In the rescue buoy that accommodated five people, the atmosphere was inevitably a little tense because Spielfa had woken up.
Fortunately, Heidi explained the current situation in French very quickly, focusing especially on the fact that their raft and the bodies they picked up were washed away by the waves, and that the only one in the buoy was the German.
The fact of possessing weapons.
After Heidi finished explaining, Phil also used the sugar cubes that belonged to Spear to make a cup of thick sugar water and handed it to the other party. Spear, who took the sugar water, also gratefully thanked him in French.
Although there was a language barrier, the atmosphere relaxed a lot as the glass of sugar water was taken down. Immediately afterwards, Phil took down the armistice agreement signed by him and Julian, read it out in English one by one, and
Heidi was given enough time to translate it into French.
After confirming that the fleeing couple was willing to abide by these agreements, Phil found the pen that belonged to Wei Ran and asked Heidi to copy the agreements in French in the blank space provided in advance, and asked her and
Spear signed their names.
Nailing the map with the agreement written on it on the cabinet door again, Phil said enthusiastically, "Okay, from now on, you two are welcome to stay in this hotel on the sea. The conditions here are limited and the supply of supplies is particularly tight.
so..."
"Wow!"
Before Phil could even finish his welcome speech, a big and scary wave hit the watchtower hard. For a moment, the buoy began to shake violently, and even the oil lamp hanging above his head shook.
It squeaked and swayed non-stop. As for the few people standing, they fell to the ground without noticing.
"Hold everything steady!"
Wei Ran shouted and reminded, "If necessary, lie down on the floor and hold on to things around you to avoid being hit by things falling from your head!"
Just as Phil and Heidi were busy translating Wei Ran's reminder into Latin or French, the second wave also came up. The buoy was righted by the waves almost instantly, and swayed again without stopping.
Toward the other end.
The people inside the buoy were not much better off either. Wei Ran, Phil and Heidi who were lying on the floor almost left the floor for an instant. Immediately afterwards, Phil bumped into the ladder leading to the top observation tower.
Ran and Heidi collided together and finally slid to the edge of the wall.
Before the inertia carried by the body completely disappeared, the buoy changed direction and began to tilt. Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly grabbed Heidi's arm and grabbed the bed leg with his other hand.
Amid everyone's exclamations, the buoy began to tilt in the opposite direction again, and Heidi crashed into Wei Ran's arms again.
"Hurry! Catch it!"
Wei Ran, whose ribs were almost broken, held back his breath and yelled, and at the same time, he grabbed Heidi's wrist with his hand and asked her to grab the ladder of the bunk bed.
When Heidi finally stabilized her figure, Wei Ran finally had time to look at the other people in the buoy.
At this time, Phil was like a sloth, wrapping his arms and legs on the ladder leading to the deck and hugging him tightly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But inside, there is also the revolver with no bullets that Phil originally wore in his waist, and the revolver that slipped from Julian's bed.
That P38 pistol!
"Julian! Is your gun loaded?" Wei Ran, who noticed this scene, shouted nervously in German.
"There are bullets! But they are not loaded!"
Julian answered this question in French, and followed it with another question, "How do you know French?"
"My girlfriend is French!" Wei Ran shouted and made nonsense, "What about you! How come you can't speak French!"
"For the invasion of France!" Julian shouted in response.
"That's a good reason!"
While Wei Ran responded, his eyes were not staring at the two pistols sliding back and forth on the floor. Instead, he looked at Heidi next to him, Spear on the hammock, and Phil in the distance without leaving a trace.
Fan.
It was completely an accident that Phil's pistol slipped. After all, with his posture showing almost half of his buttocks, it was strange that the pistol attached to his lower back did not fall out.
But it was strange that Julian's pistol also fell off. He remembered clearly that Julian's pistol had been pressed under the pillow all the time. It could fall out. It was hard to tell whether the other party did it on purpose, especially when he had been there just now.
Answered in French about whether the pistol is loaded or not.
Look at Heidi, who is hugging the bed ladder and huddled at the foot of the bed. This girl is closing her eyes tightly and mumbling a prayer.
In contrast, it was Spear whose eyes seemed to be moving back and forth following the two pistols.
This is a bait, Wei Ran muttered with almost certainty, but then he didn't care about the two pistols that slipped to his feet several times. He just hugged the bed frame fixed to the wall and waited silently for the buoy.
clam down.
