Driven by the strong wind, continuous waves appeared in the calm lagoon. These waves washed the beach again and again, smoothing out the remaining footprints on it. At the same time, the owner of the footprints, along with the lifebuoy he had just grabbed, were swept away.
They were pushed back to the shore together.
Stopping his running pace, Wei Ran ignored the wounds on his feet that were scratched by the rocks and knelt down before Captain Evans to help check his wounds. Hawks, who ran first, also hurriedly shot him.
Vice Captain Sterling dragged him over.
After some inspection, Wei Ran easily found the location where Evans was shot. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh. The shot just hit him in the stomach. Given the current environment and existing medical conditions,
The only thing he could do was to give the other party an injection of morphine to relieve pain.
Shaking his head regretfully towards the panicked Hawkes, Wei Ran gently laid Captain Evans down on the beach, and then moved to Vice Captain Sterling's side.
His condition was not much better than the former. The bullet hit his back, the wound that kept overflowing blood, and the fine bubbles that kept pouring out with his breathing, so that Wei Ran subconsciously thought
I met squad leader Liang Yimin in Savage Mountain!
Sighing secretly, Wei Ran regretfully pushed the last morphine they had into the veins of Vice Captain Sterling.
"Hawkes..."
Sterling shouted softly with all his strength, and when Hawks subconsciously looked over, he stretched out his fingers tremblingly, drew a small star on the flat beach, and marked "N" representing true north next to it.
”.
Then, he drew a triangle with the little star as the vertex, and then drew a line to connect the five-pointed star and the base to draw a new triangle.
"Toward...north"
Sterling waved to Hawks to come closer to write, and while coughing up blood, he said intermittently, "North... east, 40 degrees, further... north, sextant... Polaris angle.
..The higher the angle, the more...just like what I...drawn,...go...you...go..."
As he spoke, Sterling used his best strength to gently push Sterling's head and push him to Captain Evans' side.
"Bury us with... and the moose..."
Evans put his hand on Sterling's shoulder, pointed to the sailor's whistle on his neck and said, "Help us, just blow the sailor's whistle for us, no need... no need to take us back, just, just
Let us fight and die together...with the Johnston."
After a short pause, Evans showed a sad smile, took a deep breath and finally said, "Also, I... I like the... flower in the camp, please help me put its flower... with
, and the seeds...bring back...bring..."
He looked at Captain Evans who lost his breath before he finished speaking, and then looked at Vice Captain Sterling who also stopped breathing, and the sand picture he still protected with his arms until his death.
Hawks silently pulled out the ax that was still embedded in Jiro's chest, and slashed at its face and neck like crazy!
Sighing again, Wei Ran silently took a few steps back, turned around and took out his camera bag, replaced the camera with a wide-angle lens and a cassette containing new film, and turned the ratchet to wind up the clockwork.
Finally putting away the camera bag, Wei Ran turned around and held up the camera, taking pictures of the two captains lying on the beach, the bloody sand map on the beach, Hawks swinging an ax with his back to him, and the body splattered with blood.
The corpse, and even the empty 1911 pistol in the corpse's hand, were all included in the viewfinder as much as possible.
Amidst the creaking sound of the shutter, Hawks gradually stopped his venting behavior and kicked the already unrecognizable Jiro over. He silently stretched out his fingers and dipped the ax blade covered in dripping blood.
Then he drew some lines of unknown meaning on his face.
"What are you going to do?" Wei Ran asked when he saw the other party carrying an ax and walking towards the camp on the north side of the island, immediately putting the camera into his backpack.
"You know what I'm going to do?" Hawks paused for a moment.
"I'll go with you," Wei Ran said, taking two quick steps to follow Hawks.
The distance was only a hundred meters, and as the distance got closer, the two of them also saw the bonfires flying wildly in the wind in the camp on the north side of the island, and even saw Akira leaning against the trunk of the tree.
Walking into the camp that was filled with the smell of shit and meat, Wei Ran immediately frowned and reached out to stop Hawks who had already raised his axe.
"What's wrong?" Hawks asked with a gloomy look.
"Wait first"
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he looked at the bones placed in the helmet that served as a cooking pot on the bonfire again.
Even though he had never studied at Hongqi Forest Farm, he had already discovered something was wrong. This small island surrounded by the ocean was too small, and there were no large terrestrial wild animals on the island.
On the other hand, it is impossible for seabirds flying in the sky or various fish in the water to grow the kind of bones that only land mammals have! In this case, those bones...
Glancing at Akira, who was wearing a leather flying hat and goggles, and with an umbrella cloth surrounding the lower half of his face, Wei Ran walked over, carefully lifted off the umbrella cloth around his body, and untied the opponent's chain.
He took off the belt of the flight suit, and then unbuttoned the upper body.
