Chapter 422: Life in the Wasteland
"What kind of place is this? ……”
Han Chong really couldn't stand the endless waves, after he rested for a while, he used his water control magic power to swim out of the water, just opened his mouth and shouted a few times, and was immediately suffocated by a big wave, choking Han Chong almost didn't cough up blood.
Several wave strikes in a row made Han Chong appreciate the unpredictability of the sky, his own water control is still effective against a small river, but for this ocean, by the way, this is an ocean, and if he wants to fight against nature with manpower, he is really a little overwhelmed.
After calming down, Han Chongxue behaved, his hands didn't slide anymore, he relaxed his whole body, and only relied on the buoyancy of the life jacket to float on the sea.
In this way, although the waves are big, they can no longer slap on Han Chong, at most, sometimes the big waves sweep him into the sea more than ten meters deep, but Han Chong, who has the ability to control the water, can always float on the surface.
Han Chong didn't know how long he had been floating in the waves, but the sky slowly brightened, as if last night's storm had never appeared, and when the sun jumped out of the east, the sky and the sea were rendered golden colors.
"Damn, it's finally stopped......"
As the sun rose, the waves gradually subsided, and the sea water seemed to be still, but Han Chong found that the sea still had a direction, at least his body was always moving.
"Let's eat something first......"
After tossing all night, although he could use the spiritual qi flow given by Jiaolong to restore his strength, but that could not be eaten as a meal, Han Chong took out a piece of slimy chocolate soaked by sea water from his life jacket pocket and stuffed it directly into his mouth, he was now extremely in need of supplementing calories.
The originally sweet chocolate now has a fishy smell, which made Han Chong swallow it in his stomach with a lot of effort, compared to the taste of chocolate. Han Chong paid more attention to his own life.
Chocolate can't be soaked, and after Han Chong ate all the four or five pieces of chocolate in his pocket, he took out the mineral water and drank a big sip.
Han Chong didn't have the idea of saving some water to drink in his mind, in his mind, Xu Guang and the others would definitely be able to find him soon, but Han Chong didn't know that he was now hundreds of kilometers away from the coordinate location.
In the early morning, the sea was foggy, and although it was not that I couldn't see my fingers, it was also hazy and unclear from dozens of meters away.
An hour passed. Han Chong finished drinking a bottle of water, and his heart was filled with the joy of escaping death. He didn't know if the bald Ah Si and Zheng Sen were swallowed by the fire, and whether they escaped by parachuting at the last second.
However, none of this seems to be too important, Han Chong may still hope that they are alive, so that he can find Tu Yuwei.
This expedition failed in the end, and Han Chong was lonely again, and his mood was a little depressed to be honest.
Soon. Two hours passed, and Han Chong drank the second bottle of water, thinking in his heart how to save Tu Yuwei when he turned around.
When you're alone. Really don't know what to do.
Han Chong thought of his family, his father Han Xiaoli, and his mother Xiong Caixia, and he didn't know what happened to their supermarket. I don't know if my sister, brother-in-law and eldest brother continue to expand the scale of the supermarket.
Of course, Han Lu's performance in school is not good.
By the way, Han Chong forgot that he still had to hunt for treasure in the sea. If it is really such a big ocean as it is now, I am afraid that my water control magic power will be greatly reduced.
In this way, after thinking about it for a long time, three hours passed, and the sun had already risen above Han Chong's head, and the scorching sun made Han Chong have to bury his head in the water from time to time to reduce the exposure of sunlight.
This ghost place, how is Lao Tzu going to get out.
Han Chong thought about his family, his friends, and his relatives, and then he wanted to go out.
Five hours had passed, and the hour hand of Han Chong's watch had already pointed to twelve o'clock at noon, and the four bottles of mineral water in Han Chong's pocket had all been drunk, and his lips were white and cracked by the salty sea water bubbles.
But fortunately, Han Chong found a reef in the fourth hour, although when he hit it, Han Chong's arm was injured a little, but there was always a place to stay.
