Chapter 57: An Uncertain Future
The main island of the Zhonghu Islands, inside the summer camp base.
Deputy Director Zhou stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, he had just had lunch, he did not take a break as usual, but directly devoted himself to the next work.
It is said that it is work, but in fact, it is no different from vacation, basically drinking tea, reading books, and reporting work every day. The following things seem to be on the right track, and the staff knows what to do without worrying about it.
What needs his heart to worry about is some unexpected events, such as the fake suicide incident created by a middle school student named Suning last time, for example, now there is a sudden power outage and a sudden signal interruption.
He had already sent someone to investigate, but there was always an indescribable anxiety in his heart.
Deputy Director Zhou picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.
The door was knocked a few times, Zhang Decai walked in breathlessly, didn't care about wiping the sweat off his head, threw his gloves on the sofa, approached Deputy Director Zhou, and said in a low voice:
"Brother-in-law, the situation is not right, all the signals on the island are interrupted, all the electrical equipment is out of order, even the mobile phone and satellite phone cannot be activated normally, and I checked the ship, the new configuration of the ship is not working, and even the starting signal cannot be received. Only one old ship barely starts. ”
Deputy Director Zhou was shocked, and vaguely felt that the situation here was definitely unusual, as an old politician, the first thing to learn was not to be aggressive, but to consider whether he could afford to take responsibility.
As the leader of the summer camp, the biggest responsibility is to maintain stability and maintain safety, not to solve the problem of power outages and signal cuts.
Therefore, the first thing he has to think about now is to send the students out safely as soon as possible to ensure their safety.
Deputy Director Zhou is very aware of what he should do and what he should not do.
I only heard him command in a deep voice:
"Notify the students and staff of each school immediately and evacuate immediately!"
"But three groups of students have left for other islands." Zhang Decai reminded.
"Will the kayak work?" Deputy Director Zhou asked.
Zhang Decai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously nodded, of course the kayak can be used, and the human kayak can be used no matter what the situation, as long as it is not broken.
"Since it can be used, you can gather the staff and go and bring the students back to me!" Deputy Director Zhou is full of courage, and the current situation does not allow him to delay a little time, and no one knows what will happen here.
Kayaking?! Manpower?! More than 10 nautical miles!? Zhang Decai almost dared not imagine what a difficult task this was!
Seeing Zhang Decai standing in a daze, Deputy Director Zhou waved his impatient hand and shouted, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”
Zhang Decai reluctantly turned around and left, his heart was bitter, he understood that the leader had a mouth, and his subordinates broke their legs, and now he was afraid that he would be busy.
**********************************************
Almost at the same time, Suning's group of people all ran to the dock and boarded the speedboat.
The sailor in charge of driving the ship, as soon as he pulled the valve, the throttle sound that used to rumble and was unusually harsh, disappeared at this moment, and the engine did not react at all.
Under the longing and anxious gaze of the beautiful schoolgirl, the young sailor was like a chicken blood, and his blood rushed to the sky, and he pulled several times in disbelief, but the engine just didn't give face, and he didn't react at all.
Suning frowned, this is not a good sign, combined with the situation that everyone's mobile phones all failed just now, Suning sighed, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, the more afraid of something, the more you are afraid of something!
"Go up! Go to the storage room and find out what escape tools you have! Suning shouted commanding.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly went ashore and ran towards the storage room. After all, they are all half-grown children, and they have never experienced a moment of disaster, not to mention them, but a few staff members who came with them, all of them have no master at this time, and they all regard Suning as the backbone.
Everyone ran wildly all the way, and found the storage room at the end of the shade path, the storage room was about the size of a basketball court, the door was locked, and the staff didn't have time to take out the key.
At this time, the staff who was still about to take the key, his mouth was wide open, staring at Suning sluggishly, and his eyes were like discovering an incomparably hideous ancient beast.
God, the highest endurance of this door is one and a half tons, and it can be kicked open at once, what a lot of power!
Suning didn't have time to pay attention to what the staff thought, and followed the people to the backyard.
At this moment, the screams of surprise from the schoolgirls were suddenly heard.
"Great! Sun Hao, have you found a kayak?! ”
Immediately, Suning saw the male student who came to talk to him that day, and raised his chin high, like a proud peacock.
Suning ignored it and continued to rummage through the storeroom.
With a lot of effort, everyone turned over the storage room and counted the kayaks they found, and there were only four medium-sized kayaks, and I don't know if it was too bad luck, Suning and the four of them didn't find it, that is, they didn't have the right to choose the control of the kayaks.
