Liu Tianyun woke up. He found himself lying on his back in a small boat, facing a gloomy sky hidden by thick clouds. The waves were very strong, and the boat was very bumpy. He tried to get up, but found that the pain in his shoulder was unbearable, and he couldn't move at all, so he simply lay down again. The scene that had just happened on the "Base Port" came back to his mind, and he could no longer care about the pain in his body, and climbed up with his hands on the boat.

The surroundings were empty, and not a single boat was in sight of passing by, except for the occasional seagull flying in the sky nearby. He subconsciously looked down at his wrist before remembering that he wasn't wearing a watch at all. I don't know how long the "Kibu" had been walking after leaving him, when he realized that he had been wearing an orange life jacket at some point, and the backpack they had taken had been thrown at his heels, and a brand new, unopened oar had been thrown in the cabin. He hurriedly crawled over and pulled his backpack over. When I opened it, the materials were gone, and the paintings were gone. However, the self-defense pistol that Xiaowei took away from him was put back in his bag. There was also a compass, a pair of binoculars, and a couple of cans and mineral water in the bag. There is also a piece of paper on which is written with a pen:

"There are no necessary ideals, and there are no accidental realities. Let's try to live, this is the most realistic ideal. Use the guide to keep paddling towards the east, and you will see the land, don't give up.

The gun is returned to you. If you encounter a sea policeman, be sure to lay down your arms, do not resist, and apply for ambulance on the spot as a refugee.

Your compatriots. ”

Liu Tianyun gritted his teeth in anger, and he slapped the boat gang hard in annoyance, "Shameless! ", he scolded resentfully. At the moment, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know which direction Yangon was in. He had never really rowed a boat, and the only time he had gone to the park with Mu Zikuan and them when he was studying in Bangkok. Now, he really felt what it meant to be worse off than dead, and he would rather be shot dead on the "base port" just now. He took out the compass and realized that the bow of the ship was facing southeast. He stuck the oar into the water and paddled hard, only to find that the boat was spinning in circles and not going in the direction he had expected.

Gradually, fear and loneliness triumphed over anger. The desire to survive became stronger than ever, which made Liu Tianyun calm down. He inserted the oars into the water again, constantly changing the position of the oars into the water, and with each stroke, he observed the direction of the boat's movement, and finally realized that the oars were too close to the hull of the boat, and the water was too deep. He readjusted his paddle posture, and the boat finally moved forward as he wished. He was refreshed, took out his compass again, pointed the bow of the boat to the east, and began to row vigorously.

The "Rod Cond" is a minesweeper ordered by the Thai Navy from the Ingalls Shipyard in the United States, which was transferred by the Thai Coast Guard when it was close to decommissioning, and has now become a treasure of the coast guard. With a full load displacement of 1,100 tons, it is already the top size of a minesweeper. But it searched the sea for nearly an hour and still found nothing.

At 10:30 a.m., the Thai Coast Guard Duty Department received a report from a South Korean freighter passing by nearby waters that a lifeboat had been spotted eight nautical miles west of the Mergui Islands, and that there seemed to be people moving on it. The specific orientation is in the sea area east of the Andaman Sea. The South Korean freighter was not familiar with the nearby waters, so it was unable to carry out rescue operations. The Coast Guard happened to have a supply base in the Mergui Archipelago, and after receiving the report, it quickly dispatched the "Rod Cond" and "Weasel" helicopters to search the sea area, and notified nearby fishing boats to pay attention to the situation by radio, and immediately reported the situation.

Captain Gada put down his binoculars and wondered, Whe

… He stared at the sea, and his mind suddenly lit up. Currents! The Andaman Sea runs from north to south, and the currents here run from south to north. If the person in the lifeboat steers the boat to the east, the boat will move in a southeasterly direction. Looks like we're going to have to search in that direction!

“Let’s head southeast! ”

“Aye aye, si

!”

Liu Tianyun didn't know how long he had been paddling, the pain in his shoulder had become numb, but his physical strength was getting weaker and weaker, and his stomach was hungry. It's just that when he thinks of Mu Zikuan, he can't help but feel anxious in his heart. I don't know how long it was, but he looked up and seemed to see a few dark shadows in front of him. He took out the binoculars from his bag and saw that there were several small islands! He couldn't help but get excited, immediately put down the oars, took out the canned food that Xiaowei had left him from his bag, and looked at it, it was still "Mlin" brand luncheon meat. He opened the can and gulped it down. As long as you have the stamina, you can eventually return to Yangon or Saigon, and when you get there, it will be much easier to find Mu Zikuan! He remembered the note left by Xiao Wei and them, took it out and looked at it again, and couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude in his heart. yes, you have to find a way to stay alive first.

In one go, a box of luncheon meat had been eaten, and a whole bottle of mineral water had been drunk. He threw the empty canned luncheon meat into the sea, picked up the oar, and prepared to continue east. Suddenly, he felt a faint humming sound coming from the northeast. Startled, he lowered his oars, turned around and raised his binoculars to look into the distance. There seemed to be a small black dot moving in his direction, very fast. After a while, the black dot became clear, it was a helicopter. Liu Tianyun suddenly became nervous, he didn't know if this helicopter was coming at him. But whether it is or not, once his whereabouts are revealed, he will definitely be arrested by the Thai authorities. He immediately checked everything on his body to make sure that the fake passport he had was not on him. He thought that even if they were blocked by the coast guard, they would not be able to confirm their identity immediately, and it would be better to apply for refugees directly like Acre, and they would have a chance to escape.

