The sun was shining brightly, and the rocks on the sea surface were also boiling hot.
Dong Xuebin woke up from the heat. When he opened his eyes, he looked around drowsily and sat up holding on to the hot rocks. The lifeguard still didn't come. It was cold at night and hot during the day. The environment here was simply terrible. Dong Xuebin was both
I don't know how long I can hold on.
one day?
Two days?
I'm afraid it won't be that long, he can't hold it anymore now.
It is said that people can last for two or three days without eating or drinking, but that is under normal circumstances. Dong Xuebin experienced life and death several times yesterday afternoon. Not only did he consume a lot of physical energy, but he was also extremely exhausted mentally.
Later, I drifted in the sea for more than ten hours, and was exhausted by several huge waves. The energy and water in my body were almost exhausted. Hungry, thirsty, and tired, all kinds of feelings came to my mind.
In order not to consume energy, Dong Xuebin lay motionless on the hot rocks. The clothes he took off yesterday had long been dried in the sun, so he put them on lightly to resist the attack of ultraviolet rays.
If this continues, I'm going to die.
One hour...
Three hours...
five hours...
Persevere, persevere, and persevere.
But as time passed from morning to afternoon, Dong Xuebin's heart became colder and colder.
It has been exactly twenty-four hours since the plane crashed. According to past practice, most countries in the world will broadcast this kind of crash on the news, and the search and rescue work must have started long ago. It is impossible to abandon the plane and ignore it, but
Up to now, Dong Xuebin didn't even see the shadow of the lifeguard. He was now almost certain that he had drifted away from the sea area where the plane crashed, and it was probably very far away from there, otherwise he would not have been able to see any movement at all.
Dong Xuebin has worked as a police officer and also knows some search and rescue procedures and methods. Generally, a circular search is carried out around the location of the incident to expand the search area. If the distance is too far, it is unlikely to be found.
Will the lifeguard not come?
Can't wait for anything?
Once people lose hope, it is often difficult to persevere, and Dong Xuebin is indeed on the verge of death at this moment. He is too thirsty and hungry.
Drink sea water?
No, you will die faster if you drink it than if you don’t drink it.
Use distillation to turn seawater into fresh water? No fire! No wood! No container!
Dong Xuebin turned over and found a bunch of keys and two business cards. His mobile phone, wallet and other items were all washed away by yesterday's waves.
Eat business cards?
This damn thing doesn’t satisfy your hunger!
The feeling of hunger is almost killing Dong Xuebin. If he continues like this, he may not be able to survive the night without belching, collapse, cold sweat, and weakness all over. Dong Xuebin feels that death is getting closer and closer to him.
, swallowing his dry throat, he sighed deeply, hoping that Sister Xie, Aunt Xuan and Sister Yu can find a good home, I hope Lao Yang can treat his mother better, I hope...
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder on the sea, and a dark cloud floated over!
Is it going to rain?
There will definitely be no less rain on the sea. This is what Dong Xuebin is waiting for. He doesn't care about leaving any last words. He doesn't know where the strength comes from. He stands up from the reef with a sigh, puts on the life jacket, raises his neck and waits.
Rainfall at sea is usually accompanied by waves. If the huge waves like yesterday hit again, the two-meter-high reef will not be able to escape. Therefore, Dong Xuebin lowered his center of gravity as much as possible and supported the tip of a reef to stabilize it.
Body shape.
Ten minutes later, the rain came!
Rumble, thunder, lightning, and pouring rain!
Dong Xuebin was so thirsty that he hurriedly raised his head and drank with his mouth open. Because there were too many gaps in the reef, there were no grooves to hold the rainwater. While drinking, Dong Xuebin did not forget to hold up his hands to catch the rainwater. However,
After all, the area of a pair of hands and a mouth is too small. After struggling for half a minute, Dong Xuebin drank dozens of drops of rainwater. He also poured the raindrops held in his hands into his mouth. It was still not enough. It was at most equal to drinking.
He took a sip of mineral water, but his throat was still dry.
But at this time, the dark clouds are getting away and the rain is about to stop!
Paralysis! Will you die if you wait a little longer?
Dong Xuebin was annoyed, how could this little water be enough? He still couldn't hold on for long, so he had an idea and suddenly shouted... Stop!
The cry of seagulls suddenly stopped!
The waves solidified, the wind suddenly stopped, and everything stopped at this moment.
Dong Xuebin still had four or five minutes left, not much left, so he looked at the countless raindrops still in the air in front of him, and he immediately opened his mouth to bite them, and took them into his mouth one by one, five...
Ten...twenty...fifty...after eating almost all the raindrops near the reef, Dong Xuebin silently chanted "Stop" to release it. Phew, as time went by, the raindrops solidified in his mouth suddenly disappeared.
It turned into water and gathered together, and was swallowed by Dong Xuebin in a big gulp!
So comfortable!
