Chapter 57: Building a Bamboo Raft and Going to the Sea

Eve, indeed, is not an ordinary person.

But at the same time, after reading this letter, my inner confusion became greater and my pain became stronger.

What exactly is there on this island?

The islanders who were worthy of World War II, Eve's father, and Eve, all went on and went to find each other desperately?

Eve didn't tell me about this, did she not want me to be involved, or did she not know about it?

However, it is obvious that the secrets on this island are indeed far from reaching the level that ordinary people can touch. A deep sense of powerlessness arose in my heart, a kind of sadness of a small person.

Do you really have to ignore Eve?

Perhaps what Eve said is right, and my reason tells me that I should forget her, return to a peaceful urban life, and quietly wait for the day she returns.

But my feelings and the deep sense of responsibility, I don’t think so.

In the difficult struggles of countless nights, I made another brave choice that seemed stupid but had a clear conscience.

I plan to build a bamboo raft, send Xiao Qing and the others to sea, and let them leave here.

And myself, I continued to stay on this isolated island, jumped down the damn spring, and advanced along the turbulent current, chasing Eve's traces, just as she was chasing her father.

Nowadays, I am already different from ordinary urban young people. I have blood on my hands. I believe that I will definitely help Eve!

And at this time, I may not have noticed it yet. For some reason, the secret on this deserted island seemed to have a huge attraction to me. Deep in my body and mind, there seemed to be something that was ready to move, like some kind of inescapable fate...

After making such a choice, my heart seemed to have a big rock falling to the ground, and the pain was hidden deep by me, and I once again rejuvenated with vitality and passion.

In the following days, I began to devote myself to the construction of bamboo rafts.

Because we took back the supplies from the past and obtained the savings from Sun Hu and others as a supplement, we can now say that we are rich and have no shortage of food.

This greatly liberates our labor force.

After everyone's discussion, our specific goals and plans were completely released.

First, what we are going to build is a large bamboo raft that can accommodate ten passengers.

Of course, this large size is only relative, and may not be as good as the small boats in the city. But for us, this is indeed a big project that cannot be underestimated.

We pick linen and rub ropes, we chop bamboo, chop firewood, and feed dogs.

Days pass by day.

About seven or eight days later, a bamboo raft with a newly developed scale appeared in the open space outside our cave.

It is actually not difficult to build a bamboo raft.

But we cannot be sure whether this bamboo raft can go out to sea. What if it cannot float, what if it disperses shortly after going out to sea?

This is a closed island, with many species of animals and plants different from the outside world. Who knows whether the bamboo rafts made of bamboo here can float?

Even if you can, can you continue to float after so many people and many essential supplies?

These are all problems.

For everyone's safety considerations, all this still needs to be tested.

On a sunny day, we were talking and laughing and pushing the bamboo raft to the beach.

What is surprising is that the bamboo raft has been drifting, but unfortunately, the weight it can carry is not enough.

This makes us difficult, but there is an old saying that as long as our thoughts do not fall into decline, there are always more ways than difficulties.

Soon, I came up with a way to find some hollow plants, like gourds, tied to bamboo rafts.

The hollow area inside this thing is large and has strong buoyancy, which can definitely increase the load capacity of the bamboo raft!

However, we did not find the gourd, but after searching hard, we found a hollow vine. After wrapping these vines around the bamboo raft, our Noah's Ark was finally completely completed!

It was raining on this day, but our mood seemed to be shining brightly. Everyone was shouting on the beach, so excited that they were even crying.

We have experienced so many hardships on this deserted island, and now it is finally time to leave!

Everyone was as happy as a child.

Xiao Qing actually hugged Qin Ke, a woman she didn't deal with.

"I'm going back finally, I want to have coffee, I want to go to fashion week, I also have crayfish, and French meals!"

Xiao Qing said with her fingers, and while she said, she was so greedy that she was drooling. She looked like a fool.

This silly girl deserves her name!

I really want to take a photo of her like this, it can be a joke to her for the rest of her life.

Sister Man and Xiao Meng also held my hand and hugged me and hugged me.

Seeing that everyone was so excited that they were going crazy, I couldn't bear it, but I waved my hand at them and told them something not very good.

"Everyone hears me that although bamboo rafts have been built, it is probably not enough to go immediately. I have been building rafts these days, and I have been observing the coast and the tides. I found a problem. The coast has a strong shore current. If there is no suitable wind direction, it may be a bit difficult for us to leave. Of course, the wind direction here will change, and it will probably only take a few days."

The so-called shore current is the undercurrent that keeps flowing towards the shore. If we do not have the help of wind, it is very difficult to flow against the island.

"Xiao Zhang is right. It really needs to wait a few more days, but we have been on this broken island for so long, and it's not a few days apart!"

Sister Man also returned to her calmness.

Among the girls, she is the most mature and calmest.

Everyone nodded regretfully, but still couldn't hide their excitement and chattered about what they would do after they went back.

I was also sincerely happy for the girls, but there was still an inexplicable melancholy rising in my heart.

Everyone is leaving.

And I still need to continue struggling on this strange island.

In the next few days, everyone is actively preparing for going to sea.

Every night, we would discuss around the bonfire with great enthusiasm about what kind of accidents would happen on the sea and what supplies we needed to prepare.

This period of time can be said to be the time when everyone is most motivated, and everyone is in a very happy mood.

Hope is indeed the most exciting thing.

Time passes little by little, and gradually, for us, leaving the deserted island, everything is ready, and only the east wind is insufficient.

But what we never expected was that we did not wait for the east wind we had always dreamed of.

A desperate cold wave suddenly came, and a terrifying blizzard covered our sky...
