Chapter 132: The Shelter
On top of Chen Mo's spear, there was a huge sea fish that was nearly a meter long.
It's just that it was completely blocked by Chen Mo's tall body before, and it wasn't until Chen Mo put it in front of him at this time that everyone saw it.
Since he doesn't plan to continue to hide, Chen Mo doesn't need to hide it, the "airdrop" can also be declared over, considering that everyone hasn't had a good meal for a long time, Chen Mo simply went to the sea to catch a big fish and give them a better life, which should be a meeting gift.
With his physical fitness, he can stay underwater for more than ten minutes in one breath without any pressure, and his swimming speed in the sea is not much slower than that of ordinary fish.
While roaming the bottom of the sea, admiring the underwater scenery, Chen Mo was looking for prey that was big enough, and most of the time was spent lounging.
This sea fish is more than a meter long and weighs more than 20 kilograms, which is enough for everyone to eat a full meal.
Half an hour later, the fish was cut into pieces, dressed on sticks, and set up on the fire.
Under the scorching flame, the surface of the fish crackles slightly, and gradually becomes golden and attractive as it is constantly flipped, and the heat is constantly bubbling between the cracks of the fish, and a rich fragrance spreads out.
The two little girls squatted beside the fire, staring at the fish above the flame without blinking, smelling the fragrance wafting away, and swallowing saliva from time to time.
At noon that day, the survivors, who had not eaten a full meal since the plane crash, finally felt the long-lost feeling of fullness again, and the deep happiness and satisfaction that followed.
In this difficult environment, being able to eat a full meal really makes people feel very happy, and it is needless to say that they are grateful to Chen Mo who brought them all this.
It's just that Chen Mo didn't eat with them, although the alloy armored combat suit on his body was exquisitely designed and comfortable to wear, he couldn't eat directly, and he couldn't show his face in front of everyone, so he could only wait until he returned to his own camp to eat.
However, he was not idle when everyone was busy grilling fish and eating, and after throwing the fish to them, Chen Mo went into the woods alone.
Leaving everyone's sight and coming to a dense tree, Chen Mo took out the King's Sword from the space and prepared to start the logging mode.
It's just that he just took out the sword and held it in his hand, but after a pause, Chen Mo took the sword back again, the king's sword sharpened iron like clay, and it was even easier to cut trees, but Chen Mo didn't think that it was useless to use it to cut trees, but out of caution.
After all, I don't know if the rescue will come, it is best to leave as few flaws as possible on this island, the cut cut by the King's Sword is extremely smooth, and it is obviously different from other ordinary swords, which can easily arouse suspicion and increase trouble.
And even without the King's Sword, it would be easy for Chen Mo to break these small trees.
Putting away the king's sword, Chen Mo chose a tree with an arm-thick and straight trunk, walked to him, stretched forward with his left hand and grabbed the trunk, and with his right hand into a knife, he directly slashed towards the position below the trunk.
Without even exerting much strength, the trunk of the tree was easily cut off by his right hand covered with armor, and then Chen Mo put the tree down and directly broke off the excess branches, leaving only a straight trunk.
These may take a lot of effort for others, but Chen Mo is easy and casual to do, one by one the trees were put down by Chen Mo's palm, and then started work left and right with both hands, and soon all the branches were torn off, and when Chen Mo felt that he was about to stop, there were already a bunch of slender and straight tree trunks piled up next to him.
After cutting the wood, Chen Mo did not rush back to the survivors' camp, but returned to his camp first.
Taking out the barbecue and fruits brought by the Legend of the Night World from the space, and leisurely enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Chen Mo lay on the wide and comfortable air mattress bed for a short rest before getting up and returning to the survivor camp.
A group of survivors had just finished their feast of sea fish, and at this time they were standing or sitting around the fire, their faces full of satisfaction.
Seeing Chen Mo coming back, everyone hurriedly got up and looked at Chen Mo with warm eyes.
Seeing that everyone was already full, Chen Mo nodded slightly, no nonsense.
"Follow me."
