Chapter 0824 – Landing

“I …… seem to have seen the direction where Mr. Zhuang landed.”

Ding Hao, who had just been pulled up by Peng Fei, said with a bit of uncertainty after spitting out the fishy, salty seawater in his mouth.

“You saw it? Over there?”

Peng Fei asked loudly as he grabbed Ding Hao’s collar after hearing his words.

“I’m not sure, but when I was landing, I glanced upwards, and it seemed to have drifted over in that direction.”

The direction that Ding Hao was referring to was the sea where the storm had just occurred, except that the storm at sea had come and gone quickly, and now it had basically almost dissipated, and the dark clouds in the sky were not so cumulatively thick, and a few points of starlight shone down on the sea like fishing fires dotted with stars.

“He, you come row the boat first, I’ll make a call out.”

Peng Fei had spent almost all of this hour or two fighting the waves without stopping for a moment, and this would be exhausting.

As a special forces soldier with rich experience in wilderness survival, Peng Fei knew the importance of physical strength, after handing over the oars to He Shuang, Peng Fei first flipped out a piece of chocolate and bit it in his mouth, before receiving the satellite phone wrapped up in a plastic bag from Tenya.

“Little …… Peng, can you give me some water to drink?”

After handing the phone to Peng Fei, Tengya said a little embarrassed, she didn’t know how she had tossed it, the four bottles of mineral water she had put on her body, one bottle was gone.

“Drink it! But it’s a bit troublesome to go to the toilet!”

Peng Fei threw a bottle of water over, his words also let dry mouth was ready to gulp water Tenaya, an instant became extremely ladylike, actually only water wet lips, will be the bottle cap to tighten.

At this time in Beijing, it is already three or four o’clock in the morning, Ouyang Lei draped in a coat, walking back and forth in the study, there has been no news of Zhuang Rui, so that he fidgeted all night.

“Zhuang Rui, are you alright?”

Suddenly hearing a ringtone ringing, Ouyang Lei rushed to the side of the table with an arrow step and grabbed the phone, but what came from inside was a busy tone, which made Ouyang Lei react, picking up the phone and pressing the answer button.

“I’m Peng Fei, everyone has been found except for Brother Zhuang, we are now looking for Brother Zhuang.”

Peng Fei knew that the person on the other side was in a high position of power, but this was not the time to respect the other party, and opened the door to the current situation.

“No accidents happened during the parachute jump, right?”

After hearing Peng Fei’s words, Ouyang Lei’s heart that had been lifted for half a day was finally put back into his stomach.

As long as the airplane was not on board when it exploded, it shouldn’t be a big problem, and in another two hours, the Chinese battleships that were originally in the Indian Ocean for a military visit would be able to arrive at the designated sea area.

“Reporting to the chief, Brother Zhuang’s parachute was open, but the landing location was a bit off, we’re in the middle of searching for it now.”

Peng Fei repeatedly asked after the approximate height of the parachute he saw, and could be sure that it was Zhuang Rui, hence the answer above.

“Good, you guys pay attention to safety, the phone is on at all times, the rescue team will be able to arrive two hours later at the latest.”

Ouyang Lei took a long breath of relief, after hanging up his cell phone, he reached out and touched the landline, but after thinking for a while, he still didn’t pick it up, the old man should have already gone to bed this time.

Just when Ouyang Lei wanted to go and lie down for a while, the landline suddenly rang shrilly.

“Grandpa, why aren’t you resting this late?”

After Ouyang Lei picked up the phone, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he heard the voice coming from the other end of the phone.

Ouyang Gang didn’t answer his grandson’s words, and after waving his hand at the special nurse on the side, signaling her not to disturb him, he then said into the phone, “How is Xiao Rui doing? Any news?”

“There’s news, little brother has parachuted, and the parachute opened normally, grandpa, you don’t need to worry, quickly sleep!”

Ouyang Lei looked up at the clock on the wall when he spoke, the hour hand just pointed at four in the morning, he then felt that the old man’s love and care for this grandson, actually disrupted the decades as one day’s rest and relaxation time, has been waiting until now.

“When you find Xiao Rui tomorrow, have him give the old man a call.”

A tired expression appeared on the old man’s face, after hanging up the phone, he returned to his room under the nurse’s support, this night’s waiting had made the old man consume energy no less than commanding a battle when he was young!

“Pfft, cough ……”

Zhuang Rui had just emerged from the seawater, when he was reentered by a big wave, Zhuang Rui, who had never swam in the waves, suffered a big loss and drank several mouthfuls of seawater.

Although the wind has weakened a lot of this sea, but the sea is still rough, the waves of the mountains and seas like a heavy one after another, smashed Zhuang Rui dizziness, I do not know how much fishy and salty sweat filled in the stomach.

At this time Zhuang Rui, incomparable nostalgia just floating in the air, he did not think, fall into the sea will only, waiting for him is actually this situation, struggling in the sea water for ten minutes, Zhuang Rui was not able to comfortably gasp on a breath of air.

