Chapter 014: Save Yourself
How long has it been since a disappearance to be considered dead?
Wen Ming is now thinking about this.
The original short hair had covered his eyebrows, and for more than three months, Wen Ming had turned into a sloppy savage. Although his body is now young, he is only 19 years old, but he has already grown a thick beard.
He had learned how to fire crockpots, but when he gritted his teeth and smashed a crockpot and tried to use the shards as knives to shave or cut his hair, he found that he couldn't do it.
It turns out that human hair can be so hard.
Looking at the crockpot in front of him, or the reflection in the crockpot, Wen Ming didn't know his current self a little.
With the knowledge that he could 'change the world', but he could only hide in this isolated island, eating food without any taste every day, Wen Ming felt that he was about to go crazy.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving on my own!"
This idea did not appear on the first day, after being trapped on this isolated island for half a month, Wen Ming already had a strong urge. That is to put on a life jacket and rush into the sea and let the sea water wash itself in any direction.
He didn't want to die on this isolated island.
After surviving on this isolated island for a month, Wen Ming really put on a life jacket, held a dead wood with a dozen coconuts hanging on it, and rushed into the sea.
But to his despair, the sea once again washed him back on this isolated island, and he struggled to swim away from this isolated island, but he could not break through the waves that swept towards the isolated island.
Since that day, Wen Ming has been building ships.
On this isolated island, he did not find bamboo, and if there was bamboo, then it would be very easy to build a raft. Of course, this ease is relative to building a ship.
With banana trees without bananas, and hibiscus bark, Wen Ming rubbed out a lot of rope with his hands.
The rope is just the first step in making a boat.
It took five days for Wen Ming to get a tree trunk that was more than 3 meters tall and surrounded by one person.
Originally, the tree was more than 3 meters tall, but the way to get the trunk was to light a fire at the bottom of the tree and burn the tree with the power of the flames. Of course, in order to prevent the entire tree from burning, Wen Ming needs to constantly water the trunk.
The rough stone axe is Wen Ming's only tool.
After the base of the trunk is charred, it is cut with a stone axe, and then burned and cut again.
When this giant tree, which had grown for an unknown number of years, was successfully put to the ground by Wen Ming, he discovered a problem.
That is, he simply had no way to drag this huge trunk to the beach.
It took ten days to remove all the branches from the trunk of the tree with a stone axe and flames.
That is, a complete trunk of a tree took fifteen days to smell.
But after getting the trunk, Wen Ming stopped the plan to build a ship. Because he didn't have any tools that could help him make this trunk into a boat, even the simplest canoe.
Before starting the plan, Wen Ming may have thought about this problem, but it may be because on this isolated island, if he doesn't find something to do, then he will be lonely and crazy, so he directly ignored this problem.
It wasn't until the trunk was brought down and all the branches were disposed of that Wen Ming completely gave up the plan out of despair.
However, in the third month after being exiled to the isolated island, Wen Ming once again had the idea of leaving the isolated island.
"No one came to save me, only I could save myself."
Wen Ming glanced at the reflection on the water in the crockpot, and resolutely returned to the location of the tree trunk.
The location was not far from where he lived, and not far from the beach, not only because he had thought about the distance in advance, but also because the island itself was not big.
After making a decision in his heart, Wen Ming began to build his own ship.
Although the ship has not yet been built, he has already given the ship a name - the Ark!
Not just his ark, but also the ark of humanity in this world.
The fire was lit, and the woodwood, which was about to burn to charcoal, was placed on the trunk of the tree, and the smell began to wait for the familiar smell of burning.
With such a thick trunk, it is naturally impossible to be burned easily, and the purpose of the charcoal fire put on by Wen Ming is just to make it more fragile.
When the charcoal fire burned out, Wen Ming immediately picked up his stone axe, or stone hoe, and began to dig through the charred places.
In three months, Wen Ming's body was already full of calluses, and this level of friction couldn't make him feel anything at all.
When the blackened area had been completely cut off, Wen Ming continued to repeat the burning action.
One day, two days......
A month later, a 'canoe' had appeared in front of Wen Ming's eyes, and compared to the canoe that still looked bloated, Wen Ming looked extremely thin at this time.
Even if he eats seafood every day and eats the most natural berries, he cannot supplement the nutrients that modern people need. However, perhaps because he has been doing various kinds of work for the past four months, making his muscles stronger.
The canoe is a real canoe with not real sharp horns at the ends, but rather an oval-like shape. The volume of the entire trunk has been cut by Wen Ming by more than half, and the upper part has completely disappeared except for the bottom, which is still in its original state.
A pit that can only allow Wen Ming to lie in is the cabin of this canoe.
It's not that Wen Ming doesn't know the shape of the real canoe, or that Wen Ming doesn't know the true shape of the one-man boat, but he really can't make it.
"Can this kind of irregular, deviated canoe really allow me to go back?"
The canoe was made, but Wen Ming couldn't make up his mind to leave the sea. Because on the island, he can survive for at least a few months, but if he does use this canoe to leave the island, he will most likely die directly on the sea.
Using the rolling logs placed when making the canoe, Wen Ming gritted his teeth and got the canoe with a problematic center of gravity onto the beach.
Just wait until the tide is high for the canoe to float.
After tying the canoe to the tree behind him with a rope, Wen Ming began to prepare the supplies he needed.
He had to bring a few of them, because they could hold boiling water, and even if he ran out of water, he could take some rain to drink.
Definitely bring some coconut with you, because coconut water will keep him from eating anything else for a few days. You must also bring some berries to replenish your stamina.
"You can't bring fish because in this kind of weather, the fish will stink in a day after they die."
At this time, it was already May. When Wen Ming traveled into this world, it was January 2009, shortly after Christmas. In the weather in May, Wenming even needs to find a way to cool down.
Collect some coconut meat and put it all in a coconut shell, which is the sunscreen oil that Wenming prepared for himself. Not just to protect him from the sun, but also to help him prevent the damage of the seawater.
If a person's body is contaminated with seawater for a long time and is not washed with water, the consequences are very serious.
"There's still a sail left."
Wen Ming tore off his clothes, he only wore shorts and underwear when he saw the tornado, but when he saw the tornado, he started to put on a life jacket.
Tops and beach shorts, as well as some leaves, were made into sails by the smell.
And now, he is only wearing a panty with a few holes.
Everything was ready, Wen Ming looked at the endless sea, but fear slowly rose in his heart.
Stay, and after a while die.
If you leave, you may die in a few hours, or you may die in a day or two. Of course, it is possible to return to the human world.
"Is it a question of ten deaths or nine deaths?"
