I was in the sea water, held my breath, and just opened my eyes, watching the black man gradually disappear from my sight, sinking until I couldn't see it. I just stepped on the water hard, and tried my best to swim up to the surface of the water.
"Cough, cough..." As soon as my head came out of the water, I started to cough violently. I, who was originally a mediocre swimmer, stayed underwater for so long, purely supported by my extraordinary physique and the hatred in my heart. Wrestling with that black man, now I only feel some tearing pain in my lungs.
As soon as my head came out of the water, my hearing returned to normal. Although the stowaway boat did not stop at this moment, its speed was much slower. As soon as I came out of the water, someone on the deck saw me, and immediately I heard a shout , and then I saw several crew members pointing their guns at me.
I quickly took a deep breath and dived back into the water.
whoosh whoosh…
The bullets shot into the sea and passed by me one after another. I kicked my legs and waved my arms desperately, trying to swim downstream.
People in desperation can always burst out potential that they don't usually have! I actually swam a long way after struggling all the way.
Then I had already swam down from the boat to the other side, watching the big boat from afar.
The boat was still full of noisy sounds, there were faint sporadic gunshots, and the sound of someone falling into the water from time to time. It seemed that the stowaways were almost finished.
I was floating on the surface, treading water with my feet, looking around with my head. I am also very anxious!
I am in the middle of the ocean, without even a lifebuoy or a life jacket, and now I can only swim with my own strength, but after all, I can't keep swimming! Once I run out of strength, I will die!
The crew of the big ship in front of me is still cleaning up stowaways, and I can't get on board.
The boat that has been chasing in the distance is getting closer and closer, and I can even clearly see the national flag flying on the boat...
It was a Maple Leaf flag with a number on the hull. It seemed to be a military vessel. At this moment, the warning horn was still sounding.
I don't know if the ship is the coast guard or the military or something...
I hesitated and made up my mind.
Rather than drowning or being beaten to death by those crew members, I might as well surrender to the police, at least it is a way to survive.
It was a boat like a small gunboat. While it was chasing the stowaway, it fired from time to time to deter the opponent. However, the artillery fire was very careful and fell far away on both sides of the ship. It seemed that they were not in a hurry to hurt people, it was purely deterrent.
I have no sailing experience, so I just felt that the gunboat should not be far away from me. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it until I swam for a while. Looking at the seemingly short distance on the sea, it was actually very long!
Although the waves are not big, swimming in the sea is very strenuous, because you have to use a lot of physical strength to fight against the waves, and the waves will take you away from your direction.
What I have experienced these days has determined that my physical strength is much worse than before. After swimming for a while, I suddenly felt a twitch in the soles of my feet, and my heart immediately felt cold!
I know, I'm afraid I'm going to cramp! !
Originally, my physical fitness was in a bad state, and with such cold sea water, my physical fitness will be exhausted soon, and my water quality is really average, and swimming is even more strenuous... A wave hit me, and I was instantly annihilated On the top of my head, when I got out of the waves, I coughed a few times, but helplessly saw that I had been taken away from my direction by the waves, whether it was a stowaway or a gunboat, they were far away from my direction.
I gave a weak cry, and tried to raise my arms, so that the people on the gunboat could see me. But unfortunately, my actions did not attract anyone's attention.
I feel that my legs soaked in the sea water are getting heavier and heavier, and the movement of kicking the water has gradually slowed down. It seems that I don't have much strength... I sighed in my heart and couldn't help but smiled bitterly.
Am I really going to die here
After struggling for so long, going through so much, and suffering so much, can I still not pass this level in the end
Just when I was almost hopeless, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the wind in the distance to the left...
It seemed to be a few voices of shouting and cursing, but when the downwind came, it was slightly unpleasant and intermittent.
I immediately turned my head and looked over, but saw a scene that gave me a glimmer of hope again!
