Indeed, without modern means of communication in the wilderness, it was so hard to get news from companions after separating. The slightest carelessness could lead to missing each other. This may not have been too hard for ancient people who never had phones, but for these college students who had experienced modern telecommunications in life, not getting messages from loved ones was like a fate worse than death.
Especially Qian Qian!
The gentle and beautiful girl always cared about every person she liked.
But the biggest problem with bringing her along was whether she could withstand the tossing and turning on the sea.
And looking at the situation of this voyage, the raft was steady as a rock. Even when swaying violently, it was just like a child's rocking chair.
As a result, Tang Xiaoguo kept singing along the way: "My dad's dad is grandpa..."
Everything has its pros and cons!
After carefully weighing, Lu Zhe said, "We can consider taking action together, but we must also take security measures for the camp!"
Tang Xiaoguo said, "We won't be there, who are we protecting it for?"
Jiang Yao said, "The cows!"
Looking at the still shocked Sea Swallow and Yong Qiang not far away, Ning Shu said, "Untie the ropes they're tied to. When there's danger, they can run away directly. They have some emotional attachment to us. When we come back, they should come back too, right?"
"What if they don't come back?"
"Then we'll catch them back!"
Qian Qian was a little worried: "But the seedlings behind the cattle shed need watering, don't they?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "That's a problem! But don't worry too much. We can make bottles, fill them with water, poke a small hole in the cap, and tighten it. Then dig a small pit next to the plant, and bury the bottle upside down. The water will slowly seep out from the small hole and replenish the roots."
Shen Bing nodded: "I know this. It's used for desert greening. Each plant has a drip bottle. It is said to reduce loss by 90%!"
"What about the beehives?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhe said, "We need to build a fence to enclose them, and also apply some devil's pepper powder on the fence to prevent the Malayan bears from sneaking in to steal honey."
Ning Shu said, "What else? Stirring up painful memories for the bears?"
Tang Xiaoguo nodded: "You're right!"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment: "The rest of the things are not easily damaged. We just need to put out some food outside, sprinkle some devil's pepper powder. Even if monkey troops come, they will probably fall on the spot."
Before they realized it, the most difficult problems seemed to be solved.
Shen Bing nodded: "I was very worried about you going out to sea. It's better if we all go together."
"In that case, let's tentatively decide to go together! But the raft needs further improvements to make it more stable."
Qian Qian was extremely happy: "That's awesome!"
Shen Bing asked with concern: "But even if Qian Qian can go, how are you, little Ning?"
Ning Shu grinned breezily: "Me? My legs just hurt a little bit, but I'm sure they'll be fine before long! Besides, on the raft I don't even need to stand, anyone can sit there!"
Jiang Yao nodded: "Actually standing is no big deal either. Think of those great pirate captains, many of them missing an eye, wearing black eye patches! Missing a leg, but having a stiff hammer in place of the thigh.
Tang Xiaoguo said happily: "Although crippled, it's super cool!"
Ning Shu said helplessly: "Xiaoguo, why don't you try chopping off a pretty little leg first and giving it to Qian Qian?"
Tang Xiaoguo and Qian Qian yelled in unison: "No!"
Shen Bing said: "Anyway, if Qian Qian is going, little Ning must go too!"
Ning Shu said: "Then shouldn't we prepare more food and fresh water?!"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhe said: "With this raft's load capacity, bringing enough food, we could drift on the sea for a week without worrying about lack of food and water causing harm."
"When do we set off?"
"This afternoon we'll fix up the camp a bit! At 8 am tomorrow, we'll depart!"
Tang Xiaoguo said happily: "Awesome!"
Jiang Yao also said, "What are we waiting for, let's go build the fence together!"
Qian Qian said, "Take me too!"
The three girls ran off to build a fence for the bees, leaving only Lu Zhe, Shen Bing, and the injured Ning Shu at the camp.
Lu Zhe asked Shen Bing again: "You've had flight attendant training, so you know more about planes than us. Where do you think I should start searching?"
Shen Bing took out a notebook: "If possible, it's best if you can land on the side of the plane, then feel your way to the bottom to see if there are any damaged parts. If there are, and the damaged area is big enough, you can directly crawl into the cargo hold."
Lu Zhe nodded: "What if I don't find any damage?"
Shen Bing thought for a moment: "If not, then you'll have to create an opening. Otherwise there will be tremendous pressure differences and we won't be able to open the door from outside!"
Then Shen Bing drew diagrams in her notebook, teaching Lu Zhe how to open various cabin doors.
"Don't try to open the cabin door on the side. The cargo hold is at the rear of the plane. If possible, get all the suitcases in there."
Ning Shu thought for a moment: "When going once, should we take anything else from the plane back too?"
Shen Bing shook her head: "That day, the cargo hold had more than forty large and small parcels. Our raft may not be able to take them all at once, let alone anything else!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Also, lacking the necessary tools, we can't remove any components!"
Lu Zhe thought again and said, "However, if we succeed in getting supplies the first time, we can come back later, after making tools, and dismantling will be much easier!"
Ning Shu nodded: "Yeah, that works too!"
After the planning discussion, Lu Zhe started preparing for the second voyage!
He continued collecting potassium nitrate, charcoal, and filled more fresh water and food.
On both sides of the raft, he added two more bundles of bamboo, increasing buoyancy, and also as spare material for repairs.
August 23!
The 75th day stranded on the deserted island, Tuesday!
The six companions prepared everything and boarded the raft, gazing at the unknown distance, each filled with excitement and anticipation!
Airplane buddy, here we come...
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
