"monster?"

A group of sailors who were idle and nothing to do suddenly crowded over. They stood beside Connie and looked at the sea in the distance.

Generally speaking, when people stand on a boat, their eyes cannot penetrate the sea surface, because people cannot see things under the sea surface due to the refraction of light and other reasons.

But for things above the sea, it will be more conspicuous, which is like a black block with no light reflection on the surface of a piece of silver sparkling water.

People saw the thing all at once, and some lads yelled and guessed what it was.

"Maybe it's a whale..."

"Maybe it's a sunfish..."

The sailors happily guessed, and Connie also actively joined in, "It may be a submarine..."

The laughter of the sailors around disappeared instantly. Everyone was looking at Connie with a look of "Do you know what you're talking about". The arc of their mouths and their clenched fists made Connie aware of it. I said the wrong thing.

"Hey, I mean..."

Before he could explain anything, a violent explosion sounded and the armed **** ship was overturned.

The explosion was not as high as the fire in the movie. You can only see a huge spray suddenly blooming below the waterline, with black smoke in the spray, and then the armed **** ship was turned over, head down and toes. The upward one began to sink slowly.

Those armed men who fell into the water swam frantically to other places, and while the ship was silent, a turbulence would be drawn out. If they were unlucky, they would be engulfed by this suction to the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, the ship capsized, and it took a while to sink, enough for them to escape the deadly area.

What happened in a short time was so amazing that everyone lost the ability to speak.

The federal people are not a nation that "brings seeds", at least not yet so "bringing seeds". When facing this kind of almost war-like situation, the only thing they can do is to flee desperately.

But this is the sea, where can people escape?

With the sound of "poof" falling into the water, people seemed to wake up, and a sailor put down the lifeboat.

According to relevant federal laws and regulations, the carrying capacity of the lifeboat of a seagoing vessel must meet twice the number of people carried by the vessel.

This is a cargo ship with a small number of nuclear crews, so only one lifeboat was hung on each side of the hull.

Just as Connie ran to the other side of the ship's side, he turned his gaze inadvertently and saw something like a swordfish under the sea swiftly hitting the freighter...

There was a loud bang. In fact, it was more of the wailing made when the metal was twisted. When the water that almost covered the sky fell, the hull was already tilting, and a hole was blown out at the bottom of the ship. The sea water poured in quickly, and the ears were all Siren……

The sailors were all knocked down on the deck when the explosion occurred. After waiting a few seconds, they all got up, pinched their noses and jumped into the water.

Connie also jumped out of the water with everyone, followed by the cursing captain and first officer. Almost everyone got on the ship, except for those in the boiler warehouse.

Together they rowed the lifeboat very far, watching the freighter overturning little by little, and everyone had a very complicated expression on their faces.

The very embarrassed captain patted the shoulder of the guy next to him, with a little smile on his face, "This is not bad news, at least for us."

Everyone's eyes were on him, and he responded to everyone with his eyes, "Look, twice, the first time we met the robber, the second time we met this..." I don't know how to describe it, "But, we survived."

"This is the best. We have faced the worst twice before, but now that we have survived, there is nothing more exciting than this, to escape from the dead."

"Each of you is already a'legendary sailor.' You can brag to anyone on any boat about what you have experienced. No one can refute you."

It was really unlucky, but after the captain said so, everyone felt that they were really lucky.

Connie, who was still dizzy, asked suddenly, "That submarine won't attack us?"

The originally harmonious atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant, and the captain clenched his fists. Considering that it is not time to beat people, he smiled and said, "According to international conventions, even belligerents cannot slaughter civilians..."

Eventually, these people gathered together with those who escaped from the armed **** ship, and with the help of the simple compass on the old captain's neck, they rowed towards the coast of Ameria.

After more than a day, everyone collapsed, and the appearance of the coastline inspired some desperate people again.

Yes, despair, it took only one day from the excitement of surviving to despair.

Behaviouralists once did it for a time. They built two passages. One was dark, with nothing to see, and the other was filled with light.

They divided the participants into two pairs, one walking through the invisible passage, and the other walking through the passage full of light.

