Chapter 2663 Survival Island
Scarface hid behind a big tree with its waist, holding its breath and waiting for the best time to shoot. Not far away, a strong deer was looking up under the old tree. Did you look up? The animal, a deer, is very alert and flexible. Whenever there is a storm, it will alarm it, and then slipped away without a trace. Scarface poked out half of its head again. Seeing the deer lowered its head and eating, thinking that the time has come, raised his hand and aimed, and a "bang" gunshot, alarmed a group of birds flying out of the forest. Looking closely, the deer fell in a pool of blood and twitched constantly. Scarface walked over happily and picked up the deer's back foot and took a bundle of rattling rats, hung it on one end of the sniper rifle and carried it on his shoulder, and walked back with a meteor.
After Liu Xin finished the sign of help, it was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon. The fire-like sun was hanging in the air, making Liu Xin sweat profusely. As soon as she returned to the camp, she smelled the scent of barbecue. When she walked into the camp quickly, she saw Chunhua and Tang Qiu and others busy. The deer meat was roasted by the fire, and the inside was tender and greasy. When everyone saw Liu Xin coming back, they nodded enthusiastically and said, "Scar, has the one-eyed dragon not returned yet?"
Scar face narrowed his eyes, smashed his lips and said, "Not yet, I guess I'm coming back soon. This kid is very smart and nothing will happen."
After saying that, Scarface continued to close his eyes and nap. Liu Xin nodded, then walked to the shade of the tree and unloaded the sniper rifle next to her, leaning against the tree trunk, staring at the distant coastline in a daze. Liu Xin suddenly had an unknown premonition.
At this moment, a one-eyed Longzi shouted happily not far away: "It's found...it's found! I've found Tamsui, hahaha..."
When everyone heard the good news, they cheered and even Scarface sat up and smiled foolishly. For them, finding Tamsui would mean living. Liu Xin walked to the one-eyed dragon and asked, "Did you find water? Where?"
The one-eyed dragon pointed behind him and said proudly: "Flipping over the small valley behind, there is a freshwater lake. I looked at it and it was full of groundwater. There were so many wild animals that could be enough for us to eat and drink for a month."
After hearing this, Liu Xin nodded calmly and asked everyone to have lunch first. After eating, she moved the temporary camp to the vicinity of Tamsui Lake.
After lunch, Liu Xin ran to the beach alone, and made a conspicuous sign on it. After finishing it, he returned to the temporary camp. The others had already packed up their tents and other utensils, and waited for Liu Xin to come back to go to Tamsui Lake together. The group of people climbed over the small valley with great enthusiasm against the scorching sun, and walked for more than an hour to reach Tamsui Lake. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
A winding stream flows out of the lake and slowly flows to the small mountain stream on the other side. I see that the lake water is clear and blue, the shore is green and the grass is green, the surrounding trees are lush, and there are many birds and small beasts drinking water and foraging on the other side. They are not shocked when they see people, and they are like coming to a fairyland on earth.
However, Liu Xin always felt that this scene was a bit weird. He couldn't tell what the specific monster was. A few women could no longer control the joy and excitement in their hearts. They shouted and rushed into the lake while drinking water while washing their bodies. Liu Xin was about to speak and call them back, but it was too late. In an instant, a group of huge crocodiles spread out from the clear lake water, biting the four women playing in the water at the speed of thunder and dragging them into the bottom of the water. This scene happened suddenly and quickly. Before Liu Xin and others could shoot, the women had been torn to pieces by the crocodile under the water. The bright red blood water soaked half of the lake surface, and the birds and beasts on the other side were fleeing everywhere by the bloody scene.
Everyone was also frightened by the sudden attack of the crocodile and quickly retreated five or six meters away. Most of the women were sad about losing their companions and hugging their heads and crying. Liu Xin felt something was wrong at first. Now she knew the reason. It turned out that the birds and beasts were very alert when drinking and looking for food on the lakeshore. They were careful not to penetrate deep into the water because they were all afraid of the crocodile in the water.
The one-eyed dragon said in surprise: "Damn it, it turns out that there are such a fierce crocodile in this lake. Fortunately, I didn't go into the water at that time, otherwise I wouldn't even have bones left."
Liu Xin said coldly: "If we want to survive on this tasshui lake with peace of mind, we must first get rid of these crocodiles."
The one-eyed dragon followed and said, "I just made a brief estimate that there should be seven or eight large crocodiles in this lake."
"I'm afraid that he can have a ball. As long as they dare to swim out of the water, I will smash their heads with one shot," Scarface roared in a rough voice.
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "Scar, don't be so impulsive. I have my own way to deal with these crocodiles. You and One-Eyed will fight a little wild boar first."
The others were stunned after hearing this. What did they do when they got a little wild boar? Scarface and the one-eyed dragon also looked at Liu Xin with suspicion, not knowing what he was selling in the gourd.
Liu Xin ignored everyone's strange eyes and walked straight to a big tree, took out a small high-explosive bomb from the ring and fiddled with it. Then he found the remote control to check if there was any fault. Soon, Scarface and One-Eyed Dragon came back with a small wild boar of about 70 or 80 kilograms. There was a bullet hole on the boar's neck dripping blood.
