Chapter 25: Ghost Ship?
This happened by the sea.
We now go to the beach almost every three days or so, both to find some turtle eggs and to see if there are any rescue teams.
Most of this outings were done by me, Zhou Qiqi and the new Amy, while Chen Mengyu and Xia Ran were mainly responsible for staying in the camp to do "housekeeping". We built a "big stove" with stones in the center of the camp, and placed some grass in it that we can't name, but this grass has a very useful place, that is, after being lit with fire, billowing smoke can come out, and we use this as a signal that if something happens to the camp, Chen Mengyu and Xia Ran will light cigarettes, so that as long as we are not too far away, we can find the danger, so that we can rush back in time to help.
On this day, Zhou Qiqi and Amy and I went to the beach as usual, we went to the SOS mark first, the seaweed I laid on the top was completely dried up, and I would add some new seaweed to put it on at first, but I didn't bother to get it later.
We were all a little disappointed to see that there was still no sign of anyone coming, and looking at the words that Lin Hai had carved on the rocks before, I couldn't help but think of the last five of them, and I didn't know where they were now, and I wasn't even sure if they were still alive.
The three of us sat down on the SOS marker.
The sun is shining today, and we're going to rest here for a while.
During the break, I asked Amy for the first time why the rescue team had not appeared, and Amy's answer was unexpected, and she gave a very mysterious guess, thinking that the coordinates of our island must have changed invisibly, causing the rescue team to search and rescue according to the original wrecked coordinates in vain.
"How did it change?" I asked, surprised.
"It's simple. Amy blinked, "It's possible that our island will move." ”
......
I looked at Amy for a while, and saw that she didn't seem to be joking.
"How can there be an island that moves? Are you kidding me?"
"Of course it didn't tease you. Amy said solemnly: "I have heard of this thing when I was in Canada, and there is an island in the southeastern part of Canada, called Sebul Island, which is formed by the sandy sediments of the continuous alluvial currents and waves, and its position is constantly changing all year round, and it moves very fast. ”
"So you mean, our island is the same as that of Sebul Island?"
"That's right. Amy nodded.
I wanted to say "", but I put up with it and quipped, "Then maybe our island has drifted all the way from Canada." ”
"It's not impossible. Amy actually said so.
At this moment, Zhou Qiqi suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted: "Boat!"
I was lying on my back on the rocks basking in the sun, and I jumped up when I heard that.
Looking at the sea that Zhou Qiqi pointed to, I found that the shadow of a ship faintly appeared over there, and to my surprise, this ship seemed to be getting closer and closer to us!
"Quick! undress!" I yelled at Zhou Qiqi.
"Get out!" Zhou Qiqi shouted at me, "Hooligans!"
But Amy quickly took off her own blouse, and the foreigners really let go, she didn't care about my gaze, and threw her red blouse desperately into the air.
I ran to the beach in one go, took off all my canvas clothes and trousers, and waved them up and down, while Zhou Qiqi shouted behind me, trying to get the attention of the boat.
As I got closer, I soon noticed that it seemed to be a small fishing boat, as there were a lot of nets in the foredeck of the hull.
Soon the ship was approaching the shallow waters, but it was at this point that several of us realized that something was wrong.
The ship didn't seem to be piloted at all, and the reason why it came close to us was only because the wind was a little stronger now, and it was blowing the boat along the current, and we didn't see anyone on board after looking at it for a long time.
It stands to reason that if they came to save us on purpose, they would definitely shout through the loudspeaker or show up directly.
But the hull still looks intact, and it doesn't look like a wrecked ship.
I immediately turned to Zhou Qiqi and Amy and said, "You two are waiting here!
"I'll go with you!" Amy said immediately.
"How's your water?"
"No problem. Amy took off her pants and threw them on the beach, and before I could take a closer look at her bumpy figure, I saw her plunge into the sea.
"Zhou Qiqi, don't go! You pick us up on the shore!" I said to Zhou Qiqi.
"Be careful!" she nodded.
I took off all I had left, and I jumped into the sea after Amy.
This is the second time I've been swimming in the sea since the crash, but I'm a pretty good swimmer.
There were only a few waves in the sea, which did not hinder us too much, and Amy and I soon approached the small fishing boat.
The boat continued to drift towards the beach, and Amy's water was so good that she had climbed up first, and then pulled me up.
"Anyone?" shouted as soon as we came up.
......
No one answered.
Depend on!
Could it be the legendary ghost ship?
I've heard rumors before that some long-lost ships have suddenly appeared at sea, and the structures on board are all the same as new, but there is no one, and now all the features of this ship seem to match those of ghost ships.
I couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this.
But Amy obviously didn't think much of it, and she shouted at me, "If this boat rushes to shore again, it will be troublesome! There are a lot of reefs here!
It seems that Amy and I are going to go with me now, and that is......
We can leave with this ship!
Taking a step back, even if this ship can't leave, the materials on the ship will be of great use to us!
Amy continued to shout, "You go to the ship and check it! I'll drop anchor first!"
Then I saw Amy running to the aft deck, and I saw something like a little operator's station there, and she was tinkering on it for a while, and then I heard a rattling of chains, and the hull shook violently, and then I was pleasantly surprised to see that the speed of the ship slowed down significantly.
"Quick! go to the lower cabin and see if there's anyone!" Amy urged me again, "I'll take care of the boat!"
I nodded, and said that it was Amy who had come up too, or I wouldn't have known how to stop the ship at all, and I would have just watched the ship hit the rocks and sink.
I pushed the door of the cabin and found that it was locked, but it didn't stop me at all, so I kicked hard at the door, and the door fell with a "boom".
"Anyone's no!" I shouted again.
Sure enough, no one answered.
I first looked around, and found that there were many basins of various sizes stacked on top of each other on the upper deck, as well as ropes, fishing nets with long clubs, clumps of wire, a dozen large locked iron chests, and other small tools scattered on the ground, including knives, wrenches, hammers, and so on.
I grass!
Get rich!
Then I saw that there was a staircase leading down to the cabin, and I looked down, and it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, and it smelled terrible, a bit like something was rotting.
I shouted again, but no one answered.
Depend on.
It can't be a corpse down there, right?
But I still went down, and when I got down, I fumbled around the bulkheads on both sides for a while, found a switch, pressed it, and the light didn't come on.
I had to retreat again, and then Amy came in, and she was so happy to see that the room was full of "treasures", and I told her what was going on, and then Amy began to rummage through the tools scattered on the ground, and soon she found a few high-powered flashlights.
I was about to say that this must be out of power, when I saw her turn on a flashlight with a "click......
