Volume 2: Urban Legend Chapter 98: Desert Island: Division of Labor
On the edge of the lake on the island, almost all the challengers chose to camp here, and the team was divided into two, and the bastards brought enough water and food to start setting up their tents without thinking about anything else.
The challengers of the survival team invariably chose Mr. Fire, after all, fire can make fresh water, cook ingredients, and withstand wind and cold, and in this situation, the priority is indeed the highest.
However, although there is a consensus on the priority of starting a fire, it is not so easy to start a fire, even if there are tools such as flint and lighter, there must be enough combustibles and dry firewood, if there is a companion, it is fine, after all, the division of labor can be divided, but all the challengers are responsible for all the steps such as collecting wood, stacking the fire pit, and officially lighting the fire, and any mistake in any of them can cause a significant delay in the progress.
What's more, there are a few challengers who are very confident in making fire, and then they don't even bring fire tools, they directly grab a handful of leaves and two branches, sharpen the branches, and start to follow the video of drilling wood for fire found on the Internet, and put it into practice, but half an hour has passed, and Mars Zi has not seen any of it, but the white and tender palms are blistered.
On Zhao Feng's side, under the command of Zhuge Mingyue, he was specially responsible for picking up dry stones and dry firewood, and on the open space more than 20 meters away from Neihu, the bottom of the fire pit was tiled with pebble-sized dry stones, and then surrounded by slightly larger dry stones around the fire pit, and a one-meter diameter bonfire pit was built in a short time.
"Split the firewood, make sure it's dry inside, and then let's build the firewood in a mouth shape, like this, it doesn't need to be very high, five or six centimeters, and I'll leave the rest." Zhuge Mingyue commanded, while taking the dry firewood split by Zhao Feng, then set up a firewood pile in the stone pit, and grabbed a handful of dried leaves she had just collected and threw them into the center of the pile.
Zhuge Mingyue took out another knot and skillfully unwrapped it, the knot wrapped in a small plastic sphere, the size of a ping pong ball, can be broken, there is a lighter stick, a fishing hook, a fishing line, a small bag of bait, a metal scraper and three clusters of velvet, including the knot after untying has also become a rope more than one meter long, which can be used to do many things.
"Fortunately, you bought this kind of velvet, the land on this island is very humid, there is almost no turf that can be used as a fire starter, although dead leaves can also be used, but it is inevitable to waste some more energy, lay a layer of dry stones on the ground in advance, separate the fire from the wet ground, and better protect the source of fire. After Zhuge Mingyue explained a little, he threw a ball of velvet onto the dry leaves, and then squatted down and scraped on the lighter with a scraper.
Hmmm——!
A small spark fell on the velvet, a small orange flame emerged, Zhuge Mingyue hurriedly grabbed a few dry leaves to start the fire, after a while, the fire rose, the pile of leaves quickly burned in the firewood, the warm fire reflected on the faces of the two, Zhao Feng felt inexplicable emotion in his heart, and in Zhuge Mingyue's view, this fire was only the first step, and it was also a key step!
Zhao Feng was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly added dry firewood to the fire, until the fire gradually stabilized, and the mouth-shaped fire collapsed, turning into a reddish charcoal, which continuously provided combustion power for the bonfire......
"Our starting point starts here, and then all survival activities will revolve around this fire, and the protection of the fire source is the top priority, you see over there! At the junction of the inner lake and the open sea, there will be a sea breeze constantly rushing in, there are trees on the opposite side, and there is a cliff on the right, even if there is wind, it will pass from above, and the dwellings we build should be as far away as possible from the junction outlet. ”
"Next, I have to be fortunate that you will find a trunk that is thick enough, about six or seven meters long, and I will collect branches and branches, and when the time comes, the main trunk will be placed diagonally on the dwarf tree on the right hand, which can form a triangular slope of the roof, as long as a few branches are tied on the inclined plane, and then paved with branches with leaves, you can shelter from the wind and rain!" Zhuge Mingyue showed Zhao Feng on the edge of the dwarf tree, and the other challengers, the fastest progress had just set up the fire pit, and even the firewood and leaves had not been collected.
"You've already made a fire? ”
Liu Muzi appeared with seven children at this time, and while filming the fire pit with DV, he continued: "As the first team to successfully make a fire, it should be a plus. ”
At this time, the other challengers also noticed the fire here, and when they saw that it was Zhuge Mingyue's fire, they applauded.
"Alright, keep up the good work, I'm going to check on the progress of the others, little ones, patrolling. Liu Muzi said, take the child to harm the other challengers......
"Although we have the upper hand, we still can't relax, you look over there. Zhuge Mingyue motioned to Zhao Feng to look at the opposite shore, and on the edge of the inner lake, a middle-aged man was calmly holding a fishing rod and fishing.
"That person is the deputy director of the operation department of the head office, Yin Tongren, is my college classmate, was called a financial giant by many professors in the Department of Finance, with his IQ, will not be unclear about the importance of the fire source, since he chose to take the lead in solving the food problem, it means that he has absolute confidence in the fire source, this kind of person will take out what hole cards are not surprising, if you continue to immerse yourself in the short-term advantage, you will soon be overtaken. Zhuge Mingyue said with a solemn expression, obviously jealous of this Yin Tongren.
Zhao Feng silently remembered Yin Tongren with a sense of blood, this is his recent habit, and he found that his "memory" of blood was stronger than remembering his face.
"Then I'll go find the trunk. Zhao Feng got up and was about to set off.
"Wait a minute!"
Zhuge Mingyue stopped Zhao Feng, and after thinking about it for a while, she revised the original plan: "The current time is ten forty-one, and we have breakfast at half past seven...... The low temperature on the island will cause the body to lose calories quickly, and it is estimated that you will soon feel a noticeable sense of hunger, and if you spend energy to carry the trunk in this situation, you will be defeated by hunger before the thing is done, and sure enough, you have to solve the problem of food first. ”
"After all, we've never had food on this island, so we can't be sure how long it will take to get food for the first time, and waiting until we're hungry to hunt for food will be less efficient because of hunger and less confident in the challenge of survival. ”
Zhao Feng nodded, anyway, he is not a decision-maker, he will do whatever the boss says.
Counting the fishing gear that comes with the lighter set, Zhao Feng's group actually has two sets of fishing tools, and before going to the island, Liu Muzi had already said that there were no wild animals on the island, so the only food sources available were sea fishing and wild fruits.
However, the fishing gear of the lighter set only has a fishing hook, bait, and fishing line, but no fishing rod, so Zhao Feng can only find a fairly tough branch and wrap it around the branch with a fishing line to make a simple fishing rod, but whether he can catch a fish depends on the will of God.
"Why don't I go to the woods and look for any wild fruits that I can eat?" Zhao Feng suggested tentatively, he felt that it was enough for one person to look at two fishing rods.
"Well, it's true that both of them are here because of the surplus of labor, so please!" Zhuge Mingyue nodded and took Zhao Feng's simple fishing rod with a smile.
As soon as Zhao Feng walked into the nearby woods, a figure walked out of the shadows.
"Your name is Zhao Feng, how about I make a deal with you?"
Comer, Marquis Lu Feng.
