Chapter 296: Floating to the Sea

"Oh."

Lin Gongyu was stunned for a moment by the invitation of the beauty, then got up, patted the fine sand brought by the sea breeze, and walked towards the life raft.

After getting into the life raft, I saw that Gu Qingsha had already fallen asleep, and there was a vacant position on the right side of her, which was just right for Lin Gongyu to lie on it, which seemed to be prepared for Lin Gongyu.

Lin Gongyu lay down without thinking and slept side by side with Gu Qingsha.

In addition to betting on the beach in the basement that day, this was the first time that Lin Gongyu was so close to Gu Qingsha. Even though the clothes on the two of them were now dyed with the strong smell of the sea, this did not affect the faint fragrance on Gu Qingsha's body wafting into his nose.

Smelling the intoxicating virgin body fragrance, Lin Gongyu was a little intoxicated and couldn't extricate himself.

After a long time, Gu Qingsha's soft question broke the silent atmosphere in the life raft.

"You say...... If we go to sea tomorrow, what is the chance of success? Or what are the odds of surviving? ”

Gu Qingsha's voice revealed a faint confusion, she knew that tomorrow's trip to the sea was actually a big gamble, seventeen coconuts and five bottles of mineral water could provide water that could support their survival for about 14-17 days, while shark jerky could only be kept for 5-7 days at most. After five days, they will have to survive on coconut meat, compressed biscuits and canned food, and if they don't get supplies or rescue in three weeks, they will starve to death in the Pacific.

"There's a 3-50 chance of success." Lin Gongyu responded: "The sea can become good friends with survivors and provide them with all kinds of provisions, but sometimes the sea also has a ruthless side. If we can't be spotted by passing ships or land on other islands to replenish fresh water within two weeks, then from the third week, we will start to show signs of dehydration, and with my constitution I may be able to survive the third week before I die, but you may only survive for 3-5 days without fresh water replenishment. ”

"Plus, there's about a 20 percent chance that we'll drift directly to Australia's coastline with ocean currents, provided we're not too far from Australia, of course."

Lin Gongyu hugged his head and sighed heavily: "This is a big gamble, and the bet is the lives of the two of us." But we don't have a choice. ”

After that, Lin Gongyu turned his head and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Gu Qingsha shook his head slightly: "What is there to be afraid of?" I just feel a little lost. ”

"Really?" Lin Gongyu shook his head and sighed again.

To be honest, for the two of them to take a life raft to the sea tomorrow, intellectually speaking, Lin Gongyu definitely disagrees with this decision, but due to the threat of the fire source, he must give it a go.

Regarding the decision to go to sea, Lin Gongyu said that it was impossible not to worry, after all, he could not guarantee whether he could be rescued before the supplies were exhausted, or land on the islands and the mainland.

However, a few words of conversation with Gu Qingsha made Lin Gongyu suddenly feel that Gu Qingsha didn't seem to have worries and worries about this trip at all. She showed a deep sense of confusion and powerlessness.

If a person is faced with an unknown journey, and this journey is likely to be a journey that will cost you life, and this person does not show due worry, struggle or fear, but falls into a deep confusion, that person has not had the desire to survive, then he has given up on himself.

Thinking of the encounter between Gu Qingsha and himself, Lin Gongyu further determined his inner thoughts. Also, even if she can avenge her father, even if she destroys the family that has plagued her family, can she make the already broken family intact?

No way.

Many Avengers have chosen to commit suicide after avenging their blood revenge, and they find that the belief that has always supported them to grow stronger and move forward has finally been realized one day after countless life and death struggles. Completed what I had always wanted to accomplish. As soon as the refreshing feeling of revenge passed, endless emptiness and confusion came to their hearts, and the thought of suicide suddenly came to them, because they could no longer find the belief to continue to support themselves and the value of continuing to live.

They have lost their purpose in life.

Lin Gongyu suddenly felt as if he had never really understood this woman who had entered the water coldly.

"Hey, Gu Qingsha."

"Huh?"

"In the world of samsara, do you have any goals, beliefs, or ideals?"

Gu Qingsha looked at Lin Gongyu suspiciously: "Target? Ideal? Belief? ”

"Well, for example, my goal is to make the entire Seraphic Team win the reincarnation world, transcend the control of the main god, and finally override the main god."

"Oh." For Lin Gongyu's undisguised ambition and desire, Gu Qingsha responded softly.

"Not yet."

"What about hobbies?"

"Not either."

"Don't you like to drink red wine?"

"This ...... It's a hobby. ”

"Oh."

Lin Gongyu shook his head helplessly, he already had a result in his heart.

