Chapter 877: Hunting in the Water (I)
The sky was bright, Ye Xiao and Luo Hao changed into diving suits, carried tactical backpacks behind them, hung closed-circuit diving devices on their chests, and climbed down the rope ladder to lean against the rubber motorboat next to the freighter.
There is fog floating on the sea, the fog is not very thick, but the visibility is very low, the visibility of the field of vision is about 100 meters, and it is basically impossible to see 100 meters away. Fog at sea has a greater impact on visibility than on land.
"Whoa! Crash! Crash! Crash! ”
Tang Feng drove the rubber jet ski into the fog, the rubber motor boat was beating on the sea, the sound of the waves was endless, and the splashed sea water fell on the part that was not covered by the diving suit, and the feeling of coldness could still be clearly felt.
The motorboat came to a halt about half a nautical mile from the island where the test site was located.
As the sun gradually rises above sea level, the fog on the sea surface gradually disperses, and the temperature begins to rise.
At noon, the sun overhead made people doubt life.
The black rubber motorboat was hot, and Ye Xiao was absolutely sure that if he knocked an egg on it at this time, he would soon be able to get a fried egg.
"Dragon, how long are we going to wait here?" Tang Feng asked Ye Xiao with a wail.
"Wait until the helicopter that drops supplies to the test base appears." Ye Xiao replied.
"I'm going to get sunburned!!"
Tang Feng sprayed some water on his face with a sports kettle, and Tang Feng also felt the coolness because of this, but the coolness on his face quickly disappeared due to the evaporation of water droplets.
"Dragon, it's not a way to go on like this." Luo Hao said to Ye Xiao, "We are so exposed to the scorching sun, it is also a drain on our physical strength, even if we wait for the helicopter to appear, we may not be able to carry out the next combat operations due to physical strength." ”
"What do you think?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Let's go to the island."
Luo Hao pointed to the island in front of him and said: "Although it is a subtropical rainforest, but the last time I landed on the island, I observed that there are water sources and wild fruits, and there are countless snakes, grasshoppers, and insects, which can be used as food supplements for us."
We sat in this rubber boat and were only supported by the fresh water and compressed dry food we carried. Of course, we can return to the freighter for resupply, but no one knows when the helicopter will appear, and every time we return to the freighter, it is a gamble of luck, and we are likely to miss the helicopter because of this. ”
"Landing on the island!"
After thinking for a short time, Ye Xiao immediately made a decision.
Although the temperature is also high in the subtropical rainforest of the island, at least it is sheltered by dense vegetation from the sun, and you can even use the vegetation on the island to build a grass shelter that can protect you from the wind and rain.
If you were three people who had no experience of survival in the wild, they might be panicked, they might be at a loss, they might be thinking about lighting a fire, and then praying that a passing ship would see their distress signal.
But for Ye Xiao, Luo Hao, and Tang Feng, the three old birds who can regard survival in the wild as a "vacation" and "enjoyment", there is no panic at all.
When he first arrived on the island, a colorful poisonous spider was selling its long fluffy legs, crawling along the branches towards Tang Feng, wanting to "say hello" to him.
But before the poisonous spider could show its fangs, it was cut in half by Tang Feng with a knife and fell to the ground.
After choosing a location on the shore, Tang Feng stayed behind to build a shack, while Ye Xiao and Luo Hao went deep into the rainforest in search of food and drinking water.
The water is rainwater stored in the vines, which can be drunk without any filtration, and has a sweet taste with a hint of plant freshness, which is better than those of the big names of mineral water.
The food is very diverse, with wild fruits, grasshoppers the size of little fingers, roots and stems of plants, and snakes that most people find creepy.
At the side of the fire, Luo Hao quickly peeled off the colorful snake skin of a poisonous snake, and then used a knife to remove all the parasites and parasite eggs on the snake meat, and then cut the snake apart and roasted it on the fire.
When the snake meat is roasted to golden brown, sprinkle a layer of fine salt on top, and the taste is definitely no worse than the snake feast in some hotel restaurants!
There was food and drink, and the days on the island were not difficult, the only thing that was a little annoying was the mosquitoes that couldn't be chased away at night.
The three of them waited on the island for five days before the damn helicopter finally appeared at sea level.
Seeing that the helicopter was rapidly approaching the island, the three people on the island jumped directly from the trunk of the tree they were sitting on, as if they had been beaten with adrenaline.
"Let's go into the water!"
Ye Xiao put on diving goggles, put on a tactical backpack, hung up closed-circuit diving equipment, and slowly walked into the sea with Luo Hao.
Because of the use of closed-circuit diving equipment, Ye Xiao and Luo Hao did not leave trace bubbles when they dived, which covered up their traces well.
Ye Xiao and Luo Hao lurked behind a coral near the alloy fence gate in the test base.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the two men had taken cover, one after the other square metal boxes smashed into the sea and quickly sank downward.
When the square metal box sank for about ten or twenty meters, the buoyancy ball at the top of the metal box opened and pulled the square metal box that had sunk upward.
When one of the metal boxes was pulled up by the buoyancy ball, the rope connecting the buoyancy ball and the metal box became entangled with a nearby coral.
Two ropes were wrapped around the coral, causing the metal box to be hooked.
Although all of these square metal boxes were dropped by helicopters near the island, they were not delivered accurately, and the metal boxes flipped after entering the water, the rope connecting the buoyancy ball to the box became entangled, and even the box was lost because the buoyancy ball did not open properly.
And this metal box was entangled with coral, which was really an unexpected surprise for Ye Xiao and Luo Hao, and gave them unexpected help.
This time, even God is on his side!
Ye Xiao pointed towards the metal box, and then swam in the direction of the metal box.
When the water ghosts in the test base came to untie the entangled rope and recover the metal box, it was the best time for Ye Xiao and Luo Hao to do it.
The alloy fence door of the test base slowly rose upward, and the water spirits responsible for retrieving the metal boxes swam out of the test base.
