Chapter 18: Re-crossing
It's another Sunday, and it's all well arranged on Earth. Wearing a camouflage uniform, hiking boots, and a backpack on his back are more than 30 survival equipment that he racked his brains to prepare. In order to save weight, there are many spare items that have to be unfortunately abandoned. He felt like the last time, although he experienced three worlds, he didn't gain much from watching the flowers. So as long as you can survive on the side of the space-time gate, settle down and have a good experience. It would be good for him to adapt to the other world as soon as possible.
A familiar kick in the air. But this time, Quan Hao was prepared. Clasp your hands around and keep your legs straight, holding your breath.
Poof, the familiar sound of falling water.
Quan Hao quickly got out of the water, wiped his right hand on his face, opened his eyes and looked around.
There is water all around.
He stepped on the water unhurriedly, took off the backpack on his back, and pulled out two deflated lifebuoys from inside. Blow hard until both lifebuoys are swollen.
These two lifebuoys were a lesson he learned to deal with falling into the water after the crossing, and now they really come in handy.
One in one hand, he was relieved, and raised his eyes to look around.
The water is boundless, stretching far and wide, just like the sea. There is a thin mist floating on the surface of the sea, and the sunlight shines through the mist, bright but not dazzling. The water is very clear and overall turquoise in color. And the water around is very shallow, only about 10 meters. Even the sand on the bottom of the sea can be seen clearly.
Quan Hao also received a small surprise. The backpack he had discarded last time was lying on the seabed not far away, with the shirt wrapped around it. However, after estimating the weight of the backpack, he wisely gave up the idea of salvage.
Although the water is shallow, it is not a way to float like this. Quan Hao looked left and right, and a black, blunt triangular object jumped into view in the distance. Look closely at the thick white line of fingers that look like a tray underneath. It is very difficult to distinguish between the sea and the sky.
Island!
Jeon Hao got excited. It is about five kilometers away. At first, it wasn't foggy.
It's a bit embarrassing to swim such a long distance, and Quan Hao is more worried about his body. Fortunately, there are two lifebuoys, so let's flutter slowly.
He swam in the direction of the island with his hands and feet outstretched.
The process of swimming is not boring at all, and it is simply a sightseeing trip to the sea world. The seabed is covered with white sand and dotted with drifting aquatic plants. Occasionally, when the reef is exposed, you can often see colorful sea anemones attached to it, and the large mouth plate is nearly a meter in diameter, and the soft tentacles float with the waves. Other mollusks that cannot be named, and there are countless shellfish of all kinds. Most of them are beautiful fish that swim around leisurely. Sometimes I swim by slowly, and I am not afraid of people at all.
It's a pity that the relaxed mood was not maintained. After swimming for a long time, Quan Hao gradually felt that he couldn't keep up. The distance of 5 kilometers is no joke, he has never even run so far, let alone swimming, which is even less good at swimming. Fortunately, the two swimming rings helped a lot, and you can lie on them to rest if you can't swim. Wait until you've had enough rest before moving on. Although there is no wind at sea, the waves are not heavy, but it is also a trouble. He had to spend a third of his strength fighting the waves to keep his body balanced. After a long time, the skin was also soaked white, and the camouflage uniform and the place where the body touched were painful.
The good news is that the closer you get to the island, the higher the seabed. After swimming about two kilometers, his feet touched the sand on the bottom of the sea. It's much safer now, and it's better to step on the sand than to step on the water. Quan Hao's hanging heart was put down, and then he remembered to turn around and follow the direction to find the location of the space-time gate.
The space-time gate had already hidden most of it in the mist, and the streamer was looming.
It's a pity that you can't mark it at sea, so don't lose your way back. Quan Hao had another worry. He looked in the direction of the island, which was much larger than before. You can already tell the black hills and the white sandy beaches. The hills are sixty or seventy meters high and are dotted with green. The beach is flat, and although there are a few trees growing on it, there are no suitable references. Otherwise, make a two-point line with the highest mountain top mark, and you can mark the position of the space-time gate along the extension line. He felt a little regret and continued to move on.
The sun has risen quite a bit. Quan Hao walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, trying to avoid deep water and steep slopes. As the shore gets closer and closer, there are more crabs and shellfish in the sea, they are more stupid than fish, and some people pass by and don't know how to dodge. Bei just closed her shell and hid in her room. The crab held two pincers menacingly, with a fighting posture. Because there is still some distance from the shore, Quan Hao kindly said that he would not care. At the same time, it was decided to eat crab for the next meal.
Finally stepping on the soft ground, Quan Hao's steps staggered a little. After moving more than ten meters forward, looking for a place where the waves could not wash away, he threw his backpack on the ground and fell headlong on the thick sand. I never felt that it would be so painful to have a bag on my body, and the extra dozen pounds of weight weighed him down. Panting and breathless, motionless. Five minutes later he sat up again and began to undress. The camouflage uniform was soaked with seawater, and it was very uncomfortable. Fortunately it was very thin, otherwise he would have taken it off at sea. Even with shoes and socks, he only left ** and didn't take them off. Although the island didn't look like there were intelligent creatures moving around, he still couldn't let go of that bit of shame. Clothes and trousers were wrung out, and there was no place to dry them, so they had to be unrolled and spread on the sand. The shoe shook vigorously, and the mouth was empty.
Without cover, Quan Hao immediately felt the viciousness of the sun. Looking up, the sun was actually above him. No wonder I didn't see my shadow just now. It's not a way to go on like this, the sun is so strong, it will be dried by adults. So they searched the whole world for shade. It just so happened that there were dozens of palm trees five hundred meters away. Hurriedly picked up clothes and shoes, put on a backpack, and ran over with a cigarette.
The leaves of the palm tree are not very dense, but they are better than nothing. Quan Hao sat under the thickest and tallest tree, with his back against the trunk. The result of the relaxation of the whole body was that the eyelids began to fight, and soon he fell asleep.
The sleep was short, waking up with barely moving sun. However, the energy is good, and most of the fatigue in the body has disappeared. Quan Hao didn't rush to get up, and pulled the backpack on the side first.
The waterproof backpack that cost 700 dollars is really worth the money. The contents were dry and dry, and there was no sign of being soaked in the sea. Quan Hao took out the things from them one by one, while estimating their value.
Because of the unobstructed topography, half of the island on this side of the hill is almost familiar in the water. It looks like half an egg, the thick half. Most of the six areas are covered with fine sand, and there are only a few hundred trees scattered in total. The beach is very flat, spreading into about three kilometers into the inner 6, and there is almost no drop in the way. On the border with the hills, it is rare to have such a glimmer of green. Then the terrain became steep. The hill is only a few tens of meters above sea level, and it has undulating but endless waves. It is nearly 10 kilometers long, and the cliffs at both ends jut out into the sea. Completely blocked from view.
