Chapter 1 Survivor
Grain Rain wakes up on a golden beach.
The sun in early autumn is still hot.
The numb limbs have recovered their intuition and can already feel the pain of the countless small wounds.
Hunger began to torture his nerves the moment he woke up.
The instinct of survival made Guyu struggle to get up before he could fully open his eyes.
However, his body seemed to not belong to him, and he did not accept the command of his brain, and could not move at all.
A crab that was so small that it was not much bigger than a coin seemed to regard Gu Yu's half-open mouth as some kind of natural cave. It actually crawled over, turned its round eyes, climbed over Gu Yu's dry and swollen lips, and came between the teeth.
Guyu closed his teeth almost without hesitation, and under the crisp sound, he chewed the exoskeleton of the little crab and tasted the flesh and blood hidden in the carapace.
The blood was fishy, but it overflowed the taste buds, which made Guyu feel comfortable.
He chewed so carefully that he didn't even spit out a trace of bone residue in the end, and he swallowed it all into his stomach with difficulty.
A small piece of flesh and blood woke Guyu's body up.
He finally got up tremblingly, sat on the soft sand, and looked around.
Behind me is the endless sea, as peaceful as ever.
Around me is a small beach that is only a hundred meters long and only forty or fifty meters wide. At the end of the beach extending inward, there are lush vegetation.
As autumn just came, the temperature in the depths of the Pacific Ocean in the northern hemisphere was still suitable for plant growth.
As I saw Guyu did not find the coconut tree that he wanted to see the most, but he found a female passenger who was also in trouble not far away, lying on the beach, not knowing whether it was death or life.
"Someone!"
Gu Yu was happy, but couldn't stand up, so he could only climb towards the other side on all sides. It took about twenty meters a distance of five minutes.
When I got closer, I realized that this woman's figure was so exaggerated.
However, Gu Yu had no intention of climbing twenty meters and it would be hard for him to climb. No matter how good a woman is, she is not as valuable as a crab now.
Try to turn the other person over.
The nightgown made of tulle material has been completely fitted to the body because it is soaked in water.
She also had a mobile phone belt around her neck. It was thought that it was washed by the waves, but she rolled the strap belt under her armpits, so she was lucky to keep it.
"Julie!"
She is not Guyu's friend, but Guyu knows her quite well.
Most of the space on his hard drive was given to the other party.
The world's top model, her portrait is printed on huge posters from major shopping malls.
Gu Yu calmed down and put his ears on Julie's chest and listened. There was no "hissing" noise, his breathing was smooth, and he did not drown, just because he fell asleep due to fatigue.
"Although still alive! Still alive!"
But if you continue to dry like this, it may not be necessary.
Guyu's back was roasted with the poisonous sunshine, and the moisture in his body was rapidly losing.
He plucked up and dragged Julie into the woods not far ahead.
This action almost exhausted the heat given by the little crab, making Guyu lean against a big tree and gasp.
After he took a breath, he struggled to get up again.
"I can't rest, I have to find some food and live."
Guyu warned himself that crawling into the dense vegetation next to him on all sides, walking like wild animals, can save his energy the greatest energy.
This should be the most barren one in the coastal jungle, and there is no coconut tree.
Fortunately, when Guyu entered the jungle twenty or thirty meters, a dead tree with a lot of fungus and mushrooms was found in a humid and dark ditch.
Mutual fungus will not admit its mistakes, but Guyu has no confidence in determining whether it is poisonous.
He thought of a relatively reliable way to test the poison, which was to crush the mushrooms and apply the juice inside to the nasal mucosa.
If it is toxic, then the nasal mucosa will soon feel strong stimulation.
Ten minutes later, Guyu, who had no discomfort on his nose, piled up a handful of blue-white mushrooms with his hands, stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation, chewing and swallowing.
As the internal organs were filled with food, they immediately became active. The disordered heartbeat began to slowly recover from steady and powerfulness, pumping blood into the limbs and bones.
***************
It was dark and the moon was bright, a clear night.
Julie slowly opened her eyelids, and the coldness of the sea breeze made her curl up.
When she sat up, she was still confused and in a state of amnesia. She didn't know where she was and how she came here.
As the memory of the death of the cruise ship returned to her mind, she began to understand her situation.
I was very lucky to survive the shipwreck.
Immediately afterwards, this sense of luck was squeezed out of the body by fear.
She almost subconsciously picked up the phone hanging around her neck. During this period, she often played in the water and put a 360-degree waterproof film on her phone, which was undoubtedly lucky.
The screen of the phone lights up, but there is no signal at all.
"There must be other survivors. It's very far from the sea. It's impossible that the waves drove me here!"
Facing the blue and black world under the moonlight, she was about to use her own little strength to call for help, but just as she raised her face and faced the sea, she saw a figure lying on the ground dozens of meters away from her, on the clean beach, not knowing what she was busy with.
The moonlight was bright, and although I couldn't see the face clearly, Julie was very sure that it was a man.
The first thing she did was to look at her clothes, then closed her eyes and felt the feeling, confirming that she did not violate her while she was sleeping.
Therefore, Guyu's status has been elevated to a relatively safe and reliable partner.
Julie wanted to stand up, but her legs were weak, and what she could do was like Grain Rain, crawling forward.
Gu Yu focused on putting his face on the ground, looking at the distant sky, without noticed that there was a woman around him.
On the ground, there was a watch buried, half of the dial was buried in the sand and half exposed.
While Gu Yu was looking at the distant sky, his hand was still adjusting the position of the minute hand very slightly.
Soon, he seemed to have completed some kind of work. He sat up and breathed a sigh of relief, and choked back in the second half because he saw a woman sitting kneeling next to him.
He was startled.
"You're awake."
The opening remark of nonsense.
Julie nodded, not seeming to know how to answer this sentence, so she raised her own question:
"Are you also a survivor of the Sky Garden?"
Gu Yu nodded and put his watch on his wrist again.
"What were you doing just now?"
Facing Julie's question, Guyu pointed to a star in the sky and said:
"Calculate the angle between us and the North Star here, determine the latitude we are, and then use the location of the twelve zodiac stars to determine the approximate longitude of our place."
Julie was very curious. She never knew that she could use this method to determine her location.
"Where are we now?"
Guyu pointed to the North Star in the sky and said:
"The angle between us and the North Star here is exactly the length of the watch's lattice for an hour, which means we are at 30 degrees north latitude. The current month is Virgo, and the time is 12 o'clock at night. Look at the position of Pisces opposite Virgo, which is almost in the south direction, without any deflection angle, so if you guess correctly, we are at about 180 degrees east longitude.
