Chapter 3: Hope Returns

Chen Le was stunned to see this earth-shattering scene, and his body was so tense that he couldn't move.

My head went blank.

The waves rolled up by the tornado, tens of meters high, overwhelming the sea.

This scene looks far more shocking than when the ship was sunk.

Han Mengchen was even more frightened and cried loudly.

Huang Linlin was stunned, her mouth open, her eyes as silent and desperate.

In the face of such a terrifying force of nature, the four-person boat is as powerless as ants.

"Why are you stunned?"

Even Li Xin's face showed a hint of panic, but after reacting, he hurriedly shouted: "We must not be swept in, otherwise we will die!" ”

"Put on your life jacket and row fast!"

This sound pierced through the soul, and Chen Le, who was drinking, was shocked and woke up.

Without saying a word, he put on a life jacket and rowed according to his orders.

Han Mengchen trembled and helped.

Li Xin took out a rope and asked Huang Linlin, who was at a loss, to help her tie the four of them one by one, simulating what she did when climbing a mountain.

Then after being firmly entangled with another rope, it was firmly tied to the hull.

The four of them desperately tried to row the boat out of the tornado's path, but the curling ball was getting closer and closer.

Human strength alone cannot resist the terrifying wind and waves.

Soon, the entire boat was sucked into the whirlpool created by the tornado's sweeping seawater.

The world is spinning, and it feels like you're on a big turntable in the park.

Dizzy, my head is a mess, and I can't think at all.

"Ahh

Yang Mengchen and Huang Linlin let out frantic screams.

"Climb down, climb down!"

Li Xin's face was pale, and he made a decision immediately.

Everyone hurriedly withdrew the oars, and the whole person stuck to the bilge, holding the rope tightly.

Wow!

The boat flipped on its side into the water and spun wildly along the edge of the wheal.

Thanks to the weight of the four men and the boat itself, the wind on the periphery was not strong enough to toss them into the air.

But the suction power of the underwater whirlpool far exceeds the power of the wind.

Constantly tearing boats and people under the water, deeper and deeper.

Chen Le was poured into his ears and nose by the seawater, almost fainted, and his body was thrown out of the boat, swinging around like rags under the water.

It was as if it was going to be torn to pieces at any moment, and it was painful.

"Am I going to die......" Chen Le was in despair.

This long and persistent fear is undoubtedly the greatest destruction of hope.

In the face of the forces of nature, he could not even raise the thought of rebellion.

The lack of oxygen and the unbearable pressure of the water made his consciousness more and more blurred.

Memories flicker before your eyes.

survived the ravages of life and escaped shipwreck.

After all, they still have to be buried at the bottom of the sea and turned into fish food.

Isn't that a relief......

The stinging pain of seawater pouring into the ears and nose has long been numb.

The only thing left to do is to wait for death.

But at this moment, the rotation of the boat slowly stopped, and the strong buoyancy of the life jacket and the boat itself dragged the four people quickly towards the water.

For some reason, the storms on the sea gradually fell silent.

But the huge waves that have been set off have not stopped.

Wow!

Finally, Chen Le, who was about to fall into a coma, was put on the sea by a life jacket.

After instinctively taking a breath, before he could wake up, he was slapped into the water by the huge wave again, and this time he was completely unconscious.

The huge waves cascaded, pushing a boat of four people into the distance.

Ups and downs.

Fortunately, Li Xin had the foresight to tie the man and the ship together, and never dispersed......

I don't know how long it took to drift, but the waves gradually weakened, and the boat finally floated steadily on the sea.

The four were held in life jackets by the side of the boat, floating.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Chen Le's body moved, coughed out a few mouthfuls of seawater violently, and slowly opened his eyes.

Consciousness gradually recovered, but found that the three girls were no longer awake.

Ignoring the sharp pain like a knife cutting bones on his body, he desperately climbed onto the boat and dragged the three girls to the boat.

It didn't take long for the three to wake up one after another.

"Are we dead?" Han Mengchen asked stupidly.

"Survived......" Chen Le's voice was as hoarse as a broken gong.

Lying in the bilge, unable to move again.

"The supplies are lost..."

Li Xin looked at the bilge that had lost half of the door and said weakly.

Seawater desalters, buckets, and flame flares that were originally placed with life jackets.

It's gone.

In an instant, the emotions of anger, confusion, and panic swept over Chen Le again.

There is no aftermath, there is just endless fear.

Every material is used to save lives.

But I lost so much, how should I spend the rest of my life?

"I don't know how far we have been carried away by the wind and waves, which will greatly increase the difficulty of search and rescue......," Li Xin added.

There was silence on board, and panic spread.

Huang Linlin was paralyzed like mud and didn't say a word.

Han Mengchen could only choke up.

Chen Le was already exhausted, his eyelids were difficult to open, and the burning pain on his body made him not even want to move his fingers.

Fortunately, the food and water storage are placed in another cabin, and as long as there are no more wind and waves, it can last for a few days.

I don't know if Chen Le's prayer was fulfilled, and the storm never appeared again.

But the cloudless sky and the scorching sun scorched it, making the four of them feel like they were in a steamer.

Can only be soaked in water to cool down......

Two days, three days are set in stone.

The search and rescue team that was counted on did not appear, there were only schools of seagulls and small schools of fish.

No one knows where the tornado, which suddenly appeared and disappeared, took them.

There are no tools to get food from the sea.

Relying only on dry food, in order to maintain their energy, the four of them had to rely on the sweat oozing from their bodies to obtain salt.

No one spoke, not even a single sound.

This inorganic silence gives people a sense of fear that is even greater than that of the storm.

Five-day ......

Seven-day ......

Drift.

The food on board was completely depleted.

The rescue that the four people had been waiting for still did not appear.

Yang Mengchen couldn't bear the hunger and thirst at first, and even wanted to drink seawater.

In order to prevent her from committing suicide, Chen Le, at the behest of Li Xin, knocked her unconscious with an oar.

Huang Linlin's condition was not much better, and her spirit seemed to be a little out of order, and she began to tear her clothes and hair.

Even Li Xin began to lose his luster and his eyes were dilated.

No one believed that there would be any miracles.

It didn't take long for Chen Le to also begin to hallucinate, and more than once thought about jumping into the sea to end the painful torture.

Fortunately, when the night came, the cooling slowly calmed him down.

Dawn has now become a fearful existence for all.

But the moon sets and the sun rises, and nothing can stop it.

When the sun shines into the dinghy again.

Chen Lemiao was in a daze and suddenly heard Li Xin's weak call: "Wake up, there is an island ...... there"

This voice woke up Chen Le like thunder.

He climbed onto the edge of the boat with all his strength and looked towards the place Li Xin pointed.

The sun rose from a black spot, obscured by a small half.

"It's an island, it's really an island ......"

Han Mengchen's voice looked a little crazy.

An unprecedented emotion rose from Chen Le's almost exhausted heart.

At this moment, he burst into tears, wetting his chapped cheeks.

Hope has finally come again.
