Chapter seven hundred and seventy-sixth storm in the night
There is no moon today, and the waves are dark and undulating.
After entering the interior, there are no ocean currents in the South Pacific. Whenever there are waves, it means there is a big wind on the sea, sweeping across the entire ocean with great force.
Yesterday there was still more than half of the moon, but tonight it disappeared without a trace. This is not in line with the basic rules of the moon's appearance, so something else appeared in the sky to cover it.
The only thing that can cover the moon in the sky is dark clouds.
Strong wind, dark clouds, and slightly stuffy air.
Any experienced sailor can easily tell that a storm is coming.
Bi Fang sat on the bow of the boat and ate shark patties. He held the wooden cup and took small sips to replenish water. Only when he was well hydrated could he dare to eat such a large amount of food. He had to eat. What followed was a tough battle.
.
The sails were lowered early.
It was pitch black all around, without any light, and it was impossible to determine the direction.
There were no stars to be seen, nothing else was in sight, and I couldn't even see my fingers.
Bi Fang did not dare to gamble that he would not be blown to some unknown place while pulling the sail. If he was lucky, he would travel a thousand miles overnight. If he was not lucky, his efforts for several days might be in vain.
The atmosphere was unusually quiet, even Bifang eating meat didn't make the slightest sound. It was like the solemnity before the war, or the calm before the storm. Oh, no, this is the calm before the storm.
[What to do, I’m already starting to panic]
[Don’t panic, hug Fang Shen tightly]
[I want to have an adventure with Fang Shen, and be held in his arms and comforted softly by him when I encounter danger (love eyes), ah, I'm dead]
【What a Mary Sue plot!】
【Now is fantasy time, the bubbles are endless】
[Is there a possibility, I mean possibility, that Fang Shen will use you as a reserve food (dog head)]
[Shipwreck cannibals, right?]
[Speak carefully, what is this?]
"A classic example of a shipwreck." Bi Fang swallowed a mouthful of shark meat. He had been paying attention to the barrage. "In 1884, a cruise ship named 'Osphorus' set sail from Southampton, Central China, and sailed to the sea.
"
"More than a month later, on July 5, when the cruise ship was sailing northwest of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, it encountered a storm and sank quickly."
"Four crew members escaped to the only lifeboat. The living environment at sea was very harsh. The crew members lacked food and water. During the first two days of drifting, they did not eat. On the third day, they were so hungry and thirsty that they opened the trap when escaping.
Share the canned radishes that arrived."
"On the fifth day, they caught a turtle and barely survived on it and the remaining cans. For the next eight days, there was no food or water. They could only occasionally use an oilcloth cloak to catch a little rainwater to survive."
"On the sixteenth day, two crew members began to fall ill. On the nineteenth day, the 17-year-old crew member Richard Parker was in a deep coma. In desperation, the captain made a difficult decision. He suggested drawing lots to decide in exchange for someone's death.
The survival of others.”
"One of the crew members refused and the proposal to draw lots was rejected."
"But the next day, they still couldn't see any hope of rescue, so one of the crew members, Stephens, suggested to sacrifice Parker on the hint of the captain."
"After praying, Stephens held down the unconscious crew member, and the captain stabbed the crew member in the throat with a knife, ending his life. Then, the three of them fed on the flesh and blood of the dead crew member for four days.
Fortunately, he was rescued by an approaching ship."
Bi Fang put the empty wooden cup into the slot, covered it with the water-blocking lid, and pressed it lightly with two fingers.
"This is a very famous case of shipwreck. Basically everyone who studies law knows about it, and professional survivors also know about such a historic event."
"I remember exactly what the judge said after the case."
"Although we refuse to admit that certain inducements can be used as an excuse for crime, we should not forget the inducements in this case: the environment is so bad, the pain is so unbearable, and the need to maintain correct judgment and good behavior is
of difficulty.”
"We are often forced to establish standards that we ourselves cannot meet, to set rules that we ourselves cannot abide by. However, a person has no right to claim that inducement is a reason for exculpation, even if he himself may succumb to such inducement;
People have no right to try to change or weaken the definition of crime because they sympathize with crime."
Bi Fang turned the water-blocking cap and tightened it to prevent it from being lost due to the storm. Then he added some seawater into the bucket.
This evaporation device is Bi Fang's favorite work. It is polished very smoothly and is made by hollowing out an entire tree stump. It is almost a whole piece.
Seawater accumulates at the bottom of the drum, and after evaporation, it falls into the wooden cup in the center under the action of the water-blocking cover that looks like an inverted bucket hat.
The weather is still hot now, and a lot of water can be accumulated every day during the day, and sometimes there is even some leftover.
Bi Fang wrapped the shark meat in palm leaves, then wrapped it in canvas. Finally, he took out a piece of hemp rope from the bow of the ship, tied some of his tools and supplies to the hull, and reinforced the Viking along the way.
The connection platform between the USS and the aircraft carrier.
Although the hull of the aircraft carrier is not deep, it is not completely empty. There are some logs and wooden boards inside, which are fixed to it with ropes wrapped around it several times. These are all substitute materials in the event of an accident.
"It is actually extremely difficult for normal people to survive. Without sufficient knowledge base and insufficient ability to act, they will be blocked and hit the wall at every turn. Every step will be like walking on thin ice. With so few supplies, he will not be able to survive.
Know whether what you are doing is right, whether it is delaying death or accelerating death."
"It's normal for them to be afraid. It's really normal. Everyone will be afraid when facing death, especially meaningless death. This is perfectly normal."
"The heart is beating crazily, the brain is deprived of oxygen, and the thinking seems to be stagnant. When making some simple tools, my hands shake. You want to make a harpoon, but you don't have the materials. You will make mistakes when making it, and even cut your fingers and bleed.
As noted, severe pain stimulates your brain and makes you more desperate."
"No food, no water, no companions, no hope."
"These are the normal conditions for survival."
【What the hell is this immersive feeling all about?】
【Why do I have such a strong sense of empathy! (Crying)】
"I have demonstrated many, many techniques, which seem to be very easy. I can save myself from danger every time. I have never encountered a real desperate situation, but you need to understand one thing, that is me, not you."
"The storm is coming."
Bi Fang stood up with a solemn expression.
In the dark world, a branch-shaped lightning grew rapidly in the clouds.
