Two hours passed.

The fault of the ship was found, but it could not be solved for the time being. The radio call for help was answered, but it was not good news.

It will take ten hours for the nearest rescue ship to reach here.

Pei Yang checked the time on his watch, it was 03:30 in the afternoon, ten hours later it would be night.

The danger of this sea area comes from two aspects. On the one hand, the weather is unpredictable and the probability of encountering extreme weather is very high. On the other hand, there are dangerous species such as jellyfish and sharks hidden in the sea.

After confirming that there was sufficient water and food on board, Pei Yang decided to wait for rescue in place temporarily.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the light blue search and rescue ship stood still on the endless sea like a sculpture.

With the arrival of dusk, the surface of the sea became more and more peaceful, without even the slightest wind, revealing a strange feeling.

Looking at the calm sea, Pei Yang gradually felt uneasy, and he picked up the binoculars to look at the sea.

When he saw the west side, he froze, and his face suddenly became serious.

"Notify everyone, 30 nautical miles due west, a second-level sea storm warning!"

Hearing this, all the people in the boat changed their faces.

There are four levels of marine storm warning, with level one being the highest level and level two second only, and small search and rescue ships like them can only fight against level three and level four sea storms at most.

Although they knew there was a sea storm, everyone did not panic.

The weather at sea is changing rapidly, and the storm may disappear in the next second, or it may go in other directions.

With a distance of 30 nautical miles, there are too many possibilities.

After preparing for the storm, all the crew stood on the deck, looking due west.

From the crew's naked eye perspective, the sea due west is calm and peaceful.

But in Pei Yang's telescopic lens, a mass of black storm, like a distorted dragon, is slowly coming towards this side, and with the movement of the sea storm, its wind power and intensity not only did not decrease, but gradually increased. expansion.

Can't wait like this!

A strong intuition made Pei Yang realize that this sea storm would definitely pass by where they were.

Pei Yang handed the binoculars to an old crew member so that he could monitor the sea storm at all times, while he ran to the cockpit to try to start the main engine.

However, there was no response from the host after several attempts. From the alarm indicator on the panel of the host, it can be seen that there should be a problem with the propeller, that is, the propeller.

To overhaul the propeller, you have to go into the sea, but the danger in the sea is no less than that group of sea storms roaring like a dragon.

After contemplating with eyebrows for a moment, Pei Yang decisively decided to go to sea to overhaul the propeller.

Knowing that he was going to go to sea, everyone in the boat tried their best to dissuade him.

"Captain Pei, why don't you wait and see, the sea storm may not come towards us."

While wearing the diving equipment neatly, Pei Yang loudly asked the old crew member observing the sea storm to report the location of the sea storm.

"It's less than 20 nautical miles from our ship."

Hearing this, the entire crew fell silent.

Pei Yang quickly put on the diving equipment, and while explaining the work of the deputy captain, he walked quickly towards the sea passage with a toolbox in his hand.

"Captain Pei, you take this with self-defense."

It is a double-edged short knife with a barb, about 20 cm long.

Pei Yang took it and put it on his waist casually. After taking a deep look at the crew, he turned around and plunged into the sea.

In the sea, Pei Yang swam towards the propeller at the stern while observing the surrounding water.

After arriving at the stern, it was found that the propeller was entangled to death by an old fishing net.

Pei Yang immediately took out the scissors from the toolbox to clean the fishing nets.

Seeing that all the fishing nets were about to be cleared, Pei Yang suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him, accompanied by the surge of water.

Foreseeing that the danger was approaching, he hid behind the propeller without hesitation, and saw the creature attacking him clearly.

A great white shark about one meter in length, followed by two young sharks about half a meter in length.

The great white shark bit him with its mouth wide open, and Pei Yang stretched out his feet and kicked hard on the bottom of the boat, successfully evading the attack of the great white shark with the help of the rebound.

However, he dodged the big ones but not the small ones.

A small white shark opened its mouth and bit his arm hard.

The excruciating pain made Pei Yang almost choke, but years of experience on the battlefield made his body counterattack faster than his brain.

"puff!"

The dagger completely disappeared into the little white shark's eyes.

The little white shark fled towards the distance with a stream of bloody red water.

The other two sharks, one big and one small, were attracted by the blood of the little white shark and followed them.

Pei Yang took the opportunity to clean up the remaining fishing nets on the propeller, and dived out of the sea as fast as possible.

With the help of the team members, Pei Yang returned to the search and rescue ship smoothly.

At this time, the sea storm was crushing towards their sea area with a force of destruction, and the distance was less than 5 nautical miles.

If you don't go, the whole ship will capsize and be torn apart by the storm.

Pei Yang didn't care about his bleeding arm, and loudly ordered the boat to sail.

With the start of the engine, the hull trembled and left rapidly in the opposite direction.

The power of the search and rescue ship was maximized, but the sea storm behind it was getting closer and closer, and the whole rescue ship was shaken from side to side by the strong wind.

After an unknown period of time, the fuel of the search and rescue ship was about to run out, and everyone fell into despair. Some even closed their eyes and waited for death to come.

"The storm seems to have stopped!"

Looking at the gradually calming sea behind him, Pei Yang heaved a sigh of relief, then his vision went dark and he fell headfirst on the deck.

When he woke up, it was already dark.

Because there was not much fuel left, in order to save money, the power supply was not turned on on board, but kerosene lamps were lit for lighting.

Not knowing if it was because of the kerosene lamp, Pei Yang coughed violently a few times.

"Captain Pei." The crew member guarding him woke up and looked at him with joy, "You finally woke up."

"what time is it."

Opening his mouth, the hoarse voice surprised Pei Yang himself, and he touched his forehead, which was so hot that he was startled.

A fever at sea is not a good sign.

He subconsciously glanced at the injured left arm, the wound was tightly wrapped in gauze, but the burning itching made him realize that his wound was inflamed.

"Is there a rescue team on the radio?"

The crew shook their heads, "After the storm, we have not been in touch with the rescue team, and no other ships have been found in the nearby waters."

Pei Yang asked about food, drinking water and medicine, but the reserves of each item were not optimistic.

Compared to the rest of the crew, his own situation was the worst.

He lost a lot of blood and the wound was inflamed. Although he had been given first aid measures, the effect was obviously not good.

The crew brought him some biscuits and drinking water.

Every mouthful of biscuits was as difficult for Pei Yang as gravel scraping his throat. After barely eating two biscuits, he couldn't eat any more. He only drank some drinking water, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When he regained consciousness, Pei Yang was surprised to find that he was in a mourning hall, and in the photo frame directly in front of the mourning hall was his own black and white portrait.
