Chapter 696: Helpless

The two of them don't sleep much, and being in the head is actually not a very stylish thing to imagine, in addition to the work that can be done by others, they need to take on more responsibilities. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Albert suddenly asked, "Cheng, did you sleep?" ”

"Not yet." Cheng Qianxun replied softly: "You hurry up and go to sleep, otherwise how much time will you sleep in one night?" ”

"I was about to talk about it." Albert was in an almost pleading tone: "Can you take a class for me tonight?" ”

Cheng Qianxun hesitated: "My people don't know what to do. ”

"It's just staring at them if they're lazy. I would love to get a good night's sleep. "As a head, you can't say tired, and you can't let you be tired.

Cheng Qianxun agreed: "You can sleep at ease." ”

"Thank you!" Albert seemed to be really relieved after getting the promise, and after a while, he let out a slight snoring sound.

Cheng Qianxun got up, and as soon as she sat up, Sneijder turned around and hugged her waist: "It's not time yet." ”

"Replace Barron and let him go to bed early." She said softly.

"I'll go." Gordon got up first: "You two can sleep, Rudolph and I will go, it will be six hours until dawn, and one person will be three hours." ”

"That's it." Rudolph muttered, still leaning sideways.

Gordon had already gone out with a quilt on, and Cheng Qianxun had to lie down.

"You, you just can't finish up, so many men." Sneijder took her into his arms.

After a while, Barron came down from the stairs, and saw Albert lying there in the distance, his hand carefully probing left and right in his pocket. It wasn't until he walked in to make sure Albert was asleep that he took the gun out of his pocket and walked to his bunk to lie down. If it was Cheng Qianxun or other teammates, he would know that there was someone in his class, and he would definitely be suspicious.

Albert and Barron both slept well that night, and they were indeed tired. Albert, in particular, was one of the eighty or so people still alive on board. No matter how good he is, he is also a normal person, he only sleeps six or seven hours a day, and he will be tired in the morning and evening.

Cheng Qianxun carefully calculated the time again, there will be sixteen days left when tomorrow arrives, maybe tomorrow, these octopuses will be hungry, find a way to take them for dinner. And the supplies on the ship are getting less and less, and the things in the cold storage are all moved out and thrown away. Even if they were left alone, the meat and vegetables would have gone bad a long time ago.

In order to survive, the original people on the ship looted and hoarded food and water everywhere, which caused a lot of waste. The current food can last for three days, and they have already started, and every time they pass by, they go in and search for anything, and sometimes they can turn it out. It's possible that you'll have to find something to eat for the rest of the day.

When it was dawn, Rudolph ran down and woke up his teammates and Albert from side to side: "Wake up, something's wrong." ”

As soon as the sky was bright, the east revealed the white of the fish's belly, and it was this light that could see a darker color on the originally endless sea.

"Hopefully it's not the reef or yesterday's whale daddy." The smile on Rudolph's lips seemed to be a good thing. When you see land, as long as you get to land, you can get rid of these octopuses under the boat.

Albert took the telescope and observed it carefully, and frowned slightly after putting it down: "Maybe it's not the mainland, it's just an ordinary island." Barron, call all the people up and sail! ”

A few people who were awake next to them were puzzled: "But the coal ran out, and it ran out yesterday." ”

Albert rolled his eyes, and Barron took the first step: "Do you hear it, prepare to sail the boat, and dismantle the furniture without coal." ”

Barron is really very smart, he will do what he says, and as for what to do, he will figure it out by himself.

Cheng Qianxun asked lightly: "Actually, people can also burn it, and the corpses in the warehouse below can also be transported over, and they are almost dry firewood." ”

The person who choked has nothing to say, so obediently accept the order. Everyone was woken up, and thirty men took axes to the nearest place to the boiler room to chop furniture, and as long as they could burn, they all moved over and threw them into the boiler.

And those octopuses are still lying on the deck of the boat, but they have eaten one by one yesterday, so they are lying motionless and eating. Let them go, and when there is really no food, they will definitely be knifed.

The ship sailed again, and as it got closer, the black area was indeed an island. There is a range of about fifty kilometers, with a green patch and mountains.

Albert looked at the nautical chart and frowned slightly: "Why is there no marking?" ”

"There are many islands that are not marked, and this is not the only one." Ackerman said beside him, he was still quite happy, his cheeks were a little red: "There should be fresh water on it, I saw the waterfall, octopuses can only be in the sea, if they go ashore, they will live for up to four days." ”

Albert didn't answer, he picked up the binoculars and looked at the island again. Not only are there many trees, but you can also see a waterfall cascading down from the top of the mountain, and birds flying on it.