About tens of meters away from me, in the swaying waves, there seemed to be three figures struggling... Because the ups and downs of the waves blocked my sight, I couldn't see very carefully, but it was enough for me to see. I have identified their identities!
Surprisingly, these were not stowaways who jumped into the sea to escape, but the crew of that ship! !
Each of these three people was wearing a life jacket, soaked in the sea water, and seemed to be trying to swim in one direction, but they seemed to be arguing loudly.
What made me even more surprised was that the three of them seemed to be working together, holding a black thing in their hands... a big piece, floating on the surface of the sea.
I felt their eyes sweeping towards me, and immediately dived under the sea surface vigilantly, and then swam to another direction to get out of the sea.
At this time, the gunboat was already far away from us, and seemed to be chasing after the stowaway.
Seeing this scene, the three crew members seemed to cheer, and then on the surface of the sea, they suddenly tidied up the black thing...
My eyes lit up!
Immediately recognized what that thing was! !
That's an inflatable life saver! ! ! That is the kind of device for escaping at sea!
Obviously, this is a small life-saving device. This kind of inflatable life-saving device can only be used once. There is a valve on it. When using it, just throw it into the sea, and then someone twists the valve, and it will immediately inflate itself It swelled up, and finally turned into a rubber-like boat! !
And under my gaze, the three crew members watched the gunboat go away and made sure that they would not be discovered, so they carefully opened the valve...
laugh…
With the sound of the airflow, the raft, which was just a piece of folded rubber skin, immediately swelled up and turned into a small boat in an instant. The three crew members cheered, and immediately one of them tried to turn over. I saw that each of them was carrying a bag, and the bag was bulging, and I didn't know what it was. Then the second person turned over and put the bag on the cuticle...
But at this time, there is a problem!
It was obviously a very small life-saving device, which could bear the weight of three people, but the problem is, I observed from a distance, it seemed that the bags they carried were too heavy! I don't know what's in that bag... After the third person threw the bag up, he also wanted to turn over, but just a little bit of his body was on top of him, but the lifeguard was severely tilted by him!
With a cry of surprise, he quickly let go, tried to adjust, and tried his best to swim to the other side and turn over again... But he still failed, as soon as he climbed up a little, the hull began to tilt again.
At this time, the two crew members on the boat started to chat with him loudly, while the guy who was still in the sea spoke loudly, his tone seemed very angry and dissatisfied. Then he pointed to the bags on the boat and said a few words loudly.
I couldn't understand what they said, but it probably meant that the crew member in the sea thought the bag was too heavy, and he should throw away some of the things and let him go up.
But his request was immediately rejected by the two companions!
They began to quarrel, and at the end of the quarrel, the two people on the boat exchanged winks, and one of them immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist, and then moved towards the guy in the sea with a murderous expression. The guy in the sea also noticed his companion's malicious intentions, he backed up a little, and when the opponent rushed over, he immediately grabbed him, and then with all his strength, he dragged the one holding the dagger into the sea.
The two scuffled in the sea water, and the third guy on the boat also drew out his knife, looking at the two guys in the sea vigilantly, leaning against the side of the boat from time to time, ready to sneak attack.
I patiently let myself hide behind the waves, and at the same time, I tried my best to step on the water, and quietly followed these guys, keeping a distance of tens of meters, trying not to be thrown off by them.
At this time, I suddenly heard a cry of surprise from them, and then a person on the sea struggled a few times and stopped moving... The sea water was dyed red... One of them coldly pushed the immobile guy away , Then he pulled out the knife from him, bit it in his mouth casually, and continued to look coldly at the guy on the boat in the sea.
I understood that it was the person who jumped into the water from the boat just now, but was killed by the people in the sea instead. Now the man in the sea looked at his companion on the boat... Both of them were looking at each other, as if they were considering whether to continue working hard.
At this time, the person on the boat suddenly said a few words, and after the two talked, they reached an agreement immediately. The people on the boat let go of the knife in their hands, and stretched out their hands to pull the people in the sea onto the boat.
