In the forest, Luo Jun, whose whole body was drenched in dew, was on his way back. However, his clothes were completely waterproof, and the waterproof layer was designed in the middle of the fabric instead of the smooth waterproof fabric on the outer layer.
This exquisite craftsmanship was specially designed for snipers to move silently when lurking.
If it was an ordinary waterproof layer, there would be a loud friction sound from the clothes with every step, and that harsh, loud sound would undoubtedly be the death knell for the sniper.
In addition, with the ghillie suit on, Luo Jun moved quickly in the forest, almost like a furry black bear.
Although the black bear is huge, it moves silently. Often it approaches you from behind without you even noticing its existence, thanks to the thick padded paws on its four legs and the sound-absorbing bear fur on its body. The ghillie suit plays a similar role.
Luo Jun was on his way back, so he could save a lot of time. In less than two hours, Luo Jun had already returned to the shelter.
The women had got up early to make a fire and roast meat.
They seemed more cautious than usual, and they were not chatting endlessly. Instead, they got on with the work at hand.
Li Shi was cooking fish soup, while Lorna and Jenny were making marks on snakeskin, looking like they were going to make it into pants.
They were still missing a pair of pants. And in order to stay clean, it was necessary to make one or two more pairs of pants for everyone to change into. So they had to make one or two more pairs of pants for everyone to change into.
"Lorna, Li Shi, Jenny!"
Luo Jun called out their names when he was still twenty meters away.
Hearing Luo Jun's voice, they all turned their heads in the direction the voice came from.
Luo Jun walked over the boulders above the pond, then walked down the slope. Seeing Luo Jun's agile figure and smile, the women felt relieved.
They had imagined many bad scenarios, the worst being that Luo Jun was dead, and the not-so-bad one being that Luo Jun was seriously injured and unable to come back.
Now seeing the agile Luo Jun, all those worries disappeared directly.
"Mr. Luo, you're finally back. We were all very worried about you!"
Lorna was the closest to Luo Jun. She stood up to welcome Luo Jun and took the lead to hug Luo Jun tightly, burying her face in Luo Jun's sturdy chest.
Li Shi and Jenny came over afterwards.
Li Shi took a look at the excited Lorna, pursed her lips, and took Luo Jun's rough hand.
"Uncle, tell me quickly what happened to you last night?"
"Yeah, Mr. Luo, why didn't you come back last night?"
Jenny also looked relieved and asked Luo Jun, supporting herself on the ground with a stick.
"I didn't have enough time last night, so I spent the night on the mountain... It's no big deal. Sit down quickly. It might rain this afternoon. We have to do a good job of waterproofing, especially our stove."
Luo Jun was going to cancel today's reconnaissance mission. After all, he didn't sleep well last night.
However, he got enough sleep. Seeing that it looked like it was going to rain again, he thought it was a good opportunity for reconnaissance. If it rained, he would set off to reconnoiter the location of the mothership.
But before that, he still had to waterproof the shelter properly.
Although drainage ditches were made, there were no rain shelters over the stove and squat toilet in front of the stove. Once it rained, the water would wet the stove and the squat toilet, making them muddy and affect the quality of life for the next week.
Besides, the firewood was placed at the squat toilet. It certainly could not get wet.
After a simple meal, Luo Jun went to build an awning. Although there was no waterproof cloth left, he could use half-open bamboos to build a tiled roof structure so that the rainwater could be completely blocked.
This was the ancient wisdom of the Chinese people.
Luo Jun skillfully worked on the bamboo, breaking them halfway open, then knocked out the partitions inside the bamboo nodes so that water could flow smoothly.
After spending a morning, Luo Jun finally finished building the rain shelter.
The three women felt very novel about this exquisite roof design and admired Luo Jun's wisdom in labor.
Luo Jun just smiled without saying anything. After all, for the three inexperienced Western women who had never seen the ancient oriental people's wisdom in labor, he had nothing to say.
If he really wanted to tell them, it would take a long time.
Luo Jun looked at the remaining food. There was no more food for the next few days.
He was going to reconnoiter but had no time to hunt. The little fish in the stream certainly wouldn't fill any gaps. So, in addition to reconnaissance, there was also a food crisis.
He looked at the weather. The hazy sky did not seem to intend to pour heavy rain at the moment.
Since this was the case, there was no need to reconnoiter for the time being. He could go hunting in the afternoon.
"I'm going hunting and making traps. I may come back late."
Luo Jun said to the three women as he put on the furry ghillie suit. At this time, Li Shi came to Luo Jun's side ahead of Lorna.
"Uncle, can I go with you?"
Luo Jun wanted to refuse at first, but thinking that she had hunting experience, it might be helpful to take her along. After all, one pair of eyes couldn't compete with four.
"Okay, just don't complain about being tired."
Luo Jun readily agreed. Li Shi's pretty face immediately smiled with joy.
"I've never complained of being tired going out with you!"
Li Shi retorted, and Luo Jun laughed. Lorna came over at this moment.
"Mr. Luo, don't worry about hunting. Jenny and I will finish making the snake skin pants in the shelter."
Luo Jun nodded. He had seen their semi-finished product just now, and it looked quite professional. Someone among them must have learned some basic tailoring skills.
Although the needles and threads in the medicine box were not for professional garment making, there was no need to differentiate at this time. Otherwise, fish bone needles would have to be made, which would be too troublesome.
After Luo Jun and Li Shi were fully prepared, they left the shelter and walked south.
Li Shi's enthusiasm made Luo Jun feel gratified. After all, it would definitely be impossible for him alone to do everything.
Li Shi was a smart girl. She had already realized that the last time she went hunting with Luo Jun, Lorna had begun to be hostile towards her in a way that only existed between women.
Having figured this out, she was naturally no longer afraid of what Lorna had told her about Luo Jun last time.
Luo Jun said that the trap on the reef beach last time had injured a bear. The bear should have originally stored enough fat for hibernation, but unexpectedly fell into a human trap and got injured. Now it could neither hunt nor hibernate. If they didn't find it, it would probably die within this week.
"Are we looking for the injured bear this time?" Li Shi asked.
"That's right. That bear can feed us for a long time!"
Luo Jun answered with a laugh. But Li Shi looked worried: "I've never hunted bears before and I don't know much about them. The island is so big. How do we find it?"
"Don't worry. I'll teach you how to identify animal trails later. As long as you pay attention to these trails, you can find the dying big guy."
Luo Jun rubbed Li Shi's forehead and said with a laugh.
