Chapter 14: The Tree Moves the Wind
Maybe it was I who hit the fat man and the thin man to attract everyone's attention, and everyone quickly stopped and looked at me.
"One for each person. I said.
The people on our side looked at me in astonishment, I waved my hand, and then said to the ten people in front of me: "Since you don't listen to the command, you can figure out your own way in the future, there are just ten coconuts in front of you, one for each of you, don't follow us in the future." β
The people who were still happily stepping forward to take the coconut were all dumbfounded at this time, but a few faceless people took the coconut directly and went to the side to find a way to open it.
The rest of the people came to me one after another, begging bitterly: "Don't leave us alone, we are all grasshoppers on a rope." β
"I'm sorry, everyone wants to live, but you only care about yourself, and our team doesn't need such people. I turned and walked towards the other coconut tree.
As soon as I left, they grabbed it again, and I didn't expect to see me fight over a coconut.
I really don't agree with such people, who can guarantee that they will not even rob me of my share one day.
The stone axe and the fire axe were in our hands, and together we quickly brought down a coconut tree.
I took out a dagger and pressed it against a coconut, found a stone, and quickly cracked the coconut open.
But instead of enjoying it myself, I handed it to a woman with cracked lips.
Liu Yue and Ling Han also followed my example and began to smash coconuts, and it didn't take much effort for half of us to drink coconut water.
Look at those people again, smashing coconuts, smashing coconuts, grabbing coconuts, and now there is no one who drinks coconut water.
We have all drunk coconut water and started to think of ways to eat coconut meat, but only one of us broke the coconut.
However, he held a big rock and smashed it, and the whole coconut was broken in half, and only a third of it reached his mouth.
I saw that he immediately threw away half of the coconut in his hand and joined the team to snatch the coconut, and the ugliness of human nature was vividly displayed at this moment.
We had eaten and drunk enough, and one of us was about to cut down a coconut tree with a stone axe, and I hurried forward to stop it.
"We can bring some back with us. "It was the black brother who first joined us.
Naturally, Liu Yue translated this for me.
"No, there are only ten of us now, and it is not only those who are still robbing it now, but also those on the ship. I said.
"Now we need to hurry back and repair the fortifications, it won't be long before it gets dark. I continued.
The crowd agreed with me, and quickly put the coconut meat in our mouths, and we got up and hurried back.
The people who were still scrambling saw us leaving, and only then did they realize that the monster was going to come out in the dark, and they didn't rob it, and one of them hugged a coconut and began to smash it.
The people on the boat were still watching, but they were always a little tempted to see us come back with a ruddy complexion.
"Did you find something to eat?" asked Ma Gongzi first.
"What's the matter with you?" I replied.
"I'll pay for it. Ma Gongzi said.
"Do you think money is still useful on this island?" I asked.
After saying that, I left the stunned crowd and took our men directly to start repairing the fortifications.
The group of people who remained on the ship hurried over to help us in order to curry favor with us, and the ten people who were still outside stumbled back until we repaired the fortifications.
Everyone had more or less wounds on their faces, but fortunately no one was killed, and all of them came back.
After a tiring day, I did not stand still, but fortunately, I replenished my strength, and when I returned to my room, I sat on the floor and rested against the wall.
"Get some sleep. Ling Han said.
"No, it's getting dark soon, and I have to keep watch. I said.
"I'll keep it for you. Liu Yue said.
"Yes, we are guarding, you rest, you haven't slept for several nights in a row, and your body can't bear it if you go on like this. Ling Han said.
"Yes, and you're still so tired during the day, you sleep, we'll keep watch. Liu Yue said.
"It's not a way to go on like this, everyone doesn't have a good rest. I muttered.
"It's good to come down, and I'll talk about it later, you can go to sleep. Ling Han said.
"Okay, then I'll work hard for you tonight. I said as I got into my sleeping bag on the floor.
"You sleep on the bed, how do you sleep on the ground. Ling Han said.
"It's okay, you two take turns to guard, you also need to rest, I'll just sleep on the ground. After I finished speaking, I didn't care if they agreed or not, I just turned over and fell asleep.
"I'll keep it first, you're also quite tired today, you can rest first. Ling Han said.
"Well, I'll sleep for two hours, and you'll call me then. Liu Yue said.
In fact, I am willing to take care of them, not because they are beautiful in life, but mainly because they are not selfish.
Soon I fell into a deep sleep, expecting to sleep until dawn, but I was woken up by the roar of the monster.
I got up sleepily, and it was Liu Yue who was sitting by the door, and Ling Han was also awakened, and this time he was slowly sitting up.
Now that they woke up, the three of them simply didn't sleep, and sat on the ground with their backs to the door and side by side.
I don't know if they deliberately let me sit in the middle, this place is already cramped, the two of them are next to me, I can't even think about monsters.
"They shouldn't be able to get in, right?" asked Liu Yue in a low voice.
"Surely you can't get in, didn't you come in yesterday? Ling Han said.
"Now I'm not worried about whether they'll get in. I whispered.
"Then what are you worried about?" asked Liu Yue.
"I'm worried about how long this place will last, andβ" I said silently.
"What else?" Ling Han asked.
"And how long will it take for humanity to be extinguished," I whispered.
When this topic was mentioned, the two of them naturally knew what I was going to say, and at the same time they were silent and silent.
"We need to find a new hiding place as soon as possible. I said.
"Okay, we'll go out as soon as it's dawn. Ling Han said.
"I'm a little worried about the coconut palms. Liu Yue said.
"It's okay, they don't have the tools, they can't handle it. I said with a smile.
The three of them chatted in a whisper, and the monster really didn't break through our defenses, and before we knew it, it was already dawn, and we grabbed our weapons and went out.
The remaining seven were already waiting in the cabin, and we moved our defenses and ran towards the woods, yes, I was going to build a ladder.
We picked three tall and straight trees and cut them down, not to mention that these trees are only arm-thick, but the hardness is good, and it takes a lot of work to cut them.
We cut down the tree, but the people in the cabin did not appear, so we took the wood and ran to the coconut grove.
Tie the ladder with a rope, and two people help one person to climb up, this time picking coconuts is much easier.
As we each shared a coconut, and before we could eat it, we saw a group of people walking towards us.
I took a look at the number of people, and it seemed that all of them were dispatched, including the ten people who had been with us.
A group of people walked straight towards us, knowing that they were here for the coconut, but fortunately we had weapons in our hands, and everyone hurriedly stood up and watched them in waiting.
"How can you have such a good thing to yourself? You are too inhuman. Ma Gongzi bore the brunt and said.
"It's you who want to stay on board, no wonder anyone else. I said.
"Yo, the scholar is the big brother, with a few people, you don't know that the sky is thick?" Ma Gongzi said.
"What do you want?" I asked, not to be outdone.
"Hand over the coconut. Ma Gongzi said.
Do you really think this is in his house? This is spoiled?
"If you say I'll hand it over, if you have the ability to do it yourself, don't use our ladder. I said.
Originally, I didn't want to be so impersonal, but it was really hard for me to sympathize with these people in front of me.
"Hahaha," the group laughed out loud.
I didn't know why, so I tightened the fire axe in my hand, and the three people holding the stone axe behind me also stood beside me.
But the next scene is something I didn't expect.
I saw Ma Gongzi slowly take out a pistol from behind him, and the muzzle of the gun was facing me.
