Chapter 101: Drifting with the Waves
The salty sea water instantly poured into Yunyun's mouth and nose, choking him to stop breathing. There was a roar in the brain, then a blank space, and the body couldn't help but sink slowly.
I don't know how long it took for him to regain consciousness after a century, but fortunately, the true qi in his body naturally accelerated the circulation, and the true qi precipitated in his skin and muscles also returned, so that he did not fall into a coma due to lack of oxygen.
After waking up, he used his hands and feet to float to the surface of the water, and finally came out of the sea and breathed greedily, and the air that he usually didn't care about was so precious at this time.
He looked around cautiously, the Matsui did not chase after him, he blindly fired a few shots but accurately overturned the boat, and he could only say that he was unlucky. The sinking of the Overlord Pill is a foregone conclusion, and the crew of the Matsui is doing their best to rescue the accomplices who have fallen into the water and collect the supplies that can still be used on the Overlord Maru. Since there are many floating corpses on the sea, no one deliberately pays attention to them.
Not far from the clouds, three children held Yokota, who was still unconscious, and showed his head. It's just that the other two children are missing, and it is possible that they were injured by the impact just now or unconscious.
Although the three children were thin and weak, they were all good at water, and they could move quickly while holding Yokota, and they found a boat board to put Yokota on it. At this time, seeing that the clouds were also exposed to the sea, he hurriedly shook his arms and beckoned.
Yun quickly put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, signaling them not to move too much, so as not to be discovered by the pirates. The children were very clever and understood at once, but they just held on to the plank and gently stepped on the water and drifted away in the direction of the current.
Slowly, the enemy ships went from clear to vague in their line of sight, until they completely disappeared, and the clouds moved as much as they could, converging with them. Everyone in the sea can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and can only row in one direction.
During this time, he took the opportunity to check Yokota's injuries in the cloud, and the broken left arm was a traumatic injury, which had been fixed and bandaged by his men. The trouble is that the internal organs have been impacted, and from the bloody foam spilling from the corners of his mouth from time to time, it is not difficult to see that the internal injuries he has suffered are not light, which is why he has been unconscious.
Due to the long immersion in the water, Yokota's injuries had a tendency to worsen and he began to develop a fever. Before getting on the boat, these Japanese children did prepare medicine, but when the boat capsized, they were all lost in the sea, and because the floating state was very unstable, the clouds did not dare to rashly transmit internal force to heal Yokota's injuries, so they could only slowly pass a trace of true qi to help him protect his heart......
Slowly the sun set below the horizon, and night fell on the sea. The temperature difference between day and night on the sea is extremely large, and the clouds are okay after all, the internal force is deep, but several children shivered several times. He couldn't help it, he just told them to keep moving so that they could keep their body heat.
But the weather seemed to be deliberately against them, and the wind began to pick up in the second half of the night. The wind is getting stronger and the sea is getting rougher. Yun quickly tore off his clothes and tied him to the children with strips of cloth, and the four of them held Yokota in the middle of the plank, and as the waves continued to fall from the crest to the bottom of the wave, Yun even wondered if he would be able to float again next time......
It was close to dawn that the sea slowly calmed down, and everyone was exhausted. The stomach is empty and severely dehydrated, and the children are already unconscious. Finally, when the sun rose, the sea began to warm, and a child stood out and screamed, and then as if something was pulling it vigorously, the strip of cloth tied to his wrist was dragged and sunk, and the screaming stopped. There were large blood stains floating on the sea.
"It's a shark!" another child cried out in horror.
Following the direction he was pointing, the clouds saw some sickle-like dorsal fins suddenly appear on the surface of the sea, rushing towards them with a line of water. The two surviving children screamed in fear, kicking their legs and slapping the water.
But apparently their movements irritated the sharks, who pounced even more furiously. Yun saw the two surviving children disappear into the sea in an instant, and then a large amount of blood spread on the surface of the sea. As if inspired by blood, a shark opened its mouth and rushed desperately towards the clouds, its dozens of triangular teeth shining a miserable white light in the sunlight. This distance from the clouds even smelled rancid in its mouth......
Yun was not willing to sit still, and punched it, hitting it right in the nose. But the punch that can usually open the mountain and crack the rock, due to the weakness of the body and the barrier of the seawater, it only turned over in the water, constantly shaking its head, some pain but not fatal.
