Chapter 30: The Island


The heavy rain stopped around the wee hours of the morning, which made everyone in the dinghy scoop up the water for nearly half the night, as if things in the world were always so contradictory, and when they first appeared, people were ecstatic and regarded it as a lifesaver, but they were too late, and soon they were tired of cursing for their lives, after all, no one dared to let the ship sink, and those terrible sea monsters were like nightmares.It was about to dawn, and a faint black shadow appeared on the sea.At first, everyone was excited, thinking that it was land, and they all struggled to pick up the oars and row, but when they looked closer, a chill arose.It was a freighter, floating silently on the sea.This is the first time a ship has been encountered since escaping from the Goddess Thalassa.An Li hesitated for a long time, but still did not stop everyone from getting on the boat to look for food, of course, the result was also disappointed, the food and water that were easy to carry were gone, and the lifeboats and life jackets on the freighter were not there, it was obvious that these crew members had made the same choice as them.The captain lay on the deck, wiping the mottled rust on the iron plate with his hands, and after the ship's power facilities were in trouble, the lifeboat must have been dragged aside and thrown into the sea, and then he stumbled around the railing to study, and finally concluded that the people on this boat fled for their lives about southwest."

If we go over there, there will be islands or land."

The captain was full of confidence, and although the others did not find food, they added some other things, such as teapots and jars for rainwater or scooping water, some sharp fruit knives, and Li Shao also took a lighter, and some very bits and pieces that he didn't remember to bring with him when he first ran for his life.Ann Li rummaged on the ship for a long time, and finally gave up, the crew of the freighter are all men, and it is possible to find expired Playboy magazines or even A-movies, but it is too difficult to find some kind of feminine products.Ann Li was very concerned about this, knowing that she didn't even have a rag on hand, and she knew that it would be better to drag a few more clothes on the Goddess Thalassa, because the stinky and baked crew clothes abandoned on this ship really made her uncomfortable.An Li raised her forehead with a headache, does she have to hope that she has been tired and overnourished recently, so she didn't wait this month, it seems that there is also a saying that if you soak in too much water, it will not be normal to be cold.Ann Li staggered back into the dinghy, she looked at Narin and the unconscious Amin, and then distressed.For so many days, I don't know if it's because of the sea monster, I haven't encountered a shark, otherwise as long as that bad situation happens, and then falls into the water again, it's hard to say what will happen next.In the face of the ocean, abilities are really nothing.Na Lin took a wooden stick, on which was hung a sheet in the shape of a sail, and then urged the man with the wind ability to quickly let the rubber boat drift to the southwest, of course, the arduous task of carrying this simple sail must belong to Li Shao.I don't know because they are extremely unlucky, so the goddess of fate finally began to favor them, first a rain saved their lives, climbed a boat and took a lot of useful little things, and then drifted to the southwest for a short time, before noon, I saw the shadow of the island, this is really the undulating island is green "saved, we are saved" "If this is close to the Mariana Islands, even if there is no fresh water on this island, we can quickly go to the next island" The captain was even more excited, Half of the Mariana Islands are untouched, with many seabirds, animals, and tropical plants.The light of hope once again cheered up this group of displaced people.But if Xia Yi is here, it will definitely prevent everyone from approaching the island After radiation, the plants on the island are almost dead, where can the people who are already desperate for such a lush and beautiful island can't think of this at all, they all excitedly pick up their oars and start to approach the island.I don't know if everyone is overly excited and working hard, or if they hope that the sudden arrival will make people excited, but the captain estimated that it would take at least more than an hour to travel, and there was no feeling to arrive.As far as the eye can see, this is really a very small island.It is only the size of a basketball court, but the plants grow very luxuriantly, and some of the branches and leaves have been hanging in the seawater, that is, they are a little unrefreshed by the sun, and the leaves are not half rolled."

Tropical plants are so interesting."

Li Shao was curious.After all, the captain is not young, and he is not a stranger, after so many days of tossing, he was too happy just now, and fainted halfway through the row, otherwise he could still let him talk about these wonderful plants.The broad leaves, dragged along with the rhizomes, seemed to be unsupportable, and fell one by one, and in the depths of the island there were plants of other colors, even crimson.It's not too tall, but the appearance is very strange, whether it is an illustrated book or a scientific magazine, I have never seen such a tropical plant, unlike trees and shrubs, and the leaves are not oval, they are actually one by one, like the flowers on the paulownia tree, round and squeezed into a pile, and very much like hydrangeas, and purple-red fan-like plants, from the root to the slight like a large leaf, they grow densely, not even a little gap.An Li felt that this island looked strange, as if something was missing, but she couldn't say it."

Sister An, don't worry, you see, it's such a big island, and the trees are not very tall, so there won't be any fierce beasts" Li Shao scratched his head, and then said, "It's impossible to have a prehistoric island like that, which is full of dinosaurs" "However, this really looks like prehistoric plants" Na Lin stared at those plants."

