Chapter 1 The Island

What kind of thoughts do people have in their minds when they are in a crisis?

Ye Ming didn't know.

All he knew was that when he found himself in the middle of an ocean, his mind went blank.

The sea choked on the nose, and the salty smell was frightening.

No matter how much you struggle, it doesn't seem to change the fact that someone is a landlubber.

What's more, in a sea where you can't see the edge at a glance, even if you can swim, what's the use?

Useless......

The last thought flashed through his mind, and the boy's consciousness gradually blurred and disappeared.

…………

When he opened his eyes again, Ye Ming had a terrible headache.

It felt like the whole world was spinning, and the world was turned upside down.

Is this what it feels like after drowning?

Covering his head, Ye Ming tried to concentrate and looked around.

It's a sandy beach.

It looks like he must have been washed here by the sea.

It's really lucky, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing...... Probably.

Ye Ming struggled to stand up.

The raindrops the size of beans hit him, the wind howled, and his soaked body felt cold.

It was really bad weather.

A faint cry seemed to be heard in his ears, but it was muffled by the sound of thunder and rain, and Ye Ming couldn't figure out where the sound came from.

Shaking his head, trying to concentrate his mind, the boy opened his eyes wide and looked not far away.

On the ground there, a drenched figure lay down.

The cry came out of her mouth.

Looking at the other party's gaze, you can still see faint lights, and there should still be other people.

In other words, this shipwreck is not just a tragedy for him.

"Inexplicable things, inexplicable places."

Wiping a handful of the rain on his face, Ye Ming sighed, took some difficult steps, and walked over there.

But he clearly overestimated his physical condition.

As soon as he took a step, a feeling of dizziness came to his mind, and with a pop, his whole person had another intimate contact with the ground.

"Damn."

Fortunately, he closed his mouth tightly before he fell, otherwise this mouthful of sand would not have been able to run.

After struggling for a while, Ye Ming felt that his physical strength had really reached a limit.

It's also to blame that he usually stays at home and rarely exercises, otherwise he wouldn't be so miserable.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Ming crawled with difficulty, his body dragged a trace on the beach, and it took a long time to come to a protruding mountain rock not far away, leaning against the stone wall, gasping violently.

At least there is no rain here.

The soreness and weakness of his body made him not want to move.

A feeling of exhaustion hit him, his eyes were dizzy, and when he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep coma again.

……

The second time I woke up, it was already daylight.

The rain stopped.

But Ye Ming's state was even worse than yesterday.

Because he found out that he had a fever.

Run a fever...... In this place, under such circumstances, the fever is simply a fatal situation.

"Water ......"

The throat was dry like something, as if there was a fire burning in the throat.

The situation was already very dehydrated in the case of fever, and yesterday's shipwreck caused him to swallow several mouthfuls of salty seawater, which was even more serious.

Ye Ming stood up with difficulty on the rock wall behind him, his eyes looking in the direction where the figure was yesterday.

Nothing.

Looks like those people must have left here.

After all, with such heavy rain, it is impossible to stand here all the time.

That's a pretty bad situation.

He had hoped to get some help from those people, but it was clear that it was really just a wish.

"Water...... Clean water, distilled words...... Fire is needed. ”

With his head turning quickly, Ye Ming slowly walked towards the island.

Whether it was water, fire, or any other tool, it was something he didn't have right now.

If you don't want to die, you can only hope that this is not a pure desert island.

No...... It doesn't matter if it's a desert island, as long as you can find a suitable water source for drinking......

The fever temperature at this moment is not too high, Ye Ming can still keep thinking normally, he only hopes that he can find what he needs before he loses consciousness, otherwise he will really have to wait for death.

In order to survive, human beings can indeed burst out of 120% of their potential.

At least if it was the original Ye Ming, he would definitely not grit his teeth and fight hard in this state.

"That's ......"

I don't know how long I walked, Ye Ming, who didn't have much concept of time because of a fever, found something.

They were hung from a tree with a rope like a silkworm chrysalis.

That seems to be ...... Person?

After being stunned for a moment, Ye Ming came closer.

This time he could clearly see what was hanging from the tree.

That's right, personal...... A dead man.

On his head and feet, he was hung from a tree with a hemp rope, which was obviously not a suicide.

A sense of crisis surged into Ye Ming's heart.

He suddenly felt ...... The danger that awaits me on this small island seems to be much more than I thought.

Some nervously looked left and right, and the boy was a little worried about whether something strange would suddenly pop out of the surroundings.

But apparently he was overthinking.

Aside from the occasional birdsong, there was no movement around.

Feeling a little calmer, Ye Ming hesitated, came to the side, and untied the hemp rope tied to the trunk.

With a pop, the body fell.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Ye Ming came to the corpse, stretched out his hand and began to search for him.

There was a leather backpack on the corpse's body.

It contained some coins, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, a flashlight, and a Swiss Army knife.

There was no medicine he needed most, which made Ye Ming a little disappointed.

But these things are also useful, so he doesn't hesitate to keep them all for himself.

"You're dead anyway, so let's make a contribution to the living...... Thank you. ”

After saying this to the corpse, Ye Ming's eyes looked at the blade that was inserted in the other party's heart.

Cut off the hemp rope with a Swiss Army knife, wrap it around the place where it should have been the handle, and after tying the knot, the boy pulled it out with a strong force.

There was no blood spilled, and it looked like the guy had been dead for some time.

Ye Ming took the homemade weapon in front of him and looked at it.

This shape and length feels a bit like that long-handled eyebrow knife, and it should be the exclusive weapon of the spearman.

Holding it like this as a machete in his hand was a bit too short.

But it's better than no weapon at all, which somewhat gives Ye Ming some sense of security.

Holding it in his hand, the young man's eyes looked not far away.

There, there is a small cabin.

Ye Ming looked at the corpse at his feet, a little hesitant.

To go, or not to go, that's the question.

He was a little worried that it was where the murderer was, and that there must be danger.

But the house must have had what he needed.

Medicine, fresh water, and food were all the survival materials he urgently needed at the moment, and with his current state, if he continued to wander outside, he would probably be dead before he could find all these things.

So...... Go!

I haven't moved here for so long, and there must be no one.

A hint of firmness flashed in his eyes, Ye Ming slowed down his steps and walked cautiously towards that side.

The shoddy machete in his hand was tightly grasped by him.

The moment he pushed the door open, he tensed up, ready to swing his knife at any moment.

But there was no one in the house.

"Whew-" With a sigh of relief, Ye Ming's nerves suddenly relaxed a lot.

When he looked at the first aid kit placed on the table and the water jug next to it, a hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes.

Sure enough, the heavens will not kill me.

Quickly run over and open the first aid kit.

Bandages, alcohol, masks, scissors, pliers......

He was a little surprised when he saw aspirin, in fact, Ye Ming just wanted to find the ice pack.

However, if there is a fever reducer, it will definitely be more effective than ice packs.

Without hesitation, he took out two pills and swallowed them, and then picked up the jug and poured it violently.

There was never a moment in his life when he felt how delicious fresh water was.
