Chapter 61

Lorraine is back.

She rescued Haina, crossed the fog area, swam across the sea ten kilometers or even wider, overcome the difficulties that only angels or demons can overcome in the hearts of sailors, and appeared in front of everyone unharmed.

Before jumping off the sea, he was a president, an employer, a supervisor and a captain. He was a young but skillful marine man who could frighten people.

After his return, he became a hero, a legend and a leader.

Believers of God believe in Holy Trinity, and sailors who believe in God use Holy Trinity to understand life on the sea.

Their ship is the father, the sailor on board is the son, and the captain is the only spirit on board.

Holy Trinity is the only true God of different positions, Trinity. Although ships, sailors and captains do not have sanctity, they also have the same Trinity.

A strong captain is a strong ship, and a strong ship is a strong sailor.

Every sailor of the butterfly felt proud to have such a powerful spirit.

They... Will be invincible!

Lorraine didn't expect this adventure to bring him such great glory. He was worried about the morale on the ship because of the broken ship, isolated island and death

Now it seems that he doesn't need to worry.

He quickly gathered his sailors together. On the deck, Lorraine looked strangely at acharin, whose head was wrapped into a mummy, with gentle white ears.

"I said... Tease the cat with gold coins. You really have small white ears and good temper?"

The completely changed white ears yawned lazily, and the milk fierce tiger teeth showed up and glittered in the sun.

Acharin trembled and piled up grievances with bandages on his face: "Captain, I am the heir painstakingly cultivated by the Desai family! I am a noble and elite! Do you think I would be so stupid to tease the cat with gold coins?"

Lorraine's face was even more strange: "didn't you say that yourself? How lazy do you think white ears are? When Hannah caught the mouse in front of it, it didn't bother to scratch. For no reason, how could it remember to scratch you?"

"Er... That's what I find strange." acharin scratched the bandage in embarrassment. "I clearly remember that I insisted on feeding the cat with pistol, but intellectually, why should I feed the cat?"

"Can't figure it out?"

"I can't figure it out."

"Then I don't want to."

"Ah?"

Lorraine cleared his throat: "gentlemen and ladies, from the volcano in the middle of this island, we can basically conclude that this is what John nasbert called Heba. He did not deceive the world. There are black rabbits as big as mountains on this island, which has brought trouble to us. Since the black rabbits are real, what about the wizard?"

Little pierce stared in horror: "the wizard who likes to send gold coins to sailors? Left Mr. nasbert on the island and never appeared in the world again?"

"To be exact, the first one is described by nasbert, and the second one is conjectured by boring people." Lorraine Zaba said, "we think that wizards exist and gold coins exist. Nasbert met these at least a hundred years ago."

Karen frowned, "Captain, our top priority is not exploration, but survival."

"I know, dear Karen. The current situation is that our ship is broken, food and water can't last for three days, and there may be wizards somewhere on the island. Even if there are no wizards, we don't know anything about the island, and we don't even know how to get out."

Lorraine broke things off one by one and soon decided on the next plan.

In order to give full play to its combat effectiveness, 120 sailors were deployed on the butterfly. There were no deaths or serious injuries in the sea battle with the reindeer, only seven minor injuries and no obstacles to action.

Therefore, they still have 120 manpower. On the one hand, they are fully staffed, on the other hand, they are under great logistical pressure.

Karen's top priority was divided into three parts by Lorraine: repairing ships, collecting food, looking for water, exploring islands and eliminating potential safety hazards.

Seafarers and sailors should perform their respective duties in accordance with this goal.

In the logging group, Karen will lead 40 sailors to repair the ship. They need to use pulley blocks to put the boat down on the beach, collect enough wood, block the holes and apply glue paint.

In the logistics group, acharin will command 40 sailors to fish and hunt, collect all the food that can be collected, and collect some clean water as much as possible.

Pierce and Noah had to command 20 sailors to make the fish dry, treat other food into easy to preserve types, and boil all the water for storage.

In the exploration group, Lorraine and Haina will take 20 sailors deep into the island. The core task is to find fresh water sources. The second is to find out what the wizard means and clean up the future troubles for the butterfly.

Under Lorraine's authority, the assignment of the three groups was quickly settled.

The strongest followed Karen, the skilled followed acharin, the smartest followed Lorraine and henna, and the rest followed pierce and Noah.

After a night's rest, Lorraine's people gathered behind him.

Their task is to find a suitable fresh water source in Heba. Therefore, he is ready to enter the jungle.

Searching for fresh water on a desert island is a basic lesson for seafarers. The first thing to establish is the judgment of islands and reefs.

In the general concept, both islands and reefs are surrounded by water, but the elevation of the island is higher than the rising tide level, and the elevation of the reef is lower than the rising tide level. In other words, small land that will never sink can be called islands, while those that will sink underwater at high tide are called reefs.

Sailors have a simpler way to determine the reef, that is, vegetation.

Sea water is not suitable for shrub growth. Heba can have large forests and will certainly not soak in the sea from time to time, so it is a real island.

It is important for people at sea to establish this concept.

Because above the ocean, only islands have sufficient conditions to store fresh water, and reefs do not have fresh water in most cases.

After determining the possibility of water search, the next step is to find water purposefully.

Most of the fresh water on the island comes from rainfall accumulation, and the distribution of water sources has its own characteristics.

Firstly, there is often water on the windward side of the island. Secondly, the rocky cave is isolated from the sea water, and it is easy to retain fresh water on the terrain.

This means that Lorraine and his expedition team must venture deep into the strange jungle.

He thought a lot about it.

Last night, compared with the astrology, he determined that hebrazil island was at a relatively high latitude, roughly between 50 and 52 degrees north latitude.

Generally speaking, there are few swarms of toxic and epidemic flies and mosquitoes in the jungle of this latitude.

However, there are two active volcanoes in the center of the island, and there are almost closed fog walls around the sea. This special terrain makes the temperature of hebrazil island very high, hot and muggy.

This is a tropical jungle at high latitudes, perhaps even more dangerous.

Swarms of flies and insects, poisonous spiders, poisonous bees flying everywhere, poisonous snakes hiding in the grass... Any of them can easily kill sailors.

For the sake of safety, Lorraine asked every sailor to put on a cold proof jacket, tie the cuffs and boots with a string, pull on the hood, and even cover his face with a sailor's scarf like Haina, revealing only his eyes and hands, and apply ointment.

Then there are machetes, torches, ropes, long wooden strips, small compass and sight glass, and other ready-made equipment on board. We must be perfect and not missing.

Until everything was ready, Lorraine took a deep breath and cut down the Bush in front of him.

"Let's go and explore."
