Chapter 1044
From this side, it was impossible to see the severity of Zhou Jianghai's wound. All we could see was the bright red blood all over his lower body.
Qi Mingyu was very anxious and was about to take a closer look.
Suddenly the boat under my feet shook.
He looked down and saw He Chengshi trying to rub the rope off his wrist, accidentally causing the boat to move.
Qi Mingyu raised his leg and stepped hard on his hand. He Chengshi twitched in pain and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
"Behave yourself!" Qi Mingyu growled, pressing the muzzle of the gun against his temple again. "If you move again, I won't mind throwing you directly into the water."
At this moment, there was a sudden "splash" sound from the sea.
Qi Mingyu looked up suddenly and saw Mu Mu emerging from the water, holding a broken hose in his hand, swimming towards the boat with a serious expression.
His heart sank instantly.
The thing I was most worried about happened.
Mu Mu climbed onto the boat, threw the hose onto the deck, and shook his head at Qi Mingyu: "The connection is directly disconnected. I can only go and stop the valve first."
Qi Mingyu said solemnly: "Be careful! I'll keep an eye on He Chengshi here."
Mu Mu responded, turned around and swam towards the cruise ship.
They still have hoses on the cruise ship, so there is still a chance to make amends.
The waves were still surging, and he was like a nimble fish, avoiding the floating debris, and quickly grabbed the hanging ladder of the cruise ship and climbed up in a few seconds.
On the deck, Zhou Shuwan was half-kneeling beside Zhou Jianghai, with the first aid kit spread out beside him and the gauze in his hand stained with blood.
"Dad!" Mu Mu ran over quickly, his eyes sweeping over Zhou Jianghai's pale face and the bloodstains beneath him. His heart instantly tightened, but he only paused for a second before urgently saying, "The hose is broken. I'll get a new one. Dad... isn't he seriously injured?"
Zhou Shuwan was wrapping the last layer of gauze around the wound. He looked up at the words, sweat on his forehead, but he remained calm. "The fragment grazed my left shoulder. It didn't damage any internal organs or blood vessels, but I lost a lot of blood."
Hearing that "there was no vital injury", Mu Mu's heart was relieved.
He didn't have time to ask any more questions and turned around and ran to the storage cabin.
The hatch was slightly deformed by the explosion. He pulled it open with force, found a spare hose from a pile of tools, grabbed two pipe wrenches, turned around and rushed back.
As soon as he ran to the edge of the deck, Zhong Tiyun came up to him and took the pipe wrench from his hand: "I'll go with you, two people, hurry up."
Mu Mu nodded, and the two of them went down the ladder into the sea together.
The cold sea water was up to my chest.
Mu Mu asked Zhong Tiyun to wait here holding one end of the hose, while he dragged the other end and dived directly down.
The newly boiled sea water was hot, and Mu Mu's fingertips were numb. He gritted his teeth and swam towards the bottom of the sea. His vision was full of turbid mud and sand, and he could only grope for the location of the hose interface based on his memory.
Finally, he reached the manhole cover on the seabed.
After lurking, he immediately used a pipe wrench to remove the broken old interface and replaced it with a new one.
Mu Mu held the pipe wrench tightly with both hands and tightened the screws one circle at a time until the last circle was tightened tightly, confirming that the interface was no longer leaking.
He then opened the valve.
When he surfaced, he could see the fuel in the hose slowly rising.
Good, they're back on track.
Zhou Shuwan had already treated his father's wound. Just as his heart was about to relax, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the sea about ten meters to the right out of the corner of his eye.
The fuel that had leaked when the hose broke was spreading along the wave marks and was ignited by the burning wooden planks left over from the torpedo explosion.
The blue tongue of fire rose half a meter high, like a twisting fire snake, drifting towards the cruise ship.
"Quickly get the foam fire extinguisher!" Zhou Shuwan shouted.
She asked her father to lie still, and she ran into the cabin, grabbed the spare fire extinguisher from the corner of the deck, and threw one to Mu Mu and Zhong Tiyun who were desperately climbing onto the deck.
This foam fire extinguisher is a ship-use model reserved before the end of the world. It can form a layer of fluoroprotein foam isolation layer on the surface of the fuel, blocking the contact between oxygen and flames. It is the most practical fire-fighting tool for oil fires at sea.
The two men ran to the side of the ship, aimed at the flames on the sea and pressed the valve. White foam gushed out and landed on the burning oil layer.
The flames shrank by half in an instant, but there were still sporadic flames struggling under the foam, spreading along the folds of the oil layer towards the cruise ship.
Mu Mu knelt at the side of the ship, leaning out with his arms raised until they were sore. He did not sit down on the deck until the last flame was covered by foam, then he collapsed and gasped for breath.
This is one of the few foam fire extinguishers they have. If the fire starts again, there will be nothing they can do.
Qi Mingyu stared at the fire on the boat, his attention completely drawn to the dancing blue flames, and the force of his fingertips pressing against He Chengshi's temple unconsciously loosened a little.
At this moment, three black shadows suddenly jumped out from the sea under the boat, holding sharpened steel pipes in their hands, and rushed towards him in a triangle.
They were He Chengshi's men, who had been hiding under the murky sea and took advantage of the chaos to come up!
"Be careful!" Zhong Tiyun on the deck immediately raised her gun and aimed it at the black shadow, her finger already on the trigger.
"Don't shoot! Mom!" Zhou Shuwan suddenly reached out to stop her, her voice trembling with urgency: "The sea over there is full of black floating objects. If a bullet penetrates them, the remaining fuel will explode!"
If the space can be opened, you can shoot directly with a bow and arrow without worrying about fuel issues.
But it’s not possible now!
They could only watch Qi Mingyu on the boat being surrounded, but they were unable to hand him a single weapon.
Qi Mingyu on the boat had no time to ask for help. The man on his left was the first to swing a steel pipe at him. He dodged sideways and kicked the other person's knee. There was a crisp "crack" sound, and the man fell into the sea with a scream.
But the dagger on the right side was already close to his chest, so he suddenly pulled He Chengshi beside him and blocked him in front of him.
He Chengshi was struggling with all his might, and at this moment he took the opportunity to throw himself back, his body flipping straight into the sea.
He calculated that Qi Mingyu would not let him drown, and he wanted to use this force to break free from his control. As long as he fell into the sea, he would have his people underwater to pick him up!
"Want to run?" Qi Mingyu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back.
At the same time, he snatched the dagger from the person behind him, turned his wrist, and accurately inserted the dagger into the opponent's temple. Blood spurted out and the person fell limp instantly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the last subordinate turned around and was about to jump into the sea. Qi Mingyu swung out the dagger, and the tip just pierced the opponent's back.
While he was groaning on the ground, he leaped up and slammed his knee into his chest. There was a dull thud, and the man vomited blood and became completely motionless.
After just a few seconds of fighting, Qi Mingyu's back was soaked in cold sweat.
He was just about to take a breath when He Chengshi, who was pressed against the hull, suddenly twisted his body like crazy, slamming his back into Qi Mingyu's wound. At the same time, he kicked the deck with his legs, trying to flip into the sea again.
"Dare you move?" Qi Mingyu endured the pain, grabbed He Chengshi's collar with his backhand, and pressed him against the railing.
