They rowed their boat to the distant shore, which was separated from the tidal flats where the wild men were separated by a small forest. Once ashore, they towed the dinghy to the jungle and hid it, then found a small cave where they could barely shelter to rest.

Everyone is tired, in addition to the tired body, more psychologically, anyone who sees the scene of the end of the world, escaping from the desperate situation of death, can not help but be exhausted, even like a dead dog lying on the rock at the mouth of the cave, through the sparse sunlight in the woodland to dry its wet and sticky hair.

Only the crow jumped around, one moment on Aoki's head, and the other on the stone and kicked the fat butt with his foot: "Quack, you won't die, right?" ”

Rolled over soundly and meowed weakly.

The coal boss felt bored, so he jumped to Petru's side again, looked at the gun on his body and said: "Quack, you almost lost your life, and you are still carrying such a heavy thing, I see that your tiredness is pretended!" ”

Aoki had the same question, he was indeed at the end of his crossbow when he saw Petrul carrying Mrs. Larry before, but this guy refused to throw away the gun on his body.

He had more than one gun on him, in addition to the AK that had been depleted by the wild man and the sniper rifle that he had abandoned because it was inconvenient, he now had a submachine gun, two pistols and a dozen magazines, and a few grenades pinned to his waist. That's a lot of weight.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Petru smiled embarrassedly, took the gun off his body, shook the water, and began to disassemble it.

"My mental power is not as strong as yours, and without this thing, I don't have a sense of security." He skillfully dismantled the gun into parts, and lined up the dismantled parts in a row, "Hey, give me the guns you have on you, you have to find a way to dry them, otherwise they won't work, and they'll blow up." ”

Aoki no longer has a gun on him, and he and Su Huilan's pistols are given to Anderson, but there are still two grenades in his pocket. Su Huilan also had two grenades and a micro-charge on her back. They gave Petru all their weapons to him to tinker with.

Anderson took out his pistol and disassembled it as skillfully as Petru and placed it on the ground.

Petrux said, "Hey, man, good craft, a soldier?" ”

"yes, but I don't like this stuff, fishing is much more fun than shooting," Anderson said. ”

Petru glanced at his leg and said, "Okay man, I'd better leave this thing to me, you watch your legs, it's better to make a fire or something, it's not fun to soak the wound." ”

Speaking of making a fire, Aoki took out matches and cigarettes and looked at them, but they were all soaked in water and could not be used, so he threw them aside in distress.

He tore out his wet backpack, a few packs of cigarettes and a lighter fell out, and a willow branch fell to the ground.

There was nothing in his bag, and when Petru and Su Huilan went to the island, they tried to pick out practical weapons and tools, only bringing a small number of compressed biscuits, and he thought that he still had two foodies with him, so he stuffed a lot of food into his bag. But all the food was taken out of the cave, and most of it was left for Alice and Anderson, who were probably floating in the flood at this time.

Aoki tried the lighter, but it couldn't work, so he threw it with a cigarette match. He took out his phone again, threw it on the ground without looking at it, then stood up and said:

"I'll go over there and see what those wild people are doing, and the coal boss will come with me."

Su Huilan said, "I'll go with you." ”

Aoki looked at her soaked clothes and said, "You better stay, find a way to make a fire and dry your clothes, otherwise you will catch a cold." ”

Su Huilan said: "Then you don't have to roast dry?" ”

Aoki said, "No. And he took the crow and walked away on tap.

Su Huilan shouted from behind: "You be careful of the traps on the road!" ”

There were indeed a few traps on the way, but there weren't many, and Aoki quickly made his way through the woods and up a small hill. He saw a lot of savages busily busily on the riverbank, but he couldn't tell if they were the ones who had escaped with them.

The wild people were divided into two groups, one of which set up rafts on the river beach, and most of them were women and children. The other group was in the woods above, apparently with strong laborers cutting wood.

To Aoki's puzzlement, did these people make rafts to go back? But their homeland must have been destroyed, and it's hard to say whether the island still exists, so where can they go back?

He crept closer, and found that the wild people in the woods were not simply cutting wood, but building simple houses. The terrain they chose was very good, with a wide beach with fresh water and plenty of sunlight in the background, while the original trees of the woodland sheltered them from the wind and rain, and with the wooden stakes and beams they had built, and the walls made of vines, stones, branches and earth to keep them out, some of the houses already looked like.

Their division of labor shows that they are very skilled in this work, and one cannot help but suspect that they often have to go through such disasters that they must relocate to escape.

In addition to building houses, there are people who sharpen wooden spears and make bows and arrows; Others pull vines and hanging stakes on distant woodlands and hillsides, seemingly setting traps and building improvised fortifications.

When Aoki got closer, he saw the savage wizard with a wooden staff in his hand. He was instructing his people to bend two large trees and tie a net of vines between the bent trees, in which they carried broken stones and a large log. Judging from the size of the two trees, the force and area covered by the things in the rattan net must be not small.

The savage wizard glanced in the direction where Aoki was, then turned back to direct the work, but he didn't know if he didn't notice Aoki or didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Aoki didn't plan to provoke these savages for the time being, he was a little afraid of the divine wood staff in the wizard's hand. This wooden stick can communicate with the spiritual force field on the island, and although he doesn't know if this place is the same as the original island, he still decided not to risk it yet.

When he returned to the camp, Petru had somehow lit the fire, and Anderson was with him wiping down the parts of the gun. Both men were shirtless, and their clothes were hung on a shelf made of twigs by the fire.

Aoki saw a fire flickering on the other side of the mountain wall, and knew that several women were hiding there to dry their clothes, so he didn't bother and sat down by the fire.

Looking at the fluttering flames, he became addicted to smoking, so he picked up the cigarette on the ground and looked at it, and found that it was still wet and rotten, and it was estimated that he would not be able to smoke it without drying it for two days.

The sparse sunlight shone in the shade of the trees, and the red light of the fire contrasted with it.

He saw half of the willow branches lying on the ground, I don't know if it was due to the light or the water, it looked very verdant, and there were a few small tender teeth bursting out of it, which was a green miracle.

He picked up the willow branches.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a strange vitality, as if he was holding not a small branch in his hand, but a thick tree.

The feeling hit his mind.

He remembered the old willow tree in Willow Camp Lane. For a while, he felt similar mental fluctuations on the willow tree. At one point, he suspected that the tree could dream, and tried to enter the tree's dreams, but to no avail.

Then at this moment, he clearly sensed the spiritual power coming from the willow branches. This power connects a vast space, like a dream.

But Aoki knew that this was not a dream, it was the spiritual force field on the island.
