【Chapter 220】Leave the Dangerous Island

This is a gamble that costs his life, and it is also a difficult choice for Wang Xiaotie. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He must choose whether to stay on the island or leave the island, which hides a great crisis.

Stay here, if it really erupts after seven days, then Wang Xiaotie's bones will be gone, and he will be turned to ashes by the hot magma.

Leaving the island is not an easy task. First of all, you have to build a raft that can go to the ocean, you have to find a way to avoid the prying eyes of sharks on the bottom of the sea, and finally you have to get to the island to the north. If any of these three conditions fails, Wang Xiaotie's life will be lost.

In the end, Wang Xiaotie decided that he had to leave the dangerous island as soon as possible. He trusts his instincts and judgment.

Making such a decision, then Wang Xiaotie's focus will have to change immediately, finding water sources will become less important, at least he will have a coconut to replenish water, and from now on, he must race against time to make a raft, and the sooner the better.

The most important thing in making a raft is wood. Especially the kind of raft that needs to sail far away or even go to the sea like Wang Xiaotie, its materials are even more picky!

First of all, the wood should be clear, and it should be strong. After all, it has to carry the weight of a person, as well as essential survival materials. The second is that the buoyancy of this wood should be good, and it is the most ideal material to float completely on the water, and it will be safer and more comfortable for people to sit on it.

There are a lot of dry wood on this island, but this kind of wood buoyancy is not so good. Wang Xiaotie put one of them in the sea and found that only half of it could float completely on the surface of the sea.

However, Wang Xiaotie found something good that could increase buoyancy.

On the seashore where waste was everywhere, Wang Xiaotie found a lot of large round fish floats and fishing nets. These are all good materials for Wang Xiaotie to make rafts.

The silk thread of the fishing net is strong, and it is perfect for tying up a raft. Fish floats can be placed around rafts, and their buoyancy is not comparable to wood!

Now Wang Xiaotie has to think about the sharks in the sea, which is also the thing that gives him the most headache.

The raft must be strong enough, not only to take into account the wind and waves of the sea, but most importantly to prevent shark attacks.

Sharks do not normally jump out of the ocean to bite humans, but they can hit the raft from the bottom of the sea in an attempt to make the person on the raft fall into the sea.

Not all animals on the planet are as stupid as pigs. Many animals do not have low IQs. Take sharks as an example, although they belong to the overlords of the sea in groups, they often adopt a camouflage and sneak attack strategy when they hunt.

Humans are not on the menu for sharks, but this naturally aggressive fish is also very aggressive in its way of insisting on its prey, which is to bite with its teeth. The vast majority of bites are based on an exploratory nature, and shark bites may be to find out what humans really are.

Carnivores like sharks have their own fixed recipes in the sea, and because there are very few humans in the sea, sharks have never met one in their lifetimes, so in the long run, they not only do not know that humans can eat them, but sometimes they are very afraid of humans and think that humans are very strange. There are now records of sharks scared to death by staring, which also shows that sharks are very timid, and all sharks approach humans out of sheer curiosity.

In fact, more people in the world are eaten by sharks each year than they are killed by pet dogs. And those sharks eat people only because they have no hands and can only sense humans by "biting", and this is enough to kill people. But sharks usually release after just one bite, because in their eyes, human flesh is not tasty, and of course, they are only sensitive. Sometimes sharks attack humans because they think humans are a threat to their lives, and they need a lot of courage to attack humans.

Of course, Wang Xiaotie didn't want to greet this group of fierce neighbors now, so the raft he wanted to make had to be stronger.

To Wang Xiaotie's disappointment, he didn't find bamboo on the entire island, and hollow bamboo is the top material for making rafts!

Before making a raft, two logs should be placed horizontally on the seashore so that the raft made on the shore can be easily pushed into the water.

Wang Xiaotie's design concept is not much different from the traditional raft, but in order to be more solid and stable, the raft area should not be too large.

However, the raft was small and unstable, so he could only extend "two wings" from the main part to the sides, making the raft look like a main raft and two small rafts.

On the main raft, Wang Xiaotie also had to add an extra log around the raft to give the raft a "low wall", so that when he was resting, he would not have to worry about accidentally stretching a part of his body into the sea and letting the shark drag it away.

Of course, these are far from enough, after all, this is a raft that needs to go to the ocean, so the most important thing is power. It would be a fool's dream to rely only on going with the flow and counting on God to send him to that northern island.

It was not easy to make a standard sail on the raft, so Wang Xiaotie could only find a way to use three fist-thick wooden sticks to erect a tripod at the end and front of the raft. The tripod will increase the weight of the raft, but Wang Xiaotie, who has a lot of fish floats, has the capital to do so.

After the tripod was fixed, Wang Xiaotie tied a rope at the top, and when the voyage began, he would take off his clothes, tie it to the rope, and then find the right angle to make the whole raft move.

Before I knew it, five days had passed, and Wang Xiaotie's coconuts had all been eaten, and the good news was that after continuous reinforcement and improvement in the past few days, the raft was completed!

The other two coconut trees had also been put on the ground by Wang Xiaotie, and the coconut leaves were all collected by him and pounced on the raft.

Putting everything that could be used into a paint bucket, Wang Xiaotie fixed the bucket to the raft as well. Today, Wang Xiaotie is leaving this small island that may be swallowed by magma at any time and setting off towards the north.

Glancing at the "spring bed" and simple hut he had built, Wang Xiaotie shook his head, not feeling any pity. The island is really short of supplies, especially water, except for a few coconuts, can only wait for God's gift of rain, this is not a good place to be nostalgic.

Slide the raft directly into the sea using the lever principle, and Wang Xiaotie began to push the raft effortlessly towards the deep sea.

After feeling that the depth was about the same, Wang Xiaotie immediately climbed onto the raft, and then used the oars he made to row towards the deep sea area.
