The fire disaster had already begun!
Why did he not notice anything?
Shen Lang sat up from the canoe and looked around.
In the early morning, the sea was filled with smoke, and visibility was less than 20 meters.
He drifted for an entire night and had no idea where he was.
But what was certain was that the fire did not happen on the canoe.
In order to prevent any potential danger, Shen Lang did not even bring a lighter. He even placed the flashlight separately with the battery plugged in.
At this moment, there was no movement on the canoe.
Shen Lang could not help but ask the system.
"System, has the fire started? Why didn't I see it?"
Host, this fire disaster is an established event and is currently happening. Host, please do your best to deal with it.
"No, I'm asking you where the fire is. You can't possibly start a fire in the sea, right? According to the current situation, if I continue to wait for 6 hours, won't I be able to survive the calamity?”
Host, this fire disaster is an established event and is currently happening. Host, please do your best to deal with it.
"F * ck, I'm asking you a question. Can you change your lines?”
Host, this fire disaster is an established event and is currently happening. Host, please do your best to deal with it.
"Get lost!"
Shen Lang cursed and turned off the system.
No matter how much he asked, the system only replied with this sentence. There was no difference between asking and not asking.
However, the system's words made Shen Lang alert.
What was an established event? It was something that should have happened in the first place. After a given event, it would become a given fact and would not change because of certain factors.
Could it be that even if I didn't come to the sea, there would definitely be a fire in the sea?
Thinking of this, Shen Lang's hair stood on end.
If there was a fire in the sea, there were only two possibilities.
1. Leaking oil wells at sea.
Two: A fire on a ship at sea.
Shen Lang could first rule out the possibility of an oil well leaking. Great Xia's oil wells were 1000 kilometers away from the coastline.
It was impossible for him to drift to the area of the oil well in one night.
There was only one possibility left…
The ship caught fire!
"Woo! Wu! Wu…"
Just as he thought of this, a loud whistle sounded!
There was indeed a ship passing by!
Shen Lang suddenly jumped up and almost fell into the sea. He leaned on the handle of the kayak and looked at the place where the whistle sounded.
A giant oil tank broke through the fog and appeared in front of Shen Lang.
He was stunned!
He never expected that the third disaster would actually happen on a giant oil tank.
This was a f * cking oil ship, not a cruise ship, and definitely not a cruise ship!
It was a giant natural gas oil tank with a capacity of more than 10,000 tons!
Shen Lang scratched his head and felt like he was about to explode.
Fire Disaster!
The third disaster was actually an oil tank explosion?
He realized that if the giant oil tank in front of him exploded, the area within a few kilometers would be enveloped in a mushroom cloud. At that time, there was no need to talk about nine out of ten deaths. It was simply death!
It was only at this moment that he realized how ridiculous it was to prepare fire-fighting equipment in advance.
When Shen Lang thought of this, he could not care less and shouted at the oil tank.
……
At the same time, the crew on the behemoth did not realize that danger was approaching.
The Viking was a large natural gas tanker registered in Singapore with a maximum capacity of 150,000 tons.
There were 36 crew members on the ship, most of whom were from Great Xia, and a few from other countries.
At this moment, they had just set off from the East China Sea port on the Viking, pulling a full load of natural gas and rushing to Austria to unload it.
On the deck, Captain Wang Zhao had gathered all the crew members for a meeting.
"Everyone, quiet down. I have a few things to say!”
Captain Wang Zhao shouted. Looking at the 35 crew members in front of him, he felt a headache.
As the voyage was too long and they could not return home, the crew was particularly mobile.
Only 30 people could barely operate such a large oil tank.
Among them, many of them were new employees who had just signed the contract and boarded the ship. They did not know anything.
If not for the fact that the chief officer was his brother-in-law and could help out a little, it would be very difficult to manage this group of people.
"Brother Wang, say it. I'm still cooking. Hurry up and say it before I go back!”
The chef, Old Xie, leaned against the railing and picked his nose as he said indifferently.
Everyone felt disgusted and lost the mood to eat breakfast.
"Yes, brother-in-law, tell us. We're all listening.”"Hehe, is the first mate too tired to hold on? Did he go out to have fun last night?”
"Get lost. You said that there were police officers at that place who checked the room at night and almost arrested me!”
"Hahahaha…"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Wang Zhao looked at his brother-in-law, Li Qing, and was speechless. This guy was almost forty years old, yet he still hadn't found a wife.
He earned money every day and spent money like dirt, making his sister worried.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Zhao cleared his throat.
"Alright, stop joking! I have a few things to say. After that, we will disperse. Everyone will go about their own business.”
"First of all, we have ten new crew members on the Viking this time. They are all young men who have passed the company's training.”
After a burst of applause, the ten young men who had just boarded the ship nervously introduced themselves to everyone.
The old crew members responded to him but did not say anything. After returning from a long voyage, 90% of them had resigned.
Wang Zhao saw that everyone's interest was lacking, so he went straight to the second matter.
"This is our first time going to Austria to unload natural gas. We're not familiar with the route. Li Qing, you have to worry about it.”
"Don't worry, brother-in-law!"
"Get lost, call me captain!" Wang Zhao angrily scolded him, but he couldn't be bothered with him.
"One last thing, Chief, take a few mechanics to see if the valve of the third cabin is closed. I couldn't sleep well last night and kept feeling that it wasn't closed tightly.”
The Viking's main engineer, Fang Yuan, nodded.
"No problem, Captain. I've been thinking about this too. Little Qin, who was in charge of the third cabin, didn't board this time and quit before he finished handing over his work.”Wang Zhao was relieved. Fang Yuan was experienced and prudent, and he would usually not abandon the things that were given to him.
"Alright! If there's nothing else, let's work together. After this run, I'll treat everyone to a foot massage!”
Everyone burst into laughter. Just as they were about to return to their posts, they suddenly heard Chef Xie exclaim.
"D * mn, everyone, come quickly. Look, why are there people down there!？”
"What?"
Captain Wang Zhao had yet to return to his office when he hurriedly ran over.
He looked up and saw a guy shouting crazily on the canoe at the bottom of the oil tank.
"Hey, the people above! Hurry up and pull me up!"
Shen Lang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was finally someone on the deck.
Fifteen minutes had passed since the fire started!
