Chapter 994 An enemy more terrifying than hunger(2/2)
“It’s true”
Sterling lowered his voice slightly and said, "But last night, our engine could no longer start, and all the fuel in the tank had leaked. Victor, we need sailors to row the oars. Otherwise, even if we push them
If we go down, our supplies may not be enough to get back to the shore."
Wei Ran helped the other party put a waterproof condom on his head, and asked with a smile, "Are you worried that I will do something to them?"
"I believe you are a sensible person," Sterling said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't kill them."
As Wei Ran spoke, he took out the bottle of unique product from his bag, shook out one pill, pinched Akira's cheek, pulled out the silk rag that had already been wet with saliva, and popped the small pill in.
.
He used a unique medicine to soothe the humanoid animal who was about to start work. Then he removed the condom on the other person's foot and helped him change the medicine.
After he finished his work, Akira finally returned to normal.
"Put the wound on yourself"
Wei Ran pointed to the condom he had just taken off at his feet and asked Akira, "You can do whatever I ask you to do. You can get one pill every day. Do you have any objections?"
"No! No objection, but...but...can you give me two tablets a day?" Akira asked with a look of gratitude and shame, "I..."
"Then two pieces," Wei Ran said nonchalantly when Sterling nodded, "I hope you can play your due role."
Before he finished speaking, Hawkes swam back with a tin can only as big as a palm and handed it to Evans.
Opening the can, Evans took out a few citrus-flavored candies wrapped in cellophane and gave two to each person. At the same time, he said with a smile, "If we can't catch fish today, this is what we will have for the whole day."
Food.”
"If the rain doesn't stop, it may be difficult for us to catch fish." Hawks said with a grimace, and at the same time he tore open the two candies he had received and threw them into his mouth.
"Fishing and cleaning up the water is my and Sterling's job"
Evans smiled and said to Weiyan and Hawkes, "The paddling work will be left to you and the two pilots."
Hearing this, the young pilot captive nodded silently, stuffed the candy into his mouth, and immediately picked up the oar. Seeing this, Akira immediately stuffed the candy into his mouth and picked up the boat.
paddle.
Seeing this, Wei Ran put the two candies he was given into a waterproof survival bag, took the pistol from Hawks, and swam back to the life raft.
First he stuffed a candy into his mouth, then put another candy into the kettle, and Wei Ran also picked up the oar.
Under the command of the sailor's whistle blown by Vice Captain Sterling, the people responsible for the oars also began to work in the rain.
Unfortunately, there was no food in the stomach after all, so the energy provided by the two candies did not last long, and everyone lost strength. Naturally, the rowing speed became slower and slower.
It was finally noon when the raging rain finally stopped. The triangular sail in the center of the ship that had been re-opened was so loose that there was no sign of stress. And in the steaming awning, including two prisoners
But everyone inside was too hungry to move.
But even so, each of them still holds a fishing line board in their hands, and the fishing line sinking into the water is shaking.
On the inflatable life raft, Wei Ran took out the British army's water bottle, took out a lump of solidified grease from the inside with his fingers and smeared it into his mouth.
Wei Ran tightened the lid again and took back the metal book. He smashed his mouth and swallowed the energy-replenishing oil bit by bit. Then he took out the camera again, and under the cover of the awning, he took another picture for the people on the traffic boat.
A photo.
Putting away the camera, Wei Ran put on the toad glasses again and posed as if staring at the ship on the opposite side. In fact, he leaned against the thermos bucket and closed his eyes in relief.
When he woke up again to the sound of the whistle, only half of the setting sun was still floating on the sea. In the middle of the traffic boat, on the top of the jib mast made of oars, stood a sail that was being stretched.
Wings of frigate bird.
On the traffic boat, Hawks was gesturing at himself to shoot, while the two captains, Sterling and Evans, were pointing at the frigate bird.
After coming back to his senses, Wei Ran immediately pulled out the 1911 pistol from his chest. After slowly loading the gun, he walked around to the other side of the thermos barrel, held the gun with both hands on the lid of the barrel, and aimed at the frigate bird.
"boom!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of gunfire, the hot bullet shells hit the damp hammock, and the frigate bird also dived down, fluttering its wings and fell into the water between the two boats.
Almost at the same time, Hawks also jumped into the water and picked up the frigate bird after cheering.
"Victor! Your marksmanship is good!" Hawkes grabbed the frigatebird's huge wings and shouted loudly, "The bullet hit its wing!"
"Thank you for the compliment, but we can't make a fire at all!" Wei Ran reminded, looking at the joke, "We can't burn the oars, right? Or eat them raw?"
"At least we finally have bait. At least sea fish can be eaten raw."
After Captain Evans finished speaking, he turned to Hawkes and said, "Tonight we may try to use a flashlight to attract the fish."
