50, Jinjiang Exclusive(1/2)
It was almost four o'clock in the morning when Lu Ao arrived at the pier.
It's quite lively on the pier.
These are rescue fishing boats organized voluntarily by the private sector. Not only are they free of charge, but they also pay for their fuel.
Despite this, there were still several boats waiting to sail at the dock.
There was a commotion on the pier, and the family members of the fishermen who had fallen into the water were also on the boat. They were crying and recounting the last call they received, trying to provide more information.
Soon, a ship set off to sea.
Lu Ao got on one of the ships.
Brother Tao who picked him up was very familiar with the boat owner and took good care of him.
As soon as he got on the boat, Brother Tao brought him water and seasickness medicine, "Take some first. The waves are too frequent today. No matter how big the boat is, I'm afraid you will get seasick."
Lu Ao took it, poured two slices into his mouth, and asked, "How is the situation now? How many have been found?"
"A total of six have been found, and the helicopter has sent the people to the hospital." Brother Tao said, "There are still 19 that have not been found."
When the ship sank, the fishermen jumped off the ship together, holding the cages and floating in the sea wearing life jackets.
At the beginning, when the fishermen still have enough strength, they will float for a while and swim for a while, trying to stay together.
Having more people ensures safety and is also conducive to large-scale rescues.
According to the rescued fishermen, the waves were relatively strong today. Even if they consciously stayed together, after a while, everyone was exhausted and could not stay on the same sea surface, so they could only drift with the waves.
The few fishermen who were rescued all told the direction in which they saw their companions floating away. However, the sea was too big and it was dark. Even if they knew the original direction, they had no idea where they were floating to now.
After Lu Ao took the seasickness medicine, he stood on the deck and looked carefully in a certain direction.
Everyone else on the ship was also watching from the deck.
The wind gradually picked up again and the boat rocked violently.
Several volunteers who helped have vomited.
Life on board is like this. No matter how experienced you are, you will still vomit after exceeding the body's adaptive limit.
Some offshore fishermen, when encountering strong winds and waves, are constantly drifting on the sea, and can even vomit until they lie in bed and cannot get up for several days.
Going to sea is hard work, it always has been.
Lu Ao feels fine.
He looked at the sea.
After my eyes got used to it, the sea surface was not completely dark, but rather hazy and bright.
There may be rain clouds overhead, and neither the moon nor the stars can be seen today. The visibility is very poor, which makes rescue very difficult.
Except for Lu Ao, everyone could only see clearly the sea area within a hundred meters.
Lu Ao knew this situation, so he observed it more carefully.
Soon, the ship arrived at the destination sea area.
They are still offshore and have cell phone signals, so the ship's bosses have been using their phones to communicate and adjust the ship's sailing direction from time to time.
In the target sea area, helicopters have been searching nearby. Lu Ao saw it several times, and then looked away.
Rescue at sea is actually very tiring.
Lu Ao kept staring at the sea and felt drowsy.
He didn't know how long he had been watching, but he suddenly felt something on the sea, whether it was debris or a person.
The ship got closer.
Lu Ao clearly saw a round head.
He quickly raised his voice and shouted: "Over there! There is someone over there!"
Everyone was excited and rushed to Lu Ao to look, "Which way?!"
"Where is there anyone?"
"Why didn't I see it? Did I see it wrong?"
"Boss, where's the boss? We'll find out as soon as we head over there."
Amidst the commotion, their fishing boat turned around and slowly headed in the direction pointed by Lu Ao.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters...
Everyone saw someone floating on the sea, with only half of his head and a small part of his shoulders exposed.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! There's really someone out there!"
"Quick, call the helicopter, we've found a person too!"
"Speedboat, drive the speedboat over and have a look!"
"Is the person still alive?"
The people on the boat quickly put down the speedboat, and several experienced fishermen approached.
They struggled to get the man onto the boat, and soon found his breathing.
They hurriedly shouted to the people on the big boat: "It's really human - still alive -"
"Quick, quick, get it out. Dr. Lin, come here and take a look."
The fishermen who fell into the water quickly returned to the big boat with the help of everyone.
The doctor on board the ship came over to take a look and quickly judged: "There are large-scale bruises on the body. It is currently impossible to determine whether there is internal bleeding. The vital signs are relatively stable. We need to send him to the hospital as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on the boat cheered.
Brother Tao patted Lu Ao on the shoulder hard and praised: "Well done!"
Others also came over and patted Lu Ao on the shoulder in a friendly manner.
A nearby rescue helicopter came quickly and took the injured there for first aid.
Someone on the boat shouted: "Everyone, please continue searching, maybe there are other crew members who have strayed into this sea area!"
Rescue is a matter of time. The sooner the fishermen who fell into the water are found, the greater their chance of survival.
Brother Tao patted Lu Ao, "Have a look."
Lu Ao nodded and continued to stare at the sea seriously.
After a while, the boat had reached the boundary of the rescue range, and they needed to change direction and continue searching.
There was someone keeping a lookout in front of the ship.
Seeing that the boat randomly chose a direction, Lu Ao walked over to communicate with the boss of the boat, "How about we look northwest?"
The boss of the boat saw that he was the one who had just discovered the fisherman who had fallen into the water, so he did not feel offended and explained: "We already have a boat from the northwest looking for him."
Lu Ao nodded and asked again: "How many boats were we looking for in the past? Now the wind is blowing to the northwest. I feel that the fishermen who fell into the water may float to that area."
"Hey, isn't the southeast wind blowing today?"
An experienced person stood on the deck and felt it, and immediately said: "The direction of the wind has indeed changed! It is blowing from the northeast now."
"Awesome! You can see this?"
"How about we also drive northwest?"
"Yes! Boss Chang, if you don't tell the other ships, we will sail northwest, and the success rate will be greater."
The ship boss thought for a moment and did not refuse, "Then I'll tell them."
After the boat boss called the police and asked people there, he changed the direction of the boat again, this time heading northwest.
The idea of driving northwest was right. Before five minutes of driving, Lu Ao saw another person.
Everyone was even more excited, and even those who were seasick didn't care about being dizzy. Their lips were pale, but there was a blush of excitement on their cheekbones, and their eyes were staring at the dark sea.
Everyone rolled up their sleeves to help.
Soon, the fisherman who fell into the water was rescued. After the doctor looked at him, he found that his arm was broken.
As long as I still have energy now, the situation isn't too bad.
Everyone quickly called the rescue helicopter and asked them to come quickly.
After the fishermen who fell into the water were sent away, the boat continued to sail.
Lu Ao Lu discovered four more people one after another, three of whom were alive.
After these few hours, everyone knew that Lu Ao's eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, and his senses were also sharper.
The sky was still bright and it was cloudy again today, so the visibility was even worse. Many people saw shadows from a distance and couldn't notice them at all, but Lu Ao could clearly tell whether they were humans or debris.
Others on the boat reported missing several times, but Lu Ao was right every time.
A total of six people were rescued in the early morning, all of whom were discovered by Lu Ao.
Slowly, everyone listened to his opinion.
