Dream Guide

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind on the sea was getting stronger and stronger.

Chichika came out of the cabin and pulled the rope on the mast, trying to lower the sail that was swollen by the wind.

It is not an easy task to control a ketch in such strong winds and waves without a sufficient number of experienced sailors. He had to lower the sail, at least one side.

This boat was picked up by Qiqika at sea.

He originally ran a business as a private tour guide on Tubuai Island. His business was pretty good thanks to his simple conversation skills in several languages. Tourists often tipped him to drive around the island's ring road or take them there. Charter a boat.

However, after that magical brief amnesia, everything changed.

He received two groups of strange guests that day, both a man and a woman. As for what they looked like and what happened next, he had no memory at all.

He only remembered that he took them to Tabu Tabu, but he was unconscious in the woods beside Tabu.

I don’t know what happened later, but the situation in the entire Tubuai Islands, Bass Islands, and even the Cook Islands suddenly became tense. Warships from many countries began to cruise here, and there was the roar of fighter planes flying over from time to time in the sky. It was said that it was The aircraft carriers of two major powers are facing each other in the Pacific basin to the south.

As fewer and fewer tourists came to Tubuai, his business plummeted.

He was going to do something else to make a living, but besides traveling and fishing, what else could he do on an island like this?

Tourism is in decline and fishing is hard.

When he was a child, he often went to sea with his father. In addition to the unbearable harsh conditions on the ship, he also had to face the threat of death at any time. When the storm comes, whether he can survive on the vast sea can only depend on the face of God Avaiki.

Qiqika’s second uncle is considered to be the best at this business on the island. His car was eliminated by the second uncle, but the second uncle eventually died in the storm. He had accumulated the money he had accumulated through decades of hard work on fishing. Fortune cheapened that Hawaiian mistress.

Chichika lived in such a confused and hesitant way on the barren island. Not long after, she married a local girl with the help of her elders, and gave birth to their child a year later.

His savings were quickly spent, and he even sold the car that his second uncle gave him. But he still waited outside Mataura Airport, trying to wait for one or two generous tourists and earn some milk powder for his children from them. money.

What made Chichika finally decide to go to sea was the discovery of two corpses in the forest. The place where the body was buried was where he once fell into a coma.

Although a long time had passed and the bodies had decomposed into disgrace, the police still found out the identities of the two people, a man and a woman. Chichika concluded that these two people were one of the two pairs of tourists he received that day.

The police did not suspect Chichika, but instead targeted Petru, who once lived in the harbor behind Tabu.

Chichika also felt that Petru had done this, because this strange man with a red beard had spread all kinds of strange stories since he came to Tubuai Island. Some say he is a big pirate, some say he is a wanted criminal, and some say he is a terrorist. He had a brig, very similar to those pirate ships of the Middle Ages. The harbor where he docked was so densely covered with reefs that even the natives of the island did not dare to stay there too long.

The most important thing is that since the day Chichika fell into coma, this weirdo left Tubuai Island and never came back.

Police have offered a reward for information from islanders. The money was tempting, but Qiqika didn't dare to take it. He always felt that this matter was evil and it would not do him any good to speak out, so it was better to pretend not to know. What if Red Beard comes back for revenge in the future? Although he actually couldn't provide any more valuable clues.

He finally decided to go to sea.

I borrowed some money and rented a small fishing boat. Tubuai people usually use small boats like this to fish in the nearby waters. Although the harvest is not as good as those of large fishing boats, it is still enough to meet their needs.

Qiqika didn't want to make such a small fuss in the offshore. He wanted to go further. On the one hand, he wanted to return home with a full load and give the women and children at home a full surprise; on the other hand, he also I'm escaping, although I don't know what I'm escaping from, as if walking farther away will make me safer.

Then he saw the brig, drifting like a ghost on the dead sea.

He felt that fate had strangled his neck, and with fear, he boarded the ketch by accident.

There was not a soul on board, and there was dust everywhere.

After two days of anxiously living on the ship as if waiting for trial, but still not waiting for the red beard to appear, Chichika finally determined that this was not a joke played on him by fate, but a gift given to him by Avaiki.

The red bearded man must be dead.

The interior of this ship is not as old as it looks from the outside, but on the contrary, it is surprisingly luxurious. The cabin was filled with weapons and supplies, and even a whole box of U.S. dollars.

Chichika once thought about putting the dollar bills on his boat and going home. With this money, he could let the woman and the child live the happiest life in the rest of their lives. But greed defeated everything, and he finally decided to sail the big ship back and find a place to hide it. Even if there is no way to dispose of the ammunition inside, you can still dispose of other materials on the ship, which is still a lot of money.

Just as he was steering the helm and walking on the waterway home, whistling and looking forward to a better life in the future, a strong wind suddenly blew on the originally calm sea.

Large clouds gathered in the sky, blocking the sun. The sea water was turbulent and undulating, making this originally not a big boat become unstable.

Chichika knew that a storm was coming, but there was no warning at all, which frightened him even though he was born on an island.

To maneuver such a ketch in a storm, at least ten sailors are needed to control the sails and keep the hull stable. Now that he was alone, he had to lower the sails and rely only on the rudder to control the balance.

He had just untied the sail ropes of the first mast when he saw a huge wave coming.

Chichika had never seen such a big wave, bigger than the biggest mountain he had ever seen.

The huge waves lifted the bow of the ship to an almost vertical angle, slowly rising up to the sky. Qiqika hugged the mast tightly to prevent herself from falling.

When the hull of the ship was pushed to its highest point, Qiqika felt that she could reach out and touch the clouds in the sky. Those clouds spread far and wide, forming a huge wind group on the vast sea.

Chichika knew she might be doomed. Having lived on a Pacific island all year round, he could certainly recognize that this was no ordinary storm, but a severe tropical cyclone, also commonly known as a hurricane.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and the sailboat hung in the air like a kite for a long time.

The rain fell in torrents.

Standing on the top of the huge waves, Chichika vaguely saw a huge whirlpool appearing on the sea in front of her, and his ship was on one side of the whirlpool.

There was a black shadow in the center of the whirlpool. It was impossible to tell what it was in the storm, but it was certain that it was not a reef, because the shape of the reef could not be so sharp and angular.

A huge wave came down and the ship was almost flipped over. Chichika felt that his blood was flowing to his brain, but he also saw the shape of the black figure clearly——

That's a pyramid.

Yes, that’s right, it’s the pyramid. If he hadn't been standing on his head at the moment, he would not have been able to tell. In other words, this pyramid was originally upside down.

Then, the pyramid suddenly emitted a dazzling light and exploded like a nuclear bomb.

Chichika felt that her body disappeared in the nuclear explosion, leaving only a ball of consciousness. Consciousness spreads far, far away with the power of nuclear explosions.

He saw his wife holding the child, standing on the brown rock on the seashore and looking into the distance, waiting for her husband to return home with a full load.

For the first time, he felt that his wife's eyes were so beautiful...