Yun was disappointed but helpless, and suddenly looked up to find a short knife tied to Yokota's calf. Overjoyed, he hurriedly pulled it out and inserted it into the shark's eye. The blood was gushing like a spring, and the shark's painful constant rolling was seized by the clouds to cut open its stomach.
Several of the other sharks immediately gave up on the clouds, and the two attacked and tore at their injured companions. Taking advantage of this vacancy, the clouds pushed Yokota on the wooden plank and swam quickly into the distance.
I don't know if the unlucky shark was enough for its compatriots to share, or if it felt that the clouds were not easy to mess with, and the sharks did not pursue. This made Yun breathe a sigh of relief, his body had no strength, and he held on to the plank and was passively carried away by the seawater......
In the evening, Yun regained some strength, but the severe lack of water made his chest hot. After checking Yokota, his breath was even weaker, and Yun estimated that it would be difficult for Yokota to hold on to this night if he continued like this.
Suddenly, a flock of seabirds flew overhead, and the eyes of the clouds lit up, and where there were seabirds, there must be land, and they must have a resting place. So, no longer saving physical strength, he pushed Yokota and swam in the direction where the seabirds were flying.
Sure enough, before the sun completely set below the horizon, a large shadow was seen in the clouds. He knew it was supposed to be an island.
Half an hour later, when the clouds stepped onto the soft sand, it was as if they had lost all their support, and they fell on their backs in the sand without moving for a quarter of an hour. It wasn't until he regained a little strength in his body that he reluctantly got up and dragged Yokota towards the woods on the shore.
The forest was a coconut tree, and Yun Yun had seen the coconuts brought back by fishermen who had gone to sea before, and when he knew that they were edible, he shook his hand and knocked two with stones. When the coconut water was ingested, Yun felt that his body was rejuvenated like a dry stream washed by rain, so he smashed open the coconut shell and scraped off the desiccated coconut inside.
With food in my belly, I gradually gained strength in my body. He smashed open a coconut and poured the juice into Yokota, watching Yokota's throat stir and swallow, Yun was a little relieved, Yun Yun did not give up Yokota this way, not only because he fell in love with him, but also out of a commitment to Chima and other Japanese people who gave their lives to create opportunities for them to escape.
After settling Yokota, the clouds fell into the ground and fell into a deep sleep......
Early in the morning, Yun woke up with a burst of pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw a large crab holding his fingers. Yun smiled bitterly, what is this? The tiger fell on the beach and was deceived by the crab! In this case, he had no choice but to return a tooth for a tooth.
Raw crabs are not delicious and have a strong fishy smell, but fortunately, the meat is delicate. With the replenishment of food, Yunyun's spirit was shocked, and he climbed a coconut tree with his hands and feet to look out. The island is not too small, with sandy beaches and coconut groves rising in vain, and in the middle of the island rises a high mountain covered with lush trees. Through the cracks, you can see the strange shape of the black rocks.
The clouds recognize it as volcanic rock, which is often seen in the area of Changbai Mountain. Could it be that this island was formed by a volcanic eruption? He didn't bother to speculate. The most important thing now is to find a place to live and then look for food. If he's lucky, we'll see if we can collect herbs, and if we can't cure Yokota, I'll at least make sure that his injuries don't worsen.
After feeding Yokota another coconut, Cloud began his first exploration of the island.
The easiest way to see the island in its entirety was to stand on the top, so he headed to the top of the mountain. The journey up the mountain is not easy to walk, there are trees and plants everywhere, and the plants on the island are different from the inland, the branches and leaves are very tough, especially the edges of the leaves are born with saw-shaped inverted teeth, and if you accidentally scratch the body, it will be a blood mark.
After more than an hour of climbing, the clouds reached the top of the mountain. As far as the eye can see, there is an endless sea of water all around. The islet is oval-shaped and radiates outward with a volcano as its center. In particular, the other side is very deep into the sea, and it is believed that the magma was formed when the magma washed all the way down from the top of the mountain and was cooled by the sea. From the top of the mountain, you can faintly see the light reflected from the water surface, which is supposed to be a pool of rainwater.
When I went up the mountain, I found some small animals in the clouds from time to time, and now that there is fresh water, it seems that there is no problem in surviving, but I don't know when I will be able to return to the inland. Fortunately, Yun is open-minded by nature, and he leaves his troubles behind in a blink of an eye, maybe he is really young and does not know his worries.
