Lu Ye stood at the door of the newly built wooden house, steadied his body, and looked in the direction of the black smoke through the splashing water.
The black smoke is still there!
Although it was shaken by the wind, it still stubbornly transmitted signals to the sky.
Oh, it seems he hasn't managed to leave yet. Can his little boat, or his teammates' boats, withstand these waves?
There was no sympathy in Lu Ye's eyes, only indifference.
"Don't worry about him," Lu Ye turned and walked into the wooden house, taking out the cass stove and the simmering hot pot from his backpack.
"Let's eat! Recharge! 'Raging Sea' has just begun!"
Although the cabin is not big, it is more than enough to accommodate three people.
Outside, the wind was howling and the waves were surging, but the small wooden house provided a relatively safe space.
Chen Shu and Su Baiyue also withdrew their gaze from the island, and there was no more ripple on their faces.
In the game of survival, compassion is the cheapest and most deadly thing.
Soon, the rich aroma of hot pot filled the small wooden house.
At this moment, after a moment of silence, the regional channel was suddenly flooded with desperate messages for help!
"Help! The waves are too big! My raft is about to fall apart!"
"Someone come and save me! Coordinates XXX, XXX! I don't want to die!"
"Is there any big guy nearby? Please take me! I'm willing to do anything!"
"Water! There's water everywhere! The boat is going to sink!!"
Inside the wooden house, the bubbling sound of the hot pot and the roaring of the wind and waves outside the window formed a strange symphony.
The rich aroma of butter temporarily dispelled the salty smell of the sea water, but it could not dispel the atmosphere of despair in the regional channel.
【Regional Channel】
"It's over! We've hit a rock! There's a huge hole in the bottom of my boat! Water is pouring in! Help!!"
"Damn it! It's foggy! It's all white! I can't tell east from west! Does anyone have a compass?! I'll pay a fortune!"
"Wuwuwu... I don't want to die... I don't want to die yet..."
"Is anyone near XX Island? We've hit a reef! The boat is about to be lost! Please..."
The final cries of the dying flashed across the screen, only to be quickly covered by new cries for help.
Lu Ye picked up a piece of boiled beef and stuffed it into his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the constantly refreshing channel information, and his brows were slightly frowned.
On the rocks...fog...
These fragments of information quickly combined in his mind.
"It looks like it's more than just a big wave." Lu Ye put down his chopsticks, took out the brand new waterproof telescope from his backpack, and looked towards the south with difficulty despite the rain hitting the window of the wooden house.
The sea was dark, with huge waves. As far as the eye could see, there was only surging white foam and pouring rain.
But at the end of the field of vision, on the southern skyline, a dark cloud that was almost connected to the sea surface was slowly pressing down like a huge shadow!
The clouds are low and the air is filled with water vapor...
Lu Ye's heart was filled with alarm.
He has also encountered extreme weather and has an intuition about these meteorological changes that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
This "raging sea" is probably more than just wind and waves! Maybe... there's a thunderstorm too!
Once a thunderstorm comes, any metal ship in this open sea, especially a small boat like theirs equipped with simple equipment, may become a target for lightning!
"Compass!" Lu Ye almost shouted, and quickly took out the simple compass with a brass case from another backpack.
The pointer swung wildly in the violent turbulence, but still stubbornly pointed in one direction.
"Chen Shu! Take the helm!" Lu Ye's voice was unquestionable, "We're heading north! Full speed!"
There are low-hanging thunderstorm clouds in the south, and the north is relatively safe! At least that's what it seems like now!
"Okay!" Shen Shu responded immediately. At this critical moment of life and death, she had an almost instinctive trust in Lu Ye's judgment.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, trying to stabilize the boat in the raging waves and adjust the direction according to the instructions of the compass.
[0 hours and 10 minutes until the official arrival of "Raging Tides"]
Last ten minutes!
The sky seemed to be splashed with thick ink, with dark clouds pressing down overhead. The sea was pitch black, with only the white foam brought up by the huge waves, flickering like ghosts in the darkness.
The raindrops turned into more violent hail, crackling against the wooden roof, making a heart-pounding sound.
"Su Baiyue! Bring your boat closer!" Lu Ye shouted outside, and at the same time he dug out a tough nylon rope from his supplies, "We have to tie together! Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with the waves!"
Su Baiyue drove her speedboat and approached with difficulty in the wind and waves.
Her face was pale, and she was obviously frightened by this doomsday scene.
"Bang!"
A wave hit and the two speedboats collided violently.
Lu Ye was quick to throw one end of the rope to Su Baiyue, and quickly fixed the other end firmly to the railing of his speedboat.
"Thank you...thank you!" Su Baiyue's voice trembled as she tied the rope tightly.
Looking at the two ships being connected together, a sense of dependence inexplicably welled up in my heart.
Although this man sometimes speaks harshly, he never abandons me at critical moments.
[0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds]
[System Announcement: Survival Challenge "Raging Sea" Officially Opens! Duration: 24 Hours!]
【Good luck to all survivors! 】
The moment the countdown reaches zero!
“BOOM!!”
A pale, blinding flash of lightning tore through the pitch-black sky, followed closely by deafening thunder!
Heavy rain poured down in an instant, and the raindrops were so dense that it was almost impossible to open your eyes!
The wind suddenly picked up, hitting the tiny speedboat hard!
"Ah——!" Su Baiyue screamed!
Her speedboat was hit by a huge, almost vertical wave and suddenly tilted to one side, and was about to be overturned!
"Hold on tight!" Lu Ye shouted!
Because his speedboat was equipped with a wooden house, its center of gravity was more stable. Although it was shaking violently, it could still withstand the pressure for the time being.
No! This is too dangerous! Her boat is too light, it will be destroyed sooner or later!
A hint of determination flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.
"Su Baiyue!" He roared across the storm, "Listen! First, swing the important things on the boat, especially the lifebuoy, over here with a rope! Then, climb over here along the rope! Quick!"
"What?" Su Baiyue was stunned.
"Stop talking nonsense! Your boat can't hold on!" Lu Ye's voice carried an unquestionable command.
"Come to my place for safety first! Once the storm passes, I'll move your stuff back to you. What's more important, your life or your stuff?!"
The instinct for survival overcame hesitation.
Su Baiyue gritted her teeth, quickly tied together several lifebuoys and a small bag of compressed biscuits with another thin rope, and threw them towards Lu Ye's boat with all her might.
Lu Ye caught it and dragged it into the wooden house.
Then, Su Baiyue took a deep breath, held on tightly to the thick nylon rope connecting the two boats with both hands, pushed his feet on the side of his own boat, and risked being swept away by the huge waves, crawling towards Lu Ye's speedboat little by little!
