C9 Three Plans
We sat like this for a while. After that, I suggested that besides Chen Mengyu who was sick, everyone else should take turns keeping watch, while those who did not keep watch should make use of their time and focus on sleeping.
The three girls nodded in agreement.
It's a good thing that this island is in the tropics, it's so warm that even though I'm only wearing my pants, I can't feel a trace of coldness, so naturally, Zhou Qiqi and Xia Ran won't have any problems. But even so, we need to quickly find some things to replace our clothes.
Actually, I was already regretting burning my clothes and pants. After all, these things are absolutely not renewable on this deserted island. A non-renewable thing is absolutely precious. If I knew earlier, I would have gathered more of those branches to use as torches …
It was a good thing that with the protection of the bonfire at night, we were able to safely spend the first night on the deserted island. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I found myself in an exceptionally good mood, unlike the laziness I felt when I woke up.
Was it because the air on the island was too fresh?
The last person on night watch was Xia Ran. She was currently sitting on the stone platform outside the cave, staring into the distance, thinking about something.
I also walked out of the cave and looked around. I have to admit that the scenery on the deserted island is really beautiful. Excluding our isolated situation, being able to be together with three beauties in this wilderness is a good experience.
But I soon recovered my wits, for we have business to attend to today.
It had been more than a dozen hours since the accident, but there was still no sign of rescue, which meant we really had to be prepared to survive in this place for a long time.
At this moment, Xia Ran also saw that I had come out, so she looked away.
"Your name is Xiao Chen, right?" she asked, looking at me.
"Yes."
After talking to my dream lover, I realised that I was a little nervous and excited. This Xia Ran was completely different from the other online celebrities, her looks were basically the same as the photos and videos I saw on the internet. She looked even better and threw it away.
"I haven't thanked you for saving me yesterday. Thank you."
"I'm fine." I scratched my head and said, "This is what I should do."
"Do you think there are others on this island?"
"Yes," I immediately told her about Liu Yong and the other four.
Xia Ran nodded, "Then we have to be wary of them."
"Don't worry, I will protect you." I tapped my chest.
I'm still bare-chested. I noticed that Xia Ran's gaze was also directed at my abdomen's muscles.
No wonder those guys had to put their lives on the line by exercising their six abs in the gym. It turned out that they could easily attract the attention of girls …
At this moment, Chen Mengyu and Zhou Qiqi also came out. When I saw Chen Mengyu's rosy red face, I knew that she had pretty much recovered, but I still confirmed it with her. Chen Mengyu nodded and said that she felt that she should be feeling better now.
I heaved a sigh of relief, then gave him a rough outline of our plan for the day. First, I wanted to hurry to the seaside and use the rocks as a signal to call for help, second, we needed to find a fresh water source, otherwise, just relying on the bag of water would cause us to die of thirst sooner or later (Compared to water, the food here is secondary, since there are a lot of coconut trees on the island, as well as many other wild fruits that we can temporarily satisfy our hunger), third, to see if we can find anyone else besides Liu Yong. It would be best if we can get some decent clothes for Zhou Qiqi and Xia Ran.
I have already become the backbone of these three beauties. After explaining the plan, they nodded in agreement.
I immediately swept up all the ashes from the fire I built at the entrance of the cave last night, then used some rotten leaves to cover the entrance of the cave. Then, I carried the three beauties one by one down from Little Rock Mountain.
I told them to climb the tree in case they came across a pack of wolves when they were walking in the woods.
We made our way quickly to the beach, which was about seven in the morning. We walked along the shore for a while, and on the way we saw some boxes that had been washed up by the sea, but they were empty, and at first I thought the contents had been washed away by the sea, but then I realized that some of the boxes had been thrown on the beach, and they were all unusable.
It seemed that these boxes had been hollowed out by someone, and the intact boxes had already been taken away.
I could not help but get excited. Judging from the number of abandoned boxes, the survivors seemed to be far more than the people I had met.
However, we didn't see anyone on our way down, so we had to start with the first distress sign.
The few of us began to carry all the rocks we could find to the open area by the sea, which, of course, I alone carried eighty percent of the load. It took me nearly an hour to carry the big rocks, and after about an hour we laid out a "SOS" sign on the rocks on the beach, but the stones were so light that the rescuers in the air might not be able to see it. Luckily, there were a lot of seaweed here, and I jumped into the water and pulled up a lot of them, covering the rocks with this dark green stuff.
Later, Zhou Qiqi suggested that we carve some information on top of the stone and inform the others about the location of our cave so that the other survivors could come and join us. However, I rejected them immediately because the reason was very simple.
I quickly set a rule for them, and that is that the cave we are hiding in must not be exposed. If we want to meet up with the other survivors, we have to find them.
After a bit of discussion, we decided to travel back and forth in the forest. Not only would it be difficult to find, but there was also the possibility of encountering berserk beasts. Thus, we decided to first find a high vantage point to observe our surroundings.
The Little Rock Mountain that we were hiding in earlier definitely could not work. Its height was very limited, it was not even as high as some towering trees.
From our position by the sea, we could see a small mountain protruding from behind the trees. We decided to climb it first.
Fortunately, the forest here is already sparse. Since we were previously submerged by the sea water and the vegetation density is limited, even though we don't wear much clothes, we aren't too worried about our skin being torn.
After about 20 minutes, we arrived at the foot of the small mountain. The mountain wasn't that steep, and it was like a giant umbrella cover was resting on the ground.
In addition, I also broke down a few thick branches at the foot of the mountain to help them climb the mountain.
When we were ready, we started toward the top of the hill.
After only a few steps, I realized that we weren't the first people to climb this mountain. Along the way, besides the scattered footprints, I could also see many pieces of food packaging and even a few empty cans.
I immediately collected all of these jars. I thought to myself that these survivors probably haven't understood our current situation. These jars and bottles will all be treasures in the future.
They climbed to the peak without a hitch. The peak was quite open and could accommodate dozens of large pickup trucks at the same time. The cool breeze blew gently from the top and carried along with it the fragrant smell of grass.
"Hmm?"
This kind of air was impossible to breathe in a city.
The few of us began to look around from the summit.
