Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Tornado Waves

Under the reluctant guidance of the pirate, Gu Fan and his group quickly found the old base of the Pirate Gang and managed to knock out the few pirates guarding the base.

Just as the pirate said, there was a good ship filled with fuel, and they also found a lot of food and water, enough for them to use for several days.

The captain looked at the map, did some calculations, and estimated that they would be able to leave the center of the Triangle Sea Area in half a day. By then, they would truly be safe and wouldn’t need to drift back slowly, unsure of where they would end up and how long it would take.

Everyone was grateful for the pirates’ gifts. They confiscated all the weapons, untied the pirates, and left them with some food and water, enough until their comrades could rescue them.

"Thank you all. I’m really happy to have met you. If we can safely return, the first people I will thank are you." Gu Fan waved goodbye to the pirates from the deck, feeling incredibly happy. He felt like this was all part of destiny’s plan, something you could not avoid.

Although the pirates didn’t say anything as they stood on the shore, every one of them wore an expression of utter exasperation.

But Gu Fan didn’t care about that. He was leaning on the railing, savoring the sea breeze and feeling quite relieved. It was quite unexpected that so many things had happened in the few days they had been in the Triangle Sea Area. But now they could safely return, which was really great.

At this moment, Su Hui came over and handed Gu Fan a can of beer, which could be considered as spoils of war taken from the pirates.

Gu Fan expressed his gratitude, opened the can, clinked it against Su Hui’s, and then took a big swig, relishing the feeling.

After they finished their drinks, Su Hui asked, "So, what’s next? Are we just going back like this?"

Gu Fan nodded and replied, "Yes, we’re going back first. We’ve lost a lot of our supplies, so we have to go back and prepare them again."

"I understand, but have you ever thought that if all this is arranged by fate, letting us encounter so many events, knowing danger from the mist, learning about the inscription from the primitives, and now possessing what we need most, are all these arranged by fate for us to go back?" Su Hui’s words echoed in Gu Fan’s heart, making his expression somewhat solemn.

Gu Fan thought for a moment, "When we go back, it’s to prepare and come back again, not a one-way trip."

"I know, but have you ever thought that when we go back, can you find such a good captain and crew to come back with us?" Su Hui’s words made Gu Fan feel a bit tense again.

Gu Fan had a vague feeling that the appearance of the pirates that night not only made them aware of the danger of the mist, but also forced the captain and crew to join them on this adventure in the Triangle Sea Area.

This made Gu Fan feel troubled. If they were to return to East land, the captain and crew would definitely not follow them again. If they wanted to find a person with rich maritime experience and willing to take the risk to venture into the Triangle Sea Area with them again, it would be difficult.

Gu Fan made up his mind and said earnestly, "We will see what fate has in store for us. If all goes well, we will return to East land, prepare supplies again and arrange for Xiaohu to go home. As for the captain and crew, if they don’t want to risk the Triangle Sea Area again, we will not force them."

Su Hui nodded, "I also consider the same. I hope we can successfully return and not involve innocent people. I had a premonition that we would encounter something, which would prevent us from returning smoothly, and we would have to continue wandering in the center of the Triangle Sea Area."

"Oh, really?" Gu Fan was curious. It’s often said that a woman’s intuition is very accurate.

Su Hui pointed up at the sky. Even though it was day time, the sky was covered in dark clouds, signifying that they wouldn’t be able to see the moon at night, which meant that there would still be mist tonight.

Yet, in the current situation, Gu Fan didn’t care because only half a day was needed. As long as half a day passed, they could leave the Center of the Triangle Sea Area and they would no longer need to worry about the mist.

"Yes, it seems to be going smoothly at the moment." As soon as Gu Fan finished speaking, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew over, the dark clouds in the sky thickened, and it began to thunder and lightning. The weather became extremely bad.

"No way!" Gu Fan had a bad premonition, and then saw waves stirring up. Their ship was bobbing up and down on the fluctuating waves.

Inside the cabin, no one could stay stable. They were being thrown from one side to the other, which was not pleasant at all. Qin Jia nearly got seasick.

"Miss Lin, we need a plan quickly." After Lu Yi spoke, she turned around and saw that Lin Xi had accidentally hit her head and had fainted.

Amidst the heavy wind and waves, the ship was completely out of control, swaying with the wind and waves. The captain was trying his best to keep the ship steady and maintain the course. He was striving to not deviate from the original route so that even after the storm they would know their position.

Watching the heavy wind and waves outside, Gu Fan couldn’t help but sigh, "Why, why just half a day? Why can’t they give us this? Why can’t we return to East land, why can’t Xiaohu go home, why can’t the captain and the crew disembark? Why can’t we have these?"

In response to Gu Fan’s words, a tornado formed over the sea, causing the wind and waves to stir up horribly. A huge wave came crashing, giving the ship Gu Fan and his crew were on the feeling of flipping over.

Not only Gu Fan and his people, but everyone else was also horrified by the approaching tornado. Everyone’s heart was racing with fear. It was their first time seeing a tornado.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, the captain stopped trying to maintain the course. If they continued on the original course, they would collide with the tornado, so he hurriedly turned the ship around.

The waves were fierce, relentlessly battering the ship. Each collision made a loud noise, as if the ship could split in half at any moment.

Gu Fan and Su Hui ran to the cockpit and looked at the situation outside through the glass. They watched their ship slowly moving away from the tornado, with everyone holding their breaths and the captain and crew trying to overcome their fear and control the ship calmly.

The ship was shaking, just as everyone’s bodies were shaking. The ferocious roar from the tornado was horrifying, the mere sound of it was enough to make one’s heart tremble with fear.

"It’s passed, it’s passed." Gu Fan gritted his teeth, watching the tornado roar and move in another direction. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the wind and waves were still strong, it was better than encountering a tornado.

Gu Ling’s face was somewhat pale. She had definitely sensed the imminent danger, thinking they wouldn’t be able to evade it. But they did, she wasn’t sure whether it was good luck or bad.