Without even seeing what was going on inside, he and Hawks smelled the strong smell of shit, and Akira also let out a weird giggle!
Pulling off the umbrella cloth from the opponent's face, Wei Ran frowned. They hadn't seen each other for just a few days, and all the teeth in Akira's mouth were gone!
After coming back to his senses, he immediately helped the other person take off his smelly one-piece flight suit. Immediately afterwards, he and Hawks saw a horrifying scene.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Akira's injured right foot is gone from the knee down, and about ten centimeters above the knee, it is still tied tightly with a circle of parachute rope.
But the wound was just roughly burned!
Not only is it missing its right calf, but also the parts of its left and right hands from below the elbow! Likewise, the treatment of these two wounds is no different from that of its right leg!
In addition, Akira's flight suit was also tied to the tree trunk behind him with a lock. After missing half of his legs and two hands, he could not even unlock the lock behind him, even if he wanted to stand up.
, are simply impossible.
Even though he maintained a destined irreparable hatred with the other party, Wei Ran had to lament the tenacity of life. Even though he was almost eaten into a human stick, Akira was still alive at this time. Even when it saw Wei Ran and Huo
When I was crying, tears mixed with blood flowed from the corners of my eyes!
"vomit--!"
Hawkes, who clearly came to seek revenge, couldn't hold back after all, and started to vomit while holding on to a tree beside the camp.
Taking a step back, Wei Ran bent down and grabbed a handful of fine sand to rub the blood and dirt on his hands. Unexpectedly, there happened to be a complete fingernail hidden in this handful of fine sand.
With an expressionless face, Wei Ran let the sand in his hand be taken away by the wind. Wei Ran cleared his throat and said, "Hawkes, go back first. Send the two captains back and take the weapons bag back with you."
"He...vomit-!" Before Hawkes could finish speaking, he continued to retching involuntarily.
"Let him live"
Wei Ran showed a flat smile, "For Mr. Akira, living is a painful thing."
Hearing this, Hawks couldn't help but trembled, spit out the stain in his mouth, and was about to leave this hell-like camp.
"Etc., etc..."
Akira, who had no teeth, begged vaguely, "Help me...help me..."
"help you with what?"
Wei Ran squatted down only two meters away from the other party and looked at the other party and asked. At the same time, he was also very grateful to the metal book like a close big sister for giving him the request of "no killing" this time.
Just like what he just said to Hawks, for Akira at this time, living is a more painful thing.
"Kill me...kill me..."
Akira said vaguely, and Hawks, who was standing outside the camp, couldn't help snorting after hearing this request, and continued walking towards the south side of the island.
"I'm afraid not"
Wei Ran spread his hands, took out his camera from his bag and took a photo of the other person, while saying, "I can't kill people, it will dirty my hands."
Akira, who was naked and covered in feces and urine, struggled to get out of the dirty flight suit like a bug. Under the cold eyes of Wei Ran, facing the increasingly violent sea breeze, he moved little by little to the foot of a tree.
, using its only remaining foot, it pushed the fine sand under the tree down and down.
"Gold, I'll give you all the gold." Akira begged with tears in his eyes, "Medicine, give me a pill."
After taking another photo of the other party, Wei Ran put the camera in his bag and looked around, then picked up the greasy machete beside the campfire and walked over under Akira's horrified gaze.
Ignoring Akira's panic and moving to the side, while trying his best to protect his only good leg, Wei Ran dug into the sand and dug out a long lunch box.
Under Akira's eager gaze, Wei Ran threw the machete outside the camp and slowly opened the lid, revealing the small medicine bottles placed on the tray.
Glancing at Akira, who was looking at him eagerly, Wei Ran put the vials into his pocket, and then opened the tray, revealing the dollars, gold bars, gold rings, and gold rings at the bottom of the lunch box.
The map in the cellophane bag and the compass still protected by the condom.
"Where did these things come from?" Wei Ran asked, picking up a roll of dollars wrapped in a condom.
"that's me..."
"You'd better tell the truth," Wei Ran reminded the other party before he could finish his sentence, "This is related to whether you can get those medicines."
"They were robbed by Lubin." Akira answered vaguely, "We robbed the churches and temples there."
"Where is that golden statue?" Wei Ran pressed the lid of the lunch box and asked, "Where is she? She was also snatched?"
"Give me the medicine first," Akira said while swallowing, "Give me the medicine, and I'll..."
"Forget it, I'm not that curious."
Wei Ran said, putting the lunch box aside, ignoring Akira's struggle and pleading, stuffing him back into the one-piece flight suit, and helping him put on his belt and the umbrella cloth again.
"Enjoy the coming storm."
As Wei Ran spoke, he kindly helped the other party strengthen the umbrella cloth to keep out the rain, and added some firewood to the bonfire. He even took out the engineer shovel without concealing it, and under Akira's dull eyes, added some firewood to the bonfire.
