At that moment, Lin Qianqian, Jiang Yao, and Tang Xiaoguo came running over with big and small packages in their hands, followed by a strange wolf trotting behind them.
Under the assault of the big wind, everyone looked somewhat disheveled, especially Tang Xiaoguo, who was afraid of being blown away and was holding a heavy rock.
"Sister Bing, class monitor..."
"Ah! It's them..."
"Hey, over here!"
The three girls excitedly cried out when they saw Shen Bing and Ning Shu!
"You guys, you're really still alive!"
"Yes! Yes!"
A small reunion after a long separation. One group was worried sick, another group had a narrow escape from death. The few girlfriends excitedly hugged each other!
"Where's Sister Bing?"
"Huh, what happened to Sister Bing?"
Everyone noticed that Shen Bing was behaving somewhat abnormally.
"Uh...she was fine before, she must have received some shock! Sister Bing, Sister Bing..."
Shen Bing was in a daze and did not respond.
"Maybe she'll get better in a while."
"I see!"
Ning Shu wiped away another tear: "Lu Zhe, Sister Bing, she..."
Lu Zhe hurried over and gently patted Shen Bing's face: "Hey, Sister Bing, Sister Bing..."
No response?
"Did you guys eat some weird mushrooms again?"
"No!"
"A big rain might come soon, we need to quickly move Sister Bing and our supplies to a safe place, and slowly wake her up afterward."
So now, where was the safest place?
The cave!
Although it was not big, and it was full of packages!
But it was sheltered from the rain and wind. As long as the entrance was blocked, this would be the safest place on the entire island.
Lu Zhe carried the 98-pound Shen Bing on his back and brought her into the stone house.
"Xiaoguo, take care of Sister Bing first. The rest come with me to move the supplies!"
"Okay!"
Despite the urgent situation and looming danger, everyone felt a sense of security with Lu Zhe.
The space in the stone house was already very full, hardly anything else could fit.
Some of the suitcases and backpacks from the firewood room and cattle shed were moved into the tree house, some were tied securely with ropes onto the hammocks.
At least they were off the ground!
But there were still important things that needed to be placed!
Next to the overturned cattle shed, the fruit saplings had grown quite a bit!
If not for the meticulous care from before, they would have died long ago.
But now, hoping they could withstand this storm on their own would be wishful thinking.
Lu Zhe hurriedly dug out the saplings, roots and soil included, and placed them in plastic bags, then put those in the large trash can!
Cover it with a lid first, secure it under a tree. Once they make it through this storm, transplanting them at the volcano bottom would ensure their prosperity.
It was also at this time that torrential rain arrived without warning!
The wind from the ocean surface brought moisture, as well as a trace of long-absent coolness.
Lu Zhe and the girls were instantly drenched like drowned rats!
"Hurry up and come up!" Tang Xiaoguo yelled from inside the cave. The wind instantly blew into her throat, causing her to cough incessantly!
"Let's go, we should also go to the cave!"
"With so many people..."
"There's probably only 1 square meter of room to move around!"
"We can all stand!"
"We still can't squeeze six people into one square meter even if we stand!"
"Do you understand public buses?"
"What about public buses?"
"Public transit companies stipulate that no matter how crowded, as long as there are less than eight people standing in one square meter, it does not count as overcrowded!"
"That's nonsense, no company could be so heartless with that kind of rule..."
"It's true!"
"So we can try it, see if we can squeeze our six people into the space of one square meter!"
There was a loud thunderclap, striking the beach about 200 meters away. It frightened the sun bear into shrieking "roar, roar!"
"Hurry up then!"
Everyone crawled into the cave. It was truly as cramped as a two-dimensional space.
"The bear and dog are still outside."
"Let them roam freely. No matter how big the storm, it won't cause any casualties to those adorable wild animals. So, bravely face the storm!"
Then, Lu Zhe began constructing the "door"!
The so-called door was using large broken rocks to build up the entrance, then stuffing the gaps with plastic cloth. Although there were still gaps with wind whistling through, at the very least they had a place to stay.
The cave was dark. Although not pitch black that you couldn't see your fingers, you could barely make out who was who among your companions!
The sounds of wind and rain outside grew louder and louder. The heavy raindrops crackled against the stone wall, splashing up sprays of water.
From the forest, faint cries of animals fleeing could be heard.
Lu Zhe estimated that this rain was destined not to let up, and could even be comparable to the torrential rain at the end of the previous dry season.
In the pitch black stone house, only Shen Bing was sitting on a suitcase while the rest stood, making it very crammed!
But the joy of reuniting after a long separation temporarily made them forget about the predicament they were in.
"How's Sister Bing?"
"Still silly and motionless?"
"What exactly happened?!"
Ning Shu worriedly said: "What should we do next?"
Lin Qianqian said: "Light a fire?"
Jiang Yao sighed: "There's not even space to stand here, where can we light a fire?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "That's right, it's too narrow here now. There really isn't any place for a fire, not even a brazier would fit!"
Ning Shu pondered: "Then, do we have to keep standing like this until the end of rainy season?"
"No need! Give me a minute to think!" After pondering for a bit, Lu Zhe took off his backpack and brought out his tools.
Chisel, hammer, wedges as well.
"I was too rushed trying to get batteries before, delaying the carving of the stone house. Otherwise we wouldn't be in such an awkward state. But no matter, I can continue carving inward, expanding the space of the cave. You guys be responsible for throwing the stone fragments out."
"But it's so dark. Can you do it without light?"
"No problem..." Lu Zhe said in a low voice: "Yao Yao, Xiaoguo, you two keep talking to Sister Bing! Class monitor and Qianqian, you two help me expand the interior."
"Got it!"
The few companions carefully changed positions. Then Lu Zhe started his "clang clang banging" stonemason mode again!
The sparks spraying out from the chisel brought some light into the cave.
Large and small stone fragments clattered down, quickly piling into a small hill.
Deal with it!
Opening the entrance let the furious wind blast inside. Outside was pitch black.
Impossible to tell if it was day or night!
Ning Shu and Lin Qianqian hurriedly threw all the stone fragments outside and continued carving!
After continuously carving for five hours, the cave finally expanded by another square meter.
Barely considered to have two square meters of room.
Eating some dried meat, berries and vegetables barely made do for dinner.
But Shen Bing still showed no signs of improving!
"Sister Bing, Sister Bing..." Lu Zhe softly called out.
Hearing Lu Zhe's voice, Shen Bing still did not respond.
This made Lu Zhe somewhat worried!
He gently stroked Shen Bing's face: "Wake up, dear!"
Upon hearing the three words "dear", Shen Bing lifted her head slightly.
Lu Zhe noticed it. So did the girls:
"Sister Bing responded to Lu Zhe's words!"
"What did you say, Lu Zhe?"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment: "I only said: Wake up, dear..."
