The heavy rain stopped around midnight, which made everyone on the rubber boat scoop up water for nearly midnight. It seems that things in the world are always so contradictory. When it first appeared, people were ecstatic and regarded it as life-saving rain, but it was too much , and soon got tired of cursing, after all, no one dared to sink the ship, and those terrible sea monsters were like nightmares.

At dawn, an indistinct black figure appeared on the sea.
At first everyone was very excited, thinking that it was land, and they all struggled to pick up the oars and row, but when they got closer, they felt a chill.
It was a freighter, floating quietly on the sea, without making a sound.
This was the first time he encountered a ship since fleeing for his life on the Thalassa Lady. An Li hesitated for a long time, but still did not stop everyone from boarding the boat to search for food. Of course, the result was also disappointing. The food and water that were easy to carry were gone, and the lifeboats and life jackets on the freighter were also gone. It was obvious that the crew had followed suit. They are the same options.
The captain was lying on the deck, wiping the mottled rust on the iron plate with his hands. After the ship’s power facilities had problems, the lifeboat must have been dragged aside and thrown into the sea. Then he stumbled and ran around the railing to study. Finally, it was concluded that the people on this boat went about southwest when they escaped for their lives.
"If we go there, there will definitely be islands or land."
The captain was full of confidence. Although the others did not find any food, they added some other things, such as tea mugs and jars, which were used to hold rainwater or scoop water, and some sharp fruit knives. Li Shao also took a lighter, There are also some odds and ends that I didn't remember to bring when I ran for my life for the first time.
An Li tossed around on the ship for a long time, but finally gave up. The crew of the freighter were all men. It was possible to find out-of-date Playboy magazines and even A/movies, but it was really too difficult to find certain women's products. Enri was very concerned about this matter. She didn't even have a rag on hand. If she had known, she would have dragged a few more clothes on the Thalassa Lady. The smelly crew clothes abandoned on this ship really made her feel helpless.
An Li rubbed her forehead with a headache. Could it be that she was pinning her hopes on the fact that she was exhausted and malnourished recently, so she would not be able to do so this month
Wait, there seems to be a saying that it is not normal to soak in too much water and catch cold.
An Li staggered and returned to the rubber boat. She glanced at Na Lin and the unconscious A Min, and then became distressed. For so many days, I don’t know if it’s because of the sea monsters, but I haven’t encountered any sharks. Otherwise, as long as that bad situation happens and I fall into the water again, it’s hard to say what will happen next.
In the face of the vast ocean, abilities are really nothing.
Nalin took a wooden stick, hung a sheet on it to look like a sail, and then urged the person with the wind ability to quickly let the rubber boat float to the southwest. Of course, the arduous task of carrying this simple sail must belong to Li Shao.
I don't know that because they were extremely unlucky, the girl of fate finally began to take care of them. First, a rain saved their lives, climbed into a boat and took a lot of useful little things, and then drifted to the southwest for a while. , before noon, I saw the shadow of the island, this is really an island! The continuous ups and downs are green! !
"Saved, we are saved!"
"If this is close to the Mariana Islands, even if there is no fresh water on this island, we can go to the next island very quickly!" The captain was even more excited. Half of the Mariana Islands are original ecology, with many seabirds and animals. There are also many tropical plants.
The ray of hope once again cheered up this group of displaced people.
But if Xia Yi is here, he will definitely prevent everyone from approaching that island!
—After radiation, the plants on the island are almost dead. Where can such a lush and beautiful island come from
The people who were almost desperate didn't expect this at all, they all picked up their paddles excitedly and began to approach the island. I don't know if everyone was too excited and worked hard, or if the sudden arrival of hope made people excited, the captain estimated that the journey would take at least an hour, and they arrived without feeling anything.
Looking around, this is really a very small island.
It is only the size of a basketball court, but the plants grow very lushly, and some branches and leaves are already hanging in the sea water, even if they are sun-baked and lethargic, the leaves are half-curled.
"Tropical plants are so interesting." Li Shao felt curious.
After all, the captain is not young, and he is not a supernatural person. After so many days of tossing, he was too happy just now, and fainted halfway through the row, otherwise he could have talked about these wonderful plants.
The broad leaves dragged along with the rhizomes, and they seemed to be unable to support them, and they fell down. In the depths of the island, there were plants of other colors, even red ones. It's not too tall, but its appearance is extremely strange. I have never seen such a tropical plant in any illustrated book or scientific magazine. It is not like a tree or a shrub. Like the flowers on the tree, they are round and crowded into a pile, and they are very similar to hydrangeas. There are also purple-red fan-shaped plants, which are like a big leaf from root to tip. They grow densely, and there is no gap.
An Li felt that the island was weird no matter how it looked, as if something was missing, but she couldn't tell.
"Sister An, don't worry, look, it's just such a big island, the trees are not very tall, and there won't be any beasts!" Li Shao scratched his head, and then said, "Like that kind of prehistoric island, the It's impossible to have all dinosaurs!"
"But, these really look like prehistoric plants!" Nalin stared at those plants.
"No way, prehistoric creatures are huge, mosquitoes are several meters long, plants are sky-high, how can it be like this?"
"That's an alien plant!"
Not to mention Na Lin, even An Li murmured that this plant is too out of place.
But they were hesitant, but they were courageous. After all, they have been hungry for so many days without a meal, and finally came across an island. Although there may be no fresh water, it is good to find something to eat, not picky, what fruit? Any non-poisonous mushrooms are fine.
