Chapter 95: Fort Jefferson

A large number of clouds burning like broken cotton appeared in the sky not far away;

These light ink-free clouds gathered rapidly from all directions, trying to block the last bright sky above Li Ming's head.

As the waves on the sea surface gradually became stronger and stronger, the strong wind in the air began to whimper and scream.

The situation in front of him was enough to make Li Ming frightened. He felt that if he was in the water at this time, he would probably reach the sky if he wanted to survive later.

At this time, if you can look down at the Caribbean from a height of tens of thousands of meters, you will clearly see a powerful tropical whirlwind coming from the Atlantic Ocean;

It rushed into the sea like a monster, stirring up huge waves, looting the pure beaches, destroying green forests, quiet islands, and destroying beautiful corals...

The whistling wind was very affecting Li Ming's speech. He opened his throat and said to the camera.

“Every year... the summer is the Caribbean storm season, and sometimes I can encounter it several times a month…”

"Brothers, it seems that the hurricane is coming soon. Now I must find a shelter anchorage and safe haven as soon as possible. If the hurricane approaches, the strong winds above 270 kilometers per hour will cause huge waves of 20 meters high on the sea surface. At that time..."

He shouted, his hands were also very flexible, and Li Ming quickly tied all the locks on the ship to ensure that the life-saving equipment was strengthened and secured;

Originally, the things in the room had to be sorted out, but at this time he didn't care about so much. Now his destination is the nearest Dangtuster Island, where there is an abandoned Jefferson military fortress. It is his only choice to avoid hurricanes in the area.

Half an hour later.

When he drove the Explorer, he finally saw the beaches of dry tortugas and red brick fortresses.

Li Ming was surprised to find that there seemed to be a group of people here, and a small yacht was parked on the pier.

Gangui Island is an island group, including seven small islands.

Because this island group is far away from land and does not have freshwater resources, it is often rarely visited here. However, it is precisely because of this that the original ecology and species diversity of Lagan Turtle Island are guaranteed.

This place naturally has become a paradise for diving enthusiasts.

There is no endless turquoise sea, hot tropical sunshine, and quiet and lonely island, forming a perfect picture.

On the center of the large island and reef, a hexagonal red brick fortress was built. It was originally a military base hundreds of years ago, but later it was changed to a prison.

At this time, the waves on the sea surface were already very large, and the yacht rolled even to about 20 degrees;

It is difficult for ordinary people to stand firm in this situation, and even the fans in the live broadcast room were shocked by the strong winds and waves blew on the screen;

But Li Ming stood firmly in the cockpit as tightly as nails and shouted: "There is already someone at the dock. I plan to drive the ship immediately behind the red brick building next to it and anchor it. With this fortress, it is a natural safe haven..."

He drove the yacht quickly towards his destination. At this time, the hideous wind on the sea roared angrily, tearing the whole world unrestrainedly. The bright sky had become dark a few hours ago.

All the scenery has changed color, and the sun cannot see any shadow avoided

The storm poured down like a waterfall, and the strong wind and raindrops were stirred together, hitting the boat like dense bullets, and the sound was deafening.

After the Explorer arrived at the predetermined position, Li Ming did not care to stop the ship and put the anchor directly into the sea. The water depth here was several meters, but due to the hurricane, the water depth soared a lot.

As the chains clattered, the anchor quickly dived into the water and grabbed the seabed tightly.

Li Ming did not care about the things in the yacht when he fixed the anchor cable, and his life was important at this time;

He immediately drove the lifeboat with some essential supplies and rushed directly to the beach next to him.

Fortunately, the islands outside Gangui Island block most of the waves like breakwaters, otherwise the waves on the sea surface would have to be at least ten meters at this time. If he wanted to go ashore, it would be much worse than climbing the sky.

But even sitting on the lifeboat, Li Ming still felt the power of nature. The rain hit his face and it was like a needle prick...

Even the audience sitting in front of the computer also heard the sound of the sound through the storm of the screen, and the strong wind roared, and the rumbling sound of the waves slapped against the reefs, so shocked that they could not speak.

The lifeboat rushed directly to the beach. Li Ming had difficulty getting ashore. He didn't bother to look back and check the condition of the yacht behind him. He rushed into Jefferson Fortress with supplies from his backpack.

This fortress made of 16 million bricks is very strong, and it will basically be safe after entering the fortress;

But most of the rooms here used to be standard buildings for prisons and military fortresses, but they were old and most of the windows were decaying and were greatly irrigated.

Li Ming finally found a closed room outside, probably the warehouse in the fortress. The moment he entered the room, the whole world seemed to have quieted down;

The audience could clearly hear Li Ming's breathing sound.

【Ming Ge, awesome Kras】

【Finally I can take a breath;】

[I feel so hung up in my heart that the tropical hurricane is too vast and afraid.]

But there were no electric lights here in the fortress. At this time, the dark clouds and strong winds outside covered the entire world;

"Brothers, now my whole body is soaked, I have to make a fire."

"And this hurricane will have to be at least one or two days. I guess I will stay on the island until the storm is over. I hope my Explorer will be damaged by then."

Li Ming turned on the strong light searchlight, and he found a pile of wood in a small attic;

There is no interesting thing about drilling wood to make fire. After all, there are naturally lighters on lifeboats;

Soon, as the red bonfire ignited, it was no problem for Li Ming to be warm now at least.

He changed into clean clothes and roughly counted the shoes and lace supplies with him;

The various emergency compressed dry foods in the backpack were originally in lifeboats. He configured them at 1.5 times before going to sea, so the food was not burdened to him.

The only thing that was more uncomfortable was that the fresh water was not sufficient, but the three bottles of mineral water in his backpack were enough for him to last for two or three days.

It was not dark yet, but it was already so dark. There were some bushes in the open space in the middle of the fortress, but the strong wind from several sides poured in was very messy;

The low bushes lowered their bodies and tried hard to resist the fierce hurricane, but the hurricane wanted to uproot it...

Just under the bonfire, Li Ming burned himself a cup of hot water. Although the wind was whistling outside, the pouring rain crackled on the sea and the land of Gangui Island, making deafening sounds.

But the red light of the bonfire shines on the face, making people feel much more at ease.

The barrage of the live broadcast room also began to come out to make fun of it.

[These two days are either lobsters or sea cucumbers every day, today...]

[Actually, I think this treasure hunt is the most thrilling and looks the most exciting]

[How long will this hurricane last? I don’t think the anchor’s food seems to be a lot]

[A hurricane is such a big thing, it can be warned of, it feels like it is suspected of making a show!]

【Where did the keyboard spray come from?】

[The most current technology in real time has no way to predict when and where the hurricane hits]

....

After glanced at the live broadcast room that was quarreling, Li Ming didn't take it seriously. After all, he had no time to pay attention to those things, and he had just experienced the survivor of the disaster.

Listening to the howling wind outside, he said casually:

"Generally, the duration of the peak period of a hurricane depends mainly on its own strength. If it is weaker, it will last up to 12 hours, and if it is stronger, it will last about two days."
