Because if you walk around the sea south of Tierra del Fuego, you will be exposed to the roaring west wind without any cover. The storm is like the roar of hell, and the sea is the intersection of the two oceans.

This sea area is still a shallow sea covered with reefs. Under the strong wind and waves, sailboats can easily get stuck and hit the reefs and have shipwrecks.

In another time and space, more than 500 ships sank in this sea area, and more than 20,000 people were buried at the bottom of the sea. The Bermuda Triangle, known as the Devil's Land, is simply a younger brother compared to this place.

But forcing the Strait of Magellan will only lead to annihilation.

As a captain, he always has to "take the least of both evils", so Lin Feng chose to challenge nature!

After the fleet left the Strait of Magellan, it sailed to the southeast with the wind. Under the whistling west wind, the ship speed reached a terrifying twenty-five knots. It took only one day to complete the 400-kilometer voyage and arrived at the northeastern corner of Tierra Tierra.

However, the fleet did not turn west, but turned to the southwest to stay away from Tierra del Fuego as much as possible. Lin Feng would rather go around in circles and sail more in the storm of the storm, and avoid hitting the dense reef islands along the coast of Tierra del Fuego to avoid ships and people being killed.

From the map, you can walk a mere 400 kilometers to cross Tierra del Fuego and enter the South Pacific Ocean.

However, the next voyage was like suddenly falling into hell.

Not long after walking, the strong wind on the sea suddenly increased without warning, and then the heavy rain poured down, lightning ripped the sky with its teeth and claws, and the thunder was completely covered by the sound of wind and waves. The sky and the earth were pitch black, and it was impossible to tell whether it was going forward or backward.

The huge waves at the intersection of the two oceans, like the giant arm of the sea god, threw up this fleet of overestimating one's own ability and caught it. This time, even a giant ship like Liu Daxia could not hold it up and was thrown away like leaves.

The waves more than ten meters high kept washing the deck, sweeping all items that were not firmly fixed into the sea. At this time, the crew members did not dare to stand on the deck at all, and they all shrank in the cabin. They did not dare to sleep in the hammock, otherwise they would be thrown on the board, and their heads would be broken and blood would be light.

In order to avoid injury, the crew could only tie themselves to the horizontal railing of the hammock in the cabin with ropes, and then, just like a big loop in later generations, their bodies were like dolls, shaking up and down with the hull.

The six sailboats were constantly being pushed into the air by huge waves and fell into the wave vortex. The solid hull was shaken and squeaked, and even showed less obvious deformation, let alone the people inside.

After more than two years of strong winds and waves, the crew originally felt that they would not be seasick no matter what the situation was. At this time, they vomited out all the bitter gallbladder.

Every time the boat lands, they will feel the dying feeling of overturning and sinking to the bottom of the sea. The young man with a fragile spirit fainted. Even the sailor who was the least afraid of death couldn't help but mutter that he was about to die...

Even Xue Lang broke his skills and vomited himself all over, crying and repenting to the Buddha:

"Buddha, I was wrong. I went to brothels to do art, I was just lustful or sexy. If I didn't really come, I didn't break the precepts. I was just deceiving myself. I just like not to follow the ordinary path..."

In the boundless fear, he asked the Buddha for forgiveness again and again, swearing that if he could step on land, he would never go to sea again, not go to brothels, not be frugal. Be a good monk who abides by the precepts, and then rely on masturbation from now on...

Oh no, I don’t even slap, I’m holding it in! I swear!

At night, the temperature dropped sharply below zero, and the storm instantly turned into a blizzard.

The strong wind could blow through the boat boards, and the boat quickly turned into an ice hole. The crew members wore fur coats or fur vests, and were shivering with all blankets when they were covered with cold, so they could only hold them together and rely on their body temperature to keep warm.

Zhang Xiaojing also had a simple meaning, and the little black girl was also wrapped in a quilt and snuggled up together, and there were two small capybara in the quilt.

This guy has become completely petted...

"Wuwu, where are we here, Miss? How long will it take to go?" Qianyi asked crying.

Zhang Xiaojing was tortured by seasickness and could not stand up. She looked pale, holding a compass and clock in her hand, and smiled weakly: "I've been heading south..."

"Ah?" Xiao Heimei and Qianyi exclaimed, "Then where will we get scratched?"

"Ananpole, if you are lucky, you can even see penguins." Zhang Xiaojing said as if she was a little accepting her fate.

After saying that, she was secretly ashamed that she could no longer hold on, but Lin Feng was still standing at her post in the helm room.

In the helm room, Lin Feng held the handrail tightly at the table with both hands, stared at the compass above, and whispered to the helmsmen, constantly asking them to correct their course.

As the captain, others can fall down, but she cannot. She must lead the fleet out of this sea of ​​death!

Under the strong wind, I can’t help myself, but I still have to adjust the direction within my ability and insist on moving forward.

Although she had known that the haunted sea area was so terrible, she would have been leaning on the buttocks of the island and leaning on the Spaniards before she could speak. But now it was too late to say anything, so she could only move forward bravely!

