Chapter 930: Ghost Island
A figure walked over slowly, stared at Xiao Yuanchao who was lying there for a long time, and after flipping his body over, he took his arms and slowly dragged him away.
This is an isolated island with extremely sparse vegetation, and the reason why it is called an isolated island is because it is a small island that is very lonely and there are no extra islands. The whole thing is only such a small piece, except for a mountain in the middle. It's only about a thousand square meters, very small, and very inconspicuous in the Pacific Ocean.
A stream of cool water dripped into Xiao Yuanchao's mouth, stimulating him and making him slowly open his eyes.
In front of him was a familiar cheek, and he even said that the moment he saw this cheek, he thought he was saved. Xing Zhengrong, when he opened his eyes, he saw that the person was Xing Zhengrong.
"Where?" Xiao Yuanchao asked as he moved his lips.
"The world." Xing Zhengrong replied, sat laboriously on the ground, stared at Xiao Yuanchao and asked, "Why did you end up here?" ”
Wandering?
Xiao Yuanchao saw that Xing Zhengrong was in tatters all over his body, with injuries everywhere, and his whole body was extremely haggard. Look around, all the bare rocks, and the occasional vegetation is also the kind of sparse weeds, barren and terrible.
"When I went back, I was attacked by a U.S. warship, but luckily I was alive and floated to this small island. What's going on with you? Won't it also be attacked by U.S. warships? Xing Zhengrong asked.
Hearing this question, Xiao Yuanchao nodded with a wry smile and said: "A little stronger than you, you were attacked by a US warship, and I was attacked by a US armed helicopter, cough cough ......."
Xiao Yuanchao coughed violently, lying heavily on his back on the ground, panting heavily with his eyes closed.
"So coincidentally?" Xing Zhengrong smiled.
Coincidentally, very coincidentally. When the warship fired a torpedo at the yacht to bomb it, Xing Zhengrong was thrown into the sea, and then floated to the island with a wooden plank. He thought that he could only be alone, but he didn't expect that after staying for a few days, he had another companion, and this companion turned out to be Xiao Yuanchao, which was really unexpected.
"I don't want to be so coincidental." Xiao Yuanchao smiled bitterly.
"It's a good thing it's such a coincidence, otherwise I would have been so lonely." Xing Zhengrong grinned, grabbed a handful of small crabs and handed them to Xiao Yuanchao: "Eat something, only after eating something can you have strength and hope to live." ”
There is no food on the island, and the only thing it has is a variety of crabs and shellfish on the beach. It's an isolated island, but it's a desert island, and no one knows what it's called, let alone where it is located in the Pacific Ocean.
Xiao Yuanchao did not refuse, took those little crabs and put them in his mouth and chewed them. The taste turned out to be good, it turned out to be roasted. Although there is no oil, it has a salty taste and tastes delicious.
A handful of crabs were eaten cleanly, and Xiao Yuanchao's strength was also restored. He slowly stood up and looked at the deserted island.
There were rocks everywhere, overgrown with weeds, and those rocks were covered with moss, and the entire island was covered with a large number of dried marine plankton. There are lots of shellfish, even dried corals, starfish, and so on.
"It's a ghost island." Xing Zhengrong picked up the dried shellfish on the surface of the rock and crushed them at any time, and said to Xiao Yuanchao: "For a period of time, it will be at the bottom of the sea, and for a period of time, it will become land. These dried sea creatures can illustrate that the islands are not fixed and are not marked on the map. This means that the island is out of any shipping lanes and no one will come. ”
Ghost Island is not because there are ghosts on the island, but because the island is weird. Generally speaking, the kind of islands that appear for decades and then disappear for decades are collectively referred to as ghost islands. Whether this is due to island activity or rising sea levels is uncertain. In short, it is not fixed, it disappears without a trace with the cycle of being submerged by the sea.
"Hit the jackpot!" Xiao Yuanchao said with a smile.
"That's right, hit the jackpot. With little to no fresh water, a lack of food, and sparse vegetation, it's a great place for a relaxing getaway. Xing Zhengrong quipped: "If you can't get in or out, we can retire here, haha." ”
It's true that you can't get out, there is nothing on the island that can be used, not even a single tree. The absence of trees meant that there was no means that there was even a raft to be built, so you had to be stranded on the island, waiting for a boat to arrive. Unfortunately, the chances of this are slim, and if there are no accidents, they will stay here forever, or wait until the island suddenly sinks one day.
And the fresh water for Xiao Yuanchao to drink is the rainwater collected by Xing Zhengrong from all over the island. Very little, after using up, you can only wait for the rain to collect it. All in all, being on such an island means that they are dead.
"How long have we been fighting?" Xing Zhengrong asked suddenly.
"It's been almost twenty years." Xiao Yuanchao replied.
If you think about it, it's been almost twenty years. Since childhood, the two of them have been fighting, and they have been fighting until they are big, and they have not stopped fighting until now.
"Don't you think this is God giving the two of us a chance to keep us on Ghost Island and let us solve the problems that have not been solved?" Xing Zhengrong stared at Xiao Yuanchao's eyes and said, "I have already walked around the island and found that the fresh water here, as well as the food that can be produced every day, is only enough for one person. The only place where you are found is a sandy beach, and only such a small stretch of beach has small crabs, which is the only food. And there are very few fresh water reserves, and according to my observations, it is really not so easy to get a rain here. ”
After speaking, Xing Zhengrong picked out a broken stone under the rock and threw it to Xiao Yuanchao.
It is a stone with dry soil, charred and scorched. This means that the island is thirsty, and if it rains a lot, the stones that are half buried in the soil will never look so dry.
They have all experienced the cruel test of survival, and when Xing Zhengrong said that the food produced every day and the remaining fresh water are only enough for one person, then it is only enough for one person. This means that there can be no equal division, and once it is divided, both of them have to die, which means that only one of the two of them can live.
Sure enough, it was God's good deed to settle the feud between them, and the two of them were still on this island, so that they could fight for the only fresh water and the little food they had every day.
"Maybe that's really the case." Xiao Yuanchao glanced at Xing Zhengrong and said with a smile: "Xing Zhengrong, why does your mouth have to be so hard all the time?" If I'm not mistaken, those crabs you gave me will make you hungry for a day. ”
"That's for fairness!" Xing Zhengrong stared at Xiao Yuanchao.
Fair? Xiao Yuanchao shook his head and slowly walked towards the hill in the middle of the island, he didn't like to let this become a duel between two people.
