The unpacking process that followed was full of surprises, and it also helped Yezi determine which period of the shipwreck it was from.
Three boxes of the same type of hand grenades were found, ten boxes of bolt-action rifles were found, ten boxes of bullets were found, and two boxes of penicillin were also found.
This is something from World War II.
The cardboard box containing penicillin had long been soaked and ruined. If it weren't for the English on the exposed glass bottle, and the fact that he knew a little English, Ye Zi wouldn't have known what kind of medicine it was.
Although the bolt-action rifles were soaked in seawater, they were still recognizable as Springfield rifles manufactured by Bald Eagle, and the grenades were also shaped like Bald Eagles.
Besides these, Ye Zi also found a box of gold bars. It's hard to say how much they're worth, but each gold bar weighs about a pound, and there are more than a hundred of them.
Regardless of anything else, these gold bars alone made Ye Zi incredibly wealthy.
In addition to the gold bars, there were also new finds of antiques, but they were all ruined: a few wooden scrolls and several vessels that had been corroded beyond recognition by seawater.
The calligraphy and paintings are definitely beyond repair, but I don't know if there's any possibility of repairing those few pieces of tableware.
After storing the vessels in her spatial storage, Ye Zi looked around and, finding nothing else of value, immediately decided to leave.
Turning her head to look at the hole blown into the cabin, Ye Zi walked over and pried it open a few times, breaking apart several planks just big enough for her to pass through.
It's much easier than going through the cabin door.
After surfacing, Ye Zi spoke to the system in her mind:
"System, investigate if there's anything on this shipwreck that can help me."
The system also knew that Ye Zi was trying to survive, knew what could help Ye Zi and what would be useless to Ye Zi, and immediately began to investigate before providing the answer:
"This shipwreck can be used for firewood when it's pulled ashore, and the small boat underneath can be used for fishing. That's about it."
"What did you say? There's another small boat trapped under the weight?" Ye Zi asked in surprise.
When he was observing the shipwreck, he didn't notice the small boat. It was probably used for trawling or escape, but in any case, the small boat was indeed helpful to Ye Zi.
"Yes, although it's trapped, with the host's strength, pulling it out shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Zi had other ideas. First of all, since the small boat used for escape was still there, it meant that everyone on the sunken ship was dead.
Those five skeletons covered in barnacles and coral were the entire crew on board.
Without a systematic investigation, Ye Zi would never have imagined that there was a corpse in each of those five locations.
This way, we won't have to argue about ownership of these items after they're taken out.
Secondly, the island has few resources, and the shipwreck is only about 800 meters away from the island. It would be good to tow the shipwreck back and use it as firewood.
There are also the original tools on the ship; perhaps they can be cleaned up and reused.
Removing those few panes of glass could improve the conditions of the shelter.
In general, getting the shipwreck back is a win-win situation, since we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway.
That's what I thought, but in reality, it was fraught with difficulties. Ye Zi only carried a harpoon and a machete with her, nothing else.
Whether it was a fishing boat or a lifeboat, they were completely covered with corals and barnacles, weighing well over five tons.
Pulling out the lifeboats alone was incredibly difficult.
Yezi went to sea and didn't return for a long time. Reba on the island searched everywhere but couldn't find her and started to get anxious.
Survival is important, winning the game is important, but nothing is more important than human life.
Anxious Reba kept glancing at the drone, already considering whether to seek help.
But when I think about the rules I learned when I participated in the show, I realize that if the production team determines that a contestant is in danger, they will notify them immediately and send out a rescue team.
In other words, although Ye Zi hasn't returned yet, she should be safe from danger.
She will also receive a notification if Yezi is in danger.
But the anxiety didn't lessen because they hadn't received any notification from the production team; on the contrary, it grew stronger as time went on.
Just when Reba was at her wit's end, a figure suddenly emerged from the sea not far from the shore.
It was a leaf with its upper body bare.
Ye Zi was helpless. The lifeboat was indeed pulled out, but the seabed was also churned up and became extremely murky.
Moreover, the lifeboats were parasitized by corals and barnacles, making it impossible for them to surface.
Therefore, Ye Zi had to retreat first, wait for the seawater to settle, and then take an entrenching tool to clear the corals and barnacles, and try to get the escape boat to surface.
Before Ye Zi even reached the shore, Reba jogged over.
With tears in her eyes, she asked:
"Where have you been? You've been gone for so long, you scared me to death."
Ye Zi raised her hand and rubbed Reba's head, saying:
"I went swimming in the sea, quite far away, and found a shipwreck. I'm figuring out how to bring it back. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Dilraba nodded, as long as there was no danger, and smiled through her tears:
"I almost called for help because I hadn't seen you for so long."
Ye Zi smiled and comforted him:
"Don't worry, there shouldn't be anything near the island that can threaten me. If the production team doesn't issue any notification, then there's nothing to worry about."
Ye Zi knows the show's true colors; there's no "call for help" segment at all. As soon as the show's producers think a contestant can't handle the danger, they immediately send out a rescue team.
Since you're already facing danger, instead of calling for help, it's better to think about how to deal with it. Sending a rescue team directly saves more time than looking for an opportunity to ask for help.
Just like when Ye Zi encountered the bear last time, although the rescue team wasn't needed, at least they arrived quickly. When rescuing people, time is of the essence, and that's very important.
After getting ashore, Ye Zi untied the seafood tied around his waist. This was food for him and Reba, and of course, he couldn't throw it away.
Then, while grilling the fish, Ye Zi talked about her discovery.
He didn't mention the weapons, antiques, or gold; he only said that he had found a shipwreck and that after dinner he would go over to see if there was anything that could be recycled.
Reba didn't mind. As long as she knew what Ye Zi was doing, she wouldn't be anxious or panic and would ask for help to abandon the survival competition.
After dinner, Ye Zi told Reba to rest, while he went back into the sea with his entrenching tool. Of course, I had to bring my harpoon and machete, since dinner wasn't ready yet.
While cleaning the lifeboats, shooting a few fish for dinner was also a necessary task.
In just over an hour, the turbidity of the seawater caused by pulling out the lifeboats had subsided, and a lone object covered with coral and barnacles lay beside the wreck.
If no one points it out, at first glance no one would think it's a small boat; it looks more like a newly formed coral reef.
Although the boat wasn't big, it was perfectly capable of letting Leaf fish on the sea, which is why Leaf came back to continue cleaning—because it was useful.
Take a deep breath, dive down, and then get to work.
