The rainy season still continues, and this time is often when it rains during the day, stops at night, and then continues the next day.

Because of the danger of landslides and mudslides, even when it is not raining, Fang Jinyan and others do not dare to travel far, but only in the vicinity of the volcanic lake, although the geology here was once active, but now it is an open platform, the geology is relatively stable, otherwise these baobab trees would not have grown quietly for hundreds of years.

Due to the high altitude here, above 500 meters, as long as you find a suitable position, you can have a bird's-eye view of the mountain below, of course, because it is still not high enough, so you can't see the whole island, you can only see the northwest bay area where the western peninsula and the northern peninsula meet.

They saw that the large amount of rainwater under the mountain could not be drained, and a large lake was formed in the low-lying area, this kind of seasonal lake, which is common in the tropical monsoon region, the most famous is probably the Tonle Sap Lake in Southeast Asia.

Fang Jinyan and others pay attention to the shape of the mountain every day in case there is an unexpected change, and because they are relatively small in number, they usually act in groups and avoid scattering as much as possible.

They will also carry their homemade weapons at any time, although they are basically the most primitive wooden guns and stone tools and the like, but it is much better than bare-handed, especially when Fang Jinyan is here, he is holding a deer tendon bow, a hundred steps through the yang, and the arrow's ability to shoot without missing a shot, so that the combat effectiveness of the entire team soars.

A few days ago they even killed a leopard weighing about 50 kilograms.

The process was very simple, Fang Jinyan found the leopard lurking in the bushes for the first time, and then calmly shot two arrows in a row within ten meters. Shoot it in both eyes, and then it's the story of a group of people beating up a blind leopard.

Originally, this leopard wanted to escape. But it hit the tree one after another.

In the end, it was inevitable.

It's a pity that its meat is not delicious, a bit like beef. But the muscle fibers are too thick and a little sour

It feels far less delicious than venison, and the only advantage is that there is basically no fat.

Of course, sometimes in the more open areas near the treehouse, they will also separate a certain distance, but not too far, at least to ensure that if they find an emergency, others can rush to the rescue immediately.

For example, Zhou Rong and several other girls often carry weapons. I went to a small pool near the lake to get water, because during heavy rains, the water in many places carries a lot of mud and must settle for a long time before it can be used.

It is mostly lava rock, not much dirt, so the water in it will not become muddy even on rainy days, which is their main source of water at present.

Although this section of the road is about a kilometer, the view along the way is relatively wide, and it is easy to find any dangers. Then shout loudly, and the others will be able to support quickly, so it's not very dangerous.

- Of course, they still collect rainwater as directly as possible, but if it is not enough, they will take it.

In addition, you need to come here to wash clothes and take a shower. In terms of bathing. The women were embarrassed because most of them didn't have enough clothes to change, but they still had some hides they had gotten earlier. You can deal with it temporarily, and change back when your clothes are almost dry. Of course, there are also those who wear a jacket and a shirt as two outfits.

On this day, it was a rare sunny day. Several women set off in groups, ready to wash up.

At the halfway point. Zhou Rong suddenly stopped.

"Wait, here's the situation," she said, bending down and picking up something.

"What's going on?" Zhao Lan and the others immediately asked nervously.

"There's a button here." Zhou Rong showed them the things she had just picked up.

"Who really dropped it?"

"It's not me anyway, my clothes don't have buttons."

"It's not me, my buttons are different from this."

"Maybe the boys dropped it."

"No, they definitely didn't drop it!" Zhou Rong denied very firmly, "I have an impression of their clothes, and there are absolutely no such buttons, so this button should have been dropped by someone else!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the other girls were suddenly shocked.

"Wouldn't it?! Someone else has been here? ”

"Could it be Mu Tielong, they came here?!"

"Is it possible, do any of you have any impressions of this button? Do they have such buttons on their clothes? Zhou Rong frowned and asked.

She couldn't remember it herself, she didn't have a perverted memory like Fang Jinyan.

"I don't remember, who paid attention to this"

"yes, even if there were, we wouldn't remember."

"Well, whoever it is, we'll have to go back and report to the captain immediately." Zhou Rong still frowned and said.

They have now established a new team, and Fang Jinyan naturally became the captain without accident, and Zhou Rong's title to him has also changed from the original "your team leader" to "captain".

