Chapter 147: Arrival, Elysium Island!
The morning fog on the sea is particularly large, just a few meters apart and you can't see clearly, there are only a few people left in front of Li Chaoyang, everyone rarely speaks so as not to waste their strength, everyone on the pirate ship sees a small island in front of them, but the sense of direction in the sea is far less than that on the pirate ship.
The appearance of sea fog completely obscured the island, leaving many people disoriented.
This island seems to be very close, but in fact it is much farther away than everyone thinks, and Li Chaoyang and a few people still can't see the island after swimming for half an hour.
"Are we going in the wrong direction?" Guo Mingming's voice came from the fog.
"Could it be a mirage?" Guo Yu's voice was a little anxious, and he was obviously exhausted when he was panting.
Judging by the sound, they should be in front of the left.
The sea fog in the sky is like an invisible net, connecting everyone into it, and there is no hope in sight, and there is a dead silence all around, except that the sea is the sea.
"It's not a mirage, it's real, I've seen it all, it's right ahead." Zheng Guoqiang shouted loudly, and there was immediately a sound of rapid paddling in front of the left, and many people followed him.
There were a large number of pirate ship wrecks floating on the sea, and the air was still filled with the smell of gunsmoke, the pirate's corpse quickly attracted sharks, and the gray-brown dorsal fin swept across the water like a blade, Li Chaoyang grabbed a log and pushed it to Tong Fei, and the two of them hugged each other and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
The corpse of a pirate floated to Li Chaoyang's side, he fell on his back in the water, his face had several bullet holes, his face was broken, and there was a carbine hanging on his chest, Li Chaoyang pulled the body over, took off the carbine and put it on his back, and took off the bullet belt and wrapped it around his waist, and there were two complete magazines and a smoke bomb on the bullet belt.
"Take it." Li Chaoyang threw his pistol to Tong Fei.
"I don't need it."
"It has to be used, the pirates are not dead, and these people are more dangerous than the pirates."
After these days of hardship, especially Mia's torture, Li Chaoyang's heart has changed greatly, and if he wants to live, he must kill people.
"Help, help us." A woman suddenly appeared next to Li Chaoyang.
It was a striped slave, her hands still handcuffed, holding a basketball in one hand and a teenage child in the other.
Judging by the appearance of the children, they should be a pair of sisters, and the woman speaks half-baked English, and even the local language comes out in a hurry.
The woman's sister was seriously wounded, was shot in the right chest, and died with her eyes slightly closed.
Tong Fei stretched out his hand to pull it and was stopped by Li Chaoyang.
"What are you going to do? Give her the logs? Li Chaoyang asked.
"What then?"
"It doesn't matter so much, who knows how long it will take to swim, her sister is injured, blood will attract sharks, we will die if we save them, and we can't save them."
Seeing that Li Chaoyang and Tong Fei hesitated, the woman showed a desperate expression, she let go of her sister's hands, kept nodding and shaking her head and said something she didn't understand, seeing that the situation was begging Li Chaoyang.
"Let her go and swim forward, or you'll all die."
After Li Chaoyang finished speaking, he kicked his legs hard and rowed away, not because he couldn't save it, but because he couldn't save it.
If it weren't for a good relationship with Tong Fei, he wouldn't even save Tong Fei.
Not far away, a beige thing suddenly floated on the sea, it was actually a rubber raft, Bo Tsai opened his mouth to shout but was stopped by Chen Yaodong, and other people on the side also found the rubber raft and swam over.
This is a very small raft, which can only be carried by two people at most, and whoever grabs it will have a huge advantage in physical strength, and will naturally be able to land on the island as soon as possible.
At the very least, you won't drown in the sea from exhaustion.
At the front was a tall man, with Huang Mao and Zhang Jianjun on the side.
Seeing that they were about to climb onto the rubber raft, Chen Yaodong raised his pistol without hesitation and pulled the trigger, and a crisp gunfire suddenly sounded on the sea, and the tall man was shot behind him and fell into the sea, Zhang Jianjun and the others immediately stopped, and looked back at Chen Yaodong in disbelief.
