Chapter 747
He took off his helmet, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his breathing was rapid, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.
The sea area near the oil field was engulfed in flames and heat waves, as if it was about to devour everything.
Everyone on the mothership was stunned and felt a chill in their hearts.
Even from such a distance, they seemed to be able to feel the suffocating heat and momentum, as if the end of the world had come.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was terribly heavy.
The explosion in the oil field meant that their fuel reserves were completely cut off, and their confidence in future voyages was completely destroyed.
Everyone's heart is shrouded in a layer of haze, as if there is no hope ahead.
Amid the sound of explosions in the oil fields, the huge mothership slowly sailed into the distance.
The flames and thick smoke in the distance were still rolling in the sky, as if reminding them that the shadow of doomsday was never far away.
In the cockpit, various instruments flashed red lights, shrill alarms sounded one after another, and the air was filled with an anxious atmosphere.
Captain Chen stared at the image of the oil field explosion wreckage on the main screen, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.
On the screen, the burning oil field area continued to expand, and the thick smoke covered the sky, like a huge black monster devouring everything.
Captain Chen stood in the cockpit, his eyes sharp as he stared at the sea ahead.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and gave the order in a deep voice: "All ships, make an emergency turn! Avoid the burning oil fields and the spreading oil!"
The crew members immediately took action, and a series of operating sounds were heard in the cabin.
The mothership slowly adjusted its direction, and the hull drew an arc in the waves, avoiding the sea area shrouded in flames and thick smoke.
The mothership's speed suddenly increased by 20%, and it sailed away in the black sea like a dragon.
The ship vibrated slightly due to the high speed, and the atmosphere on the deck and in the cabin was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Everyone knew that the explosion in the oil field not only meant the cut-off of fuel, but also symbolized the uncertainty of their future voyage.
Many people lowered their heads in silence, and some even secretly wiped their eyes, with a hint of despair in their eyes.
"Report to the captain, we have now left the burning area and are temporarily safe!" the adjutant reported with a hint of relief in his tone.
Captain Chen nodded, but his brows were still furrowed.
He knew that this was only temporary safety.
The mother ship had very little fuel to begin with, and it could only barely sustain them to Hope Island No. 2. Now the explosion of the oil field had put them in a desperate situation.
He didn't know why, but turned to look at Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu who were quietly standing aside, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Xiao Zhou, what do you think of the current situation?"
Zhou Shuwan lowered her head slightly, as if lost in thought. After a moment, she raised her head and spoke steadily, "Captain Chen, although we've avoided the direct threat of the oil fields, the seawater has been severely polluted by oil. Therefore, we must leave this area as soon as possible."
Captain Chen nodded and said, "Okay, you will be responsible for planning the new route."
Zhou Shuwan had actually just sensed the correct direction.
But she still walked to the control panel and carefully checked the nautical chart and sonar chart.
After a moment, she gave a new direction.
The current sailing direction is correct, but we will encounter a reef area soon.
The ocean currents there are very strong and flow in very strange directions.
If you run into it directly, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, there were no large schools of fish under the reef as they had encountered before.
Therefore, it is better to avoid it early.
At this point, the people in the cockpit no longer had any doubts about her ability. Without even waiting for Captain Chen's orders, they immediately began to change the course.
The mother ship's hull slowly turned on the sea, avoiding the reef area ahead.