Taking everyone except the old man with him, Chen Mo returned to the place where he had "chopped" the tree before.
Looking at the large number of arm-thick, straight and slender tree trunks neatly placed in front of them, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Chen Mo meant.
"Carry all these trunks back to camp."
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Chen Mo said slowly.
"In the afternoon, we build a house."
……
With great curiosity and anticipation, everyone began to move the wood.
The trunk of three or four meters long and the thickness of the arm is actually not heavy, Zhang Xin and Xu Qing, the two little girls, can lift two at a time, and Zhao Jianmin, the captain who has basically recovered, can carry two or three by himself.
Everyone was not lazy at all, and kept moving back and forth, but it was a busy scene.
The two little girls finally managed to help, they both worked very hard, they didn't want to be parasites, my sister and uncle didn't know them, but they helped them a lot, and they had to help as much as possible.
So although they were too tired to move later, the two of them gritted their teeth and struggled to carry the two tree trunks to the camp, rather than putting down one of them, which was more relaxed.
Even the others were tired later, but no one complained and was lazy, even if it was out of his sight.
Since he was on a desert island, Chen Mo has "watched" everyone's performance, he knew that he didn't help the wrong person, and he was glad that he didn't stand by because of too many concerns.
At the very least, they are all people who deserve his help, even if their abilities are limited, but each of them will do their best to help others, distribute their own small food to those who need it more, and at the same time try to do the best they are responsible for.
This is also under Chen Mo's interference, with his rules "screening" and "elimination", they can live safely to the end, without him, the fate of these "honest people" now will definitely not be very good, to be precise, it will be very miserable.
After this incident, Chen Mo deeply felt that justice needs to be upheld.
Allowing the survival of the fittest by nature, how many good people will not die well, and how many wicked people will bring disaster to one party.
He is willing to see more people like them live in peace, and hopes that all those who do evil will be punished as they deserve.
Justice needs to be maintained, and evil needs to be punished, and Chen Mo believes that he can do much more than that, everything starts on this island!
Time passed little by little, and with the concerted cooperation of everyone, dozens or hundreds of tree trunks finally moved back to the camp after more than a dozen round-trips.
Chen Mo, who returned one step ahead of everyone, had already chosen a location at this time and marked it, although it was said to be building a house, but after all, the conditions were limited, in fact, it was to build a shelter that could shelter from the wind and rain, but compared with the simple shelter that they originally didn't even count as a shack, what Chen Mo planned to build could be said to be a mansion.
Chen Mo chose a slightly higher open space on the east side of the camp, where the ground was flat and dry, and there was no need to do much treatment.
After choosing a good place, Chen Mo did not start work immediately, but took out an Edelman alloy flying knife from the space while no one was paying attention, 25 cm long, 3 cm wide, and 5 mm thick flying knife was also very convenient to hold directly in his hand as a dagger.
After taking a tree trunk, Chen Mo sharpened one end of the trunk with a flying knife, and then put it on the fire to bake it black and do a simple carbonization treatment.
By the time the two little girls came back sweating profusely carrying the last two tree trunks, Chen Mo had already processed a sufficient number of tree trunks and officially started the construction of the shelter.
Standing in a position that had already been calibrated in advance, Chen Mo held a tree trunk sharpened below with both hands, raised it high, and then thrust it into the ground with force.
"Whew!"
Under Chen Mo's tremendous force, the trunk of the tree was deeply inserted into the ground, nearly half a meter long.
Everyone next to them was a little dumbfounded, what a lot of strength, although the ground is not very hard, but it is already terrifying to insert nearly half a meter at once.
In fact, this is still Chen Mo's reservation, after all, it is not too shocking, his current performance is at the level of a top Hercules, although everyone is surprised, they can still accept it, and they will not feel that Chen Mo is not human.
Next, like a humanoid piledriver, Chen Mo inserted the sharpened trunks of the trees deep into the soil.
Soon, the main pillars of the shelter were erected.
Afterwards, Chen Mo commanded the returning people to tie the other tree trunks with vines in a suitable position and connect and fix them.
