Raft Survival 6
They were no better off. The closer they were to the center of the vortex, the greater the centripetal force. As the vortex spun, their heads were spinning like a ball of mush. They clung to the foam in their hands tightly. If they were not lighter than the wooden boat and had a piece of foam to pull them, they would have been pulled to the bottom of the sea like the wooden boat.
Chu Yun's situation was much better than theirs because he jumped off the boat early. Chu Yun and Xu Dongdong were in the outer ring of the vortex. They were not spinning that fast, but they still felt like vomiting after spinning around in circles.
Chu Yun lay on his back on the sea, facing the sky, swimming on his back with his hands and feet, trying to swim out along the cross-section of the whirlpool. Although Xu Dongdong was afraid of the deep sea, he felt much less afraid with Chu Yun by his side. He did not show any physical discomfort and followed Chu Yun closely.
The vortex had just formed, and it was unclear how long it would take to dissipate. The two swam diligently for over an hour but still couldn't escape. Fortunately, they were already on the outer ring from the start. Although they were pulled in a distance by the vortex, they swam out a distance on their own. Subtracting the two, they were still on the outer ring.
"Sister Chuyun, I'm so tired and dizzy!"
Xu Dongdong gradually became exhausted.
"Can you still hold on? I think the centripetal force of the vortex seems to be slowly decreasing." Chu Yun carefully felt the water flow.
"It should be okay." Xu Dongdong said gritting his teeth.
"Yeah, let's just hold on a little longer and swim along the cut surface, and we'll be able to get out soon."
Chu Yun swam forward while paying attention to Xu Dongdong behind him. He seemed to be running out of energy and he had to seize the opportunity to swim out as soon as possible.
Another 30 minutes later.
"Xu Dongdong, now is the time to swim out." Chu Yun's voice was filled with excitement.
Chu Yun's voice rang in Xu Dongdong's ears, but he only saw Chu Yun's mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't hear what she was saying. He wanted to respond to Chu Yun, but he couldn't open his mouth as if someone was strangling his throat. He wanted to swim towards her, but his arms and thighs had no strength at all. His brain wanted to control his limbs, but he was powerless. Chu Yun was right in front of him, but in his eyes, Chu Yun was very blurry, as if one after another Chu Yun's double image was swaying in front of his eyes. The sea water was sticky, and he felt like he was trapped in a ball of paste, unable to swim or break free. Finally, Chu Yun's figure swayed faster and faster, and his eyes could no longer support it, and he finally fainted.
Chu Yun didn't wait for Xu Dongdong's response. Her heart skipped a beat and she turned around. Sure enough, Xu Dongdong had fainted.
Without thinking, Chu Yunyou went back and pulled Xu Dongdong to continue swimming out of the whirlpool.
With one person accompanying her, Chu Yun's speed slowed down a lot, but now was a good time and she couldn't abandon her teammates at this time.
Chu Yun's arms ached, and she was almost numb and numb. But it wasn't enough now, she was still a little short. She gritted her teeth and used up her last bit of strength.
Finally, Chu Yun and Xu Dongdong swam out of the whirlpool, and they slowly floated forward along the normal ocean current.
"Hu." Chu Yun took a deep breath and finally came out. She took out a bottle of mineral water from the storage ring and drank most of it, holding the collar of Xu Dongdong's life jacket in her hand.
Now that they had drifted far away, Chu Yun finally felt relieved. She tied Xu Dongdong and herself together with a rope and lay on her back on the sea like a dried fish, drifting with the current. She looked up at the sky. It was already dark, and the stars were shining. They were so beautiful. She had never seen such beautiful stars in the apocalypse or in the real world.
The stars twinkled, and her eyes blinked along with them. Finally, her eyelids opened and closed slower and slower. Chu Yun could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
...
"Sister Chuyun, wake up, wake up."
Chu Yun felt like someone was calling her in her ear all the time. It was really annoying and disturbed her sweet dreams.
She swatted away the buzzing bees in her ears and turned sideways, trying to get away from the noise. As she turned, she lost her balance and choked on some water. She suddenly woke up and realized she was in the sea.
Xu Dongdong woke up in the middle of the night. He was hungry and thirsty, but the water and food were in Chuyun's storage ring. Chuyun was probably too tired and slept soundly. He knew that it was Chuyun who pulled him out of the last checkpoint. She must have put in a lot of effort. He couldn't bear to wake Chuyun, so he endured the thirst and hunger to look after her.
Until the morning, he seemed to see the shadows of mountains in the distance. Could that be land? He opened his eyes to confirm again. It was right. Then he excitedly woke Chu Yun.
Xu Dongdong: "Sister Chuyun, look, isn't that land? Are we almost completing our mission?"
There was nothing on the sea before, but now there is a place similar to a mountain, which must be land.
Sure enough, you can escape by escaping the whirlpool.
The two of them had a quick breakfast of dry bread and water, then swam forward at a faster pace.
