Chapter 5 Making money is not easy

As long as you do things with your heart, your ability and luck will not be too bad, and the results will not be too bad.

Traveling can be a great way to relax and de-stress.

Summer in Southeast Asia is not the ideal season to visit. It's hot, it's rainy, it's sunny, and the air can wring out water, and it always feels wet.

With a soft "snap", the sniper rifle pulled the trigger on the long-waiting target, like the sound of spitting gum in the mouth, accurately ending the seven or eight days of incubation.

In a short time, there was a speeding boat on the sea, and the splash of water attracted a loud curse from a tourist.

The ensuing gunfire made him close his mouth tightly. The chase of the following speedboats made him panic and dodge. When it was sure that it was safe, he cursed at the dinghy that was sailing away.

It seems that cursing can make people cover up their embarrassment and regain their dignity. At the moment, no one bothered to cut his tongue, and only the faint sound of gunfire in the distance was in response to him.

The dinghy that sped on the surface of the sea, like the dorsal fin of a shark, cut open the water, leaving behind some white bubbles. Before it could be completely destroyed, it was crushed by several dinghys that were chasing after him, regenerated, and slowly shattered. The blue sea returned to calm, rippling ripples.

"Da Gou, there are not many bullets, it's good to hide, get close and then fight." Qi Zhiming, who was driving the boat, was a little anxious.

It's been two hours, and if you can't get rid of the pursuit from behind, the helicopter will be over. That's really a life to make money, but not a life to spend.

Eyes are racing to search the sea ahead.

"Sit down, I'm going to turn 30 degrees to the right, you look for a life jacket to put on," he said, and drove towards the small island with a faint outline in front of him.

The color of the sea is different in the front, and the difference between light yellow and dark blue is obvious.

"Bang bang ······", Gou Hong fired a few more gunshots.

There are only two dinghys left behind him, and they are still in pursuit.

"Hold on, sit tight!" Qi Zhiming gritted his teeth and said.

The dinghy S-shaped sped forward at a rapid pace.

"Bang" After two gunshots. The pursuing speedboat crashed into a reef below the surface of the sea and buckled on the surface.

didn't wait for Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong to breathe a sigh of relief. There was a muffled "click" sound under his feet, which made his teeth sore.

The bottom of the dinghy was hit by a large crack in the reef, and the water "gurgled" up.

"Abandon the ship, go into the trench, and drift down the current", the two entered the sea.

The sea was only half waist deep, and he looked back at the people who were chasing behind him, as if they were panicking in the sea to find something. It was found that Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong were busy running away reflexively when they looked at them, hoping to stretch the safe distance.

"Kill them all, get out of here quickly."

After the gunshot, it all ended quickly.

The sea was calm again, as if it had never been broken.

······

The green vegetation brings a sense of coolness to the summer heat, but the lattice lines formed by sunlight and moisture are blurred.

The small island in the distance, standing alone on the sea, is unusually deserted.

When Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong came to this expected island, they were already exhausted. Exhausted, body aches, extreme lack of water.

But the danger behind them and the unfamiliar environment ahead did not allow the two to stay for a moment.

The island is located about 200 kilometers from the mainland. The direction of landing on the island is to the northwest.

Although it is low tide time, even if the tide is full, even if the tide is full, even if it is too large, it is not possible to get close. The shallows around the island are more than a dozen kilometers. Except for helicopters and small speedboats, no other means can enter the island.

The danger can be considered later, and it is imperative to drink water first. Fortunately, there was fresh water on the island, and after resting for a while, I regained my strength, and my head was still groggy.

The island is well protected and a variety of tropical fruits thrive. The island is overgrown with shrubs, and no traces of human activity have been found.

The two hid in the shade of the coconut grove, ate some fruit, and felt full of blood again.

On a June day, the child's face changes when he says it, let alone in this tropical and rainy place. The search for a safe cave is imminent.

The small mountain peak of about 300 meters not far away should be the best choice. "Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", it seems that this is a small mountain peak not far away, and the two of them spent almost an hour.

There is no road on the way, and you must avoid leaving too many trails. The dense grass is full of pesky mosquitoes and snake ants. The forest was hot and windless, the whole body was sweaty, and the clothes were sticking to the body, which was painful and itchy.

For the comfort that was not far away, the torture now became endurable and persistent.

Miracles and surprises are always reserved for those who persevere to the end.

It is a natural cave. More than ten meters deep and four or five meters wide. The entrance to the cave is wide, more than 20 meters above the ground.

Long vines hung down from above, thick and slender at the entrance of the cave.

In the crevices of the rocks nearby, small streams of water crashed against the rocks below. I don't know how many spring and autumn washes and weathering, forming a round stone mortar with a depth of one meter on the ground.

The depths of the cave are pristine, and the rocks around and at the end of the cave are uneven, but fortunately they are still dry.

"This is our home, I love it. Brother Ming, are you still satisfied? Gou Hong's chubby doll face was full of smiles. The big boy, who was seven or eight meters tall, jumped around happily.