“Paralyzed, this is what place ah? Peng Fei, He Shuang, Ding …… Well, cough ……”

Zhuang Rui really can’t stand this endless waves, desperately swam out of the water, just opened his mouth and shouted a few times, immediately suffocated back by a big wave, choking Zhuang Rui almost didn’t cough up blood.

Several times in a row of the waves blow, let Zhuang Rui appreciate the sky Wei unpredictable, want to manpower against nature, their own really is a little bit out of their depth.

After calming down, Zhuang Rui learned a good lesson, his hands also do not slide, will relax the whole body, just rely on the buoyancy of the lifejacket, floating on the sea.

In this way, although the waves are big, but can no longer beat on Zhuang Rui, at most sometimes big waves will roll him into the sea water more than ten meters deep, but early prepared Zhuang Rui, each time in time to hold his breath, relying on the buoyancy of the lifejacket, once again floating on the water surface.

Zhuang Rui did not know how long he had been floating in the waves, but the sky slowly brightened up, as if last night’s storm had never appeared, when the sun jumped out from the east, the sky, the sea, were rendered into a golden color.

“Damn, it’s finally died down.”

As the sun rose, the waves gradually calmed down, the sea looked like it was standing still, but Zhuang Rui realized that the sea still had a flow, at the very least, his own body had been on the move.

“Let’s eat something first!”

After tossing and turning for the whole night, although he could use his aura to recover his strength, but aura can’t be taken as a meal, Zhuang Rui pulled out a piece of sticky chocolate soaked in seawater from the pocket of his lifejacket, and directly stuffed it into his mouth, he extremely needed to replenish his calories right now.

The original sweet chocolate, but now it is with a fishy flavor, so that Zhuang Rui spent a lot of effort before swallowing it into his stomach, compared to the taste of chocolate, Zhuang Rui is more focused on his own life.

Chocolate can not be dipped, Zhuang Rui will be in the pocket of four or five pieces of chocolate all eaten in the stomach, which took out the mineral water and drank a big mouthful.

Zhuang Rui brain did not save some water to drink the idea, in his thought, Ouyang Lei sent a rescue team, must soon be able to find themselves, just Zhuang Rui does not know, he is now from the coordinates of the location, has deviated from hundreds of kilometers.

Early in the morning the sea fog, although not out of sight, but dozens of meters away is also hazy can not see clearly.

An hour passed, Zhuang Rui finished a bottle of water, the heart is full of joy to escape from death.

Two hours passed, Zhuang Rui finished the second bottle of water, pondering in his heart, turn back how to deal with that bastard Muta?

Three hours passed, the sun has risen to the top of Zhuang Rui’s head, hot sunlight makes Zhuang Rui had to bury his head into the water from time to time to reduce the sunlight.

Five hours past, Zhuang Rui watch hand, has pointed at twelve o’clock in the noon, Zhuang Rui pocket four bottles of mineral water, has been all finished, lips are containing salt seawater bubble white cracked up.

But fortunately, Zhuang Rui in the fourth hour, found a piece of reef, although hit on it, let Zhuang Rui arm suffered some injuries, but there is always a place to land.

This is a coral reef that has already died, exposed to the sea surface but more than two meters high, more than one square meter in size, Zhuang Rui can only sit on it, want to lie down can not do.

“What’s wrong? Why is the rescue team still not there?”

Zhuang Rui at this moment in his heart vaguely feel some wrong, the plane crash has been more than ten hours from now, during this period, not to mention the ship, Zhuang Rui is not even see a plane.

This phenomenon is very abnormal, with the development of the aviation industry, the Indian Ocean is also a very busy airway, how can there be no airplanes through it?

After waiting for another hour, Zhuang Rui began to long for rain, because in the sea body water evaporation is too powerful, Zhuang Rui now lick his lips with his tongue, can bring off a piece of skin stained with blood.

Compared to the mirage in the desert, facing the ocean without a mouthful of drinkable water, this situation is obviously more miserable, Zhuang Rui tried to drink two mouthfuls of seawater, but he was so uncomfortable that he almost even spit out the bitter bile.

Zhuang Rui swore that he would never overeat again, if those four bottles of water were saved, he would be able to support for two days, not like now, when he was at the end of his rope.

“No, if we stay like this, if we don’t die from the sun, we will die from thirst.”

Zhuang Rui stood up and looked around, he wanted to see if there were any islands around that he could solve the problem of drinking water.

“Hm? There are a lot of reefs here, huh?”

After quieting his mind, Zhuang Rui found that on the sea in front of him, there were many large and small reefs, the big ones could lie down people, the small ones were a little bit smaller than the one under his feet.

“Is that …… an island?”

The early morning fog had dispersed, and Zhuang Rui found that in the distant sea, the outline of an island appeared faintly.
