"Monster?"

A group of idle sailors suddenly crowded over. They stood beside Connie and looked at the sea in the distance.

Generally speaking, people can't see through the sea when standing on the ship. Because of the refraction of light and other reasons, people can't see under the sea.

But for things above the sea, they will be more conspicuous, which is like a piece of silver sparkling water with a black block without light reflection.

People saw it all at once, and some boys shouted and guessed what it was.

"Maybe a whale..."

"Maybe it's a Mola..."

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

The laughter and laughter of the sailors around disappeared in an instant. Everyone was looking at Connie with a look of "do you know what you're talking about". The arc of their collapsed mouth and clenched fists made Connie realize that he had said the wrong thing.

"Hey, I mean..."

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

The explosion is not like the sky burning light in the film. We can only see a huge spray suddenly blooming under the waterline. There is black smoke in the spray. Then the armed escort ship was directly overturned, head down and feet up, and began to sink slowly.

Those armed men who fell into the water swam frantically to other places. When the ship was silent, it would lead to a turbulent current. If they were unlucky, they would be coerced to the bottom of the sea by this suction.

Fortunately, the ship just capsized, and it took some time to sink, enough for them to escape from the deadly area.

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

The federals are not a nation with "seed", at least they don't have such "seed ①". When they face this situation almost like war, the only thing they can do is to escape 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 ship must meet twice the number of people on board.

This is a cargo ship with a small number of nuclear passengers, so only one lifeboat is hung on both sides of the hull.

When Connie ran to the other side of the ship's side, he looked back and inadvertently saw something like a swordfish under the sea crashing towards the cargo ship

A loud bang, in fact, more of it was the whine when the metal was twisted. When the water spray almost covered the sky fell, the hull began to tilt, a hole was blown out at the bottom of the boat, the sea water poured in quickly, and the ears were full of alarms

At the time of the explosion, the sailors were knocked down on the deck. After waiting for a few seconds, they got up, pinched their noses and jumped into the water.

Connie also jumped into the water with everyone, followed by the abusive captain and first mate. Almost everyone got on board, except those in the boiler room.

They rowed the lifeboat far together and watched the cargo ship capsize a little. There was a very complex expression on everyone's face.

The very embarrassed captain patted the young man on the shoulder and smiled, "this is not bad news, at least for us."

Everyone's eyes focused on him, and he also responded to everyone with his eyes, "look, twice, the first time we met a robber, the second time we met this..." he didn't know how to describe it, "but we survived."

"This is the best side. We have faced the worst situation twice, but now we have survived. There is nothing more exciting than this. We narrowly escaped death."

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

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

Still dizzy, Connie suddenly asked, "won't that submarine attack us?"

The originally harmonious atmosphere dropped to the freezing point in an instant. The captain clenched his fist. Considering that it was not the time to beat people, he forced to smile and said, "according to international conventions, even belligerents can't massacre civilians..."

Finally, these people gathered together with the people who escaped from the armed escort ship, and with the help of the simple North needle around the captain's neck, they rowed hard towards the coast of Amelia.

More than a day later, everyone collapsed, and the emergence of the coastline cheered up some desperate people again.

Yes, despair. It took only one day from the excitement of survival to despair.

Behaviorists once did it for a time. They built two channels, one dark and invisible, and the other full of light.

They divided the participants into two pairs, one from the channel where they could not see their fingers, and the other from the channel full of light.

The length of the two channels is the same without any obstacles. As long as you stride forward, you can get out of the channel in 15 minutes.

However, only one of all participants in the experiment walked out of the invisible channel, and all others failed. On the contrary, all those who took the bright channel finally came out.

Seeing and not seeing can give people two extreme feedback, just like these sailors floating on the sea.

They rowed hard, but they never saw the coastline. From the excitement at the beginning to depression, numbness and even despair, in fact, it won't take much time. As long as their efforts can't see hope, they will despair.

Not to mention that the lack of fresh water and food will exacerbate people's emotional decline. In fact, it is a great thing that these people have not had emotional collapse until now.

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

And this just proves the role of collective power.

A few hours later, these people finally landed and found the company's receiver in the hotel in the port.

"I thought you would come earlier. Did you encounter the storm?", the face of the speaker was... Light sarcasm. The captain was very embarrassed. He was wet by the sea and then exposed to the sun. His face was black and red, and his neck was skinned. He was embarrassed. He didn't look much better than the locals.

So this sentence seems to be asking whether the other party is in such a mess because of the storm. In fact, it is just ridicule.

The captain took out his pipe, impolitely opened the other party's cigarette box on the tea table, took out two cigarette rolls, broke them and stuffed them in, and used the other party's lighter.

He looked at the other party's unhappy face, took two breaths and slowly spit out. It seemed that the whole person had been sublimated and completed his new life at this moment.

He said lightly, "the ship sank, along with our goods!"

……

At half past eleven, it was time to go to sleep. Mr. waldrick in his pajamas had just come to a friendly game with his wife. When he was ready to go to bed contentedly, the telephone rang and disturbed him.

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

"What happened?", he put his shoulder against the microphone, took out a solid color and lit it. He knew he would disturb his phone at this time. It was absolutely no joke.

There is a particularly clear boundary between the public and private in the Federation. They don't want to be disturbed as long as they exceed the last working time and enter private time.

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

At this time, the phone doesn't look like a prank. Solid smoke particles roll in his mouth. Nicotine is absorbed through the mucosa and begins to take effect quickly. He is ready, "I hope it's not a bad thing."

The receiver was silent for two seconds, and the voice was a little heavy. "Our ship sank." maybe it was not described in detail. The person at the other end of the phone added, "the ship to ammeria sank, together with our goods."

It took more than ten seconds for Mr. waldrick to react, "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, participate in this teleconference. The number is..."

Mr. waldrick thought, "I'll come to the company and help me prepare the car."

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

He spoke highly of Lynch. If the friendship between the military and him has reached the point where they can attack their own merchant ships, it is necessary to reassess the value of Lynch.

Half an hour later, Mr. waldrick appeared in the board meeting hall in clothes and shoes. At this time, many people had come, and some were not in bupayne because of the incident, but also joined the teleconference.

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

"I asked the shipping company just now. If we want to salvage our ship, our cost will be about 10 million.", the chairman of the board of directors presses his temple. Now he has a headache.

"There are other losses. This time we reimbursed another 20 million, gentlemen, 20 million!"

"Plus the 16 million we lost before, we lost so much without doing anything. Who can tell me how much we will lose next?"

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

Waldrick sat aside with a serious expression, but his eyes were full of an elusive smile. He had almost won the game.
