This man is very powerful. He was on the disadvantaged side. When he has seen two companions ready to give up him, he killed those two companions by his own efforts and dominated the life raft. I think he must be very thankful to his lucky at the moment.
But he should not have thought that I have waited for the oppotunity I wanted to wait! I immediately dive into the water and swim quietly towards him. A few minutes later, just as the man is still breathing on the raft, I have suddenly surfaced from his back, and before he can respond, I have my dagger stab into his neck. Without waiting for him to fight back, I dive back into the water and swim to a safe distance before reaching the surface.
He is a dead man!
He's struggling to get up from the raft and puts his hands over his neck. Actually, the dagger I have just put askew, not in his neck, a little bit on his shoulder, but it was fatal enough. The man struggles for a while, staring at me. His eyes are full of anger, surprise, and despair!
Suddenly, he's shouting, opens his hands and trying to rush toward me. Unfortunately, in half, his life has been far away from his body. His body is stiff in mid-air, and then falls into the sea.
I swim slowly to the raft and get on it. My body out of the sea, I finally grow out of breath, gasping for breath.
I'm exhausted!
From watching the three crew members kill each other, to the time I changed from a follower to a hunter and took the raft. I feel I have exhausted all my strength, and lying on the raft I can hardly move my little finger.
But after gasping for a moment, I still manage myself to get up and look at the three bags on the boat, struggling to move past. I'm going to check the supplies on the raft now!
I never believed in any G.o.d in my life, but now I pray to G.o.d. G.o.d bless me to have some food in the bags, even if there is no food, but at least there must be some fresh water!
"..." I stare blankly at the contents of the bag in front of me, and then open the other two bags frantically and quickly.
"Hha hha hha…" I burst into laughter up and down. I laugh so much that I almost burst into tears! I laugh and cough. As I'm gasping, the muscles on my face are trembling. I know I must be crazy and scary now. But I really want to laugh!
It's ridiculous!
What a f.u.c.king ridicule!
There are three canvas bags in each of the three bags. When I open them, I find that they are packs and stacks of dollars!
I'm afraid there are millions of dollars in three bags. But there's not even a d.a.m.n drop of water! Not a drop!
For the first time in my life, I have so much wealth. Unfortunately, I am facing the situation of dying of thirst or starvation! A millionaire who died of thirst or starvation!
Is there anything more ridiculous than that?
I have laughed for a while, feeling that my body is getting softer and weaker and fall on the raft. I'm looking up at the sky, gasping for breath.
No! No! It's impossible!
There must be food and water! It's impossible for the three crew members to escape without food and water! This is the most basic common sense!
Immediately I feel as if I have found a ray of life for myself and trying to turn it over from the raft, but I have checked the raft everywhere, but still find nothing.
I try to recall it, and then vaguely remember the three crew members seemed to have some leather bags hanging on them. Were those the water bags?
They carried food and fresh water with them!
"Fx.x.x!"
I roar angrily and immediately try to search the sea for the bodies of the three crew members, but it's too late.
The raft has been floating for a long time, and now the waves have increased a little. The three bodies had not known where they were drifting, and I'm surrounded by the vast sea. I have no courage to abandon the raft and jump into the sea alone to find the bodies. If I have found food and water, and without the raft, I would have died too!
"Let it be." I sigh.
I lean on the raft helpless. Suddenly I have a brainstorm and I carefully take something from my pocket. My ring!
I sigh and pull out the measuring device. It and the ring are all in a small pocket sewn out of my underwear.
A moment later, I laugh helplessly: "d.a.m.n, is it playing with me?" The yellow index on the measuring device is high, which is good luck for life. Unfortunately, I'm dying of thirst and starvation!
Where can I find food and drink on the sea? I really want to throw the things in my hands into the sea water with a fit of pique, but I just stretch out my hand and really reluctant to give up. I think about it and take them back to the pocket.
Just when I have decided to give up, I hear a cry from the sea in the wind.
"Help, help..."
I'm refreshed, turn over and sit up. I see someone in a lifebuoy on the far sea, rising and falling in the waves. She seems to be swallowed up by the waves at any time, but she is struggling hard and paddling desperately.
It's Phoenix. Without hesitation, I immediately pick up the paddle on the raft and moving towards her.
I reach out and pull her onto the raft. She's pale and grey. After she coughs and gasps hard, she looks at me in surprise, s.h.i.+vering and says, "Is... Is it you, Little 5? How can you? How can you be here? This raft is...?"
I lean on the boat and am too lazy to move. "Don't ask, I got the raft."
She lies there exhausted and unable to move, but still struggling to give me a reluctant smile: "Little 5, thank you... You saved my life."
I say lightly, "Don't thank you so early. I have not saved you, yet! We're both going to dead."
She gasps for a moment and struggles to ask, "What's wrong?"
I sit up, point to the three bags and look at her. "Have you seen that?"
"So much money?" The expression on her face changs slightly. Then she turns to me and says, "This...?"