However, this manic wave lasted far longer than everyone expected, from morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, and even until the oil lamp in the buoy ran out of fuel and went out, until Phil shouted that he was outside the watchtower
It's completely dark now, and it shows no sign of weakening.
During this whole day of shaking, except for the expressionless Julian, the rest of the people in the buoy, including Wei Ran, had already vomited more than once due to seasickness, and the buoy was also filled with a strong fishy smell.
"We must have passed through the Pas de Calais!"
In the invisible buoy, Spier was lying on the hammock and said loudly and confidently.
"Why do you say that?" Wei Ran asked loudly.
"Only in the narrowest position of the strait can this buoy shake so violently!"
Spear said loudly, "Such a long-lasting wave only occurs when the ocean current in the strait is reversed due to the northeasterly wind! If the ocean current still flows from southwest to northeast, there will be no such big waves at all!"
"Keep talking!" Wei Ran shouted noncommittally.
"If the northeasterly winds are strong enough, we may be blown as far as Beachy Head in Eastbourne, England!"
Spear retched after saying this, and then continued, "If Beachy Head hadn't stopped us, we might have drifted to the Isle of Wight!"
Wei Ran didn't ask any more questions, and the buoy became quiet again, leaving only the sound of various debris due to the swing of the buoy, the friction of people's vomit sliding over it again and again, and the sound of vomiting from time to time.
But Wei Ran knew that Spier's ulterior motive just now was just like the pistol thrown by Julian. It was also a test to see if Julian, who could understand French, would do something!
As for Wei Ran, he was just watching the excitement at the moment. At most, he was just thinking about when he would have the opportunity to complete the remaining filming tasks.
In the midst of the hardships of everyone in the buoy, when the aviation watch on Weihan's wrist showed that it was already four o'clock in the morning, the sway of the buoy finally became smaller and smaller, and finally before five o'clock, it recovered to a level enough for people to stand.
degree of stability.
Untying the belt that was tied to the bed frame, Wei Ran unsteadily took off the oil lamp hanging above his head, filled it with kerosene, then relit it and hung it above his head.
"Looks like we need to clean up the buoy."
As Phil spoke, he bent down and picked up the stained revolver. After shaking it with disgust, he picked up the P38 pistol and handed it to Julian.
"Thanks"
As he spoke, Julian used a towel to take the dirty pistol handed by the other party, and at the same time asked in Latin, "Mr. Phil, can you help me go to the deck?"
"sure"
Phil said casually, "I'm about to go up there too. If this damn storm doesn't stop, I'm going to wet my pants."
After saying that, he had put the dirty pistol into his trouser pocket, helped Julian stand up, and then said in English, "Victor, help me, Mr. Julian is going to go there."
deck."
"Hold on"
As Wei Ran spoke, he reached under the pillow on the upper bunk and took out the Robert camera that had been dug out of the body of the German navigator and hung it around his neck. Then he walked over and helped Phil and Julian to the ladder.
.
Let Phil climb up the watchtower with the rope first, and Wei Yan also tied the other end of the rope around Julian's waist.
With the cooperation of pulling from above and supporting from below, Julian, whose hands and feet were injured, was helped onto the deck by Phil and Wei Ran.
At the same time, in the smelly buoy, Spear lowered his voice and asked in French, "Heidi, Heidi, do you have the strength now?"
"What's wrong?" Heidi forced herself to ask.
"Do you still remember the radio that Victor threw into the cabinet? It's under your bed." Spear whispered anxiously.
"I know." Heidi got off the bed as she spoke and fumbled to open the cabinet.
"Quick, throw it into the sea!"
Spear immediately said, "Otherwise, once the weather gets better and that damn German pilot uses it to contact the rescue, we will all be caught and killed!"
"But..."
"The two British pilots must want you to do the same!"
Spier's tone became more urgent, "With them here, they will definitely not let the German hurt you, but once the damn German successfully calls for help, neither the two of us nor the two pilots will do anything."
Think about it."
After hearing this, Heidi gritted her teeth. In the end, out of her trust in Spear, she took out the radio distress device from the cabinet. After thinking about it, she picked up a sweater that belonged to Spear and stuffed it into it.
Go, and then climbed up the ladder to the deck.
Carefully, she raised her head and glanced at the three men standing on the wing deck holding the railing to urinate. Heidi quickly opened the door on the other side of the watchtower, lay on the edge of the deck, and put the radio wrapped in a sweater in her hand to call for help.