This is a dead coral reef, the surface of the sea is only more than two meters high, more than one square in size, Han Chong can only sit on it, he can't lie down if he wants to.
"What's wrong? Why hasn't the rescue team arrived? ”
Han Chong faintly felt that something was wrong at this moment, it had been more than ten hours since the plane crash, and during this period, not to mention the ship, Han Chong hadn't even seen a plane.
This phenomenon is very abnormal, with the current development of the aviation industry, how can there be no planes passing by?
It was only at this time that Han Chong began to wonder which ghost place he had floated to.
Seriously, the plane departed in Savage Mountain, but due to a navigation failure, I didn't know where the plane crashed in the end.
Then, I floated for a few hours, and I didn't know where I went.
Isn't he in Southeast Asia anymore?
And where did that go?
This is the Indian Ocean?
Han Chong's geography is still okay, what he should be close to is the Indian Ocean, right? Can't make the Pacific Ocean, right?
After waiting for another hour, Han Chong began to crave rain, because the water in his body evaporated so much in the sea that Han Chong could now lick his lips with his tongue to bring off a piece of bloodstained skin.
Compared to the mirage in the desert, facing the vast ocean without a sip of drinkable water, this situation is obviously more miserable, Han Chong tried to drink two mouthfuls of seawater, but he almost vomited out his bitter gall.
And if you want to control the rain, it rains, Han Chong's current state is simply impossible. You can barely store a little seawater, but when the dragon spits it out, it will be seawater, and it will be useless.
Han Chong swore that he would never overeat again in the future, if the four bottles of water just now were saved, it would be able to last for two days, and it would not be as exhausted as now.
"No, if you stay like this, you will die of thirst if you don't get sunburned......"
Han Chong stood up and looked around, he wanted to see if there were any islands around him that could solve his drinking water problem.
"Huh? There's a lot of reef here, huh?"
After calming down, Han Chong found that on the sea in front of him, there were many large and small reefs, the big ones could lie down, and the small ones were smaller than the one under his feet.
All right. He was exhausted, so he chose a large woodcutter and fell asleep on it.
Tired, Han Chong suffered a night.
I didn't think about it, no one found it that night.
Han Chong felt like he had been abandoned by the world.
"That's ...... Island?! ”
The early morning fog had cleared, and Han Chong found that the outline of an island had faintly appeared on the distant sea.
Due to the distance, Han Chong could only roughly see the outline of an island, but this also made him ecstatic, in this boundless sea. Seeing the land is just like seeing an oasis in the desert.
"Compressed biscuits, bread, gone?"
Han Chong emptied the pockets of his life jacket and found that there was no food in it except for seven or eight compressed biscuits in sealed packages and two fist-sized breads.
What's worse is that these two things need to be drunk when they are eaten, although Han Chong is now grumbling with hunger. Still stuffing these things back into his pocket, he would rather starve to death than be thirsty.
In addition, there was a small knife that Xu Guang stuffed to Han Chong, and the black blade emitted an inexplicable cold light, if it wasn't inserted in the foam inside the life jacket. Han Chong really didn't know how to carry this thing.
Standing on the reef, Han Chong observed the flow of the sea, and to his delight, the sea seemed to be flowing in the direction of the island. In this way, the chances of him being able to swim to the island will increase a lot.
I don't know why. Han Chong's ability to control water has always been simulated, so Han Chong is not sure if he can swim over without the help of nature.
As the saying goes, the mountain runs a dead horse, and the same is true in the sea, friends who have been on the sea ship will know that when the sea ship is about to dock, you can see the coastline from afar, but it often takes a long time to reach the place where you can see the eye.
But...... The island in the distance still gave Han Chong infinite hope in his heart.
"Damn, fight!"
Looking at the looming island in the distance, Han Chong gritted his teeth, there is no fresh water, staying on this reef will be a dead end sooner or later.
Originally, I hoped that the rescue team could find him, but it had been a day, not to mention the human figure, not even a single bird had been seen, it seemed that Han Chong was the only one left in the world, and that kind of loneliness made Han Chong really unbearable.
