Chapter 39 The Jungle

With a bang, the ship shook again, and a huge splash of water hit the ship. Zhao Xiu stepped on the blood-stained and sea-soaked deck, and his feet slipped suddenly. With a sound of "here", the people on both sides of the exchange of fire immediately saw the two of them, and the expression of the ghost moved, staring at the two of them.

He seemed to have thought of something in an instant, and he rushed out while taking advantage of the chaos, and shot towards Zhao Xiu's position.

The wooden boxes in front of the two people had long since slipped and disappeared, and some were shattered into pieces by bullet holes, leaving nowhere to hide.

Zhao Xiu took a deep breath, rolled to the edge of the deck, and the whole cruise ship began to tilt. Could it be that the people on both sides didn't plan to take that batch of cargo, and wanted to sink the cruise ship directly?Hold!

He saw Lin Yuanqi dodging the bullets that flew from time to time, his nimble movements were stretched by the more and more intensive gunfire, but fortunately, the people on their side kept shooting towards the ghost head, hindering them action.

Lin Yuanqi's clothes were wiped on the floor, stained with blood, and he ran out of bullets.

Zhao Xiu suddenly saw a group of people coming behind the ghost head, and directly opened fire on them with a gun.

It's the ghost's reinforcements!

Zhao Xiu's eyes froze, and he quickly weighed the current situation.

If they can't stop it, they can only be beaten into a hornet's nest when those people come over.

He glanced at the tumbling sea below, his face sank, and he shouted to Lin Yuanqi: "Jump!"

Lin Yuanqi watched Zhao Xiu jump into the sea with a thud, without even hesitating, he rolled directly from behind the pile of wooden boxes to the edge of the deck, the bullets brushed past his body, almost hit him several times, and Hidden by him.

"Brother Ghost!" The reinforcements rushed up.

"What nonsense, shoot." Guitou pointed at Lin Yuanqi, watching him jump into the sea from under his eyelids in astonishment.

The person who rescued the lifeboat has been dealt with, he led the charge to the place where Lin Yuanqi jumped, pointed at the figure floating in the sea, and said sharply: "Hit!"

The seawater poured into the ears from all directions, and the icy cold seawater squeezed the body. Zhao Xiu jumped up to the surface of the sea and plunged his head into the sea for a moment. At this time, the people who popped up will become the targets, and those guys will attack all moving objects. , He dived into the water and swam forward continuously. It was a dead end on the boat, and he might not be able to go anywhere safely if he jumped into the sea.

This is the sea, not a small river. He can swim for a while, but he can't keep going. People who soak in the sea can't resist the cold after dark at night. They must find a place to dock before dark, otherwise Either exhausted and drowned, or frozen to death.

Zhao Xiu slid his hands and feet quickly. Of course, he couldn't jump into the sea without preparation. He was also a stowaway in the past 20 years, so he knew the situation of this sea area roughly, plus the map of the sea area that Chen Zhao sent just now. , as soon as you connect, you can know that there is a small island to the west of the place where the cruise ship stops. As long as you can swim to that place, you will have a way to survive!

As for Lin Yuanqi, Zhao Xiu's heart sank, and at the critical moment of life and death, each had to settle for his own fate.

Zhao Xiu held his breath, buried his head and swam forward with all his strength, when suddenly there was a gunshot on the sea, and just as his head came out of the water, he saw a person not far away who was paddling vigorously. Opening fire on the sea, I don't know if he hit that person, the moment his head appeared, Zhao Xiu finally saw clearly, that guy was actually Lin Yuanqi!

Zhao Xiu didn't hesitate, and buried his head in the sea water again.

People are selfish, even if he has an agreement with Lin Yuanqi, that guy has helped him several times, it is impossible to turn around to save him at this time, Zhao Xiu slid his hands and feet desperately, he has to live, and only by living To collect debts from the bastards who cheated him.

The strong water pressure squeezed the eardrums, and there was a buzzing sound in the ears. We must find the island before our strength is exhausted!

After swimming for a certain distance, the sound of gunfire and cannon fire finally subsided, and Zhao Xiu also expended a lot of energy. He was exhausted and weak, so he could only rely on his strength to support his journey to the west.

The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and he didn't even know if he was heading in the wrong direction. He kept saying to himself, that's where it is, and it's not far away. He didn't die at sea in his previous life, so he won't die here this time.

The salty taste filled his mouth and nose, his whole body was exhausted, and when he was almost in a trance, he finally saw the faint land in front of him. He tried to open his eyes and looked ahead, and he didn't know where he had a burst of strength. Start paddling hard.

He was about to see the shore, but the distance that seemed short to his eyes was obviously much longer than he expected.

It's getting closer, a little closer, but it's only a few hundred meters away. Zhao Xiu felt that his hands and feet were getting heavier and heavier. At this moment, his feet were caught by something, and that thing was holding his feet tightly. Turning around, I actually saw Lin Yuanqi!

I don't know how long this guy has been following behind him...

