I was stunned, and Chen Jian next to me was also stunned. He immediately ran to my side, his eyes filled with fear.
"Brother Sihai, did you hear that? What's going on?"
I glanced at Chen Qian, then at the direction from which the gunshot had come, and shook my head.
Based on my guess, the gunshots from those foreigners on the beach should have come from that distance and direction, but it's broad daylight, how could they possibly make such a sound?
At this moment, Wang Ping and Yang Rui, who were at the foot of the mountain, also ran up. Yang Rui's face was very ugly. He frowned and asked, "Are there other people on this deserted island?"
I nodded: "There are also some foreigners who were stranded on this deserted island by accident. Their ships ran aground and they have no way to go back now."
After hearing this, Yang Rui looked at me and then at the direction from which the gunshot had just been fired.
"I think they must have encountered some danger, so they are sending signals. If it were really a gunfight, there would be no way that the signals would stop after two shots."
After hearing Yang Rui's words, Wang Ping, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement for the first time ever.
“That’s what I was thinking too, Sihai. Do you remember when we parted ways, you told those foreigners that if anything happened to them, they should fire a warning shot into the air. Two shots, according to our previous agreement, meant they were in danger. Do you think we should go and help them?”
After listening, Chen Jian looked at the three of us with a disapproving expression: "If they really encounter a wolf pack or a group of indigenous people, how much help can we even if we go?"
Bai Wei suddenly appeared out of nowhere and nodded quickly after hearing Chen Jian's words: "Yes, I also think that even if they encountered some danger, we don't need to help them. Besides, they only fired two shots and didn't hear any other gunshots. Obviously, it's not very dangerous. Otherwise, with their stockpile of guns and ammunition, they would have been riddled with bullets long ago. How could it be just one or two shots?"
After listening to Bai Wei's words, I looked at Wang Ping and the others. Wang Ping's expression was clearly very unpleasant.
"I still think we should go and see. After all, we're all in the same boat. If the foreigners are really under threat or something important has happened, you have to understand that we have to help them. Otherwise, if they really die, we will also be in great danger."
I looked at it, and Wang Ping also felt that what Wang Ping said was very correct, so I nodded.
“I understand. Let’s take stock and find two people to stay here to guard the camp and the women. The rest of us can grab our equipment and go check it out.”
Bai Wei and Chen Jian wanted to say something more, but I waved them off.
Bai Wei has made great progress these past two days, perhaps because Yang Rui's sudden arrival made Bai Wei realize that our current situation is not very good, so he has become much more vigilant.
Wang Ping and his team immediately packed up their gear. Several male colleagues pushed the cart we had brought earlier onto the beach. After all, if the group of foreigners on the beach really didn't have anything else to do, we could take this opportunity to gather some food. It wouldn't be good to go in empty-handed and come back empty-handed.
We quickly packed everything we could and then rushed to the foreigners' beach camp.
We didn't have time to rest along the way. When we finally reached the beach, we found that there was nothing strange around us. However, the foreigners weren't wearing any clothes; instead, they were all standing by the woods.
Hearing the noise, they turned to look at me. One of the bearded foreigners was their leader. When he saw us, he rushed over excitedly.
They pulled in a few other male colleagues to help us translate. The bearded guy was very excited and rattled off a whole bunch of things.
After listening, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He turned to look at me, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Wang Ping, standing to the side, grew impatient. He glanced at ** and couldn't help but urge, "Hey kid, just say what you want to say! Why are you wasting time stammering like this?"
After hearing what Wang Ping said, he gritted his teeth and said, "They said there might be a tsunami coming to this place. Look, there are already dark clouds over the beach, it looks like it's going to rain heavily. So, they want us to come over and think of a solution."
After hearing the analysis, Wang Ping's face turned pale: "What? A tsunami!"
A tsunami is a destructive ocean wave caused by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption, undersea landslide, or weather change.
The wave speed is as high as 700-800 kilometers per hour.
Tsunamis are mainly controlled by seabed topography, coastline geometry, and wave characteristics. Roaring waves and ice walls repeat every few minutes or tens of minutes, destroying dikes, flooding land, and causing great damage.
But having been on this deserted island for so long, we never imagined that one day such a thing would happen to the oceans we once depended on.
I don't know how these foreigners knew that a tsunami was going to happen here, but I know they had absolutely no reason to joke with us like this.
Their faces were also pale, and Wang Ping's face turned white instantly.
After listening to what the bearded man and the others said, Yang Rui quickly ran a few steps, then stood on the beach, looking outside and making some very strange hand gestures back and forth.
A male colleague standing behind him whispered, "Is this guy scared out of his wits? Or is he trying to stop the tsunami here?"
Upon hearing his male colleague's words, Wang Ping let out a cold laugh in anger: "Do you think this is a movie shoot? Stop talking nonsense."
The male colleague immediately fell silent. Wang Ping stood to the side watching Yang Rui chatter away for a while, and was about to call Yang Rui's name when Yang Rui turned around and ran back.
Upon seeing us, their expressions became exceptionally serious.
"Based on my guess and experience, a tsunami is indeed going to happen here, but it is not clear when it will happen. The sea is already raging, and we absolutely cannot stay here any longer. If they cannot take this ship with them, then they will have to abandon ship."
After Yang Rui finished speaking, he communicated with these foreigners in a foreign language again, and I realized that this kid's foreign language skills were so good that I was amazed.
After hearing Yang Rui's words, the foreigners began to feel apprehensive.
We've found a place to settle on this deserted island, but they've been surviving on this ship. If we were to abandon it here and wait for a tsunami, it would be smashed to pieces.
By then, who knows what this place will become? They might not even have any hope of survival...
