Chapter 7: Disputes
Because the navigation equipment on the ship has failed, and now the aviation fuel has been exhausted, even if the oil field is found, there is no equipment to exploit it, and it is impossible for us to row back to the arms of the motherland with oars.
Ms. Lin told us that her father was a scientist who had dedicated his life to the study of specialty seeds. The so-called special seeds are seeds that can grow normally under extreme conditions with only a small amount of water under the condition of global warming and the continuous harsh natural living environment, and this seed will shorten the growth cycle and yield of crops through genetic improvement technology.
Although this technology sounds very beautiful, but scientific research is very difficult, and it requires a lot of capital injection in the early stage, fortunately there is a super-rich person who sponsored this project, with continuous capital investment, and the unremitting efforts of a large number of scientific researchers, the project is finally about to see the light of day.
This time, Miss Lin's father's team originally planned to select a few uninhabited islands in the Pacific Ocean, and then sow special seeds on the islands for testing, but they did not expect to encounter pirates after about a third of the voyage.
The scientific research ship was originally equipped with a small number of personnel and weapons, and the two sides were each injured after a fierce exchange of fire, but at the most critical time, there was a sudden storm at sea, and after a whirlwind turned dark, there were only a few bearded people and Miss Lin left on the scientific research ship, and the others either fell into the sea in a violent shake, or knocked down a hard object and died.
What's even worse is that the scientific research ship seems to have been taken away from its original course, going around in a strange and unknown sea, and it can't get out.
After Miss Li finished speaking, I think it's very strange, the goal of the scientific research ship is an uninhabited island in the center of the Pacific Ocean, according to the normal route, there should be no pirates, and they also encountered a storm at sea, and finally entered this sea area inexplicably.
"In the next two days, she heard the pirates inadvertently talk about how they had been operating in South Asia, and that they had been taken off course by a storm and finally stumbled into our research ship. ”
Another storm? The question in my heart is even greater, could it be that there are some mysterious and strange changes taking place in this world? But I definitely can't answer this question, and the most important thing to think about at the moment is the question of survival. I asked Miss Lin, "Are you sure we can't sail away?" ”
Miss Lin shook her head and said, "I have tried my best, but I really don't know how to leave, and the ship's fuel is about to run out, and it is even more impossible after there is no power." ”
I nodded, and then said to the crowd, "Since this ship is about to strike, let's move the supplies on board to the island, and the storm in this sea is coming, and every time it is frenzied, we will continue to stay on this ship that has lost power, and we may be overturned at any moment to feed the sharks." ”
Su Yuliu asked me, "What about moving to the island?" If our boat can't get out, then the rescue boat outside may not be able to get in, even if the island can survive for a while, will we have to live on this island for the rest of our lives? As she spoke, the tears in her eyes began to roll again, and Sister Hongmei hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and comforted her: "Silly girl, this ship is not a professional rescue ship after all, maybe the reason why you can't get out is that there is a problem with the equipment on the ship?" Besides, the ship can't get in, isn't there a rescue plane? In short, we need to be able to live before we can maintain hope. ”
Uncle Song also echoed: "That's it, my old bones have lived enough anyway, even if I go to see Marx now, I have nothing to regret, you are still young, and a lot of good times are waiting for you." ”
The others also comforted each other with a few words, saying that it was to comfort Su Yuliu, but it was better to comfort each other, after all, whether they could wait for the rescue or not, no one could really say it until now. But sometimes life is not like this, since we can't choose to swim against the current, it is better to go with the flow and cherish it.
At this point, I was going to arrange for everyone to hurry to the cabin to collect the things that could be used on the island, when the man with glasses, who had been a little embarrassed, jumped out again.
I don't know why, I got angry when I saw this grandson, I made a look, Da Xiong understood that he would roll up his sleeves and was about to rush to the glasses man, Uncle Song quickly stopped the big bear, and then said to the glasses man: "This comrade, I know what you want to say." Is it the law of the jungle? Isn't it? It's just that right now, the big guys are all shipwreck survivors, and they may have to survive on this island for a long time in the future, and the supplies are already limited, so do you have to divide you and me? ”
The man with glasses helped his glasses and said confidently: "It is precisely because of the limited materials that I feel that it is more important to advocate the law of the jungle." Now it is definitely impossible for us to escape by ourselves, we can only wait for rescue, it may be three days and five days, or it may be three years and five years, so many people have to eat, drink, Lazar and sleep, how many supplies do we need to meet? I admit that I am a selfish person, I can make a living on this island, I can give for other people, but other people must also be able to pay for me, both sides have the value of using each other, I think I can survive in the long run. As he spoke, he pointed to me and Da Xiong to the boys who were originally with him and said, "Only these two people on their side can do some physical work, and the others can cook and sweep the floor at most, but now we don't want a nanny, but a real labor force!" So you have figured out whether to continue to follow me or to follow them. ”
After his tirade, the young boys all looked at each other and hesitated, and Da Xiong pointed to the man with glasses and said, "You were a reactionary spy leader in your mother's last life, why are you so good at sowing discord?" If they don't follow us, why should they follow you? ”
The man with glasses raised the corners of his mouth proudly, "I'm sorry, I'm not talented, my only hobby on weekdays is outdoor adventure, although I haven't been to such a place, but I have been to a lot of forests, rivers, deserts and snow, the most important thing to survive in the wild is experience, and this is exactly what you don't have." ”
Speaking of which, if the dispute continues, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist beating people, so I said to the man with glasses: "It's your business where you want to go, but this boat belongs to Miss Lin's family, and the things on the ship are naturally hers, so you guys hurry up." ”
When the man with glasses heard this, he naturally didn't do it, and he said, "Who can prove whether this ship is her family?" Even if it is her family, it must now be divided equally. ”
"I'll go!" Da Xiong was immediately angered by that stinky and shameless face, and was about to beat him when he went up, but Uncle Song stopped him again, "Oh, don't make any more noise at this time, if you really want to divide it, let's divide it, we have to hurry up, is it possible that we still want to spend the night on the boat?" Besides, I think I should also ask Miss Lin what she means. ”
After speaking, everyone looked at Miss Lin, Miss Lin was carrying a gun on her back, a heroic appearance, she shook her head disapprerovingly and said, "Don't ask me, except for my father's seed, I don't care about anything else." ”
In that case, the rest of the time is to start the big cleaning. The amount of supplies on the ship is not large, but it is complete, tents, ropes, knives and axes are everything. Truth be told, with these things, our lives on the island can be greatly improved.
