A few hours passed silently.

The sun slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The night crept in, and a black curtain covered the entire sea level.

Liu Hong, who was carrying a lighter, lit all the kerosene lamps hanging in the wooden boat.

The dim light enveloped the entire wooden ship, and above the vast and endless sea, it became more and more insignificant.

I sighed.

This ship is really a few years old.

I stood at the bow of the ship and watched for a long time, and finally walked into the cockpit.

glanced at Wang Yi, who was also a little tired.

"Well, how long will it be before we get to that island? I remember looking at the map, it doesn't seem to be that far, huh? "It stands to reason that it's almost there, right?

I thought to myself.

Wang Yi listened to my words, but frowned: "I don't know, I checked the compass here, the direction should be fine, and the ship has been advancing, but ......"

"But what?" I felt that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

"I just feel like our ship is going in circles around something, and it's ......," Wang Yi said, but he was suddenly silenced.

"And what, say it quickly!" I was in a hurry, and my voice rose a few degrees.

Wang Yi looked around and saw that no one was coming, so he looked at me with a serious expression.

"And according to the map and what was left on board, we should have reached our destination by now. Our boat was near the point indicated on the map, but I saw nothing. Wang Yi said, his face became more and more ugly, and he who had always been calm actually shuddered, and then stopped talking.

"What, we're near our destination? How is this possible? I said this, but I felt creepy.

After a few seconds of silence, I suddenly looked at him: "You wait, I'll ask Qiqi." ”

As I spoke, I didn't wait for him to answer, and ran out directly.

I had just run out a few meters when I saw Zhao Qiqi walking in my direction.

"Seventy-seven, seven-seven! We ...... "I was about to say something, but ......

There was a loud bang.

A flash of red lightning streaked across the sky, followed by several muffled thunderbolts.

The thunder was deafening, as if it were ringing in the ears.

Everyone else was taken aback by the sudden movement.

By the time they came up from the second deck, a hurricane had already blown on the sea.

The hull of the ship began to shake violently.

Wang Yi quickly ran out of the cockpit, he looked at everything in front of him, and immediately shouted at the others.

"Quick, put away the sails! Otherwise, the boat will capsize! ”

Reminded by Wang Yi's words, the others reacted, Du Deming and Liu Hong hurriedly staggered to the mast, and several people worked together to put away the sails.

However, before the others could put away the sails, the next second, something even more terrifying happened.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering loud bang, and a bolt of lightning struck directly on the mast.

With a bang, the mast was ignited in an instant.

Yes, the mast burned.

The fire was almost exaggeratedly rapid, the sails were burning almost instantly, and the fire spread rapidly.

"Run!! Looking at Du Deming and Zhang Qiang, who were under the mast, I shouted loudly.

The others immediately ran away into the distance.

A few seconds later, only a loud bang was heard, and the mast fell directly.

The fire suddenly rushed to the deck.

"Gao Wei, what should we do, if we continue like this, we will all be burned to death!"

The fire spread so fast that a group of us were frozen in place, Zhang Qiang looked at me and shouted in despair.

"What to do, what to do?" I also looked around in a bit of a panic, and suddenly, a ridiculous idea came to me.

I looked at the crowd crying or bewildered, clenched my fists, and made up my mind.

"Qiangzi, if you have your luggage, hurry up and take your luggage, and after packing your things, let's jump into the sea!" I spoke so loudly that everyone else could hear me.

"Hey, you kid can't be crazy, are you? Jumping into the sea? Isn't that looking for death? Liu Hong looked at me like a madman and said.

The wind from the sea blew fiercely across the faces of the people, and the fire became more violent.

I looked at the point where we were standing, but my expression was more determined than ever.

"Do you think under normal circumstances, the fire would go so fast? Don't you feel like there's something wrong with that? I looked straight at him.

Liu Hong's eyes jumped a few times, and he suddenly understood what I meant.

"You mean ......"

I interrupted him abruptly.

"Don't say it, I remember that there should be life jackets under the seats on the second deck where you just rested, everyone hurry up and take your luggage, put on life jackets, let's abandon the ship quickly!! Fast!! I let out a low sigh, and the others finally came to their senses.

Everyone stepped on each other in a panic and quickly returned to the second deck.

In less than two minutes, everyone had already taken their luggage, and regardless of whether the life jacket was worn standard or not, it was finally put on.

By this time, the fire had consumed about two-thirds of the entire hull.

Our group stood at the stern of the boat.

I looked at them with a serious expression.

"Ready? According to what Wang Yi said, we are currently near the small island shown on the map, and now we are jumping into the sea in turn, remember that the life jacket must be worn, do you hear clearly? I said quickly with a serious expression.

The others knew it wasn't a joke and nodded their heads.

And then we didn't delay any longer.

First, Wang Liping, Luo Hongjie, Tian Xiaofei, Zhang Jingjing, and Zhao Qiqi jumped into the sea.

Then, Liu Hong, Xiang Wen, Shen Mo, Song Donghui, Li Maocai, Xu Guigui and the people in the program team also jumped.

There were only me, Zhang Qiang, Wang Yi and Du Deming left on the boat.

I looked at them with complicated eyes.

"Brothers, you must live!"

A few people looked at me, nodded, and jumped off.

I turned my head to look at the wooden boat, which had been engulfed in flames, sighed, turned around, and quickly jumped into the water.

With the muffled sound of a heavy object falling into the water, I only felt that my whole body was instantly surrounded by seawater, floating and sinking under the influence of buoyancy.

Looking ahead, Wang Yi and Zhang Qiang were in front of me not far away.

I took a deep breath and paddled my body with my hands and feet, trying to distance myself from the boat.

However, after swimming about seven or eight meters, I suddenly felt that something was not right.

I looked down and felt cold.

Oh my God, the inflated life jacket started to leak at some point.

There was a chuckle in my heart, and before I could react, I felt my body sink downward.

In the next second, the salty sea water had already submerged my body.
