137 Fight for the raft 2 (1/2)

With a splash, the body is thrown to the sea, the fellow on the rafe leans aside to catch his breath.

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 God in my life, but now I pray to God. God 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.

”Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha…” 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 fucking 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 damn 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!

”FXXX!”

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: ”Damn, 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, shivering and says, ”Is... Is it you, Little 5? How can you? How can you be here? This raft is...?”
