Chapter 882 Soothe the Heart
·
Ji Yi De Hai
In the ice ocean, undercurrents surge.
The atmosphere on the ship became depressed again because of the previous incident.
Whether it was the sense of oppression brought by the Columbia Navy or the way Zhang Yi executed traitors such as Cha Hae-sung, it made other members on the ship feel heavy.
Even the crew members were worried about this blind voyage.
Losing their heading meant that they had to use a sextant to judge their route as they had done centuries ago.
Unfortunately, the sunlight is not obvious now. The white sun has no temperature and can only be seen for a few hours a day.
It happened that at this time, the fin dragon that had been lurking in the deep sea showed its figure again.
It appeared in the sea several kilometers away from the Jin Feng, and its huge body hundreds of meters long was looming in the waves.
The cold and terrifying eyes were like a big light in the deep sea at night, making the crew members on duty scream in fear.
Zhang Yi suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep, and then arrived on the deck in an instant.
But when he appeared, the fin dragon immediately sensed it and dived into the seabed without looking back.
Zhang Yi frowned. This thing was too annoying. Zhang Yi didn't have the ability or equipment to dive into the deep sea, so there was really nothing he could do with it.
But now, they are on the road to escape and cannot turn on the sonar.
It is impossible to detect it in the deep sea in advance.
This beast is very smart. It is aware of the situation of the Jin Feng, so it has begun to act unscrupulously recently.
It is very patient, waiting for something to happen to the Jin Feng or for the people on it to be in poor condition before taking action.
Zhang Yi returned to the deck and shouted: "Lao Tian!"
He didn't get a response from Lao Tian. When he turned around, he saw that Lao Tian was leading several crew members who had just gotten up to comfort the frightened crew member on duty.
Without sonar feedback, he had no warning about the sudden appearance of the fin dragon.
Who wouldn't be frightened to suddenly see this titan-like monster on the sea in the middle of the night?
Zhang Yi walked into the control room. The crew member had been taking deep breaths and even put on an oxygen mask. It took a long time to calm down.
"Old Tian."
Zhang Yi shouted again. Only then did Lao Tian hear Zhang Yi calling him, and he quickly stood up and walked over.
"Mr. Zhang."
Lao Tian also had a worried look on his face. In recent days, he had a few more wrinkles on his face.
He is obviously not yet 50 years old, but the sea breeze blowing all year round makes him look like an old man in his 60s.
"Check the weapons, especially the depth charges, to make sure they can be released as soon as possible."
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Yi thought for a while and raised his voice:
"Also tell them that the district has sent people to pick us up."
There was a calm smile on his face: "Don't worry too much, the navy of the East China Sea Region has been dispatched, and the navy of Columbia does not dare to confront us head-on in this territory."
"We just need to get through this for a while and then we can go home."
If Zhang Yi had followed his previous temperament, he would not have explained so much to them.
But right now, morale on the ship was low and they needed encouragement.
Sure enough, after everyone heard Zhang Yi's words, their eyes showed hope.
"Then when can they come over?"
"It's easy for us to sail aimlessly like this and have direction deviations. In fact... it's hard to say which day we will be able to sail to the designated location."
The crew members couldn't help but express their doubts.
"It won't take long. Even if you stay on the ship, I will protect your safety, and I will have supplies that you can't use up in your lifetime. What do you have to worry about?"
"We are all veteran crew members, so don't put a psychological burden on yourself all day long. It's obviously not a big problem, but it's your own heart that collapsed first."
"In that case, it wouldn't be interesting."
After Zhang Yi's guidance, the crew's mentality improved a lot.
Although they were all veteran sailors, they sailed at sea for more than three consecutive months and only landed on Ganliu Island for half a day.
Anyone who often sails knows that this is a test of one's will.
After Zhang Yi appeased everyone, he called Lao Tian aside alone.
"Can you determine where we are now?"
Hearing this, Lao Tian looked a little embarrassed.
"Although there are navigation charts, we can only judge the approximate location. And... we can't guarantee that it is correct."
This is no longer the Age of Discovery.
Even veteran sailors are highly dependent on electronic devices.
It is really difficult to deal with the sudden loss of navigation instruments and rely only on naked eyes, sextant and experience.
"It's okay. If we get it wrong, we'll try more. At least we have to make sure not to get involved in the Colombian Navy."
Lao Tian hurriedly said: "You can rest assured about this. They want to find us now, but they are also looking for a needle in a haystack."
If it were so easy to find a ship with all electronic communications turned off, there wouldn't be so many undiscoverable shipwrecks every year.
"that is……"
Lao Tian hesitated to speak.
Zhang Yi glanced at him: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly!"
Lao Tian smiled bitterly and said: "The mood of the crew has been really low recently. It won't be good if it continues like this."
"I know this, is there any way to solve it?"
Zhang Yi asked.
Lao Tian thought for a while and said: "Actually, the best ways to relieve sorrow are just those kinds of things. Cigarettes, alcohol, women and gambling."
Alcohol has always been prohibited on board the ship, Zhang Yi personally issued the order.
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Okay, starting from today, I will allow you to drink on the ship. I will provide the drinks, but you must give me a guarantee that the personnel on duty must not drink!"
The ship was in a semi-adrift state anyway, so it wouldn't make much difference to let the crew relax.
"As for other aspects, you can make up your own mind. Regarding women...or young masters, people from the Yanliu Group should not touch them. There are some in the bottom cabin."
"You can use supplies in exchange, but don't force them like pigs or dogs."
Lao Tian hurriedly said: "With your order, we will definitely act according to the rules!"
"In addition, I have another request. The area we are in now should be close to the southern sea, so there must be some islands around it."
"Everyone has not been ashore for a long time. If we can let them go ashore to rest, it may be more beneficial to the next voyage."
Lao Tian carefully observed the changes in Zhang Yi's expression.
After Zhang Yi heard the suggestion, he was indeed a little moved.
After all, humans are land animals. After staying at sea for a long time, they will inevitably want to return to land.
The feeling of having your feet on solid ground will give you a sense of solid psychological comfort.
"If you can find a safer land, you can consider landing and rest."
Zhang Yi nodded and agreed to Lao Tian's proposal.
