Chapter 64: Drifting at Sea

The ocean was surging, and the sky was extremely bright and full of stars. I deliberately lay on the raft and observed the antenna for a while. The island we started from was shrouded under the Big Dipper. Only by recording the traceable marks and astronomical phenomena along the way can we ensure that we can return home smoothly after walking a long way.

Not long after, Li Ding also ran over and lay beside me. He said, "Brother Fei, do you think we seem to have entered another world?"

"Why would you say so?"

"The plane sank into the sea, and the black box was not broken. In theory, rescue can find us, but rescue never came. We haven't met any modern people either. It's reallysurprising, don’t you think it’s strange?"

"You are rare to see it, so that’s why you think it’s strange." I said: "The world is so big and there are so many islands. It is normal that they don’t find us. Don't think too high at modern science and technology."

"Hey, I don't know when I will be able to go back. If I spend my whole life on these islands, my life will be over." He sighed sadly.

I didn't take any more notice of him. After getting up to greet the three women, I ran back to the tent and lay down. After Li Ding came in, I found a rope and tied the feet of three people to a line. As long as someone moves, the other two can sense it. I'm a little worried that they will kill me while I am sleep.

This night, I was woken up by the movement. I narrowed my eyes and saw Xu glasses unting the rope from my leg. I stood up and went out. After coming back soon, he looked at Li Ding and me for a while with a sigh and then he tied the rope to my feet and lay down.

We couldn't make a fire to cook in the morning, so we had to eat some tortillas and fog lotus and continued sailing.

When I passed a reef, I saw swarms of fish swimming in it, which was very beautiful. I stopped to watch it for a while, and then continued sailing.

"Brother Lu Fei, where are we going to sail as far as possible?" Zhang Yutong asked, with low spirit.

"Ten days' voyage at most, we can't go too far. If we can't find what we want, we will return home." Even though I carefully recorded the route, there were too few references along the way and we went too far, so it was difficult for us to go back to the island.

"Our life is not as good as Robinson's." She sighed.

"Don't be so depressed, we will find the animals and take them back smoothly. When Li Wanxue is rescued, we will find a suitable island to live on, and we don't have to worry about being bullied by those aborigines anymore." I don't know what is waiting for us, but as the backbone of the team, I must always improve their morale.

When it was dark, we still didn't meet any new islands, we only found two small islands, one island only emerged from the sea with a stone, and we couldn't put one feet on it. The other was even worse. The land was only exposed when the tide ebbs, covering an area of less than 10 square meters.

On the third day, the situation remained unchanged, except for the blue ocean and the blue sky. There was no sign of life except us.

Lu Xi and Li Ding couldn't stand the turbulence. They both vomited up and couldn't eat anything. They could only drink water and eat fog lotus. If we can't find the island in the next few days, we will be in a desperate situation.

At dinner, Zhang Yutong stretched out his arm to me pitifully: "Brother Lu Fei, it's only been a few days. I'm so dark."

"Why do you afraid of black? It’s healthy." Li Ding, who was pale said that.

Zhang Yutong raised her hand and pretended to hit him. Since he ate the rest of Zhang Yutong's meat, Li Ding has been flattering her. Good family conditions not only didn't make him suffer, but also brought him a great benefit. He saw a lot in the world and had his own way of dealing with people. He knew very well that currying favor with Zhang Yutong was indirectly pleasing me.

If something goes wrong one day, Zhang Yutong may be his savior.

In fact, I was somewhat depressed in my heart but I dared not show it. Before going out to sea, I thought that the island was so big, and there should be many islands with considerable area nearby. I didn't think that this was the case when I came out.

I took a bite of the stiff tortillas, glanced at them all and tried my best to encourage them: "Cheer up, everyone, we are sure to find a big island."

"I just want not to die at sea." Li Ding sighed bitterly: "Fortunately, I didn't listen to Xu glasses before. If I ran away alone, I would definitely have died."

"If we had known it was so bitter, we might as well find a way to deal with the black monster." Xu glasses also said with emotion.

I took a sip of water and felt it necessary to communicate with them more. Zhang Yutong and I told them exactly what we saw and heard in waterfall mountain when we killed the monkey.

"What are those things?" Xu glasses asked with interest.

I shook my head: "Who knows, it must be people who have been genetically changed, but they are definitely not the first generation."

"It's not a hybrid between man and beast, is it?"

"Do you have any knowledge?" Lu Xi choked: "Human genes cannot melt with other creatures."

"You know so well?" Xu Glasses retorted rudely. Since last time when he forced her ended with failure, Xu glasses and her have become more and more disharmonious: "Science is developing, and relativity is still controversial. I think it is a hybrid between human beings and animals."

"Will those who developed them still be alive?" Zhang Yutong said: "They have the ability to close a mountain, and it must be amazing inside."

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" I asked.

"Well..." Zhang Yutong shook her head again and again.

The others laughed.

In fact, I was also full of curiosity about the world in the mountains, but even if there is a chance, who dares to really find out?

After chatting for a while, seeing that they were all tired extremely, I asked them to go their tents to sleep.

I haven't taken a bath for several days, and I smelt all over my body. I groped for the bow, quietly got out of the water, supported my hands on bamboo, and soaked in the sea for a while. Seeing that the sky began to be covered with dark clouds, I quickly lay down. Before I could get into the tent, the heavy rain fell down. Thunderbolt and clatter on the fur tent.

"It's raining. I have to go out and take a bath." Xu glasses took off their glasses and quickly wanted to come out.

"Don't go out, it's a rainstorm that will catch a cold." I shouted.

Xu glasses hesitated and lay down again. What he did made me worry about the three women. I shouted at them loudly and felt relieved when I got a response.

In order to make the heavy rain have some value, I hollowed out all the pottery pots with me and put them outside, hoping to accumulate more rainwater for drinking.

After the rain lasted a little longer, the waves increased and the raft swayed irregularly from side to side. You have to sit in a rocking chair. We lay inside, and had to lift the skins and hold on to the bamboo poles, otherwise we would be thrown around.

Nearly an hour later, when the rainstorm crossed the border, the raft sloshing stopped a lot. I ran out and found that several pottery pots slipped to the edge, but fortunately none of them were dumped. A heavy rain brought us drinking water for at least two days.

Xu glasses came to help when putting rainwater into the leather bag.

Fulling of doubts, he asked me, "Lu Fei, why are you so kind-hearted and never harm people? How did you do it?"

"Did you guys treat me badly get any good at the beginning?" I asked.

Xu glasses shook his head: "To be honest, you were forced into the cave and jumped into the sea that time. It was really your luck, or else others would not have survived. I think you are sometimes too kind."

"When I went back to the island, I'd like to kill all of you." As I took another pottery jar, I said, "Who thought you were taken away by the aborigines? Didn't the situation change later? Before anyone else shows up, we are bound to have internal strife. We encountered this extreme environment change, everyone will do whatever it takes to survive, in fact, I am no exception. I just couldn't beat the muscle man at that time. After having the aborigines, can I still kill you? "
