Chapter 733: Fatally Destroyed

After scanning the cockpit again, after confirming that there was nothing missing, Ye Tian cleaned up the coral debris on his gloves, swinging his legs and swimming towards the back of the cockpit.

There is an iron door more than one meter wide on the rear bulkhead. The surface is covered with colorful coral and coral excrement, but the general shape can still be seen clearly!

They can leave the cockpit from there. As for whether the iron door leads to other cabins or the lower deck behind the iron door, it is unclear. They can only know if they open the iron door.

The reason for choosing it is that it is half-open, indicating that it is not locked, and also because it is on the top, it is easy to move, and there are no obstacles near the door.

There is also an iron gate under the bulkhead on the seabed side, but there is a pile of rubbish piled up at the gate, which is like a hill, so naturally they can't choose that side.

After gently swinging their legs a few times, Ye Tian and Matisse swam to the door of the iron gate, stopped, and were suspended in the water.

They didn't immediately reach out to open the iron door to see where it led to! Instead, he observed the condition of the iron gate.

Although the rust is severe, it is strong and not dangerous.

Afterwards, Matisse swam towards the iron gate, pulling the distance closer.

After reaching the iron door, he immediately took out the diving knife tied to the outside of his thigh and began to clean the thick coral on the iron door handle in order to open the door.

When the sharp and unmatched blade passed, the coral on the handle was immediately scraped off in pieces, and slowly fell down.

Soon, Matisse cleaned up, inserted the diving knife back into the scabbard, and then reached out to hold the iron door handle, and pulled open the iron door that had been silent for more than 30 years.

The iron gate was very heavy and extremely jerky, but it was still slowly opened by Matisse.

As the iron door opened, the situation behind the door immediately appeared in front of Ye Tian and Matisse.

Behind the door is a small platform with a length of about 1.5 meters and a width of about one and a half meters. Turning right is connected to a downward staircase.

"Let's go over and see, Matisse, I don't know where this staircase leads, whether the lower cabin or the stern."

With that said, Ye Tian had taken the lead to swim through the iron gate and came to the small platform outside the gate.

Immediately afterwards, Matisse swam over with his legs swinging.

After stabilizing their bodies, they immediately used flashlights tied to their arms to shoot down the stairs to see where the stairs lead.

A few powerful lights projected from their arms, shining directly to the bottom of the stairs, illuminating a piece of light there, and allowing them to see clearly.

This is the staircase leading to the lower deck cabin, not to the stern.

Judging from the position on the platform, the door of the cabin on the lower deck seems to be open and they can pass smoothly!

"Let's go to that cabin, Matisse, as usual, the captain's lounge should be on the lower floor, maybe we will find something again!"

Ye Tian pointed his finger at the door of the lower cabin, and said to Matisse.

After speaking, he immediately swam over there, and the beams of light projected by the two strong flashlights on his arm pointed directly to the door of the cabin below!

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

Ye Tian and Matisse have inspected the ship cabins of the freighter and most of the cabins on the main deck.

Except for the few pieces of jewellery found in the cockpit, they never found anything else surprising! It can be said that there is nothing.

There are a few antiques from fifty to sixty years ago in the captain's room, but their value is relatively average, and they are not small, so Ye Tian doesn't like it at all! He don't even bother to bring them to sea surface!

These things will sleep on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, and their value may increase greatly, and they will be popular and chased by people, but it has nothing to do with Ye Tian!

Like the upper cockpit, there is also an old-fashioned safe in the captain's lounge, hidden in a bookcase. It is not large, it is firmly locked, and it is severely corroded!

But under perspective, Ye Tian knew what was in the safe in an instant.

There are mainly some documents, which should be related to this cargo ship and the goods carried on the ship. In addition, there are tens of thousands of dollars in cash, a pistol, and two jewelry boxes!

The box is also top-brand jewelry, which should be a gift from the captain to his family.

In the era 30 or 40 years ago, cargo ships from Peru sailed to New York. If economic conditions allowed, everyone would bring home gifts to their families. People share this same heart!

The quality of these two pieces of jewelry is pretty good. They were worth several thousand dollars 30 years ago, but they have doubled now. The two pieces should be worth $150,000 to $160,000.

