The sunset shines lightly, the wind is light and the waves are calm. On the blue sea, the stone sea pushed Tan Yun's lifebuoy quickly swam forward, and a string of white waves appeared behind him.

Although Han Long and Jin Sixi had tried their best, they still fell far behind.

"You take this and let's catch up later," Shi Dahai said, wrapping the rifle's lace up on Tan Yun's feet, pressing his hand on the lifebuoy and pushing it forward hard, then stepping on the water and waiting for Han and Jin.

"Ha puff," "Ha puff," "Ha puff," "Ha puff," "Ha puff,"

Three minutes later, Han Long and Jin Sixi rushed up with heavy arms, panting and resting on their backs beside Shi Dahai, as if they were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Two, it's okay," Shi Dahai asked with a smile. Years of hard training have given him super swimming ability. It was common for him to move through the water for such a few hours.

"Ho, huh, Brother Hai, how far have we traveled?" Jin Sixi asked, lying on his back on the water, panting.

Shi Dahai stepped on the water and tried hard to poke out half of his body. Looking southwest, he saw that the Golden Island was only the size of a palm. He exaggerated the results and comforted him: "I can't see the Golden Island anymore, I have swam at least 10 kilometers."

"What, I've just rushed such a little road, roar, roar," Han Long shouted in disappointment, "You see, it's almost dusk, we've been swimming for at least two or three hours,"

"It's fast enough, you think you're running on the shore," Shi Dahai said. "At the current speed, we can all win medals in the Olympics,"

"Hahaha," Jin Sixi smiled with difficulty, "If I don't die this time, I will definitely change my career to participate in the swimming competition."

Han Long didn't have the heart to joke, stared at Tan Yun in front of him, and said hatefully: "Damn, there are still 50 kilometers. It seems that I can't hold on to that shitty edge reef,"

"Okay, it's very exhausting to talk in the water. Just say less," Shi Dahai turned around and shook his arms and swam forward, shouting, "It's man, let's swim to the edge reef. Don't die halfway and let those brothers in the prison laugh at you for nothing,"

...

As the sun sets, the red sunset burns wildly in the sky, reflecting the red waters around Mu Island.

On the island, several stone houses with the words "demolition" painted on the walls stand alone in front of the coconut forest, quietly waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Along, can't you really find a suitable place?" Shi Baitang sat on a low bench in the stone house, bent his back and holding a cigarette pole, asking. The wrinkles on his face were as dense and deep as the cracks on the bark of a century-old tree. Since the Sansha Municipal Government conveyed the decision to develop Mu Island, he seemed to have grown old to the point when the oil was exhausted.

"I have basically found all the places I can find, but I really can't find the right one," Shi Long shook his head with a worried face. "It's too expensive to rent a house on the shore. It's too expensive to live in 7 or 8 people like a decent living, which costs at least three or four thousand yuan a month. If you rent it in the countryside, it will cost at least more than 1,000 yuan a month, and it's too far from the sea. If you don't talk about it every day, you won't have any place to raise the fish you catch."

Shi Qing coughed lightly, rubbed his eyes that were choked by the smoke, and asked desolately: "Have you ever looked for other islands to see if they could live in it?"

Shi Long said in embarrassment: "I searched for it, but there is no need to have too much hope. The islands with slightly better conditions are occupied by Vietnamese soldiers and Philippine troops. Most of the remaining ones are dark sand, which sinks when the tide rises and cannot live in any way."

"Oh, there is only half a month left," Shi Qing sighed heavily. "If the government comes to drive people away, where will we move?"

Shi Long said ruthlessly: "If they force us to death, we will have to fight with them."

"Nonsense," Shi Baitang blamed with his white beard, shaking his eyes widened, "We are all good people who are obedient and can't do anything to rebel," he said.

Shilong stretched his face and lowered his head without saying a word.

Shi Qing knocked his pipe and said, "Uncle, don't blame Aaron for being impulsive. Actually, I have thought about it. If the government officers and soldiers really come to drive people to demolish the house, we have to go out and fight with them so that even if we squat in the cell, we can have a place to settle down. Otherwise, the whole village would have to sleep on the road every day."

"Oh," Shi Baitang sighed and shouted desolately, "Officials are forcing the people to rebel,"

...

The last trace of clouds faded away in the sky, the sky became darker and darker, and the temperature of the sea water gradually dropped, slowly swallowing everyone's body temperature.

"Sixi, Han Long, everyone get closer and don't wander around in the evening," Shi Dahai turned around and shouted loudly to Jin Sixi and Han Long who were 100 meters behind him.

They have been paddling for about 4 hours in a row, and the speed is quite ideal. According to Shi Dahai's estimate, they are at least 13 kilometers away from Golden Island. However, he also noticed that Jin Sixi and Han Long had already shown signs of overdrawing prematurely. The frequency of paddling was getting lower and lower, the arm swing was getting smaller and smaller, the number of times they floated on their backs was getting more and more, and the time for rest was getting longer and longer.

