Chapter 995: Save One, Sink One
Two rescue boats came.
After driving one from far to near, after a while, another light spot appeared in the distance.
When the first boat approached the Harvest and his boat, the words Maritime Safety Administration engraved on the second boat could already be seen.
The rescue ship did not immediately approach the two boats leaning over the reef, but first approached them to learn about the situation.
Ye Yaodong also called his father and others up, it would be time to help later.
Uncle Pei on the Harvest was also called up by the people left behind.
At this time, everyone was gathered on his boat, discussing rescue matters.
He also told everything he saw and heard, excluding the fact that he found cans in the box.
It wasn't until another rescue ship came over that they discussed the countermeasures and were ready to implement them.
It has been delayed for more than four hours, and it is already past ten o'clock in the evening. The rescue operation should be carried out sooner rather than later.
"Fortunately, the tide is rising now, not a little bit of ebbing. If the tide had been ebbing, the ship would have tilted and fallen over. It wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long. It would have sunk in two hours at most."
"We will try it later to see if both boats are safe. We arrived quickly. Fortunately, we are not too far away and we can still make it in time."
"Stop talking, hurry up, time waits for no one, the tide is rising right now, and the water will reach its highest point in an hour, so let's help each other now."
When the big guys were discussing the plan, there was no room for them to interfere, and they decided on the plan directly.
When he first inquired about the situation, Ye Yaodong opened his mouth, but then ignored him at all. He didn't even ask if they needed their cooperation, and only gave him instructions when he needed to take action.
He couldn't even tell whether they were from the province or the city. Their accents were similar, and the tones of their words were different, making it difficult to understand them clearly.
It is true that everyone was on the way back and did not run very far. Otherwise, when the tide goes out again, you will only be able to see people but not the boat.
"Comrade, come with us and discuss the rescue plan with the two boats that are in trouble over there. I will need your help later to tie the tail of the fishing boat with a cable and pull it out."
"Good job." Father Ye immediately nodded in agreement with a smile.
"We are coming one boat at a time. We have to free the fishing boats stacked on top first before we can rescue the fishing boats tilted due to the reef."
"We are all under command. We will do whatever you tell us to do."
"Okay, then we'll go back to the boat and you can follow us there together."
Those in uniform turned around and returned to their boats. When their boats started to move, Ye Yaodong had already gone to the cockpit and sailed to follow them.
Instead of standing on the side like a gangster and not being noticed, he might as well get out of the way and return to the cockpit.
Two maritime rescue boats went over to negotiate with them, and they agreed without hesitation.
And he cooperated fully to help tie the cable at the stern of the ship, and the other end was tied to the Harvest and Dongsheng.
They can indeed give instructions. If there are fishing boats around, they will instruct the fishing boats from the side. They will direct from the side. If there are no fishing boats around, they will definitely do it themselves.
But that's okay, they are doing the work, and the two fish boats will definitely have to thank them, so that they will not be wasted for four or five hours.
"Now that the tide has risen high enough, your harvesting boat will run at full speed after the mooring rope at the stern is tied, while your two fishing boats are pulling the mooring ropes behind and running at full speed. Look at my flag. Command, when I wave, do it at the same time."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
After hearing this, Ye Yaodong also returned to the cockpit from the helm.
At this time, the cargo ship below had tilted at 60 degrees, and the ship above them was not much better. Even if the bow of the ship was tilted, it was also tilting at almost 40 or 50 degrees.
"Be gentle, don't when you retreat..."
The people on the cargo ship were shouting, but soon the roar of the machine started, and no one heard the other person shouting.
The people on the fresh-collecting ship didn't care about them, they just increased their power and retreated directly.
It's just that because the fresh-carrying ship is full of cargo and its tonnage is extremely heavy, when it uses full power to retreat, it directly pushes down the cargo ship harder.
Ye Yaodong and the Harvest just obeyed the command and pulled the boat away. The harvest boat shook violently and sprayed out a large spray of water. Just when the bow of the boat retreated from the stacked cargo ship, they heard a sound on the sea. exclaimed.
