The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 506
Since we have to wait for a month, our life at sea this month has become a problem. There is no shortage of oil and salt, but the main shortage is fresh water and fuel oil.

In order to save fuel, when the ghost island is exposed at night, we will go to the island to pick up things like clams and lobsters. After picking up the meat, we will process the meat, cut it into pieces, and put it on the deck during the day. When it is eaten, it is soaked in water, and it can be eaten with a little salt.

This tastes pretty bad, but under the condition of saving fuel, exposure to the sun is currently the most reliable way to kill parasites. Occasionally catch some salmon, and you can also eat some sashimi. Will cook the fish pot once.

Confucius said that food and sex are the most primitive pursuits of human beings, and this is indeed true.We and Ah Zi's group originally disliked each other, although we would not turn our faces into a fight, but when we met on the boat, we snorted coldly and turned our faces to one side.

But it didn't take long, as soon as the fish pot was served, the chopsticks in everyone's hands were like knives and guns, and the pot was turned upside down. Anyone who was slow to start couldn't even get a piece of potato.In the process of snatching food, everyone gradually changed from dislike to each other to sympathy for each other. They had nothing to do during the day, so they simply formed a team and went fishing together.Of course, Ah Zi, who has a life-and-death enmity with me, is still at odds with me, and I am the same in this regard. I have not forgotten that this woman shot me to kill me before.

After half a month at sea, there are only a few people who don’t look up and look down, and they are all familiar with each other. The fresh water resources at sea are inherently precious, and with the addition of the four of us, the consumption is also high. Freshwater crisis.

The only way to collect fresh water at sea is to wait for it to rain, but there is a drought here, and I guess it will be difficult for the rain to fall to our area.

In order to collect enough rainwater, Zhou Xuanye had to let Hanba roll away, so Hanba drove a motorboat and decided to go out to hide for two days.

As soon as the Hanba left, the effect was really immediate. That night, the navigator told us that the wind strengthened and there might be rain tonight.

Everyone cheered, opened the fish tank for water storage, and moved out various water-holding tools to wait for a timely rain.

But soon, the navigator said again: "Don't be too happy, the current wind is still gradually strengthening. If this continues, what is waiting is not only rain, but also a storm at sea." The navigator of this ship is a Young people, who like to joke more on weekdays and get along well with everyone, are currently Tang Linlin's new target.At this moment, his expression changed from his usual hippie smile to seriousness, and everyone couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Ah Zi frowned and said, "Storm at sea? Will the situation be serious?"

He said: "Storms are divided into grades. At sea, they can be dealt with below grade 6, and they are dangerous when they reach grade 7."

Tang Linlin said, "Then how strong is the wind now?"

The navigator frowned and said, "Level 6, but the wind speed is still increasing, and I feel a little overwhelmed."

Tan Ren frowned and looked up at the sky. It was around four o'clock in the afternoon. Normally, the sun was still hot in the sky at this time, but today, the sun was dimmed. There were thick dark clouds, as if they were about to be blown by the wind.

Wangshan runs to death, and so does Wangyun. Although it looks very close, I know that it will take a long time for the dark cloud to move over.

The navigator took a long breath and said, "I will continue to observe, and for the sake of safety, everyone should make preparations now and moor the ship to the 'port'.

The port he mentioned is the natural five-pointed star inner corner port of Ghost Island. Although it is still hidden in the water, it will be revealed at night when the sea falls with the tide.Our ships have always been moored in the inner corner port. According to what he said now, he intends to add a few more ropes.

The rest of the people on board said that there was no problem, so the navigator directed them to make a horizontal connection to prevent the wind from being too strong and the strength of the rope uneven, causing the ship to capsize.His swift action made everyone feel anxious.

I looked at Zhou Xuanye, and couldn't help saying: "Brother Zhou, we won't be so unlucky, right?"

He said: "It's not certain, with you, any unlucky things may happen."

I felt despised, a little depressed, and said, "Brother Zhou, can you blame me? Speaking of this, I was surprised. Didn't you say that if I do good deeds and accumulate virtue, my luck will not drop? You see... originally I can be a rich man worth tens of millions, but for that damn luck, I spent all my wealth, but why is my luck still going down all the way? Brother Zhou, are you cheating me?"

Zhou Xuanye choked for a moment, and said with a stern face: "You are still alive, but you are lucky, and you still want to get rich? Just dream."

