I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 183 The mysterious island

Lin Chen took great effort and finally emerged from the sea when the oxygen in his lungs was almost exhausted.

The waves on the sea were still very strong. Even though Lin Chen was wearing an orange life jacket, he still felt how insignificant humans were in front of nature.

The waves hit Lin Chen so hard that he could hardly breathe.
The most frustrating thing is that the waves throw you up high and then drop you down heavily. This roller coaster-like feeling is almost driving people crazy.

Even a "king of soldiers" as strong as Lin Chen was tortured to the point of wanting to die.

He was even vomiting while staggering, it was truly a life worse than death.

Lin Chen finally couldn't hold on any longer as he felt dizzy and swirling.
His vision went dark and he fainted.
-
It was unknown how long it had passed before Lin Chen woke up again.

It turned out to be a dolphin that jumped up beside him, and the splashing waves splashed all over Lin Chen's face, which successfully woke him up.

Who am I and where am I?
This is probably a common problem for all people who have been in a coma for a long time.

It took me a while to remember what happened before.

I looked around.
Fuck,

There was no one around, the weather was exceptionally clear, the sun was shining brightly, and there was no sign of a storm.

Looking at this scene, it is really confusing. Did this huge storm blow away everyone, leaving me alone?
What surprised Lin Chen the most was that the sea in front of him was actually crystal blue.

He clearly remembered that they were in the deep sea of ​​the Pacific Ocean, so the water was dark.
Could it be that I have reached the sea so quickly?

How can this be?

But now is not the time to think about these things. He has been exhausted after such a long time.

And there are already signs of dehydration.

Lin Chen had seen it in a book before.
indeed:
In the vast ocean, because the concentration of sea water is higher than that of one's own body fluids, when the stratum corneum of the skin is soaked and turns white, the human body fluids will flow back into the sea due to the osmotic pressure.

Over time, you will become more and more thirsty.

What's more, it was a scorching sun and his lips were obviously blistered.

It's really terrible to see sea water everywhere but not be able to drink it.

The waves stirred up the sea water and continuously wet his dry lips, which aroused his desire to drink water.

This is a test of willpower.
Some drifters on the sea cannot resist the temptation of the sea water and say to themselves, "It's okay, I'll just take a small sip, just a small sip."

However, I never thought that once I took the first sip, regardless of whether it tastes good or not, its high concentration will further increase the salt content in my body fluids and blood, making me even thirstier.

Eventually, he could no longer bear it and chose to quench his thirst with poison.

So Lin Chen resolutely refused to drink it, and he had to close his mouth to prevent sea water from seeping in, otherwise he would not be able to spit it out (saliva is also fresh water).

But this is not a solution. There is nothing around and no sign of any island.

If this goes on, it won't be long before I die of thirst or even starvation.

A yellow light has appeared on my personal information panel, reminding me that I am in a sub-healthy state.

The only thing Lin Chen can do now is to relax himself as much as possible, and then try to think of some beautiful things to distract himself.

It would be best if there was a passing ship that could come and rescue me.

"Chirp~"

"Chirp~"

Suddenly, Lin Chen opened his eyes and saw a big black bird flying over his head.

This bird is really big, as big as a wash basin.

At this moment, Lin Chen no longer had the intention to investigate whether this kind of bird hit the crashed plane. In his mind, this was food, fresh water, and hope for survival!

The black bird had already noticed Lin Chen lying motionless below, and began to circle in the sky. It might also be thinking,

Does this thing below taste good?

Lin Chen was extremely nervous because he couldn't fly.
If you want to catch this big bird for meat, your only chance of success is to wait for it to swoop down and then counterattack.

This is easier said than done, because these birds living in the Pacific Ocean have all experienced the trials and tribulations of nature and have intelligence and agility unmatched anywhere else.

The chances of counterattack are really slim.

And if it fails once, the bird will never risk attacking again. In nature, there are many animals that accept both life and death.

The blackbird circled for a long time, but saw no movement from its prey below.
Suddenly, it began to dive.