Just as Lin Feng was fully focused on fighting the strong wind and waves, the door of the helmroom suddenly opened, and Ma Yishan stumbled in and said loudly: "Captain, Tianbao signaled that they had a serious leak!"

"What?!" Lin Feng's head buzzed, and the situation she was most worried about happened.

She quickly put on the rain poncho and Ma Yishan to support each other and went out of the helm room. She looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, she saw three lights shaking in the wind two or three hundred meters behind her.

The Tianbao is the captive Spanish sailboat, and the ship condition is not bad at all. Unfortunately, there are three congenital shortcomings: one is that the too high stern tower leads to difficulty in steering; the other is that the Western full rigging sailing equipment requires too many people and has to climb onto the mast to operate. Such weather is simply murder.

Third, there is no watertight cabin design. If the water leakage cannot be blocked, the entire ship will be in danger of being destroyed.

In fact, the goods on the Tianbao number have been sold out in Brazil, and the gold and silver have also been moved to Liu Daxia.

Zhang Xiaojing advocated selling the Tianbao, but firstly, the Portuguese did not dare to collect Spanish warships, and secondly, the crew members were reluctant to leave such a good ship and wanted to drive it back to present it to Mr. Zhao.

Lin Feng also felt that the war with Spain was about to begin, and the group was short of large warships. If you drove the Tianbao back and modified it, it would be a very good firepower platform.

With a moment of thought, she left the boat.

There was really a problem...

It’s not scary that the ship sank. The problem is that there are still 120 crew members on the ship!

At least fifty crew members can start the Tianbao. The crew must work in two shifts, and there are twenty Marines serving as guards.

"Old Ma, hold a signal and order them to abandon the ship immediately to transfer!" Without even taking care of self-blame, Lin Feng immediately made a decision: "I ring the alarm bell, and all ships are entering a life-saving state!"

"Okay!" Ma Yishan quickly conveyed the order.

Soon, the signalman braved the strong wind and climbed up the mast and hung up two boat lights, one red and one yellow.

At the same time, the alarm bells on the Liu Daxia were heard!

Soon, the Wenzhou, Taizhou, Fuzhou and Gaoyouhu numbers that saw the signal also sounded the alarm bell one after another.

The crew members who were already breathless and hugged each other and jumped up in a conditioned manner when they heard the alarm ringtone, quickly put on the red life jacket filled with cork, and then rushed out of the cabin.

When they learned that the Tianbao was about to sink, the crew members who had a stress reaction suddenly stopped being seasick. They immediately worked together to control the sail cable to get as close to the Tianbao as possible.

On the Tianbao, the crew also came to the deck wearing life jackets and first dropped lifeboats into the water.

Those small boats were instantly overturned by huge waves.

But the crew still jumped into the raging waves like dumplings, grabbed the edge of the boat, and turned it over with all their might. Then they climbed up hard, took off the oars buckled in the cabin, and inserted them into the buckle on the edge of the boat, balancing the boat like water strands.

Seeing a boat full, the police officer on the Tianbao cut off the tether of a boat so that they could row towards the nearest rescue ship.

The strong winds, huge waves and blizzards made rescue particularly difficult. However, the rescue crew members still focused on saving every comrade on the ship with extremely high professional qualities and fearless spirit.

Seeing a boat approaching, they dropped all the lifebuoys tied with cables. The crew members on the boat jumped into the water and swam to the nearest lifebuoy and grabbed it tightly.

The people on the boat worked together to pull the man up, like fishing for tuna, quickly lifted the man onto the boat and pulled it to the deck. Then he pulled down another one...

As the waves were bumpy, rescue crew members were thrown off the boat from time to time and fell into the water, becoming the targets of waiting for rescue.

However, the people on the boat were not affected at all, and they only focused on one comrade after another.

The rescue lasted for more than an hour, and the crew of the Tianbao were rescued.

On the Tianbao, the crew members were basically off the ship, leaving only the captain, the first lieutenant and a few main police officers.

They conducted the last check on the boat to see if any crew members had no time to escape due to injuries, coma or other reasons.

In the second-floor cabin where water had already begun to seep, a crew member who had fainted was found. The captain quickly carried him on his back, stumbled and rushed towards the stairs, and the person next to him pulled up and down, and tried his best to get the two of them onto the deck.

They were about to stand up and rushed towards the last lifeboat, but they heard a sudden scream of unison on the adjacent boat!

I saw a huge wave that was twice as tall as the hull and hit the already tilted hull with an extremely terrifying force...

Everyone on the deck was also thrown into the sea.

"Swim away!" the crew shouted heart-wrenchingly: "The ship is about to overturn!"

I saw the huge figure of Tianbao, in an irreversible posture, which seemed slow, but in fact it quickly capsized on the sea surface, splashing huge water columns!

Several people who fell into the water swam desperately, and a few who seemed to faint, were motionless and were directly patted under the boat, obviously they couldn't survive...

The crew members had no time to be sad, they had to hurry up and continue to rescue the survivors.

In the cold sea water, the human body will soon lose its temperature...
Chapter completed!
