Awakening

Chapter 179 Drift Part 3

 

At noon on the third day, looking at the endless sea, the look of despair appeared in many people’s eyes.

At this time, most people have been so hungry that they could barely stand up, much less rowing the boat.

In any case, their boat was now driven by the sail, and rowing or not would make no different. So Lei Yin did not bother them. Since yesterday afternoon, he has been observing the debris floating on the sea.

His guess was correct, they were now sailing toward a certain island. Because the floating debris was increasing in number, the boat must not be too far off from the island.

Around ten o’clock at night, the sleeping people were awakened by a strong impact, some even fell down from the benches.

The students who slept on the deck then heard the constant scream from inside the cabin, and then they saw many students ran up from the bottom.

“Wake up, the cabin is flooded.”

“What, the cabin is flooded? How could this happen?”

“Yeah, it is flooded, now what should we do?”

“We need to quickly plug the hole.”

“The hole is too big, it can’t be plugged.”

Lei Yin ran from the top of the cabin down to the deck and said in a loud voice: “The ship may have hit a reef. Everyone need to immediately put on the life jackets, we have to abandon the ship. There is an island in front of us, we can land there.”

“What, there is an island in front of us? Are you serious?” One of the students excitedly called out.

“Less wordy and quickly put on the life jackets.” With that, he picked up a life jacket and put it on Amy, then he put one for himself.

Because there were only two lifeboats, Lei Yin just let the unconscious Captain, the foreign old couple, and the female students to board. Some of the boys wanted to squeeze themselves to the boat but were fought back by Lei Yin.

Due to the size of the lifeboat that was too small, in the end, there were three female students who could not board the lifeboat and had to wear the life jacket and grabbed the edge of the lifeboat to float on the sea like the other male students.

Lei Yin was the last one to enter the seawater, but after swimming for two or three meters, he suddenly swam back to the submerged ferry.

After a while, he took a round thing from the ship and swam back.

When he swam next to the two lifeboats, he shouted, “Kid, where are you?”

Soon, he heard Amy’s delicate voice and he immediately swam to her lifeboat.

Seeing Amy was sitting on the lifeboat, he was secretly relieved.

Whether the people on the lifeboat or the people floating on the surface, all of them can faintly see the huge shadow under the starlight in front of them.

“Hey, it’s really an island, we are saved.” Many people could not help but cheer.

Relative to these students’ jubilant mood, Lei Yin did not feel particularly happy. Because he saw the island was dark, without any light at all. In other words, this island was likely to be an uninhabited island.

In any case, this is still much better than drifting around aimlessly at the sea. Lei Yin thought in his heart.
