Chapter 53 Military Warning
"Pull the anchor—!"
The sailor shouted loudly and pulled the windlass control lever suddenly, but it didn't move at all. He could only shout urgently: "Report! The anchor can't be pulled!"
"Cabin room! Main engine reverse thrust!"
"The host pushes back——!"
In an instant, the sound of rolling waves came from the bottom of the cabin. As the main engine blades reversed, the hull began to gradually drift to the left.
Gu Ji stared at the dynamics of the ship on the screen. Seeing that the stern of the ship was completely thrown away, the entire ship and the anchor were close to a straight line, he shouted again: "Start the main and auxiliary engines!!"
As the main engine and auxiliary engine restored forward power at the same time, the hull began to move forward.
"Pull the anchor!"
"Still can't pull it!"
The sailor shouted through gritted teeth.
Gu Ji controlled the rudder, "Pull! Keep pulling!"
At this moment, a foreign white man wearing a white hat and a blue uniform suddenly ran in from outside the cab door. He looked at the sailor for half a second, then rushed to the sailor, put his feet on the floor, and pulled the windlass with him. Joystick, "One! Two! Three!"
Click!
There was a sound of mechanical gears turning, and the hydraulic press finally started to work, retracting the chain one by one.
The navigation screen showed that the bow of the ship had also lost its focus.
"Airport room, activate the left thrust reverser."
The foreign white man in uniform suddenly shouted, then looked at Gu Ji, took off his hat, and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "God, you saved the lives of everyone on the ship!"
"Huhe...huhe..."
The sailor collapsed on the ground, his hands shaking uncontrollably, as if he still hadn't gotten over the shocking scene just now.
"Don't talk yet. You two should get out of the cab quickly. The major illness has broken out. It's easy to get the virus here."
Gu Ji was not immersed in the joy of saving the ship from losing control. At the same time, he picked up the intercom and said: "Medical care! Cleaning! Come immediately and send the first mate to the treatment room, and at the same time perform a full disinfection of the wheelhouse!"
After saying this, he glanced at the map of the mainland displayed on the radar screen, and with a sudden change of heart, he quickly turned the rudder and headed towards Jeju Island Port.
Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside the driver's door.
However, it was not the medical staff and cleaning staff who arrived, but the police from the police station. Perhaps because he had a gun on his body, almost all the police forces on the cruise ship were dispatched this time.
Four or five guns were pointed at Gu Ji at the same time.
"Don't move! Put down your weapons and don't resist!"
"Hey! What are you doing! He was the one who saved our entire ship just now!"
Unexpectedly, the first person to speak was not Gu Ji, but the third officer standing outside the door, "You must have made a mistake. If she is really a terrorist, why did you bother to save the ship just now?"
The leading police officer swallowed and was a little shaken by this question.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Dr. Songdao also arrived with medical staff and cleaning staff.
The police hurriedly reminded: "Don't go in yet, the terrorists are still inside!"
"Anyway, I don't believe she is a bad person. A terrorist will not take the trouble to find the source of the virus. This is digging his own grave."
Dr. Songdao's tone was firm, and he was about to rush in with others after speaking.
"Wait! She has a gun!"
The police reached out to intercept him again, and Gu Ji took out the pistol from his waist, causing all the police officers' expressions to change suddenly.
But the next second, he dropped the pistol on the ground: "I did this out of sheer helplessness."
"you……"
The police really didn't understand this time.
indeed.
Everything Gu Ji did was inconsistent with the common sense of a terrorist, just like a murderer would not "kill and save others at the same time."
"Platinum Star Cruise Ship, you have been prohibited from docking, please return immediately!"
Just when everyone was in a stalemate and hesitation, a warning from the Jeju Island Port Navigation Control Center suddenly came from the radio in the cockpit.
After hearing this, the third officer hurriedly spoke: "Miss Jiang, the first officer has just tried to dock and has been warned by the Korean side once. We can't move forward any further, otherwise the military region may come forward to enforce control!"
"This is just what I want!"
Gu Ji's eyes looked like a hungry tiger at this moment.
Just now, we experienced an out-of-control crisis on a cruise ship. The number of infected people suddenly increased by more than 30, and four people died on the spot. If we return from Jeju Port now and continue to delay, I don’t know how many more people will die!
So, he picked up the radio and said in a very calm voice: "This is the Platinum Star cruise ship! Call the Jeju Island Port Navigation Control Center. The cruise ship is currently seriously infected and there are many casualties. We must stop the ship at the port and receive medical assistance, otherwise the entire ship will be shut down." Everyone on the ship will lose their lives!"
"I understand your feelings very well, but the news of the terrorist attack on the Platinum Star cruise ship has spread online. The people of Jeju Island are now very panicked. There is currently an unknown virus outbreak on the cruise ship. For our safety reasons, the port stop permit is not allowed. Passed! Please return!"
The woman at the air traffic control center replied.
"174 severe patients, more than 430 close contacts, and more than 3,000 innocent tourists, do you really want to die without saving them?"
Gu Ji knew that the relationship between South Korea and Japan was not very good, but the incident that broke out on the Platinum Star cruise ship was not limited to Japan. There were also many foreign tourists on the ship!
Upon hearing the refusal to stop at the port, everyone looked panicked.
A female cleaning lady who didn't understand the reason asked: "Why aren't we allowed to dock at the port? Didn't you say yesterday that the cabinet ministers had already negotiated for us to dock at the Jeju Island Port?"
"Have you not seen the video circulating on the Internet? Now netizens are saying that this incident was a bioterrorist attack deliberately designed by someone. It is probably an unknown new virus. In the absence of a vaccine and antigen, who can If you dare to take us in rashly, isn't that just setting yourself on fire?"
"What should we do? Can we just wait to die at sea?"
"I...I don't want to die..."
…
Just as everyone's panic began to spread.
"Sorry, there is nothing we can do! Final warning! Please return immediately! Otherwise we will take necessary military measures to force them away!"
The Air Traffic Control Center still rejected Gu Ji’s application.
And, the next second, three fast-moving red dots suddenly appeared on the radar screen of the bridge.
"Ms. Jiang, if we continue to force the port to dock like this, the South Korean Navy will probably sink us!"
Seeing that Gu Ji had no intention of stopping, the third officer could only pick up the intercom: "In the engine room, stop all power to the main and auxiliary engines immediately!"
"Sink?"
Hearing these two words, everyone became even more frightened.
But Gu Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Don't stop! Trust me, don't stop! Even if we can't reach Hong Kong, we must find a way to get medical assistance from South Korea!"
Dr. Songdao understood best why Gu Ji was so insistent.
Because the number of patients on the cruise ship has been increasing exponentially, and the consumption of medical resources is extremely terrible. It is estimated that the entire ship will collapse before it can even return to Japan.
Gu Ji stared at the red dots surrounding him on the screen, his eyelids half raised, he picked up the radio and shouted to all the tourists on the ship: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Na, I need your help now!"
There was something minor going on today and I was delayed. I will update twice for now and will make another update tomorrow!
