Chapter 175 Logistics Base
"Let's take advantage of this time to go on another cruise and look for something to use and eat. George said to his six sailors.
They were a little reluctant. After all, since the morning, they have been tossing back and forth between the cruise ship and the island three times. The skeleton of my whole body was shaken and sore.
"Captain George, the sun is hot now, let's take a rest, and we should go at night. The mechanic said.
"I'm afraid there will be storms at night. The yacht is now dangling on the tip of the reef, and a big wave can knock the ship over and sink. When the time comes, I won't have a chance to look for something again. George raised his hand to block out the sunlight and looked at the cruise ship, saying worriedly.
"However, I am already very tired and must rest. If you really want to go yourself. I'm looking at another boat here. "The mechanic named Mike was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and he didn't really care much about George, a young man.
"Well, yes, Mr. Mack. I can go by boat alone. But what if the second mate comes over and grabs the second boat in a moment? Are you confident that you can beat them?" said George teasingly.
"You kid, if the second mate comes to ask for a boat, Lao Tzu will naturally not give it to him. If I really want him to snatch the boat, I won't be shy enough to ask you for food, I'll go with them!" Mike scolded angrily when he saw George scare him with his second mate.
"Mr. Mike, I'm not arguing with you. I'm going to do it anyway. If you don't, stay here and we're leaving. George didn't care, and he led the other five crew members out of the two lifeboats.
As they sailed out to sea, Mike could no longer sleep, and he felt that the grass and trees around him were full of the shadows of the second mate and the pirates who hijacked ships.
After Liang Shaoyang led several teams of people to walk for half an hour, he finally found the lifeboat.
"Everybody is working hard, we have to set up camp here before the night comes. He chose a flat slope and said to everyone.
The trees here are not as dense as in other places, with a few large trees interspersed with some grass.
Because the island is in the tropics, the temperature at night is also not very low.
The camp just needs to be as safe as possible and sheltered from the tropical wind and rain.
So, let's take action.
The men used several fire axes and saws they found from the boat to cut down small trees in the camp and clear them. And tied it with ropes between several large trees.
In one block*. Because the soil here is dry, you can sleep with grass.
Of course, this is a stopgap measure.
According to Liang Shaoyang's plan, he had to bring back some mattresses and other items from the passenger ship, and make sure that everyone had a hammock or wire bed to sleep on.
In the middle of the camp. Lu Ming was taking a few men to build a stove.
They're going to put the pots up. In the future, the forty or fifty people in the camp will have to eat here, and then distribute it to everyone.
Only in this way can the overall arrangement and planning of food be ensured.
Ren Hongyi was in charge of building the camp's fence from the felled timber.
There are no big animals on this island.
So the people in the camp don't have to worry about wild beasts hurting people. But even more terrifying than the beast were the second mate and their gang. These people do not know where they went after being separated from them.
But defense is still necessary.
And the fence can also give these panicked people a sense of security.
Of course, after the fence was built, Ren Hongyi was also responsible for building a material warehouse to store food and other supplies retrieved from the cruise ship.
The men set up*, and the women began to get busy*. They need to decorate their interiors to suit the needs of long-term life.
Although, they have been complaining since the beginning.
There were twelve women in the group of victims.
All but seven of them are married and are with their husbands. The other five were girls in their teens and twenties. Some of them went on vacation to Hawaii together, and some went it alone.
"Bai Xiaoyi, let you be wronged. Lu Ming himself had to take care of Bai Xiaoyi, but also had to be distracted to take care of the injured He Qin, and his heart was full of apologies for his new wife.
"Lu Ming, what is this? Actually, He Qin has a very good heart. It's just that her temper is a little worse, didn't she still save you desperately, just rush this point, we should also take good care of her. Bai Xiaoyi said empathetically.
"Hmm. Bai Xiaoyi, if you think like this, I'm relieved. When Lu Ming saw Bai Xiaoyi say this, he was not only emotional, but also loved Bai Xiaoyi.
Just when Lu Ming and Ren Hongyi were leading people to build a refuge camp. Mo Bing and Liang Shaoyang left there under the pretext of probing the situation on the island and walked towards the depths of the island.
"It should be around here. Mo Bing said while looking at the surrounding terrain and landforms.
Sure enough, she and Liang Shaoyang found a hidden wooden house behind a few rocks not far away.
The hut is sturdy and secluded. If Mo Bing hadn't known the approximate location of this wooden house for a long time, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Liang Shaoyang to find it.
When they opened the door to the hut, a damp musty smell hit their faces.
