"Ceramic pots can hold water, but be sure not to carry water with them, because the ceramic material is fragile and cannot bear too much weight."
"What kind of ceramic pot can carry water?"
"We need to find higher quality clay, and build a kiln that can reach the highest temperature!"
"Can we make sand pots?"
"We don't have the right conditions yet. When we find a stable camp, I will teach everyone how to make sand pots! I'm really looking forward to it. With sand pots we can have hot pot!"
"Hot pot with bear meat?"
"Never mind, forget I said that!"
"Lu Zhe, look at this cute little rabbit I made!"
"Don't mess around, I know that's Godzilla."
"I'm going to bite you!"
...
The development of ceramics has opened up a new world for the girls!
In recent days, the girls have been enthusiastically participating, making not only bowls and plates, but also a large number of weird and wonderful things!
Mice, dumbbells, flying saucers, Snow White... Ning Shu even wanted to sincerely make Lu Zhe a airplane cup with a jar and bear meat to reward Lu Zhe for making sanitary pads for the girls.
But Lu Zhe understood this was just to satisfy the girls' curiosity and add some fun to the boring island life.
In fact, most of the ceramic artwork was useless and couldn't be taken away.
Lately, he felt that the water seeping from the ground was starting to taste a little salty. The water from the rock cracks was no longer enough to meet their daily needs!
They needed to find a new camp soon.
And once they moved, the whole group would have to hike through the jungle, with no way to carry too many things, so a lot of necessities would have to be left behind here.
July 1st, the 22nd day stranded on the deserted island, and also the 3rd day camped at the foot of the mountain.
On this day, Lu Zhe finally found a way up the mountain!
It was a crevice.
This crevice was 3-4 meters wide at its broadest point, and less than half a meter at its narrowest. It was 4-5 meters to over 10 meters deep, extending from the foot of the cliff all the way to the top!
Lu Zhe judged that it must have been caused by an earthquake long ago.
Because now the crevice was overgrown with vegetation.
Some trees grew out of the gap, already lush and leafy, even with bird nests.
Not only was there vegetation in the crevice, there were also protruding rocks and tiny cracks, which could all serve as footholds for climbing up.
Climbing in the crevice.
Not bad!
If you got tired while climbing, you could sit on a tree and rest for a while. Even if you slipped and fell, you would be caught by the trees below.
With no normal mountain path, this was the best climbing spot!
Just be careful of venomous creatures that could easily hide there like snakes, rats, ants etc.
But should he climb today?
Lu Zhe looked at his watch, it was getting a bit late already.
He decided to come back tomorrow morning and bring one of the girls to climb from here to the mountain top.
The best choice was of course Shen Bing.
According to her, she used to be a rock climbing enthusiast. Although her skill level was mediocre, she was still much better than the four college students.
Early morning on July 4th, the temperature was not high, it should be good weather for climbing!
Lu Zhe brought Shen Bing lightly equipped to the cliff crevice.
"Later we will climb up from here, reach the mountain top, then observe the whole small island from the top, map the island, mark properly, in order to find a better campsite."
He expected Shen Bing to casually agree, but unexpectedly she hesitated.
"Lu Zhe, there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Lu Zhe... I... probably can't climb this."
"Is it your period?"
Shen Bing pursed her lips and shook her head. "Lu Zhe, I might be... pregnant."
Lu Zhe's jaws dropped. "Pregnant? With a child?"
"Mm!"
"Whose... whose is it?" Lu Zhe asked in shock.
Shen Bing gave him a deep look and sighed. "What do you think?"
At that moment, Lu Zhe's mind went blank!
But soon, he made himself calm down!
"Are you sure?"
"Around 80% sure. My period is almost a week late, which has never happened before, and I can feel changes in my body."
"What are you planning to do?"
"I don't know, I want to hear your opinion..."
Lu Zhe was in no mood to keep climbing the mountain. He found a rock to sit on and started thinking about the consequences of this matter and countermeasures.
The survival guidebook had no information about dealing with this kind of problem. Whether she gave birth or had an abortion, Shen Bing would face tremendous danger!
In his mind, he simulated many possible situations and outcomes. And just then, something even more unexpected happened.
A bean-sized raindrop fell on his arm!
Rain?
It was actually rainwater?
He looked up and was shocked to find that at some point, the sun had hidden itself behind the clouds. The shadows swallowed up the bright areas at a speed of 20 meters per second!
The sunny morning had turned into dusk in an instant!
This sudden change in weather was unexpected for everyone!
Was it a good or bad thing?
It was hard to judge for now!
"Let's go, back to camp!"
"Okay!"
But before they reached the camp, the raindrops grew more and more dense, eventually pouring down steadily.
The long awaited rain since being stranded had finally arrived unexpectedly!
Should they celebrate?
For Lu Zhe, yes.
It was like a narrow escape from death!
Just imagine!
If he and Shen Bing had climbed halfway up the mountain today, stuck between going up or down, and then this heavy rain poured down, what kind of situation would they be facing?
Unexpectedly, the news of Shen Bing's pregnancy caused Lu Zhe to lose interest in climbing the mountain, which unintentionally saved them this time.
At the camp, the four girls busily started cleaning up.
"The tools are all packed up, the ceramic containers are also set up to collect water!"
"The food here is also packed up!"
"The bear skin will be packed up soon..."
"Oh no, the fire is doused by the rain, and it's raining harder and harder..."
"Wait!" Ning Shu suddenly thought of a frightening problem: "Lu Zhe and Sis Shen!"
Jiang Yao turned pale. "That's right, they should still be halfway up the mountain, how can they get down!"
Lin Qianqian covered her mouth in fright.
Tang Xiaoguo immediately discarded what was in her hands. "I'm going to rescue my Lu Zhe!"
She turned around and bumped right into Lu Zhe!
Lu Zhe felt somewhat moved in his heart. "Xiaoguo, it's enough that you have this intention."
As soon as Tang Xiaoguo saw it was Lu Zhe, she hugged him and burst into tears.
The other girls also gathered around, each one drenched like a drowned rat!
Seeing Lu Zhe and Shen Bing return safely, Ning Shu let out a long breath. "Let's hurry and get into the shelter, everyone!"
Lu Zhe looked around at the situation. "What shelter, let's get out of here!"
Shen Bing agreed. "What Lu Zhe said is right. We're at the foot of the mountain. Because of the underground water we were forced to camp here, but when it rains this place is extremely dangerous!"
Ning Shu panted for breath. "Then where should we run to?"
Jiang Yao looked worried. "No matter which direction we run, we can't get out of this jungle!"
Lu Zhe nodded. What Jiang Yao said was right. No matter which direction they ran in this huge jungle, they couldn't get out!
The jungle was exceptionally dangerous in heavy rain!
Landslides, quagmires, cold, turbulent water flows!
Any one of those could cost a life!
Now, the only safest place was that one.
"The bear cave, let's go to the bear cave!"

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