The cargo ship tilted from 60 degrees to 90 degrees at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then with a bang, the cargo on the ship fell into the sea with a crash. The ship turned over and all the people were injured. Fell into the water.
After the side of the ship entered the water, it sank to the bottom of the water at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ye Yaodong's eyes widened in the cockpit, and he immediately stopped the retreating ship.
The people on several boats also opened their mouths, stared at the sea, and kept saying words of regret.
Everyone just felt sorry, probably only the people on the cargo ship had the desire to kill.
The people on the fresh harvest boat were all looking at each other there.
After a long time, the rescue team came over. Unexpectedly, only one of their boats escaped safely, but the other boat sank directly due to the pressure of his boat and backed up...
They were a little at a loss for a moment, but they were more thankful that it was their ship that was on top.
Both ships are about the same size, and both are loaded with cargo. In terms of tonnage, this fresh-harvest ship is probably heavier.
However, if their ship hadn't been on top, it might have been the cargo ship that was towing it at the moment, and it would probably have been in the same situation as them, and they would have escaped directly.
Their boats were all still tied with cables. The accident happened so suddenly and the ropes had not been untied yet, so they were still parked in place at the first moment of the accident, while two boats from the Maritime Safety Administration immediately drove over. Picked up someone.
The three boats were parked around them, watching motionlessly and talking endlessly.
"Is it going down now? Sigh, with so much cargo, it's probably the net worth of everyone on the ship, right?"
"Who says it's not? Such a big ship, and it's full of cargo, it's going to fall when it's said to fall... It's such a pity..."
"Those boxes don't seem to be particularly heavy. They are still floating on the sea. Do we want to help pick them up first?"
"Of these two boats, one hit the rocks, and the other hit again, and they were stacked on top of each other. At that time, I was thinking that if the fresh harvesting boat pulled back and pulled down, it would cause the other boat to bear more weight and capsize directly. Come to think of it, this is really the case..."
"There's nothing we can do about it. The two ships have been stuck there for several hours. We have to find a way to separate them. We can only pull the fresh-collecting ship off the cargo ship. Otherwise, when the tide goes out, both ships will have to wait. Shen..."
"It's tragic. I don't know what's in those boxes floating on the sea. I don't know if they can be soaked in water. If I can catch some of them, I can still save a little bit of them, so that I won't lose all my wealth."
"That's true. The two boats over there haven't come over yet, and they probably haven't finished fishing out the people yet. This box is floating everywhere on the sea. How about we go over there and help fish it out first? At least it won't cause too much damage to the people."
"Then let's all help?"
"Help me, help me, I can get as much as I can." Father Pei followed the helper's words without knowing why, "It's a pity, maybe it's still useful."
"Then let's go over and help fish out as much as we can. It'll be up to them how they deal with it..."
The two boats took action and left the spot.
The bow of the fresh harvest ship was partially damaged due to the hull collision. The current situation is that it is best to dock immediately for repairs. We do not dare to move at all for fear of malfunction or water seepage, so we just stay in place and watch.
Anyway, the relationship has been formed, and the relationship is very deep. If you help to fish for goods, others will not appreciate it, but will only make you more angry. Why wait to make others hate you, and lead people to the boat to make yourself uncomfortable.
It's better to keep a distance and go their separate ways as soon as they land. It will be difficult to meet them in the vast sea. What's more, if their wealth is gone, it will be even more difficult to make a comeback.
It is better to get out of the way than to meet him head-on.
Dongsheng and Harvest were chasing the boxes on the sea surface to salvage them, but they couldn't go too far. They returned after they had almost fished out.
It's not their product anyway, just try your best, and it's also a product with unknown origins and some fishy stuff.
When they returned two boats after another, the three boats over there had gathered together, and they were all scolding each other with red faces. They were about to start a fight. If the people from the Maritime Safety Administration hadn't been there, they would have probably fought to the death.
"This...what are you going to do now?"
Ye's father instinctively spoke in their local dialect, but found that no one paid attention at all. The two sides were still yelling at each other, and the Maritime Safety Administration was trying to persuade him, but no one listened to him at all. He looked at Ye Yaodong.