The crowd lined up the three kayaks, all of which were of the same model and could only seat 4 people.
The maximum number of people in the four kayaks was 16, but when they counted, they found that there were 19 people in the staff, and there must have been three people who could not escape by kayaking, or to put it nicely, there must have been three people waiting for rescue.
No one wants to be the three people who were abandoned and rescued, a simple mathematical problem, and then added the weight of life, to become extremely heavy, so heavy that everyone could not bear it at all.
Someone gets on the kayak, someone gets abandoned, this is fate, the cruel reality of simple mathematics, everyone is in the rules, there is no escape.
Everyone was silent, and the sound of the rushing sea water hitting the rocks was only in the quiet dock, and the solemn breath almost condensed into a scalp-tinging emotion. Everyone hopes that someone will take the initiative to stay, so that there is no need to do multiple-choice questions, but, in the face of a life and death crisis, who will sacrifice himself for others, at least, Suning feels that he will not be so great!
"Let's give it a first choice." Finally someone spoke, it was a man's voice, the voice was very muffled, probably not wanting people to know who he was.
The proposal was unanimously agreed by most of the people, and they immediately took action, and after a while, it was arranged.
Except for Suning, the four of them from the first middle school, every other school found a kayak, and the staff also found one, so without exception, they successfully boarded their kayaks.
Suning is a little helpless, but this is the reality, you can't escape it, you can only face it.
At this time, Chen Jing suddenly walked over and looked at Suning fixedly.
"Do you want to pity us? No need for your fake kindness! Chen Shu turned her head, not wanting to look at Chen Jing's smug face.
"No," Chen Jing shook her head and smiled, her smile was full of victory, "I said, the second middle school owes you two lives, and one day it will be returned to you, now, the opportunity is for you, our kayak, can still seat two people, it is considered a double love." ”
"Two?" Chen Shu turned her head again at some point, and said disdainfully: "The kayak can only carry four people, and there is only one quota at most, where are the two from, will you count!" ”
Chen Jing was not angry, and said lightly:
"So what about me volunteering to stay? Isn't it just two places? ”
"You!?"
Not only Chen Shu and Qin Xiaoru were shocked, but even Suning and Yi Qingxuan were inexplicably surprised, as if they were meeting Chen Jing for the first time, looking her up and down.
"You only get one chance, and if you haven't decided after three minutes, I can only say I'm sorry."
Suning turned around, looked at the three girls one by one, and chuckled:
"What do you think?"
Chen Shu replied first: "I won't accept such a woman's kindness, I won't go." “
Qin Xiaoru secretly glanced at Suning, and when she saw him looking over, she quickly lowered her head and said softly:
"Where Suning is, I'm there."
Yi Qingxuan just shook her head.
Suning has an indescribable feeling, this feeling, really good.
He tilted his head, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said:
"You see, their decision is my decision."
In the tone, there is a unique free and easy atmosphere.
Chen Jing looked at Suning quietly, no one knew what she was thinking, and after about a minute, Chen Jing suddenly said:
"I've changed my mind." She tugged back a strand of hair that hung down to her ear, "I think it should be a lot of fun to follow you on an adventure, I don't want to miss such an amazing adventure." ”
There was a strange deep thought in her eyes, like a memory, and like a longing.
"Are you sure you're not crazy?" Suning looked at Chen Jing strangely, wondering what she had in her head, she had the opportunity to leave the island, but she stayed, not because she was sick in the brain.
"My life is full of certainty, very boring, I want to try the uncertain future, maybe for me, the uncertain unknown is the most desirable."
Chen Jingyun is light and light, and her eyes are far away.
Her decision is incomprehensible, and women themselves are a peculiar species that cannot be judged by normal logic.
But when sweet potatoes and glasses jumped off the kayak, Suning had to be surprised.
In response to the puzzled eyes cast by everyone, the glasses chose an extremely reasonable and extremely unreasonable explanation.
"I think it's too risky at sea, and the chances of survival while waiting for rescue are higher."
After speaking, he also pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose.
As for the sweet potato, touching the curly hair just laughs.
"Whatever the eldest sister says, it's what it is."
So, in a group of extremely surprised and suspicious eyes, the first middle school and the second middle school stood together again.
"Aren't you afraid that I will take Chen Shu and them to take a kayak and run away?" Suning smiled brightly.
"Welcome." Chen Jing smiled sweetly, tired of itchy.
"A pair of dog men and women." Chen Shu muttered dissatisfiedly.
Behind him, Qin Xiaoru knocked Chen Shu's head unceremoniously.