No, the prehistoric creatures are all very big, the mosquitoes are several meters long, and the plants are all up to the sky, how can they be like this" "That's an alien plant" Not to mention Nalin, even Anli muttered, this plant is too good.But they hesitated, but they were bold, after all, they had been hungry for so many days, and finally came across an island, although there may be no fresh water, but it is good to find something to eat, not picky, what fruit and no poisonous mushroom is good.So Li Shao couldn't help but jump up.He landed on the ground not so steady, fell on his back, An Li hurriedly went to get off the boat to pull him, Li Shao smiled dryly and touched his head and got up: "It hurts to death ouch, and it's very diaphragmatic" Li Shao stretched out his hand to pull away the leaves, not mud or stones, but patches of lumpy gray-brown objects, Li Shao grabbed a handful with his hand, came to his eyes, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "It's shells and conchs" He has a lot of strength, most of the ones he caught are oysters, and there are also white cone-shaped conchs, the soft feet of the shell mouth are still wriggling, and they quickly retract, After all, they are attached to what appears to be a hard stone."

Don't look for it, there is food, there are snakes in the depths of the jungle" Li Shao triumphantly grabbed it with both hands, fished a handful of oysters and conches and threw them into the rubber boat.As for the plants, they are too strange to eat."

Li Shao, come back" An Li felt that the rubber boat near the island was shaking a little hard."

Sister An, wait, there are a lot of shells here, as long as you bring enough for us to eat for three days, it will be easy to find other islands" With Li Shao as an example, other people also pulled conches on the ground.The captain was woken up by an oyster thrown into the boat, and sat up in a daze: "Where did you get the food?"

The captain of the "island" looked up at the island in amazement, those bizarre plants, and the people who were pulling conch at the edge of the island, his expression was very dazed."

What kind of island is this?"

shells are usually attached to shipwrecks and reefs, and washed up on the beach by the waves, but the islands are all over the place, and they are stacked on top of each other, which is outrageous.Ann Li finally remembered that there was something wrong with this island, there was no beach, if it was all made of stones, how did those plants grow, and could shells and conch shells survive without water for a long time, and there was not a single seabird or animal on such a lush island full of plants, and even insects were not seen, if radiation killed them, then why did the plants be good, "Come back, come back quickly, this is not an island" Ann Li and the captain woke up and exclaimed almost at the same time.Li Shao grabbed a handful of oysters in his hand, turned his head a little depressed and asked: "Hey, this is not an island, what is it" You are the island" "The voice was deep, as if stuffed in a crockpot, Li Shao looked around in horror, and then saw the clue on Nalin's white face, screamed, and rushed to the rubber boat with a rolling belt, and the others saw Li Shao's abnormality, and they also ran back, and the oysters were gone, just like that, I felt a shake under my feet, and as a result, several people smashed on the conch and almost knocked out their teeth, and they didn't have time to get up, And he saw the waters of the sea coming up."

Hurry up, if this big guy sinks, there will be a huge whirlpool, and the rubber boat will all be swept in" The captain was stunned and shouted, "Even if you are a master swimmer by then, you will die" "But" Li Shao and others have not yet boarded the boat."

Hurry up," Narin hurriedly urged, took out the oars and rowed hard."

No, it's too late, it's almost the same with the engine, just rely on our hands" In a panic, Li Shao had already climbed into the rubber boat with swimming."

Sea monster, it's a sea monster I heard that strange sound again, it seemed to appear directly in my head" Li Shao was at a loss.The captain choked upside down and almost fainted, but the middle-aged man with the wind attribute ability said very inappropriately: "Yes, it said that you are the island" Hey, the water on the island is waist-deep, and everyone else has climbed into the rubber boat, but after rowing a distance, they don't feel the whirlpool, looking back, "that island" seems to have suddenly shrunk in half, and the plants are only left with their roots and tips still exposed on the sea, quite like the high tide has been flooded, and it seems that the dog's tail grass under the dam has been swaying during the summer wet season.Now even the most stupid people have realized, which is a tropical plant, it is simply a thriving seaweed ah Speaking of sea monsters, most people suddenly remembered, once I don't know where to hear such a bizarre story, the sailors found an island, so happily ran ashore to find food, and then made a fire to grill fish, the result was terrible, the whole island sank, it turned out that it was not the island is a monster's back and myths and legends, there is a monster in the ice sea of Western Europe, often disguised itself as an island, tempting the crew to approach, Then suddenly reach out and grab the prey, or suddenly sink down and eat the person who is unfortunate enough to fall into the sea.God, are there still fewer sea monsters seen along the way, why do the sea monsters keep following them, everyone is so shocked that their faces are pale.The captain was stunned with straight eyes, the sea monster is indeed in addition to the giant octopus and the sea snake terror, there is also this suspected island, waiting for the rabbit to catch the prey, etc., how sad it is, what is the difference between catching humans at sea and looking for water in the desert, the people who wait for the rabbit are all starving to death in the end The feeding whirlpool was not formed, because the "island" maintained this action and did not sink.Human, you can hear my voice An Li, Li Shao, Na Lin, and the wind attribute ability all looked at each other.Several nautical miles away from here, he thought that Xia Yi couldn't understand the explanation of the deep sea, so in order to bring Xia Yi back smoothly, the siren had to make a detour to find a certain sea monster: Taumas lived too long, it could understand a lot of words Xia Yi didn't want to ask, but he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of sea monster it was.Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard an excited intermittent infrasound wave in the distance: Great, you guys hurry over and I'll float up immediately, do you lack food, take all these damn oysters and conches away, kill me, what do you swim around every day, you don't eat seaweed, why gd1806102:
