Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 153 Trapped
I saw that thing that emerged from the sea, it was our ship, and it was floating on the sea wetly at the moment, swinging back and forth with the tide.

I have seen too many strange things, but I have never experienced anything like this.Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that once a boat enters the water upside down, it is impossible to float again, because the inside of the hull will be filled with water, and the buoyancy balance of the boat will be broken when the boat is turned upside down, and it will only sink faster to the bottom of the sea.

Therefore, seeing the dripping boats suddenly jumping out of the sea, everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.

At this moment, the storm was indeed much smaller, and the waves were not so fierce. We were stunned for a long time before we realized it. We didn't care about why the boat miraculously floated up, and a group of people swam towards the boat.

After boarding the boat, everything inside has been destroyed, and the water is full of gold. The only thing to be relieved is that our equipment bags are placed in the fish cabin. The door of the fish cabin is usually locked, so the equipment inside is not damaged. any impact.

Everyone boarded the boat, although the inside of the hull was full of sea water, they had to relax psychologically, or sit or lie down on the boat.Carp struggled to go to the command room for inspection, shook his head at us after a while, and said with a wry smile: "It's all broken. This ship is useless now except as a shelter." He pulled his hair and said, "This is mine. Rice bowl, what should I do now?"

Professor Lin calmed down and said that there would be compensation measures from above, so Li Yu calmed down a bit, but his expression was still gloomy.In this period of time, the torrential rain has stopped, and the turbulent tide before came quickly, and now it goes away quickly. Tofu speculated, "Could it be those two beads that have played a role?"

I shook my head, and said: "These strange things, maybe, what I'm thinking about is why this ship floats by itself."

Gu Wenmin said thoughtfully: "At that time, I saw a huge black shadow under the sea, and this ship seemed to be pushed up by that black shadow."

Shadow?

Could it be some sea monster?Can a fishing boat of more than 20 meters be topped up, is it some kind of large whale?This kind of thing is not impossible, but such a small chance, will we encounter it?I couldn't help but stood on the edge of the boat and looked down. The sea was deep and deep, and I couldn't see anything unusual.At this moment, the thick clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the sunlight projected down through the cracks in the clouds. At first, it was a wisp, and then it was overwhelming, and the entire dark sea was rebuilt into light.

All of this came too suddenly, and went too suddenly, back and forth, but in about three hours, from the 15-level hurricane to the clouds and fog, we walked back and forth between life and death. Gathered on the deck, even if the sun shines down, it can't expel the bodies that are drenched in sea water.

After a while, Duan Fei sneezed, her delicate face was pale, she folded her arms and shivered, and said, "Let's get warm first, it's too cold."

Aying said: "The fuel is still there, I'll go down and get some." She was also exhausted, so Tofu and I followed to help.The first floor of the cabin was also filled with water, but it should have flowed out a lot when the boat came out of the water, so the water level was not high, and it only spread to the position of our calves. A few socks.

We went to the closed fish cabin to get the stove and fuel, lit it on the deck, took out clean clothes from the equipment bag and changed into it, and warmed up by the fire, only then did we feel the blood start to flow all over our body.

During the heating process, everyone began to discuss the next thing.First of all, the navigation system of our ship had failed two hours ago, that is to say, we had such an accident, and there was no way to send a signal for help.Secondly, there is also a problem with the power system of the ship. The specific problem has yet to be detected by the carp. We may be able to fix it and then return to the voyage.

Now, we must first ensure our own safety.It is obviously unwise to let the ship drift aimlessly on the sea without being able to control the ship.Tofu had an idea, and made a suggestion, pointing to the reefs where we were staying before, and said that we should fix the ship on the sides of the reefs, and we can wait here for the repair of the power system. Even if the power system cannot be repaired, the same It is better to wait for rescue somewhere than to be adrift at sea.

All countries have surveillance aircraft, we need to always pay attention to the movement of the sea and the sky, so as not to miss the rescue.Now let’s talk about Time and Space Island is no longer reliable, our action this time, because this sea is difficult to fail.

