Volume 1 Chapter 1 Lost on a Desert Island

Next Chapter

My name is Wu Yuan, a native of the countryside, I will be 26 years old in two months, and I look like Pan An!

I am currently working in a factory to receive customers, and although it looks easy on the surface, it is very stressful and I have a long working day every day.

However, recently, my department has won a lot of orders for the company, and I have struggled to receive an unprecedented large order.

The boss is not bad, and in order to thank us for the achievements we have made for the company, it was decided to let the employees of the department take a collective paid vacation for a week.

Hahahaha...... this news is so wonderful for me!

It's been a long time since I've had a break, and I've had to sleep at home for most of the weekends and days off, so I was able to get a good rest for a few days.

The thought of the high commissions and vacations that I can get next month is exciting, and it has reached the point where I can't sleep well at night.

You must know that the commission of this order is already worth two months' salary, so I decided to add more than ten days of my annual leave to the week of vacation, and take my girlfriend out for a good time in the past 20 days.

It's been months since we've really hung out, and I feel guilty when I think about it.

Of course, she has been idle every day as an unemployed vagrant recently, and when she heard the news, she naturally raised her hands in approval.

At first, we wanted to visit some places in the country, but after much consideration and discussion, we finally settled on the Maldives, one of the most interesting island destinations in the summer!

Fortunately, I went abroad once last year and went to the country next door, otherwise the holiday would have passed by the time the visa was issued!

......

At the beginning of August 2018, we set off as scheduled, and we originally planned to fly back and forth, but my girlfriend felt that she had never been on a big ship before, and she really wanted to have the experience of going to sea by boat.

Thinking that there was enough time, I agreed, and chose a medium-sized cruise ship for the return trip, and the number of seats should be around 500 people.

When there are more people, going out is like this, everyone's opinions are inconsistent, and there are often repeated changes that make it a headache!

In fact, I also want to take a big boat in my heart, so it can be regarded as taking advantage of the trend, and there may be some small ideas in this regard for inland people!

The journey went smoothly, and it was only a minor problem to encounter a little turbulence on the way, and the scenery on the island was really beautiful, and the photos had almost filled up the space in the phone.

The only thing that is not very friendly is that this season is not very friendly, the hot summer itself is not suitable for travel, go out and be sunburned like a black person, we all feel that each other is dark several degrees after going to the island for a few days.

At the same time, there is also the problem of too hot, and most of the time before and after noon, except for the occasional splash in the water, you can only stay in the hotel to rest.

Although the temperature is too high to make the experience less comfortable, the scenery on the island is really worthy of praise, and the blue sea and blue sky are refreshing!

After a week of playing, although there was a little reluctance, time did not allow us to stay, and we boarded the boat smoothly and prepared to return.

On the boat, while blowing the sea breeze, while feeling the vastness of the sea, and drinking a frozen drink, the life is not comfortable......

It's just that the good times are always short-lived, and it's time to go back to living a hectic and busy life, although busy but fulfilling.

However, life is always full of accidents, and this accident made all this come to naught.

On the way back, a disaster that surprised everyone was and the beginning of my nightmare!

......

At about two o'clock in the morning, the steamer had an accident and caught fire for unknown reasons!

Since most of us are asleep at this time, we even slept deeply because we played late during the day, and missed the best time to escape.

By the time we were woken up by the horns and noises of the ship, we didn't know how much later than the others, but by the time we hurriedly escaped from the cabin, most of us had grabbed the lifeboats and escaped from the increasingly burning hull!

At this time, there are not many people waiting for rescue on the ship, it is estimated that there are less than 100 people left, and seeing that the fire on the ship is getting bigger and bigger, the situation is very critical, leaving the sinking ship is the only option.

So we could only hurriedly jump into the icy sea water with two lifebuoys like everyone else, waiting for the follow-up rescue of the national forces.

This practice is very dangerous, there is an 80% chance of dying due to hypothermia and coma after too long, but staying on the ship can only wait for death, when the ship sinks, a huge whirlpool will be generated, and people will be pulled to the bottom of the sea 100% nearby!

What happened to us is already miserable, but there are even worse!

A short time after we went to sea, a big wave hit us, and we were washed away, although there was still residual warmth on our hands, but we were gone!

At this time, my heart was full of helplessness and powerlessness, but when my eyes could not see, I could only swim aimlessly and shout desperately like a headless fly.

