Chapter 8: The Island

This is an isolated island in the depths of the South Pacific, surrounded by the ocean on all sides, endless, choppy, as Dad said, don't think about going out when you come here, running away is tantamount to suicide, even if you are given a boat, you can't go, because you don't know which side is the land, let alone how far the land is, and you don't even know the southeast and northwest, so the person who escapes has only one result, which is to die in the sea.

I set off with my dad in the morning, and I flew by helicopter for three hours, and I don't know how far I flew, because when I got to the ocean, there was an endless water surface all around, and everywhere was the same, and there was no direction for a long time.

Towards noon, we finally arrived at our destination, which was the isolated island in front of us.

The plane landed in an empty field by the sea, and my dad pulled me to jump off the plane, and then my father gave me a thumbs up and shook at the pilot, and the pilot made an OK gesture, and then the helicopter rose from the ground and left the island in a roar and smoke.

Standing on the beach, I looked around, the scale of this place is not small, with the Pacific Ocean in the back, and in front of it is a cliff more than 30 meters high, and the left and right sides are full of sand, extending along the edge of the island into the distance, because the island is in a ring, the line of sight is blocked, so you can't see the edge.

Behind the cliff is the depths of the island, and I can't see the whole picture from my position, but I can also see that there is a lush primeval forest behind it, and the air is not only the smell of the ocean but also the freshness of the grass and trees, which is a good place for the time being.

"Daddy, where are we going?" I looked left and right with interest.

"Go to the island!" Daddy pointed to the cliff dozens of meters high in front of him.

"On the island? How? You're not going to climb up a cliff, are you? I grew my mouth in surprise and glanced at the almost right-angled slope, don't be kidding, is this what a person can go up to, it's strange if you don't fall to your death.

"You think, there's no second way here." Daddy gave me a blank look and then pulled me forward.

"Are you sure it's not a joke? It's so high, what should I do if I fall to my death? "I withdrew my hand, and died here like this, how aggrieved, but unfortunately my little arm was under the big hands of my father's iron pincers, and I had no power to resist.

"I told you a long time ago that if you want to live here, you can only rely on yourself, if you have the ability, you will live, and if you don't have the ability, you will die, and no one will look at you more." As he spoke, Daddy pulled me on.

"But I've just arrived here, and I haven't ...... yet" I was halfway through my words, when I heard a loud bang, and the ground in front of me suddenly exploded, and the flames rushed to the sky, and a wave of air rushed to my face, if it wasn't for my father dragging me to death, I would have been swept up by the air wave a long time ago.

Before I could react, "Boom! Rumble! Boom ......" explosions rang in my ears, and the sky exploded all around, the eardrums buzzed with a loud sound, and the soft sand on the beach was blown away, and it scattered almost me alive.

The air was shaking, the earth was shaking, I was like a leaf in the wind, struggling in the storm, crumbling, and at this time, I was horrified to find that my father, who had been holding on to me, was gone, I don't know whether he was blown up or buried alive, in short, in the thick smoke of gunpowder, only I was left.

Loneliness, helplessness, instantly enveloped me, I didn't know what to do, I could only lie on the beach, my hands covering my ears desperately, the scattered mud and sand smashed on my body and I didn't feel any pain at all, compared to death, those pains were not worth mentioning.

The explosion kept going around, and the explosion was so close to me, it felt like someone was blasting me on the head with a cannon, and I screamed and shouted, expecting my dad to come and save me, but all the sound was drowned out in the violent explosion.

How could I have experienced such a cruel scene at the age of ten, even if I had been prepared for suffering, I could not have accepted such a horrific situation.

I lay on the beach, burying my head in the sand, and every explosion was accompanied by a violent tremor of my body, and I could only do nothing but keep muttering in my heart: "I can't be blown up, I can't be blown up, I can't be blown up......"

It was the only way I could think of to comfort myself, and I couldn't do anything other than that.

Run away? That's impossible, my legs are as weak as a puddle of mud, I can't even stand up, let alone run, and I wasn't scared to pee my pants, which is already amazing.

I don't know how long it took, but it felt like a year, and the explosions finally stopped, but the roar in my ears continued, and it took a long time for my hearing to gradually regain my hearing.

When I pulled my head out of the sand, I saw three people standing in front of me in a daze, I shook my head, the sand on my head fell down, I opened my mouth and spit out a mouthful of sand, raised my hand to wipe my eyes, and then I saw the three people in front of me clearly.

Standing on the far left was the newly disappeared father, in the middle was an extremely burly black man, two meters tall, in my eyes he was a living black bear, the muscles of his body bulged high like a small mountain bag, his skin was dark and shiny, his white teeth were shining cold, he was wearing a camouflage vest and trousers, a pistol was inserted in a gun bag tied to his thigh, and he was standing there with his hands on his shoulders, his cold eyes were staring at me.

Standing on the right is a blonde woman, who looks very young, at most twenty years old, about one meter seven tall, white skin, blue eyes, very beautiful, wearing a small army green vest, revealing a slender waist, and the eye-catching six-pack abs, underneath is a pair of camouflage shorts, a pair of black military boots on her feet, and a leather bag with a red cross printed on it, if I guessed correctly, she should be a doctor.

"This kid's performance is okay!" Daddy asked the black man with his hands in his pockets.

"Average, I didn't cry, I barely passed." The black man snorted and made an assessment of me.

Hearing his words, I was secretly glad in my heart, what didn't cry nose, I was simply scared stupid, forgot to cry, I didn't know the pain when the stone was smashed on my body, everyone was blinded, who could still think of crying.

"Hey, boy, if you're not dead, stand up for Lao Tzu and lie there like a turtle to do something!" The black man yelled at me with a glare.

His voice was so loud that I was scared, and I hurriedly supported my body and tried to get up, but my legs were weak and I couldn't use any strength, but fortunately, the female doctor next to me stepped forward and pulled me.

She squatted down and asked me to hold her shoulders, and then checked my legs, and after making sure that they were not injured, her hands kneaded my legs a few times, her hands were very strong, and after a few strokes, I felt my muscles heat up slightly, and I immediately felt a lot more comfortable and regained a trace of consciousness.

"Do it yourself, try it!" The doctor smiled and told me that her voice was nice and her smile was beautiful, and although she spoke a little lame in Chinese, I could still understand it.

I moved my ankles, took a few steps back and forth, and then looked up and smiled, "I'm fine, sister, you're amazing!" ”

"You're good, too!" She gave me an encouraging look, then nodded at the black man and turned to leave.

I thought I would see her again soon, but it was very soon, but I saw another her, a more terrifying black beast than the black beast in front of me.