"Indian Rules"
Hawkes said, pulling out three black tail feathers from the frigate bird and handing them to Evans.
"I'm not really a chief"
Although Evans said this, he still took the three black feathers, "This is a good gift."
"If we can catch a frigate bird every day, maybe I can make you an Indian crest."
Before Hawkes finished speaking, he had already broken the neck of the frigate bird. Then he pulled out his sailor's knife and cut the bird's neck, and quickly took out the bird's internal organs.
Without any need to say hello, everyone on the boat picked up some offal and undigested small fish, hung them on the hooks, and threw them into the water one after another.
Perhaps the bait this time was fresh enough. Soon, the fishing line held by Akira was the first to start shaking.
Amidst his subconscious cheers in jabbering Japanese, an unknown sea fish that was only ten centimeters long was pulled up first.
Before he could take the fish off the hook, the hooks in the hands of Evans and Hawks also reacted one after another.
Immediately afterwards, the fishing lines in the hands of Sterling and the silent young pilot also felt pulling!
"Quick! We have encountered a school of fish!"
Hawks shouted in surprise, hurriedly picked off the catch on the fishhook and threw it into the sailor's bag. He immediately threw the fishhook back into the sea again. He even mixed the remaining frigatebird offal in the helmet with some seawater.
Fell down.
Lured by the fishy smell, everyone soon made another harvest, but they completely failed to notice that Wei Ran, who was on the life raft behind them, had already taken out his camera and pressed the shutter button towards them.
When everyone dropped the fishhook for the fourth or fifth time, there was no feedback from the fishing line board in their hands.
Fortunately, at this time, the sailor bag in the cabin already contained nearly 30 not-so-large sea fish.
"The fish are gone," the young pilot who didn't like to talk took the initiative to say.
"Do you know what kind of fish we caught?" Hawks asked.
"Herring." The two captive pilots gave the same answer in unison, "A fish for the poor."
"We are poor now"
Hawks said, pulled out his sailor's knife again, reached out of the boat and rinsed it randomly in the sea water, grabbed a fish, cut off the head on a dinner plate, and then deftly peeled off the skin of the fish.
Cleaned the internal organs.
After dipping into the sea water to rinse it again, Hawks handed it to Captain Evans.
"Thank you." When Captain Evans took the small fish, Hawks had already started to handle the second fish.
"Victor, come over for dinner!" Sterling greeted Wei Ran loudly.
"Right away!" Wei Ran said, already flipping into the water.
By the time he climbed onto the transport boat with Sterling's help, Hawks had already given a processed herring to each of the two prisoners.
Taking the latest small fish that the other party had prepared, Wei Ran imitated Hawkes and rinsed it in the sea water outside the boat to add some saltiness, then put it into his mouth and took a bite.
The taste of raw fish is naturally not as good as that of cooked fish, but at least it is countless times more delicious than the canned herring that is still little known today, not to mention that the fish is fresh enough.
He hadn't even finished the fish. The captive Akira took the initiative and said, "Can... let me handle the fish? My hometown has a very long tradition of eating raw fish. I know how to make these fish
It tastes better."
Seeing Hawks subconsciously looking at him, Captain Evans glanced at Wei Ran who had already drawn his pistol, and finally nodded with a smile.
Taking the sailor's knife handed by Hawkes, Akira carefully washed his hands in the sea water, then took out a fish, cleaned the internal organs, skin and head, and cut the tender fish meat into small pieces.
Finally, carrying a little bit of sea water, he took the initiative to return the sailor's knife to Hawks, and then handed over a dinner plate filled with sashimi.
As the plates were passed around everyone's hands, except for Wei Ran who clearly expressed his refusal, the others did not refuse. However, looking at everyone's lack of interest, one could tell that in the absence of seasonings, just
Sashimi just dipped in some sea water doesn't taste much better than the fish provided by Hawks.
In contrast, the two devils, while enjoying the sashimi made by themselves, were talking to each other in Japanese that no one could understand.
In the joy of the harvest, everyone ate two herrings each, filling their stomachs for the first time since the disaster.
The remaining dozen fish were not wasted. They were hung directly on the side of the boat together with the sailor bags that trapped them. Even the frigate bird was cut into pieces by Hawks and tied with paracord.
Weared it and hung it on the simple mast of the jib, hoping to have a chance to dry it into dried meat. Even the herring offal and the remaining frigatebird offal were hung on the fishhook again by the well-fed people.
And turned on the flashlight, hoping to use the phototaxis of fish to replenish some food reserves.
Wei Ran, on the other hand, gave Akira a piece of his own medicine after eating, and then changed the medicine for everyone's wounds before returning to the life raft he was responsible for.
However, less than two hours later, as stars appeared overhead and were replaced by clouds, Wei Ran felt his stomach begin to feel uneasy!
