Chapter 1: Shipwreck
Since the enlightenment of human civilization, the pace of exploring the sea of stars has never stopped. Although there will be ignorant fear, small humility, but the front is always under the feet.
My name is from Dongnan City, Han Dongnan, I have been a soldier for a few years, and after I left the army, I got a job as a special security guard on a cruise ship.
The boat I was on was called the Margaret, and it was quite luxurious, with all kinds of entertainment and living facilities inside, and of course, the cost of a trip was also expensive.
It is relatively easy to do security work on a cruise ship, because our route does not pass through those areas where pirates are frequented, and basically we can't even see a bird for half a day.
At night, the ship is brightly lit, and all kinds of hustle and bustle are mixed with drunken gold fans, outlining a picture of extravagance and decadence. After I finished my normal patrol work, I returned to the rest room to get ready for bed, and in the haze, I seemed to have returned to the life of the army, sweating day after day, flying eaves and walls in the mountains, although simple but very fulfilling.
Just as I was about to jump off the cliff and jump down the zipline, the zipline suddenly broke, and my whole body fell into the abyss in terror like a kite with a broken string.
When I woke up again, the salty sea water kissed my lips one by one, my head ached, and my body seemed to fall apart, and after two breaths, I reluctantly stood up and looked around to find that I was actually on a beach.
There are all kinds of large bags and small bags scattered on the beach, and there are also many unconscious tourists lying on the beach.
What's going on? Shouldn't I be on a cruise? How did it end up here? The unconscious tourists, all kinds of messy parcel boxes, were quickly connected together, and the cruise ship was wrecked.
At the same time, a few more people got up on the beach one after another, and they were mostly panicked and overwhelmed in the face of sudden changes.
I patted my head and tried to make my mind clearer, and at the same time quickly observed the situation around me, looking west at the endless sea, peaceful and docile without a trace of waves, and looking east at a lush and dense forest.
I remember that before we fell unconscious, our boat should have been in the middle of the ocean, and no matter what happened later, if we had only been in a coma for a few hours, we would still be near the center of the ocean, so we should be on an island in the center of the Pacific Ocean.
"Han Dong!" As I was thinking, suddenly my name was called, and I looked for prestige, and a tall, fat figure came running towards me from not far away. I hurriedly motioned to him from afar to slow down and calm down, and now I was sore all over, and if he bumped into him again, I would really have to follow in the footsteps of Comrade Marx.
Da Xiong is from Nancheng like me, and we didn't know each other at first, but after a long time on the ship, we found out that our two families lived not far away. This grandson is tall and fat, greedy, sleepy, money-loving, and lustful, which can be said to be typical of nothing.
I asked Big Bear, "What the hell is going on, and how are we in this place?" ”
Big Bear shook his head and said, "Who the hell knows, I was discussing the future of my life with my little sister in the restaurant last night, and the boat shook all at once, and I didn't know what hit me, and then I didn't know anything." Alas, what the hell do you think is going on? ”
I said, "Then it's obvious, we probably have encountered a storm at sea, maybe God thinks we still have some surplus value for national construction, so God sent us here." ”
"So what can I do about it? Let's call the police. Da Niu said as he took out his mobile phone, but after rummaging through it for a long time, there was nothing in his pocket.
I said, "Don't worry, you can't get out of this place even if you have a cell phone." There will definitely be a large-scale search and rescue in the wreck of our big cruise ship, and we will just wait on this beach. ”
After overcoming the initial fears and uneasiness a little, the survivors quickly gathered together, and we counted a total of sixteen people, most of whom had skin injuries and were in a bad state of mind.
I comforted everyone and said, "In the process of sailing, our cruise ship will send back navigation data to the national competent department in real time, so now that something happens, the country should find out as soon as possible, everyone have a good rest, and it won't be long before the search and rescue fleet can find us." "In fact, I don't have any bottom in my own heart, the so-called return navigation data are my own blind guesses, after all, I am just an ordinary security officer who walks through the back door to get on the ship, and I don't know about the navigation status of the cruise ship, I had a brief training before getting on the ship, but helplessly the grandson of the big bear sat next to me, he quietly touched the mobile phone and put the ***** that was not suitable for children, out of social morality and conscience, I repeatedly wanted to stop his shameless stinky hooliganism, distracted attention, As a result, the content of the training was not listened to at all.
