Chapter 287: Survival (Ask for a monthly pass, subscribe!) )
The situation was different from what they thought, and it seemed that it was impossible to get to the snowy mountains by other routes. The chocolate biscuit bird's nest is the only and best way.
So, everyone had to go home and find a way.
After Tony collected the dry wood from the land in the forest, he first busied himself with plugging the wind-filled holes in the grotto so that the grotto could be inhabited. At the same time, sand, stones, bent branches, and mud were used to seal the entrance to the cave facing the south wind. There was a thin curved slit left next to it, which could not only pass the smoke but also pull out the fire.
The four-square-meter cave was thus divided into two rooms, if worthy of being called a room. After all, the light is dark, and the beasts will not be satisfied. However, the cave is very dry, and the main room in the center can be straightened. They spread another layer of fine sand on the ground. When it was all set up, they were very satisfied, because they couldn't have found a better place to do it.
"Maybe Natasha and Sasha have already dealt with the birds." Brother Hale said as he helped Tony with his work.
"Probably." Tony shrugged his shoulders and said, "But since we don't know, we have to go on with our work as usual." It's better to have it than to use it at all! Besides, listening to Sasha's tone before, it looks like we're going to be staying here for a while before we get rid of those damn birds. With that, he went back to work.
"But then again." Tony said curiously to Brother Haier as he worked. After all, what they are looking for now is the treasure left behind by One Piece, and if they know what kind of person he is, it will also be beneficial to the treasure hunt. After all, the treasure left by a person full of evil is absolutely different from the treasure left by an upright and brave person. Even the treasure hunt takes a different form.
"One Piece...... What kind of person is it? ”
"This ......" Hearing what Tony said, Brother Hale thought for a moment and spoke: "If he is alive, he must be a great man." Maybe it will become one of the vertices of the dimension. ”
"Dimensional vertices?" Tony heard a new term.
"It doesn't matter." Brother Haier shook his head, and then continued. There was obvious adoration on the expression.
One Piece Roger, who is known as the One Piece in all dimensions, is a pirate with all the wealth, fame, and power of the sea, and the captain of the Roger Pirates who are the only few in history to conquer the great voyages; He is also the owner of the legendary Great Secret Treasure. After a series of titles, Brother Hale continued, "He's a man born in the Zeente dimension, think about it." Only a heroic dimension like Zeente can give birth to such a hero! ”
"At sea, he is known to possess one of the most dangerous forces in the world, but even so, legend has it that he is as innocent as a child. He cherishes his partners very much, and therefore he has won the trust of his partners. Because he didn't want the enemy to pursue his companions behind him, he never ran away even in the face of a strong enemy......"
With Brother Haier's story, Tony probably also understands what kind of character the legendary One Piece is.
"In this way, although he is called One Piece, he is essentially an explorer!" Tony gave a definition: "It's not the same as I imagined a pirate to burn and loot." ”
"Of course it's different." Brother Haier looked at Tony with a strange look: "Because of the explosion of the previous universe, there are already very few immigrants left in the upper universe. Even if the dimensional space is not as big as the entire multiverse. But because of the decrease in the number of residents, we don't have any shortage of resources. So even if it's in the name of pirates, you don't need to really do bad things. In other words, the contradictions between the major dimensions are mainly focused on the dispute of ideas. ”
"Okay." Hearing Brother Haier say this, Tony suddenly felt that the living environment in each dimension could really be called a world without dispute.
"But then again." Turning his head, Brother Haier looked around and spoke, "Why haven't Sasha and Natasha come back yet?" It stands to reason that it won't take long. It's just an observation. ”
"I think they'll be back in a moment." For Natasha and Sasha, Tony is a hundred reassuring. Even in his opinion, the two women put Brother Haier and him together just to not drag the two of them back. Although it hurt Stark's self-esteem a little bit, Tony felt that it was true.
"Now," Tony said, looking around, "Now, just wait for those two big beauties to come back." ”
As soon as the words fell, Natasha and Sasha came back together in a swaying posture.
"I'm exhausted." As soon as she returned, Sasha sat on the floor and breathed heavily. By the way, he turned his head and asked Tony, "Is there anything to eat?" It's evening now. ”
Arrived on the island early in the morning, then spent an hour on the first island, then came to this mysterious treasure island that they thought was a real treasure, then met the chocolate chip cookie bird at noon, and then turned back to the seaside to see if there was anything else to get to the snowy mountains. If you calculate the time, it should be evening by now.
"If we eat it, we can prepare it now." Tony spoke. After saying that, I was also a little embarrassed. Because of this, she is like a housewife in a soap opera in the eighties. If only in an adult movie in an island country. At this time, should he say eat first or eat me first......
"Ahem." Interrupting his unrealistic thoughts from his mind, Tony began to assemble the stove with Brother Hale.
Brother Hale is more ingenious than Tony. It's only an afternoon though. And there aren't many tools at hand either. But they renovated the entire grotto using simple timber and a few things they brought down from the helicopter. Or even say. This house, at present, only needs to build a stove, and it will be alive.
Of course, making a stove in the field is as simple as piling up stones and leaving a small opening in the middle of the pile. Then lay a few flat stones under the slitted mouth. In this way, not only will the smoke be released, but the heat will not be carried out of the small space.
"So now here's the problem." After the stove was built, several people looked at each other: "How should we light the fire?" Isn't it ......" he said, tapping the reactor on his chest forehead: "Do you use my reactor to ignite it?" Ha ha. He made a joke.
