The first person found during the search and rescue was a woman, not Xing Datong and the others.

A strange theory proves that women can survive longer than men under the same conditions of hunger and cold. Unfortunately, this theory cannot be applied to these female stowaways.

The women entered the container, each carrying water. Only some of them had no food, and others had more or less snacks, especially the two pregnant women who had the most snacks. Xing Datong, through some strange tricks, gave Qin Anni a bunch of chocolate bars and a few cans of Red Bull.

Of course, the food and water were only enough to last for two days. Amid the hunger and cold, women's penny-pinching instincts fully manifested themselves. If they had not tried to ensure two pregnant women and one child, they would have been able to walk out of the container standing.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom, wake up, mom..."

Qin Nana couldn't bear her daughter's suffering. Starting yesterday, she secretly distributed her share of food to her daughter. Today, they all ran out of food, leaving only a little water for two pregnant women and a child. She endured hunger and thirst for two days and finally passed out.

In the past, Qin Anni woke up after not seeing her mother for a long time, and cried in fear. Moman was hungry and thirsty, and she didn't have the strength to comfort her. It was similar to other women. Crying is contagious. Two pregnant women started crying after her, and new people soon joined in.

, the container was very lively. However, only Qin Anni and the two pregnant women cried loudly.

"Did you hear that?"

"It seems like a woman is crying?"

"I didn't hear you. Have you been missing women for a long time at sea?"

Li Dongmin and Liu Xicai opened the way and boarded the top of the tall container of the second container ship. After taking a few steps, they suddenly stopped. The search time for the first container ship was very short. Huang Yafa and several senior seamen distinguished the stacking of containers.

Due to the situation, it was determined that the stowaways could not be on it. Ye Te followed his good intentions and hurriedly switched to this one.

"Quiet, stay where you are!"

Ye Te didn't listen to the sound deliberately. He was thinking about how to evacuate after the search and rescue was successful. The ship's full of containers were stacked almost as high as the bridge. It hurt to look at it. Moreover, there was no elevator on the bridge. Everyone carried it on their shoulders and carried it in their hands.

It took a lot of effort to get the first aid supplies up the stairs. To get to the top of the container, we had to build wooden planks from the bridge. Obviously, it was impossible to let the dying stowaways walk on a single-plank bridge and go down several flights of stairs.

At half past twenty, Lao Ye's time, the wind picked up at night, and the sound of the waves hitting the hull was a bit loud. A group of people put down the first aid supplies and listened with bated breath. About a minute later, Ye Te also faintly heard what sounded like a woman crying.

Not sure if it's the wind's whimpering or really crying.

"Over there!" Liu Xicai shouted, trotting around a few scattered containers and heading to the starboard side.

Most of the people rushed forward and pulled down several boxes of first aid supplies. Ye Te smiled bitterly and shook his head. He went to pick up the largest box, but someone beat him to it. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was Xiao Pao Zhang Xiaobo. After the argument, the two

No one said anything. Yete nodded to him and went to pick up another box.

"Sir, if your eyes are in the dark for a long time, they'd better wear a blindfold." Zhang Xiaobo said.

Ye Te nodded again and said, "Well, it's a problem, and the doctor should be able to handle it."

Even though it was half past nine at night, the sun was still shining and the light was dazzling. The treatment plan was based on the opinions of two part-time doctors, not arbitrary.

"Found it, boss! Found it..."

Li Dongmin came to report the news and snatched the box from Ye Te's hand. During the break, this guy didn't care about Ye Te at all. Ye Te suppressed his excitement and said with a smile: "Your ears are also good, but the cannon is more powerful."

"That guy is crazy about women, he's so blind!" Li Dongmin fought for the upper hand in big and small matters.

After bypassing the first few 40-foot high cabinets, a row of 20-foot flat-bottomed cabinets near the forecastle were filled with sailors wearing training uniforms. Someone shouted: "People inside, don't be afraid. Please close your eyes.

