Chapter 3 Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves will occasionally add 3000 recommended votes for updates

  Before the words were finished, the deck had already tilted to a 40-degree angle. We held tightly onto the railing, afraid that with one careless move we would fall into the sea. In this kind of weather, falling into the water meant certain death.

  Liu Yawei and another crew member ran over, pulling a rope, shouting to us: "Grab the rope! If not, wrap it around your waist!" Xinxiao Xin had just finished vomiting, at this time hugging the railing and refusing to let go, saying that he would not go to grab the rope.

  Liu Yawei shouted loudly: "The old rascal has arrived! If you don't go into the cabin, you'll die!"

  I had by now jumped across and grabbed the rope. Then, one after another, all those clinging to the railing grasped the rope, like a string of wind-blown teeth on a necklace.

  The sailors in the cabin next door pulled together and hauled us over.

  The cover of the swimming pool has been closed, Li Xuan Yu and Xu Biying are busy in the living room pouring away the leftover coffee, and the cups have all been put back into the storage cabinet. Everyone else is on high alert, holding their breath, staring out the window.

  Outside the window, a huge wave like a wall and a wall, carrying the momentum of the mountain and sea, rushed towards us.

  Only those who have experienced such a scene firsthand can know what it's like to be faced with towering waves as high as a wall. The murky seawater, under the impact of the raging wind, stood upright on the surface of the sea, rushing towards us in a torrent. There are two types of massive waves at sea: one is called "浪" (waves), which can directly capsize or sink a ship; the other is called "涌" (surge), like a knife blade, lifting the ship high up, and under the force of gravity, the hull breaks in two. Either type, as long as it's big enough, is a catastrophic disaster.

  Wang An shouted a few sentences, turned the steering wheel in his hand, and the yacht charged forward against the waves.

  My eyes went wide, and I was already stunned by such a huge wave. When you face such a terrifying natural force, the two trembles are absolutely a kind of need from the heart. Before I sat down on the sofa, the boat had been lifted high by the waves, and for an instant, everything seemed to be in a state of weightlessness, suspended in mid-air; then the bow of the boat burst through the wave crest, and a large amount of seawater splashed onto the glass, just like a fierce beast pounced on us, wanting to tear us all apart. I saw Jiang Nan already sitting on the ground, his upper and lower teeth chattering non-stop, making a rattling sound, and in the blink of an eye, he had flown up into the air...

  It wasn't just him, everything in the cabin that wasn't fixed down had taken off - we'd crested the wave and were plummeting downwards, falling into the trough. It was like being on a pirate ship at an amusement park, when your body feels the acceleration of the drop and the innate human fear of weightlessness takes over your entire brain, leaving it a complete blank.

  The ship's hull shook violently, and the water surface that had been smashed to the bottom of the waves was now calm. The people in the cabin were thrown back onto the deck in various strange postures, each one pale and miserable, and even Mingying didn't care about her image as she crawled into the toilet, presumably to vomit uncontrollably.

  Wang Anjin shouted again, turning the bow of the ship around and yelling: "You bastards! Hold on to your pants tightly, follow old dad into the typhoon!"

  What kind of bird is the captain? Although there is no wind in the eye of the typhoon, the wind around the eye of the typhoon is the strongest. If you rush in recklessly, I'm afraid the whole ship will be twisted and bent, sinking into the sea!

  But with the steering wheel in his hands, I was helpless and could only climb onto the sofa, pull out the seatbelt and buckle up.

  Wang Anjin stared intently at the barometer, the needle jumping continuously to the left. This meant they were gradually sailing into the typhoon area. At this moment, the entire yacht was like it had been electrified, shaking violently and tossing them around so much that their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys were all tangled together. Seeing the yacht being treated like this, Dong Hao felt both heartache and physical pain, shouting loudly at Wang Anjin: "Captain, don't go any further!" Before he had even finished speaking, he too was hugging a trash can and vomiting.

  "Son of a bitch, do you know what the hell is going on?! You want to sail in this stormy weather and still expect me to be intact?!" As he spoke, he burst into loud laughter and sang a stirring and tragic sea shanty, while turning the rudder sharply to the right and accelerating rapidly. The boat shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

  I looked out from the front glass of the driver's cabin, and in front of me was a sky full of dark clouds, with flashes of lightning cutting through every now and then, as if to split the sky. Our ship speed is getting faster and faster, it seems that the strong wind is blowing from behind, adding the power of the wind, waves and the ship's momentum, this huge cruise ship is like a speedboat flying across the sea surface. From one wave crest to another, it was like a dragonfly touching water. Wang Anjin sang non-stop in his mouth, at this time he had already sung to the most exciting part: "Only afraid of no wine, only afraid of no wind, the bow splits the water surface, hot blood boils the sea... YO... HO..."

