Day 128, the only option (2)
"Whew, ho ......" sweated in my head, my heart was still beating, but it wasn't what I thought, I didn't see anything abnormal after going around, it should be some animal passing here.
Fortunately, it wasn't them who found out about us, otherwise there shouldn't be any good fruit to eat, after all, the other party is several times more numerous than us, or even more.
It's impossible to develop here now, after all, we have already judged that this is not a good place to stay for a long time.
In the next few days, we have to go, and if they go deeper next time, they may find clues that we have survived here, which is not good news.
While the initiative is still in our hands, we have to hurry.
"What's the matter, I can't give up, I called you several times and didn't respond! Did you find anything?" Mitakon suddenly appeared behind me and spoke, startling me a lot.
"No, I heard footsteps just now, I thought they were coming, I wanted to come down and take a look, but if it didn't work, I would start first, but it turned out that I was too worried, there was no trace of people coming, it should be some animal passing by. ”
"Let's go, it's time for us to leave today or tomorrow, and we'll leave as soon as their ship leaves for the time being. Midacom was firm.
"Yes, I thought so, too, but I was worried that their ship wouldn't be there for a short time, and I had a feeling that they were waiting for someone. I looked into the distance and said with some concern.
"You're right, it's basically the same as I thought, we have enough food and a lot of water bottles now, we can only adapt to all changes in these things, everything is left to luck, even if we prepare more, we can only resign ourselves to fate at sea. ”
I nodded, Midacom was indeed right, if they found out, we wouldn't even have a chance to resist, but now that we go, we still have a chance to gamble.
"What do you see about the raft's branches, how dry are they?" I asked.
Midacom didn't say much and walked straight to the raft.
"It's not bad, it's a little cracked, and there's absolutely no problem with using it. ”
"So be it, let's divide up and prepare our things, then observe their situation, and set off in the evening if we can. "I thought about it and said.
"Okay, then let's split up, we really have to hurry up, and you should pay attention to yourself, they are likely to be on the island again. Be sure to be hidden. If there's anything out of the ordinary, we'll meet here. ”
Everything is almost ready, the only thing missing is those black floats, if there is one, it is the best, it can be used as a life jacket, but also to add buoyancy to the boat, but unfortunately, we don't have time. The seaside is too exposed to be picked up again.
Now my task is to set up the boat as soon as possible, and the shelter for us has not yet been erected......
For most of the day, Midacom did not come back, to be honest, I was a little anxious, after all, it is different now, I don't know if he is in danger or what he has gained, I just hope that he can return safely.
The shed has been erected, the tarp has been installed, and I have used a lot of cables and vines to secure it, so that the sea breeze alone should not blow it badly. I tried pushing and pulling many times. Can't pull at all.
The next thing is to fill the mineral water bottles with water, and then tie them together, these bottles can be dragged directly behind the boat, and you can bring them up and drink at any time when you are thirsty, according to two bottles of water a day for one person, we now have enough water for us to drink for twenty-five days, as long as the luck is not too bad, I think twenty-five days should be enough for us to escape.
As for the food, we have prepared a lot of dry goods, even if they are wet at sea, they will not spoil easily, as long as we save a little, there will be no problem in supporting it for about 20 days.
Now everything is ready, but Midacan has not returned, which makes me feel a little like I can't calm down, and my mind is full of thoughts about what happened to him.
"Another boat came, and they all came to the island in dinghys, and it looked like there were quite a few people, and we hurried to get ready to leave. Hurry!" Just when I was in a hurry, Midacan ran over with some black floats, and shouted at the sight of me.
"I'm all set, I've packed everything I need to pack, I won't be able to bring much this time, let's leave it at all, which direction are they coming from, we have to bypass them and get out of here while it's getting dark. I said to Midacan as I walked.
"Over there!" Mitakan pointed behind him, and then continued, "We can only tow the boat to a farther place, and leave as soon as it gets a little darker, they are here at this point, and they probably won't leave this neighborhood tonight." We are likely to be discovered by them. ”
"Okay, then go forward, you be careful, this raft is not light, you are optimistic about the road, if you are not in a hurry, go a little slower. ”
"What about Blackie and Lightning?" asked Midacon.
"In front...... I pointed to the two little ones who were playing in the distance in front of me, I still have special feelings for the two of them, especially Xiao Hei, as long as the conditions allow, I will definitely take them out of here.
It was difficult to carry the raft through the woods, and finally when it got dark, we finally got to where we wanted to go, near the mangroves.
"Come, Blackie, Lightning, come up!" I began to beckon them aboard.
"Woo~" Xiao Hei was a little afraid of this raft, and his first reaction was to take a few steps back and beg for mercy, but as soon as I made the action of supporting the boat, Xiao Hei jumped up eagerly, and the lightning was Xiao Hei's tail, and there was nothing he was afraid of, so he ran up directly twisting his round body.
The two beasts are slightly smaller on this little raft, but as long as they get out of here, there is always a chance, it's just luck.
"Look! ......," Midacom pointed to the seashore where we used to live.
"Hiss......"
There are many points of light on the beach, and the points of light are shaking around, it should be a search, someone should have found our shelter, found that it was inhabited.
"Phew, we shouldn't die......," we both looked at each other and smiled.
"Do you think they'll guess that we're leaving quietly?"
I shook my head: "At most, they will only think that we are hiding, and they may not think about where we will leave, after all, there is still food and food that we still leave in the house, and normal people will not think about it." ”
"Well, I hope as you say, let's hurry up and row, don't be around here at dawn, that's just going to be a target. ”
"Okay, let's go ......"
