Chapter 118 Tropical Storm

Bai Xiaoyi was not a trained contestant in the first place, but was forced to participate in this show. Because of Lu Ming's care, she was able to survive. thought that after going back, she could start a new life with Lu Ming. Now Bai Xiaoyi can't wait to put on her wings and leave here immediately.

"Sleep. Tomorrow we will go together to test the raft. Lu Ming said, kissing Bai Xiaoyi's lips gently.

"Hmm. You sleep too. Bai Xiaoyi obediently twisted her body to lie down more comfortably, and then closed her eyes.

In the middle of the night, a damp cool breeze woke Lu Ming up.

"Is it going to rain?" he sat up slightly, leaning his hand out to feel the humidity outside.

By the light of the bonfire that was about to be extinguished, he saw that Liang Shaoyang also sat up from his sleeping place, staring at the sky.

The rain came very hard.

Although the wind brought moist air and rain, it was not as big as they thought.

Lu Ming waited for a while, and finally made sure that the rain was passing by near the island again, so he fell asleep again in disappointment.

At dawn, seven people in the harbor, including Mo Bing, gathered around the raft.

"I'll shout one or two, and everyone will push hard together!" Cheng Feng served as the commander-in-chief of the raft launching.

He knocked off the bracket of the dock that had been padded to the raft underneath, and the heavy raft tilted into the sea at once.

"Push hard, push!" Cheng Feng shouted as he pushed the raft hard.

The raft was finally loosened by the crowd. Slowly glide into the sea.

When the raft slid into the sea with a clatter. Everyone was a little disappointed. Because the raft did not float in the water as expected, but ran aground on the sand.

"It doesn't matter, the water here is too shallow. It's good to get to the deep water. Lu Ming hurriedly cheered everyone up.

"Lao Zheng, don't waste your efforts, try again when the tide rises in the evening. Cheng Feng circled around the raft, saw the head of the raft inserted into the sea sand, and said with a frown.

When everyone saw Cheng Feng say this, they had no choice but to give up.

After all, the strength of a few of them alone could not push the raft into deep water. At the moment, they can only use the power of the tides.

Due to the lack of a good design of the angle of the dock, the raft was planted top-heavy and ran aground on the shallow sand.

The sea trials were unsuccessful.

But everyone was still happy. After all, the raft was launched. And it still looks sturdy.

Only when the tide rises in the evening, they can make the raft float with more force.

Cheng Feng bolted the prepared cable, and everyone returned to the port unsatisfied.

Since the timber had run out, the harbor was empty, except for a campfire and a few burned, blackened cooking utensils, which showed the atmosphere of life here.

The rest is to prepare supplies for the voyage.

With the sailing oars and rudders, Cheng Feng was full of confidence to drive the most primitive ship he had ever driven to transport the people on the island to the mainland.

Everyone also believed that he could do it.

But the preparation must be done.

Inside several rainproof backpacks, food and utensils were loaded. In order to be able to repair the raft at any time. Bai Xiaoyi began to pull out the fibers in the vines and bark again, and wanted to rub out a few more coils of strong rope.

Lu Ming, Liang Shaoyang, and Xu Dong climbed to the side of the cliff.

Flocks of gannets and frigate birds fly back and forth between the cliffs and the sea.

They had to catch more birds, salt them, roast them, and take them to eat on the road.

And, since it is breeding season, many seabirds start laying eggs.

If they're lucky, they can even dig out some eggs.

While Lin Wan, Bai Xiaoyi, Mo Bing and others were searching for edible wild vegetable leaves on the island.

Of course, the most important thing is freshwater!

If you can't collect enough fresh water. They can't sail.

But except for a few rays of rain in the middle of the night last night, it still didn't rain. The only thing that gave them comfort was that the cumulonimbus clouds in the distance were getting behind and getting darker.

And the wind is blowing towards the island.

It is conceivable that in the near future, they are likely to usher in a timely rain.

When Liang Shaoyang and Xu Dong were cleaning up the few warship birds they had shot, Lu Ming called up the drone again.

Lu Ming didn't plan to throw away this drone, which glowed with metallic light all over its body.

Because the drone still has a lot of power, and after his control, this drone can be used as a reconnaissance aircraft, flying into the sky to help them reconnoiter the situation in the far sea.

In order to confuse Qi Wu, Lu Ming also deliberately let the drone film the three of them hitting birds and touching bird eggs on the cliff.

It's time to leave the island.

Lu Ming suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart.

It's not just Lu Ming.

Xu Dong has also changed a lot.

The most obvious thing is that there is less darkness and despair in his eyes, and more confidence and sunshine.

Although he is still as timid and cowardly as before, in the past few days of contact with Cheng Feng and Lu Ming, his psychology has changed significantly. It became a lot of sunshine.

Compared to before, this kind of grinding has helped him a lot in his growth. He has gone from being thick and unconscious to being more calm and profound.

