Chapter 47: The Sandbar
After the raft breaks away from the iceberg, the temperature of the sea water returns to normal. Schools of fish that had disappeared for a long time gathered under the raft again.
Although Xingyu and Mia stored a lot of meat slices, they were trying to balance their vitamin intake. Heungwoo and Mia will continue fishing.
When fishing, Heungwoo also pays attention to the direction of the ocean current. Previously, Xingyu thought that the cold of the huge iceberg affected the direction of the ocean current, and after the iceberg dissolved, it would return to normal.
However, while fishing, Xingyu found that the ocean current was still unstable. One morning, when Xingyu and Mia were fishing, they saw a lot of tiny bubbles emerging from the sea around the raft.
The two stood on the edge of the raft, looking at the bubbles in astonishment. Soon, Xingyu found that what came out of the sea did not look like bubbles.
Xingyu lay down and took a closer look, only to find that there were grains of sand emerging from the sea. At this time, the sea surface was already covered with gray sand.
Grains of sand continued to emerge from the sea, and soon a sandbar about a kilometer in diameter was formed.
At this time, it is like a small sand island with a few containers. Mia was surprised and asked, "Is this a floating island?" Xingyu also looked around in surprise: "We have encountered floating islands before, and floating islands should not be like this." This seems to be an island rising from the bottom of the sea, and this may be the legendary ghost island. Let's go down and see. Mia hurriedly persuaded: "Don't go down yet, it's too weird." We'll wait and see. The two waited on the raft for a long time.
By noon, I still saw that the sand island had not changed. There was no way to do this, so the two decided to go down and have a look.
Heungwoo decided to go down by himself first, and let Mia go down if it was okay. Xingyu climbed down along the upright lock rod of the container door, not daring to jump directly.
Climbing to the top of the sand, Xingyu stretched out one foot to test the hardness of the sand. When it was no problem, Xingyu stood down.
Then Xingyu saw that Miya also climbed down, and Xingyu took a few steps back to leave a place for Miya to fall. At this moment, Xingyu found that he was suddenly sinking, and it was sliding outward and sinking, like going downhill.
Mia saw that Heung-woo was sinking into the sand, and hurriedly picked up speed and climbed down. Then he reached out and wanted to pull Xingyu, who had sunk to his chest, and Xingyu also reached out to pull Mia, but he couldn't reach it.
At this point, it has stopped sliding outward, but it is still sinking upright. And it's sinking faster.
Xingyu soon sank into the sand, struggling desperately in fright. Shari had a lot of resistance, and although Xingyu struggled desperately, his movements were not big.
Xingyu in a panic felt that his hand touched something, no matter what it was, he immediately grabbed it, trying hard to pull himself up.
It was as if it couldn't withstand Xingyu's pull, and it was suddenly pulled and sank down. Xingyu suddenly woke up and understood that it was Mia's hand.
Heung-woo immediately let go of his hand, lest he pull Miya into the sand. Xingyu thought to himself, "This time it's really over." I didn't expect it! First encountered a tsunami, then drifted on the sea, and did not die in the sea, but died in the quicksand. Xingyu gave up struggling and quietly waited for death.
At this time, Xingyu felt something touching his hand again, and as if he was afraid that Xingyu didn't feel it, he kept touching Xingyu's hand.
Xingyu immediately grabbed it, feeling that it was an ankle. When Miya saw Xingyu sinking just now, she immediately grabbed the lock lever of the door with one hand, and stretched out her other hand to grab Xingyu's hand, but she couldn't reach it.
Mia looked around in a hurry, looking for something that could be used. Mia saw that the inflatable boat was not far away, and then she remembered that the rope that pulled the inflatable boat was tied to this door.
Mia immediately grabbed the rope and pulled the inflatable boat in front of her. Mia didn't care if the inflatable boat would sink or not, and immediately jumped off and stood on the inflatable boat.
Mia then immediately pounced on the other side of the inflatable boat, leaned forward halfway and stretched out the inflatable boat, and then put her hand in the sand to look for Heungwoo.
Suddenly, his hand was grabbed and jerked, and even Mia was pulled out of the inflatable boat. Luckily, when she fell out of the inflatable boat, Mia grabbed the rope of the inflatable boat with one hand.
Mia felt her grip loosen and immediately turned around and held the side of the inflatable boat tightly with both hands.
At this time, Mia was in danger, and immediately thought that her feet were longer than her hands and stronger than her hands. His feet may also be able to reach Xingyu.
Mia immediately struggles to move her feet against the resistance of the sand to find Heung-woo. Because she knew the approximate position, Mia's feet quickly touched something.
I can't grasp things with my feet, but I don't feel like Xingyu is scratching my feet. Mia hurriedly kicked her foot to make Heungwoo notice her foot.
Mia finally felt Heung-woo grabbing her ankle and immediately lifted her foot to pull Heung-woo up. But the resistance of the sand was too great, and it was pulled very slowly.
Mia is worried that before she pulls Heungwoo up, Heungwoo will not be angry enough. Mia saw that there was leftover mineral water in the inflatable boat, and immediately opened the cap of the bottle and poured it out.
Then he put the cap back on, grabbed the bottom of the bottle with one hand, and inserted the bottle upside down into the sand, pushing it towards his ankle.
After Heungwoo gripped Mia's ankles with both hands in the sand, he felt himself being pulled up by Mia. But Mia, a girl, had to pull herself up from the sand, but she didn't have enough strength, so she pulled very slowly.
At this time, Xingyu felt that his breath-holding lungs were about to explode, and his mind began to dizzy. Although Xingyu has been trained in breath-holding diving, he can only last for a minute and a half.
Xingyu thought to himself that he might be suffocated before he reached the sand. At this time, Xingyu felt something touching the back of his hand, Xingyu dared to grasp it, and felt that it was a mineral water bottle.
Xingyu immediately grabbed the mineral water bottle and pushed the mouth of the bottle into his mouth. The bottle spout felt the bottle cap when it entered his mouth, and Xingyu immediately bit the bottle cap without thinking about it, and turned the bottom of the bottle with his hand to open the bottle cap.
Xingyu took the bottle in his mouth, exhaled all the stuffy breath in his chest through his nose, and hurriedly inhaled the air in the bottle. Xingyu's dizziness eased slightly, but he knew in his heart that this breath couldn't last long.
Heung-woo immediately grabbed up along Mia's calf, and when he reached the base of Mia's leg, he felt Mia's hand grasping his arm.
Xingyu took advantage of the situation and ran up, put his other hand on Miya's shoulder, pulled hard, and his head finally came out of the sand.
