Chapter 654 Lifeboat

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    But satisfaction is satisfaction, even if he knew the approximate direction, he would not be able to leave the island.  Is it possible to swim for two days and two nights to reach land?  No normal person would have this idea.

    So we still use the old method of lying on the barrel and floating back?  Even if Lin Rui was beaten to death, he would not want to do it again. His ability to survive until now was largely due to luck.  Of course, he also knew that luck would not always be on his side.

    "It seems we can only wait." Lin Rui looked at the deserted island and sighed.  He had never been so helpless.  Now if someone tells him nonsense that man can defeat God, he will slap that person hard.  This sentence is only spoken by those who can stand and speak without pain in their backs.  And the person who can say this is definitely not alone on an island.

    Only when a person truly faces this boundless sea will he realize the insignificance of human power.  In such an almost desperate situation, it is not easy for people to be able to face it calmly.

    Lin Rui is obviously this type of person. The first thing he does is to rest quietly and recover his strength.  After two days, when his body recovered a little, he liked to walk around the island.  The island is not big, and he has visited every corner of the island.  Where there are trees, where there are a few banana trees, where there are often some edible shellfish found on the beach, he almost remembers them all in his mind.

    The pool on the island should be the rainwater accumulated during the last rainfall. This is the only fresh water and the guarantee for Lin Rui's survival.  So he goes there every day to check it out.  The water level has been gradually declining in the past few days, and Lin Rui doesn't know if he can leave before this small pool dries up.  If no ships pass by before the water dries up, his days are almost over.

    So Lin Rui lit a bonfire by the beach every night.  Thanks to the sharp knife at his side, it had a flint in the handle, and he could also use it to cut down some small branches for fuel.

    Lin Rui still does restorative running every day, running around the island.  Both to get some exercise and to find some food at the beach.  And most of the time he spent adding damp leaves to the fire.  Because it is difficult to see the fire during the day, but the smoke is very conspicuous.  When wet leaves are placed over a fire, the smoke will be thick.

    For a whole week, he repeated this situation, hoping for a ship to appear nearby.  Unfortunately, there never was.  This is the sea near Libya.  The serious war has affected normal trade and transportation, and there were not many ships traveling.  And the location of this small island is not yet on the shipping line.

    Whether there will be a ship coming or not is really uncertain.  But Lin Rui still persists in doing so. He believes that only by trying hard will he have more opportunities.  But he was disappointed again and again.  Two weeks later, he already had to face a problem - the water source was about to dry up.

    The pool on the island is not big, and Lin Rui doesn't drink that much fresh water, but the pool is still getting shallower.  Because in addition to the water he consumes for drinking, this pool is still seeping and losing underground.  Perhaps it will take another rain for the pool to fill up again.  But can Lin Rui wait until it rains?  he does not know.

    But just when he felt most helpless, his luck came.  One day at noon, he clearly saw the shadow of a ship in the distance on a rock on the beach.  Lin Rui rushed to the beach in ecstasy, waving his arms wildly, taking off his clothes and shaking them in his hands, trying to attract the attention of the crew on the ship.

    This was the first time in half a month that he saw someone passing by, and his ecstasy almost made him forget everything.  Even if a group of vicious pirates came at this time, he would have the urge to go up and kiss them.  It's not easy. The life on this island is so difficult. The loneliness is so deep that it almost makes people collapse.

    This looks like a fishing boat, but it obviously looks like it has been modified.  The overly large cargo hold and the machine gun on the bow seemed to indicate that this was a smuggling ship.  At this time, only smuggling ships have the courage to operate in the nearby waters.  And because they are smuggling, they avoid major shipping routes and take routes that few people travel through.

    The ship came over, and Lin Rui suddenly rushed into the sea and swam hard towards the ship.  Several armed men came out of the boat and put him on board.  But these smugglers are not good people.  Everyone looked at Lin Rui fiercely, with weapons in their hands.

    "Hey, man, you look really embarrassed." One of them frowned and said, "What's wrong? Did you meet a pirate?"

    Lin Rui smiled, looked at these people and said, "It's much more serious than this. I met an army."

    "Ha, you're not talking about the Coastal Anti-Smuggling Team, are you? So you are also on the same team?" AThe outfitter looked at Lin Rui and said, "Where are your ship and crew?"

    "I'm not a smuggler, but I can give you a lot of money." Lin Rui looked at them and said directly, "Let's make a deal. You take me back to Libya and I'll give you $10,000. That's what I said  It¡¯s 10,000 per person.¡±

    A man who looked like a captain frowned and said, "There are six of us here, and I am the captain. According to the rules, I take double portions."

    "Seventy thousand, I can afford it, as long as you can get me back to the port." Lin Rui looked at them and said.

    "Seventy thousand dollars?" The smuggling captain looked at him and shook his head, whispering to his companions, "Is this guy a madman? I don't think he has ten dollars in his body."

    "It looks like it to me. In my opinion, we shouldn't meddle in this business at all. We are just a group of smugglers, not a damn humanitarian rescue group. Maybe it is the right choice for us to kick him off the ship." Among them.  A smuggler shook his head.

    "What are you talking about? Rescuing shipwrecked crew members has been a centuries-old rule in the sailor industry. Even some pirates follow this principle. Besides, what if what he said is true? For $70,000, we can buy two  Such a boat." Someone objected.

    "We don't know who he is at all, and it would be a big risk to save him. Maybe he is from the Coast Anti-Smuggling Team?"

    "Brother, are you stupid? He is a yellow man. The anti-smuggling team is not a football team. When did they recruit foreign players? Besides, that's 70,000 US dollars, a total of 70,000 US dollars." A crew member was obviously tempted.

    "It sounds good, but you have to be able to get the money. This guy is just talking, who knows if he is lying to us?" the captain frowned.  "Besides, it's a bit unethical to let a stranger come on board. Let's search him first, then tie him up and throw him into the back cabin. Wait until we finish this transaction."
