Chapter Twenty-Three: The End of the World

After the storm, the sea calms down, and the gloom and fear dissipate, and the next thing is still unknown.

It was a good day, but I couldn't be happy, my stomach was tumbling in the storm, and now the lifeboat was a mess, so I simply took off my clothes and went naked, and no one would see me anyway.

I cleaned up my belongings and rinsed the dirt with seawater, I was still very clean, I couldn't see the vomit from me, it was disgusting, the smell was very bad, I rinsed the life raft with seawater, and then jumped into the water and took a shower.

Of course, I first connected me to the life raft with a rope, so that the last time I fell into the water would not happen, but as soon as I entered the water, I suddenly had an inexplicable fear in my heart, and as soon as I entered the sailor, the sailor grabbed the lifeboat and ran uncontrollably into the lifeboat.

I was shivering half-lying in the lifeboat, shivering not cold but frightened, and it was now clear in my heart that people often talk about acrophobia, hemophobia, claustrophobia, and I am a typical hydrophobia.

It took me a long time to calm my nervous heart, the rapid heartbeat eased a little bit, the fear slowly disappeared, and now the only thing that can give me peace of mind is this little life raft.

I first used the absorbent sponge of the life raft to dry the life raft, and then treated the wound, although the wound did not heal, but fortunately there was no infection.

The next two days did not find a boat, and the sea looks very dark, people often say that the sea is blue, so it is called the blue sea, but from a scientific point of view, the sea water of the ocean is very clear, the light transmittance is very good, the reflective surface is very small, but as the depth of the water increases, the light will be completely absorbed, the reflected light is very, very little, the deeper the sea, the darker, the real color of the ocean is black, and the vast sea in front of me is black, which proves that I am likely to drift to the ocean and get farther and farther away from the landใ€‚

Facing the black sea, I felt an ominous approach, and my uneasy heartbeat became more intense, if my guess was correct, I had drifted to the open sea farther and farther away from land, so that the chances of my rescue would be lower, could I just die slowly and helplessly.

I immediately began to count my food and water, the consumption of food is not the same as planned, but the water is consumed too fast, the amount planned for 40 days is just six days I consume one-third, although there are still two-thirds, but at this rate after eleven or twelve days there will be no water to drink, if it is really by that day I will be finished, I must control the amount of water I drink, because there is still hope for a longer time to be rescued.

I know that the shipping routes of various countries are close to the land, and even if the ships are relatively close to the ocean, they will not sail into the ocean, because once the ship breaks down and the accident is difficult to rescue in the depths of the ocean.

This is enough to prove that my judgment is really drifting into the deep sea and completely lost, lost in the vast ocean.

The only consolation for me was that I caught a few fish, which were fresh and served with those hard-to-swallow emergency dry food, but the situation was still not optimistic.

This situation made me very frightened and uneasy, but after a short time I was unusually calm, and I secretly asked myself what was the use of being honestly afraid, it was nothing more than to make myself more uneasy, and it was better to face it bravely.

I was resigned to my fate on the life raft, and for a moment I remembered the woman on the pirate ship, and although I was in a terrible situation now, I was very grateful to that woman, her name was Zou Xinyue, and that if I was rescued, there was a letter that must be given to her family.

I found Zou Xinyue's letter, I thought about it and thought about it, I still opened it, in this case, Zou Xinyue shouldn't blame me for peeking at her letter, if I die, no one will know what is written in her letter, I laugh at myself, I really have no shame to peek at other people's letters and find reasons for myself, you are going to die, is it still meaningful to know what is written in the letter, peeking is peeking, don't make excuses.

In fact, it was curiosity that made me peek at Zou Xinyue's letter, and there is also the fact that I am now uncertain about life and death, and I still care about what kind of gentleman and villain are moral, and who will know what happens after reading it.

I opened Zou Xinyue's letter without any scruples, the letter was just a few pieces of paper, in fact, the letter was written very shortly, only a few sentences.

"Mom and mother are doing well, please don't worry, I work in a company in Australia, and when everything is stable, I will bring you two to enjoy the blessings. Daughter Moon Moon"

I was a little moved in my heart, Zou Xinyue had been exiled as a slave of pirates, I thought she would ask for help from her family, but I didn't expect it to be like this is still a letter to report safety, she also knows her situation, so she wrote very briefly, although the content seems to be self-deception, but you can see the helplessness and hope in her heart.

I looked at the second one and found that it was written for me.

"No matter who you are, I have only one request, that is, don't tell my family the true situation, and if you have the ability, I hope you can give my parents a little help, even if you repay me for saving your life, because I can never go back to the past, I hope you helped me with my wish, thank you,,,"

I saw this and felt very emotional, people say that they pity the hearts of parents all over the world, but who can understand Zou Xinyue's heart of grass first.

I silently vowed that if I could be rescued, I would do my best to help Zou Xinyue's parents and family, and help Zou Xinyue fulfill her filial piety.

I don't know why I read Zou Xinyue's letter, I cried, I cried, I thought of my parents and family, as well as my beloved wife and daughter, I looked up at the sky, a sadness was born from my heart, and I couldn't help but cry myself.