As soon as I finished speaking, a middle-aged man with glasses jumped out and said, "In case we are carried away from our original course by the current, the search and rescue team may not be able to find us for a while, maybe a day or two, maybe three days or four days, so until the search and rescue team finds us, we need temporary shelter, water and food." ”
When he said this, everyone agreed, and I think it makes sense, after all, we are wrecked in the great ocean, and if the boat sinks completely to the bottom of the sea, it will not be easy to find, so I proposed that some people go to the island to find food and water, and some people should be responsible for building temporary shelters on the beach.
But this proposal was immediately rejected by the man with glasses, who said that since we are now in the island jungle, we should follow the natural law of the jungle, the young and strong nature can help each other, but the old, weak, sick and disabled will only be a burden.
When he said this, I kind of understood, because there were five or six girls in our wave of survivors, and two or three older people, and the man with glasses probably felt that these people couldn't help, and they had to be taken care of, probably because he wanted to leave them alone. But I can't agree with this, first of all, regardless of men, women, and children, everyone is a survivor, and it is impossible not to die in natural disasters, but to die in the abandonment of their own kind. Besides, they can help prepare food and do light physical work, which is not useless, and in the end I don't think we should be on this island for long, if it is a burden, it is only temporary.
Under my impassioned encouragement, the man with glasses still didn't agree with my point of view, and insisted on holding his own group, I was so angry that I really wanted Big Bear to sit on him to death.
At this point, it's useless to say more, what everyone has to do now is to stand in line, the glasses man with a few young and strong people got a group, and the big bear and I took a few girls and the old people to get a group.
Since you want to survive for a short time, you must have some tools for survival, there are a lot of parcel boxes on the cruise ship scattered on the beach, and the two groups of us are naturally eyeing each other, and the man with glasses is all young and strong on his side, so if you have to pick first, I and the big bear will naturally not do it. Da Xiongxiong's temper is also quite bluffing, he said that if you have to pick first, you can pick first, whoever can knock him down can also pick first.
Don't look at the glasses man, there are many young people, but it's really not a matter in front of me and the big bear, the big bear is estimated to be able to put down several of them, and except for the glasses man, the other people are not bad in nature, they are all for the sake of stealing a living, and although there are a lot of materials on the beach, most of them are useless, and there is really no need to fight for these big moves.
In the end, I proposed that we pile all the useful things together and divide them equally, and the man with glasses pondered for a long time and reluctantly agreed.
Sure enough, although there are a lot of things on the beach, there are really not many useful ones, most of them are the luggage packages of tourists on the boat, what clothes and cosmetics, hats and glasses are quite a lot, and there is a little food, but they are all soaked in water and it is estimated that they can't eat. The most useful was the discovery of a toolbox with rope, a tarpaulin, and a short knife.
Acting on the island is naturally very useful, I and the man with glasses both want, but there is only one, the big bear whispered to me on the side that I can't solve it by force, I shook my head and said don't talk nonsense, he wants a knife is not an excessive request, but only one how to be good.
At this time, one of our uncles said, "Give them the knife, and leave us the tarpaulin and rope." ”
Big Bear looked at the uncle with big eyes and said, "What is the uncle thinking?" We can't even cut firewood without a knife, so we want the rain cloth and rope to be useful? ”
The uncle squinted his eyes and said, "Young people can't be wrong for listening to me. ”
In this way, we simply divided the materials we had collected and scattered them to the opposite ends of the beach. In fact, at this time, most of the people are curious and fresh about the survival of the island, and they don't think too much about the dangers and troubles they may encounter, after all, everyone feels that we can leave here in three or two days at most, and the belief that we can leave immediately is like a fire in the dark, giving people the last warmth in the unknown and uneasy environment, but soon this fire was extinguished by God's saliva.
Originally, the sky was clear and for some reason suddenly dark clouds, and the white lightning between the dark clouds appeared and rolled from time to time, and a huge thunderclap followed. Before we could react, the rain was pouring and howling, and I hurriedly beckoned everyone to run to the forest.
The island forest was densely wooded and had wide leaves, and we could shelter ourselves from the rain a little, but the rain was so strong that we soon became soaked.
The big bear unfolded the rain cloth, and everyone huddled together to hold the rain cloth above their heads, but the biting rain changed from other directions and kept beating it, and in an instant, the fear after the disaster, the pain of the separation of relatives, and the confusion of life and death were all swept in.