He looked very bad, he had probably stretched to the limit, he could only use his last strength to hold Zhao Xiu's leg tightly.

Zhao Xiu stopped, turned around and stared at him closely.

Seeing that Lin Yuanqi was injured, he was able to swim along behind him without any interest until here, whether it was perseverance or ruthlessness, it made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

But he tugged at his feet!Zhao Xiu's lack of strength instantly lost even faster.

Zhao Xiu subconsciously wanted to stretch out his feet to kick, but Lin Yuanqi had already floated up with all his strength. He hugged Zhao Xiu's waist tightly, making it difficult for Zhao Xiu to even move. Zhao Xiu struggled hard, but did not shake. open him.

In the boundless sea, if Lin Yuanqi wanted to live, he could only hold onto Zhao Xiu tightly.

Zhao Xiu turned his head and looked at the person clinging to him. The distance between the two of them was very close, and their bodies were close together. At this moment, Lin Yuanqi actually opened his eyes. He looked at Zhao Xiu quietly, panting heavily.

Zhao Xiu's heart trembled when he saw him, his brows twitched, this guy's face was as white as paper, could it be that he was really injured after jumping off the boat?

Lin Yuanqi didn't speak, he took a breath, closed his eyes, and let go slowly.

In a daze, a pair of hands pulled his sinking body out of the sea water.

Zhao Xiu looked at the drowning guy with a complicated expression, his brows were tightly knit together.

He can't die yet.

If Lin Yuanqi died, the agreement between the two of them would become empty talk, and all the available resources he got from Lin Yuanqi would be invalidated.

Just like the time at Jueya's gate, no matter which one of the people around Lin Yuanqi returned alive, he would become the target of public criticism.

Lin Yuanxiang will not let anyone around Lin Yuanqi have a chance to stand up.

All the available resources that Zhao Xiu obtained before will be completely destroyed under the attack of the Green Gang.

It will even repeat what happened 20 years ago, and be hunted down by the Green Gang again.

Panting for breath, he tried his best to float in the sea water with the least effort.

If Lin Yuanqi survives this time, after returning, the battle between him and Lin Yuanxiang will be completely on the table. With Lin Yuanqi's viciousness and vengeance, he will not let those guys go easily. If it gets messed up, the entire underground forces in Dragon City will also be reshuffled accordingly.

Zhao Xiu is not afraid to face the scheming and vicious Lin Yuanqi once again, but he is even more afraid of the future that cannot be grasped.

He took a long breath, ignored the strange emotions in Lin Yuanqi's heart when he let go, and dragged Lin Yuanqi to the shore step by step with the standard lifeguard posture.

Now that you have made a decision in your heart, you must do your best to make it happen.

Zhao Xiu dragged Lin Yuanqi's body, swimming in the sea with difficulty, he could hardly see the front, his body was also in a state of numbness, he could only swim in that direction with his mind.

If he can survive this time, Lin Yuanqi owes him his life.

Zhao Xiu thought vaguely in his mind that he could vaguely see the beach.

His strength was exhausted faster and faster, he licked his chapped lips, if he could have a glass of water at this time, even if it didn't smell at all, a glass of plain water would be fine.

He kept staring at the beach, a wave from the sea hit his head, he swallowed a mouthful of salty water, his eyes were also dyed with pain, and became vaguely sour.

He hooked Lin Yuanqi's neck, and his strong desire to survive made his limbs, which had lost a few pounds of strength, slide mechanically.

Another big wave hit, Zhao Xiu's body softened, and Lin Yuanqi was thrown into the sea together, his body seemed to be falling apart, sinking continuously.

Ice-cold sea water poured into the mouth, is it really about to die?

Suddenly feeling a burst of heat on his back, Zhao Xiu was taken aback. The instinctive desire of human beings to survive made him kick his legs hard and emerge from the sea water.

He breathed heavily, coughing out the choking sea water in his throat.

Even at the moment when he was about to get discouraged, Zhao Xiu didn't let go of Lin Yuanqi's hand.

He didn't want to die, dragging his heavy body, Zhao Xiu actually started to swim slowly again.

The coast is getting closer and closer, and hope gradually rises in my heart.

The moment he hit the land, he was lying down in the sand.

Lin Yuanqi, who was in a coma, was lying beside him, his clothes had been torn to pieces because of the previous escape on the boat, and now he was in a mess.

Zhao Xiu was lying on his back on the sandy ground, unable to lift his hands.

The mouth is even more dry and astringent. After soaking in the sea for such a long time, the whole body is salty, and the throat is dry and hoarse, as if choking sand into it.

When his breath was almost smooth, he turned his head to look at Lin Yuanqi who was dragged ashore by him.

The guy's face was pale and blue, his eyes were closed, and his body was motionless.

Zhao Xiu was startled, and quickly turned sideways to check his breath. If this guy died, he would have wasted so much effort to save him. He drank so much sea water just now, he must have passed away.

