Chapter Twenty-Four: Preparing to Cross the Sea
Wu Yicai was very close to the shore, about ten meters away, but the sea water had already reached his thigh!
But these ten meters seemed far away to him now, and he always felt that he was running very slowly......
Wu Yicai was thinking: It would be great if I gave birth to a few more legs, then I might have already landed on the shore.
The shark is getting closer and closer to Wu Yicai, he can't see the shark now, they are hiding, are they going to prepare for an ambush?
"Ah~!"
Wu Yicai's leg was violently bumped by something, and the force of the collision was so strong that it almost knocked him to the ground!
Shark!
It's a shark!
They're coming, how do they swim so fast?
Damn! I need to run quickly!
Run, run......
Wu Yicai was desperately urging his tired legs, and all he could do now was stride and run.
Now that the sharks were around him, they might have opened their large, toothy mouths underwater, and their targets were supposed to be his desperate legs.
"Hurry up and run, he begs you!" Wu Yicai's anxious tears flowed out, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to be eaten by sharks.
Another shark rushed at him, grazing his leg and swam past.
More and more sharks are coming around, and they're really fast in the water!
They're going to come around, I'm going to die, they're going to eat me, they're going to tear me apart with their vicious fangs!
I don't want to die, I want to live!
I want to live, and I have to go back to see my parents!
The point is, I'm not married yet, I'm still a virgin!
I don't want to die with regret just like that!
Wu Yicai was running desperately, squeezing his potential, and he was getting closer and closer to the shore......
Five meters!
Three meters!
One meter!
Wu Yicai jumped up from the sea, he finally climbed ashore, and this time he picked up another life......
Haha, I escaped!
Wu Yicai was lying on the beach, gasping for breath, the sun was so dazzling, the sea breeze was so dry, and the sand on the beach was so hot!
Everything that felt bad was so good at this time!
It's good to be alive!
Haha! I survived the shark siege!
Well?
What are the sharks circling around?
Sharks are fighting for something in the water, and those things are ......
A ray, a ratfish, and a grouper......
This is my seafood!
How does my seafood fall out?
My T-shirt......
The knot in his t-shirt broke open as he ran for his life, and some of the seafood inside fell out.
The seafood did not fall completely, there were still a few left, there was a crab, two large lobsters.
It doesn't matter if those seafood are gone, he can still catch them, the key is that he is still there, he is still alive!
Yes, to live is to hope, and in the future, Wu Yi will have more food than these seafood, and it is thanks to these seafood that his life can be saved.
Maybe it was because Wu Yicai's seafood fell out and attracted the attention of the shark that he survived.
Wu Yicai looked at the other side that seemed to be close at hand, but fortunately he didn't insist on going over.
If he chooses to continue at high tide, he reckons he may have been eaten by sharks, as it was much farther away than here.
Although Wu Yicai made the right choice in the direction selection, when the shark besieged him, he was just running because he was too nervous.
In fact, he could have used the seafood he brought with him to distract the shark earlier, which would probably have cost him a few instead of most of them.....
Sure enough, people will blindly make judgments when they are extremely nervous and panicked, and this behavior is often very fatal!
Once the judgment is wrong, then the price is often painful, ranging from injury to death!
Now Wu Yicai has no choice, he has seen the ferocity of the shark, and he can only make a raft to help him cross the sea.
Wu Yicai rested for a while, calming down his heart that was about to burst, and his legs were not as sore and weak as just now, but only trembling slightly, which should have been caused by the extreme overdraft in the running just now.
There are a lot of driftwood washed ashore by the sea on the beach, and they are very dry, so they should be perfect for rafting.
To make a simple raft, you need about eight pieces of driftwood, which is not only stable, but also allows his body to be far away from the water.
Wu Yicai collected a total of eight pieces of driftwood on the beach, and the wood was very dry and hard......
Dry wood provides good buoyancy, and driftwood is hard to withstand pressure while also withstanding the waves......
