Chapter 322: Survival on an Island (1)
The crowd first looked at the man who claimed to be the captain, and it didn't take long for the restlessness to return, and the cruise ship was already showing signs of sinking, which made them even more uneasy.
"Calm down, everyone!" shouted the captain.
A brief silence appeared on the deck again, and the captain immediately shouted when he saw this, "Don't panic, the more panicked you are at this moment, the more dangerous it is, I know that everyone is very anxious now, I am also very anxious, don't look at me young, but I have been going to sea with my father since I was a child, it can be said that the ship and the sea grew up with me, I am more familiar with the sea than any of you, and I really love ships."
I don't know what to say in this situation, there are more than 300 people on this cruise ship, and if you all rush out like this, you will only bring more trouble to yourself, so I hope you will be more calm and follow our arrangement. The distress signal has been sent out, and I promise to get everyone back to shore safely!"
The young captain's words eased the anxious faces of the crowd a lot, and many people spontaneously lined up and walked towards the lifeboat.
"Listen to me, the men will wait on the boat for a while for the women and children to get off the lifeboat, and those who can swim will come to me to get life jackets......"
Before the captain finished speaking, a crew member in a sailor's suit came to him and whispered, "Captain, our life jackets are simply not enough to distribute to everyone, and there seems to be a strong magnetic field here that cannot send out a distress signal at all." ”
The captain ignored the crew, still shouting at the crowd who were calm on the surface but had long since lost their direction inside.
Because she was a girl, Liang Yan was lucky to be in the queue with the highest priority on the lifeboat, but the speed at which the boat sank far exceeded the speed at which they escaped, and soon more than half of the boat was already submerged, and there were less than one-third of the members on the boat who escaped.
The people began to panic again, and the old order was disrupted, and no matter how much the captain shouted, no one listened. Seeing that she was about to walk onto the lifeboat, Liang Yan was grabbed by a strong big hand, and she was thrown far behind the crowd without reacting.
The desire to survive made her full of strength, and she desperately ran to the lifeboat in the crowd, but in the crowd she seemed so weak and helpless, even if she used all her strength, she could only watch the last lifeboat be put down.
Life jackets were also snatched away, and how small people are in the face of death. Yes, what could the captain do? He was also desperate, the ship was sinking so fast that everyone had no time to escape.
The lifeboat is gone, the life jacket is gone, and the boat is about to sink.
"Is my life coming to an end?"
Liang Yan asked herself in her heart, she looked around, although there were many people who escaped, but there were also many people standing on the boat in despair, some of them were shouting for help, some even cried, but there were also a small number of people who started to jump down from the boat.
"Maybe I shouldn't have traveled, but it's okay so that I'll be completely free...... Liberation? Is this really liberating? Maybe sometimes we should fight against the will of God, which seems to be interesting!"
After speaking, Liang Yan looked up at the night sky, hugged some of the packages in her hand tightly, and then ran to the bow of the boat and jumped down without the slightest hesitation.
The sea water is very salty, there is no way to open her eyes in the sea water, Liang Yan desperately wants to show her head to breathe air, but she can't let go of her hand even if her mouth is full of seawater.
Her consciousness became more and more blurred, and a second before she lost consciousness, what floated in front of her eyes was not her parents, but a colorful world.
"It seems that the will of heaven is not so easily disobeyed......"
All sorts of plopping sounds began to sound on the surface of the sea, and there were also many loud cries for help and the sound that I couldn't swim. Some want to climb into the lifeboat but are pushed down by the people who are relentlessly waiting for rescue, and some even take off the life jackets of those wearing life jackets.
Even if human beings are animals at the top of the food chain, even if human beings are wise, they are still afraid of facing death, which cannot be said to be selfish, no one wants to die, including every living thing on this earth.
The ship eventually fell silent, the ship full of hope, longing and joy disappeared from sight, the struggle continued, and no one was willing to give in unless they were going to another world......
"Ahem......"
"You're awake!"
"Woke up, really woke up! Thankfully, the water wasn't wasted. ”
"I'm ...... Where?" Liang Yan slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was the uneven brown wall, and at the same time, there were different voices of men and women in her ears, some words could be understood, and some words could not be understood.
Since he is speaking human words, it means that he is not dead, but what is this place?
"How's it going?
"You are ......" Liang Yan knew the person who poked his head to look at him.
