Not only did Richard find that Captain Morgan at the helm gradually realized that something was wrong: the ghost ship was not thrown away, nor was he deceived to deviate from the direction.I don't know why, the ghost ship seems to be very clear about the location of "Naru Rongguang Fisherman", even without the guidance of the lights, it still follows closely.In this way, he turned the ship to the left and turned it into a "self-intelligent"-not only did it not open the distance, but also made the distance smaller.

Looking at the blue flame above the ghost ship in the distance, Captain Morgan looked very dignified, took a deep breath, and issued a command in his mouth.

Next, Richard, who remained on the deck, saw Captain Morgan use all his means to try to get rid of the ghost ship behind.

For example, blind lights that are completely extinguished, extremely risky;

For example, a large amount of kerosene is poured into the sea, and after a certain distance, it is ignited with a rocket, which produces a burning flame, trying to make the ghost ship mistaken for the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman";

For example, a large number of ropes tied between pontoons were dropped into the sea water, trying to entangle the ghost ship after the pursuit.

...

According to Richard, although these methods have no scientific and technological content, it is not easy to come up with them. At least...the way of thinking is advanced.

Applying the same method to air combat on modern earth is equivalent to radio silence, infrared jamming and anti-ambush.

But...even so, none of these methods worked.

In the dark night, the ghost ship is really like a ghost, constantly drawing closer, closer, and closer.

The atmosphere on the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" was tense, all the sailors were awakened, and the captain Morgan steered and directed.After knowing that it is useless to extinguish a fire extinguisher, simply ignite a lot of torches around to illuminate the sea surface, try their best to increase the speed, and compete with the ghost ship for real speed.

But... the ghost ship is still approaching...

Finally, the ghost ship arrived at a place only a few hundred meters away from the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman". Under the illumination of the faint blue flame, it could clearly see the empty deck.

The face of the sailors changed, and some passengers in the cabin sensed something was wrong, and ran to the deck. When they saw this, they couldn't help but panic.Fortunately, the captain Morgan had warned that there was no disturbance.

The atmosphere is extremely depressed.

Captain Morgan was standing at the rudder, his face black and scary.

The first officer Williams glanced at Captain Morgan carefully and asked aloud, "Captain, now... what to do..."

Captain Morgan didn't answer, because he didn't know how to answer-he thought of all the ways he could think, and really didn't know what to do now.

It seems that it won't take long for the ghost ship to catch up completely.At that time, regardless of whether the ghost ship is disguised as a pirate or not, the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" will be in a terrible situation.

Is there really no solution?

Captain Morgan thought bitterly.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the deck, proposing: "Throw the goods."

"Huh?" Captain Morgan froze, raising his eyebrows.

The first officer, Williams, glared at the sailor: "Who are you talking, stand up? Throw the goods? Huh, who wants to throw the goods, I'll throw him first?"

The sailors panicked and quickly shook their heads to deny it.

Richard in the corner of the deck looked calm, as if he had done nothing.

The first officer Williams was about to investigate further, and was suddenly stopped by Captain Morgan, Captain Morgan said, "Wait, Williams."

"Captain, you--"

"Throwing the cargo is probably not a way." Captain Morgan said slowly. "Throwing the cargo away, the boat must be lighter, the speed can be increased, and the ghost ship can be thrown away."

"But Captain!" First Officer Williams was anxious. "If the goods are lost, how can we explain to the merchants this time..."

"There will always be a way." Captain Morgan raised his hand to interrupt Williams. "I think it is clear that now the goods are lost. The loss is only the goods, and there is a chance of salvation. But if it is really The ghost ship behind that didn’t know anything caught up, not only all the cargo, but the ship and the lives of all of us.”

"But the captain..."

"Don't say it again, Williams, execute the order!" Captain Morgan snapped. "Open the warehouse and throw everything you can see into the sea! Do you understand?"

"Yes, understand!" First officer Williams gritted his teeth.

"Repeat me!"

"Open the warehouse and throw everything you can see into the sea!" shouted Williams.

"Very good, then what are you still doing here, take someone to do it!"

"Yes!" The first officer Williams gritted his teeth, ordered the names of a large number of sailors, and ran towards the warehouse.

Not long after, a box of cargo was lifted onto the deck and then pushed into the sea.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

The weight of the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" has been continuously reduced, and the speed has been significantly improved. You can see that the ghost ship behind is getting slower and slower, and then the distance is pulled away again and pulled Farther and farther, farther and farther...

"Hoo, saved, saved!"

"Finally got rid of!"

The passengers on the deck cheered.

But the sailors were silent. Although they were temporarily out of danger like the passengers, they lost all their cargoes, and they were destined to get nothing even if they reached their destination. Their hearts were heavy.

At the rudder, the first officer, Williams, sighed and looked at the captain Morgan who was at the helm: "Captain, do you want to rest for a while? Since the goods have been lost, we don't have to hurry and the ghost ship is also thrown away. It's far away, don't worry too much."

"Wait until dawn." Captain Morgan said. "It's still not safe. I'll go to rest until dawn."

"Okay." The first officer, Williams, knew Captain Morgan's temper and stopped persuading, standing silently beside him.

Captain Morgan walked meticulously at the helm.

At this time, the cheering passengers were tired after the celebration, and returned to the cabin to rest, and the deck became dead.

For a long time...

The stars traversed the sky, the night passed by, and the vague light of the east revealed.

The captain Morgan slowly loosened the rudder. Because of the long time of fatigue, the body shook slightly, and the first officer Williams, who had been guarding next to him, quickly helped.

"Captain, are you... all right?"

"I'm okay, don't worry about me." Captain Morgan raised his hand. "It's just a little older, just sleep."

Talking, Captain Morgan left the rudder, and while the waiting helmsman took over the rudder, he walked toward the captain's room, followed by first officer Williams.

"You must take care of the things on the ship. Don't worry too much about the cargo. All the problems will be solved when I wake up." Captain Morgan said.

"Yes." First officer Williams nodded.

"That's good." With that said, Captain Morgan had walked to the captain's room, and he would enter after opening the hatch.

At that moment, the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" shuddered, and the hull made a chilling sound, the speed suddenly decreased, and then stopped.Under the influence of inertia, Captain Morgan, First Officer Williams, and many sailors on the deck leaned forward and almost fell.

Captain Morgan stood firm, turned his head to look at the rudder, and asked with a ugly face: "What's going on?"

"Captain--" The helmsman who had just taken over the rudder at that time stood up with a trembling body, and his face was ten thousand times uglier than Captain Morgan. He almost cried and reported, "Captain, we... have hit the reef!"

Hit the rocks!

This!