We will open the door soon, please close your eyes." Repeat the same words in English.

The four door bolts of the 20-foot flat-bottomed cabinet were unlocked, and the two doors opened outwards. A little girl with tears streaming down her face came into view.

"Save my mother, save my mother..."

The little girl spoke Mandarin, cried twice and passed away in shock.

Two part-time doctors led several people into the container and started rescuing them. Someone outside kept delivering first aid kits, emergency lights, blankets, etc. The materials were well prepared. They specially made salt and sugar water and brought a large insulated bucket.

Without Ye Te's command, the people who did not participate in the rescue were busy in all directions and went to open the surrounding containers. Ye Te was about to open a container when Huang Yafa said from a distance: "There won't be anyone there, sir. Look at the anchor lock, it's not locked.

The locked containers were piled up in a hurry."

The containers on the ship were not just for children to build building blocks, but were fixed with locks. Ye Te opened the fixed container anyway, and sure enough, it was full of small hardware packaging boxes. Huang Yafa's judgment made sense, as he could see from the container where someone had just been found.

Ye Te called Huang Yafa to him and asked: "Old Huang, can this ship sail to the Panamanian ship?" There was no other reason why the Panamanian ship was used as the base camp. The ship was large enough and left the port not long ago, and there was sufficient fresh water and living supplies.

"Sir, do you want to lift people directly onto the Panamanian ship?" Huang Yafa touched his chin and muttered, "The waves of half a meter are a bit big. This ship has been idle for many days. I wonder what the power situation is like? It is fully loaded and it is not easy to turn around. Hmm.

, to be on the safe side, I recommend using a tugboat to tow the Panamanian ship.”

"Sir, I'll drive the tugboat!" Xiao Yue volunteered. Whether he was afraid of the corpse or wanted to grab the credit, he cooperated with Ye Te to open the container and has been a follower.

"You drive the tugboat, and I drive the small warship?" Ye Te rolled his eyes at him and turned to Huang Yafa, "You are responsible for this matter. You can choose the personnel. Do it right away. I hope to see the best result."

"Promise to complete the task!" Huang Yafa stood at attention and saluted, walked forward and gave Xiao Yue the middle finger.

Ye Te pretended not to see the salute and the middle finger, and walked to the container door by himself. The veterans suppressed the non-veterans, and the two camps were clearly differentiated. It was a coincidence today that Huang Yafa, a non-veteran, showed up, which was just a balance.

"Sir, there are thirty-one women, two of whom are pregnant. Their vital signs are all stable, and there is basically no danger."

The part-time doctor reported that the situation was much better than expected. In the container, first aid was focused on the woman in shock. The woman who was able to move had already put on a blanket and drank hot salt and sugar water. The little girl also woke up and drank salt.

While drinking sugar, he opened his big eyes and looked at Ye Te.

"Who are you?"

"I am Yette, who are you?"

"I'm Qin Anni."

"Hello, Annie. Please help me. Do you know how many people were packed into the container and how many containers were packed into it?"

"Hmm, a lot of people. Hmm...five? Hmm...six? I, I didn't count."

"It's all us...ah, are we all Chinese?"

"It should be that many people speak Mandarin, as well as Cantonese, Hokkien, and Sichuan dialect... Well, there are..."

Ye Te took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on Qin Anni and wrapped her in a blanket. After a few words of conversation, a woman in her thirties asked aggressively: "Who are you? Where are the snakeheads? What happened outside?

?Where are the Americans?”

"Sir, we found someone in the high cabinet over there!"

Another person rushed to report the news, and Ye Te left the woman in question and left, saying, "Doctor, follow me. Work quickly here, tie up the infusion tube, and leave two people to look after her."

"I am Cao! They are all dead, they are all dead!"

When I passed by a 45-foot high cabinet, two guys jumped out, like rabbits chased by dogs, and bumped into Li Dongmin who came to the door. Ye Te saw it from a distance, and his heart pounded. He was also afraid of cannibalism.

