First mate is not easy

Raymond's voice pulled Lando back from the shock, and when he subconsciously turned his head to express his inner joy and excitement, suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky behind him!

The earth-shattering thunder almost deafened everyone's ears, and the ship began to vibrate with a terrible "squeak" sound. Lando staggered back a step, frowned fiercely and raised his hands to cover his ears. , Another flash of lightning flashed across the already darkened sky. The bright lightning almost illuminated the entire dark sky like daytime——the light instantly illuminated the entire dim first officer's lounge. After the trance, Lando tried to Mastering the balance of the body in the swaying hull, while swaying, I caught a glimpse of the man standing not far away from him. For some reason, those azure blue pupils were extremely bright under the light of thunder and lightning, and it was breathtaking. !

And the man's face...

The pupils shrank slightly, and the heart skipped a beat. At this moment, thunder resounded in the sky again. This time, the sound seemed to tear the sky alive!

"Raymond?"

Regardless of the fact that the compass that was originally placed on the edge of the table fell to the ground due to the shaking and tilting of the ship, Lando threw himself at Raymond who was standing not far from him. When the latter held him firmly with open arms, However, he raised his hand in a panic and touched the man's face. After groping around, the movement of his hand stopped, and he raised his head to stare at the man's cheek. In one breath——

"What?" Raymond's voice sounded very calm.

"It's nothing." Lando lowered his hands, supported Raymond's shoulders to stand firm, and said in an uncertain voice, "Maybe I was too nervous just now, and I was a little confused..."

Lando didn't tell the truth that at the moment when the lightning illuminated the cabin just now, he not only saw Raymond's bright and almost abnormal pupils, but at the same time, he seemed to see Raymond's face again. A scale-like thing grew again... That thing had also appeared when the misty mermaid touched him last time, and then disappeared quickly.

Lando repeatedly reassured himself that it was definitely an illusion produced by his vertigo and worry.

At this moment, the situation did not allow him to think too much. After several consecutive thunderclaps, the shaking of the ship became more violent, and it became more disturbing. The sailors on the deck were shocked from the initial Zhong came back to their senses, and when they realized what they seemed to be doing, they received a bad news from the cockpit: the rudder was losing control, approaching the huge sea-eye vortex at an alarming speed!

Lando let go of Raymond, leaned out half of his body from the window, and looked out. Sure enough, he saw that the entire Schitz was gradually losing control. At this time, the entire ship had turned from 180 degrees to [-] degrees. Like a piece of insignificant driftwood in a stormy sea, it wobbles along the push of the sea and moves towards the sea eye——

The hull made a terrible groan from the beating of the huge waves.

There was an icy torrential rain in the sky, and the bean-sized raindrops fell on the person's body, hitting the person's face with pain.

"Anchor, anchor!"

"Do you want to unload? Boss Raymond?"

"What are you thinking? The hull is out of control, and it's too late to increase the weight. Do you think you can drive out of the vortex range by unloading the weight? We are already approaching!"

"Damn it! But we are not heavy enough! The boat will capsize before reaching the whirlpool!"

The sailors were roaring and discussing with each other. Fear was clearly written on everyone's face. When Lando retracted his head back, his face was a little pale. In the next second, he felt his chin being squeezed. Only some rough hands pinched it, and picked it up a little, he was forced to look at the man's calm blue eyes: "Still in a daze? Are you going to let all the people on the Schitz be buried with us?" ?”

"..."

Lando was silent for a few seconds. Just when Raymond and Dill thought he had gone dumbfounded, the black-haired young man suddenly raised his hand and slapped the hand on his chin away—the next second, he had already He jumped up to the window with agility, and leaned half of his body out. The violent wind and rain outside instantly blew his hair into a mess. The black-haired young man grasped the frame of the window with both hands, and made a gesture of preparing to jump. At the same time, he turned back. He turned his head and roared in Dill's direction: "Little Jieluo, get your people ready to join the boat!"

After saying that, without waiting for the people in the cabin to answer, he opened his body and jumped down like a giant bird - he suddenly disappeared from sight, and the next second, in the rain, a slender black figure appeared Already grabbing the reins and swinging swiftly from the Shiats in the direction of the Mora—

Dill's eyes widened slightly, but Raymond smiled silently.

He seemed very satisfied with the answer he heard, lazily said "um", turned his head to look at Dill who was standing behind them in a daze: "Did you hear that? If you don't want to be buried in the bottom of the sea with the Shitz, let you His men dropped anchor together and prepared to join the ship."

even ship.

As the name implies, all the ships are tightly connected together with special metal connectors, and the weight of the ships is interlocked to increase the weight of the ships. In many naval battles, the commander will use the ship to make the hull the strongest. However, at this moment when a single ship is anchored and can't grab the hull at all, even the ship is indeed the only and best choice.

It has to be said that someone can always surprise people at critical moments.

After Lando left, Raymond also turned around and left the cabin without hesitation to prepare for the lower deck to personally arrange for the sailors to carry out the work on the ship. Dill also reacted quickly after the initial shock and made a move. He followed closely Following the route that Lando left, he also came to the window, grabbed a rein hanging by the side, and braved the storm and jumped back to the Mora from the Schitz. When he landed on the deck of the Mora, he immediately saw the black-haired young man standing in the middle of a group of pirates, yelling for them to prepare to join the ship.

"Ah, it's time to leave you on my boat. It's not Raymond's turn to be proud of that bastard."

