Chapter 256: A Turning Point
"Li, it's been a few days, why hasn't a ship passed around here yet!"
Emily placed the pile of wet branches on the campfire, and the smoke rose into the sky, and her delicate little face had a few more pieces of black ash. Although there is a rainforest on the island, there is really not much dry firewood, perhaps because of the humid air, the plants on the island are wet, and these days because of the frequent ignition, a total of four Zippo lighters have used up the oil in one of them.
Li Haoyu looked at the vast sea and said with a wry smile: "How do I know that there is no boat passing by in the road?" Maybe it's because the routes around here are relatively remote, so there are fewer boats passing by. He asked Xiaoyu in his heart: "Xiaoyu, how long will it take to connect to the outside world?" I've been eating bananas every day for the past few days, and I'm tired of eating them! ”
Xiao Yu spread his hands and said: "Although I already know that it is the astatine element stone that fills this island with a magnetic field, and all signals are blocked by this magnetic field, but I really can't find a good way to make the magnetic field of these astatine element stones disappear for a while." My dear master, why don't you dig a deep pit and bury all these stones in the ground and see if it works?" ”
"Xiaoyu, now I don't have any tools except a knife, you told me to dig a hole by hand? More than 100,000 stones on this island will be buried in the ground, and before the work is finished, I will collapse first! Li Haoyu muttered dissatisfiedly, in the past few days, he and Emily have finished walking this small island, and found five or six more ponds, and there will be twenty or thirty thousand of these astatine elemental stones on the edge of each pond.
Xiaoyu rarely didn't talk back, and said with a bitter face: "Then I really have no choice, why don't we try to sit on that tree and stay away from this island?" After Li Haoyu and Emily went to the island, they pushed the tree that saved their lives into the shallows, and it is now not far from Li Haoyu.
Li Haoyu's eyes lit up, and he patted his thigh and said, "That's right, maybe we can receive the signal if we are a little farther away from this island!" ”
Emily asked regretfully, "Lee, what are you talking about?" ”
Li Haoyu smiled embarrassedly, he was too excited to say it just now, his mind turned sharply, and he said, "Emily, I'll sit on that tree and stay away from this island to see if I can contact the outside world." He raised his left hand and touched the Patek Philippe watch that the Super Game Editor had transformed, "I only remember now, this watch has a miniature GPS satellite positioning device inside, but there seems to be some magnetic field on this island that blocks the signal, and it can't be connected to the outside at all." As long as the location is successful, the rescuers will be able to know that we are still alive and will soon find our coordinates. ”
Emily took Li Haoyu's left hand, looked at this Patek Philippe watch in a loud voice, and wondered: "Li, when did this Patek Philippe watch also have GPS?" ”
Li Haoyu coughed a few times, and then remembered that Emily grew up in a rich family, and Patek Philippe watches should not have been seen uncommonly, so he hurriedly lied: "This watch of mine is custom-made, I deliberately added GPS function and diving-grade waterproof function, and it cost me more than 200,000 US dollars." ”
Emily didn't say anything more, a watch like Patek Philippe, which is the top ten watches in the world, can be customized according to personal preferences, and asked, "Li, why didn't you use this positioning system when you were on the sea a few days ago?" ”
Li Haoyu scratched his head and said: "I forgot about this at the time, I have been wearing this watch for more than a year, and I have never used this kind of device, I just remembered it." ”
"Li, then let's stay away from this island immediately and see if we can contact the outside world!" Emily has been bored for the past few days, and began to wander around the island with great interest, but then saw that there were no trees in the rainforest, so she didn't have any interest, and she didn't bother to go to the rainforest this day lately.
"Don't worry, Emily still need to fill these empty mineral water bottles with water, and put a little more banana on the tree, after all, we don't know how far away from this island we need to find the signal again."
Li Haoyu looked up at the sky, "It's not too early today, let's go to sea early tomorrow morning, let's prepare today." ”
"Oh." Emily was a little relieved to hear that she couldn't communicate with the outside world right away today.
Li Haoyu's heart is also very looking forward to being able to contact the outside world as soon as possible, he doesn't know what will happen to his family and the mythical group because of his disappearance, just sharpen the knife and not chop the wood, and it is good to make more preparations.
After Li Haoyu used a Damascus knife to bring down a few banana trees, he hung more than a dozen bunches of bananas on the tree in the shallows, and then shaved off the excess branches on the tree, leaving only a few of the thickest branches.
After all this was done, it was dark, and it was very slow to get dark in this tropical region, and it was completely dark at about eight o'clock in the evening.
