The person was half asleep and half awake in a coma, and Chen Xiao's perception of the outside world became intermittent.
Originally, he suffered a lot of minor and serious injuries on the boat - it's funny to say that several of the injuries on his body were from the fight with Tang Ying. She usually looked timid, but when it came to fighting, she was very timid. The desperate Xiao Nizi was really ruthless. At least Chen Xiao was cut several times by her, and there were several penetrating wounds.
When he was on the boat, he could still hold on, but the shot in the chest caused a big problem.
Fortunately, it was only a dozen meters away, and the bullet had already passed through the chest, and the right side of the chest did not damage other internal organs. It only penetrated the lungs, and blood poured into the lungs, causing internal injuries.
Although Chen Xiao was in a coma, every time he took a breath, he would feel the lingering pain in his chest.
The sounds from the outside world were intermittent. After he fell into coma, he only woke up three times.
When he woke up for the first time, the sky was still black, and there were exclamations and screams all around. In the vast sea, Chen Xiao was lying on the board of the lifeboat, with his head turned sideways. When he opened his eyes, he saw In the distance, the huge Victoria was already tilting severely, and the hull had begun to sink due to too much water. Half of the bow was already submerged under the sea water, and crackling sounds kept coming from the hull. There was a banging sound, and from a distance, there seemed to be a lot of crowded people on the deck at the stern of the ship, and the lights on the ship were already dark, probably because of a short circuit.
Around the huge Victoria, countless small lifeboats were floating on the sea, and there seemed to be some lifeboats that had not been lowered on the Victoria.
Although the distance was far away, Chen Xiao seemed to still be able to vaguely hear the bursts of despair and fear.
I don't know why, seeing such a shocking and realistic scene, Chen Xiao felt that he was not as shocked as expected, but instead felt an indescribable calmness. He tilted his head sideways, his neck was already stiff, and the pain in his chest was tormenting him, but he still wriggled his lips twice.
Zhang Xiaotao, who was beside him, saw Chen Xiao waking up, immediately lowered his head and called out twice.
Chen Xiao's eyes no longer had any brilliance, and they were a little dull. He just looked quietly at the sinking Victoria in the distance to the side.
Finally, Zhang Xiaotao heard clearly what Chen Xiao said. What he said was:
"It looks like in a movie..."
After saying this, the young man fainted again.
…
When Chen Xiao woke up for the second time, he felt the whistling wind in his ears!
When he opened his eyes, he saw dark clouds in the sky above his head, and heavy rain pouring down from the sky unbridled. The howling wind sounded like the roar of a wild beast on this empty sea!
The lifeboat seemed to be overturned at any moment, rising and falling back and forth on the waves. Every time a big wave hits, the people on the boat will scream in fear, everyone hugs each other, and some even shout something loudly.
Zhang Xiaotao was sitting next to Chen Xiao, holding Chen Xiao's wrist tightly with one hand. Although his face was pale with fear, he pursed his lips tightly.
Looking at the profile of the girl's face, this was the last scene Chen Xiao saw when he woke up for the second time. Immediately, a huge wave came and the salty seawater poured on Chen Xiao's face and body, and he fainted again. past.
…
When Chen Xiao woke up for the third time, he felt his body lying on a piece of soft sand. He rested his head on something and tilted his neck slightly. He immediately felt a faint pain all over his body.
He finally saw clearly that he was pillowing on Zhang Xiaotao's lap, and the two of them were sitting on the beach. Zhang Xiaotao's face was full of smiles and tears, as if she was watching Chen Xiao wake up. She was extremely ecstatic, holding her arms He grabbed Chen Xiao's head and started to cry loudly. Tears fell on Chen Xiao's face drop by drop. Chen Xiao opened his mouth and sighed: "Are we ashore?"
"We're trapped."
The person who answered Chen Xiao was not Zhang Xiaotao, but a voice from behind his head. Although Chen Xiao couldn't sit up and look back, he still heard it clearly - it was clearly the sound of fireworks!