"Hmm...... We can still rub wood to make fire like the natives. Sasha suggested: "I have seen a science and education channel, and it is said that this method is very simple, and the natives on the Pacific islands often use this method. ”
"Heh, you try it!" After listening to Sasha's words, Tony spoke, looking at Sasha like a mentally handicapped child: "In addition to making your arms move, see if you can grind fire." ”
The children ran out with the sailors, looking carefully in the sand, in the cracks in the rocks, and on the banks of the river. The matchbox was made of copper, which would have been easy to see, but I searched everywhere and still couldn't find it.
“…… So what to do? Sasha spoke. After all, they were already far from the helicopter. It's probably impossible to find something to ignite, and at high tide, the pebbles on the beach are washed by the waves.
"Why not matches? Although I only have a few ......" At this time, Brother Haier on the side suddenly spoke, and then took out a small match from nowhere.
"God, you really are an angel." Tony snatched the match and carefully took it, although the match itself was not worth a penny, but it was very precious to them now. After all, this is the only thing they can fire on. Although a pistol can be fired, it is not regular after all.
"Haha!" Tony shouted, "One is like having a whole boatload of matches!" ”
He took the match and led his companions to the cave.
Then beckoned Natasha to bring the firewood. First make sure it's dry, then say, "You have to prepare the starter paper." All I have is a few matches! ”
"You still need to say it." Natasha first handed Tony a piece of paper.
Tony took the paper from Natasha's hand, knelt in front of the pyre, and set up the firewood, which was padded with some dead grass, leaves, and dry moss, so that the air could circulate and it would be easy to light the dry wood. As a scientist, Tony showed the most perfect ignition situation at this time.
He rolled the paper into a conical tube, and stuck it into the moss as if he were smoking in a windy place. Then he picked up a small rough stone, rubbed it carefully, held his breath, and gently struck a match on the stone.
"Brush!" I paddled it and didn't paddle. So I scratched it again.
There was a clatter of matchsticks, and then a small flame was lit, jumping on the matchstick like a fairy. At the same time, there was a smell of gunsmoke. Tony unhurriedly tilted the match down so that it lit up stronger. Then he put the match in the paper tube, and after a few seconds, the paper tube and the moss were on fire.
On the other side, Brother Haier blew vigorously with his mouth, trying to make the pile of firewood burn with the fire.
And Natasha and Sasha ...... In Sasha's words, in such a rough job, can you lie down two beautiful women who are naturally beautiful.
But fortunately, Tony and Haier brothers are enough. A minute later, there was an explosion of dry wood, and a raging fire burned in the darkness.
"It worked!" Tony stood up and shouted, "This tension is a little less than the reactor on my chest before." But it's a one-and-done thing. "The fire is already burning. So as long as they always have some red coals, the fire will not be extinguished, but they have a lot of firewood and a forest nearby, so they can replenish new fuel at any time.
"Don't make such a fuss." He gave Tony a blank look, but didn't speak, because this cauldron was a wonderful stove. At the same time, the smoke from the furnace easily went out of the slit, and the chimney was on fire, and in a short time the grotto soon became warm, and although it was not cold now, they were still precautionary. After all, no one knows what kind of temperature the forest will be like at night.
After waiting for a while, Sasha slowly picked up a few chocolate chip cookie birds they had brought back and put them into the boiling water. After waiting for about five or six minutes, everyone smelled a rich chocolate scent......
"Goo." Sasha says she's hungry, so what about Tony and Natasha. So after asking about the taste, Tony's delicate body reacted first. After all, Tony is a Stark with a sweet tooth and a burger.
"Taste it." After boiling the pot, I saw that the original chocolate chip biscuit birds were gone, and now all that was left in the pot was sticky chocolate and biscuit pieces floating on it.
Sasha served everyone a bowl and handed him Tony's share, "It's certainly not as good as Susa's cooking." But after all, this is a hunting-level no-nonsense monster, and it's definitely tastier than any food you've ever eaten. ”
"Are you underestimating me?" Tony took the bowl from Sasha in disbelief: "I, Tony Stark haven't tried anything." So saying, he blew on the bowl and took a sip.
"It smells good." Tony muttered. After all, aroma is an important part of chocolate flavor and is a prelude to experiencing it. Now this chocolate soup gives a clean, rich feeling, which is very pleasant. Even the best chocolate on earth has never given Tony this feeling.
"This !!" As soon as the food was eaten, Tony's eyes widened: "It's like tasting truffles!" "The chocolate melts slowly between the lips and teeth, although it is soup, but the texture has a strange smoothness, and at the same time it is fragrant and pleasant, like mellow wine and coffee, slightly bitter and slightly sweet, with an endless aftertaste. At least in Tony's senses, it's something that even his favorite cheeseburger can't match.
"How?" Sasha, looking at Tony's appearance, said, "This thing is delicious, isn't it?" As long as there is a hunting level. It doesn't just mean rarity that is difficult to catch. At the same time, it also means that they are delicious beyond physical ingredients. Because the ingredients themselves are at least beyond the ordinary anomalous level! ”
"......" But by this time Tony was no longer talking. One is that he was indeed slapped in the face by Sasha this time. Second, it's because his mouth can't stop.
Three adults and one villa, in just half an hour, divided a large pot of chocolate biscuit soup cooked by birds. Not even the bottom of the pot is left.
"Then you're well fed and drunk." Sasha found a comfortable position and half-reclined, speaking to a few people.
"It's time for us to get down to business!"
