Chapter 16: I Am the Number One in the World
After climbing the high rocks, the first thing Hu Kai saw was the Neptune docked on the coast. The huge cruise ship just parked silently on the sea, like a ghost ship that can only be seen in a movie.
Although the distance is far, Hu Kai can see the situation on the deck clearly.
It turned out that those who remained on the ship did not escape, and all of them were electrocuted alive on the deck. The corpse was exposed to the sun like that, and it looked terrifying.
"What's wrong, Mr. Hu?" Seeing that Hu Kai's face was wrong, Tingting was also very nervous.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Hu Kai didn't know how to describe what he saw to her, so he had to be perfunctory for the time being, and then turned his head and looked at the whole land.
Gee......
After just one glance, Hu Kai already felt bad.
However, the shoreline tightens farther on both sides, and when you look farther through the trees, you can faintly see the reflection from the sea. These two points are enough to show that the place where they are located, despite its small size, is still an island!
This is one of the worse outcomes that Hu Kai had envisioned before. An island means a scarcity of resources and a distance from land. If he can't find the local people from the island, then he has to think about getting back on that terrifying cruise ship.
Next, Hu Kai tried to call his mobile phone on the top of the stone, but there was no doubt that the mobile phone still had no signal.
However, Hu Kai's findings are not all bad news.
After some careful observation, he found that the island was high in the west and low in the east. There is a depression in the east, that is, on the right hand side of yourself. And in that depression, there is a faint building in the shape of a water tower.
Since there are human structures, it means that there may be human habitation on this island.
That's the case, Hu Kai immediately decided to go there to check it out.
Tingting naturally had no opinion, and the two immediately packed their things and prepared to go.
Before leaving, Hu Kai looked at his watch, it was 5 o'clock in the morning. The announcement on the ship asked them to return to the cruise ship in 36 hours, that is, by 12 noon tomorrow.
During this period, they still had 31 hours of available time, and Hu Kai roughly estimated that such a long time, even if they made a round trip from this small island, it would be enough.
"Let's go!"
Ready, Hu Kai led Tingting and walked down the road on the right.
Tingting saw that there were the most footprints on this road, so she said to Hu Kai: "It seems that last night, most people made the right choice!" ”
Hu Kai originally wanted to say that our choice may not necessarily be correct. But when the words came to his lips, he was afraid of damaging Tingting's morale, so he couldn't help but say it.
"Teacher Hu, you say, will those people really be rescued?" Tingting pondered as she walked, "Why didn't anyone go back?" ”
"I hope so!" Hu Kai continued, "The place we went to was relatively low-lying, and it was easier to find drinking water there. I reckon that even if the people in front of me don't find help, they can still find a water source. Perhaps, after they got tired of walking, they were resting and adjusting in front, right? ”
In this way, the two of them expressed their opinions while following the footprints left by the tourists in front of them.
Because the two of them had eaten before, they had rested for another hour, and they were walking very easily at the moment, and for a while, they even gave Hu Kai the illusion that he was traveling outdoors.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a steep cliff blocked the way, and they could only burrow into the woods to continue their journey.
Along the way, Hu Kai did not rush forward, but would occasionally stop to observe the surrounding environment and pick some seemingly ordinary plants.
Seeing Hu Kai put those plants into a plastic bag, Tingting asked curiously, what are those things?
Hu Kai told her that these are edible plants, such as dandelions, and this horseradish grass, although it is not very tasty, but they are rich in vitamin C, which can save life at critical moments. Now that our situation is unknown, it naturally does no harm to store a little more food.
"Oh......"
Tingting listened attentively, and admired Mr. Hu's extensive knowledge even more.
Hu Kai seemed to be willing to preach, so he continued: "In addition to these, in an emergency, ants, bees, spiders, locusts, etc., can also be caught and eaten!" ”
"Phew! It's disgusting! Tingting pouted, "Where did you learn all this?" ”
"Haven't you seen Master Bei's wilderness survival?" Hu Kai said with a slight look, "This is nothing, in order to survive, people even squeeze water from elephant dung to drink!" ”
"Woo...... Don't talk about it! Tingting pinched her nose, "I'm about to throw up!" ”
Hu Kai wanted to tease the little girl a few more words, but suddenly saw something, hurriedly pointed to the distance, and said excitedly to Tingting:
"And voila! Willow! ”
Tingting put her hand on Hu Kai's shoulder, jumped and looked into the distance, and sure enough, in the lower place, she saw a large area of crooked willow trees.
"Willow trees generally grow where there is a water source!" Hu Kai hurriedly walked there with Tingting, and at the same time said, "Look, there must be a stream ahead!" Oh, and by the way, fresh willow buds can also be eaten and are very nutritious. ”
As they spoke, it took them only a few minutes to come to the willow grove, and when they looked down, there was indeed a clear stream.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Tingting admired excitedly while following Hu Kai towards the stream.
Hu Kai bent down and tasted the cool stream water, and said with certainty, it was fresh water! It should have flowed down from the height of the island and could be drunk directly!
Tingting saw that Hu Kai drank the stream water, so she also took a handful of it herself and took a sip.
Who knows, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of music from the upper reaches of the creek!
The music was not too loud, but it was very real, and you could even hear the drum kit and the electric guitar.
Hu Kai and Tingting heard the music at the same time, and hurriedly stood quietly by the water, listening carefully.
A few seconds later, accompanied by the music, there was even a singing voice.
"Oh! Oh, I hear that! Tingting suddenly said, "Isn't this Andy Lau's "The World's First"? ”
When Tingting spoke, Hu Kai also heard the lyrics clearly:
"Don't complain about the sky, Mo Youren, fate is a lifetime ......"
is not only really "The First Class in the World", but also the original sound of Liu Tianwang.
Hey?
What's the situation?
"Mobile phone, it's mobile phone!" Tingting was the first to think of the answer, and hurriedly said, "There are people up there!" ”
Speaking of this, the two of them looked towards the upper reaches of the stream, but saw that not far from the upper reaches of the stream was a waterfall of less than two meters, which just blocked their view.
While the two of them were watching, a white mobile phone really floated down from the high upstream, and although the mobile phone was floating in the water, it continued to sing:
“…… If you want to talk about feelings, I am the world's first-class ......"
The appearance of the mobile phone did not surprise the two, but what shocked Hu Kai and Tingting was that there was another person who came down with the mobile phone!!
