Awakening

~: 179-drifting

"What do you mean by saying that this boat can't be opened?" A student screamed.

Lei Yin said faintly: "Yes, the engine of this ship is fired by electronic pulse, but because the instrument panel inside the captain's room is wet by rain, not only the engine can't start, but even the radio. It is also short-circuited. In other words, now we can't move, and we can't ask for help from outside."

His words made everyone's heart in the cabin sink.

“Is there no other way?” another student hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I heard that this kind of engine can be manually started by switching the circuit, but I don't know how to do it. If no one of you knows it, then only wait for the captain to wake up and find a solution." The hidden electronic knowledge is a few decades ago and is not suitable for the present era. And his former homeowner of this body is an electronic idiot who only knows how to play.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man who was lying unconscious on the bench.

"It doesn't matter if the boat can't be opened. If there is a time, someone should come to save us." A boy said with ease.

Hearing his words, other people also felt that things were not as terrible as they were supposed to be, and they could not help but relax.

"You are right, but only if we have enough food and water to survive until we are rescued, not to starve or thirst. Also be sure that we will not encounter storms like before." Lei Yin’s words reminded everyone’s heart again. They were still impressed by the previous storm.

The boy was not willing to be persuaded by him, and immediately retorted: "You are just speculation. Maybe after a while there will be a helicopter to save us."

Lei glanced at him and said, "If not? I just looked at the cabin and didn't find anything to eat. Now we don't know where the ship was surrounded by the storm and how far it was. If no one comes to save us in two or three days, all of us will starve to death here. Can you guarantee that someone will come to save us within two days?"

The boy couldn’t speak.

"Do you have any other way?" another male student asked.

"Just a while ago, I saw a few seabirds flying through the sky, which means there should be land in a place not far away. My idea is to divide everyone into two groups and then row on each side. Until you find the land."

"What do you say, you asked us to go boating to find land? Do you think it is the Columbus era?" A student laughed.

Lei Yin looked at him indifferently. After a while, he said, "Is it funny? To be honest, it is not my habit to wait for death. If you don't agree with this plan, it doesn't matter. Even if I only have one person, I will draw it. The lifeboat is going to do this. If there is a plane to rescue you, please stop talking to the pilot about my position."

The boy who first asked the Lei Xian question said at the moment: "I think this plan is feasible. Instead of waiting for the rescue here, it is better to wait for help while waiting for help."

Others thought about it and thought it was much better than waiting for the rescue. Finally, most people agreed to the plan.

Because this program was proposed by Ray Hidden, the students agreed to be executed by him when the people were grouped.

Lei Yin did not deny it. He divided the male and female mixed arrangement into two groups to ensure that the physical strength of both groups remained average. Because the paddle was not enough, he asked the students to take the cabinet or bench apart and use it as a paddle.

Although some people are unwilling to draw, but in the eyes of everyone, they can only follow suit. Fortunately, this ship is a small and medium-sized passenger ship, there is no heavy object inside, so it is not too hard to draw. However, because most people do not have the experience of drawing a large ship, not only does the output not be averaged, but the rhythm of the stroke is not correct, so that the hull will turn around in time from time to time.

Seeing this, Lei Yin had to teach them the correct posture and the same rhythm. It wasn't until he talked dryly that the students finally slowly slid the boat forward instead of turning around.

The entire ship has a total of more than 40 people. After nearly four hours of planning, in the case of tired and hot, students who have never been so hard have begun to complain more and more.

"I don't do it. Isn't it really good to ask for help? Why do we have to work so hard?" The male student who first opposed the program yelled at the paddle in his hand.

Under his leadership, several students stopped to follow.

"I don't want to draw any more, we still have to wait for the rescue."

"Yeah, really tired."

"I think there should be a helicopter to save us soon. We are still waiting here."

"I am very thirsty, I want to drink water."

"You just didn't drink it? Now there is only one bucket of water left, just let it go."

Because there is drinking water for the guests in the ship's warehouse, so the water is not so tight for a while. Just because the weather is too hot and the number is large, drinking water is consumed very quickly.

Watching more and more people stop and complain, the student of this program asked Lei Yin: "What are you doing now?"

Lei looked at the students who complained, and then sneered and said: "There is no saying that the coffin does not cry. Wait, when they start to fear, they will continue to draw."

"Is this really okay?"

"Maybe. I hope they will have the strength to continue rowing when they arrive." Lei said faintly.

