Ning Shu asked, "Isn't this flight attendant stranded on another small island?"
"It's possible!" After thinking carefully, Lu Zhe said, "Remember? The coconuts here most likely drifted over from that island! So the drift bottles probably drifted over from that island too."
"I didn't expect there to be other survivors besides us!"
"Being stranded alone on a deserted island is even more miserable than us!"
"But she has food, so her situation is much better than ours to begin with!"
Ning Shu thought for a moment: "Lu Zhe, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
Lu Zhe had actually been thinking about one issue all along!
And that was moving!
After all, the resources on the island they were on were too scarce, but according to the flight attendant's description, the resources on the other island were much more abundant!
Lu Zhe said in a deep voice, "Today, the class monitor and I climbed to the highest point on the small island and observed our location. We discovered that the freshwater resources here are extremely scarce! Not to mention planting, there's not even enough for daily drinking!"
Tang Xiaoguo said, "Ah, didn't you say there were several coconut trees?"
"The coconuts on those trees can sustain us for two weeks at most. What then after those two weeks? Rely solely on distilled water?"
The four girls nodded!
They understood that although they were still living alright for the time being, once the freshwater resources were exhausted, everyone would face the danger of dying from thirst!
Jiang Yao said, "So your meaning is... to go to that island?"
"Although it's somewhat troublesome, in order to survive, we must consider moving to a place with sustainable freshwater!"
Tang Xiaoguo said suspiciously, "Don't tell me it's because you saw the flight attendant is pretty!"
Lu Zhe deliberately said, "Yes, so what!"
Tang Xiaoguo angrily said: "Stinky Lu Zhe!"
Ning Shu said: "Alright, from a survival perspective, there's no issue with Lu Zhe's judgement. We can't live here long-term, so we should indeed consider moving!"
Jiang Yao and Lin Qianqian looked at each other and nodded as well.
Tang Xiaoguo said, "Since that's the case, are we setting off tonight or tomorrow?"
Lin Qianqian said, "Xiaoguo, we don't have a boat!"
Jiang Yao sighed: "Forget the boat, we don't even have a floatie!"
Ning Shu said, "Lu Zhe, what's your plan?"
The timing was right, so Lu Zhe spoke about his plan: "In the next five days, we need to build a sturdy raft and oars, prepare freshwater and food supplies, essential items, and sail against the ocean current to Volcano Island within seven days!"
The four girls thought about it and all agreed!
"So be it!"
Tang Xiaoguo said, "I'm so hungry!"
"Then let's eat first! We can discuss while eating!"
Jiang Yao roasted some coconut meat, Tang Xiaoguo cooked crab and kelp soup, and Lin Qianqian went to the beach to gather some clams and oysters!
It wasn't enough to fully satisfy their hunger, but it barely drove away the feeling of hunger!
Tang Xiaoguo sighed, "Eating roasted coconut meat every meal was fine initially, but now I feel nauseous just smelling that scent! We won't be stuck eating this long-term, right!"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "No! Remember the melon seeds we got today? If we go to Volcano Island and find suitable planting grounds, we can eat melons two to three months later!"
Jiang Yao asked, "Class monitor, have you completed that matter?"
Ning Shu nodded: "Although there were some minor complications midway, everything still went relatively smoothly!"
"We now have melon, watermelon, and strawberry seeds!"
Tang Xiaoguo said, "Speaking of which, Qianqian is the only one who hasn't completed her task yet, right!"
"That's right, it seems like since being stranded here until now, Qianqian is the only one who hasn't pooped yet!"
"Could it be constipation?"
"No... not that!"
Lin Qianqian's little face immediately turned red: "Everyone please don't worry... I'll... try my best..."
Counting the days, it was already the evening of the third day since being stranded on the deserted island!
Yet Qianqian still hadn't pooped!
Although no one said anything, they couldn't help feeling a little worried!
Perhaps constipation, or perhaps discomfort from being stranded that might get better tomorrow!
"Everyone get some good rest early tonight. We need to gather supplies and build the raft starting early tomorrow morning to prepare for the relocation plan!"
That night!
Everyone crawled into the shelter very early!
And now, because of the straw mats made by Qianqian and Jiang Yao, the comfort level had greatly improved!
Lu Zhe set the alarm on his watch to 5 am, then closed his eyes!
The comfortable shelter, the girls' body fragrance, gave Lu Zhe a high quality sleep until the alarm went off!
Lu Zhe stretched lazily, woke everyone up, then ran to the seaside to splash some seawater on his face!
The horizon was turning white, but there was still a chill in the air!
The few girls also crawled up!
"Classmates, without sufficient stamina, we won't be able to work efficiently, so the first order of business is making breakfast!"
Checking the traps, none of the three traps caught any mice!
Luckily, Xiaoguo's pantyhose net caught more than twenty small fish!
These small fish along with roasted coconut meat, coconut juice, and the last pack of spicy sticks, everyone ate a not very sumptuous breakfast!
Next, Lu Zhe began assigning tasks!
Tang Xiaoguo and Jiang Yao both had injured legs and couldn't travel far distances, so Lu Zhe gave them camp tasks:
"Xiaoguo, continue distilling freshwater!"
"Huh?" Tang Xiaoguo pouted, "This boring task again!"
"Xiaoguo, freshwater is an indispensable resource on a deserted island, and the usefulness of distilled water is incomparable to coconut water, so your task is very important!"
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoguo became happy again: "I see, then fine!"
"Jiang Yao, later I'll chop some banana leaves and stems, you'll need to help me separate and collect the barks to make twine to tie together the raft! Also, lunch duty is up to you and Xiaoguo!"
Jiang Yao made an "OK" gesture: "Leave it to us, deskmate!"
Tang Xiaoguo said, "My task is simple, so I'll make lunch later! And let you all have a taste of Miss Xiaoguo's cooking skills, it will be..."
She looked around: "Seems we're out of ingredients!"
"Let me finish!"
Lu Zhe continued:
"Class monitor and Qianqian, take the backpacks and plastic bags and go to the coconut forest on the west coast to continue gathering supplies! Whether it's bottles, torn clothes, slippers, coconuts, or seafood, gather as much as you can!
But be careful not to recklessly reach for coconuts that are too high up, avoid getting hurt from falling!
Also don't carry too much at one time, make multiple trips if need be!"
Ning Shu nodded and said, "If we come across seafood, Jiang Yao and I will prep it for cooking!"
"That's right!"
Lin Qianqian nodded: "No problem, why aren't you coming along with us Lu Zhe?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "After chopping banana trees, I still need to chop wood to make raft base with log sections, so I can't go with you guys!"
Ning Shu was a little worried: "So you'll be going into the woods alone?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "No choice! But I spotted some suitable girth trees near the southwest side of the camp!"
He didn't say some things!
Because although Ning Shu was washed, afterwards there was still an itchy sensation.
Lu Zhe wanted to help her find some medicinal herbs that could treat it on the side.