The scene moves slowly and slowly.

"You bastards, you're all blind!" Li Dongmin yelled in a loud voice, "You are afraid of the dead, but you are not afraid of the living. Okay, you stand at the front in the war."

The two "rabbits" looked miserable, as if they were about to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

Ye Te turned a blind eye to this kind of thing and walked straight to the door of the container. The situation inside did not look scary. People were gathered together into several large weights, hugging each other to keep warm. The one who was left alone was a middle-aged Taoist priest, cross-legged and carrying his luggage.

They meditated. But no one’s eyes were open, and the Taoist priest’s head was drooped on his shoulders.

"Five on my side, how many on your side?"

"Six, six."

Where there are rabbits, there are wolves. Not all the people who entered the container ran away. Zhang Xiaobo and Su Ming tested the living and dead one by one. The doctor who followed them went in, and Ye Te asked nervously: "How many people are there in total?"

Zhang Xiaobo's face turned pale and he was speechless. Su Ming said sadly: "Of the total forty-eight people, eleven are dead." But Ye Te breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the two guys were counting the living!

"Ugh..." Zhang Xiaobo couldn't hold it any longer, so he quickly took out a plastic bag and vomited next to the door.

Ye Te patted him on the shoulder, carried the first aid kit into the container, turned to the people outside and shouted: "Blankets, blankets, lots of blankets! Come in a few more people."

Although the sun is shining brightly outside, it is 4 or 5 degrees above zero, the humidity in the Strait is heavy and the cold is biting. Just like the three-nine days in the extreme south of the Yangtze River, it can still be cold to death. The container has been frozen for four days, which is comparable to that of a refrigerator. So many people died.

Cold is more cruel than hunger.

"Ah... help, doctor, come quickly! There is someone in this cabinet too!"

Another group of stowaways was found, and one of the two part-time doctors rushed away. Ye Te did not follow, put on a mask, and carried a stiff body to the corner of the container, praying in his heart that no more people would die. Unfortunately,

Not at all fulfilled.

"My Cao! A lot of people died over there again!" Li Dongmin came to report the news again, but he was also panicked.

Ye Te put down the eleventh body, walked out of the container and said: "The bodies... ah, victims and survivors, please don't move out of the container for the time being." He felt uncomfortable. After hearing Qin Anni's report, most of the stowaways were domestic compatriots who had not escaped.

.

Xing Datong knew nothing about everything that happened so close. Being hungry and cold consumed the most energy in his body. He fell asleep, or he might have been in shock. Until the hull of the ship suddenly vibrated, Liu Wei, who was hugging him sideways, rolled over, and he was pressed underneath.

, woke up all of a sudden. Gradually, his ears heard the sound of the motor and the noise outside, and the sound of moving above his head. When he was excited, his brain short-circuited. He instinctively opened his mouth to shout, and after a few oohs, he remembered what to do. He was relieved.

He boldly drank up the rest of the Red Bull in one gulp, opened the lid, and started the life-saving work of lighting up the lighter.

"Bang!"

There were only four lighters left, and the third one successfully detonated, and finally heard a response from above.

"Is there anyone down there? If you can't shout, please repeat the explosion just now so that we can confirm it!"

Mandarin, just like Tianyin's Mandarin. Xing Datong was filled with joy and anger, the paper was gone, and the lighter in his hand that was used as a tinder could not be ignited. He made another anxious ooh, and when he saw the empty Red Bull can, he got wise and grabbed it.

Knock on the siding.

"Very good! We know you are down there. Anyone else? Is there anyone else? If so, please knock a few more times."

Xing Datong looked around the container and could hear faint breathing, but only the hands and feet of the poor mandarin duck could move. Liu Bo lay at his feet like a dead dog. After knocking the empty Red Bull can three times, his tears flowed into his eyes.
