From the moment Director Jin first detected the target on radar and then confirmed it with binoculars, Captain Wang further reduced the ship's speed, navigating very slowly.
Han Yu and the other two hastened to install the crane arm on the left side of the rear deck, pulled the "gourd" lifting device a few times to ensure it was functional, and then saw a red sea-going lifeboat appearing not far away on the river, bobbing up and down in the high winds and waves like a leaf adrift.
"Salted Fish, there are people on the boat!"
"I see."
"People on the lifeboat, please pay attention, we are here to rescue you, we will throw you a rope, please catch the rope first..."
Captain Wang used the loudhailer to call out repeatedly, but there was no response from the people on the lifeboat.
Han Yu found it strange, wondering if they were dead.
