Chapter 16: Survival on an Island
Looking at the mountains of goods, Huang Liang couldn't help but laugh.
The weapons and ammunition purchased in Hu can earn more than a million pounds by transporting them back and selling them.
Running to the southwest region to build a factory, at most ten years, he can have the strength of the island country without fear.
Relying on the identity of a foreigner, under the power of the fox and the tiger, almost no one dares to trouble him.
If you are careful about developing in the southwest, you will not attract the attention of the people of the island countries.
When the war broke out in the West, he could still take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money.
As soon as he thought that he was about to have the strength to revitalize the nation, Huang Liang was excited and excited.
"Honey, what are you laughing at?" Diana asked curiously.
"When we go back, when the factory is built, we will have an endless amount of money." Huang Liang said foolishly.
"If we don't make any more money, we will all become poor." Diana reminded.
Dispelling the distracting thoughts in his heart, Huang Liang stood up in the three-body posture of form and meaning.
The cargo ship undulates with the undulation of the waves, which is clearly not suitable for practicing calligraphy.
When the ship travels in the vast sea, it is inevitable that it will encounter all kinds of troubles.
A few days later, a super storm howled, and in an instant, two crew members flew into the sea.
The screams came one after another, and everyone hurriedly ran into the cabin.
A few minutes later, the cargo ship shook violently, and then began to tilt.
The crowd hurried to the deck, and no one wanted to be buried in the sea.
The bottom of the cargo ship that ran aground began to enter the water, and under the impetus of the strong wind, it slowly sank downward.
Huang Liang grabbed Diana with one hand, rushed to the deck quickly, and took down the two lifebuoys.
Looking at the figure that fell into the sea, Jack exclaimed, "Lilith! ”
The people on the cargo ship clung to railings, ropes, and other objects, and prayed in their hearts that the storm would stop as soon as possible.
The cargo ship is sinking, and it is certain that you will die if you take refuge in the hold, and there is a storm on the plywood, which is equally dangerous.
Watching the foreigners being swept into the sea one after another, Huang Liang's mood was extremely heavy.
"Let's jump, and when the cargo ship sinks, we'll be swept to the bottom by the current." Diana said.
Huang Liang hugged each other, gritted his teeth and jumped down, no longer caring about the materials worth more than three million pounds.
Waving their arms desperately, the two swam forward with difficulty.
When the cargo ship sinks completely, a whirlpool will form around it, and if you don't run faster, there is only a dead end.
It wasn't long before the ship vanished and the storm faded away.
Spit on the sea, looking at the endless sea, Diana asked for the rest of her life: "What should we do?" ”
"Choose a direction, whether you can escape or not, it depends on luck." Huang Liang said.
There was no end to the sea all around, and he couldn't help it.
"Let's swim ahead." Diana suggested.
The two of them waved their arms quickly, followed the current, and swam straight ahead.
Fortunately, they each have a lifebuoy, and when they are tired, they can take a rest.
I don't know how long it took, the sun buried in the sea, and the night came as scheduled.
"I seem to see the island." Huang Liang said.
"Where?" Diana asked in surprise.
"Over there." Huang Liang pointed to the right.
"Great, let's get over there." Diana said happily.
By the hazy moonlight, the two changed direction and swam straight to the distant island.
Half an hour later, Huang Liang lay on the beach and said happily, "It's safe for the time being." ”
"Hmm." Diana, who had hazy curves, responded weakly.
"Two box cannons, one hundred and forty rounds, and a dagger." Huang Liang counts the supplies.
"All I have left is the clothes on my body." Diana smiled wryly.
"First find a way to make a fire, wear wet clothes on your body, it's easy to catch a cold, now there is no medicine, if you get sick, it will be dangerous." Huang Liang said in a heavy tone.
"Do you have matches on you?" Diana asked.
"Just a box of wet matches." Huang Liang replied.
"Will you drill wood for fire?" Diana asked.
"I haven't tried it, you can try it." Huang Liang said.
After resting for more than ten minutes, they began to look for Chai He.
Using vines and branches, Huang Liang made a tool.
Rubbing his hands together to dig wood to make a fire is obviously not a human thing.
If you want to complete the drilling of wood for fire without relying on tools, nine out of ten people can't do it.
Rubbing the branches with your hands is very easy to get hurt, and the speed of rotation is not fast enough, how can you drill wood to make a fire?
I found some dry branches and pulled some hay.
Kneading the hay, Huang Liang took the homemade tools and began to drill wood to make fire.
The sharpened branches of the tree rotate rapidly under the twisting of the rope made of vines.
In an instant, the green smoke spread, and the place where the two branches touched had become charred black.
"Honey, you're amazing." Diana was pleasantly surprised.
"Dry your clothes first, and rest by the beach tonight." Huang Liang said.
There were no outsiders around, and the two took off their clothes boldly with confidence.
After the clothes were dried, Diana said, "It's all sand, let's go take a shower." ”
"Hmm." Huang Liang nodded.
The next morning, the two searched along the beach for more than half an hour, but found no supplies.
"I'm so hungry." Diana touched her shriveled belly.
"I'm going to catch some fish." Huang Liang took off his clothes, jumped into the sea, and caught some seafood.
After they had their fill, they began to look for water.
Fortunately, there is a natural waterhole on the island, and the problem of drinking water has been solved.
The isolated island within a radius of several kilometers is devoid of any human beings except for some wild animals.
Standing at the top of the island, I looked around, and as far as the eye could see, there were no boats and no islands.
"In the short term, we will only be able to stay on this desert island." Diana said blankly.
"Let's get a grass hut first, live on the island temporarily, make some food that is easy to carry, and if there is really no boat passing by, we will make a raft." Huang Liang said after thinking about it.
"That's all it can be." Diana nodded.
It took most of the day for the two to build a simple grass house.
After lunch, Huang Liang came to the beach and stood in the three-body pose.
After Diana thought about it, she also stood on the side.
For the next ten days, Huang Liang not only looked for food and sleeped, practiced qigong in the early morning and dusk, and practiced boxing, light gong, and hidden weapons the rest of the time.
"My dear, it's been half a month, will there be no route near the desert island?" Diana said.
"What do you want to do so much?" glanced at the graceful Mi Guoniu, and the evil thoughts in Huang Liang's heart rose again.
There were only two of them on the island, and they repeated hunting, eating, and cultivating every day......
A few days later, the two made a raft, looked in the direction of the sun, and headed out to sea to find a way out.
Towards noon, they had no harvest and rowed back to the island on a raft.
For several days on end, they went out in the morning and returned to the island in the afternoon.
"No islands were found in any directions, and no ships were encountered." Diana sighed.
"In a few days, let's bring more food and ......water," Huang Liang proposed.
"Hmm." Diana answered.
Huang Liang cut down a big tree with a dagger, took out three wooden barrels, and touched some dirt outside the barrels.
He put the bucket filled with water on the raft and carried the barbecue again.
The two rowed a bamboo raft and headed out for the vast sea again.
The rough sea water was constantly rising and falling, and within a few minutes, the water in the barrel was less than half.
That night, Diana, who couldn't stand the pressure, resolutely chose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.
Huang Liang, who woke up from sleep, saw the beauty disappearing, and shouted nervously: "Diana ......"
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless sea of water all around.
"Did she fall into the sea? Or did he commit suicide? ”
Huang Liang, who had been looking for no result for a long time, hid his sadness in the bottom of his heart, glanced at the little food left, and immediately smiled bitterly.
"I can't die yet, I must go back alive."