I understand... It turns out that three people are too many, so one companion must be given up. The people on the boat originally planned to give up the people in the sea. But now that one has died, the two are just right, so they both compromised with each other and decided to stop fighting.
The two people who were hostile just now are holding hands together again!
The reality is so cruel!
Before I could sigh, I suddenly saw that the man in the sea had just boarded the boat, and when the other guy turned around, he hugged his neck from behind, and then the knife quickly A swipe on his neck... Plop!
The body was thrown into the ocean, and the guy in the boat leaned aside, panting.
This person is very powerful. He was originally on the disadvantaged side. Seeing that his two companions boarded the boat and were about to abandon him, now he killed the two companions by himself and monopolized the boat.
I think he must be very happy at the moment...
But I've waited for the time I want to wait! Taking advantage of this moment, I immediately dived into the water, and then quietly swam towards him...
A few minutes later, when the man was still panting on the rubber raft, I suddenly emerged from the water behind him. Before he could react, I stabbed him accurately from behind with a knife, Then before he could fight back violently, I dived back into the water and tried my best to swim to a safe distance before emerging.
This man is dead.
He struggled to sit up from the boat, covering his neck with his hands... In fact, the dagger I just inserted was crooked and missed his neck, slightly leaning against his shoulder, but it was deadly enough. This person struggled for a while, staring at me in the water, his eyes were full of anger, surprise, and despair!
Suddenly, he yelled, opened his hands and rushed towards me...
It's a pity that he fell halfway, his life was far away from his body, his body stiffened in mid-air, and then fell into the sea.
I slowly swam over, tried my best to get on the raft, and got out of the sea water, finally I took a long breath and gasped for breath.
I'm exhausted! !
From watching the three crew members kill each other, and then I turned from a tailer to a hunter, and took the lifeboat, I felt that I had exhausted all my strength, lying on the raft, I could barely reach the baby. I can't even move my fingers.
But after panting for a while, I still tried my best to get up, looked at the three bags on the boat, and struggled to move over.
I'm going to check out what's on board right now!
I never believed in any gods in my life, but now I pray to God...
God bless, there must be some food in this bag... Even if there is no food, at least some fresh water! !
"..." I stared dumbfounded at the contents of the bag in front of me, then frantically and quickly opened the other two bags...
"Hahahahahahahaha..." I burst out into a burst of wild laughter, laughing so hard that I almost burst into tears! I laughed, coughed, gasped, the muscles on my face trembling. I know I must be crazy and scary the way I am now...but I really want to laugh!
It's just ridiculous!
It's so fucking ridiculous! ! !
The three bags in front of me are three canvas bags. After opening, each bag is in US dollars!
Thick stacks of US dollar bills! ! !
There are three packages of US dollars, probably several million! !
But damn it... not even a drop of water! Not a drop! ! ! !
For the first time in my life, I have such a huge amount of wealth... Unfortunately, I am facing a situation where I am about to die of thirst or starvation!
A millionaire dying of thirst or starvation!
Is there anything more ridiculous than this?
I laughed for a while, feeling my body getting weaker and weaker, and I fell on the boat weakly, looking up at the sky, wheezing and wheezing.
wrong! wrong! impossible!
There must be food, there must be water!
When the three crew members escaped, it was impossible not to bring food and water! This is the most basic common sense!
Immediately, I seemed to have found a glimmer of life for myself, and tried my best to turn over from the boat, but I searched all over the lifeguards, but there was nothing...
I tried my best to recall it, and then I vaguely remembered that there seemed to be some skin-like things hanging on the bodies of the three crew members... Could it be water bags?
They carry food and fresh water with them! !
"Fuck me!!" I yelled in grief and anger, and immediately tried to search the bodies of the three crew members on the sea... Unfortunately, it was too late.
