Chapter 552: Piranha
() After an hour, everyone started to work.
It's just that the air slowly became hot while sleeping, and fine beads of sweat appeared on everyone's foreheads, even Li Qi, who had a colder physique, couldn't withstand the heat at this time.
"What the hell is this?" Ning Zhou chattered endlessly, he sawed the wood with a saw, although he said so, but in fact he still looked up and looked around anxiously, for fear that something dangerous would happen.
Now this situation is a moment of life and death, and if there is any emergency, I'm afraid the three of them will have to explain here.
Ning Zhou always had the idea that sooner or later he would be baked to dry, but that scene was too permeating, he quickly shook his head and shook the miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind.
He looked at Li Qi, who was looking for a rope in the distance, and saw that her face was a little abnormal, and frowned: "Do you want to rest for a while?" ”
"No, you don't." Li Qi's face was flushed, she had been in seclusion for a long time, and she didn't move much, and now the temperature almost made her unable to move, but she didn't want to be a useless individual in the team.
"It's getting hotter." Bai Rong just walked around a little, and he felt that his back was already soaked.
She wiped a handful of beads of sweat from her forehead: "How many degrees is it now?" ”
"It's 105 degrees." Li Qi glanced at the thermometer placed on the tree and gasped.
She silently calculated in her heart, compared to the past few hours and the previous temperature, on average, it should have risen by one degree per hour.
Judging by this heating rate, sooner or later they will die like Li Qi's father. Bai Rong didn't know how painful it was to die of dehydration, but Professor Li's expression before he died was very unsightly.
After finding Professor Li, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Li Qi about this matter. Bai Rong raised his head and glanced at Ning Zhou, both of whom saw the hesitation in the other party's eyes.
The temperature continued to rise, and this long waiting for death was more torturous than dying. For the first time, the desire to live became so strong, and after the three of them calmed down, they started to work again, just to build the ship as soon as possible so that they could leave this ghost place.
Seeing that there was still a sail left, the ship was ready, and the three of them dared to take a break and ran into the cabin to pour a few glasses of water to moisten their throats.
"By the way, Li Qi, there is something I need to tell you, but I hope you can be mentally prepared." Ning Zhou's face suddenly froze a little
Heavy.
At least since they met him, he has always looked like a hanger, and seeing that his face suddenly became solemn, Li Qi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Say it." She said softly.
Ning Zhou saw that Bai Rong also nodded at him, so he cleared his throat and said, "That's the case, when we arrived, your father had already passed away." We checked it out and found out that he had died of dehydration. ”
"His health was not very good, and such a high temperature was already unbearable for him, coupled with some diseases in his body, which caused dehydration." Bai Rong added.
Li Qi's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her voice trembled a little: "Are you sure that my father has passed away?" ”
The two of them nodded at the same time, and for a moment the atmosphere in the wooden house was a little heavy, and the depression in the air was almost breathless.
"Don't be too upset, it's not your fault, and this is his body over here, maybe he's still alive over there." Bai Rong stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and whispered relief.
"I'm just, a little bit unacceptable for a while." Li Qi shook her head, still a little incredulous, but what the two of them said would not be false, even if she was unwilling to accept this fact, it had already happened, and she could only rely on a miracle to happen.
Grief overwhelmed her like sea water, Li Qi suddenly felt that she was an orphan from now on, she bit her lip tightly, her eyes slowly turned red, and tears silently slipped down her face and dripped to the ground.
Bai Rong didn't know what to do, so he had to gently hug her and pat her back like a child.
"You comfort her first, let him regain her mood, I'll go back to work. The sooner we do it, the better our chances of survival. Ning Zhou couldn't see this kind of scene the most, he hurriedly waved his hand, turned around and walked out.
Today's temperature is just as unbearable, and the heat penetrates into people's bodies, making people feel like they are going to be dried from the inside out.
"It's done!" Ning Zhou shouted excitedly, he hurriedly asked Bai Rong and the others to prepare their luggage, and set off for the crater in a while.
Looking at the somewhat simple wooden boat with white sails tied in front of him, Bai Rong's heart was filled with emotion. But she also knew that now was not the time to be sad, so she quickly threw her bags and some tools onto the boat, and beckoned the three of them to push the boat into the sea together.
Don't forget the compass! Ning Zhou shuddered, he rushed into the house like a robber, and after looting all the supplies, he was about to throw large bags and small bags on the boat. After being stopped by Bai Rong for the reason of the shipwreck, he sat on the ground a little discouraged and wanted to protest.
"Leave quickly, we're running out of time." Li Qi pointed to the thermometer, breathing a little short.
Ning Zhou understood that it was not the time to play treasure, and hurriedly pushed the small wooden boat to the sea.
The wooden boat slowly floated up after encountering the water, and finally after being pushed into the water some distance from the beach, the three of them were ready to turn over and get on the boat.
"Wait." Bai Rong suddenly thought of something: "I'll go to the shore to find a few wooden sticks, this place is full of dangers, we can't be sure that this small wooden boat can resist the unknowns in the sea, in case there is any emergency, it is good to deal with it." ”
As she spoke, she turned back in a few moments, with a large stick as thick as her arm in her hand. Ning Zhou looked at the wooden stick in her hand, and felt at ease for a while, and grinned: "It's still thoughtful." ”
It was already afternoon, and the three of them didn't dare to stay any longer, so they hurriedly set sail. The white sails are blown by the sea breeze. The ship wasn't that big and didn't have much to pack, so they sped towards their destination.
"If we keep up this pace, we should be able to get there by tomorrow." Li Qi opened the map and roughly calculated their current distance, and after measuring the speed, he came to a conclusion.
Lying on the boat, with the help of the sea breeze, Ning Zhou was temporarily liberated and did not have to do a coolie rowing, but such a stable itinerary also made him a little drowsy.
"Ning Zhou, wake up!" Bai Rong's voice revealed anxiety and uneasiness, she clenched the wooden stick in her hand, and her face was very ugly for a while.
The person who was woken up by her was not very happy, and was about to get out of bed, when he saw a fish the size of a calf jumping up in front of her.
Seeing this, Ning Zhou's face turned white in that instant: "What kind of thing is this!" ”
He let out a terrible scream, and soon he noticed many dark shadows around the hull, and was about to reach down and catch one, when he stretched out his hand and a fish with a wide mouth jumped up.
Ning Zhou quickly retracted his hand, because he saw the sharp teeth in the mouth of the fat-headed fish, bursting out of the cold light.
"Piranha." Bai Rong pursed his lips and said after beating a fish that wanted to jump into the boat back into the water with a stick.
