Chapter 150 The Jinfan thief was injured, and the eldest lady shed tears
The lookout hand rushed over.
"Report to the Chief Manager, a storm from the south is about to land on the island."
What?!
Another storm?
In fact, the lookout did not tell the whole story. Baimao Island is surrounded by storm zones, and they happened to be in the eye of the typhoon.
Previously, the northern end of the typhoon passed through, but now the southern end is coming one after another, and the sky gets dark in the blink of an eye.
The situation was urgent, Zhang Cheng quickly issued an order and all personnel returned to the woods.
But on the beach, the soldiers inspecting the ship were not aware of the danger yet, and still gathered around the ship to check.
When the horn sounded for everyone to assemble, the southern end of the typhoon had already landed on the island.
The wind speed is faster and the power is stronger.
The personnel of the Royal Navy and Yizhou Navy panicked and ran towards the woods one after another.
Cao Ang and Cao Wan ran after him, but the beach was slippery, and Cao Wan fell down before he could even take two steps.
The house leaked and it rained all night, so the eldest lady sprained her foot.
Cao Ang wanted to die, but his life was at stake, so he picked up his sister without hesitation and planned to escape to the woods.
But this is at least a few hundred steps away from the woods, and Cao Wan cannot go any faster with him.
There was almost no one on the beach, and most of the sailors were running towards the woods. How could they care about others?
Based on the color of the sky and the speed of the wind, Cao Ang didn't think he could run into the woods before the storm arrived. With the intensity of the storm, there was a high probability that he and his sister would be blown up into the sky by the storm.
Just look at those ships and you will know how terrifying the wind is.
At the desperate moment, one person grabbed Cao Ang and pointed at the Overlord behind him.
"Go up!"
At this moment, Cao Ang was enlightened.
The Overlord is dozens of steps away. Although there is no springboard, the net rope hangs from the side of the ship. As long as you climb up, the inner cabin will be safe.
Gan Ning lowered his body and shouted: "I'll carry her, you go up and help first!"
In a race against time, Cao Ang knew that what Gan Ning said was correct. The opponent's physical strength was much stronger than his own.
He put his sister on Gan Ning's back and said, "Hold him tight and don't let go!"
After saying that, sprint towards the Overlord.
Gan Ning held Cao Wan's hips with the back of his hands, took a deep breath, and ran wildly.
Tide, sand and wind are once again raging on Baimao Island.
Cao Ang took the lead in climbing onto the Overlord using his hands and feet, while Gan Ning also began to climb up the rope net with both hands.
A strong wind blew by, and the rope net suddenly floated up. Gan and Cao were like two grasshoppers attached to the leaves, floating in the wind.
"Ahhhh!"
Losing his balance, Cao Wan screamed in fright and hugged Gan Ning's neck tightly.
Gan Ning was choked and almost out of breath, but his hands were like iron hoops holding onto the rope net.
Until the wind weakened, it hit the side of the ship with a "bang" sound.
Cao Wan was okay, but Gan Ning, who was being used as a human shield, had a surge of energy and blood. His throat felt sweet and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Cao Ang's heart kept hanging, and he could only encourage loudly: "Quickly, climb up, climb up a little more, and I will pull you up."
Gan Ning's lungs were about to explode, and he climbed up step by step with willpower.
The wind became more and more violent, and the huge hull of the Overlord also swayed. Every step Gan Ning climbed was burning his own potential.
Finally, his left hand rested on the side of the ship.
"Stronger, come up!"
Cao Ang tried his best to drag Gan Ning, but he couldn't drag the two of them, and Gan Ning had no strength.
Gan Ning looked at Cao Ang and said with difficulty: "Take her away..."
Another gust of wind passed by, and Cao Wan was so frightened that she cried loudly.
After all, she was only fourteen years old and had been pampered all her life. Suddenly she was in a life-or-death situation where the world was about to collapse, so fear was inevitable.
Cao Ang did not dare to delay any longer, so he reached out and grabbed his sister's shoulders and dragged her onto the deck.
When he turned around and went to Laganning again, he found that there was no one on the side of the ship.
Cao Ang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly leaned down and looked down. The water surface was swollen, but he saw nothing.
The rain is pouring and a storm is imminent.
Gritting his teeth, Cao Ang picked up his sister, stumbled to the captain's room, opened the wooden door, and got in.
A huge wave was blown up by the strong wind and hit the Overlord. The captain's room was almost filled with sea water.
"Cough cough cough..."
Cao Ang managed to avoid choking to death, so he took advantage of the sea water to retreat, moved to the door, closed it, and held it firmly with his back.
Cao Wan crawled over, hugged Cao Ang's arm tightly, and put her head into her brother's arms.
"Brother, I'm afraid, I want to go home..."
"Don't be afraid, Awan, brother is here, it's okay!"
Selecting the best quality wood, gathering hundreds of top craftsmen, taking half a year and spending millions to build the Shang-class Overlord, it withstood the ravages of another super storm.
In the woods, Xia Houyuan and Cai He regretted not watching Cao Ang and Cao Wan.
The two thought that the storm had passed and were busy sorting out the personnel on each ship, but they missed the two lively and curious brothers and sisters.
When the sailor who returned to the woods mentioned that he had seen the eldest young lady on the beach, the storm was already under his hood.
Cai He searched the beach with his binoculars, but found no one there.
The reality that both the lord's and his children died made him and Xia Houyuan extremely fearful and regretful.
Ji Ling also had similar feelings, and Gan Ning, the commander of the Royal Navy, also disappeared.
When they planned to force their subordinates to search the beach, they were stopped by Zhang Cheng.
The reason is very simple. If you go out at this time, you will die without rebirth.
The three of them did not persist. After all, in such bad weather, the chances of finding someone to save them were extremely slim.
Just wait and suffer.
Time seemed to freeze, and another storm hit, causing the tense and depressed emotions in the woods to soar rapidly.
Many soldiers who did not understand the principles of typhoons thought they had offended the gods and sea monsters, so they knelt on the ground and prayed to God.
When the clouds clear, the wind stops, and the rain settles, the voice of prayer gradually subsides.
Without waiting for Zhang Cheng's order, Xia Houyuan was the first to rush out of the woods, shouting and searching on the beach covered with weeds, seaweed, dead fish and shrimps, as well as among large and small boats.
The lookout hand climbed to the top of the mountain again and looked around.
Just when Xia Houyuan was shouting and his voice was hoarse, Cao Ang's voice came from above.
"Second uncle, we are fine."
Just like a long drought brings rain, Xia Houyuan jumped up to the rope net with a single step.
I climbed onto the Overlord in threes and twos and held my nephew and niece in my arms.
Damn, this is so scary!
Damn Cai He, just wait!
Cao Ang was worried about Gan Ning's safety, so he said: "Second uncle, it was Gan Ning who saved us. He didn't come up and fell..."
Is it that little thief again?
Xia Houyuan was stunned.
Receive favors, twice, three lives!
Although he had no hope, Xia Houyuan still ordered the Yizhou Navy to carefully search every corner of the beach, and even used telescopes to search the sea inch by inch.
Because Cao Wanwei sprained her foot and was not treated in time, her ankle is now swollen like a big steamed bun.
However, the military doctors of the Yongzhou Navy are quite experienced and confirmed that no bones were injured. They can just rest for a few days.
Seeing that both brothers and sisters had superficial wounds, Xia Houyuan felt relieved, ordered two guards to protect them closely, and hurriedly got off the Overlord.
Just when Xia Houyuan stepped on the rope net and entered the water, he seemed to have tripped under his feet.
I kicked it subconsciously.
