Chapter 295: Plans to Go to Sea

Maybe it was the same killer, Lin Gongyu suddenly felt that he and Gu Qingsha had a common topic, so the conversation box began.

"I remember when the instructor trained me in wilderness survival, she took me in a helicopter and threw me into no-man's land all over the world. She only prepared me a packet of compressed biscuits and a 500 ml jug of water and a dagger, with which I had to survive for ten days in all kinds of difficult circumstances. Sometimes it's a polar ice sheet, sometimes it's a desert, sometimes it's a rainforest and a desert. ”

"No wonder you're so sophisticated." Gu Qingsha suddenly realized, and asked again: "Then which killer did you organize it?" ”

"I've also been raised by a private killer organization." Lin Gongyu said lightly: "However, after I finished training under her, I single-handedly destroyed the European Killer Group, the Japanese Ninja Alliance, and the Chinese Assassin Family. Then I'll enter the main god space......"

The two chatted and chatted, and before they knew it, it was already dark.

Suddenly, Lin Gongyu felt that the thin thread in his hand moved, and a slight struggle force came from the end of the thin thread in his hand.

Lin Gongyu was overjoyed, and quickly withdrew the thin thread wrapped around the kettle: "We have dinner tonight." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a fingerprint fish the size of two palms being dragged ashore by a thin line......

Lin Gongyu picked up some dead wood in the jungle casually, set up a bonfire, then cut off the fish head, took out the internal organs, peeled off the fish scales, and roasted the fingerprint fish on the bonfire, while Gu Qingsha returned to the position of the banana tree, and the banana leaves under the bamboo tube had already filled a small half of the banana water, so Gu Qingsha combined the water on the two banana leaves into one and took it away, one banana leaf filled with liquid was enough to replenish the water needed by her and Lin Gongyu, and the water of the other banana leaves could be used by them for tomorrow.

When Gu Qingsha returned to the bonfire with the banana leaves full of water, Lin Gongyu had already roasted the fingerprint fish, which was not too big or small. The two of them ate separately, and although there was no seasoning, everything they ate was fragrant when they were hungry.

After eating and drinking, Lin Gongyu went to the depths of the jungle and cut a thick bamboo with splinters. Bamboo is very tough, so one side of the bamboo can be cut into strips to make a simple hammock.

Lin Gongyu found a shady place under the tree next to Gu Qingsha's life raft and tied the ends of the bamboo to the trunk with nylon ropes. However, because the beach where the two were located was a windward side, the sea breeze would blow fine sand towards Lin Gongyu, so Lin Gongyu had to erect a palm leaf windshield next to the hammock.

Seeing that Lin Gongyu was busy with his campsite, Gu Qingsha wanted to invite him into the life raft to rest, but after thinking about it, the space in the life raft was not too large.

After a busy day, Lin Gongyu lay in a homemade hammock, peeking at the constellations in the night sky through the gaps in the branches and leaves. Gu Qingsha's life raft was not far to his left, and the unextinguished bonfire flames were beating on Lin Gongyu's handsome face, and the sound of insects, the night sky, and the waves of the sea weaved a big net of dreamy night, enveloping everything in the world.

"There's no North Star in sight here, it looks like we're in the Southern Hemisphere." After some observation, Lin Gongyu did not look for the existence of the North Star in the night sky.

Gu Qingsha sat on the edge of the zipper of the life raft, she supported her chin with one hand and muttered: "I'm curious how many days the Lord God has given us, if we wander at sea for ten days and half a month, and after arriving in the United States, we find that the entire United States has become a stronghold of Transformers, then wouldn't we be killing ourselves?" ”

"That's the biggest variable in this film – the unknown. We can only get to the United States in the shortest time possible, but with our current situation, it is obviously a bit difficult, but don't forget, we still have six people on the Seraph, maybe they can get to the United States before us and affect the development of the plot. ”

Lin Gongyu held a palm leaf rhizome in his mouth and said quietly: "What we have to think about now is how to hoard resources on this desert island and then go to sea, there is no other way. ”

"I'm sleepy and sleeping." Dropping a sentence, Gu Qingsha got into the life raft and closed the zipper.

"Well, I'm tired too."

Now Lin Gongyu's physical condition has been reduced to the state of entering the main god space for the first time, and after a busy day, he is also a little tired, so he gently closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of the second day......

Early the next morning, Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha got up early, and the two of them walked around the beach, hoping to find something useful.

Due to the windward side of the beach, sea breezes and waves, and various climatic factors can push some marine debris ashore, no matter how remote the place, there is never a shortage of man-made items. For example, they found several empty plastic bottles on the beach that could be used to hold fresh water.

Later, Gu Qingsha and Lin Gongyu also found a sea karst cave on the west side of the island, and Lin Gongyu decided to go in and investigate. Because the tide will wash all kinds of useful things into the sea cave, and when the tide recedes, these things will also stay in the cave. Therefore, for desert island survivors, the sea cave is undoubtedly like a lottery treasure trove, containing all kinds of surprises and disappointments.

Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha's luck was good, and after exploring the Hairong Cave, Lin Gongyu found a broken fishing net the size of a person in the water storage area.

This is a good thing, although Lin Gongyu does not hope to catch fish with this fishing net, he can use this fishing net to fill the branches and leaves on it to make a simple sail. After all, the ultimate goal of the two of them is to cross the ocean and reach the territory of the United States, and with the sails, their chances of success will be greater.

After leaving the sea cave, Lin Gongyu went into the jungle and chopped a slender bamboo, sharpened one end, and made a simple harpoon. Then the fresh water obtained from the trunk of the banana tree was poured into the plastic bottles picked up on the beach, and five banana leaves filled with fresh water filled two plastic bottles, enough for Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha to meet their water needs for three days.

Since the two of them had to land on a larger island not far away, they had to eat a full meal to refuel before they set off.

There is a wide coral reef underneath this sea area, and the sea water is not deep, if Lin Gong Yu and Gu Qingsha want to reach the larger island opposite, they can completely wade over. There are abundant marine life hidden under the coral reef, so Lin Gongyu plans to go to the coral reef to catch a big guy with fat and delicious meat for a full meal.

But when he first set foot in the reef, he told Gu Qingsha bad news.

There are sharks in the reef!

Sharks like to drive fish into coral reefs in shallow waters, and then enter the shallow waters to hunt for food. But sharks can easily get trapped in shallow water after low tide. Now, Lin Gongyu can observe a shark's fin swimming in shallow water, seemingly prey. Although the shark was still some distance away from Lin Gong Yu and could not threaten them for the time being, this shark roaming in the shallow water was undoubtedly a huge threat to them who wanted to land on the opposite island. God knows if this shark will suddenly attack them.

However, Lin Gongyu focused on predation first, avoiding shark areas and looking for food in a coral reef in shallow waters.

After more than ten minutes of searching, Lin Gongyu found a big lobster under the coral reef, so the homemade bamboo pole harpoon plucked the tentacle tip of the lobster to lure it out of the burrow, and then took advantage of the moment the lobster came out of the hole to stab, instantly piercing the lobster's head.

Returning to the beach with this fat lobster, Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha made a fire and ate a delicious roasted lobster.

After eating and drinking, Lin Gongyu saw that the time was about the same, so he found a small rod and stood in the sun, while looking at the time on his watch, waiting to observe the length of the rod shadow. When the sun reaches the direct point, the shadow of the pole shadow is the shortest, and there is no rod shadow at all, so you only need to record the time of the direct point of the sun to roughly calculate the longitude you are in.

(PS: The protagonist's watch is based on Beijing time.) )

After observing under the scorching sun for more than an hour, the rod shadow was finally shortened to the extreme, and Lin Gongyu immediately raised his watch to check the current time.

It was 11:41 a.m. Beijing time.

Generally speaking, 12 o'clock at noon is the point of direct sunlight, and the direct point of the sun is moving westward every hour, moving 15 degrees of longitude per hour. Beijing is located at 120 degrees east longitude, twelve o'clock is noon, and Lin Gongyu's current position noon time is 10:41, then, according to the method of one hour 15 degrees, 1 hour and 20 minutes≈ 20 degrees then the longitude of Lin Gongyu's position is roughly calculated.

"We are currently located near the equator in the Southern Hemisphere, within 140°E longitude, with an error of no more than 5°"

"Southern Hemisphere, South Equatorial Warm Ocean Current, 140° East Longitude Tropical Rainforest Climate ......" Lin Gongyu pondered for a while and finally came to the conclusion: "Our current position should be the Torres Strait at 10° south latitude and 142° east longitude, sandwiched between the northernmost part of Australia and Papua New Guinea......

"The Torres Strait is located in the western Pacific Ocean, and the United States is to the northeast of us, and if we want to reach American territory, we have to cross the entire Pacific Ocean, but this is a pipe dream, and we are afraid that we will die of thirst on a life raft before we reach the United States."

"Then we can go south and get to Australia first, and then fly from Australia to the United States." Lin Gongyu pondered for a while and then threw the small branch in his hand and made a decision.

Gu Qingsha stood on the beach and stared at the sea, and under the sunlight, she was able to peek at the coral reef below from the blue and clear sea.

"At present, the area we are in is the shallow water of the Coral Sea in the Torres Strait, the water level is shallow, there are many reefs, and this should be a no-sail zone."

Lin Gongyu nodded: "That's right, even so, the Torres Strait is still an important international sea lane. As long as we move towards deep water, then we may be rescued by passing ships at sea. ”

After speaking, Lin Gongyu pointed to the much larger island opposite and said, "We must land on that island today, and then collect food and fresh water resources on the island. If we're lucky enough to collect enough food and fresh water, we'll be able to set sail on a life raft tomorrow. But if the island's resources are similarly scarce, then we'll have to look elsewhere. ”

"Gu Qingsha, do you have a sniper rifle?"

