Feng Ling quickly followed Qiao Fei towards the sea.
A helicopter from the rescue team was already approaching and descending slowly over the sea.
The rescue vehicles and rescue boats sent by the military have also arrived near the sea area.
The cruise ship has traveled more than two thousand meters to the center of the sea. The fire on the cruise ship spread quickly. At first, only black smoke and some flames could be seen above. When the rescue team helicopter descended to a certain height, the cruise ship The firelight on the stern of the ship became more and more visible.
Several violent men who were escorting the Rited family jumped directly into the sea from the bow of the ship, trying to escape smoothly from the sea.
However, the Ritted family did not show up, fearing that they were all tied up in the cabin of the cruise ship and waiting to die.
The military's rescue ship cooperated with the rescue team's helicopter to prepare to approach, but the wind and waves on the sea were too strong at the moment, and both ships were shaking violently, making it difficult to get close.
The voice of the captain of the rescue team on the helicopter came from the earphones: "Report, the wind and waves are too big to go on the cruise ship to rescue people. The rescue team applies to release the inflatable raft. Please notify the military rescue personnel in the base hall and put on all their clothes." Life-saving equipment, our team members will use direct rescue methods on board the ship, and people need to be taken out before the fire completely spreads."
The base hall immediately notified the rescue ship sent by the military.
Feng Ling and Qiao Fei had already boarded the nearest military rescue ship. The ship could not get closer. Both of them stared in the direction of the cruise ship, waiting for the next order.
Soon, an orange-red inflatable raft that could accommodate a dozen people was released from the rescue boat. Two members of the rescue team who got off the helicopter lay down in it, paddled the water with their hands, and began to try again to approach the smoke-filled cruise ship.
No one can be seen outside the cabin on the tanker, but the Ritted family is still inside, and I don’t know what the situation is.
Feng Ling and Qiao Fei took another inflatable raft placed underneath the military rescue ship and began to approach the cruise ship.
The whole process lasted about two or three minutes. The inflatable raft finally approached the cruise ship. Everyone quickly climbed up on the edge, grabbing everything they could to push upwards, and successfully climbed onto the smoke-filled cruise ship.
The rescue team's plane is still hovering in the sky and is on standby at any time. After all, with this kind of fire, if the plane continues to approach downward, it will only cause more unnecessary dangers.
Feng Ling Qiaofei and members of the rescue team put on fireproof gas masks to cover the thick smoke, divided into four directions, and rushed in towards the main entrance and both sides of Ruoda's cabin.
There are six floors in this cruise ship, and each floor is about three to four hundred square meters. It would take a lot of effort to find people in such thick smoke.
After Feng Ling entered, he rushed directly upstairs. The others started from the first floor and went up one floor at a time. They must search every corner and place where people can hide.
When they reached the fifth floor, Feng Ling's steps suddenly stopped. In the blink of an eye, he saw a huge wooden box placed there on the observation deck on the top floor of the cruise ship, almost about to be swallowed up by the billowing smoke. .
Feng Ling paused, then quickly walked over, kicked off the chain on the wooden box, and suddenly opened the heavy lid on the box. Sure enough, he saw that the three members of the Lited family were trapped inside.
A man, a woman and a three-year-old child had their hands and feet tied, and their heads were covered with a layer of black cloth. The three of them had been so intoxicated by the thick smoke on the cruise ship that they didn't even have the strength to struggle inside. When the black cloth was suddenly lifted open, the first person to open her eyes was the woman in her thirties who should be Mayor Ritted's wife.
When the woman saw Feng Ling, her eyes were filled with fear. Then she looked at the thick smoke and fire outside. The fear in her eyes turned to asking for help. She looked at Feng Ling and then looked at the person beside her who was already frightened. The child's eyes were choked by the thick smoke and his face was red from holding back tears. The hope of survival in his eyes was more conspicuous than the thick smoke around him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Feng Ling spoke proficient English to Mayor Literde's wife, and at the same time, he quickly pulled off the black tape stuck to the mouths of the family of three.
As soon as Mayor Riterde's wife got her mouth free, she immediately shouted heartbreakingly: "Save us... we don't want to die... save the children..."
"Don't worry, we are from the XI base and we will keep you safe." Feng Ling comforted her and quickly cut the rope around the child, and then used it to remove Mayor Rited's wife and Mayor Rited. The rope on his body was cut.
"What happened to him?" Seeing that Mayor Rited had been unconscious, and only his wife and child were still somewhat conscious, Feng Ling asked while taking the child out of the box first.
“After we were kidnapped, my husband has been beaten by the violent men. He had already been injured. When he was taken to the cruise ship, his head was also injured and he was unconscious all the time. "Mayor Mrs. Rited struggled to stand up from the box with tears in her eyes. Seeing the child being held in the arms of the young man who came to save them, she looked at Feng Ling gratefully and stretched out her hand to hold the child together with Feng Ling. Mayor Rited helped him up after falling motionless in the box.
"Feng Ling?" The members of the rescue team rushed to the fifth floor. After hearing the movement here, the first two people came up quickly.
"Quickly, help Mayor Rited down first. He has been unconscious all this time. Such thick smoke is too deadly." Feng Ling said, taking off the fireproof gas mask on his head and putting it on his stomach. He looked over the head of the crying child in his arms, and then glanced at Mayor Rited's wife: "Our people will carry Mayor Rited away first, can you still walk?" ?”
Seeing Mayor Riterde's wife nodding vigorously to her in a hurry, her eyes were still looking nervously at the child in Feng Ling's arms, obviously wanting to follow Feng Ling and the child and not wanting to be separated from the child.
Two members of the rescue team carried out Mayor Rited, who weighed more than 200 kilograms. Feng Ling held the crying child in his arms and motioned for Mayor Rited's wife to go with her.
When the two of them took their children downstairs, Qiao Fei also came over quickly: "How is it? Is there anyone else up there?"
"No, there are only three of them. Mayor Rited is in a coma now. His wife and children are still awake for the time being." Feng Ling said, walking quickly out without stopping.
"If this cruise ship continues to burn, the oil tank will explode." In order to prevent Mayor Ritted's wife from being surprised later, Qiao Fei whispered in a voice that only Feng Ling could hear.
"I know." Feng Ling's expression was serious, but the child in his arms was probably really scared and uncomfortable. While crying, he kept pushing hard with both feet in her arms. Feng Ling kept holding her firmly. The restless child rushed out of the hatch.