And now it is the time of the day when the sea tide rises, if you wait until the evening, the sea tide will fall, then even if Han Chong stays on the reef, it is very likely that he will be pulled to the bottom of the sea by that terrifying suction.
"Poof!"
Han Chong skillfully jumped into the water and swam in the direction of the island.
I didn't think about it, the resistance of this water is much smaller than yesterday, Han Chong's ability to control the water is not bad, and it is very light to swim, if you know the direction to go home, in the current state, Han Chong can really swim back.
But Han Chong didn't dare, who knew when the state was wrong.
", what kind of place is this?"
For fear of being attacked by sharks in the sea, Han Chong tried his best to control the current as he swam, and he found that in this sea area, the reefs he had just seen were just the tip of the iceberg.
Below the sea, there are countless semi-tidal reefs, just swimming hundreds of meters in the seawater, Han Chong has found no less than hundreds of reefs, if the sea water recedes, this place will definitely become a strange rocky tourist resort.
As for the mid-tide reef, it refers to the reef that is exposed to the sea at the halfway point of low tide, and the high tide is submerged, and it is now in the high tide period, so many reefs have not been able to come out of the water.
This kind of reef can be called a ship killer, and the half-tide reef hidden in the sea water has a strange shape, strange rocks, the big ones are dozens of square meters, and the small ones are about three or four meters.
The draft position of the half-tide reef is very shallow, if the ship really sails into this sea area, it will definitely hit the reef and sink, like a reef that Han Chong just swam over, the shape is long and pointed, like the crown on the rooster, only about one meter from the water surface, if the ship touches it, it seems to be inserted in a sharp big knife.
The range of Han Chong's water control is now about 500 meters, and when he was swimming, Han Chong also inspected the depth of this sea area, and at about sixty or seventy meters, he could see the riverbed.
However, compared to the riverbed covered with fine sand, the riverbed here is more colorful, with countless swimming fish swimming in it, and overgrown with colorful coral reefs, what makes Han Chong's eyes shine is that among those reefs and sand, there are many shipwrecks.
Some boats have their bows up, their hulls buried in the riverbed, while others lie flat on the riverbed, but on the sailboats, they are covered with seaweed and moss.
Some of the boats are no longer distinguishable, and they are connected to the reef, and countless swimming fish shuttle through them, and this has become their shelter.
The wreckage of these ships, most of which are wooden ships, must have been left over from the Age of Discovery in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in a variety of forms.
However, most of the shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea are wooden brigs, and the hull joints are made of wooden pegs, and Han Chong has not found a modern ironclad ship after looking at it for a long time.
On a large boat about thirty meters long, Han Chong clearly saw that the round holes in the body of the boat, which were originally used to extend the oars, were now turned into gates for sea creatures to enter and exit.
Moreover, in those wooden boats that had decayed, Han Chong could clearly sense the existence of some spiritual currents, and there were countless stars.
"Damn, I can't see it, it's so fucking breathless......"
Sensing the place where those strong and weak auras were, Han Chong's heart itched.
Needless to say, those things must be treasures of age, and it's no wonder that people always say that the ocean is the world's greatest treasure.
In order to set foot on land earlier, Han Chong kept swimming to the distant islands, these reefs had little impact on Han Chong, and he could occasionally stop to rest, but the worst thing was that there were a lot of marine life in this area, most of which were attached to the reefs.
More than half of the water-controlling aura that Han Chong scattered was injected into the bodies of these sea creatures.
A coral reef can raise four hundred species of fish, and Han Chong's aura attracted groups of colorful sea fish, and Han Chong couldn't name them, and there was even a large sea turtle with a diameter of about one meter.
The sea creatures that had absorbed the aura, as if they had been stimulated, emerged from the reef one after another and followed behind Han Chong.
After the initial surprise, Han Chong enjoyed the situation very much, you know, being alone in the sea, that kind of loneliness, it is difficult to describe in words.
Now that there are so many sea fish by his side, Han Chong's mood has changed a lot. (To be continued......)
