I couldn't see clearly what he looked like. There was only a dark sky. The only thing I could see clearly was that his hair was very long. When the wind blew, his hair was scattered everywhere. Although the sky was very dark, it did not affect the vision.
, that is a very clear human shape, but who is this person?
Why does he live on this desert island? Why is he at the top of the mountain? Is he an enemy or a friend? Will he pose a threat to our lives? This figure only has a few seconds to live.
When I stared at him, he quickly disappeared.
"Zhongyi, what are you looking at?" Mai Lao's voice brought me back to reality.
"I...I seem to see a figure on the top of the mountain opposite." I turned to look at Mr. Mai and said.
"Haha, are you too nervous and hallucinating? Why didn't I see it?" Mr. Mai patted my arm, looking very relaxed.
I shook my head gently and said, "It's not an illusion. This is definitely not an illusion."
Mr. Mai looked at me seriously and said, "This is a desert island. How could there be other people besides us? Stop thinking about it. Let's go back quickly. Jenny and the others are still waiting for us."
I looked at him and said, "Maybe I'm too nervous, forget it, don't think about it, go back."
The two of us hurried back one step at a time, and on the way I asked him curiously, "Mr. Mai, what kind of trees are these? Why are they so strange?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it either, maybe... maybe it's some rare species." Mai Lao's explanation was far-fetched.
"A rare species? There are trees like this all around this deserted island. They look scary." I followed him, but kept looking around.
Old Man Mai said without replying, "Now that you've come, let's make peace with it. Don't think about these things."
The two of us followed the original route and returned. Jenny and the others were still waiting for us. After seeing me and Mr. Mai coming back, Jenny stood up in a hurry and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"
I shook my head and said, "No, it is simply desolate. If we go further, we will reach the sea. We can't get out at all."
Mai Lao asked us to take stock of all the equipment we currently have. We found an open place on the shore to sit around. After looking carefully, we found that there were not many things we could use.
Food and water sources are definitely gone. This is the biggest problem at the moment and must be solved as soon as possible. I still have two spearguns, three waterproof flashlights, four insufficient oxygen bottles, a set of ropes, and a small bundle.
There can be about a dozen fluorescent sticks.
Chang Shan worked hard to bring this over. It must be said that he is still very smart, and the light stick is quite useful at critical moments.
In addition to Jenny, Lao Wang, and the maintenance worker Xiao Huzi, each of us also has a short knife and a diving watch. In addition, there is a small black plastic box. There is nothing else, no compass, and no compass.
There is no equipment that can communicate with the outside world, and there is not even an extra piece of clothing.
The people who went into the water before us are still wearing wetsuits. These are the only equipment available now. Everything else has sunk into the sea along with the fishing boats.
"What's in this box?" I picked it up and took a look. It was a small black box that was tightly closed. It was rectangular. The size of the box was about the same as a shoe box. I couldn't see what was inside at all. I used
I shook my hand, but there was no sound.
"I don't know, I got this from Big Beard last time. I saw this thing floating on the sea, so I took it in case it was useful." Jiao Ba said next to him.
I showed it to Mr. Mai and said, "What is this? I can't understand it."
Mr. Mai took it and looked at it, then tried to open it, but unfortunately it was too tight and couldn't be opened at all. "I can't understand it either. Bring me a knife and I'll pry it open first."
I handed him a diving knife. Mr. Mai took it and started to scratch along the sealing position with the diving knife. Even though his arm was injured, it was still very powerful. He forcefully opened the plastic box.
Cut it open.
After he opened the box, there were eight things inside, about the size of a fist, wrapped in a layer of sponge. "What the hell are these?" I took it over and tore open the sponge.
.
When I took out the contents, I was immediately surprised. It was actually a military grenade. "It's a grenade." I looked at Mr. Mai and said with a surprised look on his face.
Mai Lao also looked surprised, and quickly opened the remaining ones. Sure enough, the remaining seven were also grenades, all uniformly black, and they were all destructive weapons.
"It can't be fake, right?" Jiao Ba was a little doubtful, so he picked it up and looked left and right.
Mr. Mai picked up a grenade and looked at it carefully and said, "It's not a fake, it's indeed a real grenade. I didn't expect that the bearded man even had grenades."
"Old Ba, you did a great job in this job, you deserve praise." I patted Jiao Ba on the shoulder. There's no guarantee that grenades will come in handy at any time, but they can save lives at critical moments.
Shunzi and others quickly came over to take a look. The big man said with a silly smile, "Hey, good guy, this is the first time I've seen a real grenade in my life."