The length of the two passages is the same without any obstruction. As long as you walk forward in large strides, you can get out of the passage in just fifteen minutes.

However, only one of the people who participated in the experiment walked out of the invisible channel. Everyone else failed. On the contrary, all those who walked in the light channel finally walked out.

Visible and invisible give people two extreme feedbacks, just like these sailors floating on the sea.

They rowed hard but never saw the coastline. From the excitement at the beginning, to depression, numbness and even despair, it didn't take much time. As long as they let their efforts lose sight of hope, they would be desperate.

Not to mention the lack of fresh water and food will exacerbate people's emotional decline. In fact, it is a great thing for these people to persist until now without emotional breakdown.

If any of them were taken out and a lifeboat alone, it might have collapsed long ago.

And this just proves the role of collective power.

A few hours later, these people finally got ashore, and in the port hotel, they found the company who came to pick up the goods.

"I thought you would come a little earlier, did you encounter a storm?" There was a faint mockery on the face of the person who spoke. The captain was very embarrassed at this time. He was first wetted by the sea and then exposed to the sun. His face was black and red, and his neck was even more skinny. He was embarrassed, and he didn't look much better than the locals.

So this sentence seems to be asking if the other party is so embarrassed because of the storm, but it's actually just a mockery.

The captain took out his pipe, unceremoniously opened the other party's cigarette case on the coffee table, took out two cigarettes, rolled them into pieces, and used the other party's lighter.

He looked at the other's unpleasant face, took a couple of mouthfuls, slowly spit out, the whole person seemed to have been sublimated at this moment and completed a new life.

He said lightly, "The ship sank, with our cargo!"

...

At 11:30, it was a time to fall asleep. Mr. Wardrick in pajamas had just had a friendly match with his wife. When he was about to go to bed contentedly, the phone ringing disturbed him.

He and his wife whispered a few words, let her go to bed first, then put on a dress and walked to the study.

"What happened?" He put his shoulder against the microphone while taking out a solid color and lighting it. He knew that he was still coming to disturb his call at this time. It was definitely not a joke.

There is a particularly clear boundary between the federal public and private. As long as they enter private time after their last working time, they are not willing to be disturbed.

They don't want to be disturbed, and they don't want to actively disturb others unless they have to.

The phone call at this time didn't look like a prank. The solid-colored smoke particles rolled in his mouth, and the nicotine was absorbed through the mucous membrane, and it started to take effect quickly. He was ready, "I hope it's not a bad thing."

There was silence on the receiver side for two seconds, and the voice was slightly heavy, "Our ship sank." It may be that the description is not very detailed. The person on the other end of the phone added, "The ship heading for the Anmelia region, sinking. Now, together with our goods."

After more than ten seconds, Mr. Wardrick reacted, "Does anyone else know?"

"The board of directors has held a meeting overnight. If you have time, come to the company. If you don't have time, join this conference call. The number is..."

Mr. Wardrick thought for a while, "I'll come to the company and help me prepare the car."

After he hung up the phone, he sat on the chair and didn't move. Instead, he took a few mouthfuls of solid color, and there was a look on his face that he didn't know what it was. There was no doubt that it was Lynch's handwriting.

His evaluation of Lynch is higher. If the military and his friendship have reached the point where they can attack the country’s merchant ships, then Lynch’s value must be reassessed.

Half an hour later, Mr. Wardrick appeared in the board meeting hall~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, many people had come, and some were suddenly absent from Bupen because of the incident, but they also joined. A conference call.

After waiting for a while and the last person contacted, the meeting officially started.

"I asked the shipping company just now. If we want to salvage our ship, our cost is about 10 million yuan." The chairman of the board of directors pressed his temple, and he is now having a headache.

"There are other various losses, this time we have reimbursed another 20 million, gentlemen, 20 million!"

"Plus the 16 million we lost before, we lost so much if we didn't do anything, who can tell me how much we will lose next?"

His voice was not grumpy, and the volume was not loud, but no one dared to ignore it.

Wardrick sat aside, his expression serious, but his eyes were filled with an elusive smile, and he had almost won the game.
