Chapter 805 - The Story of Ling and Heng (68) (1/2)

Feng Ling followed Qiao Fei as they rushed towards the sea.

A helicopter had already approached and was gradually descending to the surface of the water.

The rescue ships and vehicles dispatched by the US military were also stationed nearby.

The cruise had already travelled more than two thousand miles; the fire on the cruise was spreading rapidly. Initially, they could only see the thick black fumes above the cruise. By the time the rescue team descended, the flames at the rear end of the ship were prominent.

Several of the terrorists in-charge of moving Mr. Ted’s family had jumped off of the boat and into the water as an attempt to escape.

However, Mr. Ted and his family were nowhere within sight; it was likely they were trapped in the cruise cabin awaiting death.

The US military’s rescue ships were cooperating with their rescue team’s helicopter and preparing to approach. However, the strong wind caused the ships to sway heavily, affecting their movements.

At this moment, the rescue team leader’s voice could be heard through the headset: “Report, the wind is too strong right now. It’s impossible for us to board the cruise to save the victims. The rescue team is requesting for the rafts to be released. Command center, please inform the military rescue members to put on their life vests and be on standby. My team members shall immediately take the necessary measures to board the ship and rescue the victims; we need to retrieve them before the fire worsens.”

The command center immediately informed the rescue boat sent by the military.

Feng Ling and Qiao Fei had already boarded the nearest military rescue ship. Although the ship could not approach, the two had their gaze fixed firmly on the cruise. They were awaiting their next orders.

Very quickly, an orange raft that could fit more than ten people was thrown off of the rescue shift. Two rescue team members jumped off of the helicopters and landed smoothly. They immediately began another attempt to approach the cruise surrounded by thick smoke.

By now, they could not see anyone aboard the ship. However, Mr. Ted and his family were still inside, and their situation was unclear.

Qiao Fei and Feng Ling sat on the other raft thrown out by the rescue ship and also began their approach.

After two to three minutes, they finally leaned close to the cruise. Everyone quickly climbed up the sides. They held onto anything they could grip against and forced their bodies upward, successfully climbing aboard the burning cruise ship.

The rescue team’s helicopter was still circling around them in the sky, awaiting the next set of orders. After all, with the way the cruise was currently burning, the helicopter would only bring undesired risks if it leaned too close.

Feng Ling, Qiao Fei and the rescue team members were wearing gas masks. They headed off in four separate directions and charged in through the various entrances into the cabin.

There were six floors in this cabin; every floor was around three to four hundred square meters wide. They needed to expend a lot of effort to look for the people through the thick smoke.

After entering, Feng Ling immediately charged upstairs while the rest began searching from the first floor. They needed to search through any corner the family could possibly be hidden in.