So Li Shao couldn't hold back and jumped up.
He was not so stable when he landed, and he fell on his back. An Li hurried to get off the boat to pull him, but Li Shao rubbed his head with a dry smile and got up again:
"It's so painful, it's so annoying!"
Li Shao stretched out his hand to push the leaves away, and there was no soil or stone underneath, but chunks of raw taupe objects. Li Shao grabbed a handful with his hand, brought it close to his eyes, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"It's shells and conch!"
He was strong, and most of the ones he caught were oysters, and there were also conch-shaped white conch shells. The soft feet at the mouth of the shell were still wriggling, and they quickly retracted. After all, they were adsorbed on the seemingly hard stones.
"Don't look for it, there is something to eat, but there are snakes in the depths of the jungle!"
Satisfied, Li Shao started to grab with both hands again, and threw a handful of oysters and conch into the rubber boat.
As for the plants, they looked too strange to eat.
"Li Shao, come back!" An Li felt that the rubber boat approaching the island was shaking a bit.
"Sister An, wait, there are a lot of shells here! Layers upon layers, as long as you bring enough for us to eat for three days, it will be easy to find other islands!" With Li Shao as an example, others followed suit. Pull conch on the ground.
The captain was woken up by a handful of oysters thrown into the boat, and sat up in a daze:
"Where did you get the food?"
"On the island..."
As soon as the captain raised his head, he looked at the island dumbfounded, those strange plants, and the people who were happily pulling conch shells on the edge of the island, their expressions were very bewildered.
"Hey, what kind of island is this?"
Shells are generally adsorbed on sunken ships and reefs, and it is another matter if they are washed up on the beach by waves, but they are everywhere on the island, and they are piled up in layers, which is too outrageous.
An Li finally remembered what was wrong with this island, there was no beach, if it was all made of stones, how did those plants grow? And can shells and conch survive without water for a long time? And on such a lush island full of plants, there is not a single seabird, no animals, not even insects! If the radiation kills them, why are the plants doing fine
"Come back, come back quickly, this is not an island!!"
Enri and the captain woke up almost at the same time and screamed.
Li Shao grabbed a handful of oysters in his hands, turned his head depressed and asked:
"Hey, isn't this an island?"
[You are the island!]
"..."
The voice was deep and heavy, as if he was stuffed in an earthen jar. Li Shao looked around in horror, and then saw the clue in Nalin's pale face. Seeing Li Shao's strange behavior, they also ran back one after another, and they didn't want any oysters. Just like that, they felt their feet swaying. As a result, several people smashed their heads on the conch and almost knocked out their teeth. Before they could get up, they saw the seawater up.
"Hurry up, there will be a huge vortex when this big guy sinks! The rubber boat will all be sucked in!" The captain shouted loudly, "Even if you are a good swimmer, you will die by then!"
"But..." Li Shao and others have not boarded the boat yet.
"Let's go!" Na Lin hurriedly urged, took out the paddle and rowed vigorously.
"No, it's too late, it's almost as good as having an engine, just relying on our hands—"
In a panic, Li Shao has already climbed onto the rubber boat.
"Sea monster, it's a sea monster!! I heard that strange voice again, as if it appeared directly in my mind!" Li Shao was at a loss.
The captain choked up and almost passed out, but the middle-aged man with the wind attribute ability made a very inappropriate sentence:
"Yes, it says you are the island!"
[what?]
The water on the island was already waist-deep, and everyone else climbed into the rubber boats one after another, but they didn't feel the whirlpool after a distance. Looking back, "that island" seemed to shrink in half suddenly. Only the rhizomes and tips are still exposed on the surface of the sea, which seems to be submerged by high tide, and dangles like the dogtail grass under the dam during the high water season in summer.
Now even the stupidest people can understand, this is not a tropical plant, the root is a thriving seaweed!
Speaking of sea monsters, most people suddenly remembered that they had heard such a bizarre story somewhere. The sailors found an island, so they happily ran ashore to find something to eat, and then made a fire to grill the fish. The result was terrible. , The whole island sank, it turned out that it was not the island but the back of a monster! There is also a legend that there is a monster in the ice sea of Western Europe, which often disguises itself as an island to lure the crew to approach, and then suddenly stretches out its tentacles to catch the prey or sinks suddenly to eat the unfortunate people who fell into the sea.
God, have you seen fewer sea monsters along the way? Why does the sea monster follow them all the time
Everyone turned pale with horror.
The captain stared blankly, the sea monster is indeed apart from the giant octopus and the sea snake, there is also this suspected island, waiting for the rabbit to catch the prey—wait for that, how sad it is, catching humans at sea, and looking for water in the desert What's the difference, those who sit on the sidelines will starve to death in the end!
The vortex did not form, because the "sea island" maintained this action and did not sink.
[Human, can you hear my voice?]
An Li, Li Shao, Na Lin, and the wind attribute user all looked at each other in blank dismay.
Several nautical miles away from here, I thought I couldn't understand Xia Yi's explanation of the deep sea, so in order to bring Xia Yi back smoothly, the siren had to make a detour to find a certain sea monster:
[Taumas has lived too long, it can understand many words...]
Xia Yi didn't want to ask, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart, and didn't know what kind of sea monster it was.
Before he thought about it, he heard an excited intermittent infrasound wave from a distance:
[Great, come here quickly...I'll float up immediately...Are you short of food, take all these damned oysters and conch...It's killing me, I swim around with my back every day...What, you don't eat seaweed, why?]gd1806102