"It's a lot of money." I laugh bitterly: "A lot, a lot, a lot of money... If use these money to buy food. Buying bread can crush me to death a hundred times! Buying water can drown me a hundred times! But the problem is... Miss, this is the sea. There's no supermarket nearby!" I gasp, look at her and say to her in a low voice, "There is no food or water on board, so we are dead. Dead! So don't thank me for saving you. I just helped you to make one more choice to death."
I laugh more and more ugly: "If I don't save you, you can only drown. Now, you have at least some choices. You can choose to drown or stay on board and die of thirst or hunger."
We both look at each other for a while, and suddenly laughing. This is a very helpless laugh. In the desperate situation, people seem to throw aside all the previous grievances.
Grievances?
The resentment between me and her, whether she hates me or I despise her. Is it important at this time? In the vast sea, only two of us are left on such a raft. Maybe any big wave will send us to h.e.l.l in the next hour.
Besides, when people reach this point, do they have the strength to hate each other? After laughing for a while, I see her face getting paler and paler, her laughter weakening gradually, and then she begins to cough again.
I move a few times to her side, then pinch her wrist and feel her pulse.
Her heart rates difference, her breathing is short and quick.
"Have you been ill?" I sigh.
She reluctantly laughs. "I've been sick for several days. I don't seem to be able to adapt to the sea climate. I was beginning to be short of breathes. It's getting worse and worse in recent days."
I'm silent for a while.
Originally, there were some food in my own bag, and there were even some tablets of anti-inflammatory in it. But when I jumped into the sea with that black man in my arms, I planed to end up together. That bag had already fallen into the sea that time!
Her condition is very bad, or even serious. In this case, what she needs most is a doctor! If there is no doctor, at least have a cup of hot water, and then a dry place, warm bed, can let her lie down for a while.But there's none of them. I can only look at her and sigh.
She sees my face and smiles reluctantly.'Well, Little 5, I know my situation. It's the situation now. It doesn't matter how I die."
Since she's said that, I think about it, just lie down and say, "By the way, I haven't asked you, how did you get on that s.h.i.+p?"
"What else can I do? Escape!" There's a little resentment in her tone, and then there is a grim and tough expression appears on her face. It reminds me of her original look.
"Aren't you very curious, how did I run to do pyramid selling?" She mocks in her tone: "After that nightclub thing, I couldn't get on with it. You left the nightclub, but when William took it over, he spoke something to the outside. As a result, no nightclub dared let me go into business, so I had to go south to make money..."
What happened later was simple. She met a friend when she went south. That friend was doing pyramid selling, and Phonenix is dragged down.
But this woman is really tough! By virtue of her own ability, she actually got in touch with the boss of the pyramid marketing pit! Then along the way, she established relations.h.i.+ps with several leaders of the pyramid marketing group.
"Don't look at me like that." She says coldly, "I know what you're thinking... You're right. I slept with those men all the way! Otherwise, where could I climb to that position? Hmm?!" She speaks in a disdainful tone, but with a touch of resentment.
"What man haven't I met? As soon as those guys saw me and their eyes were s.h.i.+ning, I knew what they were thinking in the lower half of their body. Is it open my legs only? I have opened all the time! As luck would have it, one of them fell in love with me. I showed all my abilities and turned him upside down. That fellow even handed over the account to me afterwards. I was officially in their core circle. When you saw me, I was basically one of the leaders. If it hadn't been for that time that the police had banned there, I would have..."
Suddenly she sighs and is laughing bitterly. "I ran out the other day to find out that we were betrayed by someone in the group! d.a.m.n it... But they are not benevolent and I am not righteous! I just stole their money and left! I went all the way south, went to Vietnam by sea, and stayed in Vietnam for around a dozen days. I managed to get on board the s.h.i.+p and prepare to smuggle to Canada. Isn't Canada one of the most viable countries of the world? I was just going to take the money and enjoy the rest of my life."
It turns out that this woman fled for this reason.
"I am not only wanted by the police, but also tracked down by the people of the group. I rolled up a lot of money for them. If they find me, I'll die. So I can't stay in Southeast Asia. The farther I go the better!" There's a hint of pride in her tone.
I'm not interested in these things, and I don't want to continue listening to them. Anyway, it's all harmful activities, and I'm not happy to hear that.
Gradually she says a little tired, and she really can not support anymore, slowly closes her eyes, and sleeps over.
I also fall asleep in a daze.
I'm dreaming. Ironically, I didn't dream of Didi or Nanny or anyone this time. I don't dream about Juan anymore.
I only dream of running desperately in the streets and alleys. I have a lot of money in my pocket, but I have run all over any store and they all tell me that there's no water for sale. No c.o.ke, no soda, no juice. Nothing! I see a fried chicken fast food restaurant from afar, but when I go in, I find no hamburger, no chicken wings, no c.o.ke! Nothing there!
Finally, I wake up in despair, feeling bitter and dry in my mouth.
Looking at the dollars in the bags at random, I suddenly think that if someone tell me that use one million dollars trade for a bottle of c.o.ke, I'm afraid I'd like breaking my head to be willing to buy.