That kind of unique, indifferent, slightly hoarse, but full of magnetic voice.
Fireworks looked very embarrassed. At this moment, she seemed to have nothing to do with the word "elegance".
The cheongsam she was wearing was also full of stains and stained with a lot of sand. Her hair was also wet with a lot of gravel on it. Her hair was also messy and stuck to her forehead and cheeks, but that His eyes were still calm and bright.
Zhang Xiaotao was still sobbing quietly, but Yanhua had already walked directly to Chen Xiao, knelt down and looked down at Chen Xiao's eyes: "You are in a very bad situation. You have multiple injuries on your body - originally this was nothing. , but we don’t have any medical supplies now, and the health situation is not optimistic. We can’t even guarantee that your wounds will not be infected. And... your lungs were shot, and blood flowed into your lungs. When you were unconscious You keep coughing and spitting blood, but fortunately the internal bleeding has stopped, which is your luck. But your lungs are very weak now, I'm afraid... "
In fact, without the fireworks, Chen Xiao could feel his current situation. He felt his weakness. Leaning in Zhang Xiaotao's arms, he couldn't even move a finger. It was as if a thousand-jin weight was pressing on his chest. Every time I breathed, it was extremely difficult, and my chest felt like burning pain.
His lungs were like a broken bellows that had leaked. Although he could still breathe, he seemed unable to get enough oxygen, and he was still in excruciating pain.
"The two cuts on your shoulder, the muscle tissue was damaged, and the cut on your leg... I can't even imagine how you could still be alive and well when you were on the boat with such serious injuries. Jumping and running around." There seemed to be no emotion in the voice of the firework. The content of the words seemed to be mocking, but the tone did not have a trace of mockery, and it was calm as if it were mechanical.
"Am I... going to die?" Chen Xiao asked with difficulty.
"I don't know, such injuries are not fatal, but we don't have medicine now, and after your body was soaked in sea water, you seem to have caught a cold. You have been having a fever since last night..." Hua Hua shook his head.
"Am I going to die?" Suddenly something strange flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes, and he looked straight at the fireworks. His voice was as hoarse as a broken gong, and he asked with difficulty in broken words: "Senior Fireworks , I'm not asking about my injuries, I'm asking you, will I... die?"
Yanhua understood what Chen Xiao meant. This time her expression finally changed a little, and a trace of apology flashed in her eyes.
Seeing the trace of apology in the other person's eyebrows, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. Could it be that... I will die
Fortunately, Fireworks' answer was, "I don't know."
Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and endured the pain and took a deep breath - it seemed that only by taking deep breaths could his lungs absorb enough oxygen and relieve the tightness in his chest, but the pain caused by deep breaths was also doubled.
Chen Xiao's eyebrows knitted together in pain, but asked: "You... don't know? You're not... "
"I can't tell." Yanhua's answer returned to that flat tone again: "Your future is unknown!"
…
Zhang Xiaotao couldn't understand the content of the conversation between Chen Xiao and Yanhua, but he heard a little bit: "Do you know each other?"
"I saw it once." Fireworks were the answer.
"Help, help me... sit up." Chen Xiao struggled for a while, and Zhang Xiaotao quickly and carefully picked up Chen Xiao's body and let him lean on his shoulders. Although men and women are different, they don't care about that much at the moment.
"My pants, pocket..." Chen Xiao pointed to his tattered pants: "The one on the right..."
Zhang Xiaotao took out a small bottle from Chen Xiao's pocket.
When I saw the fireworks, my eyes suddenly lit up!
"Cell repair solution?"
"The Japanese gave it to me." Chen Xiao gasped.
For the first time, Yanhua's face showed a hint of relief, but Chen Xiao smiled bitterly: "This thing... is of no use to me, but it is always good to have this thing as a backup, just in case, in case..."