Unfortunately, these actions were ultimately futile!!

Little by little, time passes......

There is no trace of her anymore, and the separation of the vast sea may be goodbye, let alone being in the sea in the dark night.

I now regret that if we hadn't gone to bed so late, we would have been woken up at the beginning of the fire, so that with our young bodies, we could at least squeeze into the lifeboat.

I even regretted why I took a boat and traveled abroad, and my heart was full of self-blame.

The experience of a night and the hesitation of losing the trace of a lover, coupled with the uncertainty of whether he can survive, all kinds of exhaustion and the cold and biting sea water began to make people feel uncomfortable, and after an hour or two, he gradually lost consciousness!

Seeing this situation, I was secretly anxious, but there was no way to change it, and only in this kind of scene can I deeply appreciate the insignificance of man compared to nature!

......

I don't know how long it has been, but the moment I passed out, I thought I was finished, and normal people would have the same thoughts at that time.

But surprisingly, I regained consciousness again, but I was not surprised after I came back to life, and there was only confusion in my eyes......

The location I'm on now is a beach, it's not the same as I expected, I'm still alive.

At this time, the swimming ring was still under my armpit, but there was no one around me, and the dazed and helpless filled my mind again, that is, there was no surprise of resurrection!

I don't know what happened to my girlfriend, maybe I was saved, maybe I ......

Thinking of the current result, and then thinking of the past and the future, tears flowed out of the frame of my eyes for a moment!

A few minutes later, while I was still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate myself, my body interrupted my sadness, and now I felt very uncomfortable in my stomach.

I don't know how much seawater has been poured into the sea, although God has opened his eyes and saved his life for the time being, but I don't know if the seawater in my belly will take back my life!

At the same time, an unknown island is not very acceptable to me, I have the impression that the island is full of all kinds of dangers, and if there are poisonous snakes, insects or ferocious beasts, I can only die.

Although the encounter is very miserable, but now there is no right to think too much, the top priority is to let yourself live here, only by living can you go back!

Looking at the position of the sun in the sky, I estimated that it should be about ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was extremely fierce, and the whole person was hot.

I first found a shady place to calm down and tidy up all my belongings.

Fortunately, I didn't give up my backpack in the end, which contained: a loaf of bread and a carton of milk, two sets of clothes to change of, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes that I opened and soaked, and a notebook.

My shoes were thrown off when I swam in the sea, and my wallet and mobile phone were kept in my trouser pockets, and I didn't know where they fell when I struggled in the water.

If it's still there, with the waterproof performance of a flagship phone, as long as you get through the phone and set the location, there is still hope of being rescued, and now I regret it even more!

After a simple tidying up and recovery, my mind stabilized a little, but after calming down, I felt that my stomach was even more uncomfortable than before, and my mouth was very thirsty.

No wonder science has proved that drinking seawater will increase the salt in the body, not only can not quench thirst, but also the more you drink, the thirstier you become, and at the same time, there is a risk of poisoning......

I want to keep the only carton of milk for now, and then save it when I really can't help it!

You can only look around the neighborhood to see if there is any rain and no dry freshwater puddles.

When I looked around and looked at the overall environment of the island, I noticed the presence of coconut trees not far away, which was good news.

There are a lot of coconuts under the trees that are ripe or blown down by the wind, which solves my urgent need.

Some of them have been bitten open, and in my previous experience watching survival TV shows should be a good thing for coconut crabs, which was the first species found to exist on the island, but in my favor.

I picked a few good coconuts and smashed them with sharp stones, the process was very rough and savage, but I finally drank the first sip of fresh water, and it was still a delicious juice!

Opening coconuts without tools is a very laborious task, and the other half is wasted after smashing a few coconuts and sweating profusely.

A few large mouthfuls of coconut water diluted the seawater, and the uncomfortable feeling in the stomach was temporarily relieved.

Now I am very confused, I don't know what to do next, I don't have any confidence to survive on an unknown desert island without all the tools of modern times, and I even have the urge to jump into the sea and drown myself......

Of course, this kind of thought is just a thought, but after much thought, I decided to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain as a campsite, at least not to rest alone in the open air on an island where I don't know anything at night, the danger is quite terrifying, and there is no sense of security at all.

The wet clothes on my body dried automatically a few hours after I came ashore, and the salt stains left on my body were very uncomfortable, and my feet wearing only socks needed to be protected.