Gu Wenmin said softly: "We can't send signals by ourselves, so waiting for rescue will be a very long process. The longest rescue I know is that a fishing boat in a foreign country was killed, and it is similar to our situation. Since it was unable to send a distress signal, it could only sit and wait for the rescue plane."

I said, "So how long did they wait?"

Gu Wenmin pursed her lips, and said in a heavy voice: "Six people, only two survived in the end, and they waited at sea for two months before meeting a ship." Her words made everyone's hearts tremble. They all sank to the bottom.At this time, which pot of tofu is not opened and which pot is lifted, he said: "This is not the longest one. The longest I know is Robinson Crusoe. He spent 28 years on an isolated island."

Everyone was depressed, and Wu Sidong almost fainted when he heard the words, his glasses were gone, and he squinted his eyes vaguely when he saw everything. Cursing tofu is a crow's mouth.He was not wrong about this.

I said: "If you really wait for 28 years, I'll just jump from here, and it's over. But don't be discouraged, our area should not be far away, and it doesn't go out of the East China Sea. The probability of encountering ships and patrol planes is very high." relatively high."

Professor Lin thought that Tofu’s method was good, and the first thing to do was to stabilize the boat, so several of us copied ropes, tied the bow and tail of the boat separately, and fixed them on the reef with two thick ropes.The only thing we can do next is to wait. Since we don't know how long the wait will be, we try our best to restore the facilities on board.The four carp and the robot are responsible for maintenance, because they will learn relevant knowledge in the army, and the rest of us sort out the things that can be used, wring out all the bedding and other things and hang them in the sun.

Tofu and Aying collected the clams and shellfish adsorbed under the reef for our dinner. After a lot of work, it was night in a blink of an eye.

Most of the water on the boat has evaporated, we were lying on the dry deck, only the sound of waves crashing on the reef, and some strange fish would jump out of the sea from time to time, the sky was full of stars, the scenery is naturally needless to say, it’s just a pity the timing No, otherwise it can be regarded as a vacation.Everyone worked hard all day during the day, but now it was night, and they didn't have the mind to talk anymore. After a while, I remembered the sound of snoring one after another. When I closed my eyes, I also fell into a deep sleep.

When I got up the next morning, the weather was fine and the sea breeze was warm. The carp and the robot started repairing the power equipment early in the morning. It was found that two-thirds of the fuel consumed by the ship had leaked. Even an idiot would know that in this case, maintenance would not be of much use. A few carps are probably just for peace of mind.

On the other side, Gu Wenmin and several women picked some clams, used clam meat as bait, and fished on the reef to prepare lunch.I stood on the bow of the boat and watched for a while, thinking about countermeasures.

How long are we stuck here?
How long can our fuel last?
How long can our fresh water last?
This place is not far away, and the time of being trapped should not exceed a month, but ten days and a half a month is very likely.Our fuel, according to the most economical state, should be able to support five days, and after five days we have to eat raw food.As for Danshui, there are more than ten people in this group, and they can last for at most two days. What should we do after two days?drink sea water?Nonsense, the more you drink, the faster you die.

Tofu also noticed it, and asked me if I did something to make her angry.As soon as I explained the reason, Tofu became very clear and said, "Old Chen, you don't understand women." He held back, touched his nose resentfully, and said, "I'm kind enough to help you, don't you keep pouring salt on my wound? According to my inference, this beautiful lady Gu is probably jealous. Who told Duan Fei that The little girl has no good intentions for you."

I said: "Even if she had bad intentions towards me, I didn't cooperate. Why should she be angry with me? Wen Min is not such an unreliable person."

Doufu said: "Trust me, you have to use this kind of hand when dealing with women, quietly walk behind her, pull and hug like this, and then like this..." Tofu made a hugging gesture, then pouted to signal her strength Kiss, and finally patted his chest and said: "I guarantee it, I will try it a hundred times." Of course I would not use such an unreliable method as tofu. At night, when everyone began to rest to save energy, I found Gu Wenmin, Ready to ask her what's going on.