The blond young man rubbed the tip of his nose and muttered regretfully. At this time, the black-haired young man not far away from him, who had no idea that he had been praised, had already lifted a huge iron that looked thicker than his waist. During the violent shaking of the ship, he moved step by step towards the side of the ship—the heavy rain had completely soaked his body, and the thin coat was completely attached to his body at this moment, covering his already not very strong body. His figure became more and more slender, his black hair was attached to his cheeks obediently, and the rainwater formed a water mark on the tip of his hair, and gathered into a small river along his cheeks at his sharp chin——

Strips of metal iron plates were built between the Mora and the Schitz under the cooperation of pirates and sailors, and then fastened with giant specific fixed metal fasteners. When pulled, the hull made a "squeak" "Squeak" the terrible groan of being overwhelmed... At this time, on the other side of the Shitz, it was also linked with other escort ships and supply ships behind the ship——

About ten minutes later, the rain became heavier than before. However, the Mora, which was at the forefront of the entire fleet, had already reached the edge of the vortex, but slowed down visibly. The speed of being sucked into the vortex!

Lando leaned on the metal plate linking the two ships, and slammed down and fastened the last fixed part. At the same time, he heard the sound of someone cheering from the Mora or the Shitz behind him. , no matter who they are, they seem to be waking up and regaining their lives——

Lando let out a long breath, and looked down at the fingernails he was grasping on the edge of the metal plate, which had been split open and bleeding continuously due to excessive force. To wipe off the rain on his face, he was about to climb back on the Shitz and drink a sip of whiskey to warm his body, but at this moment, the speed of the water flow in the eyes of the sea increased invisible, and the ship trembled violently, which had already stopped After being involved in the trend, the Mora was pulled half of the ship into the edge of the sea eye!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

After Lando slammed under his feet, there was a "thud" in his heart. The moment his brain was overwhelmed by fear and emptied, he felt that his center of gravity lost control. Amidst the screams of the crowd behind him, his hand Grabbed indiscriminately in the air, but his hands only had time to reach the edge of the metal plate. With another swing of the ship, the hand that had not been able to grasp it firmly slid across the edge of the metal plate abruptly, and there was a heart-pounding pain from the palm of his hand. In severe pain, he cried out in pain that his hands lost strength, and just as he shouted in his heart, "It's over!" Suddenly, a tall figure appeared from above him, and then the man stretched out a One arm grabs his wrist, pulls him back from the tendency to be thrown out, and firmly holds him in his arms!

"Raymond!"

"It's me, don't shout, stand still."

Facing the surprised and surprised exclamation of the black-haired young man, the man's reaction was indifference and shock, but his tone was completely different from that of his speech. Between the words, he slightly retracted the hand on the black-haired young man's waist. tight--

Raymond used the rein hanging between the Schitz and the Mora to grab Lando by stepping on the metal plate, but at this moment, the damn rein was bearing the weight of two grown men Finally, the weight was overwhelmed, and some part of the rope was obviously damaged. Lando may feel that the bodies of both of them sank suddenly...

Lando hugged Raymond's waist tightly with both hands, the heavy rain slapped his face, and in a panic, he only felt the man stuff a rough rein into his hand, and he almost reflexively He grabbed the rein, and before he could react to what happened, he heard Raymond say in his ear, "Go back by yourself, don't look back."

Lando moved his lips, and was about to ask Raymond what "don't look back". The next second, he suddenly felt the arm around his waist loosen. His heart tightened, as if he had thought of something. He wanted to reach out and grab the man, but at this time, the latter was already one step ahead of him and pushed him out—the huge force followed the swing of the boat, and quickly threw Lando a few meters away, so the black-haired young man One can only watch helplessly as the figure of the man left alone on the link board is gradually blurred in the increasingly dense rain!

"Raymond!!!!"

A hysterical roar came from his chest. When the black-haired young man staggered and fell on the deck of the Sheath, he pushed away the charge captain who stepped forward to help him, threw away the reins and staggered forward. Towards the side of the ship——At this moment, a huge wave rushed, and the pirates roared in panic from the deck of the Mora, and the Shitz was also pulled and shook violently——

Lando got up from the deck in a state of embarrassment, and staggered all the way to the side of the ship. He widened his slightly red eyes and tried to look in a certain direction, but wherever he looked, there was a mass of thick Rain and fog, can't see anything clearly...

The connection board appears to be deserted.

Lando stood there in a daze for a few seconds, and then, before his brain made a correct judgment, his body had already reacted first. He jumped up onto the side of the boat, and was about to jump down The movement, a huge force pulled him back to the deck——

Lando's back hit a solid chest hard.

"Let me go! Dill! Let me go, I'm going to find—"

"Are you fucking crazy, jumping like this will still kill you? I checked it when I came here, Raymond is no longer on the connection board! Don't follow him to die! It's meaningless for him to risk saving you where?"

"so what?!"

While tugging, the black-haired young man turned around abruptly, his gentle pupils were filled with ferocity and anger at this moment——

"That's Raymond! In this life, I owe anyone and I don't want to owe him Raymond! How could I allow him to die for me! I don't allow this kind of thing!!!!"

The roar that was almost hoarse because of the extreme roar made the blond young man stunned for a moment, and the pair of pupils in front of him that were already as red as trapped animals filled with complex emotions were deeply reflected in his eyes. During the panting, the other party's emotions seemed to be transmitted to him through the arms pulled together by the two of them——

But Raymond was probably dead.

What's the use of you jumping down like this regardless?

Although he wanted to convince the other party in this way, when facing those eyes, Dill found that he couldn't say anything for the first time... After a long time, he sighed: "You just—"

Before Dill finished speaking, suddenly, they heard a sailor's exclamation from the side of the ship: "Look! My God, what is that?!"
