Chapter 177 How Long to Survive

When they arrived at the port, Liang Shaoyang walked out of his hiding place.

"Did you get the things?" he asked Ren Hongyi.

"Hmm. Got it. Ren Hongyi said ashore lying on the water with a large travel bag.

Then, he walked to Liang Shaoyang's side in a few steps and handed him the satellite phone.

Then he told Liang Shaoyang about the suspicious situation he encountered on the ship.

At this time, a group of people hurriedly walked over.

It turned out that Mo Bing heard the news from the crew and led a few people to look for it.

"This situation is important. Liang Shaoyang on the side said in a low voice.

As soon as Mo Bing and the others were out of danger and landed on the island, the crew disappeared, and Ren Hongyi found strange footprints on the cruise ship.

All this makes people who have just escaped feel that there is always a danger around them.

Mo Bing took the phone and glanced at it. After asking about the situation of this mobile phone, he immediately turned off his mobile phone.

"This phone is not ours. The only possibility is the communication tool that the second officer used to contact the pirates!" Mo Bing said solemnly.

"However, we can also use this mobile phone to contact the outside world!" Lu Ming's eyes lit up.

"No, if we call this phone, then the cell phone signal will be located. Mo Bing's expression was serious.

"If the second mate is going to contact the pirates. They must want to find this phone too. The footprints you find on the boat are likely to be that they also boarded the boat. It's just that they didn't know that you had already gotten the phone, so they didn't act rashly. Liang Shaoyang said with a relaxed expression.

"Huh. But how did they get on the boat?" Ren Hongyi thought of the conspiracy of the second mate's group just now. I can't help but be a little afraid.

"Second mate, there must be someone who is good at swimming. In calm conditions, it is possible for a master swimmer to swim several nautical miles with the help of life-saving equipment. ”

"If I had known this, I should have locked them all up in the first place. Lu Ming said with annoyance.

"It's okay to let them out. Only in this way can we know their true purpose. Mo Bing said.

"Hmm. This is called wanting to get away with it!" Liang Shaoyang said with a smile.

"Mo Bing, Shaoyang, what should we do now?" Lu Ming heard that the situation was so complicated, and couldn't help but look at these two partners with heavy eyes.

"Mike and Henry must know something. But they wouldn't say. This shows that they are still afraid of the second officer and his gang. Liang Shaoyang expressed his opinion.

"Hmm. I get it. Lu Ming agreed.

"Lu Ming, find the second lieutenant and leave it to me and Shaoyang. Mo Bing said empathetically.

The target of the second mate's group was Lu Ming. At this time, if he participated in the search operation, he would be easily attacked by the second mate and others.

Last night, after a night of violent storms, we were in danger of sinking again. So everyone didn't sleep. It's been another busy day, and even the strongest lads are now very struggling.

Therefore, Liang Shaoyang decided that everyone would tow the lifeboat to the shore first.

Ren Hongyi led George and the five crew members to guard it. The others went back to the camp to rest first. Wait until tomorrow after dawn to make plans.

Although Ren Hongyi was injured on his arm, he still faithfully carried out Liang Shaoyang and Mo Bing's orders.

Because there is so much more to be transported down from the boat, lifeboats are now the most important means of transport on the island. It must never be lost or damaged.

Ren Hongyi, together with George and the rest of the crew, towed the dinghy to the shore and buckled it up. Then set it up on a flat high spot above the harbour*. Several people built a bonfire in front of the camp and prepared to camp here.

George spent the day running back and forth at sea. I'm already sleepy.

Sleepy and tired, he was hungry, but he had no appetite. Mo Bing asked people to bring a few bottles of canned meat and boiled rice porridge and cakes from the camp for them to eat.

"After eating, you go to sleep first, and I'll be on the first shift first. Ren Hongyi said.

"Well, I'll wake up in time to replace you. George hastily ate a few bites, then lay down in the middle of the * and fell asleep.

Although Ren Hongyi is also too tired. But think of today on a cruise

on the bizarre things encountered. Don't dare to let your guard down.

After eating, he took his gun and binoculars to a clearing outside the camp, leaning against a large tree and observing the ship with his binoculars.

Although there is starlight in the night. But after all, the distance is too far. So he could only see the outline of the black ship, but he couldn't see the equipment on it.

But he persevered, hoping to make a discovery.

In the camp.

Lu Ming and Bai Xiaoyi were organizing some people to sort out the food and items that were urgently transported down from the ship.

Due to the semi-private nature of this yacht. Most of the passengers are from a few countries with a lot of status and economic power.

From the day's escape operations, he had already observed who were zealous and active in the service of setting up the refuge camp, and who were only sighing and complaining, and who only cared about themselves.

