As the saying goes, there is no smoke without smoke.
This is actually not true.
In the Arctic, cold winds rage all year round, but when it comes to waves... Realbakko has been driving the YAAL in the Arctic for so many years, and he has never seen any big waves.
The reason is actually very simple, because this is a sea of ice.
Ice Sea, as the name suggests, the sea surface here is covered with large tracts of floating ice. Without an icebreaker, there is no way to conduct normal navigation here.
Ice caps and glaciers, with these things, there will naturally be no big waves.
But Lelbakko missed one point.
When the sea surface is covered by ice sheets, there are basically no waves. At most, the ice floes rise and fall with the wind. The waves cannot even rub off the paint on the surface of the YAAL.
But now there is no ice cover on the sea surface.
Because of the passing of the YAAL icebreaker, the passing of the giant iceberg, and the fact that Gu Bei and Fingel drove the rubber boats and violently carved out a route, the ice caps in the nearby area have basically broken into pieces. Ice floes float on the sea.
At this time, whether it is a gust of wind or any fluctuations in the sea in the distance, huge waves will form and hit the YAAL.
This is an inevitable event.
The life of stable sailing all year round has worn away the vigilance of this former special operations team member. Perhaps his skill and strength have not deteriorated, but he is no longer a soldier, nor a sailor fighting against the ocean.
As a captain, he has to think about everyone on the ship.
What should we do now?
There is absolutely no way to escape, you can only bear it.
Carry it on the hull?
This can preserve the integrity of the YAAL to the greatest extent, but the ship will definitely capsize, and countless people will fall into the ice sea. Even if all their crews try their best to rescue, they can only save half at most.
And this does not take into account the damage to the hull. If the YAAL's hull is damaged, they will probably only be able to park on an ice sheet somewhere after a period of emergency sailing.
There are indeed some emergency survival supplies on the YAAL, but those supplies are definitely not able to sustain the needs of a ship's crew. It would take a week at the earliest for the search and rescue team to find them - and this is when the communication situation is good, and in the current electromagnetic storm According to the situation, it is conservatively estimated that they will have to wait here for a month.
It probably wouldn't take more than a month, because all of them would probably be dead before then.
Then use the bow to catch the waves?
Indeed, when encountering big waves during general navigation, using the bow of the boat to catch the waves should be the safest method, but only if there is nothing in the waves.
Even if the things in the waves this time are smaller, the YAAL can still eat and sleep stably.
But sonar detects things in the waves that are more than fifty meters long.
Whatever it was, it was over fifty meters, which was absolutely unbearable for the YAAL.
The width of the YAAL is only thirty meters, so a 20-meter storm wave on the front is no problem, but the impact of even that fifty-meter thing will break the entire YAAL in half.
They will repeat the experience of the Titanic and remain in the sea of ice forever.
There is no other choice. This is an unsolvable problem.
At this time, the tourists who evacuated from the deck and returned to the cabin also saw the white foam coming from the distance.
Among them, many tourists who had been on the YAAL said that they had never encountered such a situation, and there were also some tourists who were somewhat knowledgeable and recognized the waves in the distance at a glance, and calculated the waves through various formulas. high.
This is a violent wave with a height of more than 20 meters!
The news quickly spread among the crowd, and the crowd fell into boundless panic for a moment.
The waiters on the boat were running around, and even the group of Belarusian girls started to move. They tried to comfort the turbulent tourists around them, but the effect was not very good.
Some people in the crowd were angry, some
Some people are afraid, some are sad, some are trying to make plans. All living beings are in various states of mind for a while, and finally form a cloud of sadness.
At this time, the ship's broadcast rang, and the voice of Captain Lelbako came from inside.
"Everyone, I regret to inform you that we are about to face the biggest disaster that the YAAL has ever encountered since its voyage. Some of you must have guessed it. Yes, we are now in a storm of more than twenty meters. It is within the affected area, and at our sailing speed, we cannot escape from this area."
