Chapter 137 - Fight for the raft (2) (1/2)
Translator: Lionwwang Editor: Lionwwang
With a splash, the body is thrown to the sea. The man on the rafe is leaning 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 liferaft alone. I think he must be very thankful to his luck at the moment.
But he should not have thought that I have waited for the opportunity. I’ve been waiting for a long time already! I’m immediately diving into the water and swimming 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 stabbed into his neck. Without waiting for him to fight back, I’ve dived back into the water and swimming 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 stabbed askew, not in his neck, but a little bit close to his shoulder, but it’s fatal enough. The man is struggling for a while, staring at me. His eyes are full of anger, surprise, and despair!
Suddenly, he’s shouting, opening his hands and trying to rush toward me. Unfortunately, in half, his life has been away from his body. His body is stiff in mid-air, and then falling into the sea.
I swim slowly to the raft and get on it. When my body has gotten out of the sea, I’m finally sighing a deep breath of relief, gasping for breath.
I’m exhausted!
From watching these three crew members killing each other, to I change from a follower to a hunter and take the raft finnaly. I feel I have exhausted all my strengths. I’m lying on the raft and can even hardly move my little finger.
But after gasping for a while I still manage myself to get up to check the three bags on the raft. 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’m praying to the God. God bless me to have some foods in the bags, even if there is no food, but at least there must be some fresh water!
“…” I’m staring blankly at the things in the bag in front of me, and then open the other two bags frantically and quickly.
“Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha…” I’m bursting into laughter up and down. I’m laughing so hard that almost bursting into tears! I’m laughing, coughing, and gasping at the same time. 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!
It’s really fucking funny!
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 these 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 and funnier than that?
I have laughed for a while, feeling that my body is getting softer and weaker. I fall on the raft. I’m looking up at the sky, gasping for breath.
No! No! It’s impossible!
There must be foods 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, and then vaguely remember the three crew members seemed to have some leather bags hanging on them. Were those the water bags?
They were carrying food and fresh water with them!
“FXXX!”
I am roaring angrily and immediately trying to search the sea for the bodies of the these three crew members, but it’s already too late.
The raft has been floating for a long time, and now the waves have increased a little. The three bodies do not know where are drifting at, and I’m surrounded by the vast sea. I have no courage to abandon the raft and jump back 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’m sighing.
I’m leaning 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 was sewn in a small pocket together with the ring on my underwear.
A moment later, I’m laughing 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 seawater with a fit of pique. But I’m just stretching out my hand and really reluctant to give up. I think about it and put 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, turning over and sitting up. I see someone in a lifebuoy rising and falling in the waves in the distance. She seems to be swallowed up by the waves at any time, but is still struggling and paddling desperately.
It’s Phoenix. Without hesitation, I immediately pick up the paddle on the raft and moving towards her.
