After rushing back to the camp and handing the shell casings to Hawkes, the three of them took the gas bottle they had been using as a kettle these days and the pump they had hidden. They also took two extra green coconuts and found the life raft along the atoll.

wreckage.

Under the command of Evans, he first pulled out the life raft that had sunk into the water. Wei Ran carefully enlarged the damaged hole that was not that big at first, and then wrapped the two green coconuts in soft

The umbrella cloth was stuffed in.

After some adjustments, the damaged opening was located in the center of the two coconuts. Weiyan and Stirling worked together to tie the two ends of the two coconuts tightly with ropes. Then they took out a piece of umbrella cloth prepared in advance and covered the damaged area.

Together with the two coconuts stuffed inside, it was wrapped around and around and tied tightly.

Everything was ready, and Evans, who was already prepared, immediately started squeezing the pump. As the three people took turns, the originally dry life raft gradually inflated and finally floated on the water.

"The shape and color remind me of the endless Vienna sausages on the USS Alden, which contained more starch than the people on the USS Alden."

Evans sat on the rocks and joked while moving his arms, which were slightly sore from the backlog of pumps.

"I kind of think it looks like a vasectomy donut."

Sterling was busy squeezing the pumps he held in both hands and said breathlessly, "Those two coconuts are like high pills that have become shriveled due to ligation, and I am trying to help those two high pills become useless.

Blow the donuts. Victor, it’s your turn to blow.”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As he spoke, Sterling handed the pump in his hand to Wei Ran.

"Thank you so much for your broken metaphor."

Wei Ran took the pump unhappily and squeezed the air in. At the same time, the two captains also relied on their own weight to press the tied damaged opening into the water and waited patiently.

Fortunately, until the two of them could no longer hold down the life raft with their weight, no bubbles emerged from the damaged area at all, which was undoubtedly good news for them.

After tightening the inflating port, the three of them looked at each other. Without any time to rest, they pushed the life raft into the deep water of the lagoon and flipped into the life raft in no particular order.

"This life raft is here to stay"

Evans leaned on the inflated buoyancy bag and said, "Sterling, starting tomorrow, Victor and I will use this life raft to go further to collect supplies, and you will prepare the planks and other materials for repairing the ship."

"We still lack nails," Sterling said, looking at the head of his head dyed red by the sunset, "We still need nails."

"There will be a way, now we should go back." Evans said, already turning over and jumping into the water.

The three of them dragged the inflated life raft to the beach and tied it to the rocks, and returned to the camp together with exhaustion and hope.

Far away, they noticed that on the beach outside the camp, a bonfire was burning with thick smoke. Outside the bonfire, there was a small cone-shaped tent surrounded by umbrella cloth.

When the sea breeze brought thick smoke to the shop floor, the three of them also smelled a slight smell of meat mixed with the thick smoke.

"You are back"

Hawkes waved his hand from a distance and said proudly, "I caught a dozen sea fish in my trap during the low tide, and I made them all into smoked fish."

"It seems that our hope of leaving here is getting bigger and bigger." Evans and Sterling looked at each other. There was a strong look of hope in the eyes of the two captains.

In the next three or four days, Captain Evans continued to explore this huge lagoon every day, either alone or with a life raft on the repaired life raft, and also shared the results and experiences of these days.

, all recorded in detail on the notepad.

Sterling was nestled in the camp. With the help of Hawkes, he used the pipe ax that was not very practical to chop down a silver leaf tree, and with difficulty he cut out a piece of wood that was enough to repair the ship.

of wooden boards.

During these days, Hawks still couldn't find any wood that could be used to make a hunting bow, but his trap, which used various offal and food scraps as bait, unexpectedly caught a lot of sea fish.

Along with this, more and more dried smoked fish were hung on the coconut trees next to the camp.

As for Wei Ran, he seized every opportunity and recorded the fruits of everyone's labor with his camera.

However, what puzzled him was that he had touched the northern end of the island twice in the past few days, but these two times, through the camera, he found that Jiro's physical condition seemed to be getting better and better, but Ah

Kira seemed to have a physical problem, he was wearing his one-piece flight suit from beginning to end, and needed Jiro's help to eat and drink.

Early that morning, the biting sea breeze blew up sparks from the still-burning bonfire and blew up the fine white sand, waking up everyone who was sleeping.

Glancing at the gloomy sky in the distance, Evans glanced at the time on his watch, sat up and said, "It looks like the weather is going to change, so don't sleep. Let's reinforce the shelter before the wind and rain come."

.”

"Wait a moment"

Hawkes, who also sat up, pointed to the sea on the west side of the island facing him and shouted, "What do you see that is?!"

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously turned around and looked at the lagoon sea surface that was ruffled by the sea breeze on the west side of the island. Sure enough, there seemed to be something floating on the sea surface!

"Telescope!" Evans and Sterling shouted in unison.