"Don't talk nonsense! Bring a gun, go pick up some dry firewood, find some food, and don't shoot if there's no danger. Take a look at the surroundings by the way. Don't leave too many traces, go early and come back early. ”

Gou Hong grimaced and ran out.

There is only one road from the entrance of the cave to the direction below the mountain. Above the entrance is a vertical cliff more than 200 meters high.

Defensive traps can only be set in the way they came. Both of them were exhausted during this time, and they were already at the end of their crossbows, and they couldn't stay overnight anymore.

If there were pursuers, it would be impossible to land on the island at night to search. But in an unfamiliar place, it's always good to have a little more security. Qi Zhiming laid more than a dozen traps along the way up the mountain and into the cave.

Gou Hong returned, bringing back dried firewood, fruits, and a few snakes.

It was getting darker, and the humidity was heavier.

"When will they come after me? How long are we going to wait here? How to get back? "Eat and drink enough, and the body is refreshed. Gou Hong asked as he lay on his back on the haystack and tilted his back.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to go back, it's 200 kilometers from the coastline. The water around the island is shallow, there are many reefs, and there are basically no boats passing through here. Besides, we ran at sea for more than two hours, and the other side did not have a helicopter to chase, so it may be that there is something wrong with them. When I can free my hands, I will definitely come to search. This is a small island, and I should find it soon. It's easy for someone to come, but I'm afraid that no one will come. ”

The rain of bullets can often stimulate the blood of a man, just like a drunkard, the excitement of smelling the smell of wine.

"Have a good rest tonight, I've laid some traps, don't go down. Rest your spirits, look at the terrain tomorrow and make a decision, and sleep! After Qi Zhiming finished speaking, he lay down and fell asleep.

A good night's sleep, the tranquility of the morning awakened by the chirping of birds.

The cave was filled with the smell of smoke and fire, and I couldn't bear to wait long. When I came to the stone mortar at the entrance of the cave, I washed my face, and the smell of plants and trees in the mountains and fields came to my nose, fresh and pure.

The eastern sky was only slightly red, and the dew on the vines at the entrance of the cave rolled down as if frightened.

"It's good that I have money and want to live in a place like this!" Qi Zhiming was talking to himself.

"Brother Ming, it's still dawn, what are you doing?" Gou Hong's confused voice expressed dissatisfaction.

"Get up, there's a task."

This time, Gou Hong did not hesitate anymore and jumped up hurriedly.

······

Knowing the topography of the island is undoubtedly the highest view from above.

The two of them went up to the summit and found that the island was shaped like a truck.

The island is rectangular, three or four kilometers wide, and the peaks of about a kilometer resemble the head of a truck. Yesterday the landing was towed by trucks, and there were wide and gently flowing streams in the flat valleys, and in the distance there were small hills, more than a dozen. The topography of the whole island resembles a small coal train.

The visible area around the island is a pale yellow color of the water, indicating that the water level is shallow. If there is a large-scale search, there is only a dead end here.

In less than a day, 100 people will be able to search this place from place to earth. Even if you can grab a landing craft, you can't outrun the ships in the deep sea and the helicopter gunships in the sky.

There is no place to live in the vast sea level, only this island is lonely.

It is to hide in the sea for a day, and then kill the horse pistol, but the traces of survival still cannot be erased.

Even if you can leave the 100 or so people who are searching on the island, won't there be another 100 people? In peacetime, it is impossible to allow other armed forces to exist. If there is no possibility of escape, then dying in battle is the only option.

I finally made the money, how sorry is it to die?

Rather than waiting for others to come to encircle and suppress, it is better to leave first, at least in terms of time.

The two of them did what they said, hunted some prey, roasted them, brought useful things, and quickly returned to the wreck. After finding some creature items, I started rafting.

I believe that after a night of drifting, the two of them can be taken out of 100 nautical miles, right? A day for the pursuers to search the island will allow the two to enter the deep sea, so that there will be a great hope of being rescued by the passing ships.

······

Rafting doesn't take too much effort, but in the end it's a miscalculation, and the human body is not a fish after all.

After being immersed in the sea water for a long time, it turned into pale skin, attracting the bite of hungry small fish. The bare feet and the skin exposed in the sea water were bloody and exposed to tender flesh and blood.

"Brother Ming, I hurt you, I shouldn't have brought you here!" Gou Hong's voice was a little muffled and low in the waves.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't come here to think about going back. It's okay, my parents died, and my son followed his mom to Canada. At this time, the money should also go into the account. Automatically roll over twice, go through two more procedures, and your wife will receive the money. $1,000,000! You kid live a good life! You swim forward first, and I'll cut the net. Hurry up, don't get entangled! ”

In fact, you don't need to swim much, and the ocean current is still very fast.

It's just that the little fish pecked the feet of the two of them, and followed them frantically, gathering more and more. Wrapped in a cloth still to no avail, the small fish was pecked to pieces in a few clicks. If you use your feet to pounce and drive away, your strength will always run out, and you will inevitably be bitten later.

There is no hope in sight of the distance.
