Chapter 5: Clear Skies
"Children of mankind, come to me. It seemed to be a gentle, loving, familiar voice, which came from the fog and touched the heart of Toyama Yoshi, but he was tired and stood still, waiting for the end of it all—and he could not move, for it was only a quiet and peaceful dream.
The light stirred Toyama's eyelids—once, twice, three times, four times—and finally Toyama, who couldn't bear it anymore, opened his eyes, pulled himself out of the beautiful dream, and re-entered the reality he had to face.
The first thing that catches my eye is Wendy, who is doing her morning prayer in the morning sun, she kneels reverently in a mass of debris, her hands on her chest, her mouth silently reciting God's name and God's word, the sun shining through the gap in the upper part of the visor, covering her with a golden haze.
[If you can see such a scene every morning, then life is not bad. Yuan Shanyi, who was looking at each other, couldn't help but think like this.
This is the fourth day that the two of them have been on this island, and many things have been done in the first three days, and many situations have been clarified in these three days.
I don't know if it's a heavenly beauty or a test from the gods, on the afternoon of the next day, it rained for two hours, and the heavy rain accompanied by the wind really tested the skills of Toyama Yoshishi and the courage of the two, and the black clouds seemed to extinguish the last campfire on the isolated island, and pressed low on the heads of the two. Thankfully, Toyama did learn much better than his school homework in this regard, and the camp he and Wendy had built together was sturdy enough, and with the combination of the gutter and the three-story roof, the two not only kept the burning campfire, but also collected a large amount of fresh water and washed the salt and dirt off his body - this is very important, because until this moment, Toyama Yoshishi was able to clean his wounds, and many parts of his body began to slowly recover and heal.
On the third day, the weather was fine, the breeze was blowing, and the sun was shining, so after obtaining a day's food and remaking two improvised devices for collecting fresh water from the banana trees, Toyama Yoshi, who had improved his health, began to grope little by little to examine the relatively intact wreckage on the beach. The ghosts and birds don't need those delicate artifacts, but for the two who are now on the island, even a few insignificant dishes and cutlery can be a lifesaver in this lack of tools.
It can be regarded as a hard work, after spending an afternoon of hard work and exploring the wreckage of two relatively complete ships, Toyama Yoshi's has indeed gained a lot, coupled with Wendy's exploration activities as always, if this day is described as a fruitful one, maybe neither of them will refuse- They were given a sharp fire axe, an American-style M1 spur, five sets of well-preserved cutlery, four military kettles, a bulletless 1911, and a vast amount of artificial leather, but the most satisfying thing for the two of them was to find a well-sealed bottle of wine and iron kitchen utensils, which finally saved them from continuing to eat the perfect combination of grilled fish and coconut.
It is worth mentioning that although Toyama Yoshishi also found four large boxes of military rations placed in the corner of the hull warehouse in the cabin, just like the person who opened these boxes with a surprised face before, after a helpless sigh, he silently re-closed the boxes, and resealed them for posterity. Although the date of production and the place of production are very clear, unless there is no other food to eat, no one will touch this kind of thing.
"Good morning, distant mountains. Wendy's voice pulled Toyama out of the morning fog, her voice as gentle as ever.
"Ah, you're good. Toyama opened his squinted eyes at this time, then stood up and walked out of the simple tent he had set up, and began his new day of recovery and exercise in the early morning sun outside.
Breakfast is the turtle eggs I picked up yesterday, the eggs are cracked on the stones soaked in seawater, the transparent and viscous color melts on the stones, and then quickly solidifies into a solid under the action of temperature, after a few random picks with a blade, four fried turtle eggs were eaten by the two of them - and then with a layer of coconut that has not changed for a few days, but it can meet the water and electrolytes required by the human body, although it is not a very rich breakfast, but at least it ensures the physical strength and morale of the two of them.
