Chapter 134: Chapter 114: Saving People and the Ship

Master Zhou put on the life jacket and wanted to board 001, but Han Yu did not agree.

Master Zhou became anxious, tugging at him and said, "I’ve been piloting boats for decades, there’s no storm I haven’t seen."

Yes, you’ve been piloting boats for many years, but they are only small ferries, and mainly on Bailong River.

The little turbulence on Bailong River simply cannot be compared with the gusts on Yangtze North Branch Waters, and those on Yangtze North Branch Waters are nothing compared to the ones in the Titanium Warehouse Waters where we are about to conduct a rescue operation.

In fact, Bailong Port is a sheltered harbor, otherwise the waters on both sides of the Dunship would not have been designated as anchorage.

Han Yu does not believe that Master Zhou, at his age, can withstand it.

More importantly, as the person in charge of the Law Enforcement Boat Team of Yanjiang Police Station, he now has to consider not only taking 001 to the rescue, but also the safety of the Dunship, 002, the floating bridge, and the two boats Boss Wu found for photography in the afternoon.

"Uncle Zhou, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that the Dunship needs you more."

"What could happen on the Dunship."

"The wind is getting stronger, the speed is increasing, just now the Dunship was very stable, but now it has started to sway. Listen, 002 is colliding with the Dunship."

Han Yu handed the binoculars to Director Jin who was getting ready to board, took over the flashlight from Zhu Baogen, and turned around, "Plus, we at Port Supervision have been inspecting on the river with the port for over half a month and offended many people on the ships. If you go with us on 001, there will only be three female comrades left on the Dunship, who can feel at ease."

Master Zhou suddenly realized this was the first time the Dunship encountered such strong winds since being towed on the river, it indeed could not be left unmanned.

And there were dozens of ships anchored nearby from five or six provinces and cities, who knows whether there were bad elements on those ships.

The river is not the shore.

On shore, criminals dare to steal from the armed forces’ munitions depot and even rob the sentinel’s gun, now with everyone aboard knowing there are guns on the Dunship, who can guarantee those people won’t get bad ideas.

Leaving only three female comrades to guard the Dunship is not very safe.

Master Zhou is both an old employee of the ship lock management office and a veteran party member, how could he not know what’s more important; he hastily said, "I understand, I’ll stay on the Dunship."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

"What’s there to thank for, you hurry up to 001."

"The boat needs time to heat up, let’s check it first."

"Okay."

Han Yu turned on the flashlight and braved the cross winds from the river, walked to the steel floating bridge that was swaying even more intensely, shone the light on 002, which was grinding and bumping against the Dunship with the waves, and then at the connection between the floating bridge and the Dunship.

Then he checked the floating bridge section by section, especially the steel floating boxes supporting it, all the way to the supports down at the riverbank.

"Uncle Zhou, look, this part has loosened!"

"I see, I’ll go get the steel wire."

"You can’t work alone, come on, let’s go back to the ship and call the shipyard. Master Zhou is also attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow, he didn’t go back tonight, let him find a worker to come and stand guard."

"Is it appropriate to call people over so late?"

"The Dunship and the floating bridge were both built by them, with such strong wind, they are more worried than us about their safety."

"Alright, you hurry to 001, I’ll call Master Zhou."

Once the shipyard people arrive, there would be no more worries about the safety of the Dunship, the floating bridge, 002, and other ships, as well as the safety of Sister Zhu, Zhang Lan, and the senior sister.

Han Yu looked back at the duty room by the corridor, thinking of the weapons safety that the instructor had repeatedly emphasized, immediately pulled out the keys to unlock the duty room, then unlocked the iron door leading under the deck, unlocking three or four locks and opening as many doors.

Tonight there was an arrest operation, the Micro Machine Gun and the 56 Assault Rifle had both been taken away by Old Zhang and the Water Police Fourth Squad, only two confiscated Type 53 rifles and more than forty bullets remained in the gun cabinet.

He slung the rifle on his back, took the bullets, locked the door, making sure there was nothing to worry about, before climbing onto 001.

Director Wang was startled and asked in surprise, "Salted Fish, we are going to a rescue, why bring a gun."

"Reporting to Director Wang, Commander Li instructed that the person must not be separated from the gun, the gun must not be separated from the person. I am the only officer left at the station, I can’t go up to 001 and leave the gun on the Dunship."

"Is there a place for the gun on 001?"

"Yes, there’s a gun cabinet below."

"Where?"

"Here."

Han Yu pulled out the keys and unlocked the door to the crew cabin.

Director Wang had not expected the small command cabin to have such a hidden space, followed him down, looked at the gun cabinet similar to a safe, and then at the gun he had just placed, curiously asked, "What kind of gun is this, where did it come from, it seems our bureau doesn’t have this model."

"This is a Type 53 carbine, I confiscated it from a fleet during a joint inspection with Port Supervision."

"You confiscated it?"

"Yes."

"Little Salted Fish, well done."

"Director Wang, it’s not as hard as you think, they were actually quite cooperative."

Everything he had just arranged on the Dunship, Director Wang had seen and heard, secretly admiring the decision to place him in Yanjiang Police Station was the right one, it really needed a policeman who could repair and pilot ships.

Otherwise, who would’ve understood all this.

To each his own specialty, even Xu Sanye has to respect this kid’s professional opinion, no wonder Xu Sanye entrusted him with such important tasks.

"Salted Fish, the boat is heated, ready to set sail."

"Set sail then, I’ll come right up."

"Salted Fish, I’ll come up with you."

"Director Wang, I’m sorry, the pilot house is very small, after installing the Water Depth Detector, it can only fit two people."

"It’s fine, I won’t go up."

"Director Jin is also in the command cabin, he’ll keep you company."

The pilot house was indeed small, but it could still squeeze in three people.