Cheng Qianxun is not optimistic, and a small island appeared inexplicably, which is obviously not a good thing. She has encountered too many such things, as if God is gracious, but in fact, she will change the venue and continue to toss them.

Damn Raguil, she must still be angry that they ate her sheep. The gods are really stingy, just a sheep!

Albert also had his own plans, he picked up the bullhorn and shouted: "Stay on the shore later, don't stay too long, get fresh water and food, and leave." ”

They needed supplies, and from where Albert had pointed to the charts, the typhoon had blown them back into the depths of the sea. It's at least seven or eight days' voyage from the coastline now, so there's plenty of fresh water and food.

Cheng Qianxun's teammates looked at each other, and only so, since the scene has been set, there is no escape at all, otherwise they will encounter greater problems and dangers.

There was enough wood in the pot, and the boat continued to move on, and many people ran to the deck and began to laugh and discuss the island. Later, I will catch a few birds, look for kelp shellfish on the coast, and if there are wild boars or something, I will catch some and beat the tooth sacrifice.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Look, what's that?" "I saw more than a dozen ships stranded on the coast. Judging by the age, most of them are ancient three-masted galleons, and there is even a more modern ship.

Albert picked up his glasses and looked at them: "The writing on the ship has rusted, it must be a merchant ship, built in the fifties and sixties." ”

Even if it was a ship carrying food, the food on it would have long since expired.

After a while, Barron came up, and he gasped slightly: "Head, let's go, it feels a little wrong, this island is a bit evil." ”

Ackerman was full of hope to go up, after all, there were living creatures on it, and as long as there were living creatures, it would prove that people could survive: "You're too sensitive, it's just a few boats." They were probably blown there by the wind! ”

There is this possibility, and there is such a small island here, which plays the role of interception, blocking all the ships.

"But why aren't any of these boats looking for them?" Barron still felt that it was inappropriate: "Even if it is a legend, there have been that kind of ghost islands, and after entering, you can never come out again." Originally, I was worried that if we got up later, the octopus would follow if we used a lifeboat, but now I don't have to worry. ”

Barron looked at everyone and was serious: "All those octopuses jumped into the sea and followed them for a while. In the blink of an eye, they were gone. ”

"No, you're too suspicious. I'm a materialist! Ackerman walked to the other side to see if the octopus was still there: "Sure enough, it's gone, isn't that better?" They went to sea because the sun was enough here, and they disappeared, and it was possible to burrow to the bottom of the ship. ”

"Not at the bottom of the boat!" Barron affirmed, "I never left them, and they disappeared in the sea." ”

"Maybe I think we can't afford to mess with it, so it's sinking." Ackerman turned around and returned to his original position, looking at the green island: "See, there are still skuas, and frigate birds, so many kinds of birds, is there any problem?" ”

Albert had been listening, and he also began to hesitate, and finally looked at Cheng Qianxun and her teammates, and raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Qianxun also looked at her teammates left and right, but her teammates' expressions already showed everything, so she brought the same expression to her teammates, that is, helplessness. He said helplessly: "Sometimes things don't just come by deciding. ”

What is the answer? Albert had a slight hint of banter on his face, perhaps thinking that they were all putting on a score. Since he didn't get advice, he decided to take it himself.

He thought for a moment and walked to the steering wheel and said to a sailor who was in control: "Left full rudder." ”

"What?" Ackerman suddenly jumped up: "Don't you go to such a good place?" ”

"Sorry professor, we're not here for sightseeing. Since it's so safe, why don't you take a few people on a lifeboat to take a look? "Albert is very gentle and authentic.

Take a lifeboat ride over and what if those octopuses go and come back? Instead of sitting on the boat as food, Ackerman immediately shut his mouth and stopped gnawing.

"Left full rudder!" The sailor shouted once, then turned the wheel to the left sharply.

But this time it was not like before, as soon as it turned, the boat also turned with it soon after. The sailor tried his best, but he still couldn't move: "Head, something is wrong, don't move!" ”

No way? Albert walked over and tried to pull it with all his strength, but the two of them tried hard together, but they still couldn't move a bit.

Albert said to Barron, "Come and help." ”

"I think it's better to forget it!" Cheng Qianxun stopped, she still had helplessness: "Sometimes things can't be decided by decision. ”

Rudolph also spoke: "Forget it, otherwise the steering wheel will be broken, and you won't be able to walk when you can go." ”

This is also true, Albert thought about it and gave up. He looked at Cheng Qianxun and her teammates with strange eyes, although he didn't speak, Cheng Qianxun knew that sooner or later he would also ask.

The boat headed towards the island... (To be continued.) )
