Chapter 78: Nightmare on The Ship
The night sky was shrouded in thick black clouds, and heavy rain poured down amid the strong wind. Lightning flashed, illuminating the terrified faces of the ship’s crew while the thunder echoed through the air.
The ship was being battered by heavy storms and turbulent, rough waves, which caused it to roll and sway violently in the wild sea.
Suddenly, a scream pierced through the chaos.
"The mast is falling!" yelled one of the ship’s crew.
As he screamed, the creaking ship’s main mast began to tumble down, hitting the front mast and tearing the sails apart. The other crew members rushed to the deck, heaving the broken spar and torn sails away to prevent further damage.
Amidst the chaos, the helmsman’s panicked voice rang out, "The rudder is broken! I can’t steer the ship!"
His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his face contorted with fear. The ship was rounding up and heading straight towards a treacherous reef.
Despite his best efforts, the force of the wind was too great, and the vessel was being pushed uncontrollably towards that direction.
The crew members worked frantically to prevent the ship from crashing into the reef. But the storm was relentless, and their efforts seemed in vain. The vessel was at the mercy of the wind and waves, and the crew could only hold on tight and pray for a miracle.
’Dum!!’
The deafening sound of the hull hitting the reef reverberated through the air, causing the entire vessel to shake violently. Panic swept through the crew as everyone scrambled to save their lives.