(Sure enough, she has no goal at all, no attachment, and no desire to survive, for her, the world of reincarnation is just a place full of mystery and excitement, and she has no idea of becoming stronger when she enters the main god space, and she has no idea of wanting to transcend the main god, she ...... She was just waiting for death, so even in the face of the threat of death, she was just confused. )

(Confusion about life, confusion about life.) )

Early the next morning, Gu Qingsha and Lin Gongyu got up early to make final preparations for their upcoming wandering trip.

Lin Gongyu showed that he found a few slender bamboos to form a triangular bracket, and then tied the broken fishing net found in the sea cave to the center of the bracket, and then he found some palm leaves, used palm leaves to weave the broken fishing net, and filled the hollow part with palm leaves to make a simple handmade sail. Although there are still gaps in the palm fronds, this improvised sail can still withstand the wind.

Then, Lin Gongyu opened the inflatable valve that he was carrying, which had never been activated, and chiseled a hole in the top of the triangular tent, and then inserted the improvised sail into it. With this sail, to a certain extent, Lin Gongyu was able to use the wind of the sea breeze to propel them on.

Moreover, because Lin Gongyu inserted this homemade sail into the life raft tent, he could change direction freely, even if he was headwind, Lin Gongyu could retract the sail in time, which greatly increased the survival rate of the two of them drifting at sea......

When everything is ready. At 9:30 Beijing time, Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha pushed the life raft off the beach and began their long wandering journey.

Even though Lin Gongyu had received some training in wilderness survival, it was the first time for Lin Gongyu to float out to sea with just a life raft and some rudimentary resources, even if he was able to determine his position and formulate a set of escape plans with his rich knowledge and experience. However, it is important to know that the influence of sea breezes, ocean currents and various climatic factors can become unpredictable variables, and it is easy to get lost in the endless sea with no references.

It's just that Lin Gongyu can't care about so much at all.

Lin Gongyu's plan was to travel south, and his purpose was to try his luck and see if he could be lucky enough to meet a passing cargo ship in the Torres Strait, or be able to float directly to some inhabited islands near Australia, even if it was an uninhabited island, and he could only let him land, and he would be able to find supplies with his own hands.

Coincidentally, the leeward side of the island where Lin Gongyu was located happened to be due south, so they didn't waste much effort to drift away from the island and drift south......

After three days of drifting in the Pacific Ocean, Lin Gongyu made a mistake in his budget.

He had planned to last five to seven days of dried sharks after only three days before they began to stink and could no longer be used.

After all, Lin Gongyu used the roughest dried fish processing method, and in addition to the fact that they were near the equator, the sun was scorching and the temperature was high, so the food was naturally not easy to preserve.

So, Lin Gongyu threw all the remaining shark dried sharks into the sea with great regret.

In these three days, Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha opened a total of two cooked coconuts with less juice to replenish water, and during this period, they also used coconut meat with dried shark to satisfy their hunger, so Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha didn't eat much dried shark at all, so Lin Gongyu would be so sorry when he poured the dried shark into the sea. If he had known, he would have concentrated his firepower to destroy those shark jerky first.

The seventh day of the Drifting Day.

Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha have already used five coconuts, and in order to supplement protein, Lin Gongyu also specially opened a can of canned beef to supplement Gu Qingsha, who has been eating coconut meat for a week. However, Lin Gongyu himself did not touch these canned beef with great protein, he just ate his compressed biscuits by himself.

Every day, Lin Gongyu sits on the life raft to penetrate, closely observing the wind direction at sea, if it encounters a headwind, Lin Gongyu quickly takes off the sail on the life raft to prevent the channel of the life raft from being affected by the sea breeze, but if it encounters a tailwind, Lin Gongyu reinserts the sail again, so that the sea breeze becomes a huge help for them to move forward.

However, the sea is like a stinky bitch with an endocrine disorder, and no one can figure out when her period will come and end.

So, in the early morning of the seventh day of drifting on the sea, a violent storm blew on the sea without warning, and the howling wind seemed to be like the cry of the undead, accompanied by large raindrops smashing on the life raft tent and making a "da-da-da" noise, which suddenly woke up Gu Qingsha and Lin Gongyu who were still asleep.

"The storm is coming?" Lin Gongyu felt a stirring feeling and turned over, and quickly unzipped the tent, wanting to take off the sail that was inserted at the top.

But as soon as the zipper was opened, the strong storm seemed to have found a vent, and it rushed into the life raft frantically, blowing so much that Lin Gongyu could hardly open his eyes.

The anxious Lin Gongyu couldn't care so much, he had to take back the sail before it could not bear it, if he lost the sail, then he could only be at the mercy of the sea in the days to come.

So, Lin Gongyu struggled to face the wind, but he had just moved his body out of the life raft and was about to stretch out to take off the sail that was inserted outside, only to hear a "click", and the self-made sail inserted on the top of the tent could not withstand the fierce attack of the storm, and was crushed in the storm, and disappeared into the dark sky with the howling wind.

