Alcohol was very scarce on this deserted island, so Luo Jun didn't use alcohol to wipe the bloodstains off Jenny's body.
Instead, he soaked a piece of gauze in bamboo sap and helped her wipe away the bloodstains on her legs.
Jenny's white summer dress had turned red, and as she lay in the shelter, the hem of her dress was pulled up, revealing a scene Luo Jun shouldn't have seen.
"Where are your safety shorts?" Luo Jun asked, and as he spoke, Li Shi looked at him awkwardly, as if asking why a grown man would care about such things.
Luo Jun had to explain, "This is a deserted island, unlike a normal environment. If you don't wear safety shorts, it's easy for some sand or blood-sucking bugs to crawl into your body, which is very dangerous."
Li Shi lowered her head in embarrassment.
Jenny awkwardly said, "I washed them last night, but I didn't have time to put them on before this happened."
Luo Jun wiped his forehead and looked at the three women. They were dressed lightly, and he felt deeply concerned.
He regretted not having enough time to grab those thick clothes when they were escaping.
He was well aware of how important clothing was for people on a deserted island. Other things could be replaced, but clothes couldn't be made, and the weather would only get colder.
At this latitude and in this cold current, it would definitely snow during winter.
It was already early winter, and the temperature had dropped significantly. They didn't have much time left.
Luo Jun felt anxious in his heart, but the three women didn't realize the severity of these issues at all.
"Listen carefully, while I go back to the beach where we landed and bring back the life raft and waterproof cloth, the three of you must stay here and not wander around. If you see any danger, hide until I come back!"
Luo Jun said solemnly to the three women.
"But how will you find us when you come back if we're hiding?" Li Shi asked.
Luo Jun was satisfied with Li Shi's reaction.
"When I come back, I will place a stone on top of the rocks ahead. When you see the stone, come back to the shelter," Luo Jun replied.
"Luo Jun, please be careful," Lorna held Luo Jun's hand and said.
"Yeah, while there's still time, I'll leave right away. I should be able to make it back before it gets dark."
Luo Jun said as he was about to leave. Lorna hugged Luo Jun's neck and gave him a deep kiss on the lips.
"Take this roasted fish with you, otherwise, you won't have the energy to walk," Lorna handed the roasted fish to Luo Jun.
Luo Jun nodded. He definitely needed the protein; otherwise, it would greatly affect his movements.
Luo Jun got up and left. He still didn't go to dig out the sniper rifle. For him, carrying that heavy weapon with his current physical condition would undoubtedly be a burden.
He only took two daggers and cut off a lot of vines in the woods to make camouflage clothing.
The straps on the soldier's helmet could be used to tie small branches, providing excellent camouflage for Luo Jun's head.
Luo Jun followed the path he had previously taken and returned to the beach where they had landed.
Luo Jun was extremely cautious along the way, but being cautious alone was not enough because there were some traps that were simply not easy to detect. In order to stay safe, Luo Jun chopped down a one and a half-meter-long tree branch to probe the path ahead.
The thickness of the branch was also carefully considered. The branch Luo Jun chopped was as thick as a child's arm. When he probed forward, it was inclined. Once a sharp stake trap was triggered, the powerful spring-loaded stakes would instantly strike the probing stick.
The angle formed between the probing stick and the ground was sufficient to defend against the tremendous impact. If the branch was not thick enough, it could easily snap and cause unavoidable injuries.
Luo Jun learned this method in the primitive tribes of the Amazon. With so many tribes in the forest, there were countless traps, and the people of other tribes couldn't be familiar with the trap locations of each tribe. When traveling or tracking prey, they had to resort to such means.
This was also the only, most effective, and convenient way to defend against sharp stake traps.
Two hours later, Luo Jun had returned to the beach.
He was very cautious to avoid falling into an enemy ambush. After observing the forest for a while, he finally discovered Jack's body. He lay by the bonfire, and the blood from his body had attracted many insects and small animals on the island, leaving various footprints on the surrounding beach.
Luo Jun examined those footprints and found no footprints other than Jenny's and Jack's.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Carefully moving forward, he found the makeshift shelter that Jack and the others had built last night. It was an extremely rudimentary shelter, or it couldn't even be called a shelter. They simply used some coconut leaves to cover the gaps between rocks, and they hid in the crevices of the rocks.
The life raft was laid inside as a makeshift bed.
They relied on waterproof fabric to keep warm through the night. If it weren't for the waterproof fabric, they might have frozen to death last night.
That's also why Luo Jun didn't take these things with him when he left with Lorna, so as not to let these two novices freeze to death by the seaside.
But he didn't expect that an accident still happened.
Luo Jun carefully walked over, deflated the life raft, and rolled it up, securing it.
The same went for the waterproof fabric.
After collecting these items, Luo Jun came to Jack's body and examined his wound. The wound was neat, as if it had been cut with a knife, about twenty centimeters wide.
The intestines were completely exposed.
In addition to that, Luo Jun also found other wounds on Jack's body, which looked like claw marks.
"Damn, could this guy have encountered that bear?"
Bears were incredibly powerful, and their claws were as sharp as daggers. They could easily slice open someone's abdomen.
Luo Jun took off Jack's intact jeans, then looked around and found Jenny's triangular safety pants hanging on a tree branch.
Luo Jun took it down and sniffed it. It had a scent of seawater, indicating that Jenny had washed it with seawater.
He put it in his pocket.
The weather was getting late, so Luo Jun retraced his steps. The return journey was faster than the way here, and he reached the vicinity of the shelter in just an hour and thirty minutes.
Three women were still hiding in the shelter.
The return of Luo Jun relieved their anxious hearts.
"Uncle, you're finally back," Li Shi walked over, and Lorna rushed out of the shelter to help Luo Jun with the things in his hands.
Luo Jun entered the shelter and took out a pair of small pants.
"These pants cannot be worn yet. If you wash them with unclean water, it might easily cause infections in your private area," Luo Jun said.
Upon hearing this, Lorna and Li Shi blushed. They had been washing their clothes with seawater, and now they were always feeling itchy. They felt embarrassed to scratch themselves in front of Luo Jun when he was around, but once he left, they scratched themselves frequently.
"What should we do then?" Jenny blushed and asked. Luo Jun smiled and said, "It's all right. We can use bamboo liquid to clean these pants. Li Shi, Lorna, you should also wash yourselves with clean water."
After saying that, Luo Jun got up and left to help Lorna and Li Shi take off the pants for cleaning.
They couldn't finish everything in such a short time. They would definitely not be able to wear the pants tonight.
For them, who were used to wearing skirts, the sea breeze at night would surely make them feel chilly. Fortunately, they had waterproof cloth to use as a blanket. Tonight wouldn't be too difficult for them. However, the shelter couldn't accommodate four people, so Luo Jun had to find a place to spend the night before it got dark, and tomorrow they would figure out a way to move to the other side of the creek.
