Chapter 199: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
When Li Chaoyang woke up again, it was already the third day of returning to Snake Island.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Tong Fei's familiar face, with a happy expression on her face and a piece of cloth in her hand.
"You're finally awake, and you're scared to death." Tong Fei's excited words trembled.
Linda also ran over, this bold and careful foreign woman was no different from Tong Fei at the moment, and she was also smiling happily.
I haven't seen her for a few days, her face has tanned a lot, and there are a few more scars on her arms.
Looking at these two women, Li Chaoyang was a little suspicious of his eyes, and he glanced around to be sure that he had indeed returned to the cave.
He went home.
There was still a fishy salmon hanging on the wall of the cave, and there was the soft rubber of the speedboat, with hay still underneath, and a fence gate that he had made himself, and a carbine beside him.
He really came back alive.
It felt unreal and real, like a long, long dream.
Tong Fei reached out and touched Li Chaoyang's forehead, and said happily: "The fever has subsided, sister, your medicine really worked." ”
"It definitely works, thanks to your non-stop care day and night." Linda put her sniper rifle around Tong Fei's shoulder and shook it heavily.
"What medicine?" Li Chaoyang was a little dazed.
"Herbs, there are some special methods, such as this!" Tong Fei picked up a round pearl from behind.
"The old witch doctor in our village often uses ground pearl powder to reduce the fever of children, and I happened to find these things on the beach, so I went into the water to collect some of them, and combined them with some of the herbs I found for you to drink, but the most important thing is Miss Tong, she has been wiping your body with a wet towel to cool down, and she also gave you a lot of coconut water, and I haven't had a good rest for two days and two nights."
"I didn't do anything, don't talk nonsense." Tong Fei's face turned red.
Li Chaoyang looked down and found that there was only one pants left in his body, and there was a unique aroma of coconut water in his mouth.
Looking at Tong Fei's emaciated and haggard face, she was indescribably grateful, her dark circles were particularly heavy, and her two eyes were deeply sunken in their sockets, and she must have suffered a lot during this time.
Originally, in his heart, these two women would drag him back, but he didn't expect that this time they saved themselves and supported themselves for two days without themselves.
It's remarkable.
"Thank you." Li Chaoyang thanked them from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't thank me, just take me to your country when the time comes, I want to see the new world that Miss Tong said." Linda quipped with a laugh.
Tong Fei got up and poured a cup of hot water for Li Chaoyang, Li Chaoyang took the cup and couldn't help but take a look, this cup is made of bamboo tubes, and there is a vivid rabbit carved on the outside.
"My hobby used to carve things when I was idle on the boat." Linda said a little shyly.
The pot made of tin buckets on the stone stove next to him was steaming, and Li Chaoyang smelled the aroma of food.
Looking at the cup in his hand, Li Chaoyang had more ideas, this thing can not only be used to make cups, but also to make dishes and chopsticks to make tables and chairs, it seems that some will be busy in the future.
"They didn't come, did they?" Li Chaoyang thought of Chen Yaodong and hurriedly asked.
"No, I've been staring, it's been quiet on the other side, and they haven't been able to come for the past two days." Linda said.
"Why?"
"Because it has been foggy for the past two days, it has been raining almost every day, and they can't get through it at all."
Li Chaoyang looked outside the entrance of the cave, and it was indeed gray outside.
The hot water tasted strange and even a little bitter.
"The taste of the herbs may be a little strange, but the effect is still good, believe me, if it weren't for the fact that I often go to sea, I would have been the successor of the witch doctor a long time ago."
Linda smiled very happily, but Li Chaoyang's heart was uncomfortable, he clearly remembered Linda's crying when she left the island, she tried hard to show herself, just hoping that Li Chaoyang would not leave her.
But in the end, Li Chaoyang still left her behind, but she didn't complain about Li Chaoyang, and even rescued him.
Compared with Tong Feilinda, who can shoot and build ships, and even knows some medical skills, she is bold and careful, and her brain is flexible, she knows very well what she wants, and she also knows very well where her advantages are. Tong Fei is a little girl full of ideals and strong will, while Linda is a mature woman who has been weathered and hardships and can compromise at any time in order to survive.
As for the ideal, it is a luxury for Linda, and it is unattainable.
"Ever heard of a tsunami? Have you ever crossed the Pacific Ocean often? Li Chaoyang told Linda what he found on the mountain.
This was what he feared the most, if the tsunami was to be inundated from the height they had found, it would flood the cave and most of the Snake Island, and they would be in a very bad situation, either fighting the beasts crowded together, or going to Elysium.
The last option is to try to leave before then.
"Yes, almost every year, so every time we go out, we choose a season that is not prone to tsunamis."
Li Chaoyang understood that the seasonal tsunami Linda was talking about should be a storm tsunami caused by a typhoon, and this kind of tsunami satellite can judge the power and direction of the tsunami based on the clouds.
But there is another type of tsunami that is completely unpredictable, and that is an undersea volcanic earthquake.
Snake Island itself is a huge volcanic crater, and this area is most likely located in the fault zone of the earth's crust, and they may not even have a chance to escape in the event of such a tsunami.
"Why do you suddenly have such a problem?" Linda couldn't laugh anymore.
Li Chaoyang told Linda about his and Tong Fei's discovery, and Linda also fell into anxiety after listening to it.
However, she immediately said that there was no sign of flooding in the cave, and even if there was a tsunami, the interval should not be less than a month.
But it doesn't mean anything, the weather is unpredictable, and there is no pattern to follow in the remote movement of the earth's crust, maybe there is a tsunami today, it will continue tomorrow, or maybe it will not happen once in ten years.
It is obviously not advisable to stay on the island and gamble on your luck, and the only way is to flee as soon as possible.
"The next most important thing we need to do is build a sturdy ship and get out of this hellish place." Li Chaoyang said with an oath.
"No problem, this time we're going to make a real boat out of wood and bamboo, instead of a simple bamboo raft." Linda's eyes also shone with excitement.
Because what Li Chaoyang said just now is "we" including her, this time Li Chaoyang wanted to take her to escape with her, and she was finally recognized and became one of the people.
This is the result she has been waiting for.
But building a ship is no easy task, and they still have a long way to go.
The three of them sat together and talked and laughed and looked forward to a better life in the future, Tong Fei said that she would give herself a long vacation after going back, and she wanted to go out to have a good time, Linda said that she wanted to go with her if she could.
"What about you? Do you want to come to my side? On your terms, I think you can be recruited. Tong Fei looked at Li Chaoyang expectantly, she really hoped that Li Chaoyang could go the same way as her.
With Li Chaoyang's wisdom and investigative ability, he will definitely be able to make a career in the police world, and even become a detective.
Li Chaoyang shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I'm used to being free and don't like to be managed." ”
Tong Fei sighed, the fire in his eyes was extinguished, Li Chaoyang is still Li Chaoyang, he will not change himself for anyone, it is too difficult to want him to let go and get out of his utopia.
"Maybe this is the difference between me and Han Xue, I will never be able to go to his heart." Tong Fei secretly lamented in her heart.
But in a blink of an eye, the corners of her mouth showed a mysterious smile again, Li Chaoyang can't change it, she can change it, Li Chaoyang who should see it sees it, hugs it when it should be hugged, and kisses it when it should be kissed, and you must not let go of this guy easily.
Li Chaoyang thought of Han Xue and the imposter.
Where is the real Han Xue?
Is she still alive?
