Chapter 1007
He was about to speak when Zhou Jianghai suddenly stumbled over and said, "Mumu, Xiaoyu, Wanwan is not doing well! She just had a fever and her breathing is a little rapid!"
He and Zhong Tiyun knew nothing about pathology, so they hurried over and asked Mu Mu to take a look.
Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu exchanged a glance, and Mu Mu stood up immediately: "I'll go check it out now. Dad, you stay here and help my brother-in-law control the cruise ship."
"Okay, okay..." Zhou Jianghai answered a little flustered, sitting awkwardly in the passenger seat.
Qi Mingyu turned his head and glanced at Mu Mu's leaving back.
He knew that the most appropriate approach at the moment was to let Mu Mu, a doctor, check on Wan Wan's condition, while he was better at driving and should stay here to lead everyone to avoid difficulties.
However, emotionally, he hopes that the person who passes away now is himself!
He knew that Wanwan's sudden high fever must be related to her excessive use of space.
It was so thrilling when they were escaping under the sea!
Wanwan also tried her best...
He turned his head and silently tightened the joystick in his hand.
The air in the lounge was also damp due to the impact on the deck and cabin.
Water droplets hung on the bulkhead, and the light of the emergency light flickered like a firefly trembling in the wind and rain.
The moment Mu Mu pushed open the door, she felt like something was tugging at her heart.
Zhou Shuwan lay quietly on the bed, his face flushed, his breathing rapid and weak, and fine beads of sweat on his forehead gleaming brightly under the light.
Zhong Tiyun was anxiously wiping her face with a wet towel.
Hearing the noise, he quickly turned to look at him: "Mu Mu, come and see what's going on with your sister!"
"Sister!" Mu Mu walked over quickly and put his hand on her forehead.
As soon as my fingertips touched the skin, I was shocked by the scorching temperature and my heart sank.
"What happened to her?" Zhong Tiyun stood aside anxiously, her voice trembling slightly.
Mu Mu quickly checked Zhou Shuwan's pulse and breathing, frowning: "The pulse is fast and irregular, the breathing is rapid, and the temperature is very high... It seems like an acute hyperthermia reaction."
However, the equipment on the ship was limited, and he could not find out the cause of his sister's high fever.
His gaze lingered on his sister's pale yet rosy face for a moment, and he already had a guess in his mind.
She had overused space while on the seabed, which put a huge strain on her mind and body. After being in a coma for a day or two, she developed a high fever.
"Perhaps she overdrew her mind and body too much when she used the space before, and now she is showing the symptoms." Mu Mu explained in a low voice: "But the conditions on the ship are limited. I can't do a detailed examination. I can only cool her down and replenish her fluids first."
Zhong Tiyun's eyes were full of worry, and she unconsciously held Zhou Shuwan's pale and cold hand tightly.
She didn't understand pathology, so she could only cooperate fully: "Okay, Mumu, you decide what to do!"
Mu Mu took out the thermometer from the medical box and confirmed that Zhou Shuwan's temperature was over 39°C.
It is very dangerous for adults to have a temperature above 39 degrees.
He asked his mother to continue wiping Zhou Shuwan's forehead, neck and limbs with a wet towel, trying to cool him down physically.
He himself needs to prepare the saline solution for intravenous infusion immediately.
When the infusion needle gently pierced the back of Zhou Shuwan's hand, transparent liquid slowly dripped down the infusion tube.
Mu Mu looked at the steady dripping rate and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a low roar came from a distance, like some giant beast roaring in the deep sea.
Zhong Tiyun's expression suddenly changed: "This voice...can't it be another——"
Before he could finish his words, the entire cruise ship shook violently, as if it was lifted up from the bottom of the sea by an invisible giant hand and then dropped down heavily.
The bulkhead made a harsh metallic groan and the pipes on the ceiling banged, as if they would break and fall at any time.
Mu Mu suddenly grabbed the railing beside the bed to steady himself.
A terrible thought flashed through his mind!
The second water wall impact!
"Mom, you must hold on tight! Protect my sister! I'll go out and take a look!"
He rushed out of the room and headed straight for the cockpit.
In the corridor, sea water rushed along the tilted deck, ankle-deep water rolled underfoot, and every step seemed to be fighting against the undercurrent.
The emergency lights flickered, and shadows twisted into hideous shapes on the wall.
In the cockpit, Qi Mingyu was gripping the joystick tightly, with veins bulging on his forehead.
On the sea ahead, a wall of water, even larger than the first one, was approaching at an alarming speed, and the foam rolling on the top of the waves was flashing coldly in the dim sky.
"How could it be so fast!" Mu Mu exclaimed.
"This is the second wave of the tsunami!" Qi Mingyu gritted his teeth: "It's higher than the first one, and the speed is faster!"
Mu Mu's eyes fell on the hull status monitoring screen, and his face turned pale instantly.
The gap near the fuel tank that was left by the previous violent collision was now being expanded by the continuous impact of sea water, and the red warning light was flashing wildly on the screen.
"I'll go plug the gap!" Mu Mu rushed out almost instinctively.
"Be careful!" Qi Mingyu only had time to shout out two words before Mu Mu's back disappeared at the cockpit door.
The lower deck was now submerged in water up to the calf level.
At the door of the fuel tank, the metal plates made a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound under the action of water pressure, and seawater continued to gush out of the cracks, mixed with the pungent smell of fuel.
Mu Mu gritted his teeth, pressed the waterproof rubber sheet onto the crack, and tightened the fixing bolts with a wrench.
The violent shaking of the ship caused him to lose balance and he could not control himself at all, but he never let go of his hands.
He tightened the last bolt and turned to come out from that side when suddenly a huge force hit him from the side.
The second wall of water hit the cruise ship prematurely.
The sea water was like a liquid mountain, instantly engulfing the lower deck.
Mu Mu only saw a white screen in front of his eyes, and heard the roar of water in his ears. His body was suddenly lifted up and thrown into the air.
He didn't even have time to utter a cry of surprise before he was swept off the deck and disappeared in the rolling waves.
……
In the cockpit, Qi Mingyu's face was pale, but he was still concentrating on controlling the cruise ship.
They had to avoid this second wall of water.
The impact of the second wall of water was even more violent than the first. The bow of the ship was lifted several meters high by the huge waves and then smashed down heavily.
The seawater poured down from the deck like a waterfall, and the whole ship was tossed wildly between the crests and troughs of the waves.
"Hold on!" Qi Mingyu growled.
His eyes were fixed on the front. The waves came like countless walls of water, lifting the bow of the ship up again and again and then smashing it down again.
"Ten degrees right!" he growled.
Zhou Jianghai frantically pushed the steering wheel, his forehead covered in sweat: "Right rudder ten degrees..."
Every turn is like dancing on the edge of a knife.
If the angle is slightly off, the boat will be overturned by the horizontal waves.
Qi Mingyu's hands turned white from the force.
At such a critical moment of life and death, he had no energy to think about anything else, and he didn't notice that Mu Mu had already been swallowed by the sea.
