Chapter 6
The boys tried to push the roof of the box, and the girls sat on the floor of the box, holding the boys' bodies. When the box began to roll, the girls hung on the boys' backs to make room for the box by overturning. Soon the box flipped over, and the boys were at the bottom with their faces on the floor of the box, and the girls were on top. The girls moved quickly. A little away from the young men, moments passed until they were able to arrange their bodies inside the box well, then Clark and Mark untied the ropes that were tied to their bodies, then pushed the lid to get out of the box
Golden sand was scattered around them, from all sides except only one side, which was the direction of the ocean water. Everyone looked around, their bodies shivering from the cold due to their wet clothes. For a few moments, Clark .shouted
Look over there, isn't that the sailor who was on "?" top of the box
They all looked at the place that Clark was pointing to as he ran to it and everyone followed him. Clark turned the sailor's body to try to wake him up, but he found that the sailor was dead. Everyone sat there thinking, where are they? Is there anyone nearby who can help them? There was silence for a few minutes, but Elizabeth broke that silence and said
Now we have to change our wet clothes, then “?” bury this man, but how will we dig the sand
Clark said, "Search in the bags on your backs for clothes. This is my bag. I will break part of the wooden box and dig in it. Then we will search ." for anyone on this island
Antoine got up and said
.” Wait, I will help you“
The girls started taking out their clothes and then looking around until they found, not far away, tall trees encircling the beach as if they were embracing it or hiding something behind:them. Tina massaged her head and said
?” Where have you seen that view before“
Alex said, “I think we heard the description of those trees, but I don’t remember where I saw them.” the description
Mary answered as she took her glasses out of the bag and put them on
I think I know where we heard the description, “.” and damn it if it’s true
.It's in Grandpa's diary," Elizabeth said"
Mary said, “It could be a similarity in description. Look, there is no trace of snow and the atmosphere is somewhat autumnal. The tree .” leaves tend to turn yellow
You can see the color of the leaves from here,” “said Tania
The girls laughed at Tanya's comment and then moved toward the trees. After half an hour, the girls usually had some fresh fruit in their hands. The boys had buried the man and finished and also changed their clothes. Then they put the wet .clothes on the wooden box to dry, Alice said
Let's eat and then walk around the place. It "."l ooks like heaven
said Raymond, who had spread one of the maps on the ground
I ate from inside the box. Mark, have you seen “.”that paper before? I found it inside the map
Mark picked up the paper, looked at it, and then said
No, and I don’t understand what was written in “it. It is not in English or even any of the three .”languages that I learned
Antoine grabbed the paper and said, “It is in Arabic.” Antoine swallowed a piece of apple .while looking in amazement at the paper
?"Raymond said, "What's wrong with her
Antoine said, "Notes of an aquatic biologist and those with him who were unlucky and who fell victim to that cursed island. To those who fall here after us. You must take these steps until you can escape from it. You can move during the day according to the maps inside the island. Be careful during the day only. You must collect more." As much food and wood as possible in the shortest possible time. Be careful not to go too deep into the island. Always make sure to stay in the middle of a circle of fire all night. Do not listen to any sound during the night. Beware of deceiving Satan. If you leave the circle, be sure that you are his next meal. Note inside each... A place on the map. You will find warnings and illustrations of how to deal with the place. You will also find information about the history of another person still alive among us. If you are saved, work to warn sailors not to approach .Anaconda Island
Raymond looked at Antoine, then at Mark, and then ran through his hair with his fingers. Clark laughed as he gathered the ropes, tied them and .said
Calm down everyone, I don’t think we are on “.”the same island they are talking about
Mary said as she sat and ate a bunch of grapes, “Rather, we are on the island of the anaconda. It is a huge and long snake whose length sometimes reaches three to twelve meters in length. It feeds on animal meat and does not attack humans unless it senses danger. It considers them a source of danger too, but there is a Legend about a type of these snakes called the hybrid anaconda, which is a clone of several types of snakes. Not only that but it is said that they put human genes inside their gardens. It is a creature that feeds on sucking humans, their blood, then dissolving the skin and flesh with burning saliva, but it does not melt the bone on the surface. Although he can do this, in general, .”these are just myths
Alice grabbed Tenya's arm and said, "Mary, stop joking. This is not the time for you to be so moody about the fake legends you used to tell us ."in the past
Elizabeth said, “Really, no one listens to her. She .”always loves to read fantasy stories
Mary said, “I told you more than once, that there are ancient archaeological books, not imaginary stories. Some of them are real and some are mythical, made to scare some people because they do not exist in a specific land that belongs to the leaders of islands or countries, or even great priests of their time, and for that snake’s uncle there are inscriptions of him in One of the archaeological areas in Egypt, India, or even Libya, or the discussions of the American Indians about the circularity of fire, who are the indigenous inhabitants of the two continents of .”America
Everyone was silent and began to look at each other anxiously, wondering whether they should follow the instructions on the paper and maps or try to search. Is this the same island or are they on another island? Mark shouted, interrupting .the silence that lasted for minutes
We don’t have time before sunset to be sure “where we are? Why don’t we take precautions ?”and separate to collect wood before sunset
Everyone agreed to divide themselves into three groups: three people wandering around looking for wood, three people searching for any evidence to know if there are other humans on the island, and two people waiting on the beach next to the luggage and trying to make a tent from the wood of the box that Clark dismantled so that they could take shelter from the evening air. Mark, Raymond, and Mary set off to check on the island, Antoine, Albus, and Tina
set off to collect wood, and Clark and Elizabeth .remain on the beach