Same as before, Ye Tian plans to bring this safe on the yacht later, not for the two pieces of jewelry, just to experience the fun of discovering the treasure!

After roughly exploring the main deck, Ye Tian and Matisse swam to the ship bridge again, preparing to enter the lower deck from there! Go and see what's happening in the cabin below.

When they swam to the cabin door leading to the lower deck, shone a flashlight in, and looked at the situation inside the cabin door and on the stairs, they immediately dismissed the idea.

Because of the violent explosion or impact, the stairs leading to the lower cabin have been completely distorted and impassable!

There are also some broken steel bars and other sharp objects that are sticking up and down the stairs. It looks very dangerous, and they will encounter them if they don't step carefully!

The cabin is also a mess. Almost everything is covered by coral, and the original appearance is not clear, and it is scattered everywhere. It is difficult to find a place to stay!

Seeing this, Matisse immediately said:

"Steven, let's not go down. It is very difficult to pass here, and the situation is unknown, there is a certain degree of danger, plus this is only a cargo ship, it is not worth the risk!"

"You are right, there is indeed no need to take a risk here, it is not worth it! Let's go to other places to see if we can find something!"

Ye Tian nodded in response, without any disagreement.

When he said this, he had secretly opened the perspective, and quickly looked through the cabin in front of him, as well as several cabins nearby and below, and grasped the situation here.

These cabins are all cargo holds, and most of the reproduced in them are mechanical equipment, and there are some other things that are not of much value. There is no need to go in and explore at all, and there is no need to risk it!

After the investigation, Ye Tian immediately retracted his gaze and ended the perspective.

Immediately afterwards, he and Matisse turned around and left, swam elsewhere, and explored other places.

During the next exploration process, Ye Tian secretly turned on perspective many times, looking through the deck from time to time, observing the situation behind the deck!

Every place in the cabin is messy, the cargo is scattered everywhere, all the metal objects are rusty, or are covered by seaweed and coral, and it is almost impossible to see the original appearance!

In addition to a large number of mechanical equipment and some other materials, he also saw some skeletons, which obviously belonged to the crew on this freighter.

Several crew members died terribly. They were crushed on the deck by those uncontrollable and extremely heavy machinery and equipment, or squeezed onto the bulkhead, and they were almost broken into pieces. It was horrible!

In addition, the deeper he sees through, the more explosion marks he sees, and the greater the damage caused by the explosion to the hull.

From this, he quickly deduced.

The reason for the sinking of this ocean-going freighter was not from pirate attacks or unpredictable storms, but from itself!

It should be a violent explosion inside the freighter, which severely damaged or even destroyed the ocean-going freighter, causing it to quickly sink to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea! Turned into a shipwreck site!

Soon, this conjecture was confirmed.

After exploring the ship bridge on the main deck and other ancillary buildings, Ye Tian and Matisse immediately climbed over the tilted main deck and swam to the bottom of the ship, ready to observe the situation at the bottom of the ship.

They just swam here, and they haven't stopped in the water yet, they found a big hole in the bottom of the freighter, which is three to four meters wide in diameter! Quite scary!

They quickly determined the location of the big hole, which was located obliquely below the ship bridge, where the engine room was located.

From the rolled steel plate around the big hole and the blooming shape of the bell mouth, it can be seen that the explosion that destroyed the freighter was very violent, and it must have occurred in the engine room!

The violent explosion directly blasted through the bottom of the freighter, causing devastating wounds that could not be repaired, and soon dragged the ocean-going freighter and all its crew into hell!

"Fuck! What exactly exploded? The power is so terrifying. This is just a cargo ship that transports machinery and equipment! It is not an ammunition ship that transports artillery shells or missiles. This is too exaggerated!"

Ye Tian exclaimed, and then swam to the big hole at the bottom of the ship, ready to see what happened.

Matisse followed, also very curious.

The two quickly swam to the location of the big hole and suspended in the water.

Just as they were about to punch the light into the big hole and start exploring, a few dark shadows suddenly swam towards them not far from the side! In high speed!
