Chapter 125: The corpse has been defrauded
(I saw someone say that you won't die of cold in the sea? Explained countless times, the South Pacific, tropical maritime climate, rainy season, average temperature 32 degrees Celsius. It's a big head. )
In fact, Ye Xuan still had many doubts in his heart, who was the owner of this ship, how long it had been drifting on the sea, why there were no bones of a person on it, what was powering it, and what was the purpose of building such a ship...
There are too many suspicions, like layers of mist, shrouding the ship in it, making it impossible to see the truth.
If conditions allow, he really wants to stay on the ship and unravel its mystery little by little. But it's a pity that his situation is not good, and the most important thing at the moment is to save his life.
Hopefully, this book, which is suspected to be a diary, will bring some useful information.
Looking down at the wooden box in his arms, Ye Xuan slid his right hand and slowly swam in the direction of Fiji.
The wooden box was very heavy, and it needed to be held with one hand, so Ye Xuan could only use the method of side-swimming to move forward. Sidestroke can effectively save physical strength, and it is a method often used when holding objects or rescuing drowning people, with many advantages and obvious disadvantages, that is, the speed is very slow.
Of course, he didn't expect to be able to travel all the way to Fiji. If you want to be rescued, you still have to rely on rescue. So, the difference between fast and unpleasant is not much. The mobile phone may have a signal at this time, but it is out of battery, mainly because the flashlight mode is too power-intensive, and most of the remaining power of the mobile phone is consumed in more than half an hour under the cabin.
If you are shipwrecked in the vast sea, do not actively swim unless you can see the land islands with the naked eye. Preserving physical strength is the most important thing, and if you can survive for one more minute, you will have more possibilities to encounter rescue. So Ye Xuan swam for a few minutes, then floated on his back on the sea to rest, and at the same time recovered his strength, letting the waves slowly carry him forward.
After drifting like this for more than three hours, the time came to more than two o'clock in the afternoon.
The scorching sun dispelled the coolness brought by the storm and raised the sea temperature.
At this time, he noticed that there seemed to be something in front of him, rising and falling with the waves. When he saw it clearly, he was immediately excited, because it was his backpack.
Swimming over quickly, Ye Xuan grabbed his backpack, and finally put down the big stone hanging high in his heart.
If you find your backpack, you can use a satellite phone to call for help, and your life can be saved. Thanks to the fact that I didn't save money when I bought the equipment, I bought a waterproof backpack that was serious.
Unexpectedly, it cost thousands of dollars more at that time, not only saved tens of thousands of drones, but also saved his own life.
Carrying the backpack to his chest, he lifted the box out of the water, opened it carefully, and then took out the parchment inside, unzipped the backpack and stuffed it in. After throwing away the heavy box, he suddenly felt much more relaxed, and the added buoyancy of the backpack in front of him allowed him to float comfortably on the water.
"What's the phone number of the Fiji search and rescue team?" When he was about to take out the satellite phone for help, Ye Xuan was suddenly stunned.
Before he came, he had remembered the phone number of the search and rescue team, but now he can't remember it for a while. But this didn't stump him, after all, he really couldn't think of it, and he could call China and ask them to help convey it to the Fiji search and rescue team. It's just that it's cumbersome and time-consuming.
"Dada!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan seemed to vaguely hear the sound of the motor.
There's a boat! And it's not far away!
This discovery surprised him, and he hurriedly looked around, followed the direction of the sound, and saw that about seven or eight hundred meters in front of him, there was a fishing boat moving.
"Hey!Help!"
Ye Xuan shouted as he waved his hands, trying to step on the water under his feet, exposing his body to the sea as much as possible.
Seeing that the people on the fishing boat didn't seem to find him, he couldn't care about saving his strength, and hurriedly swam forward. It's just that his speed is completely incomparable with that of a fishing boat, and in ten seconds, the distance between the two is pulled apart again.
No, if this continues, the distance between the two sides will be getting farther and farther apart.
Ye Xuan stopped, his brain racing, trying to think about how to get the attention of the fishing boat. Such a good chance to be rescued, once missed, no one knows when the next rescue will come.
After a while, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, and he took out the dagger on his leg and held it on the water. At the same time, the other hand stretches out two fingers, likened to a V-shape, and places them in front of the dagger. The angle of the dagger has been adjusted so that the sunlight can be refracted to the fishing boat in front of it.
This is a standard distress gesture at sea, and compared to sound, refracted light can travel far on the open sea, and the reason why the two fingers are stretched out is because after refraction, a shadow will be formed on it. Experienced sailors and fishermen will know that this is a distress signal, not a bright light reflected off the sea.
Sure enough, after using this method, the fishing boat began to turn around and quickly sailed towards Ye Xuan's position.
He was relieved to see the fishing boat getting closer and closer.
The fishing boat is very old, and the motor seems to have been used for many years, making a lot of noise. But thanks to the noise of the motor, he might not have been able to spot the fishing boat.
It could be seen that the owner of the fishing boat was very experienced, so he stopped the boat ten meters away from Ye Xuan, and then threw out a lifebuoy tied to a rope.
Pulling the lifebuoy all the way to the fishing boat, Ye Xuan said gratefully: "Thank you so much, thank you." ”
The owner of the fishing boat is an old man with a gray beard, who has been exposed to strong ultraviolet rays all year round, making him look like a real black African.
In the face of his sincere gratitude, the old fishing boat owner seemed to have become accustomed to it, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said in proficient English: "Young man, I remember you. I rented a fishing boat from Ruya the other day, right?"
"Ruya? I did charter a boat the other day, but I don't know his name. Ye Xuan was stunned.
"He's my youngest son. ”
Feelings are a family!
When he went to sea, he rented Luya's boat, but when he came back, he was rescued by his Lao Tzu, which is really fate.
"Thank you very much anyway. Also, can you give me Nandy?" Ye Xuan said, opened his backpack, took out $400 from the mezzanine and handed it over.
Foreign cultures are different from Huaxia, friends are one thing, money is another, not to mention that Ye Xuan is not his friend. And from here to Nandi, it will take several hours, which will definitely delay the fishing. For fishermen, delaying the catch is delaying money. Therefore, he should give this money for all reason.
"No problem. The old fishing boat owner was not embarrassed in the slightest, and naturally took the money, counted it in front of him, and then showed a satisfied smile, "No wonder Ruyana kid said that you were very generous." ”
Under his control, the fishing boat turned around, drove at full speed, and headed for Nadi.
After resting in the fishing boat for a while, Ye Xuan rubbed his face, took out the power bank and plugged in his mobile phone, then started the drone and reopened the live broadcast room.
As the live broadcast room reopened, tens of thousands of viewers poured in. Countless barrages have been trained into dark clouds, covering the picture firmly.
"it, it's a corpse!"
"It's amazing that my patriarch didn't die. ”
"It's finally on the air, and I almost thought that the anchor was brought by the dog. ”
"The ship, why is it gone?"
"Obediently, it's finally on the air, and I'm almost crying. ”
"Did the patriarch get on the boat, did he see any ghosts?"
"More than 8 hours, do you know how I lived? I've been playing Blue Moon, do you know how fun it is?"
"I'm also playing, and I just broke up Zhang Jiahui. Chen Xiaochun said that he would take me to Xiangjiang to watch the game. ”
"Please, don't show it off, I'm dizzy. ”
