Chapter 41 second quarter

Immediately start searching, if Ningxue has encountered misfortune, and the body has not been swallowed by any large marine predators, then she must have floated up—of course, the premise is that Ningxue was not caught by the sinking ship. Think about the good side of everything, this is also the valuable experience I have gained in many near-death experiences. Although the world will not develop according to your will, but in this case, if you only think about the bad side, deep down in your heart Your despair will overwhelm you before the real danger comes. Danny and I followed the circle within a radius of no more than two hundred meters from the wreck site, hoping to find a gratifying result.

After a while, the cold sea water eroded the last heat in my body. I was clearly shaking my hands and feet in my mind, but my body still sank slowly several times, and only when my breathing was blocked by the sea water did I suddenly sink. Waking up with a start, he moved his limbs more vigorously. Danny's condition is not much better than mine. After swimming for about half an hour, he started to use the oxygen bag on his back one after another, allowing his body to sink slowly, and it took a long time for him to turn over the water again Float up and continue this seemingly pointless search.

In fact, I also know that even if Ningxue's body can be found, there is nothing we can do, the hope of saving her life becomes smaller and smaller as time goes by, not to mention rescue, even the hope of finding her becomes slimmer. Another hour passed in my long ordeal, and I could not tell whether we had searched round and round the wreck, still circling aimlessly, and no one offered to end this futile search, and we all knew in our hearts that The non-stop swinging of limbs is no longer purely for Ningxue, but has become something that must be done to maintain life.The icy waters could swallow us mercilessly within minutes of our inactivity, leaving no trace.

Hunger, cold, sleepiness...every factor that may kill us, after we floated for an hour, all swept away, and the body's increasingly severe stiffness and numbness also infected the brain, as long as we didn't remind ourselves a little , the eyelids will slowly close. We cheered up and talked to each other, and then it gradually evolved into a strange way of dialogue, one person kept telling his own heroic deeds to show off, while the other deliberately criticized the other party's words. Loopholes, followed by ruthless satire, the narrator then lied full of loopholes, and the satirist once again stimulated the other party with harsh words.If this kind of thing happened in normal life, Danny and I would definitely turn against each other and throw our fists at each other, but in this case, this kind of hostile attack has become our morale booster.

When the eastern sky showed a sliver of dawn, this method gradually lost its effect. So we changed another way of talking. Danny was lying on his back on the water, struggling weakly, while intermittently telling me about the girls he had sex with, even the most private plots. Speaking out, although his voice is deep and hoarse and intermittent, the plots he narrates are vivid and evocative, and even the smallest details are described in detail (I did regard these plots as "historical truth" at the time, but later by chance Well, after I saw a similar scene in an American movie, I became suspicious of his words. As for whether he plagiarized the copyright of others or whether he was deliberately imitating the movie at that time, only he himself knows up).This obviously created a certain excitement in my spirits, and I made fun of him while recreating the scene he described in my mind.

Please don't laugh at our vulgarity and boredom. In fact, human beings are just a very fragile part of the hundreds of millions of creatures on the earth. Although we have developed a high degree of civilization and learned etiquette and shame, it is just a mask for human beings to deceive themselves. Forget it, in the final analysis, human beings are still animals, and the instinctive desires of animals will always occupy a dominant position deep in our hearts. During our non-stop conversation, the sky finally brightened up, and the rising sun gave us the faint warmth. I opened my hazy and swollen eyes and looked at the place where the sea and the sky meet. , the sky is gorgeous, this indescribable beauty is enough to make people enchanted.

I was also shocked, but what shocked me was not the beautiful scenery in front of me, but the sparkling sea under the sky, which was so vast that it could swallow everything as far as the eye could see. As far as I could see, there was not even a speck of island to be seen.It won't be long, I think, the warm sun may get us through the next long day, but when the sun sets and the sky is full of stars, Danny and I may never see tomorrow again The sun is up! Danny's voice became lower and lower, and gradually disappeared. At first, I was only looking for the shadow of the island, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't notice this abnormality until I looked away, so I tried my best to yell twice. .

At a distance of five or six meters from my body, I flipped a splash of water lightly, Danny moved again, and said in a tired voice intermittently: "It's so good... strange, this feeling is so good, I think... I feel it The warmth of God, bathed in his holy light . . . so comfortable." Although Danny said that he was very comfortable, it was not a good sign. It was like the feeling of a dying person wandering in an illusion. In fact, he had reached the most critical moment. He must be woken up quickly, otherwise he would die. Such a "comfortable" sleep. Swimming over will obviously consume a lot of my physical strength, and now the most precious thing is physical strength, but how can I give him a strong stimulation?

After thinking for a while, I suddenly said seriously: "Danny, I know you are definitely not a private detective. Now it seems that we can't escape. Can you tell me who you are?" My words were like a stone sinking into the sea, but Danny didn't respond at all. Maybe, my voice was not as loud as I thought, so I raised my voice to the maximum decibel: "Dan..." "Hush——" Danny suddenly let out a low hiss, which stopped me from speaking, and after a few seconds of silence, he said softly, "Ye, what do you think is that?" I turned around with difficulty, glanced at Danny, and followed the direction of his fingers.

When I saw what his finger was pointing at, my chaotic brain suddenly shuddered and I woke up completely! Like the tip of a periscope, it drew a straight line across the sea and swam towards this side quickly.However, it was obviously not a submarine, because the thing was very flexible. It stopped at a place more than two hundred meters away from us, turned a 90-degree turn, and swam in another direction.Moreover, the part exposed to the water is definitely not a straight shape, but a smooth arc. That's the dorsal fin. Anyone can tell at a glance that it's the dorsal fin of some kind of large sea creature. To be more precise, it's 100% a hunting shark!

The joke I just said did not expect to be fulfilled just after dawn, and we really became the prey of this ferocious sea creature. I glanced at Danny, who let out a wry smile with his mouth open. But what surprised me was that the shark didn't turn around and swim towards us again, but swam obliquely to our left.
