Chapter 805: There Are Wind Chimes in the South and Hengmu in the North (68)
Feng Ling followed Qiao Fei to the direction of the sea quickly.
Over the sea, a helicopter of the rescue team had already approached and descended slowly.
And the rescue vehicles and rescue boats sent by the military have also arrived near the sea area.
The cruise ship has traveled more than 2,000 meters to the center of the sea. The fire on the cruise ship spread quickly. At the beginning, only black smoke and some flames could be seen above. When the helicopter of the rescue team descended to a certain height, the cruise ship The firelight on the stern of the ship became more and more visible.
Several violent elements who escorted the Littered family jumped directly into the sea from the bow, trying to escape from the sea.
But the Ritter family did not show up on it, fearing that they were all tied up in the cabin of the cruise ship waiting to die.
The military's rescue ship cooperated with the rescue team's helicopter to prepare to approach, but the wind and waves at sea were too strong at the moment, and both ships were shaking violently, making it difficult to get close.
At this time, the voice of the captain of the rescue team on the helicopter came from the earphones: "Report, the wind and waves are too strong to go to the ship to rescue people. The rescue team has applied for the release of the inflatable raft. Please inform the military rescue personnel in the base lobby and put on everything Life-saving equipment, our team members will adopt a direct rescue method on board, and need to bring people out before the fire spreads completely."
The base hall immediately notified the rescue ship sent by the military.
Feng Ling and Qiao Fei had already boarded the nearest military rescue ship, and the ship could not get close. Both of them were staring at the direction of the cruise ship, waiting for the next order.
Soon, the orange-red inflatable raft that could accommodate more than a dozen people was released from the rescue boat, and the two members of the rescue team who got off the helicopter lay down in it, paddling with both hands, and began to try to get close to the smoke-filled cruise ship.
No one can be seen outside the cabin on the tanker so far, but the Ritter family is still inside. I don't know what's going on.
Feng Ling and Qiao Fei rode another inflatable raft placed below on the military rescue ship, and they also began to approach the cruise ship.
The whole process lasted for about two or three minutes. The inflatable raft finally approached the cruise ship. Everyone quickly climbed up the edge, grabbed all the places that could be used to push upwards, and successfully climbed onto the smoke-filled cruise ship.
The planes of the rescue team are still circling in the sky, ready to be called at any time. After all, if the plane continues to approach downwards with such a fire, it will only cause more unnecessary danger.
Feng Ling Qiaofei and members of the rescue team put on fire-resistant gas masks to cover the thick smoke,
Divided into four directions, rushed in to the main entrance of Ruoda's cabin and the sides on both sides respectively.
There are six floors in the cabin of this cruise ship, and each floor is about three to four hundred square meters. It takes a lot of effort to find people in such thick smoke.
After Feng Ling went in, he rushed upstairs, and the rest of the people started from the first floor and went up floor by floor. They had to open every corner and place where people could hide.
Up to the fifth floor, Feng Ling's footsteps suddenly stopped, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a huge wooden box placed there on the observation deck on the upper level of the cruise ship not far away, almost about to be swallowed by billowing smoke .
Feng Ling paused, then walked over quickly, kicked off the chain on the wooden box, and suddenly opened the heavy lid on the box, and sure enough, he saw the three members of the Ritter family trapped inside.
A man, a woman, and a three-year-old child were all tied hands and feet, and a layer of black cloth was covered over their heads. The three of them had been smoked by the heavy smoke on the cruise ship, and they didn't even have the strength to struggle inside. When the black cloth was thrown away, the woman in her thirties opened her eyes first. She should be Mayor Ritter's wife.
When the woman saw Feng Ling, her eyes were terrified, and then she looked outside at the thick smoke and fire, the panic in her eyes turned to asking for help, she looked at Feng Ling with her eyes, and then looked at the side beside her, she was already terrified The child whose eyes were full of tears and blushed by the thick smoke was choked by the thick smoke, and the hope in the valley of survival in his eyes was more conspicuous than the thick smoke around him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Feng Ling spoke proficient English to the mayor's wife, and at the same time quickly tore off the black tape stuck to the mouths of the family of three.
As soon as the mayor's wife got her mouth free, she immediately yelled heart-piercingly: "Save us...we don't want to die...save the children..."
"Don't worry, we are from the XI base, and we will definitely keep you safe." Feng Ling comforted her, while quickly cutting the rope off the child's body first, and then according to this, Mayor Ritter's wife and Mayor Ritter The rope on the body was cut.
"What's wrong with him?" Seeing that Mayor Ritterd had been in a coma, but his wife and child were still somewhat conscious, Feng Ling asked while taking the child out of the box.
"After we were kidnapped, my husband had been beaten by those violent elements. He had already been injured. When he was taken to the cruise ship, his head was also injured and he was unconscious all the time. "Mayor Ritterd struggled to stand up from the box with tears in her eyes. Seeing the child being held in the arms of the young man who came to rescue them, she looked at Feng Ling gratefully, and stretched out her hand to hold Feng Ling together with Feng Ling." Mayor Ritterd, who was lying motionless in the box, helped him up.
"Feng Ling?" The members of the rescue team rushed up to the fifth floor at this time. After hearing the movement here, the two who came up first suddenly walked over.
"Quickly, help Mayor Ritter down first, he has been in a coma for a long time, this kind of smoke is too deadly." Feng Ling said, directly took off the fireproof gas mask on his head, and put it on with all his strength. On the head of the crying child in his arms, he cast a look at Mrs. Mayor Ritterd in a blink of an eye: "Our people will carry Mayor Ritter away first, can you still walk?" ?”
Seeing that Mrs. Mayor Ritter nodded vigorously to her in a hurry, her eyes were still looking nervously at the child in Feng Ling's arms, obviously she wanted to go with Feng Ling and the child, and did not want to be separated from the child.
Two members of the rescue team carried out Mayor Ritter, who weighed more than 200 kilograms. Feng Ling held the crying child in his arms while motioning for Mayor Ritter's wife to go with her.
When the two of them went downstairs with their children, Qiao Fei also quickly walked over: "How is it? Is there anyone else up there?"
"No, there are only three of them in the family. Mayor Ritter is in a coma, and his wife and child are still awake for the time being." Feng Ling said, walking out quickly without stopping.
"If the cruise ship continues to burn, the oil tank will explode." In order not to surprise the mayor's wife, Qiao Fei said in a low voice that only Feng Ling could hear.
"I know." Feng Ling looked serious, but the child in his arms was probably really scared and uncomfortable. While crying, he kept climbing on her arms with both feet, and Feng Ling held him firmly. The restless child rushed out of the hatch.
