Chapter 72: New Moon
We said for a while, and everyone's clothes were slowly dried by the bonfire, and my welfare moment came to an abrupt end. It was really a pity.
Seeing a few girls busy grilling food, I jumped back to the sea to collect the supplies floating on the sea.
Because the seaside has a strong shore current, a lot of supplies are brought back to the shore by the waves, which greatly reduces our losses.
Of course, there are still a lot of supplies that sank into the bottom of the sea...
After lunch on the beach, we returned to the cave in a mess in the afternoon.
Looking at the clear spring water in the cave and the seal skins placed beside the spring water, I couldn't help but feel depressed.
According to my original plan, I have now jumped into the underground river to pursue Eve's traces.
But now, this plan must be postponed, and I don’t know when it will be postponed.
When will I see Eve again?
Of course, I understand that I don’t have time to give me sentimentality now. After counting the remaining supplies in the cave, we couldn’t help but feel a little bit overwhelmed.
We have always used the lighter I carry with us to light all kinds of things. This thing from a civilized society has brought us great convenience.
But now I find that this lighter is going to be out of oil.
This thing has been so hot that it can't be lit several times. I guess it won't take long to die.
If there is no lighter, there is no way to make a fire.
I heard about drilling wood to make fire and other things since I was a child. But after trying it myself, I found that it didn’t work at all.
This thing sounds simple, but it actually has a high technical content.
Moreover, this method is too time-consuming. If you have to drill wood to make fire for one or two hours every day, it would be better to kill me.
For us, there is another simpler way, which is to use the existing fire source to preserve the fire.
During this period, because the weather was cold, our bonfires had almost never been extinguished. Even when we were sleeping, some people took turns to take care of adding firewood.
However, as the weather is gradually warming up, it is necessary for us to reduce the consumption of firewood, and the bonfire cannot be burning any longer.
This requires the preservation of the fire.
I remember a plant, porous bacteria, also known as ignition bacteria. After igniting them, sealing them with soil, it can burn slowly for several hours or even longer.
When I want to use fire, I can take them out and light the hay and the pile of firewood.
I think the island has such a wealth of animals and plants, maybe I can find something similar.
In the following days, I was hunting while searching for similar plants.
The blizzard has stopped for several days, the ice and snow have gradually melted, the stream has begun to rise, the animals and insects have slowly appeared, and the forest has gradually regained its vitality, and wherever it goes, it looks vibrant.
What made me even happier was that because of the melting of the ice and snow, some frozen animals' corpses were revealed.
Although some of them were discovered late and had rotten, they became delicious meals for crows and vultures, some of them were discovered early and were still fresh. I picked them up and had a good meal.
Our reserved food has been settled.
Anyway, we have been doing well these days.
Today, I used my homemade bamboo spear to stab a bamboo rat. I was in a good mood and quickly prepared to go back. But I never thought that I suddenly saw some ignition-induced bacteria in a place with lush water plants by the river!
I hurried over and picked a few flowers. I was just happy, but suddenly I noticed a subtle voice coming to my ears!
It was a woman talking and she was shouting for help!
And the sound is very close to me!
I looked up and looked around, and was surprised to find that in the grass not far below me, there was a woman covered in blood lying!
A piece of ragged animal skin covered the vital points, and the exposed backs were covered with dense scars. The scars looked very new and seemed to be caused by recent times.
There are bruises, whip marks, and even scalds!
Obviously, this woman seemed to be suffering.
There was a huge blood hole on her shoulder, and blood kept flowing out of it.
This woman is so weak that this wound should be the culprit.
Seeing the animal skin on this woman, I wondered if she was an indigenous person, but soon I thought that she was speaking just now, speaking Chinese, and it was very standard!
Could it be a person from our company, or even my friend?
I quickly walked over and turned her body over. When I saw her face, I breathed a sigh of relief, which was a face I didn't know.
But she should be our compatriots in yellow skin and dark eyes.
I don't know what the woman is named, but she has a tattoo in the shape of a crescent on her neck. I'm going to call her crescent for the time being.
It seems that Xinyue's condition is very bad. Her face is as white as paper. She has already fallen into a completely unconscious coma. She just called for help like me, but she was just some instinctive dreams.
I quickly treated her wound and started walking back with her on my back.
As I walked, I was thinking quickly.
Is this girl also a passenger on our cruise ship?
What happened to the blood hole in her shoulder?
It does not seem to be bitten by an animal, but it seems to be caused by some powerful weapon, such as an arrow shot!
This made me very alert. It seemed that there were really other people on this deserted island, and it was very unfriendly!
Is it an indigenous?
The scars on Xinyue's body were really shocking, and the blood hole on her shoulder was even more heartbreaking. I guess someone else should have aimed at her heart, but he just missed the shot.
This made me worry. In our camp, I was the only one who was still fighting. Sister Man could barely fight with others a few times, and the others were just the type who were so scared that they were afraid to move.
If we really encounter those bad people, I'm afraid there will be many dangers!
"Who is this girl, what's wrong with her?"
When Xiao Qing and the others were very surprised when they saw me carrying an injured woman, they all covered their mouths and almost cried.
This girl with a crescent tattoo has really suffered too much inhuman torture.
"Let's see if anyone knows you?"
Seeing a few girls coming to take care of her, I was silent for a moment and took the time to ask.
Xiao Meng wiped the girl's face. Xiao Qing stared at her for a while, then frowned and said, "It seems that she has seen her on a cruise ship, but it's been too long, and I'm not sure..."
