Chapter Twenty-Three: Supplies on the Island

After Yu You rinsed off the hot water and changed into a set of clothes, he came to the operation room, sat on the sofa and said: "This time I encountered some problems when I dived into the sea, so I had to give up the diving equipment halfway." ”

"Swim, do you know that you will die without oxygen in the bottom of the sea!" Meng Tian suddenly burst into tears, seeing Yu You's embarrassed appearance, the first distressed thing was Meng Tian, during the time when he lost contact with Yu You, Meng Tian was close to collapse, which is why Shen Bing was allowed to go to the sea to check the situation.

Among these people, only Shen Bing has a certain ability to dive into the sea, after all, he has been in the navy, although he is not a professional frogman, but he knows the basic knowledge of diving into the sea.

Yu You didn't expect Meng Tian to be so worried, and he couldn't help but blame himself, but he couldn't say everything at once, after all, the matter of owning the Xuanwu totem was more complicated, and telling everyone was not only that he was not responsible for him personally, but also that it was an extremely unrighteous move for Meng Tian, Shen Bing, Cai Lifan, and Hu Maocai.

Therefore, before getting on the boat, Yu You thought of his words and said sincerely: "Tiantian, it's me who is not good, I will definitely not be like this in the future, I ran into a squid and was entangled by it, so I had to take off my diving suit, it was only in the case of low depth, but I am not fine?" Don't worry, second, can you tell me if I was a good diver in high school? ”

"yes, when the boss was in high school, we went down to the river to bathe, and he dived longer than us." Shen Bing recalled the previous things, it is indeed like this, according to the level of selecting frogmen in the army, in the case of holding their breath, the longer they hold on, the greater the chance of being selected, and in terms of Yu You's ability, it is no problem to be selected as frogmen.

No matter what, it is wrong to make a beautiful woman cry, Yu You finally appeased Meng Tian, Cai Lifan pulled Yu You to the deck, and the sea ship 1000 was still floating on the sea and did not start.

"What's wrong?"

Cai Lifan said hesitantly: "Boss, it seems that our fresh water supply can't last a few days......

"What? Not enough fresh water, right? ”

Yu You remembered that when he was purchasing supplies, there was a lot of fresh water in stock, and it was only a week later, and the fresh water was about to run out? Fortunately, it's not that the diesel is gone, otherwise Yu You would have to ask for help by radio.

Yu You thought for a while, remembered the surging warship birds, and said, "Do you remember the direction where the warship birds flew?" ”

"Probably remember, it seems to be in the northwest corner."

"That's fine, let's follow the frigate birds to their nests!" Yu You doesn't want to supply in a foreign country, it is better to supply by himself, so as not to make any trouble, after all, there are more valuable tuna in the cabin, and if you go to Japan to replenish, there is more respect for bluefin tuna, and if you are not familiar with the place, you will be in trouble if you encounter some people who do not follow the rules.

Cai Lifan said inexplicably: "Can you find fresh water with those robber birds?" ”

"The nest of the frigate bird can't be at sea, right? There must be islands around here, so you can find them if you know where they are, and there must be fresh water in them. ”

"Boss, Wise!"

Next, Yu You and others turned the sea ship 1000 and went to the island in the northwest corner, according to the mark on the chart, there is indeed an island 100 nautical miles away, and the area seems to be quite large, indicating that the organisms in it are more diverse, and the freshwater resources must be abundant.

In the evening, Yu You and others arrived at the island, anchored and parked the fishing boat, Yu You said: "Let's rest on the boat first, and then go to the island to check the situation at dawn in the morning." ”

Early the next morning, Yu You and others set foot on this island, and the plants of the tropical rainforest are extremely dense, and coconut trees and palm trees can be seen everywhere.

The greedy Cai Lifan smashed down a coconut with a stone, cut an opening with a dagger he carried at any time, and drank it rumblingly, completely ignoring the priority of the next lady.

"How's it going, is it delicious? Sweet or not? Shen Bing glared at Cai Lifan like a bull, Cai Lifan said stupidly: "It's not bad, Brother Bing, do you drink?" If you drink it, I'll help you smash another one. ”

Anyway, with such a tall coconut tree smashed, Cai Lifan's accuracy is still worth affirming, it should be a lot of darts?

"I don't know how to take it myself, I still need to smash it, watch me climb up and get all these coconuts down for you." Shen Bing climbed onto the coconut tree in a puff of smoke, and more than a dozen coconuts fell down in an instant.

Yu You saw that Shen Bing and the others were more interested in coconuts, so he said: "A few of you pick coconuts here and go on the boat, I will go to the island to see the situation, Tiantian, you can stay too." ”

"No, I'm going with you!" Maybe because it was when he was diving into the sea, Yu You's dangerous behavior made Meng Tian feel insecure, so he had to follow everything he said.

"Okay, but you have to keep up, this island is huge, don't lose it, wait for me, I'll go get a weapon." Yu You returned to the boat, and Hu Maocai was overhauling the equipment inside, he was the one who stayed on the boat.

