"Went to contact the other people's team, haven't you come back yet......"

"Yes, do you want to arrange another team of people to go over......"

"How many of us are ...... here?"

"For safety, five to eight people were arranged to go over at a time, and two waves have already been there. Now there are only a dozen of us here, Ryushaoyou, me, Rodong, Miss Misiko, Sakura, two stewardesses, a prisoner of pirates, and a few people rescued from the dungeon, but they are not easy to communicate with......"

"Brother Dawei, you said that the first two waves of people went back and never replied, could it be related to the Mr. Zhao who secretly followed the past, is something ......wrong?"

"It's hard to say, but we don't have reliable people on our side right now. If Luo Dong and I are arranged, to be honest, I am not at ease about the situation here, in case ......"

"I see, don't ...... for now"

In the hall of the pirate's den, He Zilong and Li Dawei looked outside, chatting with the sea breeze.

The entire steamer had dozens of employees, and after some were killed and wounded, a dozen pirate prisoners were seized. Then in order to go to the pirate lair, and explore the inner workings of the island. Previously divided into three teams and headed in three directions.

He Zilong's team had the most manpower, but after arriving at the pirate's lair, He Zilong felt that there was no need to go deeper. A few people were arranged as a team to return to the cave on the other side of the island before, ready to call everyone over.

However, after the team returned, there was no news for a few days, and no one returned.

Out of uneasy thoughts, He Zilong arranged for a second team of people to go over. There was a small accident in the middle, that is, Mr. Zhao and his dog's legs, quietly took advantage of the night and the lack of people to monitor, they followed the second wave of the team and disappeared into the night together.

Then, there is no then. A few days later, the second team, like the first team, did not pick up anyone, but disappeared by itself. Now, it became the situation in front of him where He Zilong and Li Dawei were chatting.

It's still in the pirate's den, take a closer look. Most of them are women. and a few of his own people, as well as a few hostages rescued from the dungeon, I don't know if they have been detained for too long, some are autistic, or they deliberately don't want to say anything.

After knowing that they could not contact the outside world, they fell silent. It's hard to communicate, but if you want to do something, talk to them about it, and you'll still be able to do it together, which is the most important thing. Therefore, in line with the idea of people-oriented, it is the time to employ people, He Zilong did not force them to explain anything.

Of course, waiting for space is not a thing, the people who arranged to go out did not come back, but the people who stayed naturally could not wait for nothing.

For example, fix the dilapidated fishing boat where it can be repaired first. No matter how slow it is, there is no progress even if it is less. However, most of the people who remain are women, and there is a limit to the heavy work they can do.

As a last resort, He Zilong first arranged for them to go around looking for plants that could replace flax, and they needed to rub a lot of cottage ropes, and they were worried that these ropes were not strong enough, so they could only rely on quantity to make up for this shortcoming, so the demand for these was very large.

And the matter of cutting branches and bamboo was divided between He Zilong and Li Dawei, as well as a few rescued male hostages. In order to take reasonable shifts, two modes of work and transportation were used in rotation.

It's just that this kind of activity has only been going on for a few days. It had to be cancelled due to the sudden change in weather.

It was a night, and it was supposed to be fine during the day. But in the evening, the weather suddenly fell sharply, and the wind was strong outside. An even more terrifying cold snap and a blizzard that obscured the sky are coming again!

"We seem to have forgotten that it's around December now. It was about to enter winter, not to mention the changeable weather at sea......" He Zilong looked at the weather outside and couldn't help but smile bitterly at everyone.

"Because of the decrease in numbers, the food and clothing left in the pirate's den are enough for a dozen of us. If you don't arrange for the two teams to go out, and suddenly the weather changes greatly, I am afraid that I will not have enough food, and I will have to go outside to find food in the middle of a heavy snowstorm. This can barely be regarded as a bad thing turned into a good thing......" Li Dawei tightened the clothes on his body, as well as the pirates' old clothes, and responded with a wry smile.

The clothes in the pirate warehouse are not high-end, but they are thick. Of course, it's not too clean, but it's not to the point where you can't wear it, and if it's mixed to this extent, it's not too demanding. Even those women who love beauty have to put a layer of paper on their clothes first, and then put on the pirates' old clothes.

Relying on these and bonfires, everyone is barely holding on.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that this snowstorm not only did not stop in two or three days, but became more and more Bengali.

The cold high pressure followed the northwesterly airflow behind the westerly trough, invaded southward, and finally denatured out to sea. During a cold wave, the cold air causes the local temperature to plummet, the ground pressure to rise sharply, and sometimes to cause strong winds and waves. Cold wave weather is the most widespread of all bad weather, and can generally affect about 10 million square kilometers in winter!

In the northeast, it is manifested in more violent winds and heavy snowfall, and the snowfall is the highest in the country, and in the south of the Yangtze River, it is often accompanied by cold wind and bitter rain. And in the ocean, the level of this metamorphosis threat will only increase in a straight line.

Even if there is food, you can't eat it cold, and the water must be heated. One of the necessities of a fire is to have enough wood to maintain it. And this, there are not many pirate dens. In desperation, everyone had to use all the wood they had collected a few days ago and was intended to be used to repair fishing boats, and all of them were used as firewood to burn. For heating and cooking!

"The development of things is always unpredictable, and the good things and bad things change too quickly, and you don't know what you're doing. I arranged for someone to contact other people, and they all got lost, but they saved their rations. I found materials to repair the ship, but in the end it was basically used as firewood for heating. The skill points are all off, but it's okay, just in time to use ......" He Zilong sighed and threw a piece of wood into the fire.

The crowd didn't know how to express their opinions, because that's how things were going.

In order to centralize heating and save wood, everyone now sleeps in the largest living room. It's just that this place is not as well sealed as a small room after all, and from time to time a cold wind blows through the cracks.

He Zilong got up, came to the window, and looked outside.

I saw that outside, and even some small seas on the beach, were frozen. The fingers that are exposed to the outside even feel numb and frozen as soon as the wind blows. The sky was gloomy and terrible, it should be morning, but the sky was still very dark, the air around was unusually cold, and a large number of snowflakes were flying all over the sky!
