling Qingyu crawled backwards and said. The steel pipes above it have all fallen off, and maybe there is still life.
It was already very difficult for them to climb forward, and it was even more difficult to climb backward at this time. After calculating the time, if they could not climb out in time, the heat wave from the explosion below would rush in. Zhong Chufei smiled and said: "Okay! Let's fall go back."
There were several knocking sounds on the pipe wall, and the rhythmic knocking sound made the three of them stop all their movements suddenly, listening carefully to the sound with Morse code.
"Someone!" Knowing that the voice was asking if it was Ling Qingyu, Zhong Chufei shouted: "Yes, Ling Qingyu and us are here, we are stuck!" He pulled out the hairpin and knocked out Morse code on the wall of the pipe.
Hearing the small but clear echo on the pipe wall, a gratified smile appeared on Lu Yao's lips, and he patted the earphone but saw no response, thinking that it was damaged by the shock wave of the explosion just now, Lu Yao still Said: "I have found Qing Yu, I will take her to the third engine in the engine room, you go there to respond." He said, turned on the flashlight, and crawled to the pipe where the sound came from.
Seeing them firing grenades, he rolled under the pipe and climbed directly into a ventilation pipe. The huge waves from the explosion outside chased his ass and rolled in the pipe. Fortunately, there was a fork in the pipe halfway, allowing him to hide in. , only to avoid the violent explosion.
It turned out that not only the bottom of the ship was blasted, but even the oil depot next to it was blown apart, and there would be a sea of flames over there. Looking at the direction of the ventilation duct, Lu Yao chose to crawl to the other side through the ventilation duct.
Subconsciously, he felt that if Ling Qingyu fell, he should be in that direction.
When the pipe was so complicated that it wound around his head until he felt a little dizzy, he heard the sound of the head hitting the wall of the pipe. Although it seemed to be some distance away, the sound could be transmitted, so the pipe was naturally figured out.
He crawled in the direction of the sound, but found that there was no road ahead, and the ventilation duct was blocked tightly.
Logically, since it is a ventilation duct, it should be connected. Moreover, the sound did come from the duct. After searching around, it was found that the duct was indeed blocked, but it was not completely blocked, leaving a few gaps.
He stopped, drew the position of the pipe in his mind, and then realized that the pipe that made the sound should lead to the first engine room that was already in flames. If it was really her, if she continued to climb over...
He yelled loudly, but the sound didn't seem to pass through. Remembering that what he heard was also the sound of hitting the pipe wall, he tapped the pipe wall with a flashlight, hoping that she could hear it.
Continuing to tap on the tube wall to ask them where they are and if there are any markers around them, and listening to the codes returned by the other party, Lu Yao frowned again unconsciously.
From this point of view, they should be in an abandoned and blocked ventilation duct. He was also connected to that duct, but now it is blocked. If they want to go there, they can either go out and bypass it from the outside, or directly Break through the blocked place.
It was too late to go around, so I had to break through.
"I'm going to break through the passage, so don't move yet." After typing out the code on the wall of the pipe, and hearing the reply from the other party, Lu Yao put the gun back into the holster, pulled out the saber, and took a closer look with the flashlight. Those few gaps, stepped back a little, the saber was inserted into the gap fiercely, shouted loudly, the internal force of the whole body was activated, just about to hit the wall of the tube, and then retracted violently, under the counterattack of the internal force, the blood was surging, and a mouthful of blood It sprayed out directly.
From the gap where the saber was inserted, one could faintly hear an urgent message from the other party. They said that the tunnel they were in was very narrow and could only allow one person to crawl.
If this place is not far from them, then he can shatter the tube wall with a full blow, but they who are tightly wrapped by the tube wall will also be affected.
Don't worry, Lu Yao, don't worry, there must be another way..., calming down the blood rushing in his chest, Lu Yao's mind of crawling all the way and the boat picture already deeply imprinted in his mind, in the brain A three-dimensional pattern is formed.
That's right, the exit facing them is the No. 1 engine room. According to the direction of the ventilation duct, there should be an exit to the No. 1 engine room, and the exit should be on a bulkhead.
He stepped back and searched carefully with the flashlight, and sure enough there was a wire mesh fence at an inconspicuous corner.
The saber was pried on the edge of the fence, and with a sudden force, the entire iron netting was pried off. After climbing a few steps inside, the pipe suddenly became wider, and the height was enough for him to squat up.
Short body ran in the pipe, and after running more than 20 meters, he felt the heat wave in front of him, and the light was scorching.