"Waves and icebergs are completely different things. The YAAL is the largest icebreaker in the world, but its wave-breaking ability can only be said to be average. What was even more beyond our expectation was that there was also an icebreaker with a body length of more than 50 years wrapped in the waves. A creature of rice."
"We didn't know what it was, but there was no doubt that it was our undoing."
"There are no lifeboats on the YAAL, only life jackets and lifebuoys. A waiter will distribute these equipment to you soon. Each person will have enough supplies to live on the ice sheet for three days. Next, I will direct the sailors to rush through the storm. Thao, but if we are unlucky... please take care of yourself."
The broadcast looped twice and then was cut off.
The crowd immediately exploded.
An hour ago, they were on the deck admiring the skirt of the goddess and the icebergs slowly drifting away in the distance. However, an hour later, they were about to face death.
A considerable number of people collapsed directly, while others were calmer and tried hard to think about how to survive the disaster.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The waiters rushed into the cabin with the things that needed to be distributed, and distributed the things in an orderly manner - they were all professionally trained and knew that they could not get into trouble at this time.
Someone tried to rush up to grab the supplies, but was fed a peanut by the sailor holding a gun behind the waiter.
He successfully avoided this disaster because before the storm arrived, he went to see the Lord of Hell - or maybe Satan? Who knows?
After shooting the first bird, the actions on the ship became much more orderly. After all, in the eyes of these people, even if the ship was overturned and fell into the sea, they would not necessarily die if they had life jackets and supplies for three days.
But if you make trouble now, you will really die.
They can't tell which one is good or which one is bad.
Realbacco stood on the observation deck and watched the waves in his sight spread and rise at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, even exceeding thirty meters.
There is no special name for a wave of this magnitude because there has never been a wave of this price in history.
Maybe after this time, waves of this magnitude will have names.
He smacked his lips, not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
A flash of white light lit up in the distance, dispelling the colorful skirt of the goddess in the sky.
Is it dawn yet? Is the polar night over?
No, the polar night in the Arctic doesn’t end until March.
Realbacco moved the telescope towards the glowing position, and was shocked to find that it was actually the small island obscured by the fog.
Avalon.
That was the light that came on Avalon.
No, to be precise, it was not Avalon, but the whale next to Avalon that was even bigger than Avalon. Because it was so big, Realbacco admitted it wrong at first, but the whale After a sudden stir, Lelbako recognized it clearly.
The island and the whale were still in the fog, but the thick fog could not cover the dazzling light. Realbacco adjusted the focus of the telescope to see clearly, but the walkie-talkie on his waist interrupted his action. .
"Captain, everyone is assembled, please give instructions!"
Oh, by the way, there's this thing.
Lelbakko sighed. He was not a pessimist, but this time he did not think YAAL could escape. Nature is great and cruel, and it will treat all life equally.
The light in the distance is getting brighter and brighter, and the white edge of the stormy waves
The foam seemed to reflect white light, forming a line that set off the white light spots in the distance, making it look like a sunrise.
Just think of it as the sunrise. It would be nice to see the sunrise before you die.
"Turn the helm, ten o'clock!"
"Wait a minute, Captain, there's something going on!" A frightened voice came from the intercom, "Captain! Look at the waves!"
Watch the waves? What’s so cool about the waves?
Although he was doubtful, Lelbakko still turned the angle of the telescope to look at the waves. The moment the focus came into focus, Lelbakko was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
As far as the eye can see, there are countless golden eyes and twisted and wriggling bodies. Countless slender bodies are intertwined and twisted into a rope in the waves.
The fifty-meter-long giant creature in the waves was actually made up of countless giant pythons that were twenty or thirty meters long, entangled with each other!
With their eyes open and spitting out messages, they rushed towards the YAAL with the waves.
Why does this happen? Where did these snakes come from? Why do they look like this?
Realbacco's mind was filled with questions, but unfortunately, no one could answer his question, because it was what everyone else wanted to ask.
What to do now?
Breaking the waves? Break a feather!
As long as the YAAL dares to rush into the waves, those snakes will dare to climb on the ship!
Hell, not even the last resort can be used now.