"Well, in my spatial ring." Gu Qingsha turned the ring on her hand and said.

"Very well, I'll lure the shark out of the shallow waters, and you'll be in charge of sniping it." Lin Gongyu rubbed his hands and said, "We can eat fresh shark meat tonight, shark meat is a good source of protein."

"Understood."

Gu Qingsha took out the GN particle sniper rifle from the space ring, set up the gun mount, adjusted the angle and aimed at the shallow water with his crosshair.

Lin Gongyu took out the dagger, made a deep scratch on his palm, and then walked to the shallow water area and plunged the bleeding palm into the sea.

Sharks are very sensitive to the smell of blood, and this shark is not far from Lin Gongyu, and soon, the shark that smells the smell of blood is like a drug addict seeing drugs, and swims frantically towards the source of blood.

Watching the pointed shark fins rise to the surface of the sea, it quickly swept towards Lin Gongyu. Lin Gongyu didn't have any panic, he stood in place very calmly, quietly watching the shark approaching him little by little. Just when the shark was only ten meters away from Lin Gongyu, I saw a pink beam of light flash like a meteor, swishing through the head of the shark moving towards Lin Gongyu at high speed.

"Exactly." After Lin Gongyu praised it, he strode in the direction of the shark corpse, grabbed the tail of the shark that was killed by Gu Qingsha, and then dragged it ashore.

Gu Qingsha's headshot was a small shark with a body length of only 2.1 meters, but the amount of meat in this shark was enough for Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha to eat for a long time.

After hunting the lost little shark, Gu Qingsha and Lin Gongyu worked together to carry the shark onto the life raft, and the two found two thick branches, cut them into simple oars with splinters, and then pushed the life raft into the water and headed towards the opposite island.

After about 10 minutes of paddling, the life raft finally landed on the beach of the larger island.

Stepping off the life raft, Lin Gongyu looked around, and when he saw the rows of towering plants growing on the edge of the beach, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

"Coconut trees, for survivors, it's a blessing to find these." Lin Gongyu showed a relaxed smile at Gu Qingsha: "It seems that we will be on the road tomorrow, and now all we have to do is fill our space ring with coconuts." ”

For desert island survivors, coconut is undoubtedly the best source of food.

Coconuts are rich in water, with a large coconut water containing at least one liter of water, more electrolytes than a bottle of sports drink, and more potassium than bananas. Coconut meat also contains protein, which can help people with vitality and tolerate hunger after consumption.

The coconuts that can quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger are simply tailor-made food reserves for Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha to go to sea, so the two of them began to frantically sweep the coconuts on the desert island.

Although the trunk of the coconut tree is tall and difficult to climb, it can be easily climbed to the top with the help of the reverse force, pushing the feet outward and the hands back.

Half an hour later, the coconut trees standing on the edge of the beach had been swept away by Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha, with a total of seventeen coconuts, large and small, and some of them were not yet ripe. However, those green, unripe coconuts are picked by Lin Gongyu, because these underripe coconuts contain the most water, and they require more fresh water than food.

After putting a total of seventeen coconuts into the space ring, Lin Gongyu and Gu Qingsha began to attack the shark they hunted today.

They skinned the shark, then cut the shark meat into slender pieces according to the texture, and then, Lin Gongyu used the chips to cut the upper half of his kettle into a small pot, and then set up a bonfire, boiled the shark meat with seawater, boiled for 30 minutes, and then took out the shark meat and roasted it dry over the fire, so that the shark jerky could be kept for a long time, and this shark jerky would become the staple food of Gu Qingsha and Lin Gongyu during their drifting at sea.

However, due to the small volume of Lin Gongyu's kettle and the excessive amount of shark meat, the score was scored many times, and it was not until it was completely dark that the two of them completely made the shark meat into barbecue jerky.

Originally, Lin Gongyu planned to store these shark jerky in the space ring, because the space in the space ring belonged to another space, and the shark meat would not deteriorate at all if they put it in, and the amount of shark meat was enough for them to eat for almost a month.

However, when Lin Gongyu began to stuff the shark jerky into the space ring, he was told by the main god that the shelf life of all the food stored in the space ring would be calculated according to the normal shelf life of the food, and the space ring could not preserve food for a long time.

Although it was a little unexpected, it was still within the scope of acceptance, because the key word of this main quest is survival, so as a space ring that can store items, it has become a BUG prop, and the main god has not banned the use of space storage props, which has made Lin Gongyu feel very happy.

Given that the next day was about to start drifting, both decided to take a good rest and recharge their batteries.

Lin Gongyu saw that it was dark, and he didn't have the idea of making a hammock again, so he simply leaned next to the coconut tree, planning to sleep by the tree all night. And Gu Qingsha is still sleeping in her life raft.

"Hey, are you asleep?" Just as Lin Gongyu was looking up at the starry sky and was stunned, Gu Qingsha's voice suddenly came from the life raft.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Come in and sleep." Gu Qingsha's cold voice floated into his ears.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the zipper on the life raft be opened, as if it was an undeniable order.
