At the southernmost point of the island, Wei Ran and Hawkes waded forward little by little through the clear water that submerged their knees. From time to time, Wei Ran, who was walking at the front, would take out his binoculars and lift them up to take a look ahead.

.

"Victor, haven't you seen Evans yet?" Hawks asked with his hands on his knees.

"Saw it"

Wei Ran pointed to the distance, handed the telescope to the other party and said with a smile, "It's not far away, and I know why he called us to come over and help."

"Why?" Hawks asked subconsciously, but at the same time he took the telescope and looked in the direction of Wei Ran's finger.

Soon, he found the answer himself.

With the help of the telescope, he could clearly see that Captain Evans was sitting on a rock protruding from the sea in the distance, and beside him, there was a large red and white object!

"That life raft?!" Hawks said in surprise.

"right"

Wei Ran quickened his pace as he spoke, "There are a lot of useful things on that life raft. They must have been pushed here by the waves after the high tide last night."

"The great chief has gone so far"

Hawks turned and looked behind him. At this time, they were at least about three kilometers away from the island behind them, but the distance between them and Captain Evans was at least more than one kilometer away.

"I guess he must have expected it," Wei Ran said with admiration, "Maybe he was heading for the life raft or the lost thermos bucket."

"Why?" Hawks asked in confusion.

"This morning, before setting off, the chief used his telescope to look in the direction where we ran aground yesterday." Wei Ran paused and said, "So I guess he must have gone specifically to find the life raft."

"The more you say that, the more I regret not being able to serve on the Johnston." Hawks said quickly.

"The Hall is not bad," Wei Ran said seriously, "she is also a brave destroyer."

"Our captain must be very happy to hear you say that."

Hawkes showed a simple smile, and then sighed, "I don't know how many people on our ship survived."

"Although I can't answer your question, I can guarantee that you will survive." Wei Ran said confidently.

"I hope so"

Hawks bent down and picked up the sea water to wash his face, then changed the subject and said, "The water here is starting to become shallow again."

"The underwater rocks have risen. Let's speed up. The chief will have a heat stroke later."

"That's right!" Hawks nodded in agreement and followed Wei Ran to quicken his pace.

Although Captain Evans had already prepared for the discovery of the life raft, when the two Weirans actually came closer, their mouths were wide open and their eyes were wide.

At this time, Captain Evans, whose face was covered with an umbrella cloth and wearing the sunglasses given to him by Weifang, was actually sitting on a rock that protruded about one meter from the sea.

But under his feet, there was a turtle the size of a washbasin, struggling with its four corners upward!

What's even more exaggerated is that at this time, Captain Evans actually held an oyster with the shell opened and was putting it into his mouth!

"You are finally here"

Captain Evans threw away the oyster shell in his hand, swallowed the oyster meat in a few mouthfuls, pointed to his feet and said, "Which of you is here with a knife?"

"I brought it!"

Wei Ran and Hawkes said in unison, the only difference was that the former took out a paratrooper knife, while the latter took out a larger folding knife.

"Whoever it is, kill it quickly. This guy is so powerful that my feet are going numb."

Evans said and pointed to the rocks under his butt, "In addition, there are a lot of oysters growing here. Victor, how about you be responsible for prying them off? Then we can have a full meal."

"no problem"

Wei Ran came over to help hold down the turtle, looked at the rope connecting the life raft to the reef and asked, "Chief, don't we take this life raft back?"

"Leave it here until you deal with those two pilots."

As Captain Evans spoke, he had already removed the gas bottles and manual pumps on the life raft, "But we have to take these two back and hide them, so that even if this life raft is discovered by them, don't even think about it."

Fix it."

"Is it seriously damaged?" Wei Ran asked the key question.

“Not too big”

Evans gestured with his hand to indicate a size that was only ten centimeters at most. "I checked and found that there was only such a big damage, but I'm worried that Mr. Akira secretly hid the repair tools, patches, and glue for the life raft. After all,

I haven't seen those things since we commandeered this life raft."

Before he finished speaking, Hawks had already stabbed the turtle's neck with a knife. Immediately, the smelly blood spread in the sea water, but soon, the turtle was carried to the reef by Hawks.