"What should I do? This is all over. I can't just stay here and watch them quarrel. How long will they have to quarrel?"
Ye Yaodong answered helplessly, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Ask them, after saving people, should we just dock directly to the shore, or what? We need to get a charter, and we can't just stop at sea and watch the two families scold each other."
"Let me ask."
He cleared his throat, interrupting the noisy crowd.
"Ahem, our two boats helped to fish out some of the boxes at sea just now. The ship has sunk and there is probably no way to salvage it, so do you think you should dock directly to the shore first? Let's calculate the losses. Finally, we can discuss it later? It’s useless to argue here now.”
"How many boxes did you bring back?"
"I don't know, I didn't count them. I have about a dozen here, and there shouldn't be much difference on the Harvest over there. We don't dare to run too far, for fear that you won't find them later."
"Thank you. Do you want to dock?"
"We originally planned to drag a few more nets and then dock and go home tomorrow, but since something like this happened at night, it doesn't matter if we dock early and go back."
"Okay, let's put the goods on your two boats for the time being, and we will dock together first. We will talk after we dock." The leader on the cargo boat glared at the people on the cargo boat fiercely, and pointed with his index finger, "First Let you guys go, I'll settle the score with you after we dock."
The people on the fresh food boat were a little panicked as they looked like they were trying to eat people.
"You hit the rocks first, what does it have to do with us? The rescue was also arranged by the Maritime Safety Administration..."
"No need to talk nonsense, just go back first. Please lead the comrades to take us back together. This fresh harvest boat must also go back with us. Our fishing boat sank directly, and they are jointly and severally liable. They must discuss compensation. You are also witnesses.”
"No, we just followed the command and didn't know that your ship would sink. It was you who hit the rocks yourself, so you can't blame others."
"Strike on the rocks may not necessarily cause my ship to sink. When the rescue ship comes, it is possible that my ship will be safe and sound. But your ship just hit me directly and piled on top of my ship. Of course you are responsible. Now you can rescue me." It succeeded, but our ship sank because of you, and you must pay compensation."
"Who knew something like this would happen..."
"So you have to compensate..."
…
The two parties, from the constant scolding to the current quarrel, also made the people from the Maritime Safety Administration one head bigger than the other. They had to shout that they were not allowed to quarrel, and by the way, they took both boats with them. dock.
Their two boats were also following behind, intending to dock with them.
Not to mention the reward, just the goods that fell into the sea, they helped fish them out, and they are all still on their ship.
This thing is no less than a hot potato. They can probably only safely put it on their ship and put the goods on the Maritime Safety Administration's rescue ship. Those people will definitely not dare to.
But on the way back, I also encountered some floating boxes, and everyone looked at them with painful expressions.
"Dongzi? After we dock, we will return these boxes on the deck to them?"
"if not?"
"Then... let's return it. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Return it to them after we dock. It's none of our business anyway. And those two boxes in the cabin..."
"Leave that there and don't move it. Even if the box is opened, it can't be returned to its original state. It can't be exposed."
"I also want to just stay home."
The Dongsheng had been following behind the Maritime Safety Bureau. The father and son looked at the familiar navigation route and knew that the ship was not heading towards the province, but most likely towards the city.
This shows that the two rescue ships are from the city, but I don't know where the people on the fresh-food ship and the cargo ship are from.
"The people on those cargo ships look quite fierce..."
"Of course, wouldn't you be brave if all your wealth sank into the sea? If our boat were like him, would you be angry? Are you fierce? Don't you want to smash other people's boats to pieces? If it were me, I would kill people. The heart is there.”
"That's true." Father Ye agreed and then added: "You can't talk nonsense. If someone sinks, it's someone else's. You can't talk about yourself."
"Um."
I’m so sleepy that I don’t want to write anymore. I had a dental implant yesterday, and I went to have a wedding banquet today and didn’t come back until tonight. I’ve been running back and forth. I’m so tired. Go to bed early.
