Chapter 244: Land, Land
Rain, the same rain as beans, countless rains, dense, countless, the sky is like splashing water, wave after wave of swept in.
It seems that two weak humans will be buried at the bottom of the sea.
Heavy rain kept falling, lightning and thunder, and the wind howled.
It's like the end of the world.
Li Chaoyang's strength was also exhausted, and he was still rowing forward mechanically.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the whole world is boundless and sleepless except rain and rain.
The two people on the life raft stopped talking, like beasts waiting for death to come, all methods were exhausted, there was no way to avoid it, there was no way to retreat, and it could only be invaded by the torrential rain.
A big wave came, the life raft was overturned, Li Chaoyang and Mia fell into the icy water, the bottom of the sea was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, and invisible fear came out of the darkness.
The stimulation of the sea water was like a bolt of lightning, which made Li Chaoyang's somewhat groggy head a little clearer, and he quickly floated desperately from the water, grabbed the handrail of the lifeboat, and lay on the lifeboat panting weakly.
Mia also surfaced, she pulled the lifeboat and looked at Li Chaoyang, her face full of exhaustion.
"If that woman comes with you, I'll probably be feeding the fish by now." Mia's voice was low, as if she had been hit by a huge blow, and several aluminum kettles floated up from her side, and she reached out and grabbed them, unscrewed one and poured a large mouthful into her mouth. "Here, take a sip."
Li Chaoyang took it and took a sip, but this time it was not red wine, but rum, and the entrance was hot, and the burning sensation quickly spread from his mouth to his brain.
Drinking alcohol at this time is dangerous, but they need to be hydrated when they are thirsty, and they need something to stimulate their brains.
"I didn't expect you to be scared sometimes." Li Chaoyang said with a smile.
"I'm also a human being, I'm also afraid, what I'm most afraid of is death, I can't die yet, I still have a lot of things to do, I want to live in a big city, I want to live like an ordinary woman, I have already thought about it, and when I go back this time, I will go to Madagascar to settle down."
Mia wrapped the flask around her arm to increase buoyancy, and struggled to climb onto the lifeboat, lying on the bottom of the black rubber boat of the lifeboat.
"Why Madagascar?" Li Chaoyang couldn't help but ask.
"Because it's the world's famous free port, of course, it's the equivalent of us, you only need to spend a little money to get permanent residency, this place is located on the east coast of Africa, it's an independent island, completely separated from the land country, you don't have to worry about other countries invading it, in fact, no one will invade here, because it's important to everyone, the white people who buy and sell diamonds and jewelry, the Indians who transit tea, coffee and cocoa, and the black warlords who trade in weapons, the killers who find out the news, fugitive mercenaries who are wanted to abscond, there are all kinds of people here, everyone can get the information they want here, Somali pirates have a liaison office here, if someone from that country is unfortunately kidnapped by them, or if they need to dredge up relations, they have to go to this place, there are cities on the island, there are hotels, and all kinds of women, in short, everything you can think of is there. ”
Mia's eyes showed a longing gaze, she didn't want to be a pirate unless she had to, and she was tired of this kind of fearful life, and her biggest dream in this life was to live a normal life.
"Are you going? I've heard that you writers need inspiration to write something, and that is the place for you. ”
"Forget it, I'm still not going, it's too noisy, I like quiet places." Li Chaoyang refused with a smile, this kind of place is really not suitable for him.
"And if you had to choose where you would go?"
"Nordics, I will choose a quiet bay to live in, the kind where you can see the snow-capped mountains when you open the door, and when I have time, I will either go hunting in the mountains, take hunting dogs, ride snowmobiles, and chase bears and elk through the long snowy fields, or I will go fishing at sea in a boat, the house is not too good, as long as I can live in it, I am willing to live in that kind of place for the rest of my life."
In the rainstorm, the two of them chatted about their ideals, their tired bodies were rested, the spirits roared, and their bodies gradually warmed up.
"It's a good place, but it's a pity that I can't get a passport, it's very difficult to get the right to live in these countries, if you want, you can go to Hokkaido, I've been to that place, and one of my sisters lives there, her house is very big, and the family has her own fishing ground, I envy her very much."
"You still have sisters?"
"Of course there is, do you think Khampa is just my daughter? My sister's man used to be our partner, their whaling ships were often blocked by environmental volunteers and some countries, our role was to drive these people away, to provide some location information for them, and then he took a fancy to Aisha and took her, we haven't been in touch for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing, if she can have children, she should be the mother of several children. ”
"What if? Can't she give birth? ”
Mia smiled bitterly and shook her head and said: "No, not only her, none of us can't, including slaves, Khmpha took us to surgery very early, all of us can't get pregnant again, the risk of pregnancy is too high for us, Khupa doesn't want to see us pregnant, then he can't do anything to us." ”
In order to satisfy his deformed hobby, he actually deprived a group of women of their fertility, such people can no longer be called human, and you can imagine how much Mia hates Khuppa.
Li Chaoyang tried to turn the life raft over, Mia also jumped down when he saw this, and the two of them turned it over together and climbed up again. I don't know when the biscuit was washed away, the oars are gone, and if you want to survive, you can either jump into the water and swim, or you can only paddle with your hands.
Once the swimming is exhausted and there is no place to rest, he will drown, and the efficiency of paddling is too low, Li Chaoyang tried to paddle a few times, but the life raft full of water did not move.
They were caught in a dilemma and were stranded at sea.
It's getting dark, visibility is getting lower and lower, and if they continue like this, they're afraid they won't be able to survive tonight.
"Is this going to die here?" Li Chaoyang looked at the boundless sea and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Land!"
Mia suddenly pointed to the right and shouted, Li Chaoyang quickly got up, and saw a huge blurred outline appear on the sea in the distance on the right side of the life raft.
There is no doubt that it is land!
"Throw the boat away and swim over." Mia couldn't wait to slip into the water.
Land, they finally saw the land, the originally sluggish spirit was lifted up again, the lifeboat that had lost its oars was meaningless, Li Chaoyang followed closely and jumped down, paddling hard into the distance.
The rain was a little lighter, and in order to save strength, Li Chaoyang kept changing his posture.
The salty sea water continued to pour into Li Chaoyang's mouth, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and the swing amplitude became smaller and slower, and the speed became slower and slower. Mia's condition is not much better, the two of them are struggling to support with perseverance, Li Chaoyang can't help but be secretly glad that he didn't bring Sydney, otherwise he would really hurt her, and I don't know how she is now.
After a long swim, the two finally arrived at the beach and climbed onto the beach with their hands and feet.
At the moment of touching the beach, both of them collapsed, lying on the beach and never wanting to move again.