Zhao Lan is the deputy captain, mainly responsible for girls' affairs, she is older, she is also stable, and she is still more convincing.

"That's right, we'll go back right away." Zhao Lan also immediately supported.

"Not going to take a shower?" Zhu Qianqian asked weakly.

There aren't many good weather like this in the rainy season, and if you don't wash today, you may have to wait for several more weeks.

"Of course not, if we delay the big thing, we may die!" Zhou Rong said firmly.

"She's right, it's a critical matter, and it can't be delayed at all." Zhao Lan also said.

The other girls didn't dare to have any more opinions, they followed Zhou Rong and Zhao Lan, trotted back together, and reported to Fang Jinyan and other men.

After Fang Jinyan and others got this report, they also attached great importance to it.

"You guys did the right thing, especially Zhou Rong, your discovery is very important, and it may allow us to avoid a serious danger." Fang Jinyan said.

"No, I just saw it by accident, just luck." was rarely praised by Fang Jinyan, Zhou Rong said embarrassedly, and then remembered and asked, "Captain, who do you think dropped this button?" Could it really be that Mu Tielong and they came here? ”

"It shouldn't be them, I haven't seen this button in my memory." Fang Jinyan shook his head and said.

"So many people, can you remember?" Zhou Rong asked in surprise.

"Almost, it's not too difficult for me." Fang Jinyan replied.

"And who do you think dropped this button?"

"I don't know about this, I guess it could be other victims." Fang Jinyan said.

"Are there any other victims here?!" Zheng Chen was immediately overjoyed and said. His idea was simple, as long as there were other victims, it meant that his girlfriend might be on the island, and maybe the button was dropped here by his girlfriend's companion!

Fang Jinyan nodded and said: "Now it seems that there is a great possibility, but I advise you to calm down, because there is a second group of victims, which means that there may be a third and fourth groups and we don't know anything about them, they may not be friendly, we can't even be sure if they are from the same world as us, do you know what we mean?" ”

The crowd apparently didn't understand for a moment, and were frightened by his statement.

"I'm just saying that there is this possibility, in short, this island is too weird, we must be cautious and cautious for the sake of safety, we must think the worst thoughts to predict each other, and we must not expose ourselves lightly until we are sure that the other party is friendly, they may be evil thugs, and they are so powerful that we can't resist at all." Fang Jinyan said.

"I see, you mean you don't want us to reach out to them, do you?" Zhao Lan thought for a while and said.

The quickest way for them to get in touch with each other now is obviously to burn fireworks or shout loudly to make the other party find out.

"Yes, it is very dangerous to take the initiative to expose yourself to let the other party know without knowing the other party." Fang Jinyan nodded and said.

"But what if they're rescuers? By the time we get to the bottom of this, they'll probably be gone! Zheng Chen said urgently.

"It's basically impossible, if they were rescuers, they would have found them in other ways, just light a fire, it's much easier than going into the mountains to find us, but they didn't do it, which means they don't want anyone else to find out." Fang Jinyan said.

"Can the ignition really be visible to other people? Didn't we also expose ourselves when we used to cook every day? Zhou Rong asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, the general flame smoke is not big, you can't see it from a little distance, if you want to attract attention, you have to have a larger fire and more special fuel, the best thing is of course the legendary wolf smoke, some impurities of minerals or oil-rich plants can also be." Fang Jinyan said.

"That's us, and we're going to try to avoid them now, unless we can be sure they're friendly, and maybe they're consciously avoiding letting us spot them first?" Zhu Pingzhi sorted it out and said.

"That's pretty much it." Fang Jinyan nodded and said.

"How does it sound a bit like the law of the dark forest in "The Three-Body Problem", it's too cruel, maybe the other party is not as bad as we imagined, I think there are more good people in the world" Zhang Hongbing pouted and said.

"Maybe you're right, but as long as there's a 1% chance that they're malicious to us and stronger than us, then we have to be careful, maybe we'll miss something, but that's part of the choice." Fang Jinyan said.

"That's right, I agree with the captain, it's not that we don't want to contact them, but we have to understand them before contacting them, and even if we miss the chance to be rescued, we can still survive, and we may have a chance to be saved in the future, but if we take the risk, we may die immediately, and it is not difficult to choose." Liu Yun expressed his support. (To be continued......)