The rubber raft has been floating for quite a while, and the waves are getting bigger now, and the three corpses have long since disappeared. I am surrounded by the vast sea... I don’t have the guts to give up the boat and jump into the sea alone. Go find their dead bodies... then even if I find food and water... without a boat, I'm dead too!
"Fate." I sighed.
I leaned against the boat helplessly, and suddenly my heart moved, I carefully rummaged through my pockets, and found out the things I had hidden in the innermost part of my body.
That's my ring!
Sighing, I took out the measurer... the measurer was sitting with the ring in a small pocket that was specially sewn into my underwear, and I took it out...
After a while, I smiled helplessly: "Damn, are you kidding me?"
The yellow index on the measuring device is high...the longevity is very good...it's a pity that I am dying of thirst and starvation!
Where can I find food and drink on this sea
I really wanted to throw the thing in my hand into the sea in a fit of anger, but I just stretched out my hand and didn't dare, so after thinking about it, I took it back close to my body.
Just when I had decided to give up, I heard a shout from the downwind of the sea...
"Help, help..."
I lifted my spirits, turned over and sat up, and saw a person wearing a lifebuoy on the sea in the distance, rising and falling in the waves, as if she would be swallowed by the waves at any time, but she was working hard, desperately. Struggling, paddling desperately.
It's Xiaofeng. Without hesitation, I immediately picked up the paddle on the lifeguard and rowed towards Xiaofeng...
Reaching out to pull her into the boat, Xiaofeng's complexion was pale, even a little gray and blue. After panting and coughing hard, she looked at me suspiciously, and said intermittently: "It's...it's you, Xiao Wu? How could you... , here? This boat is..."
I leaned against the boat, too lazy to move: "Don't ask, I snatched the boat."
Xiaofeng was also exhausted and lay there as if unable to move, but she still struggled and forced a smile to me: "Xiao Wu, thank you... you saved my life."
I said lightly: "Don't thank you so early, I didn't save you. Both of us are dead."
Xiaofeng panted for a while, struggled and said, "What's wrong?"
I had already sat up, pointed at the three bags, and glanced at Xiaofeng: "Did you see it?"
"So much money?" The expression on Xiaofeng's face changed slightly, and then she turned to look at me: "This..."
"It's a lot of money." I smiled wryly: "A lot of money... If the money is used to buy food, the rice you buy can crush me to death a hundred times! The water you buy can drown me a hundred times! But The problem is...Miss, this is the sea, and there is no supermarket nearby!" I took a breath, looked at Xiaofeng, and told her in a low voice: "There is no food or water on board, so we are both dead, dead Yes! So don’t thank me for saving you, I just helped you to have one more choice about death.”
I laughed more and more ugly: "If I don't save you, you can only drown. Now... you can at least have some choices, you can choose to drown, or stay on the boat to die of thirst or starve die."
The two of us looked at each other for a while, and suddenly we both laughed.
This is a very helpless smile. People in desperation seem to put aside all previous grievances...
resentment
The grievances between me and Xiaofeng, whether she hates me or I look down on her... At this time, is it important? In the vast sea, there are only the two of us left on such a small boat, maybe a big wave in an hour will send us to see King Yama...
Besides, do people still have the strength to hate each other when they reach this level
After laughing for a while, I saw Xiaofeng's face getting paler and paler. Her laughter also gradually weakened, and then she started coughing again.
I moved a few times, moved to her side, and pinched her wrist, feeling her pulse.
In fact, I don't know Chinese medicine, let alone pulse. But at least I have studied martial arts and know some basic principles. Her pulse is a little disordered, and her breathing is very fast and short.
"Have you been sick?" I sighed.
Xiaofeng forced a smile: "I've been sick for a few days, I don't seem to be used to the climate at sea, and I started to have some shortness of breath, which has become more and more serious in the past few days."
I was silent for a while.