He had thought about going to the front of the land with a lifeboat with Amy's, but he didn't want to do it at the last minute. Because it is the sea, not the lake, the lifeboat is too small. If there is a big storm on the way, the lifeboat can easily be overturned by a big wave.

But he does not have any hope for these people. If the situation remains unchanged tomorrow afternoon, he will take a chance.

He walked into the cabin and saw Amy's being talking in the middle of the old American couple.

In the whole boat, except for the unconscious captain, the only young Amy's and the old couple who can not row.

When I heard the familiar footsteps, the little girl turned her head and looked at the door of the cabin. I saw that the person who came in was Ray Hidden.

Melissa jumped excitedly from the chair and ran to him.

Very wonderfully, seeing her happy smile, Lei Yin's mood is also a lot better.

Bent over and picked her up. "Is the captain uncle awake?"

The little girl shook her head.

I didn't want to worry her, he looked at her little face and said, "Do not worry, we will definitely go back safely, I promise."

Amy's nodded seriously and then hugged his neck and said, "As long as Ray is by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

Because everyone just went out for breakfast, so in the evening, the young stomach began to afflict the same young students.

"Hey, who has something to eat? Bread can also be."

"Yeah, everyone is a classmate. If there is something, don't hide it."

For some of these meaningless voices, most people choose to be silent, and they have no feeling of speaking.

After a few people called a pass, they also closed their mouths with a little self-confidence.

Because there are too many people, the deck does not lie so much, so many people go to the bilge to go to sleep to get through the unbearable hunger.

At around nine o'clock, there was silence in the cabin.

Early the next morning, the students in their sleep heard the sound of someone quarreling.

"Bastard, what have you done?"

"What are you doing so loudly? We just use water to clean it."

"You don't use sea water, why use the water here? Don't you know that the water is for drinking?"

"You are sick, the sea is so dirty, how do we use it? And we just use a little bit, what are you so nervous? I don't think you are such a stingy person."

"What point, you have used a third of it."

The awakened student opened his eyes and saw that two girls were arguing with a boy.

The reason for the quarrel is simple because several girls use those drinking water to clean the mouth and face. If it is normal, no one will have any opinion, but in the ferry where the ship is stopped, the bucket of drinking water is the only remaining barrel. I saw that there was only half a bucket left in the bucket of water. Not only the boy, but other boys could not help but yell at the two girls.

The two girls were crying out. "It’s not only us, but other people are also useful, but they walk away after they run out."

In the afternoon, a boy couldn't help but feel the strong hunger and kicked the chair next to him.

"When will those guys come? When we go on like this, all of us will die here."

Other students looked at his meaningless actions with no eyes. For the first time, they found out that hunger was such a terrible thing.

At this time, the student of the self-help program stood up and said loudly: "Don't you still have to be here to wait for the rescue? If there is no one tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, what will we do then?"

Hearing his words, everyone’s heart is one sinking. It’s just that it’s been so difficult one day apart. They can’t imagine what it will be in two or three days.

"You shut up to me. At this time, I even said such unlucky words." The first objectioned student stood up and stared at him.

Ray, who had been standing outside the deck, heard the quarrel in the cabin and walked in. "I will ask you again, are you still insisting on staying here and waiting to die?"

"Bastard, what are you talking about?" the student yelled angrily.

"The person who should shut up is you. If you dare to say it again, I will throw you into the sea right away." Ray’s eyes showed dangerous eyes.

Seeing his eyes, the student immediately remembered the horror of this person and suddenly dared not speak again.

Lei Yin said to the students who were looking at himself: "You have no choice. If you don't want to die, do as I said. Now pick up your paddles and go to the deck."

The students who were tortured by hunger and completely lost their opinions could not help but stand up.

Looking at the students who were rowing the boat with powerlessness, Lei Yin really wanted to learn the former slave owner to find the root whip and smoke them.

Looking at the constantly rising waves, he suddenly flashed a flash of light, could not help but secretly swear by himself, even for such a simple matter to forget.

He immediately returned to the cabin and pulled all the curtains on the window. Then walked to the bottom of the bilge and found a roll of rope, then climbed the top of the cabin with the curtains and rope.

Lei Yin’s move caught the attention of others, and they all looked at him in confusion.

"What does he want to do?"

"I do not know."