The entire body forms a spindle shape that is extremely aerodynamic.
It flew close to Lin Chen's head in the blink of an eye.

Not enough, too far, Lin Chen was not sure enough, he absolutely did not dare to move,
Sure enough, this guy is ridiculously smart.
At the last moment, he actually flapped his wings and flew up.

Is this a temptation?

Damn, that was a close call.

Is this guy so smart?

It's really fucking spiritual.

Lin Chen remembered a saying, "Don't release the eagle until you see the rabbit." If the black bird didn't get close enough to him, he would never attack.
This is very risky. If the other party has one of the real things in his fake moves, we will be doomed.

The blackbird dived three times and did it again the fourth time.

Perhaps it also felt that it was being too cautious, and that it was only occasionally feeling a hint of terrible threat from the humans below, so it became so timid?
No matter what, I am also a hunter in the sky, hehe, die!
But just as it thrust its sharp beak towards Lin Chen's neck,

Lin Chen's eyes finally opened to their limit.
This is a look of extreme desire for food, and Blackbird is very familiar with this look.

Oh no, we fell into a trap!
Instinctively sensing the great danger, it began to raise its head and flapped its wings as hard as it could, trying to gain lift and fly again.
Unexpectedly, this gave Lin Chen the opportunity to seize the opportunity.
He didn't care whether the black bird was a good hunter or not, he only knew that he needed to eat and drink!
It must be killed!
Lin Chen's hands stretched out like lightning, grabbed the black bird's claws in the blink of an eye, took a deep breath, and dragged it into the sea.

In the air, Lin Chen, who has no wings, has no way to deal with it, but once he brings it under the sea, he can teach it what "the advantage is mine" means in minutes!
After the black bird was dragged into the sea by Lin Chen, it flapped its wings hard.

Once these flying animals enter the water, they will panic.

This is similar to when humans first go into the water to learn to swim. They are scared out of their wits and want to grab something or put their feet on the ground, or even want to call for help.

As a result, a large amount of sea water poured in. Lin Chen held its claws tightly. Even though his body was scratched by it, he had to endure it.

He was running out of energy. If he lost this chance, he would surely die.

On the brink of life and death, everyone knows how to make a choice.

The black bird knew that it was now a matter of life and death. It tried desperately to get out of the sea, and its claws were kicking and beating desperately, but this only increased the consumption of oxygen.
Finally, as another large mouthful of sea water poured in, it began to gradually lose the strength to resist.

Lin Chen was actually already at the end of his strength at this time, and he was still holding on only by relying on his strong willpower.
He can't gamble, and can't afford to gamble.
If this black bird is pretending to be dead, then all our efforts will be in vain.

He couldn't hold on any longer and had to come out of the sea to breathe. This extreme feeling of suffocation was too terrible.

It's a pity that no one timed the breath-holding time this time, otherwise it would probably have broken the army's record.

When he completely recovered, he didn't care anymore and just bit the black bird's neck. He wanted to suck blood, replenish water, and stay alive!
The strong fishy smell made him want to vomit, but he held it back.

In such a place where water and food are extremely scarce, vomiting is simply a crime and all the blood must be swallowed.

After drinking for more than ten minutes, the poor unfortunate bird was completely drained by Lin Chen.

When the thirst crisis was resolved, he also regained a lot of strength, so he began to pluck hair in the sea, gnawing at it as he pulled, and he looked really horrible.

The taste of this bird eaten raw is actually quite bad.
When Lin Chen was a special forces soldier in his previous life, his instructor once taught him that when eating some food that is difficult to swallow, he must learn to deceive himself, telling himself that it is a delicacy, and then not chew it, but try to swallow it directly to reduce the time it takes for his taste buds to recognize it.

This simple and practical method has been with Lin Chen throughout his training in the army in his previous life, and he eventually grew into an outstanding special forces soldier.

Recalling the glorious past years!

After eating and drinking, Lin Chen began to think about the environment around him.

The appearance of birds means that there must be an island or land nearby, otherwise a single black bird like the one just now would be unlikely to fly across the ocean.