Hearing this, Wei Ran subconsciously handed the telescope he just picked up to Evans.

After taking the telescope, Evans only took one look and his breathing became rapid, "It's a life preserver! It seems to be Hawks' life preserver!"

"Let me take a look!" Before Sterling finished speaking, Evans had already handed over the telescope.

After just one glance, Sterling handed the binoculars back to Weiran and said with certainty, "It's Hawks's lifebuoy. I also saw Victor's lifejacket! There must be a weapons bag tied under it!"

"

"It is indeed ours!" As soon as Wei Ran finished speaking, the telescope in his hand was snatched away by Hawks. At this time, the two captains had already ran out of the camp and towards the sea!

"Let's go too!" Hawks dropped the telescope and ran out.

"Fortify the camp!" Sterling shouted back, speeding up to overtake Evans, chasing the lifebuoy floating on the beach and running to the north.

Wei Ran and Hawks looked at each other, "Would you like to take a look?"

"Of course I want to go!" Hawkes said as he climbed up the coconut tree, "But before that, help me get all the dried fish down quickly, I don't want them to be blown away."

Hearing this, Wei Ran, who had already walked out of the camp, could only turn around and come back. He patiently took the dried smoked fish that Hawks pulled down and threw them onto a spread umbrella cloth.

It took less than two minutes to collect all the dried fish, wrap them up and tie them firmly to the tree trunk. Wei Ran was the first to run out of the camp and chase after them.

Seeing this, Hawkes even forgot to take out the ax from his waist and rushed out.

At this time, Evans had already passed the center point of the island, and even surpassed the floating objects in the water. He himself also splashed into the sea and swam towards the lifebuoy, which continued to be pushed north by the wind and current.

Evans continued to run north, trying to stop the lifebuoy a little further ahead.

But the two of them did not notice that at this time, Jiro, who was also awakened by the strong wind in the camp at the northern end of the island less than a hundred meters away from them, and was peeing on the beach outside the camp, also noticed

Floating objects in the water!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ignoring the faucet on the lower body, Jiro rubbed his sleepy eyes, then reacted immediately, and hurriedly pulled out the 1911 pistol from his waist, trembling.

He put the bullet in his hand and ran over wearing only a dirty crotch cloth!

Almost the moment it ran onto the beach, Wei Ran noticed each other and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs to remind the two captains who were more than a hundred meters away from them. But in the howling wind, the two captains

How could a captain hear his voice?

Fortunately, Captain Evans, who was about to go into the water, also noticed Jiro, but the unarmed Indian captain just looked back at Weiran and Hawks, and then at Ste, who still hadn't caught up with the lifebuoy.

Lin, then actually bent down to pick up a stone and rushed towards Jiro!

Also not stopping was Hawkes. He didn't even shout, but subconsciously pulled out the pipe ax from his waist!

Gritting his teeth and knowing that he could not help at all, Wei Ran took a deep breath, took out his camera bag with determination, and in the yellow sand in the sky, used his body to block the flying sea sand, and replaced the camera as quickly as possible.

He picked up a super telephoto lens, and then he lay down, relying on the camera bag itself, and aimed the lens at Vice Captain Sterling swimming towards the lifebuoy in the morning glow, and at the person holding a stone, such as Johns.

Captain Evans, who launched a death charge like the USS Don, aimed at Hawks, who was running fast with an ax in his hand, and also at the man who was wearing only a crotch cloth and holding a 1911 pistol in his hand.

Jiro!

Thanks to the structural characteristics of the clockwork camera itself, I knew that I could not change the history of health at all, and my shooting speed reached unprecedented efficiency.

As the shutter opened and closed again and again, Jiro finally raised the 1911 pistol with both hands, pointed at Captain Evans who had already raised the stone and was about to throw it, and pulled the trigger!

"boom!"

While the sound of gunshots was blown into his ears by the strong wind, Wei Ran also briefly released the shutter. Captain Evans couldn't help but let go of the stone in his hand, and threw himself to the ground while hugging him.

Take one of Jiro's legs!

After anxiously looking at Hawks running towards him, and then at Sterling in the sea, Jiro finally pointed the gun at Vice Captain Sterling and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

"Bang!" There was another gunshot carried by the wind, and Wei Ran released the shutter again.

But at this time, his eyes did not leave the viewfinder, but looked at Hawks' back. He raised the ax in his hand and pressed the shutter again.

In the delicate sound of the shutter, the Indian pipe ax ignored the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, ignored Jiro's threatening shouts, and flew out of his hand in a circle. After flying a long distance, here

Before the last frame of the film ran out, it was accurately framed on Jiro's chest!

Wei Ran secretly sighed, put away his camera and camera bag as quickly as possible, got up again, braved the sea breeze and the blinding fine sand, and ran as fast as possible towards Ai, who was still hugging Jiro's thigh.