This change has made him more proactive, more cherished what he has now, and more yearning for the future life.

Several people were busy on the island, each with their own responsibilities, while silently waiting for the rain and tides to come.

When the rumbling thunder sounded from far and near on the horizon, everyone looked expectantly at the fierce clouds.

Although the wind was blowing harder, the air was becoming more and more muffled.

"Brother Cheng, this cloud is so scary!" Ju Yi can stand in the wind,

Ren Feng blew his long hair back to his head.

"Looks like it's a tropical storm!" Cheng Feng gloomily looked at the lightning flashing in the distance.

"Tropical Storm!!"

When everyone else heard this word, their hearts tightened.

Although they do not yet have a practical concept of the tropical storm in Chengfeng's mouth.

However, they still have a general understanding of the enormous power of typhoons.

"Come with me, get the raft in place!" After Cheng Feng finished speaking, he ran towards the raft without looking back.

"Quick, don't let the storm blow our raft away!" Lu Ming was the first to reflect.

Several people ran to the raft against the increasingly strong wind. Under Cheng Feng's command, he tried his best to drive the remaining few pieces of wood as thick as the mouth of a bowl into the sea sand, hoping to block the huge waves brought by the typhoon and take the raft away.

Just as they were salvaging their future, the rain fell with the wind.

The first few bean-sized raindrops hit the head and face, smashing people painfully. It fell on the cracked wood, snorted into it and disappeared, but then, the raindrops fell like fried beans on the sea, on the beach, and smashed the beach into dust, and smashed the sea waves.

The calm sea began to arch its waist like a giant beast awakened, and the blackened waves rushed higher and higher over the reef and onto the beach.

The raft that was stuck in the water was loosened and swayed by the impact of the waves.

Then, as if alive, he was lifted up from the bottom of the water.

The rope that held the raft to the stakes around it tightened suddenly.

A wooden stake was pulled straight from the bottom of the sea and floated in the sea.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng jumped into the raft and threw down the spare cable inside. "Tie the rope to the tree on the shore!" he cried out as he wiped the rain from his face.

Needless to say, Lu Ming and the others also saw that the situation was urgent.

They grabbed the cable the thickness of the wine glass, and hurried to a large tree on the shore, and tied the rope tightly around the tree.

At this time, with the arrival of the tide, the sea level is getting higher and higher.

The raft was already lifted in the water and was drifting with the waves.

The heavy rain that the islanders have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived.

However, this time it was not ordinary tropical rain, but a tropical storm. The wind and rain soon covered the entire island.

The rain made people unable to open their eyes, and even if they were facing each other, they could not see each other clearly from a distance of two meters. The people who were busy by the raft were like they had entered a waterfall.

"Quickly retreat, go to the shore!" Cheng Feng saw that the water level was rising higher and higher, and the water that had just reached his knees in a short period of time was halfway up, and he couldn't care about the raft anymore.

He jumped into the water with a pop, grabbed Mo Bing and Xu Dong who were nearby, and ran to the shore.

After he sent Mo Bing and Xu Dong to a safe position on the shore, he turned around to pick up Lu Ming and Li Chengwu.

The two of them were supporting each other, and they were walking hard against the waves behind them to the shore.

It wasn't until Lu Ming and Li Chengwu were dragged to shallow water that Cheng Feng was a little relieved.

"Quick, let's go to the woods!" Mo Bing still remembered the destruction of Cheng Feng's shack during the last high tide.

The edge of the woods on the island should be the highest tide in the past year, and they can only be considered safe if they retreat there.

Several people looked back at the raft.

Now the raft is completely floating in the waves, bouncing up and down with the waves.

Perhaps God was destined to test the raft's ability to withstand wind and waves.

"Let's go, let's hide on the cruise ship first!" Lu Ming shouted and took the lead in running towards the wreckage of the cruise ship.

On the cruise ship's side, Mo Bing and Bai Xiaoyi, who were in charge of receiving the rain, were already dumbfounded by the heavy rain.

It wasn't until Lu Ming and the others came back that the two women came to their senses.

"Water, the bucket is almost full!" Bai Xiaoyi said with a shrunken shoulder, glancing at the buckets lined up to catch water.

"Don't worry about the buckets, let's transport all the equipment to the cruise ship first!" Lu Ming said, taking two large backpacks and running towards the wreckage of the cruise ship.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyi also picked up two backpacks and followed closely.

"My monitor—" Mo Bing shouted anxiously as he protected the monitor with his body.

Next to him, Liang Shaoyang picked up the bag containing the monitor, held Mo Bing in one hand, and walked towards the cruise ship against the wind and rain.

Although the wreckage of the cruise ship was burned, the hull was not damaged. Due to the timely rescue, the innermost seat was also intact.

A few dripping wet people helped each other climb onto the cruise ship.

Outside, there is already a world of water.
