Chapter 259 Looking for Laura
"Ross!"
Hearing the voice of the captain of the Endurance coming from the other end of the intercom, everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Especially the female mechanic who had a close relationship with Ross, her expression suddenly relaxed, and then she asked:
"Oh God! Conrad, where are you?"
"I don't know either. In order to escape the storm, I have been walking inland. I am probably in an abandoned village in the mountains now."
After a pause, Ross on the other side asked with concern:
"Reyes, are you okay? Did you see anyone else?"
"I'm okay. I'm with Jonah, Alex and the others, and we're still near the coast."
"Listen, before I abandoned the Endurance, I already sent out a distress signal. I hope someone can receive it. However, we can't just rely on others to rescue us. We also have to survive first."
"My place is relatively close to the inland, and it is a place to set up camp. You can join me here, and after temporarily repairing the team, we will find a way to leave here..."
"Okay, let me tell them..."
As a former Royal Marine and a veteran adventurer with many years of adventure, Ross's mature opinions are almost the only choice at this moment of panic.
Going inland and rendezvousing with Ross became the current goal of this survivor team.
However, before they could set out, a cruel incident severely affected everyone's newly cheered mood.
Due to excessive blood loss and high fever, the seriously injured crew members were in a state of severe shock.
There is nothing anyone can do about this.
Without a doctor, and without the tools and conditions for blood transfusion, all they could do was watch the seriously injured crew member close his eyes forever.
This sudden change cast a layer of sadness over everyone's hearts...
The dead have passed away, but the living must continue to move forward for their own survival.
At Jonah's suggestion, everyone dug a simple grave nearby, buried the bodies of the crew members, and used a piece of wood broken off from the fishing boat to write the crew members' names and death time and insert it on the grave as a memorial.
commemorate.
After bidding farewell to one of their companions, the team of survivors, each with their own thoughts, immediately left the beach and headed towards the lush forest...
Because the shipwreck happened so suddenly, everyone had basically no additional supplies except the backpacks they carried.
However, the basic survival supplies are still sufficient.
In terms of food, Jonah's backpack is full of chocolates, protein bars, cans, etc. As long as he saves on food, he can still last for a while.
Fresh water is easier to solve.
As long as you find a clean stream as soon as possible and then sterilize it at high temperature, you can have a stable source of fresh water.
On the other hand, there is a huge shortage of weapons.
Among the five people, only Reyes had a Beretta 92 pistol and Jonah had a military machete. The others were unarmed.
This kind of equipment configuration will definitely not be enough if you really want to encounter those malicious island residents.
Therefore, Lu Qi couldn't help but take out the crossbow from his backpack and offered to rear.
Alex was a little surprised when he saw the crossbow in Lu Qi's hand. When he asked him why he would bring such a thing, he was put off by the excuse that "when you go on an adventure, you have to get some weapons to protect yourself."
The forest was very large, and the night was dark. Coupled with the heavy rain, it was almost difficult to tell the direction. Everyone could only use the compass to move in one direction.
swish swish...
The sound of raindrops hitting the leaves and grass added an eerie feeling to the entire forest.
Whitman, who was relatively timid, always felt that there was something there, hiding in the darkness, spying on him, and couldn't help but get closer to Jonah next to him.
In his opinion, Jonah's stout figure and the machete in his hand made him the most secure among the people.
Falling behind the team, Lu Qi turned on his eagle eyes from time to time to explore the surrounding situation.
Fortunately, we haven't encountered any islanders armed with weapons yet.
Lu Qi guessed that maybe the island residents were still searching for them on the coastal beaches, but he didn't expect that they had entered the forest...
Looking down at the waterproof watch on his hand, Lu Qi realized that the time had already reached two o'clock in the morning.
It was 11 o'clock in the evening when the Endurance had an accident, which meant that three hours had passed.
Just when Lu Qi was worried about Laura and Samantha who were alone, Reyes, who was leading the way, paused suddenly.
Then, accompanied by the noise of electricity, Ross's voice came from the other side of the walkie-talkie again:
"Reyes! Are you still there?"
"Yes, I am."
"Where are you?"
"I just entered the forest and am heading in your direction. What's wrong?"
"That's right, I just got in touch with Laura. She is alone now, somewhere in the forest."
Hearing that Laura was okay, Lu Qi felt relieved at first, and then frowned.
Although Laura is the protagonist of the world and will not be led easily. However, he cannot guarantee whether anything will happen to the other party.
After all, Laura at this time is just a fledgling female college student who loves adventure, and is not yet the Tomb Superwoman of the future.
And Samantha is missing...
Thinking of this, Lu Qi felt that he had to find them before the enemy discovered them!
While Lu Qi lowered his head to think, the conversation between Rose and Reyes continued:
"I can't walk away. If you can, pay attention to the movement along the way. I hope you can find her."
"Okay, we will."
"Be careful..."
"The same to you."
After ending the call, Lu Qi, who had already made plans, immediately said:
"Guys, I'd like to make a suggestion."
In an instant, everyone couldn't help but focus on him.
"I think we should split up."
Upon hearing this, Reyes, who was temporarily acting as the leader of the team, was startled for a moment, and then immediately understood:
"You mean, we divide into two teams, one team goes to meet Ross, and the other team goes to find Laura and the others?"
Nodding, Lu Qi immediately said:
"Yes. This island is too big. Although we are relatively safe and take care of each other when we gather together, for other survivors who are alone, they are alone in the wild and have no clue..."
"Lu Qi is right, we can't just take care of ourselves. Others may have run into trouble and need our help..."
Before Alex could finish speaking, Whitman, who was already impatient, interrupted:
"What time has it been? It's not easy to take care of yourself anymore. We can't be distracted and care about other people's positions! We should quickly meet up with Ross and then find a way to leave this damn island!"
Hearing this, Lu Qi's eyes turned cold and he said casually:
"Don't worry, doctor, I didn't count you. Or rather, I didn't count all of you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Jonah, who was holding a machete in his hand, couldn't help but asked angrily:
Chapter completed!