A circle of sand was built around Akira to prevent wind and water. Then he left this sinful camp with the greasy machete, the lunch box he had just dug out, and the Japanese smoking set.
Facing the sea breeze coming from the shop, Wei Ran walked to the water's edge. Wei Ran squatted down and grabbed a handful of fine sand that could squeeze out the water. He carefully washed the machete and his own hands clean, then stood up and slowly walked towards the island.
The southernmost point.
When the heavy raindrops crackled down in the strong wind, he also walked into their camp. However, in less than half an hour, in the camp that was once filled with laughter and hope of escape, only
There was Hawkes sitting in a daze by the campfire, and the bodies of the two captains lying on the bed or in the hammock.
Looking at the hammock stained red by Sterling's blood, and then at the Indian pipe ax still covered in blood next to Captain Evans, Wei Ran didn't know what to say at all, so he could only
Sitting silently on his simple wooden bed, he stared blankly at the increasing rain outside and the waves stirred up by the strong wind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I don’t know how long it took, when the waves were driven by the strong wind and washed up on the beach, almost breaking into the woods, but Hawks suddenly stood up
.
"What are you going to do?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.
"Bury them"
While Hawks was talking, he had already found the copper sheet that he had made with his own hands from cannon shells. Then he put on his tattered gloves and left the camp. Next to the Sailor Moose, he braved the wind and rain to dig a grave alone.
pit.
"What are you going to do next?" Wei Ran asked while helping.
"Bury them first," Hawks paused and continued, "then store enough food, repair our ship, and leave here."
"Can you use the sextant made by Sterling?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask.
"Won't"
Hawks shook his head, "But it doesn't matter. I just need to keep going 40 degrees north by east. Although I don't know how to use a sextant, I can at least use a sail and a compass. That's enough."
.”
"I will help you," Wei Ran said seriously, "just like now."
"Thanks"
Hawks muttered something to himself, and Wei Ran sighed. In this time and space, Hawks at least still has his company, but in that time and space without him, he simply cannot imagine that this
How did an 18-year-old Indian soldier survive loneliness?
"I just found this in Akira's camp." Wei Ran promptly handed the lunch box and even the Japanese smoking set he brought back to him.
Temporarily stopping his work of digging the grave, Hawks casually opened the lid of the lunch box, then opened the empty tray. He glanced at the yellow and white objects and the map compass in the lunch box and closed the lid again.
Throwing it aside, "Except for that map, the rest of the things are probably the most useless."
"Hawkes"
"What's wrong?"
"To survive"
Wei Ran said while digging the grave with his bare hands, "I also promised you that when we return to Hawaii, I will take you to a striptease bar to see the white girls. The money and gold are enough for you to see a hundred white girls.
There is no problem with Naiko. So in order to..."
"In order to see the beauty of the white girl, I have to live."
Hawks once again said what he had just said when he met Wei Ran at sea, but this time, there was no ridicule in his tone, only sadness.
In the increasingly violent wind and rain, the two gradually dug a grave that was wide and deep enough.
Without resting at all and without consulting with Wei Ran, Hawks left the camp alone in the rain and dragged back the life raft hidden behind the rocks in the distance.
"Victor, I plan to..."
"Do what you want to do." Wei Ran nodded before the other party finished speaking, "I will support you in whatever you do."
Hawks was startled, then reached out to open the vent of the life raft. Then he picked up the machete brought back by the sanitary gen and made four cuts on the original "O" shaped life raft, turning it into two "I"s.
"-shaped and two "("-shaped rubber tubes, as well as a load-bearing net full of holes.
After removing the coconut that was originally used to block the damage, Hawkes carefully sewed the damage with fishing line and fish hooks, and then tied one end with paracord, like a body bag, and carefully put it on
On Sterling.
The other end was tied up with a parachute rope, and the two men first sent Sloat into the grave. Then they followed the same method, wrapping Captain Evans' body in a waterproof buoyancy bag and sending him into the grave.
This was not over yet, Hawkes cut off the anchor bag where Akira and the two had hidden their things, and removed Captain Evans's diary, the simple sextant made by Sterling, and even the two of them who had just desperately picked up
All the weapons that came back were put in, and after being carefully wrapped, they were placed between the two corpses.
In the roaring wind and rain, the fine white sand gradually buried the two bodies, and eventually they were no longer distinguishable from the surrounding sand.
"Du——! Du——!"
Hawkes stood on the edge of the filled grave, tried his best, and blew the sailor's whistle in his hand again and again. In the low whistle, Wei Ran once again raised the camera, doing what he is doing now
The only thing that can be done is to record this unknown history and pain.
"Click!" With the crisp sound of the shutter, Wei Ran's field of vision was completely filled with white light.
Is it finally over... While Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief, he was inevitably a little disappointed.