There was another iron mesh fence at the mouth of the pipe, and Lu Yao pushed it open with his foot. After the iron mesh fell into it, sparks burst out and there was a pop.
Looking at it with a probe, the hole is only four or five meters away from the sea of flames that has spread to the entire engine room below, and the cracks in the oil depot are even bigger, and the oil spilled on the water and splashed fire dragons.
"Where are you?" Lu Yao raised his head and called without hesitation.
The heat was getting higher and higher, and Zhong Chufei couldn't stay still at the entrance of the cave, and was about to retreat, when she heard a voice from below, she poked her head out excitedly and shouted: "We are here!"
Seeing that it wasn't Ling Qingyu who came out with the probe, Lu Yao felt a little bit in his heart. He could only let the person in front come out as soon as possible. After seeing that the two openings were exactly in a straight line, the distance between them was less than two meters, he said, "You jump down, I'll take it." Stop you!"
Uh... jump... Zhong Chufei looked down at her appearance like a caterpillar (Ling Qingyu gave her a green sportswear), gritted her teeth, put her hands on the wall of the pipe, and moved her body out. Then…
Then it fell.
Lu Yao reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled her back, half-throwing it into the pipe. Zhong Chufei didn't talk nonsense, and ran directly inside to make room for the people behind.
Seeing that Zhong Chufei just slipped away, Lin Ziyu was in a daze for three seconds, and was pushed by Ling Qingyu, thinking about whether the door to go back was blocked or not, it was impossible to crawl back just like this, eyes closed Climbed forward fiercely, and then fell down with a whimper.
Throwing Lin Ziyu into the pipe, Lu Yao anxiously shouted, "Qing Yu, hurry up!"
The fire has already burned up along the oil flow that suddenly increased and leaked from the oil depot. If it explodes...
All parts of the body were injured, and the broken leg was already numb. Ling Qingyu's body was already in a state of extreme exhaustion, but if he didn't work hard, he would die here.
There are still many people waiting for her outside!
Gritting his teeth, he dragged his legs and crawled out with all his strength, not paying attention to what the exit was like. Ling Qingyu closed his eyes, and with a push, his body slid down from the hole.
Then fell into a strong arm, and then was hugged into a warm embrace.
The hug was so tight that it seemed to be trembling faintly, and the meaning conveyed in it made her slightly startled.
Just hugged her tightly, Lu Yao pushed her into the tunnel and shouted, "Go!"
The pipe here is much wider. Both Zhong Chufei and Lin Ziyu can run forward quickly with a short body, but Ling Qingyu can't. Her legs can't support her at all, so she can only lie on the ground halfway. Trying to move forward, at the same time saying: "You go first, leave me alone!"
Lu Yao was slightly stunned, and saw her obviously deformed legs in the light of the fire, his pupils suddenly shrank, stepped forward, hugged her and turned her over, let her wrap her hands around his neck, with her legs clamped around his waist On, said: "Hold firmly."
Ling Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, seeing him kneeling on the ground with one arm around her waist to hug her, one hand propped on the ground, crawling out quickly in a kneeling and crawling posture to prevent her from lying on the ground, her eyes felt a little hot.
This embrace, that deep, thick and magnetic voice, that tightly hugging arm, and that heartbeat that feels more familiar when you close your eyes.
That distant memory came to my mind, back then, on that snowy mountain, that person rolled her down the snowy slope with her in his arms like this, at such a dangerous moment, his heartbeat was the same as it is now, and the steady rhythm made her heart also stable down.
It seems to be telling her, don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid...
There was a sound of hot air expanding behind him, and he yelled in his heart that he was not good. Lu Yao speeded up, and when the wall of the pipe was violently shaken, he took off the leg that was hooked around his waist, and then hugged her and moved forward. With a pounce, she stuffed her body into the suddenly narrowed hole that Zhong Chufei and Lin Ziyu had climbed into, then stood up and blocked her body against the hole.
"Lu Yao!" Ling Qingyu exclaimed sadly.
You, remember me? Qing Yu...
There was a violent explosion sound from behind, and the flames rolled and rushed in along the pipe. Lu Yao smiled at Ling Qingyu in the dazzling light from the hot flames.
That smile was so clearly reflected in her pupils, what she had been deliberately ignoring all this time, that imprinted in her long memory, a flawless, pure but joyful smile.
Just like that day, when they came down from Baoshan, he said to her with the shyness of a teenager, after he said I will marry you, he smiled.
With just a flash, Lu Yao raised his head and blocked the hole with his body.
The muffled sound of the explosion seemed to be far away...
Only the temperature of the heat wave still passes through the tube wall and the body.
