Chapter 348: The Wind Rises
Seagulls are a common seabird on islands and along the coastline, feeding on fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish, and are also known as 'harbour cleaners' because they pick up small fish and shrimp discarded by the ship's crew and leftovers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They generally forage for food in the coastal sea, so when they heard the call of seagulls, Mo Ran was so energetic.
He didn't know how seagulls could fly, but he knew that if there was a flock of seagulls around for a long time, there would be islands not far away.
They can drift away from land for a while, but even if seabirds are good at flying, they need a place to rest on the way, and where can they find driftwood or anything like that in the vast sea?
At least this is what people and seabirds eat, and if they don't have a boat, there is only one word on the endless sea - death.
The sound of the waves crashing on the shore was not heard, but the birdsong that came from afar was very obvious in the silence of the night, and even if the sound of the waves was mixed in, it could not be concealed.
But Mo Ran just listened carefully, and didn't call everyone up to get excited with him, because that would be meaningless.
Trying to find a desert island on the sea at night without the slightest sign is purely teasing people. What's more, some reefs may not be visible in the daytime, let alone at night, when they really run into it, with the strength of a small speedboat like theirs, they really have to take a break.
What's more, the speedboat they drive can at most sail on the sea, and the endurance is not very good, and it can't be compared with the big ships, without anchors, they can't be fixed on the sea, and they can only go with the flow, so if they stop for the night, they need to be repositioned the next day.
Because of this, they were able to stop before sunset and float with the current, allowing them to stumble upon the possibility of a desert island.
Although there were no comparisons around, Mo Ran could feel that they had drifted far away with the current, but even so, Mo Ran was no longer worried, at the current speed of drifting, it was impossible to run too far, and now it was not long before dawn, as long as the sea fog dissipated tomorrow, it would not be difficult to find that desert island.
When the morning sun pierced the faint mist and left a touch of phantom on the clear sea, Mo Ran woke up all the sleeping teammates one by one, their fuel was constantly too much, although after correcting the direction, it was not difficult to go back, but now we had to find the desert island first.
It is unforgivable stupidity for anyone to want to pass by when they are so close to success.
After listening to Mo Ran's discovery last night, everyone was excited, originally they all thought that this three-day search would end in vain and return in vain, who knew that they would have a chance when they were about to leave.
When the sea fog had subsided, Mo Ran led them and began to search the surroundings according to his memories.
Not to mention, although it was only a few hours of drifting, it was really difficult to find it, they easily recognized the direction according to Mo Ran's description, but they walked slowly all the way and found nothing, let alone the island, even the seabirds did not find one.
In the end, Mo Ran himself began to wonder if he had auditory hallucinations last night, but he felt that he should be awake at that time, and this kind of oolong thing should not have happened to him.
But it is undeniable that even the strongest person will have loopholes, let alone him?
The wind is gradually picking up on the sea, and the humidity is tight. Having lived at sea for so long, they have some experience anyway, Mo Ran knows that this is not a good thing, don't look at the warm sun now, at the latest this evening, there will be a storm, with their current distance, if they know the direction and go full speed ahead, it should not be too miserable, but if it is unfortunate, it is still very possible to become a soup chicken.
But if they start to set off now, it shouldn't be a big problem, the storm needs a brewing process, which gives them the opportunity to return safely, if they keep grinding and chirping, it is still very dangerous to face the storm on the sea without the village and the store.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Mo Ran, he was the leader of the Eight Classics, no matter what time he had to make his idea, others could make suggestions, but they couldn't have much impact on the final result.
"What should I do?" everyone looked at Mo Ran with the same sentence hidden in their eyes.
After thinking about it for a while and looking at the weather again, Mo Ran finally decided to look for it.
This multiple-choice question is not difficult to choose, if he didn't find anything last night, everything is not a problem, it is just empty and empty.
But now it was different, seeing that the storm was coming, if he couldn't return as soon as possible, then he had to be prepared to deal with the storm, he didn't think about riding the wind and waves on the raging sea, with their small tonnage, it was purely looking for death.
However, if they are lucky enough to find the desert island, then all this is not a problem, and their speedboat carries some equipment for self-rescue and survival in the wilderness, and it is not a problem to find a suitable location to deal with the past storm.
The real threat of stormy weather is on the sea, and there is not much harm on land, unless it is a strong super-strong air pressure that forms a typhoon or other violent weather on the sea, otherwise they can rest assured.
If there really is a typhoon or something, then they should give up resistance, and face the typhoon on the sea? What kind of international joke are they making with these two little runabouts?
Even a megaton ship would dare to face it?
The wind blew, bringing gloom to their mood but also helping them, when the wind was blowing, the sea fog dissipated quickly, and the sun soon shone on their bodies, and the warm feeling instantly spread throughout the body, dispelling the coldness of the night.
But who would have thought that the seemingly cloudless, blue sky would soon be cloudy?
The sea fog is blown away, like a wisp of smoke, which comes and goes without a trace.
The sunlight provided a good environment for their sight, and when they saw everything around them, they almost wanted to scold their mother, only to see that their right rear was not too far away, a lonely island stood there, wasting their time for so long, if it weren't for the sea fog dissipating, they didn't know how long they would have to walk, and their eggs hurt so much that they didn't have to do it.
Seeing this island, they were relieved, even if the storm came, it would not have much impact, and the food and water they brought on the boat were still sufficient.
If you are not in a hurry to go back, you naturally do not have to worry about the danger of storms on the road.
