Surviving Endless Disasters
Section 13
This time, unlike the day before, there was no self-heating hot pot to eat, so we could only keep warm by rubbing our hands and feet and hugging each other.
I had to stay awake at night, and my routine was completely reversed.
The food provided everyone with enough calories, and they also learned to enjoy the hardships. They melted Wen Zheng's chocolate into water. The sweet taste can soothe people's emotions.
They got through the night safely.
However, An An, who had the weakest resistance, still caught a cold. After drinking antipyretic medicine, An An groaned in discomfort in her sleep.
Qin Yanjie's mood became extremely low when he saw An An's uncomfortable look. This was the third day of drifting at sea. When would the rescuer arrive?
Not only Qin Yanjie, but the entire life raft except Wen Zheng became a little impatient.
Wen Zheng knew that he could go home if he persisted for seven days because the mission gave him seven days. But others did not know that if rescue did not come for one day, it meant that they had to wait forever.
This situation is not good. In this desperate situation, we must maintain an aggressive mentality and a firm will. Wen Zheng tried hard to think of something to say that could arouse other people's desire to survive.
He looked up just in time to see the sun in the sky.
The sun peeks out from the clouds, and its appearance represents warmth.
The figure of the sun was quickly spotted by everyone, and the curtains of all the surrounding life rafts were opened by the excited survivors, allowing the sun to shine on them, driving away the coldness of the two nights.
Qin Yanjie carried An An to the door curtain, and An An laughed happily.
Wen Zheng and the others' steps became much brisker, almost bouncing forward on the bottom of the inflatable raft.
Each person held a container of fresh water in his hand and carefully placed it in the sun.
Wen Zheng thought about it and found a small mirror from his backpack. He found the right angle and fixed it so that more sunlight could shine on the water. After freezing for two nights, they not only wanted to bask in the sun, but also wanted to drink hot water. It's such a simple request.
When they were hungry, Du Peiran and Xiang Hong even put the compressed cake king into the water that had been heated by the sun. The yellow compressed cake king turned into a yellow paste after soaking in the water.
Wen Zheng was watching their actions from the side. This paste looked completely unappetizing. He definitely didn't want to eat like this.
At this time, Xie Zhuohua came over with the King of Compressed Cake in his mouth, then turned around and walked back. When he reappeared, he was also holding a box of yellow paste.
This weather has driven people to such a state! Wen Zheng shook his head, then sat next to them holding a box with the same content.
After eating, Wen Zheng took out the metal box filled with water that had become empty over the past few days while the sunlight was still strong.
The person who used it as a food box had already washed Wang Jing with sea water.
Wen Zheng took out the bone chopping knife from his backpack, and there was a huge inhalation sound behind him. Xie Zhuohua was so frightened that his voice became shrill: "Brother Wen, you actually have a knife in your backpack.
" "OMG! Brother, is your backpack a treasure bag? Why can I take out anything, and there is such a magical weapon?
This knife couldn't be the legendary bone chopping knife.
That's not right, Brother Wen, why don't you take out the knife at this time? It's not like there's anything to cut.
"Du Peiran doesn't talk too much when he's nervous or scared, but he's a complete talker.
Wen Zheng rolled his eyes at Du Peiran and hit the metal box with the back of the bone chopping knife, making a dent on the opposite sides of the metal box.
Wen Zheng tapped lightly with a bone cleaver to ensure that the groove was high on the inside and low on the outside.
Then Wen Zheng once again took out the wooden chopsticks he used in the cafeteria, inserted them into the center of the metal box, made two gestures with his hands, and then picked up the chopsticks and broke them into the appropriate length.
Everything was ready. Wen Zheng walked to the side with a metal box and filled out a box of sea water.
Xiang Hong said suddenly, "Brother Wen, are you going to make a seawater distiller?" "Brother Wen, you can even make a distiller?" Du Peiran immediately came over to watch Wen Zheng's operation.
In fact, the operation is very simple. Wen Zheng himself once tried to make a distiller, which was based on similar principles. He had prepared the materials in advance on the cruise ship.
Stand the chopsticks in a metal box filled with sea water, put a plastic film on the metal box, and the film will be held up by the chopsticks.
When the sun shines on the container and the temperature reaches a certain level, the seawater will evaporate. The water vapor will condense when it meets the plastic film and then flow along the film to the grooves on both sides of the metal box. At this time, as long as there is Something to collect the water on it.
This operation aroused everyone's interest. There happened to be several empty metal boxes, and they all started to use them with enthusiasm.
These simple stills occupy the best position in the sun, and under everyone's watchful eyes, they successfully collect valuable fresh water.
“This is our fourth day drifting at sea, and we still haven’t waited for rescue to arrive.
We have already eaten 70% of the food stored in the life raft. This is because the temperature in the previous two nights was too low, so we can only eat more to replenish the energy consumed in the body.
There is not much food now, but we didn't even see a fish, and there wasn't even a shadow of a seabird.
Food cannot be replenished, but fortunately fresh water can be distilled from sea water.
Thank God for allowing Xiao Hong and I to meet Brother Wen and Brother Qin. I hope God can bless that rescue can come today.
"Du Peiran was lying on the life raft, holding a pen and writing today's diary in a notebook.
Just now, Lao Qian came again, carrying a notebook and pen, and said very openly: "I am thinking about writing something. If I don't get back, I will treat it as my last words. If I throw it into a bottle, someone may find it."
If we can get back safely, this thing will be a rare souvenir.
” So this book became everyone’s diary.
They also learned about other life rafts from Lao Qian.
The current situation can be seen from Du Peiran's diary. To resist the cold requires more energy replenishment, and most of the life raft's food is consumed a bit quickly.
It’s not that no one thought about rainwater and distilled water, it was just the rush to escape from the cruise ship. When it rained, there were not many containers to hold water. Now there is also nothing to make a distillation device.
Most people were a little anxious.
The strange temperature added to everyone's anxiety. It was so cold some time ago that the life raft was useless.
On this day, the temperature began to rise rapidly.
Not long after the sun came out, everyone realized something was wrong. There were no more people sunbathing, and the life raft's curtain was closed again, this time to block the sunshine that was so welcome yesterday.
I took off the long-sleeved trousers I wore to keep warm and put on short-sleeved shorts.
At noon, when the temperature is the highest, everyone begins to sweat on their foreheads, making people want to jump into the sea and take a good bath.
However, strong sunlight also represents ultraviolet rays. If you really jump into the sea, your skin will get sunburned quickly.
It really drives people to the edge.
Chapter 11: The heat makes people more easily impatient. Du Peiran was lying on the life raft, his face a little red from the sun.
He looked at the sea and felt for a moment that he might as well have been bitten to death by a red fish.
This feeling of waiting to die is really uncomfortable.
Everyone stayed far away from others and tried not to move unless there was nothing going on. Even An An was obedient and did not cry. Even so, sweat continued to flow from his body.
They waited until the hottest part of the day was over before they got up and moved around. Wen Zheng was in the best spirit. The hot sunlight made the sea water evaporate faster. The harvest of fresh water today was more than he expected.
Realizing that someone seemed to be watching him, Wen Zheng frowned and looked out. There were many life rafts around him, all separated by a short distance. It must have been his imagination.
The sky was gradually getting darker, a slight sea breeze appeared on the sea surface, and there were gradually more and more moving figures.