"it."

Lin Gongyu couldn't help but scold.

He shook off the rain and sat back down on the life raft.

The sails were lost, and their situation suddenly became passive. At least they were completely unable to control the course of the life raft. Although it is a good way to use homemade oars to change course, for Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha, who are short of supplies, such an act is undoubtedly looking for death.

Strenuous exercise consumes a lot of water and physical strength, and Lin Gongyu's reserves are not too much to support such a level of consumption, and he is not stupid enough to believe that his own hands alone can lead the entire life raft to Australia. Therefore, conserving water, physical strength and supplies is their primary consideration. And he didn't even bring the homemade oar on the life raft.

"Gu Qingsha, bring your kettle and those finished coconuts, and we will catch more rain while it is raining now." The leftover coconuts that were eaten by Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha were not thrown away, but piled up in a life raft, and now that the storm is coming, these seven empty coconuts can be used as containers for water.

As a result, the freshwater savings of Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha have increased a lot, and the survival rate has also been greatly improved

Gradually, the storm intensified, and the waves of the Pacific Ocean rolled over and over, and the highest waves could even lift more than ten meters high. The red triangular life raft is like a flat boat, struggling in the center of the undulating storm.

Each wave pushes the life raft up more than ten meters high, and then falls down the waves, and the feeling is like a roller coaster that keeps circulating, and the heart rises and falls.

"You...... Aren't you afraid? ”

After another big upheaval and a big backwardness, Lin Gongyu finally couldn't help but ask Gu Qingsha beside him with an expressionless face.

"Are you afraid?" Gu Qingsha asked rhetorically.

Lin Gongyu shook his head undeniably, and said seriously: "Actually, I think it seems more appropriate for you to scream twice in this situation, and then throw yourself into my arms and hug me tightly." ”

"I'm not Shang Qiyan." Gu Qingsha glanced at Lin Gongyu with slanted eyes: "Moreover, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Lin Gongyu sighed, and the conjecture in his heart became more and more firm. Without goals, obsessions, and desires, this life is like walking with the dead.

"Don't you have a trace of nostalgia or ...... Persistent? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing." Lin Gongyu diverted the topic and said, "I just suddenly felt that if you enter the Immortal Sword World, maybe you can cultivate into a flying immortal in a very short period of time, relying on your heart." ”

"Really?"

Lin Gongyu nodded: "Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm sleeping." Good night. ”

After speaking, Lin Gongyu fell asleep, and it didn't take long for Lin Gongyu's breathing to gradually become even, and he seemed to be asleep.

Listening to Lin Gongyu's breathing, Gu Qingsha admired Lin Gongyu a little, because the side-saving life raft was still lying together with the waves violently, but Lin Gongyu was able to sleep in this environment, Gu Qingsha thought that he didn't have such courage.

The storm lasted for a full four or five hours and then calmed down, and Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha's life raft rose and fell in the waves and did not appear damaged, which was a blessing in misfortune, however, Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha did not know that under the influence of this storm, they had completely deviated from their original course

"We seem to have strayed from the course."

The next morning, Lin Gongyu muttered while checking the time on his watch while pulling the zipper to observe the direction of the sun in the sky.

In the field, there is a way to use a watch to determine the direction by dividing the hours of local time by two, and then pointing the resulting quotient in the direction of the sun, which is north at twelve o'clock.

Using this method, Lin Gongyu found that their course seemed to be heading southeast.

"Let it be......" Gu Qingsha didn't have any special reaction, anyway, the sails had been blown away, and they couldn't change the drifting route of the life raft at all.

"That's all there is to it."

Fifteenth day of sea rafting.

When Lin Gongyu took out the coconut from the space ring and was about to start the only energy supplement of the day, he found that there was only the last coconut left in the space ring, but he did not tell Gu Qingsha the news that the coconut was finished. Lin Gongyu, who sighed, broke the coconut open, ate it with Gu Qingsha, and hastily ended the fifteenth day.

In the early morning of the sixteenth day of sea rafting, Lin Gongyu took out all the remaining materials in the space ring, looking at the five bottles of mineral water, four packs of compressed biscuits and a box of canned beef in his hand, Lin Gongyu sighed heavily, this will be the last guarantee of their lives.

Generally speaking, the daily water intake of normal people should be 2200-2500 ml, but Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha have undergone special training, even if they only consume 200 ml of water per day, there is no big problem for them.

Five bottles of mineral water can still last about eight days, four packs of compressed biscuits, half a pack a day, plus the can of canned beef, maybe enough to last for about ten days, so Lin Gongyu gave Gu Qingsha three bottles of water, two packs of compressed biscuits and a can of canned beef and told her that she must rely on the materials in her hand to support it for at least nine days. Lin Gongyu himself only left two bottles of mineral water and two packets of compressed biscuits.
