Section 13

This time, unlike the day before, there was no self-heating hot pot to eat. All we could do was rub our hands and feet and hug each other to keep warm.

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, melting Wen Zheng's chocolate into water. The sweet taste could soothe people's emotions.

They got through the night safely.

However, An An, who had the weakest resistance, still caught a cold. After taking 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. After soaking in the water, the yellow compressed cake king turned into a yellow paste.

Wen Zheng was watching their actions from the side. The 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 will do.

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.

Old Qian came again just now, holding a notebook and a pen, and said in a very open-minded way: "I'm thinking about writing something. If I can't go back, I'll treat it as a last will. Throw it into a bottle and someone might find it.

If we can go back safely, this thing will be a rare souvenir.

" So this book became everyone's diary.

They also learned about the other life rafts from Old Qian.

From Du Peiran's diary, we can see the current situation. It takes more energy to resist the cold, and most of the food on the life rafts is consumed a little quickly.

It's not that no one thought of rainwater and distilled water, but in the rush of escaping from the cruise ship, there were not many containers to hold water when it rained, and now there is nothing to make a distillation device.

Most people are a little anxious.

The strange temperature added fuel to everyone's anxiety. It was so cold some time ago that the life rafts didn't work.

On this day, the temperature began to rise rapidly.

Not long after the sun came out, everyone noticed something was wrong. Without people basking in the sun, the door curtains of the life rafts were closed again, this time to block the sunlight that was extremely popular yesterday.

They took off their long sleeves and long pants for warmth and changed back to short sleeves and shorts.

At noon, when the temperature was the highest, everyone's forehead began to sweat, making people want to jump into the sea for a good bath.

However, the strong sunlight also represents ultraviolet rays. If you really jump into the sea, your skin will be sunburned soon.

It really pushes people to the edge.

Chapter 11 The heat makes people more easily impatient. Du Peiran lay on the life raft, his face a little red from the sun.

He looked at the sea, and for a moment he felt that it would be better to be bitten to death by the red fish.

This feeling of waiting to die is really not pleasant.

Everyone stayed away from others and tried not to move if there was nothing to do. Even An An was obedient and did not cry, even so his body was still sweating.

After the hottest noon passed, they got up and moved their bodies. Wen Zheng was in the best spirits. The hot sunlight made the sea water evaporate faster, and the fresh water harvested today was more than he expected.

Feeling as if someone was looking at him, Wen Zheng frowned and looked outside. There were many life rafts around him, all at a distance. It must be his illusion.

The sky gradually darkened, and there was a slight sea breeze on the sea. The figures moving around gradually increased.