He selected a few people from among the tourists who were enthusiastic about service and seemed to have a fair and kind disposition to serve as the backbone of the team and his assistants.

Two of them are from City A, one from Southeast Asia, and two from Europe.

One of the Europeans was a young university student.

The others were grown men.

"Because we don't know how long we need to stay on the island. So we have to keep the food and distribute it uniformly. Lu Ming explained his thoughts to the assistants.

His experience of successfully surviving on a desert island convinced those people, and they all agreed with Lu Ming's idea.

There was some fresh water and canned food and compressed biscuits inside the lifeboat.

Some of these things have already been used. Two buckets of biscuits were taken away by the second mate.

These foods are all shelf-stable, so Lu Ming decided to collect them first. Use it again in an emergency.

Because the warehouse has not yet been built. So he used his * as a reserve warehouse for the time being.

As for the flour and rice that were rushed back from the ship. Because of the surface

The powder has been stained with seawater. Therefore, only the dried parts of the noodle bag can be collected together. The outer layer of dough is not wasted, but is mixed into a dough, and with food oil and some seasonings, it is baked into a sac-like dough.

At dinner, each of them ate such a bitter and salty naan with the sea.

As for rice, it can also be stored for a long time as long as it is washed with stream water and dried.

In addition to boiling porridge for everyone to drink with a few catties of rice, Lu Ming was not willing to use it.

Even so, the food they have collected so far is only enough for half a month. After all, these dozen bags of flour and rice are enough to feed more than 50 people.

As for fresh water, it is easy to solve.

The river next to the camp provides clean fresh water for a long time.

George and the others also brought back several boxes of wine and drinks from the ship. These things can be life-saving when it matters most. So Lu Ming didn't let everyone use it.

In order to stabilize everyone's mood, he took out two bottles of brandy and gave everyone a small glass. Let them drink and sleep more peacefully.

"Tomorrow during the day, we might be able to go to the boat and find some more food. Lu Ming comforted those people and said.

It was late at night.

But Lu Ming and Bai Xiaoyi were still counting the amount of materials and calculating the supplies needed. The foreign girl named Eliza and an entrepreneur named Chen Qingyuan in City A are helping them.

Eliza, a 24-year-old born into a wealthy family and a master's degree in biology, was going to Hawaii to study tropical plants there, and she was a loyal viewer of the "Survival on a Desert Island" show.

As for Chen Qingyuan, he went to Hawaii to meet a business partner. Because of his affluent life and his usual attention to exercise, although he is thirty-six years old, he has a strong body and extraordinary energy.

Although he didn't chase the show "Desert Island Survival" like young people, he paid attention to understanding business information. This time on the cruise, he was very interested in the show with Mo Bing. Therefore, he is also very familiar with Lu Ming and Bai Xiaoyi.

Due to the haste of the evacuation, the tourists brought only their personal clothes. Some people didn't even take out their handbags.

Therefore, the base is very scarce in terms of living materials.

There are almost no toilet paper and sanitary hydrants for women.

If it weren't for George, they had brought a few pots and some cutlery out of the back kitchen of the restaurant. I am afraid that they will be knocked out of the highly developed civilized world and suddenly fall into a primitive life of hairy and blood-drinking.

"Mr. Lu, according to your experience, how long will it take for these materials to last us?" Chen Qingyuan asked worriedly as he counted the stored materials.

"If the rationing system is strictly enforced, we can eat this food for about half a month. Lu Ming made a preliminary estimate and said.

"Then how long are we going to survive here?" asked Chen Qingyuan with a frown.

"I can't tell. Maybe in a few days we'll have a rescue team. Maybe no one has found us for a long time. Because from the preliminary situation, we are in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. Unless a ship or plane finds us, it is very difficult for anyone to come to this island.

Lu Ming slightly revealed a hint of worry.

"That means we're likely to spend more time here?" said Chen Qingyuan, taking a breath of cold air.

"What are you afraid of, I have found several edible plants with rhizomes or leaves on the island today. Moreover, we can also collect coconuts, breadfruits, etc. to replace the foods we are used to eating. Moreover, we can also catch fish and shrimp. So, I'm not worried about the future, this small island is rich in resources, at least we don't have to worry about hunger. Eliza said confidently.

"I hope so. Chen Qingyuan glanced at the Caucasian girl and did not clearly state his attitude.

But next. They quickly ran into trouble.

A Southeast Asian man in his forties found Lu Ming.

He gestured and spoke in English and Thai for a long time before Lu Ming figured it out. He said he had diabetes. I can't be hungry, and I want to ask Lu Ming for some compressed biscuits to eat.
