Chapter 1058
In just a second, the itchiness on the palms and backs of her hands made her frown uncomfortably.
Mu Mu didn't say anything more. She turned around and took out the ointment with anti-inflammatory ingredients from the first aid kit. She walked quickly to Zhou Shuwan, took her hand and gently spread it out.
The small bumps on the back of his hand were very red and swollen, and some of them were even scratched when the mist was dispersed just now, and tiny beads of blood were faintly oozing out.
Mu Mu moved very gently, smearing the ointment on her fingertips and carefully applying a thin layer on the pimple. As she applied it, she whispered, "Sister, don't rub this ointment off. Be careful when you change clothes later."
The ointment felt cool when it touched the skin, instantly suppressing the itching.
Zhou Shuwan's tense shoulders relaxed slightly and he nodded: "I understand. You should be careful too."
He didn't know when his wrist had touched the fog, and it was now red and swollen.
Mu Mu said "hmm" and applied the medicine on her sister's hand before applying it on her own wrist.
Zhong Tiyun came over with a folded acid rainproof suit and handed one to each person: "Everyone, hurry up and change into it. Although this suit is not specially designed to protect against salt spray, it is thicker than the ordinary protective suits we have before."
Then he picked up the protective mask and carefully checked the filter layer several times: "I have added two layers of gauze to the mask. It is always better to have more protection."
Without further delay, they quickly changed their clothes.
When the zipper of the acid rainproof suit is pulled to the top, the elastic bands at the collar and cuffs stick tightly to the skin. Although it is a bit stuffy, it makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
Zhou Shuwan put on the mask and tried to take a breath. When the air came in through the filter layer, the pungent salty and fishy smell was gone, and there was only a faint smell of fabric fibers.
After Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu had changed, Qi Mingyu, Zhou Jianghai and others came to take over driving and got up to change their clothes.
When changing clothes, the skin will inevitably come into contact with this salt spray, causing itching, redness and swelling immediately.
Qi Mingyu frowned slightly and rolled up the sleeves of his protective suit. On his originally clean wheat-colored forearms, there were several small pink rashes, exactly the same as the bumps on the back of Zhou Shuwan's hands.
"Hurry up and apply the ointment." Mu Mu handed it over: "We have a lot of this anti-inflammatory ointment. Each of you can put one in your pocket and take it out whenever you need it."
Everyone nodded: "This is a good idea."
The feeling of this high-concentration salt mist eroding the skin is like corrosion, which is very uncomfortable.
Everyone wants to resolve their pain as soon as possible.
There is more and more salt mist in the air.
Zhou Shuwan immediately said, "We need to reseal all the sealed areas on the cruise ship."
Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu did not dare to delay. They picked up the waterproof tarpaulin, sealant and tape piled in the corner and walked quickly towards the cabin door.
"Seal the cockpit ventilation holes first!" Zhong Tiyun shouted at the top of her voice, her voice muffled through the mask.
The vent is outside, which means they have to go to the deck to completely seal the vent.
Qi Mingyu frowned and looked at Zhou Shuwan: "Wanwan, I'll go seal it, you drive."
They have been out for nearly half a year, and except for Zhong Tiyun, the other four have basically learned the cruise ship's driving system.
Zhou Jianghai also didn't let Zhong Tiyun go out.
This is caring for women and the weak.
Zhou Shuwan thought about it and didn't refuse.
He walked over and sat in Qi Mingyu's main driving seat. Qi Mingyu picked up the waterproof tarpaulin and walked out of the cabin with Mu Mu.
As soon as the cabin door was opened, people could immediately smell the strong pungent smell.
There was a thick layer of brown salt on the deck, and at first glance it looked like the entire deck had been corroded and turned into rust.
Qi Mingyu warned Mu Mu: "Be careful!"
He took a step forward and walked out.
He was wearing acid rain-proof boots, and with every step he took he could hear the rustling sound of the soles of his shoes rubbing against the salt crust.
Mu Mu followed behind him, walking carefully.
The salt mist enveloped my entire body like a layer of damp salt gauze. The fabric of my acid rain-proof suit quickly absorbed moisture and became heavy as it stuck to my arms.
Mu Mu couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the mask, and his palm touched a piece of rough particles.
But within a few minutes, a thin layer of salt frost had formed on the outside of the mask, blurring his vision a little. He could only barely see Qi Mingyu's back in front of him.
Qi Mingyu walked to the vent and stopped, bent down to look at it, and his brows instantly frowned.
The plastic sheeting that had been temporarily put up had long been riddled with holes due to the salt mist. The scraps of cloth hung on the edge of the vent, and salt particles fell off when the wind blew. The salt crust accumulated on the metal grille inside was as thick as a fingernail, blocking the vent until only a narrow gap was left.
"We have to remove the salt crust first, otherwise the oilcloth won't stick firmly." He turned and shouted to Mu Mu.
Mu Mu quickly took out a stiff-bristle brush from his tool bag and handed it over. When his fingertips touched Qi Mingyu's gloves, he found that there was a small hole on the knuckle of the other's glove caused by the raised metal edge on the deck, and light brown salt mist was seeping in.
"Brother-in-law, your gloves are torn!" Mu Mu hurriedly pointed to the tear and said, "Change your gloves first. The salt mist will seep in and corrode your hands."
Qi Mingyu glanced down and waved his hand: "It's okay, just make do with it for now. Let's clean up here first, don't waste time."
He took the brush, bent down and brushed the salt crust on the vent hard.
With a rustling sound, salt grains fell like fine sand. Some of them penetrated into the vents through the gaps in the grilles, and some fell on the deck and piled up with the original salt crust, quickly forming small salt piles.
"Hand over the tarpaulin and sealant!" Qi Mingyu stretched out his hand. Mu Mu quickly unfolded the rolled waterproof tarpaulin and unscrewed the sealant cap and handed it over.
Qi Mingyu put the oilcloth on and pressed hard along the edge with his fingers.
Mu Mu stood by, helping to smooth out the wrinkles of the oilcloth, and then reached out to support the bottom of the oilcloth: "Brother-in-law, I'll hold it down while you apply the glue."
The sealant is milky white when it is squeezed out, and once it comes into contact with the salt mist in the air, tiny white bubbles appear instantly.
Qi Mingyu didn't dare to delay and quickly applied the glue along the gap between the oilcloth and the vent. The glue flowed down along the edge and he spread it evenly with his fingers, not leaving out even the corners.
"Bring another roll of tape and wrap a few more wraps of safety tape." Mu Mu responded and took out more tape from the Poly car across his body.
Qi Mingyu took the tape and began to wrap it around the vent. He folded the tape around the edge of the oilcloth to form a thick protective layer. He did not stop until the entire vent was tightly wrapped.
When the cabin door was pushed open, wind carrying salt particles rushed in first, followed by the brown figures of Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu.
As soon as the two men stepped onto the cockpit floor, a circle of brown salt stains were left on the soles of their acid-resistant rain boots. The salt layer condensed on the outside of the mask became thicker, and even the outline of the eyebrows and eyes became blurred.
Zhou Shuwan immediately asked, "Are they all sealed?"