But soon, before his eyesight could recover, he felt the scorching temperature and dazzling sunlight, and even his body was slowly shaking.
Wei Ran twitched his nose and smelled the familiar and disgusting smell of sea. Wei Ran blinked hard and finally saw the surrounding situation clearly.
At this time, he was sitting in the dark blue traffic boat. On both sides of the hull of the traffic boat, close to the side of the boat, there was a long cylindrical floating bag wrapped in white umbrella cloth firmly fixed.
In the center of the hull, there is also an insulated bucket also wrapped in umbrella cloth, and a relatively delicate jib. Unfortunately, perhaps because there is no wind, the jib is loose.
It failed to generate any motivation at all.
Just like the bow of the ship, a shed was built with wooden sticks and umbrella cloth across the stern of the boat to protect it from the sun and rain. The top of the shed was even tightly wrapped with the load-bearing net of the original life raft.
At this time, Hawkes was leaning against the thermos bucket with his back to him, carefully tearing off the fibers from a piece of dry coconut shell, kneading it into a ball and stuffing it into the Japanese-style smoking pot.
, and then he took out a lighter from the Japanese-style smoking bag, and used a brown flame to light the fake tobacco in the pot.
Ignoring Hawks who was choking on the fake tobacco and coughing repeatedly, Wei Ran glanced at the more than twenty shelled coconuts piled in the stern cabin, and finally focused on himself and behind him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I am still wearing the handyman deck suit, with a folded body armor sitting under my butt, and a heavy telescope box hanging on my waist.
The only difference is that on his ten fingers, he wears a total of three gold rings with ordinary shapes.
Look at the cabin at the bow of the ship behind you. There are a row of eight American-style kettles tied with ropes, as well as a lifebuoy and underwater breathing equipment modified with a gas mask, plus a canvas bag filled with dried smoked fish.
But apart from what he could see, he found nothing else, especially the canvas sailing bag, the pipe axe, and the sailor's whistle that were seen later.
After pondering for a while, Wei Ran took out the camera bag under the cover of the thermal bucket between the two of them. He took out the camera from inside and checked it. Then he took out the British army kettle and the three unreliable oil drums.
.
However, what made him want to scold his mother was that the British army kettle was light and empty, but the three oil drums were frighteningly heavy, especially the oil drum whose mouth was stained with some odor even unexpectedly.
It was so hot that he shivered!
"What's wrong, Victor?" Hawks, who had his back to Wei Ran, raised the incense in his hand, "Would you like a coconut-flavored pipe?"
"nothing"
Wanting to eat people, Wei Ran quickly put away the oil drum and kettle, "Forget the pipe, I will choke to death."
"We've been at sea for a week"
Hawks glanced at the notches on the side of the boat, carefully took a sip of the fake cigarette, changed the subject, and asked in a hoarse voice, "I don't know how far we are from the main island of Palau."
"I don't know how far it is," Wei Ran reminded kindly, "but if you continue to smoke this kind of fake tobacco, you will become mute sooner or later."
“It’s good to have some smoke.”
Hawkes took another puff on his pipe and said with some frustration, "It's impossible for us to return to Helen Island now. I don't even know where we are now."
Hearing this, Wei Ran subconsciously stood up and looked around, but then his heart skipped a beat. He slapped the thermos bucket between the two of them with one hand, and pointed at the sea in the distance with the other hand and shouted, "Huo
Hawks! Hawks! Boat! There’s a boat over there! And the island!”
Hearing this, Hawks stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of Wei Ran's finger. Sure enough, on the sea in the distance, there was really a small boat that could barely be seen clearly! And in the distance, the boat
Not too far away, there is a green island!
After looking at each other at Wei Ran, Hawkes immediately opened the cloth bag hanging on his chest, shiveringly took out a simple signal transmitter and handed it to Wei Ran, and then took out a signal bomb.
He tore off the wax seal and handed it to Wei Ran.
Before he could fire the flare, Hawkes had already pulled out his pistol, pointed it above his head and pulled the trigger repeatedly!
Amidst the banging gunfire, Wei Ran finally stuffed the flare into the launcher, picked up the firing pin at the tail and aimed it at the top of his head.
"Bang! Phew——!"
Along with a blast, a red flare flew into the sky.
"One more!"
Hawks said as he took out a few more flares from the bag on his chest and handed them to Wei Ran. At the same time, he also took Wei Ran and handed him the telescope.
"Bang! Phew——!"
Another flare flew into the cloudless sky, and Hawks immediately shouted excitedly, "They noticed! Their ship turned towards us!"
As he spoke, Hawkes picked up the sailor's whistle hanging around his neck, brought it to his mouth and blew a long whistle.
"beep--!"
At this low but penetrating whistle, Hawks couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes, and Wei Ran's vision was once again completely filled with intense white light.