Yu You said hello to Hu Maocai, took his bronze spear wrapped in strips of cloth and got off the boat, everyone brought a walkie-talkie, and they could ask for support at any time in case of any situation.

The task of checking the situation on the island fell to Yu You and Meng Tian, their task was still to find fresh water, and the food in the ship was still relatively sufficient, if there was no drinkable fresh water, these coconuts should be able to solve the urgent need.

"You, what are you holding in your hand? Pontil? Meng Tian saw that Yu You had taken something stick-like and said curiously.

Yu You opened the strip of cloth, and a bronze spear appeared in front of Meng Tian's eyes, and the runes, hollows, and carvings inside were extremely exquisite.

"This is a bronze artifact?"

"No, it's my harpoon!"

Yu You and Meng Tian went deep into the woods and gradually left the shore, and the many birds in the trees opened the eyes of Yu You and Meng Tian, and the birds that competed for beauty cried and seemed to welcome Yu You.

"Be careful!" Yu You's eyes were sharp, and he saw a small snake hanging upside down on the tree, Meng Tian was almost bitten, and after Yu You used a bronze spear to pry the snake away, Meng Tian couldn't help but be a little afraid.

"You, there are snakes on this island."

"Don't be afraid, the creatures on the island indicate that there is a lot of fresh water reserves, and if we look for it again, we may see a stream or a small river, follow me." Yu You opened the way in front, and Meng Tian followed cautiously, observing everything around him.

The two of them walked deeper into the island, and suddenly, Meng Tian screamed, Yu You was startled, and looked ahead, it turned out to be a big lizard, sticking out its tongue to sense the heat around it, like a calf-like body, similar to an extinct dinosaur.

The lantern-sized eyes are terrifying, like monsters in the game.

"Tiantian, calm down, this is a Komodo dragon, don't alarm it, let's go around slowly." The Komodo dragon may have been preying and did not notice Yu You and the others, so it did not pose a threat to them.

Leaving the territory of the Komodo dragons, Yu You and Meng Tian climbed to an open field, where the terrain was higher and could see the island's topography at a glance.

"I was scared to death just now, there are lizards, such a big head."

"As long as you don't become hostile to it, it shouldn't attack us, Tiantian, you see, there's a stream there!" After Yu You confirmed the specific location of Tamsui, he got in touch with Hu Mao on the boat.

"Fourth, there is a stream on the island, let the second child move the coconut, take the bucket, and we will carry the fresh water."

"Roger."

Yu You and Meng Tian looked at it from a high place, this Wang Xishui is also about 2 kilometers away from the coastline, if Shen Bing and the others come from there, it will inevitably be a little troublesome, this is not like walking on the road, passing through the jungle, the soft soil, and the existence of poisonous snakes and monitor lizards.

"It's not so simple to carry fresh water to the boat, Tiantian, I'll go back with you first, and ask Shen Bing to come out with me first." Thinking of this, Yu You and Meng Tian returned to the coastline where the sea ship 1000 docked, only to see Shen Bing and Cai Lifan push a board cart down from the boat and come up to bundle dozens of plastic buckets.

"Second and third, don't rush to go."

Shen Bing said inexplicably: "What's wrong?" What's going on the road? ”

Yu You nodded and said: "That's the case, to go to the section of the stream, you have to pass through the woods and swamps, I plan to open the road with the second child first, and build a bridge to level a road that can transport fresh water when encountering water." ”

"It's not too far, is it?"

"About 2 kilometers."

determined the next work, Cai Lifan and Hu Maocai were responsible for getting some coconuts to the boat, Meng Tian was in charge of contact on the boat, and Yu You and Shen Bing took machetes and went deeper.

This time, because he didn't need to protect Meng Tian, Yu You was much more relaxed, and after coming to the place where the monitor lizard had passed, Yu You stopped and said, "There was a Komodo dragon here just now, second, be careful." ”

Shen Bing checked the state of the surrounding trees, saw the paw prints left by the monitor lizard, and said: "There is indeed a big guy, this island is not simple, boss, if you solve the freshwater problem, leave immediately." ”

"I think so too, carrying a truckload of fresh water, plus the remaining fresh water on the ship and the coconuts you have knocked down, will be enough for us to return to the coastal port." On an unfamiliar island, anything can happen, so you can't be careless.

Shen Bing built a simple bridge out of chopped wood, and stood on a swamp leading to the stream, enough for the wheels of a cart to pass by.

When it was built, in the distance of the swamp, a pair of eyes were fixed on Yu You and Shen Bing, and slowly sneaked into their attack range.

The marsh's proximity to the stream was the biggest obstacle to access to the freshwater supply point, so both men stayed here for a long time, attracting predators that foraged near the swamp.

"Dick, get out of the way!" Yu You roared, pushed away Shen Bing, who had resisted a piece of wood, and a crocodile with a bloody mouth open was in front of the two of them.

At the last moment, Yu You picked up the machete and beckoned to the crocodile.
