On the morning of the seventh day, as usual, I came to the bow deck to bask in the sun, but when I walked out of the cabin, I discovered that there was no sun today, but it was not cloudy, just cloudy.
Shaoyu was also relaxing on the deck. When he saw me coming, he said hello to me, and the two of us stood on the deck smoking cigarettes and chatting about trivial matters.
But at this moment, I felt a little windy. Although the wind was not strong, it was a bit cold on my body, just like the air-conditioning air, which was cold on my skin.
I couldn't help but shiver, "It's broad daylight, where's the cold wind coming from?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Shaoyu shout in surprise, "Oh my God , Brother Jin, look in front of us.”
I turned around and took a look, and I was a little dumbfounded. In the sea two to three hundred meters in front of us, there was actually a large white fog area. This vast white fog surrounded the entire sea area in front of us. But the color of the mist is very strange. It is not white, but closer to gray, that kind of off-white.
This is different from ordinary sea fog. It is very different. Looking at it, it is a thick gray smoke. It is so gray that you can’t see the road ahead. The most terrible thing is that this fog seems to It's flowing, rushing toward us little by little. I can even feel it expanding.
“Holy shit, what does this mean? Where did such heavy fog come from?” I have been at sea for so many years and I have never seen this scene. Fog can appear on the sea, but there is absolutely no The fog was so thick and thick that there was almost no visibility.
Shaoyu quickly took out the telescope. He looked ahead and said, "It's thick fog. It feels like there's something in it."
I snatched the telescope from his hand. Looking to the opposite side, under the telescope, you can clearly see that the thick fog is slowly expanding, but you can't see what is inside at all, which is not a good thing.
"This is troublesome, this is the only way we must pass." I returned the telescope to him and said.
"Yes, this matter is not trivial. I have to inform others quickly." Shaoyu hurriedly ran to the cabin.
Soon, Shaoyu ran out of the cabin with Mai Lao, Martin and others. Even Lao Wu and others on the boat rushed over. When the big guy saw the man not far ahead, When the gray mist appeared, everyone was amazed, even the old guy Mai had a puzzled look on his face.
"What kind of fog is this? It's just like thick smoke. It's so damn scary." Steamed Bun turned his head to look at us, with a look of fear on his face.
"My dear, I have been at sea for so many years and I have never seen such a strange fog. Do any of you know what is going on?" The big man was also confused, although he couldn't see it. Although he was obviously scared, he was definitely worried.
"I don't know. It's normal to have fog on the sea, but this is the first time I've seen such a thick fog. You see, the fog has been flowing. It's really similar to thick smoke, and it's spreading towards us." Shaoyu extended He took action and pointed forward, with a heavy expression on his face.
We are all sailors who have been out at sea for many years, but no one has ever seen this strange heavy fog. Everyone on the ship does not understand what is going on. It seems that This is a very rare quadrant.
Martin asked a little anxiously, "Jenny, what should we do?" He really knew how to ask, he actually asked Jenny, if only she knew what to do.
Sure enough, Jenny's expression changed, "How do I know, I have never encountered this before."
"Didn't you say you wanted me to follow your arrangements?" Martin He really knows how to pick up the slack, and he is still talking about words at this time.
Before Jenny could speak, Mr. Mai immediately made up his mind, "Okay, don't say anything anymore. Tell the helmsman to stop the ship quickly. We can't go in rashly. Let's observe first."
"Shaoyu, listen. Mr. Mai, please stop the ship," Martin said, and Shaoyu turned around and ran to the control room.
A few minutes later, the engine on the boat stopped, and then Mr. Mai asked someone to drop the anchor and secure the boat. We just stopped in the middle of the sea, in a dilemma.
After the boat came to a complete stop, Martin asked again, "Mr. Mai, what should we do next?"
Mr. Mai looked at him with evil eyes and said, "What are you doing? They all asked, “Don’t you know how to read it?”
"I...we have a cooperative relationship. Didn't we say that we have to follow your arrangements? Isn't it right for me to ask?" Martin was also a little anxious, and his tone of voice was a little more serious.
"Martin, don't worry, Mr. Mai will definitely find a way. He was a little upset just now." Jenny grabbed Martin's arm and said gently.
I snorted coldly and muttered to myself, "You are so considerate. Why don't you do this to others?"
Originally, the voice of this sentence was very low, it should be No one should be able to hear it, but it happened to be heard by Li Xin next to me.
She turned to look at me and said in a cold tone, "You don't care whether someone is gentle or not. It's really troublesome."
Li Xin's vinegar smell was so sour that it made me choke when I smelled it. "What? Are you jealous?" I deliberately said in her ear. Now that I am very familiar with her, we can talk about almost anything.
She elbowed me, looked at me with contempt and said, "Dream on you."
At this moment, Mr. Mai said, "Let's wait for now and observe. The fog may dissipate after a while. When the fog dissipates, let's start again, otherwise it will be too dangerous."
The big guys also agreed, but at this moment, they didn't say anything. Jiao Ba suddenly spoke.
"We're waiting in vain. I'm afraid this fog won't clear, so we might as well set off now." His words made other people dumbfounded. Others didn't know, but we all knew in our hearts. Jiao Ba would not joke casually at critical moments.
"Can't they go away? How do you know?" Mai Lao asked in confusion.
"Guess." He answered more simply.
"Mr. Jiao Ba, stop joking at this time." Martin looked at him and said in a calm tone.
Jiao Ba said casually, "If I say it won't go away, it won't go away. If you don't believe it, let's just wait and see."
"What do you mean? This fog is very heavy. Is it possible that it will spread all the way to our side?" Chang Shan looked at him and asked.
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "This heavy fog should be like this. It won't spread any further, but it won't dissipate. This is the only way for us to pass. It seems that we can only rush through it bravely."
"Why are you so sure?" Mai Lao asked again. Jiao Ba asked Jenny to take out the nautical chart. After he opened the nautical chart, he pointed at a beautiful location on it and said, "We should be here now. Look at the beautiful painting on it. Now I understand." ”