Zhao Xiu frowned, looked at Lin Yuanqi's mouth and nose, it was not blocked by sand, he propped himself up, straddled Lin Yuanqi's body with his legs apart, gave him emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation, took a breath, and opened his mouth. His mouth bent down, and after a few back and forth, Lin Yuanqi coughed twice, finally opened his eyes, first his eyelashes moved, and then he came to his senses, he looked at Zhao Xiu with complicated eyes, and for a while The room fell silent.

Zhao Xiu exhaled, got off his body, and fell down next to him. The two of them just lay on their backs in the mud and sand, closing their eyes to recover their strength.

He didn't die, Lin Yuanqi actually survived.

But this was only temporary safety. Now Zhao Xiu only wanted to recover his strength quickly. There was no fresh water or food. How long could they last on this small island where there were no wild animals?

He opened his eyes and looked at the endless blue sky, such a good weather, but in such a ghostly place.

Once the feeling of being lucky to swim ashore was over, I began to worry about my next survival.

This time, even he didn't know if he could survive.

Zhao Xiu didn't lie on the ground for a long time, and when he regained some strength, he got up. There was a large tropical jungle behind the island. With his current situation, he couldn't rush into it. There are many snakes and insects in this kind of place. If there were too many, if he was bitten by a snake or touched a poisonous plant, he wouldn't have to wait to starve to death.

This place belongs to the tropics, and it is estimated that it will get dark in a while. Before it gets dark, they must at least find a place where they can stay. The jungle is too dangerous. As for the beach, it is the rainy season. The weather is so good now, maybe There will be heavy rain in a while, and if the tide rises at night, you can't stay on the beach for long.

Zhao Xiu took a deep breath. When he was in prison before, he thought life was difficult enough. At that time, he smuggled from country Hua to country A and passed through Canada. , No, it can no longer be described like this now, it should be said that in this life, such troublesome things seem to be indispensable.

Zhao Xiu stood up and looked at Lin Yuanqi again, seeing that he was still lying on the ground, he took a few steps.

"Get up." Stretching out and kicking the guy on the ground, Lin Yuanqi really opened his eyes. He glanced at Zhao Xiu, sat up slowly, and looked around the situation.

"What are you going to do?" His voice was hoarse, but he was still calm and indifferent. For some reason, Zhao Xiu noticed the crack on his lip. His eyes darkened, and he turned his head and pointed at the jungle, "This We should be able to find food somewhere, but we can’t go in like this now, it’s getting dark, so we’ll find a place higher up first, when the tide comes up, it’s not safe here anymore.”

Indeed, the place where they were lying just now was very wet with sand, a bit like the part exposed after the sea water receded.

Lin Yuanqi nodded, he stood up and walked to Zhao Xiu's side, and actually took out the communicator from his pants.

Lin Yuanqi didn't throw away this thing along the way?

"Try it." Lin Yuanqi threw something to Zhao Xiu, and he leaned against a big tree with dense branches and leaves.

Zhao Xiu really has a lot of research on these things. He fiddled with them and said slowly: "The things are waterproof and not broken. But this thing seems to have a communication distance limit, beyond a certain distance, it cannot be connected." So only the sound of 'Ziz' came from the communicator.

"The people on the boat will never return, and the people on the shore will soon notice that something is wrong." A Wen did not follow them on the boat because of Lin Yuanqi's order, but kept in touch with them on the shore at any time.

In addition, Zhao Xiu also ordered Yao Sangeng to pay attention to the movement on the ship. The reason why he made such an arrangement was because he was a little uneasy about the itinerary. In addition, Lin Yuanqi asked Chen Zhao to bring him a gun that day. Obviously, Lin Yuanqi was I noticed something, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Xiu flicked his watch and found that it had entered the water. It is estimated that the tracker inside was finished. He was afraid of encountering some problems, but he didn't think he would be forced to jump into the sea. Next time, he must get one. waterproof.

"I can only wait for them to find it." They have no water, and it may be difficult to find food. It is impossible to cut wood and weave ropes to make rafts like many books. This is not a jungle adventure.

Lin Yuanqi was very calm at the moment, he leaned against the big tree, observed the surrounding environment, "I'll find something to eat tomorrow." Since we can't go into the jungle at night, Lin Yuanqi took out a lighter from his pocket and tried to light it , actually caught.

Zhao Xiu looked at him in surprise, this guy doesn't smoke, how could he specially choose a waterproof lighter to carry with him.

"Go get something to burn."

It got dark very quickly, and the two separated to pick up some dead branches and leaves on the outskirts of the jungle, and returned to the place where they landed. There happened to be a rotten tree lying on the ground not far away, so it was convenient for them to make a mark .

In the tropical rainforest area, these bushes are too wet. After a lot of effort, the two of them finally lit a fire, leaned against the rotten wood, and finally had a good rest for a while.

The stomach was unbearably hungry, and the stomach seemed to be convulsed, and it twitched intermittently. The condition of both of them was not very good, but neither showed any signs of discouragement.