"It's me! You forgot, it's the girl who came to you at the docks to buy clothes!"
Liang Yan nodded, "I recognize you, where are we now?" Saying that, Liang Yan sat up slowly, and found herself in a cave that was not very big, and she knew that the rescue had not arrived just by virtue of this little bit of information.
"We don't know where it is, I fell into the sea and fainted when the ship sank, and when I woke up again I found myself on this island, where you were washed up on the first night of my visit. ”
"So it's an uninhabited island now?"
The girl nodded, "Well, you've been in a coma for three days, and we've almost turned over the island in the past three days, and we haven't been able to find anyone living on this island." ”
Liang Yan looked around and found that there were still more than a dozen people in this cave, without exception, their faces were full of sorrow.
Two Germans came up to Liang Yan and one of them said something in English, "Can you understand me?"
Liang Yan nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Well, I think you know from her that we're where we are. Although the shipwreck did not take us away, this island will not let us go. ”
"Why?" Liang Yan looked at the German and continued after a few seconds, "I think I should understand what's going on, how long is the food enough?"
The German stretched out three fingers, "The food can last up to three days, and the fresh water is even less, so it can be said that there is basically none, but fortunately there are a lot of fruits on this island, and we also found something similar to watermelon, although they can't be eaten directly, but after cutting, the flesh inside can squeeze out a lot of water, which can be regarded as a temporary solution to the problem of fresh water." ”
"Is there anyone ...... that?"
"Yes, there were two companions who were outside sending distress signals. ”
"I've been in a coma for three days, and you've been rushed to this island a day before me, which means that it's been four days and no rescue team has been here?"
The girl shook her head, "No, not to mention that the rescue team has not even appeared in this sea area." Her voice trembled a little as she spoke, and tears fell to the ground and fell apart.
At this time, the sound of two people talking at the entrance of the cave came from the sound of Chinese.
"Why doesn't there be a fishing boat passing by in this unfortunate place? If there is no one else, we will die of hunger and thirst. ”
"I'm more afraid of dying alone than dying of thirst and starvation. ”
"I said, how can you say such a thing? If you die, I won't accompany you. ”
As soon as I entered the cave, the two voices stopped at the same time, and after a few seconds, a voice full of excitement sounded again, "Yo, this beauty, you're awake!"
Liang Yan followed the voice and looked over and found that it was a man in his thirties, with a flat face looking at him very obscenely.
Liang Yan avoided his eyes and looked at the person behind him, who was also a man, but he was younger, with a simple smile on his face, and he looked like an honest man.
Liang Yan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and thanked her, "Thank you for your concern." ”
"We're still thinking about it, if you don't wake up, I'm going to make a raft and take you out!" The lewd man didn't hear the annoying meaning of Liang Yan's words, and still wanted to please her all the time.
The girl on the side showed disdain, "I said that this big brother, we can't protect ourselves from what kind of raft you make?"
"This ......" The man was choked and had no words to say, so he could only sit aside.
The three Germans did not understand their conversation, and when they saw the man sit aside, they thought something bad had happened.
"Did something happen?"
A German asked nervously.
Liang Yan then remembered that they were foreigners who couldn't understand Chinese, so she shook her head and replied, "Nothing happened, it's just that this big brother is worried about me, it's not a big deal." ”
The German breathed a sigh of relief, "It's almost time, let's get ready for dinner." ”
"I can't go back, I can't go back, we're all going to die here, we're all going to die here!" Suddenly, a woman laughed like crazy, startling Liang Yan, and she hurriedly turned her head to check.
It was an unkempt woman, her long hair had been messed up because she hadn't taken care of it for many days, her mouth had been broken but she couldn't hear what was said, and on her lap lay a middle-aged man in his forties, who seemed to be husband and wife.
"Oh, this is a couple in Taiwan, her husband died in the morning because of a high fever and no medicine. The girl explained to Liang Yan very quietly why women talk crazy.
"Dead?" Liang Yan frowned, fortunately, the temperature of this cave is not very high, otherwise there would be no way to stay in this cave after these few hours.
"This lady, people can't be resurrected from death, even if you don't care about yourself, you have to care about our feelings, your husband should go to heaven. An Englishman walked up to the woman and reluctantly tried to pull her up, but the woman said nothing and would not let him touch her husband.
"You're all going to die! you're all going to die!"
The madwoman pointed at everyone present and laughed wildly.