  What's wrong with him? Is he drunk? This is a rhythm of seeking death!

  A massive lightning bolt was about to strike our ship, and everyone was cowering on the ground, trembling with fear. I stole a glance at the captain, who had an expression of longing and anticipation on his face, his muscles tense, as if all the time in his life had been spent waiting for this moment of thrill; only such stimulation could give him a sense of real existence and infinite excitement.

  The ship shook a few more times, but unexpectedly calmed down a bit. I suddenly remembered that in the Northern Hemisphere, typhoons rotate counterclockwise, so navigation calls the right half of the direction of the typhoon's advance the "danger semicircle", where the wind is strong and the waves are high, and the pressure gradient is extremely large; and the left half is called the "navigable semicircle", where the wind direction is northerly, which is a following wind for our ship heading south. In addition to the relationship between the typhoon's movement route, if we go full speed ahead, we should be able to leave the typhoon area soon.

  In the distance on the horizon, dark clouds have surprisingly parted, revealing a ray of sunlight that shines down onto the surface of the sea.

  Suddenly, the boat plunged into a trough of waves. Wang Anjin, who had always remained calm even in bigger waves, suddenly cursed loudly and quickly turned the rudder. The boat tilted to one side and made a half-circle before continuing forward. Under the huge inertia, everyone on board leaned to the left. Xin Xiaoxin shouted: "What the...!" Wang Anjin turned back and scolded: "Shut up! One more word from you and I'll throw you overboard!" Xin Xiaoxin immediately shut his mouth, but just by looking at his eyes, it was clear that he was still cursing in his heart.

  At this critical moment, as long as you don't wet your pants, it's considered a strong psychological quality. Wang Anjin drove the boat through the waves, and everyone on board was tumbling around. Jiang Nan couldn't help but vomit directly into the cabin, and was stared at fiercely by Dong Hao for several seconds.

  The pungent smell of stomach acid spread throughout the cabin. Li Xuan Yu and Xu Biying endured their nausea, covering their mouths as they crawled into the bathroom, but Xin Xiao Xin couldn't hold it in either and also started vomiting in the cabin.

  This expensive carpet is completely ruined. In a short while, the floor was filled with stinky things, and people's eyes were streaming with tears.

  Wang Anjin cursed the junk while opening up the throttle to continue charging forward, the yacht was like a roller coaster tumbling up and down on the sea surface. After another dozen or so waves, finally, the yacht gradually calmed down.

  Dong Hao covered his nose and loudly called the crew to drag the carpet out. Everyone struggled to prop themselves up on the sofa for a while, calming down. Then they each returned to their rooms, showered and changed clothes.

  Those four girls had already been twisted into a mess in the bathroom, somehow recovering some strength, and each crawled back to their room. I was wearing a diving suit, which was slightly better, and after taking it off and brushing it with water a few times, there was no smell or trace left.

  I changed into a T-shirt and questioned Yang Chao, who was in the same room as me, why he still wanted to set sail in such dangerous weather. Dong Hao, who had just come in from outside, shrugged and said: "Our boat is pretty good, what's a little wind and waves?" I was so angry that I almost couldn't help but grab his collar. Yang Chao said that as long as we could get through this, we would be able to shake off the others and widen the gap.

  As long as we can get through? If we can't, are we going to end up in the belly of a fish? Is the corpse of a dead beauty really more important than the lives of everyone on this ship? I shook my head and returned to the cabin.

  The carpet has been dragged away. I walked to Wang Anjin's side, holding onto the wall, and asked him why he had just shaken the bow of the boat back and forth. Wang Anjin didn't turn his head to look at me, but only said: "There are reefs under the sea! Damn it, big drops!"

  Reef? I said this is no longer shallow sea, how can there be reefs?

  "Damn you, I'm telling you it's true! Is the Nest of Birds made of stones or bricks? What the hell is this place down here, a ghost town or what?"

  My heart skipped a beat. Just now in Langya Bay, perhaps the corner of Gangcheng City Wall has already been exposed? I hastily asked: "Captain Wang, what about that city wall, is it vertical or horizontal?"
