At the end of their field of vision, there was a small island.
Since there was a small island, there might be people living there. For a moment, both of them were very excited. However, at this time, the direction of the ship was controlled by the sea. Although they could see the island in their field of vision, the direction of the ship was not there. Jiaming immediately ran into the cabin, opened the small door of the messy engine room at the back, and went in.
When Ling Jing followed him in, she saw that Jia Ming was busy with a bunch of machinery that she couldn't understand. Sometimes he would remove this part, sometimes he would add the iron pipe, and while he was busy, he would connect the wires one by one.
Lingjing wanted to help, but at this time, she couldn't. In order not to block Jiaming's work, she had to leave.
Not long after, Jiaming pulled out a wire from the small door and connected it to an instrument connector that he fixed yesterday. After that, he was busy pressing buttons. After a while, there was an amazing roar coming from the engine room. Lingjing almost thought that the ship was going to explode.
Not long after, in the obviously abnormal roar of the propeller, the gunship began to turn.
"Great, great … I hope it can last a little longer, at least let us drive over …"
Seeing Jiaming adjusting the joystick and finally aiming at the island, Lingjing excitedly rushed over, "Great, Jiaming, you're great, you fixed the ship!
Jiaming, you're the best! "
Letting Lingjing kiss him on the cheek, Jiaming said with a smile, "Oh, it's not fixed, it's just temporarily usable. I just don't know how long it can last, I hope it can last until we reach the island …"
"It can definitely."
Lingjing was more confident in Jiaming. She smiled and said, "Why don't we jump into the sea and swim over, it's a deserted island that only belongs to us …"
"Huh?" After hearing Lingjing's words, Jiaming was slightly stunned. "Why a deserted island?"
"Because it's written like this in the books …"
"Then we'll be Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and Mr. Friday."
Jiaming helplessly smiled. He saw Lingjing shouting loudly in the direction of the island. Her cheeks were flushed red and she was in high spirits. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. There were no signs of people, why was she so happy …
In fact, during the day yesterday, Lingjing was worried about a lot of things. Although Jiaming was also worried, he had seen the fear of death many times, so he didn't feel much at this time. Besides, he was still calculating whether he could repair the radio.
Lingjing thought of some books she had read in the past. When there was no fresh water or food at sea, it was too scary. During the Nordic Age of Discovery, many ships could not see land for a year or two. Without food and fresh water, people would slowly become crazy.
Although the ship's water storage was sufficient, who knew how long it could last? Moreover, how long could the food last?
What were they going to do then?
Thinking of the scene of Jiaming eating her when there was no food, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable shudder from the bottom of her heart.
Words couldn't describe that feeling. It was actually not fear. At this moment, she trusted Jiaming and didn't think that Jiaming would eat her in order to survive.
But the fanciful thought involuntarily floated up to her. What would she feel if she were faced with death, and her beloved had eaten her, and survived?
Would she be happy?
Warm?
Or something else … This was the little dark emotion in Lingjing's heart when facing a possible death situation. Even if it was Jiaming, she couldn't tell it.
But at this moment, such a shadow was swept away, and naturally, it was worth shouting a few times happily.
The speed of the propeller seemed to have reached the limit. In the hull, the noise was shockingly loud.
The scenery on the island in front of them gradually became clear. The white beach, the green forest, and the seagulls circling in the air. It was a mesmerizing scene. Suddenly, a series of loud bangs came from the back of the cabin. After the bang, the sound of the propeller could no longer be heard.
Jiaming shrugged and smiled at Lingjing. "The shaft of the propeller is broken. Now this ship can only be operated with oars.
However, at this speed, we can directly land on the island … "
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang. The hull shook violently. Jiaming reached out and caught Lingjing, who was about to fall to the ground. He ran out of the cabin and looked down at the sea below. Jiaming couldn't help but smile bitterly. "We hit a reef …"
The hull was strong enough that this collision didn't break a big hole in the bottom of the ship.
Jiaming and Lingjing lowered the anchor together. Then, they sorted out a few things in the cabin, stuffed them into a large camouflage backpack, and rowed all the way to the small island in an emergency kayak.
The scenery looked beautiful from afar, but when they really landed, they found that there were no traces of man-made destruction. Except for the sound of the sea, the surroundings were strangely quiet.
"It can't be … it's really a deserted island …" Roughly patrolling the area around one kilometer, Jiaming didn't find any traces of human beings. Although there was a mountain in front of them, they didn't know the exact size of the island. But if there were people living here, they should have left some traces everywhere. Carrying the backpack, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. As the country with the largest population in the world, it actually had an uninhabited deserted island. What a shameful thing this was.
