Desert Island Records: PUBG

Chapter 89 Deserted Island Life (12)

When his body came into contact with the cool sea water, the familiar sense of distress was evoked from his body, and it spread all over his body in an instant. Zhou Hui thumped his body, without looking at it, and grasped the closest thing to him very skillfully. A thick wooden stick, the body floats on the sea.

After staring blankly for a few seconds, he finally came to his senses, grabbed as many sticks as possible with his hands, and swam towards the beach.

As soon as his outstretched hand touched the beach, Zhou Hui hurriedly climbed up, as if the sea behind him was not broken into broken white waves hitting the beach, but a huge wave that covered the sky and the sun, and was about to hit the beach. come down!

Turning around again, there is no disaster, no blotting waves, only sunny days and ordinary broken white waves lapping on the wet sand.

Sitting on the beach with his whole body drenched, his face was slightly pale with fright. A few seconds later, with the fright still remaining on his face, Zhou Hui squeezed out a bitter smile towards the raft scattered on the sea:
"Failed……"

After resting for a while, he went into the sea again and took back the wooden sticks floating in the shallow sea one by one, because these wooden sticks hadn't drifted away, and since they didn't drift away, they couldn't just be wasted like this.

After taking it back, Zhou Hui calmed down for a while, and started to make the raft again, trying to find a way to make the raft float on the sea successfully. Then, either the raft fell apart, or for some reason, the raft sank into the shallow sea as soon as it was put into the sea water , and even Zhou Hui himself sank into it, and finally struggled and climbed up to the shore of the island with his whole body soaked.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhou Hui's body was wet and dry, dry and wet again and again. Originally, the smell of sea water was washed away with the help of the previous rain, but now the sea water on his body was evaporated by the sun, leaving behind The bitter taste of the sea.

At the end of the sunset, Zhou Hui threw a pile of wood on the ground, and stopped trying to find a way to build a raft. He was a little tired on the beach and started dinner in a depressed mood.

Fortunately, the dinner and the beautiful starry sky comforted his broken heart very well.

On the second day of making the raft, the sun was still shining. According to the method of making the raft yesterday, Zhou Hui continued to make the raft repeatedly.

Today's progress was smoother. Under the sunshine, the crude raft was floating in the shallow sea. When Zhou Hui struggled to climb up, the raft did not disperse, or let Zhou Hui sink directly into the sea!

Of course, such a success is just the beginning. He still needs to make the raft more confining and bigger, and also needs to make sails, arrange devices for pushing the raft into the sea, and make oars and observe the wind direction. Also need to transfer everything from making the raft to the big raft... Anyway, this is just the beginning.

Sitting on the raft floating on the sea, Zhou Hui was slightly excited, the first step of excitement was finally completed.

Then, the raft that didn't sink to the bottom of the sea floated towards the ocean, drifting farther and farther...

Flying farther and farther...

Far……

It's really drifting away... Zhou Hui watched the raft below him gradually drift towards the boundless deep blue ocean driven by the waves of the sea and with the cooperation of the sea wind, his face changed slightly.

So he quickly got down on his stomach, stretched his hands into the sea water, and used his arms as oars to paddle the sea water.

It turned out to be useless.

However, although Zhou Hui was nervous, he didn't worry too much, because he would be tricked soon!
The raft came to a halt on the sea.

Zhou Hui was suddenly stopped by the raft, and fell on it due to inertia, but luckily he did not fall into the sea.

He raised his head and looked towards the island, and saw a woven vine tied at one end to this simple raft, and the other tied to a reef exposed on the sea.

Seeing that the measures were really successful, Zhou Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a protection measure he made in advance, just for this kind of situation. What he didn't expect was that such a measure was really used. Fortunately, the measure was successful, and it was broken without a single hit.

Then, Zhou Hui climbed to the back of the raft, grabbed the woven vines, and carefully pulled the raft back with him.

However, because he was still carrying a raft on board, Zhou Hui exerted all his strength and took a long time to barely support the seawater that was rushing back, and next to the seawater that was blowing back, he lifted the raft to the beach little by little.

As soon as his fingers touched the beach, Zhou Hui lay down on the beach in exhaustion, and it was really possible that he almost couldn't come back just now.

After that, Zhou Hui spent countless hours making the raft, fell into the sea water countless times, fell asleep exhausted at night, and then woke up during the day to continue working.

Making a raft is not just about simply making a raft, he also needs to learn how to control the raft, not just drifting with the current, after all, his goal is to go to another island, not just float on the sea.

One of the most difficult problems is how to fix the sails. It is difficult to really fix the sails on such a raft, because the raft is just a layer of wood, not like the land. A pit is dug, and the sails are planted on the soil. Here, the soil touches the bottom of the sail in a large area and is easy to fix.

This is what Zhou Hui tried many times but failed, and it became his most troublesome thing.

There were a few days when the weather was not very good, or it was raining, or the sea wind was very strong, so it was not suitable for work, so Zhou Hui put the iron pot outside to catch the rain, and he stayed in the tent obediently, and then Sleep in if conditions permit.

In short, because of my hard work these days, I don't feel much emptiness in my heart, and I'm generally in a good mood.

After many days, the raft could easily sail on the sea, and Zhou Hui also built a simple oar, but he still felt that these preparations were insufficient and more experiments were needed.

He remembered that a survival expert made a simple raft in one day, and he could go to sea. Compared with himself who had prepared for more than ten days, he was in heaven and earth, but he was not a survival expert. Many things on the island are done for the first time, and he really has no experience, so it takes him a long time to do things that are easy for survivalists to do.

The most important thing is that this matter is related to my own life, so no matter how long it takes, it won't be too long.

Since conditions permit, it is better to be more cautious.

One day, sitting on the sand, looking at the raft that had already taken shape on the beach, Zhou Hui felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart, and couldn't help but feel.

He reckoned that if this continues, the real raft should be out of the oven after another ten or so days of construction.

And that was the ultimate and safest raft he imagined he could build. He had experienced it once, but he didn't want to experience the painful feeling of surviving on a raft alone in the ocean again.

The sun moved westward, and it was a little late for lunch today. Just as Zhou Hui started a fire, he prepared to spend some time today. When the coconut crab he found from the island forest was put into the pot, he found that the sky became cloudy at some point , the beach soon began to drizzle.

Zhou Hui stood up and saw that the gloom over the island was not very serious. Then he looked towards the ocean and saw that the ocean in the west was not so calm, the sea was rough, and the sky above the ocean was cloudy.

The dark blue ocean stained with shadows is in contact with the thick clouds above, like a world of shadows intertwined. The large area of ​​shadows continues to diffuse more light around it, as if it is an open world. A gate to a kingdom belonging to the shadow world...