The device was carefully dropped into the water.
"Wow!"
The rescue device that fell into the water made a fleeting splash of water. Thanks to the sound of the waves, the sound of falling into the water did not attract the attention of the three guards on the other side.
Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Heidi got back into the buoy before the three men finished urinating.
"Did you throw it away?" Spear asked in a low voice before Heidi could stand still.
"Throw it away," Heidi said in a panic.
Hearing this, Spier was obviously relieved, "Now it's better, now the Germans are less likely to find us."
Hearing this, Heidi also glanced at Julian's bed subconsciously, but the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.
"Heidi, Spear, do you want to come up here and get some air?"
At this moment, Wei Yan lay down at the hatch and shouted in French, "If you plan to come up, help Spear under the ladder and tie the rope around your waist."
"Have they discovered it?" Heidi asked in panic.
"No, don't panic, dear." Spear gritted his teeth, "Help me get up, and let's go up and get some air."
Hearing this, Heidi hesitated for a moment, and finally helped Spear get out of the hammock, staggered to the ladder, and tied the rope around her waist.
Dragged by Wei Ran and Phil, Spear, who only had an injured arm, easily climbed onto the deck. A moment later, Heidi also climbed up.
“Still can’t see the stars”
Phil held up the telescope and looked above his head and said with regret. Although the wind and waves had stopped, there were still dark clouds in the sky, and thin sea fog gradually filled the surroundings. Once again, they could not see anything.
arrive.
“At least the air is fresh”
Wei Ran said, having already taken down the oil lamp that had been extinguished in the watchtower, "I'll go down and refill the oil lamp. We need to get something to eat as soon as possible while the weather is calm."
After saying that, without waiting for Phil's response, he took off the oil lamp and returned to the buoy. He slowly filled the lamp with kerosene. Wei Ran observed the buoy again until he determined that the rescue radio was missing.
, then I realized that Heidi, who had just sneaked up, had thrown something into the sea.
Of course the three of them noticed her behavior just now. To be precise, they noticed it when the girl climbed up. Even Julian guessed that she might throw the distress radio into the sea.
Does Julian care?
Of course he didn't care, at least he had just rejected Weiran and Phil's offer to stop the radio station.
In his words, after the mast antenna was missing, the rescue device could no longer function. Instead of leaving it in the buoy and disturbing the two Frenchmen, it would be better to throw it into the sea to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Because of this, the three of them tacitly moved to the edge of the deck before Heidi climbed onto the deck and started competing to see who could pee the farthest, pretending not to notice her little movements at all.
After confirming that the radio was missing, Wei Ran climbed up again with the oil lamp, lit it, adjusted it to maximum brightness, and hung it in the watchtower.
After such a while of busy work, the surrounding fog weakened a little, and in the distance you could even see the red outline of the rising sun jumping out of the horizon.
"Friends, are you interested in taking some photos?" Wei Ran asked in French, and then asked again in English.
"I have no objection." Phil looked at it, "Where should we shoot?"
"Phil has no objection, what about you three?" Wei Ran asked again in French.
"We have no objection either"
Spear smiled and said, "But if it's convenient, I hope to take a photo of Heidi and I alone."
"Of course," Wei Ran said and looked at Julian.
"I don't care." Julian, who had an injured leg, looked around, "It's just in front of the watchtower, right?"
"sure"
Wei Ran nodded happily, took off the oil lamp he had just hung, temporarily hung it on the deck railing, and then directed Heidi and others to stand around the watchtower.
Under the deliberate efforts of Julian and others, Phil and Heidi stood as if they were a couple. Julian stood on the other side of Phil, and Spear stood on the other side of Heidi.
the other side of.
Deliberately moving away from the bright oil lamp on the railing behind him, Wei Ran decisively pressed the shutter after including most of the rising sun's outline in the frame.
"Victor, please take a photo of me and Julian alone first."
Phil waited for Wei Ran to finish filming and said, "Then I'll take him down first, and I'll have to clean them later, change their dressings, and make breakfast."
"no problem"
Wei Ran nodded indifferently, and after Heidi helped Spear get out of the way, he took a group photo of the two of them.
Helping Phil lower Julian down with the rope, Wei Ran took another photo of Spear and Heidi.
"Mr. Victor, thank you for saving Heidi and I." Spear said gratefully while Wei Ran put away the camera.
"It's nothing." Wei Ran smiled, "You should thank Heidi, she saved you."
