C1773 Disaster Is Coming
These sailors were all very experienced, and soon the sails were pulled up, and then the wind blew, and the sails slowly deviated from their course.1
"I feel that this place is very strange. Let's leave this place first and plan things out after we take a break." Evelynn said.
Right at this moment, they suddenly heard a muffled sound from within the thick fog. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a continuous flash of light accompanied by countless muffled sounds, and at this moment, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, connecting from the clouds all the way to the sea. The bolt of lightning travelled several meters above the sea, passing underneath Lin Fan and the others, illuminating the sea below.
"It's Lei Bao." Evelynn swallowed her saliva and said.
"Thunderstorm?"
"Right, the thunderstorms on the sea are usually accompanied by storms. The bigger the thunderstorm, the more powerful the storm. There will definitely be a strong one later on." Evelynn said.
As he spoke, the sky was already filled with dark clouds and the visibility was very low. Very soon, the wind began to blow, causing the waves to slowly rise up. The boat swayed on the sea while raindrops the size of beans rained down.
"Lulu, hurry up and get inside. We need to lower the sails. If the wind is too strong, it will overturn our boat." Evelynn said, then shouted at the crew.
"Let's go." Yang Tao quickly pulled Liu Lu and ran towards the cabin, at this time the boat was shaking very badly, and it was impossible for people to walk normally on it, Yang Tao was fine, but Liu Lu had to fall down a few times. Thanks to Yang Tao's help, when they arrived at Shipyard, Yang Tao pushed Liu Lu back into the room and said.
"Stay in your room and don't come out. Find a sturdy place to support yourself."
"What about you?"
"I'm going out to help. At least I'm still a man, so if I can help, I'll have to help. It's alright, you can rest assured." Then, he closed the door and came to the deck. At this moment, Evelynn was directing the crew to put down the sail.
However, the crew was no better off than they were. They couldn't even stand, let alone put down the sails.
"What's the situation now?" Yang Tao found Evelynn and asked.
"Why don't you enter the cabin? It's very dangerous here." Evelynn was busy untying a rope.
"I'm here to help. I'm a man, and I don't think I'm any worse than your crew." Yang Tao said.
"Alright, go untie the rope over there. We're stuck here, and the sails won't be able to come down." Evelynn didn't have the time to say so much.
In the rain, Yang Tao's clothes were completely soaked. Feeling that he was getting in the way, he directly took off his shirt. Evelynn looked at him and thought to herself, "This guy's figure is really good. No wonder he's so good at fighting."
Evelynn then signaled to put down the ship. As the crew members were about to pull the ropes, a wave rose several meters above the sea, heading straight for the ship.
It was Yang Tao's first time seeing such a big wave. He quickly laid on the deck and held onto a rope, which was why he wasn't washed away.
Actually, other people didn't have as much luck as Yang Tao. The two people who tried to pull the sails had already disappeared, and it was very possible that they were swept away by the waves.
Evelynn and Yang Tao looked at each other, but didn't think too much. The two of them got up and ran over. The two of them grabbed the sail ropes and tried to pull them, but they couldn't.
"Maybe the pulley above us is broken. We have to quickly lower the sails or the next wave will overturn the ship." Evelynn said.