At the end of the sentence, he couldn't breathe smoothly and couldn't catch a breath, and his face turned red from holding back.
…
On the beach, Chen Xiao leaned in Zhang Xiaotao's arms. Zhang Xiaotao tried hard to take off his undershirt. Because the blood from the wound had solidified, the blood shackles even connected the clothes and flesh together. The tearing process made Chen Xiao Xiao was in so much pain that he almost bit his lip.
Not far away, the lifeboat ran aground on the beach.
This beach is not too long, and you can see it all at a glance. It is about a few hundred meters long, showing an arc terrain.
Around the three people, there were other people, all passengers on the lifeboat, but all of them were old, weak and women.
The situation is not optimistic. In addition to Chen Xiao and the other three, there are four women, two old men in their sixties, an old couple, and a girl who looks no older than thirteen at most.
What's even more unfortunate is that this is an island, an uninhabited island.
After the Victoria became dull, those who boarded the lifeboat were not lucky enough to wait for rescue.
That night, a sudden storm swept through the sea area and scattered all the lifeboats on the sea.
According to Zhang Xiaotao's recollection in a horrified tone, she saw with her own eyes many lifeboats being overturned and sunk in the waves! I'm afraid... not many people can survive!
Chen Xiao's lifeboat could only drift with the waves in the sea. During the storm, it drifted in the direction of the waves. It almost sank several times, but it was lucky to survive.
Finally, after two days and two nights, we finally drifted to such an island.
This island is not big. After landing on the island, the people who stepped on the land originally thought they were saved. However, after a group of hungry people traveled all over the island, they discovered in despair that this was a dead land!
This island only has an area of less than one square kilometer. There is only a small forest on the island that is not dense, and a very low soil hillside. Most of it is rock and there is very little soil. The vegetation on the island is not high. Most of them are low shrubs, and there are not even big trees.
As for the food...that's out of the question. Just leaves!
Fortunately among the misfortunes, probably because of the storm, everyone found a puddle in the woods. A lot of rainwater accumulated in the puddle. This fresh water can still be used for drinking, but the puddle does not It is large and the water accumulation is very limited. If there are so many people to calculate it, and the evaporation rate of the puddle when exposed to the air, I am afraid... it can only last for a few days at most.
"If my calculations are correct, I calculated the direction and time of our drift..." Yanhua said lightly: "The island we are on now is an uninhabited island far away from the shipping lanes. Of course, it is on the high seas. And ... Our only hope is that the rescuers will find us when they search the nearby waters, otherwise... there will be no passing ships here. In such an uninhabited island, there is no food or fresh water, even pirates will not Would come to a place like this.”
"In other words, we are dead?"
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly.
"No." Yanhua suddenly smiled and pointed at Zhang Xiaotao who was busy in the distance: "I can see her future... She will not die here, nor will she die now!"
This is a very simple logic.
Since Zhang Xiaotao will not die here, then she will not die on the island and will definitely leave the island... In other words, there is a possibility of being rescued.
But Chen Xiao heard an indescribable weirdness from Yanhua's tone.
What the fireworks said was: Zhang Xiaotao will not die here.
So, what about everyone else
What about the other survivors? Where is Chen Xiao
Even... what about Fireworks herself? !
Fireworks didn't say anything. Chen Xiao originally wanted to ask, but suddenly closed his mouth.
If it's bad news, if it's destined to be unchangeable, then... it's better not to know.
Zhang Xiaotao walked over carefully holding a leather shoe in both hands.
This leather shoe was taken off Chen Xiao's own foot.
The female translator held Chen Xiao and sat up, then put the leather shoes to Chen Xiao's mouth - the shoes were filled with water, which Zhang Xiaotao had run into the puddle in the woods.
Chen Xiao took a sip and then pretended to smile casually: "I never imagined that one day I would drink water that tastes like my own feet."
After saying that, he coughed desperately, and when he coughed, bright red spit came out of the corner of his mouth.
