Chapter 1091
The people in the cockpit immediately gripped the handrails tightly and pressed their bodies against the wall.
Zhou Shuwan was held tightly in Qi Mingyu's arms, his arms as strong as steel, separating her from the violent shaking.
She could clearly hear his steady heartbeat, which made her tense nerves relax a little.
As time went on, the enormous wall of water became clearer and clearer.
Like a roaring dragon, it swept across the sea with a destructive force.
The white waves, like bursting bubbles, were swept up and thrown down by tremendous force.
Zhou Shuwan could clearly "see" the central area of the water wall, where the impact was strongest.
"Captain! The impact of the water wall is strongest at its center. We can adjust our course to the east to avoid the central area!"
The area to the east is where the water wall's force is weakest.
Captain Chen immediately ordered: "Continue to turn left by ten degrees, full speed ahead, and avoid the center of the wall of water!"
The massive mothership continued to turn, with the destroyers and other ships following closely behind.
Just then, the water wall drew near, casting a massive shadow over the entire fleet.
"Boom——!"
The enormous impact slammed into the mothership.
A deafening roar erupted, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.
The mothership began to shake violently, and the instruments in the cockpit sounded alarms one after another, with red warning lights flashing incessantly and emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
The seawater outside the window instantly flooded the porthole and the hull, turning the whole world into a murky blue. All that could be heard was the roar of the water and the grating sound of metal twisting.
Zhou Shuwan felt as if she had been thrown up by an invisible hand and then fell heavily back down. If Qi Mingyu hadn't been holding her tightly, she probably would have been flung away long ago.
She bit her lip hard, tasting a faint metallic flavor of blood. Everything in her vision was shaking violently, making it impossible to focus.
But by this time, thanks to its sturdy steel body and precise course adjustments, the mother had barely managed to avoid the center of the water wall.
The mothership was at the very front of the entire fleet. The wall of water surged past it, raising it more than ten meters high, before burying it inside the wall of water.
The immense shock and pressure left everyone struggling to stay afloat.
Therefore, they did not see that the entire fleet behind them was "blasted" into the water wall.
Most ships, like motherships, were fortunate; the water wall simply tossed them up and down.
However, one of the cargo ships in the fleet, unable to turn in time, crashed right into the center of the wall of water.
A tremendous bang!
The ship was lifted up like a toy, its hull snapped instantly, and its cargo spilled out into the sea.
The more than twenty crew members in charge of the ship also fell into the water.
Immediately afterwards, two more cruise ships were unable to dodge and were hit by the wall of water. The ships rocked violently, items on the deck were swept into the sea, and several crew members who could not grab onto anything in time were thrown overboard.
Huge waves crashed against the ship, making a deafening sound. The ship tilted violently, and seawater flowed down the deck like a waterfall.
The water wall lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually receding.
The sea returned to calm, but the fleet was in complete disarray.
Several ships were floating at an angle on the sea, their hulls severely damaged. Various cargoes, debris, and lifebuoys were floating on the surface, and some crew members wearing life jackets were struggling in the water.
"Turn around immediately! Rescue the people and cargo that have fallen into the water!" Captain Chen shouted the order.
The fleet quickly turned around, and rescue operations were immediately launched.
The cruiser's crew lowered lifeboats and headed towards the people who had fallen into the water, leaving white trails on the sea surface.
The crew on the mothership also sprang into action, trying to salvage as much cargo as possible before the ship sank.
Zhou Shuwan stood on the edge of the mothership's deck, watching the cargo ship slowly sinking in the distance.