As time passed, the wind started to strengthen as the navigator expected, and the navigator's face became more and more serious. Finally, he gave us a wind rating of 10.

I don't know much about this aspect, but with a wind force of level ten, it's not too small to land on land, let alone at sea?
What does a Category [-] storm at sea look like?
At first, when they heard the number reported by the navigator, everyone didn't react too much. After all, they didn't know much about the ocean, and they didn't know what level ten meant.But when we saw the navigator's pale face and straight eyes, we realized that something was wrong.

On the noisy and lively ship, there was a moment of silence.After a while, Tang Linlin broke the silence and murmured, "I knew Han Ba ​​shouldn't be allowed to leave. Let him come back now. Will this storm disappear?"

Zhou Xuanye said calmly: "The agreement is to come back in two days. Where can I find him? Besides, he is a Hanba, and he doesn't work part-time as Thunder God, Lightning Mother, Wind Master and Rain God."

I said: "You always tell jokes when you shouldn't be humorous, we can't laugh at all, okay?"

Zhou Xuanye touched his nose, looking at the sky speechlessly.All possible preparations have been made. If it is on land, there are many ways to deal with natural disasters, but here at sea, we really can't do anything.

Don't bully the mountain, don't bully the water, that's the truth.

At about six o'clock in the evening, the water level gradually dropped, and we began to draw in the ropes so that the boat was close to the port.

Fortunately, the island of Ghost Island is relatively high. Hiding in the port and blocking the wind on three sides can avoid many dangers. But even so, standing on the deck, you can feel the wind getting stronger and stronger, and finally blow people When we could hardly keep our eyes open, we had to hide in the cabin and close all the windows.

Dark clouds covered the area, and the sky was getting darker earlier than usual. On the left and right sides of the ship, there were four ropes tightly tied to the left and right reefs. The current is swaying, and I, who is not seasick, feel a little dizzy after staying in it for more than an hour.

Because the windows were closed, the air in the ship was relatively stuffy. The navigator kept frowning and staring at the navigator. Although the rest of us didn't speak, we were all distracted and looked out from time to time.

The swaying boats, the sound of huge wind and waves, like a movie theater with surround sound, there is no room for people's ears to escape.The rising waves were getting higher and higher, beating against the black reefs, and some even touched the deck.

We closed the doors and windows tightly, so we couldn't directly feel the wind, but the waves that came up from time to time were like hitting people's hearts.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sound other than the waves, a slap, like something hitting our deck, or the sound of wood breaking.

The voice was very clear, and I wasn't the only one who heard it. Everyone was in a state of confusion at the moment, but suddenly there was such a sound, and I couldn't calm down all of a sudden.

A man nicknamed Er Mazi stood up in the team and said in a panic, "What's that sound?"

AhZi pursed her lips, frowned and said, "It came from the back of the boat."

Er Mazi swallowed, and said, "Do you want to go out and have a look? Did you hit a rock?"

Ah Zi said: "I haven't sailed a boat, hit some kind of reef, at most hit twice on the reef, this boat is not made of tofu." Although the place where we are mooring is a natural port, after all, it has not been artificially rested, and the surrounding area is a bit rough. The protruding reef, under the attack of the wind and waves, the ship will inevitably collide with the reef, but the ship does not have a power system, and the strength of the wind and waves alone will not cause too much damage to the hull. After all, the current ship is not ancient. The boats at that time were all wooden, but the hulls of today's boats are made of iron, which is so easy to break.

Er Mazi said: "Then how did that sound come from just now?" As soon as the words fell, there was another clacking sound from the back of the boat.

You know, the wind and waves are very loud now, and we have closed the doors and windows, which has a certain sound insulation effect.Under such circumstances, we can all hear the sound behind the ship, indicating that the source of the sound is very loud.

At this moment, the navigator said: "Go out and have a look. Behind is our fish cabin. The fresh water we will use next depends on that fish cabin."

Er Mazi said: "At this time, are you still in the mood to care about the fish cabin?"

The navigator stared at the navigator without turning his head, and said: "Why don't you care, we will die if there is no fresh water, and if the storm continues to increase, we may die too, the difference between early death and late death, so, both sides Nothing can happen. Quick, go out and see what's going on."

Right now the wind and waves outside are too big, it is inconvenient for people to go out, so I said: "No, I'll let the kid go out and have a look."