Use the four thickest driftwood to form a tic-tac-toe shape, and then use the toughest vines to wrap them in the cross method and tie them tightly!
The shelf, bound with vines, must be sturdy, and if it falls apart halfway through the water, he will have to feed the sharks......
Wu Yicai carefully checked the raft he made, it was good, it was very reliable, and it should not fall apart halfway.
In this way, the shelves at the bottom of the raft were made, and the remaining four pieces of driftwood were then tied to the shelves as decks.
He had been working on this simple raft for a long time, probably for more than an hour, and the sun was getting brighter, and he was getting more and more thirsty, and now he was probably a little dehydrated......
Wu Yicai is now going back to his hut, going back to take everything he can with him, and at the same time going back to replenish the water he has lost.
......
Wu Yi came to the hut, the first thing he did was to drink water, and there was a bucket of bamboo water, which he drank in a few sips, and now the only thing that can replenish his water is the bottles of yellowed rainwater on the ground.
The rainwater contains dust in the air, and if it is overdosed, it will cause physical discomfort, so he needs to purify the rainwater before drinking.
Need to make a simple water purifier!
This water purifier is not the kind used in the city, but it is actually similar, and the basic principle is similar.
Wu Yicai found a leaky bottle, and there was an opening at the bottom of it, which was not used to store water at all, and it could be used as the shell of the water purifier.
Because there is a hole at the bottom of this bottle, he tears it with his hand, and the bottom of it is detached from the bottle, and the next thing is to fill this water purifier with some low-density permeable substance.
When filling the bottle, the bottom of the bottle is facing up and the mouth of the bottle is facing down, but the mouth of the bottle should be sealed with something strong beforehand.
He tore off a small piece near the sleeve of his shirt and filled it at the bottom of the bottle, followed by blackened charcoal, gravel, stones, and the top layer of fine sand......
He shook the finished water purifier, and the fine sand on it did not slip out of the mouth of the bottle, and it was done.
Wu Yicai hung the water purifier with vines, poured rainwater from above, and connected a jar underneath, so that the purified water flowed directly into the jar.
The first pouring of water will not have a purifying effect, charcoal and gravel also have impurities, the water flowing down is very black, when the impurities of these fillers are cleaned, it will have a purifying effect.
Now the water that comes out of the purifier is dirty, and then it slowly becomes clear, and he can drink the clear water.
"Ah~!" The purified rain is very cool, there is no peculiar smell, and the moment you swallow it, it is a little sweet!
Wu Yicai drank a lot of water, and now his stomach is still round, and this is the first time he has experienced the feeling of drinking water and drinking full.
Wu Yicai reserved 5 liters of purified water, and the rest of the remaining rainwater was poured out by him painfully, he has to move now, and there are still a lot of things he needs to bring, and the overall weight can be a little less.
The empty bottles were chained together by him with thin vines to facilitate their transfer, and could also be used as a buoyancy device when crossing the sea.
All the fired pottery was also taken away, as well as the good basket nets, and today there are a lot of harvests in the basket nets, such as crabs, groupers, and so on......
The aloe vera planted in the ground was also dug up and taken away, which was a healing elixir.
There was also smoking charcoal, which he was ready to take away, so that it would burn all the time, and he would not have to bother to make a fire in the opposite valley.
With all his belongings, Wu Yi came to the raft, and now he only needs to push the raft into the sea to see its buoyancy and center of gravity, if he finds that it is wrong, he can also make some adjustments appropriately.
The left side of the raft sank a little, which caused the whole raft to tilt, and he needed to give it a rest!
The left side of the raft is too heavy and it needs more buoyancy, tie the empty bottle to the left side of the raft and push it into the water.
I tried it a few times and finally it was good!
The raft was back in the sea, and it floated smoothly.
Wu Yicai stepped on it slowly, the raft was very powerful, its center was very stable, there was no deviation, and the buoyancy was also very good!
Now it's time to cross the sea!
