"Gordon!! Hey, brother, get up, we're all going to die if we don't leave." ”

The sleeping man struggled to open his eyes, not from the shouts, but from the constant shouts of killing, screaming, and the screams of dying and the explosion of shells.

"Gordon?"

Long Jikun, who opened his eyes, saw the stranger in front of him wrapped in a turban and blood constantly dripping from his forehead, his face was full of anxiety, and he wanted to pull him up.

"Thank goodness you're finally awake, listen to me, the ship can't hold anymore, we have to escape......"

Rumble!!!

In the roar of the cannon, a solid cannonball pierced the deck of the ship, and the whole ship had begun to crumble, and it also completely woke up Long Jikun, who was still a little unclear.

The scenes of the battle in front of him shocked him, the cold weapon stabbed into his body fiercely, the blood rushed wildly, and the killer's face was full of flushed excitement and hideousness.

As a biological instinct, danger fills every organ, the rapid secretion of adrenaline fills the whole world, the brain is in chaos, there is only one thought, escape from here!

The man in front of him lifted him up, and then the two of them staggered towards the cabin, which was a slightly safer place when the deck was full of enemies.

Coming to the location of the cannon port below, a large hole appeared on the side of the hull, and through the gap, I saw another ship with skull flags and dense gun muzzles emitting gunsmoke, and countless people hung their swords and jumped onto this ship using primitive tools such as ropes, and began to kill.

"This ...... Where the hell is it?"

"Hahaha, see what I found? Two cowards, I hope you have a good time!"

From the hole in the deck, a somewhat comical face appeared, pale and bloody, looking very crazy, and then lit a bomb and threw it over.

"Jump!"

The people around him directly kicked Long Jikun's back, and then jumped out himself.

The flames and shockwaves that erupted from the gap pushed the two of them far away, and Long Jikun could still feel the scorching breath behind him and the stinging pain of the fragments embedded in the flesh.

The sea water flooded the top of his head, as if everything was separated by the sea, and looking through the sea water at the gas fire above and the falling wooden planks was very unreal.

The ship had been completely destroyed, and the wreckage had fallen deeper into the sea, and Long Jikun had lost all control of himself by this power.

His lungs felt like they were about to explode, and there was no oxygen to bring him back to life, and his consciousness grew blurred until he couldn't feel anything anymore.

......

"Ahem...... Cough. ”

When he woke up for the second time, it was because the cool sea breeze blew on his face, which also brought some vitality, and this person who was already destined to die at the bottom of the sea regained the breath of life under the stimulation of the outside world, the water in his lungs was coughed out, and the oxygen was refilled, and finally the heart was beating.

In the midst of the whirlwind, Long Jikun tried to get up, but obviously failed, and the lack of oxygen drained his strength, so he could only continue to lie down on the beach, thinking about nothing, thinking of nothing.

It was not until the sun waned that the tide began to recede, the sea breeze was no longer mild, and cold and hunger filled his body.

He got up again, and was on a beach with some broken planks as the waves washed up the sand, a coconut grove in the distance, and even crabs crawling beside the rocks on the shore.

Enduring his body full of scars, Long Jikun stepped on a crab, then smashed it to death on a stone, ripped open the crab leg and chewed, as if this kind of thing was already taken for granted, and Long Jikun had never done such a thing in his memory.

But the crab's meat is so scarce that it can't satisfy the man who has been hungry for a day, but makes him even hungrier.

There are a lot of crabs on the seaside, but eating this kind of thing raw can only aggravate his physical health, and if he is infected with parasites or other diseases at this moment, it is definitely not far from death.

So he had to think of another way, looked at the coconut tree not far away, and paid attention.

Lifting up the strength of his whole body, he kicked the innocent coconut tree, and the latter symbolically shook it twice, and there was no more follow-up.

"I'm going to cut you down if I have a chance. “

With no one to communicate with on a desert island, he was already a little nervous and began to speak to a coconut tree.

When one failed, he began to pick up small boulders in the jungle, then stood on a higher boulder and started smashing at the coconut above.

However, in the end, the hit rate was very touching, the hand had begun to swell, and not a single coconut was knocked down.

Long Jikun finally sat down on the stone with some dejection, hunger is not the deadliest, thirst is, this small island is only less than a kilometer, there is no freshwater river, the only hope is the coconut above, he has been on the verge of death twice in a day, this time, the third time.

"Why do you want to do this to me? Haven't I usually accumulated virtue and done good?"

In the chaos in his brain, he couldn't even remember where he came from or why he was here, let alone whether he wanted to know if he had accumulated virtue and done good deeds.

Bang!!!

A coconut fell to the ground with a somewhat dull sound, and then began to roll towards the beach.

"No, no, no, don't! This is my last hope. ”

He jumped up from the stone and chased after the rolling coconut as fast as he could in his life.

And the coconut, however, did not mean to stop and wait, and began to get faster and faster by taking advantage of the downhill.

The sand became the biggest obstacle for the coconut, and the coconut on the sand slowed down a lot, and finally caught it in a dog's poop and grabbed the hope of survival.

One of the small holes was pierced with a stick, and the sweet juice flowed out of it and into his mouth, without the slightest waste, and he did not dare to waste it at all.

After drinking the coconut water, smash the coconut fruit, and the sweet flesh inside is just enough to satisfy hunger.

Only at this moment, Long Jikun finally felt that he was alive in the true sense of the word, and how beautiful life was.

Lying quietly on the big rock, waiting for more ripe coconut fruit to fall, I began to wonder who I really was and why I was here.

As brain function recovered, he finally remembered.

His name was Gordon, and he lived in Havana, an honest young man who went to sea with his friend Duncan, who was working as a seaman on a merchant ship, and was running the route between Liverpool and Kindey, when he was sailing around a place called Huaye Island, he was attacked.