As they got closer, the two could see clearly that it was a very large island with a long coastline that stretched as far as the eye could see. The place where they landed was a beach.
The two walked through the shallow water with joy and stepped onto the beach.
The moment my feet touched the beach, the long-lost system sound rang out.
[Congratulations on passing the raft survival level ahead of schedule. Now start the next game instance.]
【Welcome to the island survival game, you need to work hard to survive in this copy. 】
Chu Yun looked around. They were on the beach at the edge of the island. The path to the beach was not very deep. After a few steps, they began to see low bushes. The further they went in, the taller the bushes became, and inside were towering trees. The mountain that Chu Yun and her friends had seen on the sea before was deep in the forest, but now they were only at the foot of the mountain.
For the first few days, Chu Yun planned to camp by the beach, observing the situation and waiting for her teammates to arrive. Chu Yun guessed that she was one of the rare players who had completed the game early, so a large number of players would come in the next few days.
Xu Dongdong had the same idea as Chu Yun. On the one hand, he wanted to wait for Brother Hao, as having one more teammate would mean more strength. On the other hand, he was exhausted and needed to rest for a few days. He hoped that this game could give him a few days of buffer period.
The island was completely silent at this moment. Aside from the lapping of the seawater on the beach and the occasional chirping of a bird from the depths of the forest, there was no other sound. They were probably one of the first to arrive, as they didn't see a single person on the vast coastline.
Prepare to spend several days on the beach edge, where they will need food, water and simple shelter.
Being so close to the sea, they didn't have to worry about food supplies. They still had three 15-liter barrels of mineral water, enough for three people for 20 days. A makeshift shelter could be built. More importantly, their medicine supplies were low. They only had some medical bandages. Bandages were useful for bleeding wounds, but not for colds, fevers, inflammation, or toxins. The convenience stores in the area didn't sell these. Chu Yun planned to gather some herbs for emergencies if she had to go deeper into the forest.
Chu Yun and Xu Dongdong walked into the bushes and found a slightly flat piece of grass.
This is it. It is hidden by several clusters of tall shrubs and has good concealment. No one will find it as long as you don't get close. It is very suitable for a temporary shelter.
They did what they said and divided the work. Xu Dongdong went to cut some long wood, and Chu Yun was responsible for collecting some dry grass and leaves and setting up the tent.
There were many dead branches and leaves dropped from the bushes, and Chu Yun picked up the dry ones. The dead branches could be burned as firewood, and the fallen leaves could be spread on the ground as a mattress. Before, Chu Yun often used the ground as a bed and the sky as a blanket in the end times, and he could spend the night by building a fire.
Chu Yun put the dead branches and leaves he had collected into his storage ring. The ring wasn't big, so when it was almost full, he returned to the camp and piled them on the grass nearby. After going back and forth several times, Chu Yun had almost cleared out all the dead branches and leaves around him. He decided to go a little deeper.
Xu Dongdong was chopping wooden sticks with the knife they used for cooking. He cut down a tree that was neither thick nor thin, and trimmed off the branches next to it, leaving only a bare pole. Chu Yun said that he would use this pole as a tent stand.
"Dongdong, I'm going to go a little deeper to take a look. You stay here and don't run around."
Chu Yun gave Xu Dongdong some instructions and walked deeper into the cave.
"Well, be careful and come back soon!"
Chu Yun walked into the depths of the forest, took out her mace and cleared the thorns at her feet. The thorn bushes on the ground looked very new, and it didn't look like anyone had walked on them. Chu Yun guessed that there were probably only the two of them in this place, which was a good thing. Where there are many people, there are more disputes, and many things need to be hidden. She wanted to collect more supplies while no one was around.
Among the low grass, she found a number of Chinese herbs. She collected all she knew, including mugwort, selfheal, and bitter herbs. Mugwort could repel insects, and encountering an unknown, poisonous insect on this unknown island could be fatal. Selfheal cleared heat and detoxified, making it a good antidote.
At the same time, she also found a bunch of wild vegetables under the bushes. She picked them all and they just formed a small handful. This was alfalfa, which was very fresh and delicious when used to make soup.
Chu Yun had been eating meat and dry bread all the time, and he missed the taste of vegetables a little.
Chu Yun put it into the space like a treasure and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, Chu Yun noticed a familiar tree in front of him. Chu Yun took a closer look and found that it was indeed a palm tree. He had only seen it on inland before, but he didn't expect it to grow on this island.
She took out a knife and began to peel the bark of the tree trunk. This kind of palm bark has strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can be used to weave fishing nets, straw raincoats, carpets, mattresses, etc. The leaves can be processed into ropes and can also be used to wrap rice dumplings. Anyway, the whole body is a treasure.
Chu Yun raised his sword and plucked everything he could use into his space, just like plucking feathers from a passing goose. His main goal was to not waste resources.
After doing all this, Chu Yun prepared to go home.