Although the cabin was intended to be used by the anchor staff at the time. But the humid climate of the tropical ocean still corroded many of the utensils inside.
But Mo Bing's purpose was not to find a comfortable place to stay.
When she opened a few cardboard boxes in the corner of the wooden house, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Sure enough, it's here!"
In the cardboard box, there are antennas for communication and some basic equipment for live broadcasting.
Because of the tight packaging, these electronics are obviously perfectly ready to use.
It's just that because of the loss of the live broadcast instrument, Mo Bing can't send the signal now.
While Mo Bing was checking the equipment, Liang Shaoyang looked at the wooden house.
Although the area of the wooden house is less than 20 square meters, it has all kinds of daily utensils such as wooden beds, toilets, and kitchen supplies. If there are enough
Food reserves, live streamers live here for three months without any problems at all.
In the vicinity of this wooden house, another wooden house of similar size was built. That should be for the other male host.
Thinking of the ordeal he encountered on the nameless desert island, and Renault prepared such good conditions for the host of his company, Liang Shaoyang couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face.
He had vowed never to venture out to sea again, but who knew that it would backfire, and he was pushed by fate to this desert island that had been prepared for them a long time ago.
"We can use this as a secret base. Mo Bing didn't feel Liang Shaoyang's thoughts. Instead, he said after sealing the communication equipment.
"Hmm. Liang Shaoyang put away the subtle thoughts in his heart, nodded and hummed.
Since no one knows that they still have such a logistics base. If you leave for too long, you may attract the suspicion of others.
Therefore, they disguised the hut and immediately returned to the camp.
The horrors of last night and the exertion of the day have exhausted both these tourists and the company employees.
They never wanted to move again. The heat also made them very sleepy.
Many people collapsed on the grass and fell asleep.
And Lu Ming and Ren Hongyi are still sweating like rain.
"Mo Dong, what else do you need in the camp?" Seeing Mo Bing and Liang Shaoyang coming back, Ren Hongyi wiped the sweat on his face, and hurriedly greeted and asked.
"Hongyi, you have worked hard. But we'll slowly renovate. Don't be in a hurry!" Mo Bing said.
"Mo Dong, I remembered, some of the instruments we brought are still in my room and haven't been taken out!"
What Ren Hongyi said is true.
Because he was tall and strong, and he was the security guard of Renault's live broadcast crew, the film crew gave him some spare filming equipment for safekeeping.
"Hmm. We'd better get the spare live streaming equipment back. Mo Bing said with a deep groan.
Because the crew was panicking to escape, a lot of equipment was thrown on the boat. If you want to send a distress signal through a satellite rented by Renault. Then those spare equipment were their only hope.
"But Captain Ren lives on the second floor, will those equipment be damaged?" Liang Shaoyang looked worried.
Due to the flooding of the cruise ship, only part of the cabin on the deck is now exposed to the water, and the cabin where Ren Hongyi lives has long been soaked in water.
"The equipment has waterproof packaging, and if we take it out as soon as possible, hopefully it will still be usable. Mo Bing said.
"Okay, then Captain Ren and I will go to the cruise ship to get it!" Liang Shaoyang immediately understood.
"Hmm. Don't worry, I will maintain order with Brother Zheng. Mo Bing nodded in agreement.
The live broadcast equipment is the only equipment they have to communicate with the outside world. Only by contacting the outside world in time can they hope to be rescued quickly. Therefore, Liang Shaoyang did not hesitate to run towards the port with Ren Hongyi.
When the two of them came to the small harbor where the lifeboats were moored. only to find that George and the two lifeboats were gone.
"They're on the side of the cruise ship!" Ren Hongyi searched the sea with a telescope for a while, and found a lifeboat on the side of the cruise ship.
"It looks like we can only wait for them to come back!" Although Liang Shaoyang was anxious, he could only wait patiently.
The two of them anxiously waited for the lifeboat to return soon, while searching and observing the situation around the harbor.
After all, the second officer and several of his subordinates are still on the island, which is a great hidden danger to the security of the island.
But since they just broke up today, and the second mate they also brought two buckets of biscuits. So it's unlikely that you're going to get them in trouble right now.
Liang Shaoyang and Ren Hongyi, they didn't see anyone.
"In the future, when we go out, we have to form a team of more than three people. Liang Shaoyang explained to Ren Hongyi.
"Hmm. I know. Mr. Leung. Ren Hongyi said humbly.
Liang Shaoyang's means of rescuing him and the people on board made him very respectful.
Half an hour later, George and five crew members drove back to port in two lifeboats.