Although Tan Yun has been paddling in the lifebuoy, the situation is not optimistic: because she has recovered from illness and is in poor physical condition, the paddling force seems very weak, and now Shi Dahai is almost pushing her forward.

Moreover, as the sea water temperature became lower and lower, her lips became more and more purple, and her poignant face was pale and could not see any blood, but she still clenched her teeth and waved her weak arms.

"Tan Yun, are you tired?" Shi Dahai reached out and patted Tan Yun's slightly shaking shoulder and asked softly.

Tan Yun stopped paddling, opened his mouth slightly, and barely squeezed out a stiff smile at him, and said in a trembling voice: "I feel so cold,"

Shi Dahai frowned.

The cold currents have come these days. During the day, the temperature on the sea surface is only about 5 to 6 degrees. At night, the temperature in the sea water will drop to 2 to 3 degrees. If there is no supply, it will be difficult for ordinary people to maintain normal operation.

"It's okay, Tan Yun," Shi Dahai comforted, "Just remember, you must keep paddling constantly, you must not stop, let alone sleep. As long as we are in the morning, we will be able to reach the supply point."

"Well," Tan Yun's wet hair was resting on his forehead, and the water dripping kept sliding from his face, and hesitantly asked, "Dahai, can you warm me up? I'm really cold,"

Shi Dahai looked at the lifebuoy between the two of them in embarrassment, and was about to speak, when Jin Sixi and Han Long caught up, the sound of gasping in their mouths was almost the same as the sound of paddling. Seeing the lifebuoy on Tan Yun's body, the two of them had fierce lights in their eyes, and each of them exerted force with their arms, and rushed forward without saying a word, and pressed on the lifebuoy like a hungry wolf pounced on the food.

"Ah, cough cough..." Tan Yun's face changed drastically. As soon as he screamed, the lifebuoy and the people and the lifebuoy were crushed to death by them. He could only slam the hands and cough violently while being choked.

Shi Dahai was anxious, and he grabbed one with his arms and one hand, pulled Jin Sixi and Han Long to both sides, shouting: "You are crazy, drowned her, how can you find the edge reef?"

As the pressure eased, the lifebuoy brought Tan Yunfu out. After Tan Yun coughed violently, he threw his arms away with red eyes and wanted to hide.

But I didn’t know that Jin Sixi and Han Long didn’t care about any supplies at all, and they had a thought in their minds: first save their life in front of me.

They struggled in the water, and broke free from Shi Dahai's hands, but still stubbornly stubbornly trying to pounce on the lifebuoy with red eyes.

"I, fuck, you two are calm,,,,,,," Shi Dahai roared and tried hard to hold the two of them, preventing them from approaching Tan Yun. Unexpectedly, Jin Sixi, like a mad dog, turned around and opened her mouth and bit Shi Dahai's hand. Shi Dahai let go helplessly, and he rushed over and put on the lifebuoy, leaning on him, almost pressing the weight of his body, making Tan Yun scream in fear.

When Han Long saw this, he struggled and shouted: "What kind of shit do you want to use to fool people on the edge of the reef? I just need a lifebuoy. Sixi, kill the woman. Let's share a lifebuoy."

When Jin Sixi heard this, a strong murderous aura immediately appeared in his eyes. He stared at Tan Yun tightly, as if he was considering what method to kill Tan Yun more than a bento.

Shi Dahai was anxious and shouted loudly: "Okay, take the lifebuoy and give me Tan Yun,"

Jin Sixi and Han Long were stunned and turned to look at Shi Dahai without saying a word.

Tan Yunze grabbed the lifebuoy tightly in shock and looked at Shi Dahai like help.

"Brother Hai, you're not kidding," Han Long asked in confusion with a look of shock, "Don't you want to survive?"

Shi Dahai swam over to protect Tan Yun, and said to Han with a cold face. Jin and the other two, "If you kill her to grab a lifebuoy, you will quench your thirst." After that, he hugged Tan Yun hard, took the lifebuoy out of her body, threw it to the side, and said lightly, "You use it, it's enough for you to blush when you reach the edge reef."

Then he said to Tan Yun in his arms: "Look on my back, don't let go,"

Tan Yun smiled miserably, with tears in his eyes and said, "Dahai, stop worrying about me, you go," he said, "After saying that, he pressed his hands on Shi Dahai's chest and pushed them hard, trying to break away from his arms.

Shi Dahai's hand gently pinched Tan Yun's body under the water and said seriously: "If you don't lead the way, how can we find the supply point? If you want to die, you also need to help us find the supply point and die."

After saying that, he took his back hand and pressed Tan Yun's body against his back, shouted "Hold on" and threw his strong arms out loud, swam forward quickly and smoothly.