La la la, the rain is still falling and it is about to stop.
Dong Xuebin shouted again, "...stop!"
As soon as the time stopped, Dong Xuebin continued to use his hands and mouth, biting the raindrops while grabbing the water drops next to him with his hands. The rain was very fast, so the water droplets fixed in the air were also very dense, and there were almost five or six in one grab.
After starting to gather together, Dong Xuebin released the stop, swallowed the rainwater in his mouth, and gurgled the rainwater on his hands into his stomach. The feeling of quenching his thirst was so refreshing.
once……
three times……
Five times…
Soon after, Dong Xuebin lay comfortably on the rocks holding his full stomach, drank a drink to his heart's content, and felt comfortable all over.
The water problem has been temporarily solved, and we can eat...
With a roll of his eyes, Dong Xuebin's mind became more flexible. He suddenly sat up from the reef and looked down at the sea. This time the shower did not bring too much wind and waves. The sea calmed down after a while, and the blue waves were rippling. From this angle
It was a very beautiful picture, but Dong Xuebin was obviously not in the mood to appreciate it. He blinked and stared at it for several minutes, and suddenly his eyes lit up!
There are fish!
This is actually nonsense. Of course there are fish in the sea, and there are too many to count.
But you can’t catch fish here. Even if you leave an experienced fisherman here to catch fish with bare hands without a fishing rod, no bait, no fishing net, and nothing else? No matter how good the technology is, it is still difficult, and it can be done here.
It’s not a small river, but a vast ocean! How to catch it?
But Dong Xuebin thought of an idea.
He took off his life jacket, exhaled, and plunged into the sea!
Plop, the cool sea water came from all directions. Dong Xuebin opened his eyes in the water with difficulty. He held his breath and dived around the reef, turning his head and looking around. Half a minute later, Dong Xuebin jumped out of the sea.
Phew, after taking a few breaths, he went into the water again, and the process started again. He just drank a lot of water, and although the feeling of collapse is still there, his strength has gradually recovered.
Ten minutes have passed.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebin squinted his eyes in the sea, and he saw a fish. This sea fish had some spots on its body. Because the light in the sea was not good, he couldn't see clearly what color it was. It seemed to be grayer and bigger.
The child is not small, about the size of an adult carp. At this moment, it is swishing its tail two or three meters in front of Dong Xuebin, with its back to Dong Xuebin, and swimming very fast.
That’s it!
Dong Xuebin's swimming speed was obviously not comparable to that of a fish. As soon as he reached out his hand, the sea fish was frightened away, changed direction, and swam faster.
Want to run?
stop!
The sea water suddenly froze around! Time stopped!
All objects at rest will be affected by a "static force". For example, if a mobile phone falls into the air, Dong Xuebin needs to exert more force than usual to drag the mobile phone. The same is true for sea water.
After the stop, Dong Xuebin could walk on the sea surface without falling into the water. Now in the water, he has to use a lot of force to break away the solidified sea water and move forward.
Ten centimeters...
Twenty centimeters...
Half a meter...
Just when Dong Xuebin could hardly hold his breath, his hand finally reached the motionless sea fish in front of him and pinched it tightly!
stop is lifted!
…
…
Time is restored!
The sea fish was struggling in his hands, and of course Dong Xuebin couldn't let go. His nails dug into the fish's body, and he quickly swam out of the water, climbed onto the rocks, and gasped for air.
Finally got it!
Dong Xuebin slammed the fish to death, looked down, and began to disembowel it, removing the fish bones and lungs. He went into the water and rinsed the fish blood. After taking it up, Dong Xuebin looked at the raw fish meat with some nausea.
, swallowed, took a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hmm, it's salty and fishy, not very tasty.
But what can he find fault with now? Eating fish fillets is better than eating business cards, right? Besides, isn’t there a kind of sashimi that is eaten raw?
Eat it!
What kind of bike do you want?
Dong Xuebin was so hungry that he didn't care whether it tasted good or not. He killed this unknown species of sea fish in three strokes, five by two, and finally burped and swallowed two or three kilograms of fish meat.
, I am full, but my stomach suddenly hurts a little. Maybe eating raw will inevitably lead to parasites and the like. Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly. It hurts. It is better than starving to death, right? At least he still knows now.
It's uncomfortable. This is Dong Xuebin. If he had been replaced by another person, let alone eating fish, he probably wouldn't even be able to touch the shadow of a fish.
Lying on the rocks, Dong Xuebin looked at the sun that was about to set with nothing to do, his eyes were light, and complicated eyes flashed past.
If the lifeguard doesn't come, will I have to live at sea for the rest of my life?
And even if the problem of food and clothing is solved now, the fear is only temporary. If it doesn't rain for three days or if no fish can be found, he will still die.
what to do?
How can I go back?
Dong Xuebin didn't know that this was the first time he realized that human beings are so insignificant in front of nature and cannot resist at all.