"I will always be grateful to her for the rest of my life," Spear said affectionately. "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have survived."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Do you need me to help you down?" Wei Ran changed the topic noncommittally. He really couldn't stand the disgusting face of this guy. If it weren't for Heidi
Next to him, he almost accidentally threw the guy into the sea and drowned him.
"Thank you, but no need yet."
Spear smiled gratefully, "Can Heidi and I stay on the deck for a little longer?"
"sure"
Wei Ran nodded happily, "By the way, you can help me keep an eye on the surroundings to see if there are any fishing boats or planes overhead."
"Leave it to us!" Spear promised, patting his chest.
"Ms. Heidi, please be careful, the deck is very slippery."
Wei Ran reminded him with ulterior motives, then picked up the kerosene lamp and walked into the watchtower.
After looking at Spear and Heidi for the last time, Wei Ran hung up the oil lamp without haste, deliberately opened both hatches of the watchtower, and then followed the ladder back to the inside of the buoy.
At this time, Julian had sat on the bed again, and Phil was busy wiping the vomit on the floor with Spear's windbreaker.
Seeing this, Wei Ran also picked up a pair of pants that belonged to Spear and helped wipe the vomit on the floor. From time to time, he would climb up to the deck and use a rope to help throw the two pieces of clothing into the sea to rinse them off and take precautions.
Hold Spear to prevent him from pushing Heidi into the water.
Not long after, Heidi also helped Spear down, and after putting him on the bed, she also picked up a shirt belonging to Spear as a rag and joined in the work of cleaning up the vomit.
After nearly an hour of busy work, the three people finally cleaned up the vomit in the buoy, but thick fog also filled the outside of the buoy.
"Shall we have a drink later?" Julian suggested in French, "There is also a bottle of brandy in the cabinet."
"Phil, Mr. Julian suggested having a drink later." Weiran said to Phil who was sorting out the medicine while heating the cans with an oil stove.
"This is probably the best news today," Phil said in English, "but I have some bad news."
"What bad news?"
Wei Ran secretly glanced at Heidi and Spear, who were sitting side by side on the bed, whispering, and then asked in English with a normal expression.
"Our medicine reserves are low. The swing of the buoy and the vomit on the floor have contaminated most of the medicines. The remaining medicines are only enough to replace the wounds of Mr. Julian and Mr. Spear once."
Phil paused and said conclusively, "In other words, by this time tomorrow, they will have no medicine to use."
"Don't tell Mr. Julian the bad news yet."
Wei Ran said while busy, "Let's all have a drink later. Maybe by tomorrow, we will have been discovered by the rescue ship."
"I hope there will be such a good thing"
Phil muttered worriedly, then switched to Latin, which only he and Julian could understand. After asking for the location of the bottle of brandy, he opened the corresponding cabinet door.
There is a wooden box stuffed in this cabinet. In addition to several bottles of brandy, there are also several bottles of Coca-Cola filled in German glass bottles, as well as several packs of cigarettes, two decks of playing cards and a chess set, plus two small books.
"My Struggle" written by Hu Hu.
“Looks like we’re having fun.”
Phil shouted with a smile on his face, "Not only can we have a drink, but after we are full, we can also play cards or play a few games of chess. To be honest, I am a master of chess."
"Before that, please give me a pack of cigarettes." Wei Ran made his request with a smile.
"We still have cigars."
Phil patted his pants pocket and said, "I'll give you a cigar later."
"Although I don't know what you are talking about, don't forget that we still need someone to stand guard on the deck." Julian reminded in Latin.
"I'll be thinking about it."
Phil weighed the playing cards in his hand and said maliciously in Latin, "Let's eliminate an unlucky guy through the card game later and go to the deck to have some fun."
"What are you going to play?" Julian asked equally confidently.
"Cribbage," Phil said without thinking, "How about we play Cribbage? The first person eliminated will be sent out to watch on the deck."
"No problem" Julian nodded indifferently.
"Friends, after dinner, how about we play Kribiki?"
Phil switched to English and asked, "How about the loser goes to the deck and stands guard, and the winner can have a glass of brandy?"
"I have no objection with Spear." Heidi and Spear were the first to agree after looking at each other.
"I don't have any objections," Wei Ran agreed happily. Thanks to his experience in Love Letters, he really knew how to play this card game.
"We'd better find something to use as chips, that would be interesting." Phil said like a professional gambler.
