Chapter 7
Wen Zheng turned over and leaped, and climbed up the small life raft he had been aiming for a long time. This inflation-type rubber life raft has floating tires on top, raft bottom at the bottom, and a double-layer tent on the top.
I just looked at it quickly. As soon as Wen Zheng picked up the instructions on the raft, someone stepped on the soft ladder of the life raft. Wen Zheng looked at it without any surprise. It was the girl with long hair.
The long-haired girl grabbed the rope and carefully climbed to the life raft. She nodded slightly when she saw Wen Zheng. Then she crossed over Wen Zheng and found the slurry bag containing the folding paddles.
Wen Zheng was a little embarrassed when he held the instructions for use in his hand. He was a sports student. He was healthy but didn't like to study. There was no content about life rafts in his memory. Wen Zheng himself had not learned about relevant knowledge, so he could only cram for a while.
While taking out the paddles and slurry bags, two young boys climbed onto the life raft, but just as they climbed up, a sound rang out diagonally: "An An, hug your dad's neck tightly." Wen Zheng and the long-haired girl quickly stepped forward to help after seeing the scene outside.
The young father untied the coat outside, protected his daughter firmly, and stood on the ship and jumped down.
The red fish, who was waiting on the sea, turned his head in confusion. The little girl's wound was tightly wrapped in bandages, tape and coat, and was sprayed with a lot of perfume, which temporarily confused the red fish.
The father and daughter were getting closer and closer to the life raft and the sea surface. The red fish, which felt sensitive, finally smelled the smell that attracted them, jumped out of the sea, with a long mouth and... being knocked away smoothly.
Wen Zheng and the long-haired girl, holding the paddle, shot down most of the jumping red fish.
The father and daughter fell safely to the raft surface, were pulled into the cabin by Wen Zheng, and the door curtain was quickly closed.
The red fish hit the life raft and made a snap sound.
The two boys looked panicked, but were pulled up by the girl with long hair, and a paddle appeared in their hands: "Hurry up and row!"
Because the door curtain is closed, the originally unclear smell is completely isolated, and the red fish that loses its attraction changes its target and lets go here.
Other tourists who fled to the death saw the wounded entering and tacitly stayed away from the life raft at the same time.
At this time, the sixth floor of the highest cruise ship also began to lower the life raft.
Wen Zheng looked out and assigned paddles to the two young boys, explaining: "After the cruise ship completely sinks into the bottom of the water, it will sink quickly, and a large amount of sea water fills under it, causing huge whirlpools. We must try our best to row the life raft farther away."
"At the speed at which the cruise ship is sinking now, there is not much time left, so you must leave as soon as possible." Wen Zheng's tone was particularly serious.
Before the two boys could react, they were startled by Wen Zheng's tone and started to wield randomly with the paddles.
The young father handed the daughter in his arms to the girl with a long hair and took the paddle from her hand.
The concave surface of the paddle should be facing backwards, keeping your arms straight..." The father spoke at this time, saying all the skills that sounded very professional. He was studying Wen Zheng's eyes immediately shining. Everyone listened carefully and adjusted their movements according to his words.
"Everyone will follow my command later." The young father was extremely glad that he had a hobby for kayaking, which came in handy at this time.
At this moment, a vortex has formed, producing a considerable suction force. The sea water is sinking behind them, which is where the cruise ship is located, which is exactly the opposite of the direction they are trying to force.
They put the paddle in their hands into the water and began to move, feeling huge resistance.
The four men on the boat were rowing with their paddles, competing with their teeth and using their full strength, and the life raft finally started to move. As long as the difficulties at the beginning were overcome, inertia would make the paddle easier.
"People use paddling to describe laziness, but paddling is obviously so tiring." A boy muttered in a low voice. When he was nervous, his mind would go off and he could not help but speak.
His companion next to him glared at him. He had not escaped danger yet, so he could not speak and save some effort.
A distance of several hundred meters sounds not far, but if you take a raft on the sea and run away, it feels very far.
The long-term swing caused the muscles to be stiff, the strength was constantly consumed, and the arms began to be sore. They gritted their teeth and dared not relax, for fear that they would completely lose their strength once they relaxed.
The long-haired girl held the injured girl and looked at the direction of the cruise ship. The dark clouds in the sky were almost dissipated. The cruise ship was still on, but it was gradually flooded by the sea water. There were countless people riding life rafts and desperately staying away. The red sea fish excitedly rushed towards their favorite prey, dyeing the sea water red.
How unfortunate it is to see the "magnificent" scene that few people can see with their own eyes.
The whirlpool at the sinking position of the cruise ship not only swept away the life rafts and tourists who had not had time to stay away, but also sucked the red sea fish and actually helped them solve this terrible enemy.
seabed.