Then, he poured the water from his own kettle into Evans's kettle, then immediately moved to the edge of the wound, released the fingers holding the wound, and collected the smelly blood.

"What are you going to use it for?" Seeing that he was no longer needed, Wei Ran simply asked while using his gravity knife to pull the oysters on the rocks.

"It can be used for fishing," Hawks said confidently.

"I'll leave this to you"

Evans took a sip of coconut-flavored fresh water, tightened the lid of the kettle and said, "I'll keep walking forward to see if I can find our thermos bucket and missing weapons."

"Do you think the weapons have also been rushed here?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.

“There is a high possibility”

Evans pointed to the direction where everyone was stranded yesterday and said, "Yesterday I specifically observed that the main outlet of this lagoon is over there, and you must remember that the sailor's bag containing weapons also contains your life jacket and holster.

Where’s Chris’s lifebuoy?”

"Remember, this is what you insisted on asking us to put in it." Hawks, who was busy collecting the turtle blood, immediately responded.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I specifically observed when Mr. Akira threatened us with a gun."

Evans twirled the mustache that he had trimmed carefully last night and said, "There are cuts on the hull of our traffic boat, which is where the simple mast is tied."

"So the mast was lost man-made"

Wei Ran reacted immediately, "The masts are made of wood pulp, so they will definitely float on the sea and be pushed here by the waves?"

“What a smart guy”

Evans patted Wei Ran on the shoulder, "I will definitely go back before it gets dark or before the sky changes. If we can find weapons, we should consider how to get out of here."

"That's all?" Hawkes pointed to the shriveled life raft that was mostly submerged in the water.

"There are still so many trees on the island, we can always find a way."

Evans also patted Hawks on the shoulder, "Bring the meat back as soon as possible, I'm leaving."

"Take this," Wei Ran said, taking off a kettle filled with boiled water from his waist and handing it to the other party.

"Thanks"

Captain Evans happily took the kettle and continued walking on the rocks and beaches that appeared from time to time, looking for the lost thermos bucket and vital weapons.

At the edge of the life raft, Wei Yan also removed all the oysters he could see, and put them together with the turtle meat cut off by Hawks into the gas mask bag that he had emptied before departure.

Finally, each of them tied the hand pump and the gas bottle to their backs with ropes. Wei Yan used the turtle shell as big as a basin to carry the inedible turtle viscera, and followed Hawks to the lonely island.

.

While the two of them had a great harvest, at the northernmost point of the island, Akira and his nephew Jiro also shared the seafood and all the soup in the helmet.

Throwing a piece of Souban into his mouth, Akira unscrewed the kettle and drank a few big mouthfuls of rainwater before asking, "Jiro, haven't you found our life raft yet?"

"No"

Jiro poured the last sip of water from his kettle into his stomach, licked away the last drop of water that was unwilling to drip with the tip of his tongue, and then said with unfinished content, "I suspect it has been brought into the sea by the waves.

.”

"Without that life raft, how can we reunite with our families?" Akira sighed rather irritably, and at the same time handed his water bottle to Jiro.

"Thanks"

Jiro quickly took the kettle, raised his neck and drank several large sips, and then said, "But the life raft has leaked air. Even if we find it..."

"yes"

Akira looked at the sparkling sea outside the woods, "Even if we find it, what's the use? Well, now is not the time to complain, Jiro, go prepare dinner! By the way, bring back some firewood, our campfire will be ready

It’s almost out.”

"I, I understand."

Jiro returned the kettle to the other party, picked up the pistol and machete placed between the two of them, then put a sunhat he knitted with palm leaves on his head, turned and walked into the woods, looking for anyone who could

Bring something to satisfy your hunger.

Throughout the afternoon of that day, Wei Ran and Hawks not only brought back enough turtle meat to fill everyone's stomachs, but the former even used the only set of lunch boxes to use the inedible fat and internal organs of the turtles, as well as a sprout

The coconut flesh taken out of the old coconut was boiled down to produce enough grease to fill the can bottle that Hawks picked up yesterday.

Naturally, this jar full of oil is not for eating, but to be used with the few remaining sunscreen creams to treat people's chapped lips and sunburned skin.

In addition, he also used hot water to get out all the little grease left in his British army kettle and poured it into the helmet that served as a cooking pot, which added a little flavor to their turtle broth.
