Chapter 289 Life Raft

"The boat is leaking! Master gu, our boat is leaking!"

"What did you say?!"

Gu mohan pushed him away, ran out of the door, rushed out of the cabin and onto the deck. Sure enough, he saw another crew member on the ship holding a canvas and some tools trying to block a crack in the water gushing into the ship.

"What happened? How can a yacht like this leak?" Gu mohan turned his head and asked when he saw the crew coming up behind him.

Although gu mohan didn't know much about boats, he could tell from a glance at the place where they were parked that the boats they were on were the best of all, and this was prepared for ye zhiqiao by yi chen, so he must have paid great attention to it.

Just as the crew was about to answer, they caught a glimpse of another crack on the deck and quickly grabbed a piece of canvas. As they folded the canvas and stuffed it into the crack, they explained, "Young master yi ordered the boat to be modified. Perhaps the modified people only considered beauty and comfort, not safety... But even so, if it wasn't for today's storm, nothing would have happened. Question."

Gu mohan stood up and looked at him from afar, but he could only see a chaotic dark gray. The turbulent air currents swept past him, creating a cold feeling like a winter wind passing by.

"Is there a way to fix it?" He calmed down with a cool breeze and asked.

"There are no tools on board to repair the cracks. We can only buy time by stuffing them with cloth and pouring water out." The crew shook their heads in disappointment and continued, "We can only pray for the storm to abate and the ship to get ashore quickly. Otherwise, we will have to abandon the ship."

"After abandoning the ship?" Gu mohan asked with a frown.

"We have a life raft that can hold two people. The rest of us... Have to swim back on our own."

Swim back? Just now, they reported that they could reach the port within a few hundred meters. Besides ye zhiqiao, they were all men and could swim, which was not difficult, but the current wind was too strong, which was a problem.

Both of them looked serious and were considering the possibility of swimming out of the hundreds of meters. At this moment, the doctor in the cabin suddenly ran out and shouted, "Master gu, miss ye has fainted again!"

Gu mohan's heart tightened. He turned around and ran back, asking, "Are you vomiting again?" At this moment, the yacht was in a mess, and it was certain that ye zhiqiao could not hold it.

The doctor quickly followed and said anxiously, "Yes, but her temperature is almost 40 degrees now. Plus, the fever has lasted so long, I think we must send her to the hospital immediately. If we delay any longer, I can't guarantee what will happen!"

"Zhiqiao..."

Gu mohan pounced on the side of the bed and reached out to touch ye zhiqiao's forehead. He could feel the burning of her skin without even touching it with a thermometer. Moreover, she seemed to be confused and her pale little face was wrinkled together. No matter how gu mohan called her, she did not respond.

"Don't you have any fever medicine? Regardless of whether she vomited or not, can't you eat it first?" Gu mohan knelt on the edge of the bed and asked anxiously.

The doctor spread his hands in front of him and said in a trembling voice, "She... She can't even drink water now. How can she take the medicine?"

"Then what should we do?! No, no, no. You can't even save a fever. What am I looking for you for?!" Gu mohan kicked the chair away and pointed at the doctor.

He had endured for a long time, nervous, anxious, worried, panic... This extremely uneasy mood tightly wrapped around him. Previously, because ye zhiqiao was awake, he did not dare to show that he was afraid of ye zhiqiao's worry, but at this moment, ye zhiqiao's situation was so dangerous, he could not calm down no matter what!

Faced with his accusations, the doctors had no choice, and even the doctors could not guarantee that every patient would be cured, not to mention in such a situation where there was no medicine, no equipment, and even no guarantee of life safety.

The crew members who followed in understood the current situation. Seeing that gu Mohan and the doctor were both anxious and helpless, they offered, "President gu, otherwise... You and miss ye will follow what we discussed earlier and leave on the life raft. We can't pinpoint the location, but we can still get a rough idea of the direction. The boat is leaking more and more seriously, and I don't think we can move until the storm is over. Instead of letting fate take its course here, we should try to get out!"

"But..." Gu mohan couldn't bear to look at ye zhiqiao, who was talking nonsense, and then asked, "The wind is so strong. What if something happened to the life raft? She can't swim when she's awake, and she's afraid of water..."

"Put the life jacket on miss ye. There are several life jackets on the boat. We have to put them on." The crew looked at gu mohan first, then turned to the doctor.

Yes, and a life jacket!

If it was normal times, gu mohan would have thought of this, but now that he was in a hurry, he had forgotten such an important thing.

"Okay, that's it!" Since there is a way, whether it succeeds or not, it is better than waiting for death.

Thus, with the help of two crew members and doctors, gu mohan carried ye zhiqiao onto the life raft.

Sitting on a life raft, gu mohan waved at the three people on the high yacht. Although he was not sure that his trip would go well, he still raised his voice and said, "I'll send her to the hospital and send someone to rescue you right away!"

After that, he activated the forward gear on the life raft, and the orange-red life raft slowly began to move across the gust of wind. Ye zhiqiao, lying on her side in a curled position, occupied most of the area of the life raft. Even so, from her expression and occasional moans, she could still feel the pain at this time.

But no matter how much gu mohan's heart ached, he could not hug her and comfort her at this moment.

Because of the storm, it was difficult to control the direction of the lifeboat. Although gu mohan tried his best to control it, the lifeboat was inevitably blown sideways by the wind. The distance from their position to the port was not more than a kilometer, but if the ship was tilted forward, the final distance could be doubled or more! Gu mohan absolutely did not dare to take this risk, so he had to keep an eye on the direction of the ship.

In the endless dark and treacherous sea, a life raft was simply too small to exist, as if the sand in the desert would easily disappear, and their life raft, soon lost contact with the yacht, and walked alone in the whistling wind.

The boat was small, and the speed of the journey was naturally not comparable to that of the yacht. Gu mohan felt that he had been walking for a long time, but the surrounding sea was still completely devoid of novelty, as if there was only boundless darkness left except for the sea.