The unicorn fish finally stopped the itch on the horns. Before they started looking for food, the food was delivered to the door. The red sea fish was stimulated by the smell and did not notice the predators under the sea. They paid the price of their lives for this and were all swallowed into the belly of the unicorn fish.
The full and drunk unconscious fish did not want to move, so it ran towards the newly found angle grinding plate and prepared to have a good sleep inside.
The sea surface has returned to calm.
"We are safe." As soon as the words were finished, the four rowers relaxed, put down their paddles, and worked hard to rub their sore muscles.
"When surviving at sea, try to keep an appropriate distance from the crash site so that we can wait for rescue planes and ships as soon as possible, so let's stay in this position." The young father took over his sleeping daughter and said, "Before the cruise ship accident, the captain should have sent a distress signal, and the rescue should come soon."
No one had an answer soon, and he even had some doubts about whether the distress signal was sent.
As the oldest person on this life raft, he cannot speak discouraged words, and to inspire these companions to be saved.
"We may have to spend a lot of time together next. My name is Qin Yanjie. I usually like to kayaking and learn some survival skills. This is my daughter An An, and I want to take my daughter home." This introduction can arouse everyone's desire to survive.
The word "going home" touched everyone's hearts.
The boy who was rowing was talking first: "My name is Du Peiran. I was admitted to A University this year, and it was just a holiday. It was my birthday. My father gave me two tickets as birthday gifts. They were busy with work and had no time to accompany me. I hope I could have fun on the boat. But... if they knew I was in a shipwreck, they wouldn't know how worried they would be."
The boy next to him patted his shoulder. Du Peiran's eyes were red. After being patted, he hugged another boy and cried loudly: "Xiaohong, it was me who harmed you. If I hadn't invited you to celebrate my birthday with me, you would have stayed at home. But who else could I find if I didn't look for you? I'm in college and haven't even gotten a girlfriend. I'm not going to die until I die..."
Xiang Hong hurriedly covered Du Peiran and explained: "This is the problem he has. He talks a lot when he is nervous and afraid. My name is Xiang Hong, and he is a classmate. This time we encounter a shipwreck, it's just that we are unlucky. There is no question of who harming whom."
The last sentence was obviously said to Du Peiran, and Du Peiran cried louder after hearing it.
Xie Zhuohua burst out laughing, and the suppressed emotions in her heart were released at this moment. She raised a smile and introduced herself to her next partner: "Xie Zhuohua was invited by her friends to play, but there were some conflicts and now they were dispersed."
Except for An An who was asleep, only Wen Zheng had not spoken yet.
Wen Zheng still remembers that this is the game world, and he is observing the expressions of these people next to him. Perhaps it is a benefit for novices. Not only does the partners he meets are reliable or not, he has no intention of harming people for the time being.
Facing everyone's eyes, Wen Zheng said lightly: "Wen Zheng, if you win the prize, come over to see the world."
Anyway, no one knows himself, and this kind of personality can reduce trouble.
After all the six members of the life raft were introduced, Qin Yanjie stood up and bowed to Xie Zhuohua and Wen Zheng: "Thank you!"
Xie Zhuohua was a little helpless when facing Qin Yanjie's actions, and said quickly, "I just saw that Brother Qin, you are protecting your child so much, so I helped."
Wen Zheng also shook his head: "Brother Qin, you have to be polite."
"Yes, why are you so polite? They are all people on life rafts. Let's overcome difficulties together in the next few days." Du Peiran smiled beside him.
Qin Yanjie was the oldest and had more experience than others on the raft. He could paddle and knew about survival knowledge. His words were reasonable and well-founded. He was thus deemed to be the leader of this life raft.
Qin Yanjie, holding his daughter, looked at these young "children" and took the initiative to take responsibility for taking care of them.
The life rafts are equipped with biological rescue items. Qin Yanjie asked everyone to find these items and organize them. The life rafts are equipped with instructions for use, and they can easily find all the items according to the marks above.
There are various gadgets such as inflators, flashlights, whistles, and spare cylinders containing fresh water and life-saving rations, as well as simple medical kits. Seeing these things, everyone feels relieved, so they should be able to persevere until the rescue arrives.
Du Peiran divided the lifesaving rations into six points, and then got his own portion and started eating: "I felt hungry after struggling for so long, so I was not polite. Say whatever you want to eat, I will help you get it."
"Bring me a cookie," Wen Zheng said.
"Okay, Brother Wen, catch it!"
It has only been more than six hours since I came here. The system has set a seven-day survival time, and there is almost no possibility of waiting for rescue during these seven days.