After a while, when Lei Yin tied one side of the thick cloth that put a few curtains together with thin wire on the flagpole, they finally understood that he was doing the sail.

A few minutes later, when Lei Yin erected the slightly rough sail and tied it with a rope, he pointed to the following boys and said, "Let's come up."

The boys looked at each other and climbed up the ladder inside the cabin.

"I will teach you how to adjust the angle of the sail according to different wind directions. From now on, several of us must take turns here to watch." After that, regardless of their disagreement, he began to teach them by hand.

The boys have only known such a simple canvas until now, as long as the angle is adjusted well, it can actually speed up the ship so much. Compared with mechanical boating, such work is easy and fun, so they quickly learn very seriously.

Soon after, at night, the hunger that is stronger than yesterday has once again invaded everyone's stomach. Many people have no strength to stand up, all sitting softly on the chair.

"Ray, can you eat a little too?" At this time, on the top of the cabin, the little girl sitting on Leiyin's thigh was pushing a piece of bread to his mouth.

These pieces of bread were the only food he found in the captain's room, probably the captain's breakfast left yesterday. At that time, he did not tell anyone, just quietly put it away and prepared to leave it to Amy.

"No, you can eat." Lei Yin smiled and patted her face.

The little girl’s eyes are red. “But you have never eaten in these two days. Would you please eat something?”

"I am really not hungry."

"If you don't eat, then I don't eat."

"If you don't listen, I will hit your ass. Hurry and eat it."

Seeing that he was a little unhappy, the little girl had to eat the piece of bread slyly, but she shed tears as she ate.

Seeing her crying like this, Lei Yin was a little guilty, so she gently touched her hair with her hand. "I'm sorry, kid."

The little girl raised his tearful eyes and looked at him, then tied his head to his chest and cried.

After a while, she twitched as she cried and said, "I am so afraid of Ray."

"Do not worry, I will not have anything. I will definitely send you back safely." Lei Yin smiled and dried her tears with sleeves.

The little girl stared at his smile.

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ At noon on the third day, looking at the endless sea, many people showed a desperate look .

At this time, most people are already hungry and can't stand up, let alone rowing.

Anyway, there are sails now, they are no different from rowing, so Lei Yin is too lazy to control them. Since yesterday afternoon, he has been observing the floating objects on the sea.

His guess is correct, they must have an island in front of the direction they are driving. Because of the growing number of plant debris drifting from the sea, the ship is not far from the island.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, everyone in the sleep was awakened by a strong impact, and some people even fell from the chair.

Then the students who had been sleeping on the deck heard constant screams from underneath the bilge, and then they saw many students ran from the bottom of the bilge.

"Wake up, the cabin is in the water."

"What, the cabin is flooded? Why is this happening?"

"Yeah, it’s really getting into the water, what should I do now?"

"Quickly think of blocking the gap."

"The gap is too big to be blocked."

At this time, Ray Hid ran down from the top of the cabin and said loudly: "The ship may have hit the reef. Now everyone is wearing a life jacket. We have to abandon the ship and escape. There is an island in front, where we can land."

"What, there is an island in front? Are you talking about it?" A boy screamed with excitement.

"Less Luo, hurry to wear a life jacket." After that, he picked up a life jacket and put it on Amy's, and then put on one.

Because there were only two lifeboats on board, Lei Yin only let the unconscious captain, the old couple and the female students get on the boat. Some boys wanted to squeeze into the boat, but they were hit back by the thunder.

Since the two lifeboats were too small, in the end there were three female students who could not get on the boat. They had to wear life jackets like other boys to catch the edge of the lifeboat and float on the sea.

Lei Yin was the last one to launch, but after two or three meters of swimming, he suddenly swam back to the sinking ferry.

After a while, he swam back from the boat with a round thing.

When he swam to the two lifeboats, he shouted: "Little devil, where are you?"

Soon, he heard the voice of Amy's, and he immediately swam to another lifeboat where she was.

When he saw Amy's sitting on the lifeboat, he let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, regardless of the person on the lifeboat or the person floating on the sea, you can see a huge black shadow in front of the faint starlight.

"Yeah, it's really an island, and we are saved now." Many people can't help but cheer.

Compared with the excitement of the students, Lei Yin did not feel particularly happy. Because he saw the island dark, there was no light at all. In other words, the island is likely to be an uninhabited desert island.

But no matter what, it is much better than drifting in the sea without aim. Ray is so in my heart.