What he did not know was that since a large number of Taiwanese criminals or smugglers had been caught by the Thai authorities at sea a few years ago, the authorities had begun to impose strict supervision measures on those who had not entered the country legally by sea, and after they were caught, they could only stay in prison until the identification was completed.

The helicopter apparently spotted him, adjusted its direction and flew straight at him, then circled around the lifeboat at close range, the air currents from the propellers almost stirring up the water near the lifeboat. Liu Tianyun could see the fuselage of the helicopter Coast Gua in the strong wind

The word D also has the distinctive Thai flag emblem, and the guard in the back cabin who is watching him with binoculars can be seen. Liu Tianyun, who was originally confident, panicked in formation, did they recognize me? Instinctively, he grabbed the oars and began rowing again.

At this time, the loudspeaker in the nose of the helicopter sounded: "We'

When Gada received the report from the helicopter, he couldn't help but feel refreshed. “Okay folks, the choppe

“Ca

“Aye aye, si

The helicopter suddenly lowered its altitude and got closer, and the huge air flow stirred Liu Tianyun almost out of breath and couldn't move. “Please stay he

t!" The helicopter's loudspeaker sounded again, and his tone was visibly stern.

Finished! Liu Tianyun knew that it was not good. He turned his head and looked around, but he couldn't see any ships in the nearby sea. At this time, he saw that the binoculars in the hand of the guard who was watching him in the rear cabin had somehow turned into an M-16 rifle, and his eyes were staring at him without blinking. Liu Tianyun remembered the pistol in his bag and suddenly decided to change his original plan. You can't just get caught! He lunged at his backpack, grabbed it, and tumbled into the water on the other side of the boat. The people on board the helicopter were taken aback, and the guards in the back cabin hurriedly raised their guns and looked out into the sea.

Under the cover of the lifeboat, Liu Tianyun took out the pistol from his bag, threw away the backpack, and then opened the safety and loaded the bullet according to the standard process. He took a deep breath, grabbed the boat gang with his left hand, rested his right hand on his left wrist, and aimed at the gun-wielding guard and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!" Liu Tianyun was so nervous that he tightened his grip on the trigger, and the nine-millimeter automatic pistol fired several rounds at once. He didn't know if he had hit the target.

The other side also fired back. A string of bullets hit the fiberglass hull and the seawater, causing Liu Tianyun to close his eyes in fright, and his left hand loosened and shrank behind the hull. Then with a probe, a few more shots were fired.

Suddenly there was a call in Gada's headphones: "We'

e u

e! He’s a

e!” He was taken aback, the armed firepower of the rescue helicopter was weak, and if the other side had weapons, the target of the helicopter was too large and it was difficult to protect itself.

“We have visual co

A team member reports.

“Okay, we will be the

t! Combat ale

t!” Suddenly there was a rush on board. The canvas jacket of the 20-mm machine gun on the foredeck was removed, and the machine gunner immediately took his position and went into combat condition.

Liu Tianyun watched the helicopter pull up, and then turned around and flew away. He was overjoyed, grabbed the boat gang hard, and climbed into the lifeboat again. Just as he picked up the oars, there was a gunshot behind him, and a one-meter-high splash of water splashed from the side of the boat. He turned his head to see a Coast Guard patrol boat rushing towards him at high speed, the machine gun on the bow of the boat clearly visible.

The shooting just now was clearly a warning. The machine gun sent out a string of sparks, this time obviously closer, and another bullet hit the head of the lifeboat, and then I heard "dang" on the ground, Liu Tianyun's ears buzzed, and the hull of the ship was pushed and turned. He hurriedly collapsed in the cabin. After a short while, the sound of the patrol boat's motor became clear. The loudspeaker on the boat began to shout to him: "We'

It's over, it's really over this time! Liu Tianyun was desperate. He rolled over in the cabin, his back to the sky, and looked at the sky. He laughed, grandma's! He cursed. Is that the end of it? I don't want to be in the prison of a ladyboy! He raised his pistol and aimed it at his temple. At the moment when he pulled the trigger, he seemed to see his family, beautiful mountains, and beautiful water; There are also the crowds of people during the New Year, the shouts like waves, Zhang Min's youthful and bright smile, and Mu Zikuan's smiling face; I also saw the old man on the train who was huddled beside him with a burden, wearing a blue homespun tunic, with wrinkles on his forehead, and smoking a cigarette, grinning at him and smiling: "Go home on vacation, Xiya?" ”……

Professor Hu and Kobayashi stood under the arch of the Peace Gate, watching the long motorcade leading to Thailand on this side of Myanmar as if it was their first time in this place. After a long time, Professor Hu turned to Xiao Lin and said, "Hey, ma."

“Yes! Just cut it!” The doctor stood far away, looked at Mu Zikuan's eyes, and replied firmly. Mu Zikuan gritted his teeth and cut hard.
