Although the speedboat Yuan Ning used before was old, it has good performance in all aspects. It also has a cabin that can block the wind and rain, and can be used after a little trimming.

In addition, she was able to escape from the sea where the tsunami was coming and accurately identify the direction and return to the l island area safely. It can be seen that she could do the third point.

The most difficult thing is the second point. You Xi has asked a local crew member with sailing experience before. From Island L to the nearest continent, it is conservatively estimated that it is 1,200 nautical miles. Ordinary small and medium-sized speedboats have a uniform speed of about 40 nautical miles per hour. The fuel tank of a speedboat ranges from 50 to 150 liters.

Based on the 150-liter fuel tank, you can run for more than 3 hours after filling it up.

It takes at least 30 hours of boat trip for 1200 nautical miles. The speedboat cannot run at full speed 24 hours a day. If there is a problem with the host, the insurance says that it is about 8 to 10 hours a day. Based on the 10 hours a day, it takes about 400 nautical miles a day, and 1200 nautical miles a day will take at least three days.

If converted to fuel, it is estimated to be around 1,500 liters.

With so much fuel, where to get it is a difficult problem, but it is not completely impossible to solve it.

However, ordinary speedboats cannot have such a large fuel tank, but if they are carried with the ship with diesel barrels, so much fuel will be nearly 1,300 kilograms, and some small speedboats have limited load capacity and cannot be installed at all.

Even within the load-bearing range, it is very dangerous to place a large amount of fuel on bumpy boats. The sea is not as good as land. If something happens, there is no place to escape. The only result is to be buried in the vast sea.

However, Youxi has room.

The fuel barrel can be placed with a height of 100% safety factor.

But for her, the biggest difficulty is this. Can she convince the other party to leave together without exposing the space?

How to secretly transfer fuel to space after persuasion?

After she proposed this plan, Yuan Ning also focused on the second issue: the source and storage of fuel.

Island l is too far from other continents, and other islands within the sea route back to China were also impacted by tsunamis and could not be used as a transfer station. As for the large ships on Island l, almost all of them were destroyed in the tsunami. The speedboats that can still be used are basically small and medium-sized. When the tsunami occurs, they are in the deep sea area, with experienced helmsman, and survive by chance.

If these ships were not able to carry everyone to long-distance flights, the people on the island would have probably found a way to leave early in the morning.

Between taking risks and leaving safely, most people can easily choose the latter.

The same is true for Yuan Ning. The situation is not so bad that she has to leave, but leaving is destined to be an adventure.

She frowned and pondered for a while, and slowly spoke: "Actually, it's not completely feasible. You can think of a way to get the fuel source...but it takes time to prepare. Moreover, my injury has not completely healed yet, so going to sea in such a state will definitely not work. Please wait for me for a few more days, and in five days, I will give you an accurate answer."

Before five days, the mountains and mountains became chaotic.

In the past few days, the temperature has not only not recovered, but has also dropped from seven to eight degrees to zero. The rapid cooling and unprecedented cold airflow not only terrorized the people of Haiguo, but also panicked the surviving tourists from all over the world.

lThe air conditioners in all hotels and hotels on the island only have a cooling effect. Even if you can control heating, it will not help much under the circumstances of power limit. Cold protection materials have become more important than food and water for a while.

The rescue team cleared all the inventory of clothes and blankets, and almost everyone layered several clothes and wrapped them in various blankets. Is it like this or it is cold, so most people began to think of various ways, such as hiding in the room and removing wooden chairs and starting to burn the fire to keep warm.

After extinguishing the eighth small-scale fire caused by improper use of fire, the rescue team sent people to ignite several fires in several hotels and hotel lobbies, allowing survivors to concentrate on keeping warm and temporarily alleviating the cold problem.

The situation in the B&B area is better, because almost all B&Bs here have a shared kitchen with stoves on the first floor. The survivors in the B&B are so cold that they can't stay, so they gather in the kitchen to burn firewood to keep warm.

As a result, there are many survivors who originally lived in the hotel area.

Two groups of people were also staying in the B&B where Youxi was. One group was from H, with men and women. They exchanged some food for the right to live in the room and occupied the room on the left side of the stairs on the first floor.

The other wave was the Yingguo people, almost all men, occupying the room on the right side of the stairs on the first floor. They always stared at the others entering and leaving the B&B, and the eyes made You Xi and Yuan Ning and others more vigilant.

