The campfire had become the brightest light source!
It brought warmth and comfort to everyone's hearts!
I dare not imagine what kind of night they would have faced if they had not been able to light a fire at this time!
And the snake meat was also roasted to perfection, giving off a tempting aroma!
"Dinner is ready, let's eat!"
"I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"
"I wish it wasn't snake meat..."
Lu Zhe used a stick to pick up the seaweed-wrapped snake and placed it on a clean rock!
At this time, the seaweed had been roasted into a crispy skin state, and the saltiness from the surface had also soaked into the snake meat!
It smelled amazing!
Lu Zhe peeled off a piece of roasted seaweed and chewed it in his mouth, making a "crunch crunch" sound!
"It's so fragrant, it seems I have talent for being a chef. Do you guys want to try it?"
The four girls looked at each other and each took a small piece and put it in their mouths to chew!
Then, each of them made a pleasantly surprised compliment: "Wow, this is...too delicious!"
"This is just seaweed, you haven't eaten the snake meat yet!"
"But that's a poisonous snake..."
"Haven't you heard the saying that the more venomous the snake, the better it tastes! This cobra is a premium delicacy among snakes!"
"Oh..." Lin Qianqian hurriedly took out her small notebook to write it down.
Lu Zhe peeled open the seaweed, and the tender snake meat inside was perfectly cooked, emitting heat, white and tender and soft!
He scraped off a piece of meat, hot to the touch!
He blew on it and put it in his mouth!
Then with a spicy stick and some fishy vegetable!
"Mmm...this flavor is amazing!"
The girls were a little reluctant to try the snake meat at first, but they couldn't resist Lu Zhe's tasting effect and the aroma brought by the snake meat itself. They carefully picked up a little piece and put it in their mouths!
At this moment, everyone let out a scream of happiness!
A snake, a sheet of seaweed, a handful of fishy vegetables, a bag of spicy sticks, 1500ml of fresh water, became the first dinner for five people stranded on a deserted island!
Delicious food, warm campfire, it felt more like an outdoor camping trip with good friends, and there was even a hint of happiness!
But Lu Zhe knew that this was just the beginning. If the rescue team does not come, they will face even more severe survival challenges ahead!
After eating the snake and seaweed, it gave everyone some sense of fullness!
Lin Qianqian asked, "Lu Zhe, can hermit crabs be eaten?"
Lu Zhe picked up a small hermit crab, and information about hermit crabs popped up in his mind. He directly explained:
“The buttocks meat of hermit crabs can be eaten, but it has a fishy smell. And the ones you caught are too small! The energy they provide is not enough to digest them, so I don't recommend eating them!"
Jiang Yao curiously picked up a hermit crab and smelled it, disgustedly threw it away: “It really doesn’t smell very good, like a toilet!”
Thinking of the scene of hermit crabs eating poop, Tang Xiaoguo covered her little mouth and retched!
Ning Shu was a little curious: "Lu Zhe, how do you know so much weird knowledge?"
Of course, Lu Zhe could not tell them that it was his system that gave the popular science. He casually lied: "When I was young, I often read '100,000 Whys'. When I grew up, I watched survival shows. Naturally, I understand a little more!"
Tang Xiaoguo nodded and said, "Just like our monitor. She always reads rotten girls' novels, so she even knows boys' weird preferences!"
Ning Shu said angrily: "It’s pure literature! I'm not some rotten girl! And Qianqian also reads novels often! By the way Qianqian, what kind of novels do you read?"
Lin Qianqian thought about it and randomly cited a few: "I read things like Heavy Sleep, Like a Dream Order, and some warm novels like Heart Throbbing For You."
Ning Shu was surprised: “Huh? Those seem to be... yuri novels!"
Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo were surprised together: “Yuri novels?"
Lin Qianqian was a little panicked and whispered to defend herself: “So the type of books you read doesn't represent the reader is like that too!"
Ning Shu nodded: "That makes sense too. I occasionally read them too!"
Then she asked Lu Zhe: "Lu Zhe, what are you most concerned about now?"
Lu Zhe thought about it and uttered two words: "Temperature!"
Speaking of coincidences, as soon as he said these two words, Ning Shu happened to sneeze!
Psychological suggestion?
No!
The other three girls also felt it. The temperature was starting to get cold now!
Jiang Yao hugged her shoulders: “I didn't notice until you mentioned it. Why is it suddenly...so cold?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "The day and night temperature difference on the island is too big!"
Ning Shu complained: “Isn’t the place we’re in the tropics? Even if the temperature difference is big, it shouldn’t be this cold, right!"
Lu Zhe didn’t know the reason either, but he guessed a result: “Maybe there are alternating cold and warm currents flowing past near this island!”
Looking at the messy campfire blown by the wind, Lin Qianqian added: “The convergence of different temperatures can also cause faster air circulation, so the wind at night is greater too!"
Jiang Yao said, "What should we do?"
Tang Xiaoguo hugged herself: “We’ll definitely catch a cold tomorrow!"
Lu Zhe looked at his watch, it was already 8 pm!
He said in a deep voice: "Usually at this time, we would either be lying on the sofa playing with our phones or going over test papers!
But now, we must work together to deal with the cold night!"
"How do we deal with it?" Ning Shu asked. “Build a shelter now?"
"It's too late!"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "Even if we had time, we have consumed a lot of energy today for food, fresh water and fire. It would be hard to have the strength to build a shelter now! We can only do basic coping!"
"Lu Zhe, tell us!"
Lu Zhe wanted to gather some firewood to expand the campfire and provide more heat!
But looking at the pitch-black jungle, he got cold feet!
Going into the woods alone in the middle of the night was too dangerous. Bringing a girl would only slow him down!
There was no way, he had to give up!
At this time, the system sent another task: “New task: make effective cold-proof shelter to get through the cold night!
Check the survival manual. The method given in the manual is to boil water to make hot water bottles."
Suddenly, Lu Zhe’s eyes lit up!
“There’s a way!”
Ning Shu asked: “What way?”
"The sand on the ground is cool, but the sand near the campfire is hot!"
Jiang Yao said: “But we can’t stay very close to the campfire, right?"
Tang Xiaoguo also said: “Even if we stay next to the campfire, we can only warm our hands and feet. Our bodies will still be cold!"
"Okay listen to me finish!"
Lu Zhe went on: “There are a total of three steps to this. Each step is not very difficult to actually implement. But I need everyone's unconditional cooperation!"
The girls looked at each other and nodded.
“The first step is to dig a sand pit. You can sleep in the sand pit with broad leaves stuck around to block the sea breeze!"
Ning Shu nodded: "Digging pits in the sand is not very difficult! Sticking broad leaves is also simple. What's next?"
"The pebbles dug out can be heated in the campfire!"
Tang Xiaoguo was puzzled: “Heat up rocks? Aren’t we the ones who are cold?"
"That's right, but we need to use the stones to keep warm!"
Lin Qianqian nodded, I understand
"Isn't the third step to lay a layer of heated stones in the sandpit? So the temperature in the sandpit will be higher than outside!"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "No, if scattered like this, the heat will dissipate quickly!"
Jiang Yao asked: “Then what should we do?"
"We can fill used cans with seawater, then put the heated pebbles into the cans to heat up the seawater!"
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
