Everything was ready!
But there was still one thing that had no solution!
That was Lin Qianqian who still hadn't pooped!
This had become a huge difficult problem that bothered everyone!
Several girlfriends were anxious, and even tried to push on a swing, using centrifugal force to help Lin Qianqian finish, but ultimately failed!
Tang Xiaoguo was even drenched in poop, and screamed for a whole morning!
The embarrassed Lin Qianqian wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
Lu Zhe looked at his watch, it was already four thirty, half an hour later than previously expected!
"We can't wait any longer, we have to set off now."
"What if Lin Qianqian needs to use the bathroom?"
"She'll have to go on the raft!"
"Okay, as long as she can poop, anywhere is fine!"
After discussing, everyone decided to leave now!
"Because the class president and Jiang Yao have mobility issues, everyone needs to get on the bamboo raft here, then paddle around Egg Yolk Island to the other side, then go straight to Volcano Island from there!"
"Okay!"
"Everyone check if there's any supplies we didn't bring!"
"Take down the swing, don't forget that!"
"What about the fishing net stockings and mousetraps?"
"The fishing net was already taken apart!"
"The leather case for the mousetraps was also taken off!"
"Hey hey, there's one less sweet potato leaf again?"
"We're out of tissues, I used one this morning to wipe Lin Qianqian's butt, you did say sweet potato leaves were safe..."
"Damn it? You guys are so wasteful...eh? Wipe her butt? Did the seeds come out?"
"No, she's still constipated!"
"Ah forget it, how many bottles did we bring?"
"Thirty six, should be enough right!"
"Yeah!"
"What about fire starters?"
"Burning charcoal put in an iron can, then packed tight with wood chips, can last two hours! Jiang Yao watches the fire, if it goes out, we're collectively screwed!"
"Awesome!"
Everything was ready!
The five companions sat on the bamboo raft, looking at what used to be their campsite, with a hint of sadness in their eyes!
No matter what, this small camp had strengthened their friendship, and also gave everyone hope to survive!
"Goodbye, our campsite!"
"Goodbye, Egg Yolk Island!"
"Goodbye, swing toilet..."
Lu Zhe and Jiang Yao sat at two sides of the bamboo raft, sliding the wooden paddles, slowly moving the raft!
Half an hour later, they went around the other side of the small island!
On the island, there was still the distress signal Lu Zhe and Ning Shu had left before!
In the distance, the silhouette of Volcano Island could vaguely be seen!
"Look, that's it!"
Ning Shu excitedly pointed!
"There must be endless coconut juice there!"
"Streams, creeks, we can even take freshwater baths!"
"Really looking forward to it!"
The few girls looked out, curiosity and anticipation written all over their faces!
As they chatted, they happily paddled against the ocean current towards Volcano Island!
"Let's pick up the oars, and push open the waves, the sea reflecting the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls..."
As the girls paddled, they sang sweet melodies in unison!
Before they knew it, they had left the continental shelf!
The bamboo raft drifted alone and tiny in the vast ocean!
All around was the deep blue seawater, giving them an oppressive feeling.
At least singing relieved some of the fear everyone felt!
After singing for awhile, Jiang Yao looked out into the distance:
"At this rate we probably won't reach Volcano Island before dark..."
Lin Qianqian nodded: "Because we can't see the whole thing, we don't know the height, so we can't accurately calculate the distance!"
Lu Zhe said: "The elevation of such ocean islands rarely exceeds 200 meters. Calculating with 200 meters, we can reach our destination in 4 hours maximum! The fastest is 2 hours!"
He sounded confident, but was actually unsure inside too. What if the highest point of this island exceeded 200 meters, then they'd have to paddle much longer.
Tang Xiaoguo said: "Then it'll be night time already..."
Lu Zhe consoled: "Arriving at night has its own advantages, at least it won't be scorching hot..."
"Whoosh!" A black shadow leisurely passed under the bamboo raft, and Lu Zhe's heart skipped a beat!
At this time, the few girls were still chatting casually, completely unaware of the mysterious visitor!
Shark?
He didn't tell the girls, only warned everyone not to play in the water, and to paddle evenly!
He understood that a shark's perceptions were extremely sensitive. Any hint of panic from you, and they can sense it, immediately arousing its predatory instincts. But as long as they maintained a certain paddling speed and rhythm, the predators generally wouldn't disturb them!
Gradually he noticed more and more circling black shadows under the water surface, just this stretch of sea had no less than 30 to 50!
It was unimaginable that if these dozens attacked the bamboo raft together, what would be the result!
But just then, an accident happened!
Lin Qianqian's brows furrowed: "I...I have to..."
Tang Xiaoguo was puzzled: "Have to what?"
Jiang Yao said: "Idiot, what else but pooping!"
Ning Shu smirked: "How convenient, poop straight into the ocean, give an offering to those marine creatures!"
Lu Zhe decisively said: "No!"
"Why?"
Jiang Yao said: "Idiot, obviously we have to collect seeds!"
"This is not about seeds anymore!" Lu Zhe knew that hiding the truth any longer could cause chaos, so he said: "There are sharks in the water, human waste will attract them to attack our bamboo raft!"
"They'll eat us!"
"No need to worry too much about that, we're not on their menu, they won't usually eat us."
The girls breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Zhe added another sentence:
"They'll just bite us to death out of curiosity."
"Ahhh?!"
Seeing the circling black shadows in the water, the girls turned pale with fright!
Jiang Yao gasped: "Good god, this is a shark den..."
Tang Xiaoguo worried: "Are they waiting to eat us?!"
"Don't panic, they usually don't eat us, but you never know"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "Don't worry, from the way they're swimming they seem to be resting, we just need to stay calm, slowly paddle, they normally won't attack us recklessly!"
Lin Qianqian frowned: "I...I can't hold it anymore..."
"Can't hold your poop anymore huh?"
Lin Qianqian nodded.
At that moment, Lu Zhe's mind raced and came up with a weird idea!
"It's like how horses pulling a farmer's carriage have a bag tied behind to catch their poop!"
"Did I hear that right!"
"Isn't that totally embarrassing?!"
"But safest!"
The refusal was written all over Lin Qianqian's face, but it was useless!
Tang Xiaoguo and Ning Shu looked at each other: "Let's just do that!"
The two girls put a plastic bag over Lin Qianqian's leg!
Tang Xiaoguo said: "Come on Qianqian!"
Ning Shu said: "Don't worry, Lu Zhe can't see!"
Lin Qianqian looked at the shabby plastic bag, her toes silently carving out a three room apartment!
