Mystery Island

After the dark clouds overhead dispersed, a thick fog arose unexpectedly.

"What a heavy fog, I can't see anything clearly!"

Jenny and Jack leaned over one side of the life raft, staring wide-eyed in an attempt to discover the situation Luo Jun had mentioned.

At this time, Li Shi was also very active, seeming to muster the last bit of strength from her delicate body.

Lorna was the same, with the hope before them, adrenaline and accumulated energy within each person was stimulated to the maximum at this moment.

At this time, the moonlight from the sky peeped out half a face like a voyeur.

This faint light shone on the pitch-black sea surface, reflecting the white crests of waves.

"What's that?"

Just then, it looked like Jenny discovered something.

Everyone looked in her direction, it was a dark floating object, about five meters away from the life raft.

The distance was not far, but it would take a long time for it to drift over.

"Row over!"

With an order from Luo Jun, everyone rowed the life raft together, and after a good while, they finally reached the dark floating object.

Jack was just about to reach out to fish it out, but Luo Jun hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't mess around, that's marsh seaweed, often home to many jellyfish. If you get stung, no one can save you."

Luo Jun's words frightened Jack into quickly withdrawing his hand.

"The seaweed drifted here from that direction, the island is probably northeast. We are at the end of the ocean current, we must row the life raft towards that direction!"

As Luo Jun spoke, the youth Jack eagerly volunteered and took up the plastic oars fixed to the edge of the life raft.

Luo Jun was on the other side, and the two desperately rowed together.

No one wanted to miss this last thread of hope for survival. The life raft moved very slowly, plus they were rowing against the current, so Luo Jun and Jack were very strenuous.

By now they were exerting the last bursts of energy in their bodies. If they couldn't find the island, everyone would die here!

The three women couldn't help row, and were anxious, only able to stare wide-eyed at their surroundings, to see if they could catch sight of the island's silhouette.

As the life raft moved, more and more seaweed and other debris appeared in their vision, with the objects drifting in the direction Luo Jun had deduced.

A raging fiery hope was ignited in everyone's hearts.

Their hands, which had long lost strength, seemed to be injected with chicken blood, moving again.

After rowing continuously for two hours, Jack finally couldn't take it. The three women took turns stepping up to row.

Everyone burned the last bits of fat in their bodies.

Finally, a large dark silhouette appeared up ahead, that large shadow stood out sharply against the solid backdrop of sea and sky!

"That's...an island!"

Li Shi shouted, and the half-dead Jack also raised his head to look towards the northeast.

"Ah... My God!"

Jack could no longer restrain himself and burst into loud sobs.

The three women were the same, joy and sorrow suppressed for days finally found cathartic release in tears.

"Don't stop, row quickly. What if another wave comes and tosses us hundreds of meters away, then we'd never make it back!" Ever calm, Luo Jun reminded everyone.

They roused their spirits once more, although they were already exhausted to the bone, like leaves trembling precariously in the wind. But before the hope of life, each one became warriors wrestling demons!

After another hour, a large stretch of golden light emerged from the eastern horizon!

And under the radiance of this golden light, the fog dispersed, and a gigantic island towered abruptly from the sea before their eyes, magnificent beyond compare.

"This island...is too enormous!"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded, only now discovering that the dark silhouette they'd seen last night spanned over a dozen kilometers!

And the island's peaks obstructed their view, so they had no idea if this was a long strip-like island or a truly massive one!

As they drew nearer and nearer, everyone could clearly see the large stretches of red mangrove swamps, reef flats, and the bay-like beach, the beach lined with coconut trees and lush island vegetation, the sight extremely thrilling for everyone.

But Luo Jun's eyes held only shock!

Because from his knowledge, it was impossible for such a huge island to exist here in the California Current!

He severely doubted that the scene before them was a hallucination brought about by severe dehydration or near-death condition!

Jenny, Jack and Li Shi were extremely excited, only the cute face of Lorna revealed the same immense shock as Luo Jun's.

Luo Jun noticed Lorna's expression. His own shock was understandable since he had calculated their position, but she didn't know these details.

Her shock made Luo Jun very puzzled, feeling she harbored some untold secrets!

When they had talked about the plane changing direction, she also wore that vague expression of hiding something from others.

The inner thoughts of politicians were truly unfathomable. Luo Jun now even seriously suspected she knew the truth behind the plane crash, but would not divulge it until her dying breath.

However, Luo Jun only kept this in mind for now. This wasn't the time to interrogate her, plus his daughter was still in her hands!

As they drew closer and closer, no one harbored doubts that this was a mirage. As soon as the life raft bumped into the shallow water zone, Jack and Jenny disregarded the icy chill of seawater and were first to jump in, rushing madly towards the beach, laughing crazily.

Upon reaching the beach, they paid no heed to anything, kneeling directly on the soft sand, gasping and laughing as they grabbed handful after handful of the wet sand left by the receding tide.

It seemed only this could make them feel that everything before their eyes was real.

Luo Jun and the two women also subsequently landed on the beach.

They sat on the sand, breathing heavily, similarly unable to conceal their elation.

Luo Jun and Lorna smiled at each other. Lorna actively threw her arms around Luo Jun, happily laughing in his embrace, the feeling of escaping death bringing them closer.

"I knew that you'd definitely get us out of this alive."

Luo Jun smiled wryly, only now taking off his green jacket to give Lorna to put on, when before these last few days he naturally didn't do so without seeing any hope of survival.

As a mercenary, his survival training taught him that he must ensure his own survival first in any situation.

"Just got lucky, also, this island is truly bizarre."

"At least we're still alive, right?"

Lorna hugged Luo Jun, chapped lips pressing into the crook of his neck, gently caressing.

Luo Jun laughed and stroked Lorna's golden hair.

At this moment, no matter the circumstances, still being alive was the greatest blessing.

Li Shi's strength wasn't much depleted. After resting a short while on the beach, she excitedly dragged her feeble body towards the top of the beach, picking up a coconut just past the reach of the tides. Happily holding up the coconut, she shouted!

"Coconut! Coconut!"

Li Shi shouted eagerly twice, then tried smashing the coconut on a rock, but her strength was still too meager, unable to crack it open at all.

Luo Jun walked over, took the coconut from her little hand.

With a powerful smash on the rock, the coconut immediately split open, sweet coconut water endlessly trickling out from inside.

Luo Jun sat on the ground drinking it. Li Shi pressed her face right over, stretching her tongue out as far as she could to capture more coconut water when drinking. At this time she gave no care that her delicate, beautiful face was pressed against Luo Jun's bristly cheek as they contested to drink the coconut water.

The two drank the coconut water, lips nearly touching, but neither felt anything inappropriate about it.

Wasting water was what would be truly inappropriate.

Lorna was also extremely thirsty. She also squeezed over, and the two women's tongues really were long, stretched out to capture large amounts of the coconut water.
