Chapter 141

What's going on?

what is going on?

Everyone felt that this incident was extremely abnormal. The people who went for help twice seemed to disappear. If you say that those people were selfish and ran back alone without looking for help, it would not make sense. After all, there were four of them. Everyone belongs to the captain.

My trusted subordinates would not do such a thing, and two passengers also went to find support. What happened?

For a moment, everyone was really at their wits' end.

They have been at sea for more than seven days.

The food stored on the ship has long been gone, and now everything they eat is fish and algae salvaged from the sea. No one dislikes anything. Being able to fill their stomachs at this moment is the happiest thing in the world.

There are about two hundred people on the passenger ship. This is considered a small passenger ship. Some large passenger ships can carry thousands of people at a time. However, these passenger ships are just ordinary passenger ships.

There are also those kind of sea-going ships that are said to be able to carry tens of thousands of people at a time.

There are more than two hundred people, and just the food they need every day is enough to give the captain a headache.

Fortunately, there were some strong passengers on the boat. After the captain paid some price, those people went to catch fish. For those who have strength, it is very easy to just go to the sea to catch some fish.

You can get paid and get a good reputation, so why not do it.

Even if the situation of more than two hundred people has stabilized, and everyone understands their current situation, no one will complain anymore.

However, if time goes by, I'm afraid something will go wrong.

The captain frowned in the cab. This time he went to sea, the ship really capsized in the gutter.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Who would want this to happen? Let’s blame him for his misfortune.

We still had to think of a solution. Two small boats were sent out to ask for help, but they were nowhere to be found and there was no news. I was afraid that something happened at sea and there was no hope of rescue.

It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself.

The captain thought for a long time, but still had no idea what to do. He asked the crew beside him: "Is there still no reply from the passing ships?"

Crew: "No, twelve hours a day, every half hour, I will send out a distress signal. It has been eight days and I have not received any reply."

The captain was silent.

It's really a strange thing. There has been no passing passenger ship for eight days?

Just kidding, those who were traveling with him also went out to sea at least every three to four days. It was so weird that the captain almost went crazy. What was going on?

But no one could answer him.

At noon, the weather was clear, the sky was blue, cloudless, the wind was sunny, and the waves on the sea reflected the sunlight.

Everyone was basking in the sun on the deck. Some were worried, some were anxious, and some were relieved and in a very good mood.

"I think it's better for us to find that island. I thought about it carefully, and it should take up to half an hour to find the island, assuming the direction is correct."

"Stop dreaming. It's just a mirage. Wouldn't it be better to just wait for rescue?"

"Yes, wouldn't it be nice to just wait for death in peace?"

The person who originally proposed this suggestion was about to fight back when he heard the rebuttal from the last person. Suddenly he was stunned. It was not quite right. Then he carefully thought about the meaning of the last person's words. It turned out that... it was a friendly force.

Ah, I almost gave the person who spoke the last word a grand burial, shame on me.

The man stepped back from the brink, changed his rhetoric, and said, "Waiting to die? Then why don't you just stop wasting food?"

It seems that after these people stayed on the ship for a long time, they couldn't help but feel a little irritable. Most of them thought that no matter what happened, they couldn't just sit back and wait for death.

The captain watched the changes quietly, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

The two sides immediately began to attack each other, which became more and more fierce.

On the positive side, those who agree to save themselves clearly have the upper hand; there are not many people on the opposing side, and most of them are die-hard conservatives.

Someone on the positive side said: "How about voting, the minority obeys the majority?"

The opponent was arrogant and retorted: "Can this be solved by voting? It's like you want to demolish my house and take away my children. Do you want everyone to vote together? What kind of gangster logic is this?!"

Positive: "Unreasonable and stubborn."

Opponent: "It's much better than you being so unreasonable."

"..."

What follows is some nutritious sophistry, with both sides insisting on their own opinions and refusing to admit defeat.

The debate became more and more intense, and there was a sense of escalation. The captain spoke up at the right time.

Captain: "Everyone, there is no point in continuing like this."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Someone is eyeing the captain, and the war is about to affect the captain.

Captain: "Oh? I support finding the island."

"No! Captain, don't worry about the lives of all of us just because there are so many of them."

"Those people have ulterior motives. Maybe they want to use this as an excuse to find the island's treasure."

Because of the outlying island auction, some overseas myths and rumors are flying all over the world, especially the common customs of outlying islands. Everyone can tell stories and tell them in a realistic way. It is normal for some young people to be confused.

"The captain is wise!"

"Support Captain."

Both sides began to exert their strength on the captain again, trying to find a breakthrough point here.

Once the captain has made his decision, he will not change it. No matter how fancy others say it, it will not work.

The captain continued: "However, the details need to be discussed carefully."

On the other hand, when they see that they can't do anything, they all fall apart, like eggplants beaten by frost, wilting.

The crowd in Zhengfang was excited and had a lively discussion.

"We definitely can't go all of them. It's best to send one or two people to take the lead."

"Captain, do we still have a boat?" This man knew that there was no boat, so he asked more, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

The captain shook his head.

"If the captain can say it's not there, then it's definitely gone. There's no need to think about it anymore."

"Small boat, this is not a problem...we can build another simple boat."

"Huh? You know how?...Ah no, that's not what I meant. What I mean is that even if you don't know how to do it, with so many people here, can't it be done?" The man originally wanted to ask a question, but then thought about it, more than two hundred people

How come people can't build a boat? Even if they don't know how, the members on the boat must know a little bit.

"Yes! Nothing is difficult in this world, only those who are willing can do it."

The captain listened quietly and openly eavesdropped on the opinions. Seeing that everyone had almost reached the point of discussion, he said: "Then let's build a simple boat first. As for materials, first remove the useless parts of the passenger ship and add spare ones."
