"Whirlpool, whirlpool, such a huge whirlpool, we're doomed, all doomed!" The fisherman with the surname Zhou trembled all over with fear, tears streaming down his face.
The other fishermen were also stunned, unable to speak for a moment!
In all their years at sea, they had never seen such a scene.
A huge whirlpool appeared on the sea not far away!
Very big, very big!
With a diameter of nearly ten meters!
From a distance, it looked like a raging prehistoric beast, opening its blood-red mouth, ready to devour all things!
At this moment, the fishing boat was still over a hundred meters away from the whirlpool, but its course was already being uncontrollably drawn by the whirlpool's gravity!
Sun Hongwei, who was controlling the fishing boat, also saw the whirlpool and was desperately trying to steer the boat, but it was of no use!
The gravitational pull of the whirlpool was just too strong!
No matter how hard Sun Hongwei tried, the fishing boat was inching closer to the whirlpool!
And the speed was increasing!
"It's over, we're really done for this time." Sun Hongwei was drenched in sweat, clutching the boat's steering wheel with all his might, but his arms were gradually losing strength under the terrifying pull of the whirlpool!
"No, I simply can't control the direction anymore!"
After a few seconds of trying, Sun Hongwei gave up, ran outside, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, I can't control the fishing boat, we might need to abandon ship and escape!"
"Abandon ship?"
"Is it really going to come to this?"
"This fishing boat is our key to survival, how can we abandon it?"
Upon hearing the words "abandon ship," the surrounding fishermen's eyes involuntarily welled up with tears!
They really couldn't bear to part with this fishing boat!
There were even two or three who had been going to sea with Sun Hongwei for twenty or thirty years, always using this very boat. In their hearts, this fishing boat was no longer just a fishing boat but a friend with a life of its own!
In the past, they had encountered many dangers at sea. Which time wasn't this fishing boat that helped them through the difficulties?
"Captain, we can't abandon ship because abandoning ship is useless! That whirlpool's gravitational pull is so strong, even the fishing boat can't escape it; if we abandon ship, we'll have even less chance to escape that whirlpool!"
Someone among the fishermen suddenly shouted.
Boom!!!
Just as the fisherman's words fell, before Sun Hongwei could respond, with a thunderous roar, the entire fishing boat shook violently, while the distant whirlpool began to spin faster!
The gravitational pull increased even more!
The pull increased several times in an instant, causing the fishing boat to accelerate toward the whirlpool like an unbridled wild horse!
"It's over, it's completely over now!"
"We're all going to die here!"
"I, I don't want to die. I have a wife and kids!"
The crew was in complete despair as they watched the fishing boat being sucked into the whirlpool!
They couldn't think of any solutions!
And they didn't believe that under such circumstances they could escape safely!
In their fear, without realizing it, the fishing boat was less than ten meters from the whirlpool!
Sun Hongwei stopped talking!
The other crew members were also silent!
At this moment, they were no longer afraid, just standing quietly, reluctantly taking in their surroundings, looking at everything on the fishing boat, as if making a final communication.
And just when everyone fell into despair, Ye Qiu, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, his tone incredibly calm, "Have you given up so easily, ready for death? Give it up, no one is dying today."
"What?" Sun Hongwei was the first to hear Ye Qiu's words, and he quickly turned his head, looking at Ye Qiu with a puzzled expression!
He really couldn't figure out what solution Ye Qiu could possibly have at this moment!
Go steer the boat?
Heh, Ye Qiu's strength was indeed immense, and Sun Hongwei was thoroughly convinced that if it were just an ordinary storm, Ye Qiu could completely control the steering. But now they were under the double pressure of a storm and a sea whirlpool!
It wasn't that easy anymore!
Even if Ye Qiu's strength could control the steering wheel, the wheel couldn't withstand that tremendous force!
"He doesn't intend to push the boat, does he?"
Sun Hongwei frowned as he thought, then shook his head vigorously.
How could that be possible?
Look at that gigantic whirlpool, that terrifying pull!
In such a situation, even an aircraft carrier would struggle to resist the whirlpool's power!
Ye Qiu was, after all, just a human!
Under the power of nature, just a small, insignificant human!
How could he possibly do it?
"What?"
As he was thinking this, suddenly Sun Hongwei's eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open!
In that instant, Ye Qiu actually!
Actually leaped into the sea!
Before this, Sun Hongwei had only speculated and never thought Ye Qiu would be so impulsive to actually jump into the sea!
The whirlpool was right next to him!
That terrifying sea whirlpool!
"This..." Sun Hongwei was anxious, wanting to stop Ye Qiu but had no way to do so!
At this point, the fishing boat had already reached the edge of the whirlpool!
Under the strong pull, the entire boat shook more violently, seeming as if it would fall apart at any moment!
"Ye Qiu!"
"Brother Ye, what are you doing?"
"Have you lost your mind?"
The other fishermen also noticed Ye Qiu's actions and all shouted anxiously.
Even though they knew they were about to face Death God's verdict, they didn't want to see Ye Qiu rush to his death like this!
However, the three fishermen with the surname Zhou exchanged glances and couldn't help but grin!
"This guy named Ye Qiu, in the end, is just a fool, all brawn and no brain. Jumping into the sea now, he'll surely be sucked into the whirlpool and torn apart. He still wants to escape?"
"Heh, he'll die an even worse death than we will. The worse he dies, the better!"
"Wasn't he very cocky when he killed those sharks and didn't give us any shark fins? Why isn't he showing off now? Trash! Let's see him steer the boat out of the whirlpool's pull now!"
"Just a small human, really thinking he's a hero?"
The three fishermen with the surname Zhou whispered among themselves, their eyes full of anticipation. They also knew they wouldn't survive such a natural disaster, but they hated Ye Qiu so much that they naturally hoped for Ye Qiu to suffer a worse fate!
To these three, if Ye Qiu died more miserably than they did, that would be enough!
What made Ye Qiu so arrogant before?
What made Ye Qiu so boastful before?
What made Ye Qiu not share the shark fins with them before?
People like him deserved death!
"Heh heh heh! Heh heh heh!" The more the fisherman with the surname Zhou thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't resist, braving the storm to the edge of the fishing boat, wanting to watch Ye Qiu meet his end!
The other two fishermen who hated Ye Qiu followed along!
However, just as the three reached the edge of the deck, in the next moment, their faces froze!
The fishing boat that was about to be sucked into the whirlpool was actually...
It actually began to slowly move away from the whirlpool!