Under Chen Mo's guidance, everyone worked together and worked together, and it didn't take too long to build the framework of the shelter.
Chen Mo didn't choose to build a small and simple triangular or conical shelter, the space inside was too small, anyway, it wasn't a hassle for Chen Mo, and he didn't know how long he would stay on this island, so he just built a larger one.
As can be seen from the completed frame, this is a wide wooden house with a length and width of five meters by five meters, a middle ridge of two meters and a half, and a low height of one meter eight on both sides, which is enough to accommodate ten people to rest without being too crowded.
After the frame was erected, the wooden house was very stable, but it was still in a state of ventilation, but the big work has been completed, and the rest is much simpler.
Under Chen Mo's command, everyone collected a large number of branches with leaves, neatly covered them on the frame and tied them, trying to block every gap, especially on the roof, which was covered with a thick layer of branches and leaves.
It took the seven of them an afternoon to build the shelter before the sun went down.
Looking at this green simple wooden house, everyone was very happy, and the two little girls clapped their hands happily, finally no longer had to squeeze in the small and airy simple tent.
The wooden house, though a little shabby, is very spacious, and the thick foliage completely blocks out the wind, so you don't have to worry about freezing at night.
Standing in front of the beautiful and wide wooden house, everyone did not see that they were on a desert island at all, but rather as if they were camping.
On the first day that Chen Mo officially joined, their living standards improved tremendously.
The days that followed made them feel like they were in a dream.
There was plenty of food every day, and everyone never went hungry again.
It was very warm at night in the newly built wooden house, and each of them had a simple bed, so they were able to get a good night's sleep.
Not all of their food was provided by Chen Mo, and it was impossible for him to go to the sea every day to catch fish for them, but fortunately he had prepared for it.
When he appeared in front of everyone with several fishing rods, everyone's eyes looked like they had seen a ghost.
Didn't they crash a plane? Aren't all the wreckage burned out? How can there be fishing rods, and there are still several!
And the dagger that Chen Mo used before, it was impossible to bring it on the plane at all, where did it come from?
Fortunately, Su Wan didn't tell them about the wide military tent where Chen Mo lived, the comfortable air mattress bed, and all kinds of fruits placed casually, otherwise they didn't know what they would be surprised about, Su Wan was also puzzled by this, but it was not good to ask Chen Mo directly, and she was always very entangled in her heart.
In the end, Chen Mo's words dispelled all their doubts.
"My boat sank nearby"
Chen Mo didn't explain too much, but everyone helped him make up for it.
He is a powerful killer, and if he wants to relax after completing a certain mission, he drives a yacht on a vacation, which is fully equipped with wild survival materials and all kinds of food.
The compressed biscuits, canned food, tents, daggers, and all kinds of fruits that had been relieved of them before were all explained.
After the ship sank nearby, he landed on the island with some supplies, just in time to meet them in a plane crash.
As for the probability of such a coincidence, there is nothing impossible for someone who managed to survive a plane crash.
With the fishing rods provided by Chen Mo, the survivors could finally get enough food, and later, with the improvement of everyone's fishing skills, they didn't even need to be fully dispatched, and only half of the people sent out every day could basically ensure enough food.
No one thinks that Chen Mo can easily catch big fish, but there is nothing wrong with letting them fish hard under the sun every day.
After going through the previous hardships, they know how precious the help of others is, no one will take everything for granted, no one deserves it, Chen Mo has only deep gratitude for their help.
Now their lives are countless times better than before, which they couldn't have imagined before, and it is not easy to survive.
However, there is still a bad thing that happened, in fact, everyone has expected it.
The old man's heart disease is very serious and he needs to take medicine every day to maintain it, fortunately, Su Wan carries some with her, but even if she keeps saving it, she still eats it in less than a month, and after that, she can only carry it.
Even if you are very careful, you still have attacks from time to time, and you have angina, but you still can't survive to the end.
There was less than a week before the expiration of the month, and Chen Mo could travel through the next world, and the old man left quietly in his sleep.
