Chapter 13: Finding a Way Out
Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and soon the first stone axe on Liu Yue's side had been completed, and Liu Yue took it in his hand and chopped it a few times towards the wood, never thinking that the stone axe was quite sharp.
Now everyone has confidence in their hearts, as long as there are tools, we still have hope, but the creation of this stone axe is quite laborious, and the success rate is not high.
I succeeded in the morning, and the burden of cutting down the tree still fell on my shoulders.
Although I was tired, I didn't dare to hand over the fire axe in my hand to others, to be honest, I couldn't trust these people.
If it weren't for the fact that we had been working on the farm since childhood, and we still had surplus food to satisfy our hunger, such a large amount of physical labor would have been a bit unbearable.
Some of the people who followed us were already exhausted, and I was considering whether to conserve them.
Looking at the people on the deck, I didn't feel angry, we seemed to be doing this just for our group.
The time for work always passed quickly, and it was getting dark, but fortunately we were well defended at both entrances and exits.
Everyone has already taken refuge in the room, and now it's up to us to see if our fortifications can withstand the monsters.
It was dark, the familiar howls rang out, and I could hear movement from the deck.
Now I have become bolder, I stand directly in the glass window and watch, and I can even see that there are people in the opposite room.
This was simply not possible in the first two days, and the movement on the deck was getting louder and louder, and I knew that meant more and more monsters.
However, we have not seen the monster appear in the cabin for a long time, except for the occasional noise from the fortifications we have designed.
Then came the roar of the monster, and I don't know if it was my delusion, but I could actually hear the anger hidden in the roar.
I leaned back in the chair by the door and dozed off, I didn't close my eyes for a day and a night, and I was really tired after a day of physical work.
A roar woke me from my sleep, and I quickly got up and looked into the cabin, but there was no sign of the monster.
The roar sounded again, and I remember it as a signal for the monster to retreat, and this night, we were victorious.
This time I didn't dare to rush out right away, and it wasn't until the dawn entered the cabin that I couldn't wait to open the door.
The fortifications at the entrance to the cabin were somewhat damaged, but they managed to keep the monsters out.
What excites me the most is that I see the slightest trace of blood on the sharpened wooden stick, which must be a monster.
The same red blood flowed, which showed that this monster was not invincible, and I couldn't wait to move my defenses and take a look outside.
A few people from yesterday also joined my team, and the people who had been watching the excitement were already in the cabin at this moment.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of Enron's excess, but I didn't dare to cheer loudly, I knew that the danger was not over.
The success of the first attempt attracted a few more people to join, and our team was successfully expanded to twenty people, and the remaining fifteen people still stood on the deck.
But now I don't have the energy to care about those people, although the three of us have food, but these people don't.
Even if we resist the monster attack again, we will have to starve to death, and the food and water for so many people has now become the biggest problem.
"Everybody come and assemble. I said to the people.
When the people arrived, I continued: "Now our biggest problem is food and water, we don't know the situation in the woods, and it is dangerous to enter rashly, now the men go to the sea to fish, and the women search the shore to see if there is any fruit to eat." β
After arranging everyone's work, I naturally brought up the fire axe to cut down the tree, Liu Yue still made stone axes here, and a foreign girl also joined Liu Yue's team.
The morning passed, and we now had three stone axes, and the work of cutting down trees was basically enough.
Now it's time for food and water, but unfortunately this morning, the fishing team has nothing to gain.
I sat a little decadently on the shore, looking at the reef in the distance, now waiting for the food caravers, and if they found nothing, it seemed that I would have to venture into the jungle.
Just when everyone was a little anxious from the scorching sun overhead, the food search team finally returned, but I hurriedly stood up when I looked at the two people running in the distance.
There were eight people sent out, and now only two have returned, is there something wrong?
"What's wrong? what's going on? what about the others?" I asked anxiously.
"There's... Yes... Yesβ" said one of them panting.
"Monsters?" asked one of our side.
When he said this, everyone almost ran away, and I quickly stopped everyone's movements.
"You say slowly, what's there?" I asked.
"There are coconuts. The man said breathlessly.
"Great, where is it, take us there. I said.
When everyone heard the news, they were also very excited, and they were all gearing up, and they couldn't be excited.
"Thirsty," the visitor said, looking at me.
I hurriedly untied my kettle and handed it to the two of them.
"Hurry up, I'll drink it later." A man behind him said.
"yes, it's too late later. Another said.
I turned around and looked, I didn't say anything, but I remembered the appearance of these two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.
I ignored the two people urging me, but whispered softly to the two women in front of me, "Drink slowly, take us over when you're rested." β
When the fat man and the thin man saw me say this, they didn't say anything more, but they just paced back and forth, and you could see that they were very agitated.
Fortunately, the two people in front of me were not the kind of people who were pretentious, and after drinking the water, they said to me, "It's over there." β
As he spoke, he walked forward, and a group of people hurriedly followed, and several people even ran forward on their own.
Liu Yue and Ling Han followed behind me without hurry, and I didn't care about those who ran forward, the most important thing now was to conserve their strength.
We don't know how tall the coconut tree is, it's still a question of whether we can climb it, and if I can't, I'll have to cut it down, so I have to conserve my strength now.
If these people rob again, I must at least be able to protect myself and the two women around me.
After walking for almost an hour, we finally arrived at our destination, which was actually visible from the deck, but we didn't remember to come and see.
It's just that the deck looks like it's just blocked by a boulder, and you can't see these coconut trees at all, and now the problem is how to get the coconuts on the trees.
A few hungry people hurriedly climbed up the tree, and I stood under the tree more than five meters high, and I did not rush to move.
It would be nice to have a ladder, but at the moment we don't have time to make a ladder, but it's not just a coconut tree, it's like a coconut grove, and if we have a good reason, we won't starve to death for a while.
A few people who climbed the tree fell not lightly, but fortunately there was a beach below, otherwise they would have died for the coconut.
I picked a tree with more coconuts and swung the axe directly, and the people who climbed the tree stopped moving, and the three people with stone axes also began to cut down the tree.
This coconut tree is surprisingly hard, and every time I cut it, my arms are numb, but I don't dare to stop when I look at the crowd in front of me.
Finally, when I was sweating like rain, the first coconut tree fell, and before I could speak, the crowd had already swarmed up.
Ignoring the people around him, several people even began to push, and some of them even began to move, so that before the coconut could be obtained, several people fell to the ground.
There were even three women who rushed forward, and there were only ten people who didn't come forward to rob them, that is, the ten people who had joined us for a long time.
I know that now they are all hungry and thirsty, and it is useless for me to say anything, but Liu Yue can't hold her breath.
"Don't rob, don't rob, this is what Qingyang cut down. Liu Yue said while pulling the crowd.
"Give Lao Tzu a dead side. One person pushed Liu Yue to the ground.
Isn't it the fat man who was frizzy before, seeing that the thin man was going to add fuel to the fire, I rushed straight up in anger and kicked the thin man to the ground with one kick.
Then he gave the fat man another kick, and the two of them lay on all fours on the ground, and the anger in their eyes flashed when they caught a glimpse of the axe in my hand.
Actually, it's not that I'm good, it's just that they're all hungry and can't stand still.
"Don't rob it. I shouted.