Yuan Qi no longer goes to the first floor kitchen to cook. She also exchanged the alcohol stove with the boss's wife for food, took out the kitchen pot and bowl, and made some simple food in the room.

In this way, every time I cook porridge or noodles, I never forget to give You Xi a portion.

You Xi felt embarrassed and helpless, so she pretended to go out and walked around. After coming back, she said that she had also got the alcohol stove and could cook it by herself in the future.

She also made a pot of sausage, carrot clay pot rice that night and delivered it downstairs. It was also a simple ingredient. You Xi's skills are no worse than Yuan Qi, and even better than hers.

Yuanyuan didn't have to feed her. She obediently finished eating a large bowl of clay pot rice, and even licked the rice grains on the spoon.

However, the harmonious atmosphere only lasted for this night. Before dawn, You Xi heard a strange noise outside the door, and the sound was not loud, but she was very alert and woke up immediately.

She took out the electric shock stick and held it in her hand. She first looked outside with her cat eyes, then opened the door. Not far from outside the door, a strange man wearing a mask fell on the corridor.

When she squatted down to check, Yuan Ning came up from the stairs with a rope: "Are you awake? Just so I tied this person up and handed it over to the rescue team later."

"This person..."

"It should be here to find supplies." Yuan Ning used the word "find", but she knew that You Xi could understand the real meaning. "I guess I knew that you were a girl living on the fifth floor, so I touched her before dawn. I started to take advantage of the fact that I was a little heavy, and I guess I would be dizzy for a while."

Yuan Ning has the habit of morning exercises. She had been paused for a few days due to her injury. Today, she felt that the wound was well harvested, so she wanted to slowly walk the stairs to move her hands and feet, but she happened to be hit by her.

"Thank you, are you hurting?"

"It's okay, I'm very careful this time and didn't pull the wound."

You Xi quickly cut the man's hand behind his back and tied it. Then he went back to the room and took a towel from the homestay to put it into his mouth. He turned the person over and pulled down the mask but found that the other party was a little familiar, "This is..."

"Well, it should be one of the two groups of people on the first floor." The other party had many faces and did not go out often. Yuan Ning only recognized a rough idea, and could not tell whether it was a member of Ying or a member of H.

This person is different from the one who was knocked down by You Xi before. He is not a villain, because the two groups of people downstairs are tourists. The order is not completely chaotic at present, and they dare not come blatantly, so they use such a thief and choose You Xi who lives alone.

You Xi sighed. She has been very cautious in traveling these days. She suddenly wrapped a thin blanket with a somewhat worn blanket outside her down jacket. She always wore a hat to minimize the number of times she went downstairs.

All of them are targeted, which shows that the situation here is getting worse quickly.

Yuan Ning frowned and was silent for a moment, as if she had made up her mind: "Let's leave as soon as possible, I'll go to Lin Wu to discuss today."

After breakfast, You Xi took advantage of the time when Yuan Ning went to find Lin Wu, negotiated with the homestay owner and moved from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, and moved into the next door to Yuan Qi and the others.

This room is still on the west side, but it is different from the room upstairs. The terrace faces west. Standing on the balcony, you can not only see the movements on the south side of the B&B, but also the situation under the cliff to the north side of the B&B.

After the tsunami, the vacant rooms have not been cleaned, but the doors and windows are closed and the inside is still clean, but the air is a bit bad. You Xi opened the balcony door to ventilate, and as usual, using the high-power telescope you exchanged on the balcony to check the situation in the distance.

The water level seems to have dropped a little bit compared to before, but it is only a difference between five floors and four and a half floors. The once lively resort island, now there are no living people everywhere on the island except on Wanghai Mountain.

The buildings exposed to the water reveal a grey and dead silence in the blue and white light in the early morning. The empty windows are like the holes of monsters. After watching them for a long time, they will make people feel desperate out of thin air.

When Yuan Ning came back, she not only brought the rescue team's men, but also Lin Wu.

As a result, as soon as I reached the second floor, I found that there were many people surrounded by the corner of the stairs, including a few young women on the second floor, a few men and women on the first floor, and even the owner and the proprietress of the homestay were watching to join in the fun.

"What's going on?" Yuan Ning asked the woman on the second floor.

The other party pointed to the upper floor: "The few people from the Yingguo on the first floor went up to cause trouble."
