004: Island life
It was almost dawn, and Lu Ye was thinking about today's plan.
He planned to find a vantage point to explore the island's environment, confirm where it was safe and where fresh water was stored, and then spend time building a shelter.
As for Violet?
It should be okay to leave her on the beach for now...
Lu Ye stood up, patted the gravel on his butt, and prepared to walk up the mountain.
But just after taking a few steps, he turned around and found Violet quietly following him, silently munching onion-flavored compressed biscuits like a hamster.
Forget it, come if you want to!
The cool sea breeze passed by, bringing a bit of coolness.
The terrain of this island can be considered "stable". There are no mountains, only a few hillsides at best.
Even a person like Lu Ye, who is not very physically fit, can easily explore this island.
The vegetation on the island is quite lush, and there are many animals, such as hares, goats, and even monkeys.
It stands to reason that these animals are unlikely to appear naturally on such a small island.
The only thing that makes sense is that some ship carrying animals got into trouble near here before.
After all, Violet is an example. Although she is not an animal, she came to this island through some way.
Luye didn't have much knowledge about the island, so he didn't think much about the origins of these animals.
But having said that, there are animals, berries, and a shopping mall, so it’s not really difficult to survive.
He walked around and finally came to a cliff high on the island. At his feet was a group of rugged rocks. From here, he could see the entire island.
The island is not big, but the scenery is good. It is surrounded by the sea, but there is no land in sight, which makes people feel a little lonely. This means that it may be an isolated island in the ocean.
In other words, if you want to leave here, you have to pray that a ship will pass by this place.
But who can say for sure about this kind of thing?
The only thing that makes people happy is probably the steaming puddles in the mountains to the west.
There are indeed hot springs on the island. The academic name of this kind of hot spring is "island volcanic rock geothermal hot spring".
They sometimes appear in groups, but underground water sources are connected together.
In other words, this island...or somewhere on the seabed is a crater.
But Lu Ye was not worried.
Because Violet will go to the western continent alive, the volcano will not erupt.
At least it won't break out until she leaves the island.
Although according to the original work, Violet will always be picked up, the specific time of being taken away is not stated.
From this point of view, it is possible that a ship will sail past here in an hour, or it may be necessary to stay on this island for several years.
Lu Ye couldn't imagine what his parents would be like after he disappeared.
Although they work outside all year round, and sometimes it is difficult to go home even once during the Chinese New Year, Lu Ye knows that they still love him, and the joy that his mother feels when she comes back and rubs his dog's head comes from the bottom of her heart.
What about Violet?
Lu Ye glanced at the girl following him.
Speaking of which, why should she follow him?
Maybe it’s because I’m afraid of being alone?
How long has she been here?
One month?
One year?
Three years?
Five years?
Staying alone on the island, with no one to chat with, no one to play with, and no one to take care of her life, just living for the sake of living, such a life has no meaning.
A teenage girl is at the age when she is ready to bloom. She should be in school at this time, talking to her peers about which clothing store has good-looking skirts, instead of staying in a deserted place and slowly rotting like a little beast.
, let alone go to the battlefield desperately to kill the enemy.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Ye felt that this guy was really pitiful.
He imagined how he would feel if he lived on this isolated island for a long time.
There are no games, animations or novels for entertainment, and there is no leisure and elegance like a fisherman to stay at the beach for a whole day... I can only sit motionless in the wilderness like a wooden man, feeling the sun, rain and dew.
As the sun rises and sets, I gradually take root and grow into a big tree...
Thinking of this, Lu Ye actually wanted to touch the girl's head to comfort her.
A strong wind blew by, and the rustling sounds in the surrounding trees brought Lu Ye back from his thoughts.
There seems to be some animal in the jungle?
Lu Ye squinted his eyes. His vision was blocked by waist-deep trees. He couldn't see clearly, but the guy was definitely very big.
When it emerged from the bushes, the people on the street were dumbfounded.
That's a brown bear!!
Although he is young and only stretches about one meter, he is definitely not something he can handle.
The full force blow of an adult brown bear can reach 1,600 kilograms. This bear is still developing, and even if it is folded in half, it has a force of 800 kilograms.
If you get hit by this thick bear paw... I'll send it directly!
The brown bear saw the road leaf, stood on its hind legs, and straightened its body.
This is the gap between it and its prey.
In other words, Lu Ye has become the target of hunting.
After all, brown bears are territorial and will guard against foreign enemies.
There are no animals in nature that are natural enemies of bears. On this island, they are the top of the food chain.
Moreover, Lu Ye is not considered a foreign enemy at all, at most he is just a takeaway delivered to your door.
If the brown bear could talk, then it would definitely say "Thank you for the gift of nature" at this moment.
Behind you is a cliff of nearly 20 meters. The cliff is uneven and looks like it can be climbed.
Just as Lu Ye was hesitating whether to climb down from here, there was a rustling sound behind him.
That was Violet, stepping on the dirt and fallen leaves with her bare feet, and walked out from behind Lu Ye.
She and the brown bear looked at each other, their expressions were indifferent, but there was crystal liquid left at the corners of their mouths.
The brown bear, which was so powerful just now, looked at the human cub in front of it that could swallow its head in one go. It was stunned for a few seconds, and then it immediately returned to its four-legged posture, turned around and ran away.
Although it looked bulky, it ran really fast. It twisted its round buttocks and disappeared into the trees in the blink of an eye.
Violet turned her head and stared at Lu Ye, as if waiting for the order to pursue.
Lu Ye looked at the saliva at the corner of Violet's mouth and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
Good guy, it turns out you are the top of the food chain here!
If you have never eaten a bear, how can you know the taste of a bear, and how can you drool?
Lu Ye had no choice but to take out another piece of compressed biscuit.
"Let's eat this."
After walking around the island for a whole day, towards evening, Luye found a cave on the west coast.
Although it is not big, it is just enough to accommodate two people and can also provide shelter from wind and rain.
After spending two or three hours making preparations for the residence, Luye ate the remaining half of the bag of compressed biscuits left by Violet for dinner.
Luye touched his arm.
I have been walking around the island for a whole day. I have sweated a lot and my feet are very sore.
Luye thought about the hot springs he discovered today.