Originally, there was some food in the bag I was carrying, and I even put a couple of anti-inflammatory tablets in the bag, but... when I jumped into the sea with that black man in my arms, I was prepared to die together. My own bag fell into the sea long ago!
Her condition is very bad, even a little serious. In this case, what she needs most is a doctor! If there is no doctor, at least a cup of hot water is needed, and then a dry place and a warm bed where she can lie down for a while.
But none of these. I could only look at her and sigh.
Xiaofeng saw the expression on my face, so she forced a smile: "Okay, Xiao Wu, I know my situation, anyway, it's like this now, it doesn't matter how I die."
When she said that, I thought about it too, and simply lay down: "By the way, I never asked you, how did you get on that boat?"
"What else can I do, run away!" Xiaofeng said with a bit of resentment in her tone, and at this moment, there was a trace of resentment on her face... This expression reminded me of her original appearance.
"Aren't you very curious, why did I come to the south to do MLM?" Xiaofeng said mockingly: "After that nightclub incident, I couldn't get along in the Nanjing venue. You left the nightclub, But after that guy Awei took over, he let the outside world talk, and as a result, no place dared to let me in to do business, so I had no choice but to go south to make money... "
After that, things were easy. After going south, Xiaofeng met a sister who was also making money in the entertainment field. Now she started a pyramid scheme, and Xiaofeng was dragged into the water.
But this woman is really powerful! Relying on her wrists that have been rolled out in the entertainment field for many years, she actually hooked up with the boss of that pyramid sale den! Then, relying on the relationship along the way, he got involved with several leaders of the pyramid sale group...
"Don't look at me like that." Xiaofeng said coldly, "I know what you're thinking... You're right, I slept with those men all the way! Otherwise, how could I have climbed to that position? Hmph !" Her tone was disdainful, but with a bit of resentment: "I have never seen any man! When those guys see me, I can tell what their lower body is thinking! It's just opening their legs! Well, it’s not like I haven’t opened my mouth! It’s my luck that one of them fell in love with me. I used all my skills to make him fascinated. Later, that guy even handed over the bill to me , I just entered their inner circle... When you saw me, I was basically the leader of one party. If it wasn't for being taken away by the police that time, I... "
She suddenly sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't know until I ran out that day that the police took our den to someone who made trouble, and it was people from our gang who sold us! Damn it... But they are not benevolent and I am not righteous! I I simply took their money and left! I went all the way south from Guangzhou, went to Vietnam by sea, and stayed in Vietnam for more than ten days before I managed to get on a boat and prepare to smuggle to Canada. Canada is not known as the world’s most Is it one of the countries suitable for living? My mother is going to bring money to enjoy the rest of her life."
It turned out that this woman ran away for this reason.
"Now I am not only wanted by the police, but also chased by people in the gang. I stole a lot of money from them. If they find me, I will die, so I can't stay in Southeast Asia anymore. It's better to go as far away as possible." .” There was a hint of complacency in Xiaofeng’s tone.
I have no interest in these things about her, and I don't want to continue to listen to them. Anyway, they are all outrageous activities, and I feel very unhappy after hearing them.
Gradually Xiaofeng said that she was tired, and she really couldn't bear it any longer, so she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
I also fell asleep in a daze...
I had a dream... The funny thing is, I didn't dream of Yan Di or Fang Nan or anyone this time... I didn't even dream of Brother Huan again...
I only dreamed that I was running desperately in the streets and alleys of Nanjing. I had a lot of money in my pocket, but I went to any store and told me that there was no water for sale.
No coke, no soda, no juice... nothing!
I saw a KFC from afar, but unfortunately when I went in, I found that there was no hamburger, no chicken wings, and no Coke! Nothing at all!
Finally I woke up in despair with a bitter, dry mouth.
Randomly looking at the dollars in the bag, I suddenly thought, if someone told me that a bottle of Coke was worth a million dollars, I would be willing to buy it even if I broke my head!