Birds are not very different from humans. If they need to fly long distances, they must fly in groups, just like geese flying south, so that they can take care of each other.

But where exactly is this island or land? And judging by the color of the water, it should be not far from here.

Now there are two possibilities.
One possibility is that the bird had just come out to hunt, and the direction it was flying from was land.

Another possibility is that the bird came out to hunt, so the direction it just flew back to is the land.

If you make a mistake here, you will completely lose the chance to survive.

Suddenly, Lin Chen thought of something. He used his hands to dig into the black bird's belly, pulled out its intestines, and examined them carefully.

"Haha, I'm such a genius!" Lin Chen couldn't help but revel in himself. There was obviously undigested food in the bird's stomach, which meant one thing.

It's a return trip!

So Lin Chen no longer hesitated, took the bird that he had not finished eating, and then began to swim slowly in the direction he had chosen.

Blue sky, white clouds, rippling blue waves,
This is the ideal place for many swimming enthusiasts.

But at this moment, Lin Chen became more and more nervous as he swam.

Because the sun had already risen from the edge to the middle, there was still no trace of land.

What's even more worrying is that the bird's body has actually started to stink.

Under high temperatures, this thing spoils too quickly.

If I had known this, I would have swallowed it all even if my stomach burst. But now...
Lin Chen saw some small fishes coming around him.
Suddenly, an idea struck me.
Just because you can't eat this doesn't mean fish won't eat it.

It would be a great idea if you could use it to make a trap and catch some fish to eat.

He quickly took off his pants, tied two knots at the bottom of his pants, threw the rest of the blackbird in, and waited quietly for the fish to get in.

After a while, many small fish really slipped in.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lin Chen quickly used a belt to close it.

Then use both hands to squeeze all the small fish in the trouser legs to death. When you open your trouser legs, there will be a pulpy fish soup inside.

This time Lin Chen didn’t act stupidly and ate a lot. Although the taste was hard to describe, was there a better way at the moment?

What surprised Lin Chen the most was that a palm-sized fish that he couldn't name actually got into it.

Lin Chen dug open its stomach and found rare fresh water inside.
In order to avoid being pickled by seawater and becoming "salted fish", marine fish have the ability to maintain a balanced salt concentration in their body fluids.

Freshwater fish keep the salt concentration in their bodies balanced by excreting excess fresh water through their kidneys;
In order to avoid dehydration caused by the seawater draining away body fluids, marine fish must drink large amounts of seawater to replenish water. The excess salt in the seawater is excreted through the kidneys in the form of highly concentrated salty urine.

Lin Chen also understood that this was not a long-term solution, and he still had to find land as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he stayed in the sea after dark, he would most likely die from hypothermia.

The sea temperature is very low at night.

He swam for a long time but still didn't see any land. He couldn't help feeling discouraged. Could it be that his judgment was wrong?
Swimming in the opposite direction?

But my physical strength is not enough to make changes.

Even if there was land behind him, he definitely couldn't swim across now.

You can only go down one path and if you are wrong, it will all be in vain.

However, he suddenly thought of a problem, that is, birds are flying after all, and their close distance may be more than ten nautical miles, but more than ten nautical miles is too far for Lin Chen who is swimming in the sea.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen could only seek help from all the gods and ghosts in the East and the West, hoping that he was not going in the wrong direction.
Believe firmly in your heart that the land is just ahead! Just ahead!
I don’t know how long I swam, it was almost dark, I was so tired that I began to question my life.

I had run out of food long ago, and now I was tired, hungry, and thirsty. I was about to collapse.

Looking around again, it was still endless blue.

Damn, where the hell is this land?

Wait, what is that?
Lin Chen was a little dumbfounded.
That black patch, what is that?
Is this not a tsunami?

Lin Chen was still a little frightened by what happened last time. If it was a tsunami again, he would definitely not have a chance to wake up in his current state.

He waited there for a while and found that it didn't move, nor did it get bigger or longer!
Great, this is definitely an island!