However, it was hard to say whether they had already left the border of China and reached Japan or Southeast Asia.
That afternoon, the two went all the way up the mountain through the forest. The forest didn't seem to have been damaged by people, and there weren't even any traces of people. Jiaming walked in front to explore the way, and Lingjing followed behind him. The forest was lush with plants, and Lingjing was occasionally tripped by branches and leaves that grew out horizontally.
Jiaming was afraid that she would be bored, so he pointed out the strange plants one by one to Lingjing and explained the various uses of these plants. He was very skilled in survival in the wild, and his knowledge in this area was comparable to that of a biologist. After a moment, he made Lingjing admire him, and in the end, she hatefully chased after Jiaming and hit him a few times.
Lingjing was a good girl since childhood, and thought that her knowledge was the most profound among the three of them. Although she didn't have the intention to show off, she still felt proud when she occasionally thought about it. At this moment, she knew that Jiaming was much better than her. This was the type of anger that came from acting spoiled. Jiaming begged for mercy, and secretly decided that he must not admit that he could understand all the exam questions at a glance.
En, in front of his own people, it was safer to be a fool.
On the way up the mountain, they found that there was fresh water on the island, and a clear stream meandered through the mountain. Jiaming and Lingjing were happy in their hearts. This way, even if they were really trapped on the island, they wouldn't have to be afraid of anything.
The journey was peaceful, but when they were about to reach the peak, a small incident occurred. When they passed by a bush, Jiaming suddenly raised his right hand, and then the sound of a whip was heard, which scared Lingjing. When she looked again, she saw that Jiaming was carrying a triangular-headed, one meter long poisonous snake. Because the bones of the body were all scattered, there was no threat at this time. Jiaming found the dead snake and put it in a bag. Lingjing wrinkled her nose and cutely rolled her eyes.
They reached the top of the mountain around four in the afternoon. With the mountain as the boundary, the size of the island was about the same, and there was actually a small lake in the foothills.
Using the binoculars to look around, there were indeed no traces of man-made buildings.
Seeing that there wasn't much time left, the two hurriedly went down the mountain. Before they left the forest, the sky was gradually darkening. Turning on the flashlight of the submachine gun, Lingjing followed closely behind Jiaming.
Around eight in the evening, tents were set up at the edge of the forest, and a bonfire was lit. The food, iron pots, and other things on the boat had already been moved down.
After a busy afternoon, Lingjing also felt very tired. After dinner, the two wrapped themselves in blankets and hugged each other to sleep in the tent.
Lingjing in Jiaming's arms quietly planned their future life on the island. She wanted to build a sturdy wooden house, find edible fruits and other things to plant, or catch a few small animals to eat on the island.
Jiaming didn't plan to live on the island forever. After listening to her, he only smiled faintly.
The day of October 6th passed just like that. The next day, Jiaming and Lingjing paddled the small raft back to the boat to repair the radio. After a busy day, if they were in a more normal environment, the National Day holiday was about to end, and they should be preparing for school. Lingjing would help the two of them prepare their school bags, and Shasha would be noisily planning the activities of the new club. Jiaming, who didn't show his skills, would occasionally be ordered around by the two of them. Sometimes he would play on the computer, and sometimes he would be in a daze … That night, sitting by the beach, Lingjing said, "I miss Shasha so much …"
At the end of the day, the three of them were good friends who grew up together like conjoined twins. Even after they had sex, their friendship seemed to be more important than their relationship as husband and wife. If it wasn't for this, the two of them probably wouldn't have liked Jiaming alone.
Even if there was a little jealousy in their hearts, it had completely disappeared after the incident with Yuri a few days ago.
On October 8th, they were still repairing the radio. According to Jiaming's estimation, it would probably be repaired in another day.
In the evening, just as they were about to call it a day and return to the beach, a signal light on the boat suddenly rang. Lingjing called Jiaming into the cabin. It was a signal receiver that had already been repaired. When he saw the light turn on, Jiaming had a bad feeling. This should be the communication method that the group of mercenaries had prepared. Since it could be received here, it meant that the other party was also close to the island.
After carefully identifying the signal for a long time, Jiaming and Lingjing rowed a small rubber raft back to the beach. They then went all the way to the other end of the island along the beach. The sky gradually darkened. The sound of the waves splashing on the rocks could be heard.
Hiding behind a large rock, Jiaming used binoculars to observe the situation on the other side. He then handed it to Lingjing.
In the closer view, two relatively intact gunboats were parked on the beach in the distance. The mercenaries with weapons in their hands set up tents on the beach and lit bonfires. There were nearly a hundred of them.
Seeing Jiaming smile comfortingly and clench the gun in his hand, Lingjing's heart suddenly tightened again …
