Chapter 65: Midnight

"That's true. After all, we are compatriots." Xu glasses agreed: "The aborigines said they would turn against each other if they turned against each other. If we hadn't been able to beat muscular men at the beginning, the three of us wouldn't have hurt you with him. At that time, they were all scared silly. Now, I would never have done that."

"If you have a little brain, you should unite with me to deal with him. If we killed the muscular man early, and even if we were at odds with each other, we wouldn't always think about killing others."

"Fortunately, you have nothing to do and saved us. From now on, we will be really united." Xu glasses said: "I have thought a lot these days. You are right. We must unite together. If one more person lives, the greater our chances of survival will be. If we only look at the small profits in front of us, we will eventually suffer big losses."

"It's good that you realize this." I gave him the last full leather bag: "Go and put it away."

Xu glasses nodded and went out of the door holding the leather bag.

During this period of time, the changes of Li Ding and Xu glasses were obvious. I hope they repent from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise, in the future, people will definitely die because of infighting among us.

After days of fatigue, we didn't wake up until noon the next day. There was not much dry food prepared. The fog lotus also had a dozen catties, and some signs of decay also appeared.

Although the problem of drinking water has been alleviated, the plight of food has also come up.

After sailing for half a day, several green dots finally appeared in our sight.

I turned to them and said, "There is an island ahead. Do you have the confidence to sail at night and try to land as soon as possible? In this way, we can have a full meal."

Several people feebly said they would listen to me, so I let them stick to it.

There was no moon at night, and starlight can't bring any light. Fortunately, we can roughly identify the location of the island, because the spots on the island will be darker in the dark.

In the middle of the night, the moon finally rose, bringing some dim light. The nearest island had been completely exposed in our sight. Unfortunately, it was not very big.

By the time we landed on the island, everyone was almost unable to jump off the raft. In this state, it was almost impossible to expect them to drag the raft ashore.

I dragged the boat rope, tied it to the trunk by the sea, and then sat directly against the tree. The whole person was tired, sleepy and hungry, and had no strength to move again.

We fell asleep in a daze and were soon woken up by hunger. I saw the five of them lying motionless on the beach like dead bodies.

My back has been leaning against the trunk, and it hurt and itched. I touched it with my backhand. It felt like a coconut tree. When I looked up, I found it was true. There were a row of round coconuts under the wide coconut leaves, and there were many coconut trees around.

After cheering up, I moved my position and began to cut down the coconut tree with an axe. However, the texture of the coconut tree was too hard and it was very laborious, so I had to give up.

I searched the ground with an axe and found several yellow coconuts. After splitting, the inside was fragrant. After drinking two drinks, there was no hunger in my stomach. I walked to Zhang Yutong with one in my arms and I wanted to wake her up. But she didn’t wake up. So I had to put her head on my knee, split the coconut and fed it to her.

"Why... I want to sleep." Zhang Yutong angrily pushed and shoved.

After I took the coconut, she had a red lip and I encouraged her to open her eyes: "It tasted well, I still want to drink more."

I lifted her up and let her lean on myself. After drinking a coconut, she was somewhat refreshed.

"Brother Lu Fei, aren't you sleepy?"

"I am too hungry to sleep, do you still want to drink more?"

Zhang Yutong shook her head and said: "I am so sleepy and tired, will you sleep with me?"

I nodded, asked her to lie down, split the remaining coconuts, and distributed one to Li Ding and the others. If I could wake up them, I will try to wake up them, but if I couldn't wake up them, I wouldn't bother to take care of them. Then I went to the raft and got a skin. After lying down next to Zhang Yutong, I held her in my arms and we two continued to sleep under a skin.

I didn't know how long I slept. I was awakened by a cry of pain. When I opened my eyes, the strong sunshine was very dazzling. After covering it with my hand, I looked over and saw Li Ding holding his feet in pain.

"What’s wrong with you?" I was sleeping soundly, but I was being woken up which really made me not in a good mood.

"Brother Fei, I was caught by something and it hurt me."

"You deserves it."

Others were woken up and found split coconuts beside them. They picked them up and covered their faces to suck hard.

After waking Zhang Yutong up, I stood up and stretched myself.

I went to the seaside to wash my face, and when I looked back, I saw that they were still listless, so I made the ground burst thick to scare the five people all trembled.

"Lu Fei, you are going to die. Do you want to scare people to death?" Lu Xi gave me a white look and climbed up to complain, "What should I do? I'm still hungry."

"Everybody gets up and goes to work, we will get ready to cook." I clapped my hands.

They got up lazily one after another. After ordering them to work separately, I collected a few larger stones and piled up a stove. Li Ding and Xu glasses took back the dry wood and ignited it with flint.

Making a fire is actually a troublesome matter. Drilling wood to make a fire was the most difficult. Although flint was relatively advanced, the operation skill was very important. If someone who can't use it, he may not be able to set me on fire although you give him an hour.

In order to comfort everyone, I asked Zhang Yutong to take out some meat bones and cook them. The staple food was still tortillas. After filling our stomach, our spirit recovered by most. After a short rest, I went to observe the environment here.

The island we landed on was about 300 to 400 square meters, and we can see it at a glance. Although there were several islands nearby, the area was not large enough. It was hard to get what we want.

"Brother Lu Fei, we have been out for a week, and we can't go forward after a few more days." Zhang Yutong walked up to me and sat down, saying sadly.

"Then we will go back. After returning to that island, we will go north, there will always be a big island." My plan was to take the island we started from as an axis and search for other islands in all directions.

"I hope so." She picked the bridge of her nose: "It's all because of those cunning aborigines who used Wanxue to control you."

"If it were you, I would do the same."

"Really?" She burst into joy.

"Brother Fei, brother Fei..."

When I looked into the directions where the hearing came from, I saw Li Ding galloping out of the woods: "I saw a big island."

"Where is it?" I wonder if he's hallucinating.

"Over there, you can only see it on the other side of the island."

"Let’s go and have a look."

We ran there together, I saw a big island in front of us, feeling much larger than the previous island. In the middle of the island was a towering mountain peak, the top of which was ring-shaped and should be an erupting crater. The island was densely forested, which fully met our needs.

Zhang Yutong only pulled my arm excitedly: "Brother Lu Fei, you can make a job now. It is estimated that it will only take half a day to reach the island."

"Go back and pack up, let's go directly." The big island, let me uncontrollably excited.

If we return to the previous island one day earlier, the possible danger will be reduced by one point. The livestock raised in the tribe were not enough to last for a long time. Once the support is insufficient, the black monster will find a way to go to the highlands.

"Brother Fei, I have made great contributions this time." Li Ding said excitedly.