Somehow, in the critical situation, Lelbakko actually felt a sense of relief, a feeling that he could finally unload his burden.
In fact, no one knows the burden on Relbako.
As a former special operations team member, his salary level was neither high nor low. He should have been able to spend the rest of his life safely, but he still chose to work. The main reason was for his ex-wife Natasha.
Natasha was in a car accident and is now in a vegetative state. She needs a lot of medical expenses. Although she is an ex-wife, Natasha is the only one of the twenty-three women that Relbakko has been with who wants to marry him. They had children, and the two did get married, but for some reasons, they had to separate in the end.
He couldn't leave Natasha alone.
There is also Lelbakko’s sister, who is still in school and has a lot of expenses.
The burden on the entire family came down, forcing him to support the family.
But if you die like this, it would actually be pretty good.
Maybe Natasha's soul had been waiting underground to reunite with him. The reason why she remained in a vegetative state and couldn't wake up was because she lacked a soul.
Realbacco also bought accident insurance. If he died due to maritime accidents, he would receive a large compensation. Plus the money he left at home, it would be enough to support his sister's independent life.
It would be nice to die like this.
Standing on the watchtower, Lelbakko actually laughed out loud.
The light in the distance became brighter and brighter. Realbacco looked over and saw that there was no fog blocking it this time. He didn't use a telescope and could see the scene in Avalon at a glance.
He saw the light for what it was.
It was a white flame that enveloped the whale that was bigger than the island. It used the giant whale as fuel and burned quietly in the ice sea.

The giant whale rolled in pain in the ocean, and ripples were set off around it. These ripples spread in the blue sea water, spread into the ice sea, and turned into huge waves, spreading in all directions.
And the violent waves that the YAAL faced were just the smallest among the countless waves.
What a spectacle!
Relbacho said with emotion.
He was talking about the whales that could easily cause natural disasters, and he was also talking about the white flames that burned brighter and brighter in the ice sea. This phenomenon that far surpassed nature made his mind feel an unparalleled impact.
And then his eyes glanced at
Three more people appeared on the deck.
How did these three people get out of the cabin?
And he was not wearing a life jacket.
You wouldn't want to die like this, right?
You must know that the most lethal thing about waves is not the suffocating feeling of being submerged in seawater, but the powerful beating of falling from a height. Most people will probably turn into meat paste when faced with the beating of waves, so the first thing that happens when waves appear is Time, Lelbakko will notify everyone to enter the cabin to take refuge.
But now, someone actually ran back to the deck again?
And there are still three women... Lelbakko feels a bit familiar.
After looking at it carefully for a while, he remembered.
He had seen two of the three people before, namely the two girls following Gu Bei, a red-haired eldest lady and a black-haired female ninja.
I also found the names, they are both Japanese, Eri Uesugi and Sakura Yabuki.
As for the other one, he had no impression.
The moment he saw Eri Yi and Sakura, Lelbakko suddenly thought of the magical Gu Bei and Fingel. He thought of the flames burning in the sea of ice he had just seen, and a trace of excitement suddenly rose in his heart. hope.
Could it be that they also have some magical means to stop this violent wave?
He informed everyone through the intercom to stay put, and then stared at the three people on the deck.
The first one to move was a girl named Eri.
She raised her hand and opened her mouth to say something. Lelbakko couldn't hear the voice, but felt a desolation from ancient times.
Immediately afterwards, the invisible blade flew out of the violent waves, cutting the entangled group of snakes that were more than fifty meters long into pieces.
In an instant, the violent waves that covered the sky were dyed red with snake blood, making them look even more terrifying.
But this wasn't over yet, the next person to take action was the woman whom Lelbakko didn't know.
The woman took two steps forward and stretched out her hands. A white mist floated out from her hands and connected to the waves. The waves touched by the white mist instantly condensed into ice shells, and then quickly spread around.
Within a few moments, the entire wave and the seawater under the waves condensed into ice, turning into an ice wall with a height of more than thirty meters.
Relbacho stood on the watchtower and witnessed the miracle happening.