"The rubber boat is ours, no one is allowed to rob it!" Bo Tsai also showed his knife.
In order to survive, Chen Yaodong did not hesitate to make a move.
At that moment, many people had already lost their weapons in order to flee for their lives, although the pirates had fled, it did not mean that the danger was lifted, compared to the cruel pirates, these brothers who had shared weal and woe in the past were not inferior in any way, and even more vicious.
Hu Jun on the side also had a pistol on him, but at this moment he was intimidated, he didn't dare to make a move for fear that someone behind him would shoot a black gun.
"Bang Bang!"
A barrage of carbine bullets hit Bo Boy's side and splashed a little water.
"Don't move!" Li Chaoyang's voice came from behind Chen Yaodong, and he gritted his teeth and turned around violently.
As soon as his hand was raised, Li Chaoyang's bullet hit Chen Yaodong's right arm, and Chen Yaodong's wrist flicked and the pistol fell into the sea.
"Don't move, whoever moves kills!" Li Chaoyang held the log in one hand and the carbine in the other, and his body balance far exceeded that of others.
Tong Fei had no choice but to raise the pistol, but she didn't even open the insurance in a panic.
"Li Chaoyang, what do you want to do?" Chen Yaodong glared at Li Chaoyang viciously.
Li Chaoyang raised his hand and shot Chen Yaodong again, this was his response, it was self-evident what he wanted to do.
The two of them looked at everyone vigilantly, and quickly paddled close to the rubber raft, Tong Fei threw herself on the rubber raft, twisted her body and wanted to climb up, after swimming for a long time, Tong Fei had no strength at all, Li Chaoyang saw this, hugged her buttocks and pushed her up, which pushed her up.
Tong Fei half-knelt on the rubber raft and aimed the pistol at Chen Yaodong, Li Chaoyang did not rush to climb up, but continued to push the rubber raft sideways, the muzzle of the gun was always pointed at the others.
This scene is so similar to the classic picture on the Titanic, Tong Fei secretly glanced at Li Chaoyang and felt an unprecedented sense of security, she never believed that Li Chaoyang would kill Han Xue.
It has been pushed out far away, and Li Chaoyang climbed up.
"You watch, I'll paddle." Li Chaoyang took off the folding paddle and paddled forward vigorously, his movements were very skillful, left and right, and the rubber raft quickly slid forward.
Looking at the people who were gradually disappearing, Tong Fei put down the pistol, she took off another folding paddle and paddled with Li Chaoyang, glanced at each other, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose to reveal a relieved smile.
They had finally escaped from the sight of others, and for the first time they were truly free, and now their fate was completely in their own hands.
"Look!"
There was a gust of sea breeze blowing on the sea, and the fog on the sea was blown away, and the island appeared in front of the two of them, this island was much bigger than they imagined, and what everyone saw just now was only a small part of the front of the island, the island was lush and dense, unknown seabirds flew around in the forest, and the bursts of birdsong sounded so crisp and pleasant.
There are also two islands and some sandbars on the left and right sides of the island, which turned out to be a group of islands.
"We are saved." Tong Fei hugged Li Chaoyang tightly, and she was about to cry with joy.
Li Chaoyang was also very happy, the presence of vegetation and birds on the island means that there is food, as long as they guard this pirate, they will be rescued one day.
But Li Chaoyang's smile immediately froze on his face, and he found that there was actually a lifeboat parked on the shore of the island.
"We can't go up to the island, let's go, change places, go quickly." Li Chaoyang pushed Tong Fei away and picked up the oars again.
"What's wrong?" Tong Fei didn't know what to do for a while.
"There are lifeboats on the shore, there may be pirates, this should be the Isle of Elysium."
Li Chaoyang remembered that Chen Yaodong had said that they would arrive at the destination of the trip, Elysium Island, the next day, and repairing the water pump overnight had already shown that they were waiting for it in a hurry, so this nameless island was very likely to be Elysium Island.
If this is Elysium, then going up is undoubtedly suicide.
Seeing that the land was in front of them, the two did not dare to step forward, so they could only quickly row away and row towards a smaller island in the distance.