After breakfast, it's still busy time. The fresh water collection device under the banana tree in the woods not far away should have been full, so after checking the recovery of all parts of Toyama's body, Wendy walked in that direction with the new container. As for Toyama Yoshi, after a little exercise, he first checked whether there was any damage in the improvised tent, and then confirmed the color of the dried fish that he had dried yesterday, and then took advantage of the fact that the tide had not fully risen to reinforce the fishing ground made of stones and metal wreckage, and while he was busy with all this, Wendy almost brought back fresh water and new food, and the two of them did some pre-eating treatment of the new food, and then started a new day of conversation under the shade of the tree, still the same tranquil atmosphere, still waiting to see the day of hope for rescue。
-- And then it happened.
"Your friend really gets caught up in women's problems all the time. Wendy shook her head and sighed, with a knowing smile on her face, holding her knees in her hands, sitting beside Toyama Yoshi, "But this also means that he is very gentle, a person with such a character trait, no matter where he goes, I'm afraid he will not stay in peace." ”
"Yes, that guy Guiming......" Toyama Yoshishi sighed softly, then lowered his head and grabbed a handful of sand, watching the sand slip through his fingers one by one.
"Huh?" Suddenly, at this time, Wendy suddenly uttered a wary word, and she stood up and cast her gaze into the still bright sky, her body tense, maintaining a posture that could move or defend at any time.
"What's wrong?" Feeling the guarded look of the woman next to him, Toyama Yoshiya also lifted the loose sand in his hand, and then pulled out the military thorn mounted on his waist, he first observed the situation around him, but there was still no other sound coming from the quiet island, and then he asked his companion with some confusion.
"Some...... Wrong. With a little hesitation and lack of confidence, the girl, who had been optimistic for the past two days, showed some anxiety at this moment, and there was a little weakness in her eyes staring at the sky overhead, as if something important to her was being disrupted, "The flow of the wind is strange, as if ......"
At this moment, in the beautiful clear sky until now, dark gray clouds began to gather together, and formed a huge vortex and began to slowly turn around. And this is just the beginning, the surrounding scenery seems to be a charge for the launch of a drastic change, the clear sky is immediately covered by dark clouds, the original morning began to become windy, and the wind swept up the huge waves, breaking the waves fiercely together, forming an even greater wave, lapping the island.
It might have been a sign of a typhoon, the trees swaying in the wind, the huge boulders and large pieces of wreckage being pushed forward by the storm on the beach, and the smaller wreckage turning into a flutter of floc a moment earlier—everything began to crumble at this moment, whether it was the improvised tent that had been built to shelter from the wind and rain, or the wreckage that showed its past glory on the shoreline, and even the island itself was shivering in the violent storm.
"Damn, let's grab something and head into the interior of the island. Toyama felt the hurricane that was about to rip his cheek right now, and yelled at Wendy, "In that case, we might be able to escape." ”
"Wait!" But just as Toyama Yoshito pulled the girl and wanted to leave, the girl suddenly grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and then he felt as if he was protected by some kind of force, and the trouble caused by the wind on him suddenly decreased, so he looked at the girl in surprise. On Wendy's body, some distorted areas that reflect cyan brilliance due to the high-speed flow of air prove that the girl holds some kind of strange power, and from the hands she holds tightly, it can be clearly felt that it has surpassed the physique of ordinary people, "It's not a naturally formed storm, there are people fighting in it!"
Following Wendy's gaze, Toyama took a closer look at the center of the storm - as if it were an illusion, two high-speed staggered figures were there to show their strength.
But now is not the time to care about this, in any case, since the other party has caused such a powerful storm, Toyama Yoshino thinks that he is strong enough to treat this level of disaster as nothing, and saving Wendy and his own life in such a situation is what he wants to think about now, so he tugged Wendy, intending to pull the other party away.
And things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
"LokVahKoor!" a voice pierced through the sky, it wasn't the voice of the two of them, it wasn't coming from the direction of the two people fighting in the sky, it seemed to come from every piece of air around Toyama Yoshi, and the whole sky trembled at the command of this voice.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the storm stopped, the clouds cleared, the rolling stone faded by inertia and then turned back into the stubborn stone that stood still on the sand, as if it were just a brief dream, and there was no beginning and end in the turn - except for the two figures that fell straight from the sky overhead.
