Chapter 016: The Great Explorer

The width of the Florida Strait is only about 200 kilometers, and on both sides of the Florida Strait, there are the United States and Cuba.

Miami is almost the southernmost point of the United States, which means that you only need to cross the 200-kilometer Florida Strait to get from Miami to Cuba.

The other closest country to Miami is the Bahamas, with the coast distance between the two being only 217 kilometers at its farthest.

The Florida Strait is a very important shipping lane, it is the closest shipping route from Mexico to Europe, from the Gulf of Mexico through the Florida Strait, it enters the Atlantic Ocean.

It was precisely because of this information that Wen Ming was never able to figure out why no one came to save him.

With a radius of 200 kilometers, even with only a helicopter, it can be searched in one day.

"Either I was blown out of the Florida Strait by a tornado, or everybody thought I was dead."

On the endless sea, Wen Ming drove the canoe to the north.

His fear now was that he had been blown into the Atlantic Ocean by a tornado, and if it was in the Atlantic, then he would have no choice but to die if he was heading due north.

In the middle of the Atlantic, sail due north, possibly to Washington, New York, and possibly Canada. Of course, it is also possible to reach Greenland, or perhaps the North Pole.

The last two ends, Wen Ming didn't need to think about it at all, because he would definitely die halfway through. In other words, it only takes ten days for him to die on the sea.

From the location of Miami, the distance to Charleston, a city on the North American continent that extends to the Atlantic Ocean, is about 800 kilometers. With the supplies that Wenming has now stockpiled, as well as his canoe, he will definitely not be able to hold such a long distance.

It stands to reason that with so many death-defying possibilities, he should not go due north, but south or west.

But towards the south, his destination is likely to become Cuba, and the United States and Cuba in this world have the same problems as the world in which Wen Ming lived in his previous life. At this point in time in 2009, if Wen Ming appeared in Cuba, then it was very likely that he would be imprisoned for nearly 10 years.

Because, for Cubans, he is from the United States.

Heading west, he will most likely need to cross the Florida Strait, ending in Mexico. Crossing the Gulf of Mexico in a shoddy canoe has absolutely no other adjectives than to die.

Wen Ming chose due north, just to gamble, bet on his location, or in the middle of the Florida Strait.

As for why no one came to search for him, he thought it was because everyone thought he was going to die, and the isolated island he had been on before did not exist on any map.

The weather in the sea is not as changeable as many people think, because the sea is so big.

Wen Ming was lucky that he hadn't encountered a storm or a wave that could destroy him since he came out of the island.

More than half of the water stored is under his almost harsh use. It was only to say that the boiling water he had, the empty crockpots, stored the rainwater he received.

At critical moments, he needs to drink this unsterilized rainwater directly.

In terms of food, after a three-day voyage, it was also reduced by about half. Because most of the food he ate along the way was fish caught from the sea.

Poison fish vine is a poisonous plant found by Wen Ming on an isolated island, and the toxin of this plant has a very powerful lethal effect on fish. However, for humans, or mammals, the toxic effect is very weak.

Rothitoxin, which can poison a fish, has no effect on adult humans.

Wen Ming uses this poisonous fish vine to catch sea fish.

This sea area is not polluted in any way, and those marine fish can be eaten raw, which is commonly known as sashimi. Of course, after Wen Ming's hands, it can only be regarded as raw fish pieces.

"Hold on for five more days at most, and I'll die!"

Wen Ming is very aware of his physical state, eating raw fish itself is a very unhealthy eating habit, and the raw fish he eats is not rinsed with clean water and directly fished from the sea.

On top of that, in order to be able to catch marine fish in the sea, he uses a lot of poisonous fish vine toxins. Although there is the sea to eliminate the toxicity, after all, the raw fish he has eaten in the past few days is caught with poisonous fish vines.

In a few days, even if he hadn't been poisoned, he would have starved to death from the depletion of the poison roteno.

With death so close, although Wen Ming was a little afraid and regretful, he could only choose to move on.

The sails, made of beach pants, short sleeves and leaves, are already somewhat worn and are getting less and less power to provide for the canoes that are shining.

Fortunately, Wen Ming seemed to have touched an ocean current. This allows his canoe to keep moving through the sea at a speed that is not slow.

"Why haven't you seen the land yet?"

Wen Ming already regretted choosing due north at this time, and if he could survive, he would rather be imprisoned as a spy in Cuba for ten or eight years. At least, you can survive even if you are locked up.

Wen Ming, who was anxious, smeared some coconut oil on his body, then took off his life jacket and jumped into the sea.

He hoped that he could catch sea fish without relying on poisonous fish vines.

After several dives and ascents, Wen Ming finally smiled, because he had successfully caught a few sea fish.

But when he returned to the canoe, his face changed, for he saw that the clouds were gathering in the distance, and that they were dark.

……

In his spare time, Donners loves adventure, and he has his footprints in many places in the United States, and when the land is no longer enough for him, his eyes are set on the endless sea.

In the eastern waters of the United States, there is the world-famous Bermuda.

Bermuda, Miami in the United States, and San Juan in Puerto Rico, the triangle formed by these three points is the legendary Bermuda Triangle. The length of each side is about 2000 km.

Such a large sea area is daunting in itself, and what is even more surprising is that in this area, the existing scientific and technological means of human beings, or normal logical thinking, cannot explain the supernormal phenomena that occur in it.

The goal of Donnas's expedition was set in the Bermuda Triangle.

Together with a dozen of their fellow 'love to die' who shared the same hobby, they rented an ocean-going fishing boat and set off for the Bermuda Triangle.

"Donnas, the owner of the fishing boat called us, he installed positioning equipment on the fishing boat, and he found out that we were heading to the Bermuda Triangle."

In the cabin of the fishing boat, Donus replied with a nonchalant expression, "When we rented this boat before, we didn't agree with him that we couldn't go anywhere, so we don't need to pay attention to him." ”

Someone on deck shouted, "Donnas, there seems to be a storm ahead, should we change course?" ”

Donus rushed out of the cabin, and as the leader of the expedition, he had to keep the group safe.

"Change course, we have enough oil."

Donus raised his binoculars and looked at the storm that was forming at sea in the distance, and there was no trace of fear in his heart, but full of excitement, for a man who likes to explore and like to die, his greatest fear is that this line of work does not encounter any danger.

Storms at sea are very undesirable for those who seek a living on the sea, but Donus is fascinated by them.

"That's ......"

Through the telescope, Donus saw a black dot drifting in the distance on the sea.

The black dot was very close to the storm's location.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Donus rushed to a fixed telescope on the deck, which had a farther field of vision than the one he held in his hand.

Adjusting his direction, Donus found the black dot again.

"God, I saw a man, a man in a canoe, who drove a canoe to the Bermuda Triangle, and he was the greatest explorer in the world!"

The stunned Donus had infinite respect for the man in the canoe.

The others, who heard Donnas's roar, began to scramble for the telescope.

"Donnas, are you an idiot? He must have been shipwrecked. ”
