The violent storm is still continuing, and the stowaway boat has been flooded in many places. However, this ship was, as the black snakehead said, very "sturdy" and reinforced with steel plates in many places. Although it looked shabby, it would not fall apart on the spot.
And there are fully inflated tires tied around the ship, which were originally intended to increase the buoyancy of the hull in the event of severe overloading. Now it has become some kind of buffer protection, so they are not knocked apart by the nearby rocks. But staying in the boat was even worse than being outside in the rain. The violent bumps made most people vomit.
Lin Rui was no exception. He had basically vomited out all the undigested food in his stomach, and now what he vomited out was sour and salty gastric juice. He panted and sat on the side of the boat, shaking his head and saying, "I never want to take a boat again in my life."
"Not only in this life, but also in the next life, I don't want it anymore." Jiang An sealed all the electronic equipment such as the tactical computer in a waterproof bag and hugged it to his chest. His face was as pale as white paper. His physical condition is incomparable to others, and the excessive burden on his heart is likely to cause him to fall ill. He had taken several pills for this.
Except for the black snakehead, the one in the best condition right now is actually the Black Panther Gulei. Maybe black people are born with some physical qualities that are indeed stronger than Asians. He looked at the nearby uninhabited island and said in a low voice, "How long will this strong wind continue?"
Jiang An whispered, "It should be over soon. The stronger the wind, the faster it travels on the sea. This storm is heading towards the coast of Cuba, and we are far from the center of the storm. Otherwise, it would have been over long ago." We will be dead. We can hold on for five or six hours at most, and then we can set off again. The premise is that we can persist."
"Qin Fen, where is Qin Fen?!" Zhao Jianfei shouted to the cockpit in front.
"Stop shouting, he is lying there vomiting, and his head was hit just now." Peng Lefeng smiled bitterly, "How is the situation in your cabin?"
"It's not bad, at least I can still move." Zhao Jianfei sighed.
Among these people, although Lin Rui looked bruised and swollen with multiple injuries, none of them were serious. Most of them were knocked out by waves on the boat when they were out repairing antennas. The upper part of Ivan's eye socket hit the boat and opened a hole. Yelena's left elbow was severely swollen. They were all injuries caused by being hit in the cabin during strong winds and waves. Everyone else was fine and didn't suffer any major injuries.
Lin Rui felt a chill on his feet. He looked down and saw that the water in the boat had reached his ankles. Part of it was rainwater and part of it came in during big waves. "We have to find a way to drain the water, otherwise if this continues, the ship will really sink." Lin Rui sighed.
"Find some tools and scoop water out. If the boat sinks, everyone will be dead, so get up if you can move." Zhao Jianfei turned around and shouted, "Qin Fen, don't let me lie down like a pig like you anymore. Check the boat. Check the power system to see if there is any damage. If there is any damage, find a way to repair it, at least to ensure that the ship can sail to the coast of Florida."
"I understand, Boss Zhao. But, uh" Before Qin Fen could finish a few words, he lay there and vomited again. He said helplessly, "I don't want to vomit, it's so uncomfortable. I'll be fine in a moment, and I'll get to work right away." Several people in the cabin began to move around, scooping water out.
The storm lasted all night and almost stopped at dawn. Although the wind is still strong and the rain is heavy, it is much better than before. The water in the cabin was almost cleared, and Qin Fen and Peng Lefeng reported to Zhao Jianfei after inspection, "Boss, in addition to a broken diesel engine, the propeller under the boat is also seriously damaged."
"How long will it take to repair?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"There is still a spare diesel engine that can be used, and the broken one can be repaired slowly on the road. However, the propeller blades of this broken ship are basically all damaged. Even if there are spare parts, repairing it will take a whole day. The key point is There are no spare parts on this broken ship, and there is not even a decent wrench in the tool box in the engine room." Qin Fen said helplessly.
Zhao Jianfei turned to the trembling black smuggler with an ugly face, "How do you do business? You don't even have spare parts on the ship?"
Shogan smiled and said, "Okay, don't blame him. His boat is already quite good among the same industry. During the initial smuggling wave, most Cubans strapped on a few pneumatic tires Just dare to cross the Nicholas Strait. There are tire rafts and rafts with empty gasoline cans tied to them. With such a small ship, it is like a luxurious first-class cabin."
Zhao Jianfei looked helpless, but he still had to find a way to repair it, otherwise he would not be able to leave. He thought for a while and said to Jiang An, "Check our current location and see how?If there is no power system, where can it float? "
Jiang An opened the tactical computer and checked the location. Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Our luck is not bad yet. Judging from the position displayed by the GPS, we are near the Damas Islands in the middle of the Bahamas."
"Bahamas?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"The Bahamas is located opposite the southeastern coast of Florida in the United States and north of Cuba. It is the only way for stowaways." Jiang An shrugged, "From the location point of view, our location is not far from Andrews Island, where We should be able to find a place to repair the ship.¡±
"I just want to know, how far do you mean by not far?" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Without power, this boat can't go anywhere. And the wind direction is wrong, and drifting with the current will only push us back to the northern coast of Cuba. And we have just done something big, so going to the Bahamas will easily arouse suspicion."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Report the general situation and coordinates to Silver Wolf and let him try to pick us up. This is not far from the Florida Islands in the southern United States. Morningstar Company should have enough influence to do this. We'd better It may seem conservative to wait for help here, but it is the safest way. It is safer than floating to the Bahamas in this broken ship." Lin Rui thought for a while.
Jiang An nodded, "This is also a way. Boss Zhao, what do you mean?"
"What we did this time is indeed a bit big. The armed robbery and prison riot in Guantanamo not only shocked the US military, but even the whole world. I think it is safer to keep a low profile." Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "Actuary, Contact Silver Wolf and see what he says."