On the first day he came to the island, Li Haoyu cut a lot of soft grass and spread it in the windy place, which was used as a bed. Because it is so dark here at night that you can't see your fingers, Emily sleeps next to Li Haoyu, and it is too cold at night to warm each other.
"Li, you said that we left this island far away this time, what if we encounter any wind and can't come back?"
In the dark night, Li Haoyu could only barely feel Emily's body temperature except for hearing her voice, and he said with a smile: "Emily, don't think nonsense, the last time we were so far away from this island, we could paddle it over, not to mention that this time our physical strength has recovered a lot?" ”
Emily turned sideways and curled up in a ball, "I just said in case, did you say that something would happen?" ”
Although Li Haoyu couldn't see Emily, he could feel the hot breath she spit out when she spoke, and said: "Don't be afraid in case, we have bananas and fresh water in the trees, how can we hold on for several days, these few days should be enough for us to meet other ships." ”
"Li, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I feel a little scared in my heart."
"Okay Emily, don't scare yourself, you're just scared, don't be afraid, there's me." Li Haoyu comforted.
In this kind of dark night, Li Haoyu and Emily kept chatting to dispel the fear in their hearts, and they didn't go to sleep until they were too sleepy.
A murky sound sounded, Li Haoyu and Emily felt a sudden heavy rain in the sky at the same time, and the two of them reacted a little slower, and their whole bodies were drenched at that time.
"Damn, why is it raining!" Li Haoyu picked up Emily and ran over to the place he remembered, and finally found a dense tree under it, although the crown of the tree dropped a few drops of rain from time to time, but it was much better than being drenched in the rain just now.
Li Haoyu secretly complained in his heart, no matter how much there are two or three square kilometers on this island, but there is no hole that can accommodate people to rest, so the two of them have to sleep in the wild, and when it rains, they will become soup chickens.
"Lee, I'm so cold!" Emily's voice trembled.
Li Haoyu also felt that he couldn't stand the cold, and his whole body had goosebumps because of the cold, but the two of them now have nothing to keep out the cold except for a thin set of clothes, not to mention that the clothes were soaked by the rain at this time?
When she was thinking of a way, Emily went directly into Li Haoyu's arms and said tremblingly: "Li, let's just keep warm......"
Li Haoyu felt Emily's petite body trembling in his arms, and a burst of softness swelled in his heart, and he stretched out his hands to hug Emily tighter, but he simply didn't want to use each other's body temperature to resist the cold.
It was not easy to get through this night, Li Haoyu woke up in a daze, at this time the sky was already bright, and gently pushed Emily who was still lying in his arms and said, "Emily, wake up, we are going to sea after eating something." ”
Emily didn't move, a painful moan came out of her mouth, Li Haoyu felt a little bad in his heart, and hurriedly helped Emily to raise her head, and his heart suddenly sank when he saw it. Emily's eyes were closed, her cheeks were flushed, and she was unconsciously saying something, Li Haoyu reached out and touched her forehead, her forehead was so hot, seeing that this symptom must be a high fever, and the degree is not low.
"Xiaoyu, if you have a high fever, is there any way to reduce the fever without medicine?" Li Haoyu himself was only half-tone about this, so he asked Xiaoyu's opinion.
Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, as if he was reading the information in the database, and said: "Generally, high fever can be used by means of cold compresses, place the patient in a ventilated place, and then put a wet and cold towel on the forehead, wrist, and calf, and the rest of the body should be covered with clothing. When the cold compress reaches body temperature, it should be changed once and repeated until the fever subsides. If the high fever persists, then you can wipe the patient's body with a wet towel to dissipate heat. My dear master, in your present situation, there are only two ways to try. ”
Li Haoyu hurriedly said: "Xiaoyu, where are the towels here?" ”
"My dear master, the woolen sweater you wear can be used as a substitute for a towel." Xiaoyu reminded.
Li Haoyu then remembered that he was wearing a woolen sweater in his shirt, he immediately unbuttoned his clothes and took off the woolen sweater, cut it into several pieces with a fruit knife, soaked it with fresh water from a mineral water bottle and applied it to Emily's forehead and wrists, and then wiped Emily's cheeks with the remaining cloth soaked in water.
After being busy for a while, Li Haoyu tested the temperature of Emily's forehead with his hand again, and found that it was finally not so hot. He breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't leave the island today, although he very much wanted his relatives, friends and subordinates of the Mythical Group to know the news that he was not dead, but seeing that Emily was so sick, he couldn't bear to leave her to go to sea alone, and no matter how he wanted to make Emily's condition stable.