Liu Xin jumped out of the dagger and opened a small hole in the wild boar's belly, carefully stuffed the bomb in, and then ordered Scarface and One-eyed Dragon to lift the wild boar. The two of them threw the wild boar into the lake with force. Shortly after the dead wild boar fell into the water, a group of crocodiles immediately attracted a group of crocodiles to compete for food. Just as the crocodiles gathered together and opened their mouths, Liu Xin suddenly pressed the button of the bomb remote control, and a loud "bang" sound that shocked everyone quickly covered their ears. A group of crocodiles were instantly blown and flesh flew across, stirring up two or three meters high water splashes. The birds and beasts nearby were already scared and fleeing everywhere.
After the explosion, the originally clear lake water was dyed a faint red color. The crocodile corpses and fragments were floating on the lake surface, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Several women could no longer help but vomit "wow" not far away. Liu Xin sniffed, and the two with scars and one-eyed eyes jumped into the water with their upper body shirtless and cleared the crocodile corpses.
The three of them worked hard for more than an hour to clean up all the crocodile bodies in the lake. After the matter was done, the Scarfaced and the others went ashore first, while Liu Xin dived into the water alone, swimming flexibly like a fish. After a circle, she confirmed that there were no other large beasts in the lake, Liu Xin went ashore, changed into clean clothes, carried weapons and equipment, and led everyone to the valley next to her. The threat in the Tamsui Lake had been eliminated, so we should hurry up and find a safe and suitable place to camp.
The jungle in the valley is denser, and the forest is full of towering trees. The lush canopy blocks most of the sunlight, causing the jungle to be cool and comfortable and dim. Fortunately, the soil on the ground is hard, and the piles of dead branches and rotten leaves are not very thick, so the road is easy to walk.
After about half an hour of travel, Liu Xin and others finally walked out of the dense jungle. The eyes suddenly became clear. Looking around, there were bare cliffs and large stones of different shapes. Liu Xin saw a cave at the foot of the cliff from a distance. He led the group to see that the entrance of the cave was as big as a car. The cave was also shallow, but it was spacious inside, enough to accommodate more than twenty people. The most basic thing was to shelter from the wind and rain, which was much better than resting in the open air.
In the evening, all the outfits and utensils were placed and settled, several tents, pots and pans for cooking, beds made of hay, and other miscellaneous items. Although they were extremely simple and not as good as those of primitive tribes, they were already very good in this isolated island called "Tianwang" and "Dawuwei", and it was already very good.
After nightfall that day, several men carried some big rocks to block the entrance of the cave and took some simple warning measures to prevent wild animals from attacking in the middle of the night. Everyone slept very comfortably that night.
The next morning, Liu Xin and four other men went out together to hunt and fetch water near the Danshui Lake. Under the current time conditions, they first stocked up some food and fresh water in case of emergency needs.
After returning to the cave after hunting at noon, Liu Xin and others gathered together to discuss how to build a ship and leave the deserted island. He took out all the tools he could use from the ring and placed them one by one in front of the other three people. Everyone carefully checked and found that there were basically all tools to use for shipbuilding, and other things could be replaced by none. On this deserted island with scarce supplies, it was not easy to build a large ship that could carry more than a dozen people in the most primitive way, because Liu Xin and others were not professional shipbuilders. Even if they built a large ship, they could not guarantee that they could sail safely in the unpredictable sea. The four of them lowered their heads and pondered without saying a word.
At this time, the woman named Xiuying came over with four bowls of mutton soup, "Brothers, let's eat something first. Only after filling your stomach can you come up with a good solution."
Liu Xin took the mutton soup for a night and said thank you lightly. Then he looked at the mutton in the bowl and was stunned. The three of them were already hungry and put on their chests and put on their backs. They swallowed them voraciously. Suddenly, Liu Xin's mind flashed with inspiration. She put down the bowl in her hand and said calmly: "I thought of a solution, which may be useful."
Tang Qiu looked up and drank the mutton soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "What's the solution? Let's listen."
Liu Xin drank the soup slowly, "You know the sheepskin raft. We can add some leather rafts to the hull, so that the buoyancy of the boat can be greatly increased. As long as you spend more time and energy to make the boat stronger, I think it will be fine even if you encounter small winds and small waves."
One-eyed dragon said: "Yes, you can also apply some resin with strong stickiness to the hull, which will be more reliable."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "In the current situation, we can only cross the river by feeling the stones. We have to try any method, and we cannot sit still and wait for death."
Then the few people gathered together to draw up a general plan, and then finalized some details. Before they knew it, the afternoon passed by. After dinner, Liu Xin and One-eyed Long followed the bonfire and drew a sketch of the shipbuilding, and then returned to their respective beds to rest.
The next morning, it was just a little brighter, and Liu Xin woke up the other three sleeping people and walked into the forest of the previous temporary camp with logging tools, because it was closest to the shallows, and it was easier to drag it into the sea after the ship was built.