Jiao Ba glanced at him and said shamelessly, "How's it going? You can gain some experience by following me."
The big man chuckled and said, "Well, it's an eye-opener. Mr. Mai, can you give me this to play with?"
Mai Lao looked at him and said, "This thing is very dangerous. If you don't play well, it will kill you." When the big man heard this, his face changed and he quickly shut up.
"Zhongyi, you should keep these grenades. You should know when to use them best." Mr. Mai gave me the box containing the grenades directly.
I took it and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for now and distribute it to everyone when it's time to use it."
Chang Shan suddenly said at this time, "Now is not the time to be happy. We have no food. How will we spend tonight?"
"Yes, Mr. Mai, think of something quickly. I can't stand this sea breeze anymore." Jenny crossed her arms and was trembling all over. In fact, she was not the only one like this, but Li Xin was too. The two women were close to each other, their bodies
All had obvious tremors.
This island can't be said to be very cold, it just feels a bit dark. It has that kind of strange humidity that makes people feel uncomfortable all over. The sea breeze blows on your body, just like an air conditioner, cooling you down. Is it really like Jiao Ba Suo?
Say, this ghost place is too dark?
I remembered the figure I saw on the top of the mountain again. I saw him twice in a row. I believed that this was definitely not a mistake, let alone an illusion.
Mr. Mai looked at me and said, "Zhongyi, when you were in the army, you should have received wilderness survival training. What do you think we should do?" This old guy was good, he just threw the problem to me.
I scratched my head and said, "Well... I have done this before, but it was just training. I have never experienced how to actually survive on a desert island like this." I didn't dare to make a random decision, after all, it wasn't me.
It's my own business.
Steamed Bun said a little anxiously, "As long as there is a way, I'm so hungry that I'm almost exhausted. I have to get enough food and clothing quickly. I don't want to starve to death."
"Me too, I'm so hungry that my eyes are dazzled." Jiao Ba interrupted appropriately. From the moment he woke up, he kept shouting that he was hungry.
"Okay, not only you are hungry, but everyone is also hungry." In fact, I was hungrier than them, and the wound was still aching, but I never opened my mouth, for fear of bringing pressure to everyone.
Li Xin was trembling and said, "If we want to survive here tonight, we must have a fire source, otherwise it will be difficult for us to persist."
Li Xin is right, fire is a necessity for survival in the wild, but where can we make fire? Even if we want to drill wood to make fire, it is very difficult. Just after the storm, it is difficult to find extremely dry trees. This damn weather
It's been dark all the time, there's not even a sun, so it's hard to light a fire.
"I also know the importance of fire sources, but we don't have anything to make a fire. It has been dark today, so we can only try to find some dry branches to drill wood to make fire." I really have no idea, and
That's all.
Xiao Huzi sat opposite me and said, "I remember, I had a waterproof lighter on me." As he spoke, he kept turning over his body.
His words immediately cheered me up, "Do you have a lighter?"
Xiao Huzi searched for a long time and suddenly said excitedly, "I found it, then... here it is." As he spoke, he threw a lighter into my hand.
I took it over and took a look. It was indeed a waterproof lighter. It looked very new on the outside. It was a waterproof lighter for civilian use. It was made of stainless steel and looked very high-end.
After everyone saw this lighter, everyone's face showed a look of anticipation, even the always calm Mr. Mai. This is our life-saving tool.
I opened the lid and tried to hit it twice, but I didn't see any reaction. "Damn it, water won't get in at the critical moment, right?" After tossing it all the way from the sea, I don't know if this thing is guaranteed. If I buy it,
A counterfeit product is a scam for us.
"Blessed by our ancestors, we must take action." Jiao Ba muttered quietly beside him, more anxious than anyone else.
I tried a few more times, and finally a flame burst out with a "swipe" sound. When the lighter was lit, everyone was so excited that they almost howled. Under such harsh conditions, it turned out that
Even a flame can bring people hope.
In order not to waste the energy of the lighter, I turned off the lighter and said, "It will be easier if we have a fire. Lao Ba and Mai Lao, follow me out to find branches for firewood. Shunzi, take a few people to the sea to catch fish and do your best."
That's fine, you can catch as many as you can, and the women can just stay and look at things. Do you guys have any opinions?" Since Mr. Mai asked me to make the decision, I'll just speak directly.
"It's okay if you say so." Steamed Bun said quietly, his tone could not be distinguished as good or bad, neither cold nor hot.
Mr. Mai immediately stood up and said, "That's it, Zhongyi, let's go."....
