It was already noon when the battlefield was cleaned up. After everyone ate some dry food on the spot, they carried the bodies of the two dead team members and set off back to the seaside camp. The bodies of the giants and monsters were not processed and were just thrown on the hillside.
When they returned to the camp, Captain Langdon also came over. Blake was very happy to see the two of them back safely. The two described their previous experiences and battles to him. At this time, a sailor came over and interrupted their conversation, notifying several people.
Attend meetings.
Still in the newly completed wooden house, Captain Langdon, first mate Vergang, second mate Zeke, squad leader Joey, three captains, Steven, Kate, and Black attended the meeting.
Kate first narrated the process from setting out on the first day until encountering and fighting giants in the rainforest. Joey added some details, and then Steven described the situation of detecting the giant camp in detail.
The situation of the monsters tamed by giants was also told to the attendees.
Regarding the previously missing member of Joey's team, Collem, Steven described to everyone the scene of the charred human corpse he saw in the giant camp being eaten by giants and monsters.
Then he added: "I speculate that the person who was eaten is most likely Kolem. After all, this desert island has not been discovered before, and there are no human settlements, and those giants are not creatures that can coexist peacefully with humans at all.
"
Captain Langdon nodded, and then asked: "Steven, you said that after the giants ate Korem, some members informed the giant chief about something. Then their chief arranged a small team to set off in the direction of Joey's team. Do you think that giant
Did you find the corpse of the giant you killed before?"
Steven said: "I feel like those monsters discovered the corpse of the giant we killed. We didn't have time to bury the corpse. It might have been discovered by the monsters wandering in the rain forest and notified the giants in some way."
Kate added on the side: "Those monsters were tamed by giants, and they wandered in the jungle. Steven and I encountered two monsters before we discovered the giant camp."
Langdon nodded, and then asked: "Those of you who have experienced fighting giants, please give your opinion. Will these giants find our camp by the sea and attack us?"
Steven said: "I think they will definitely come here! There is no way that the traces our team left in the jungle will not be discovered by the giants and those monsters. Even if it rains, we will not be able to completely cover up the traces we left in a short period of time."
.”
Joey also said on the side: "Captain! Those long-tailed wolves raised by giants are very good at tracking at first glance! Mr. Steven is right! They will definitely find our camp!"
"So how long do you think it will take for them to come here?" Langdon asked again.
Kate replied: "We have speculated that if they come directly from the camp, they will be able to find our camp in two days. Plus the time it takes for them to find the battlefield and report the corpses of the killed giant team, I think it will not exceed at most.
5 days.”
Steven and Joey both agreed with Kate's conjecture. Langdon turned to Second Officer Zeke and asked, "How long will it take to repair the Twin Fin Shark and get it out of here?"
Zeke: "It will take at least a week, that is, 7 days, to completely repair the ship. Because the damaged parts were disassembled, the ship cannot start until it is repaired, Captain."
Langdon said: "But those giants will not wait for our ship to be repaired before coming! We will allow up to four days for them to come. Is there any way you can get the ship moving first?"
Zeke said: "We try to repair the key parts first, so that we can drive the ship to the sea and berth it first, and then repair the remaining parts. But I estimate that it will take 5 to 6 days before the ship can be launched."
Langdon nodded and said: "Then follow this method! The key now is wood. How many more days do we need to log wood near the camp?"
First mate Vergang said: "We have almost cut enough wood. The plates that need to be processed should be completed within two or three days. I asked them to speed up and try to finish the processing within tomorrow and transport all the materials to the ship the day after tomorrow."
Langdon nodded and said: "This is best! We must try to get on the ship before the giants come over! It will not be so easy for them to cross hundreds of meters of water to attack us, and the naval guns on the ship will also be a threat.
to them."
After he finished speaking, he said to the first mate: "Virgin, we need to replenish as much fresh water and food as possible in the next few days, so that everyone can hurry up and tell them that the giant is coming!"
"Okay, Captain! The fresh water has been replaced, and there is plenty of food on the ship. I have arranged for them to give priority to finding fresh food to replenish it on the ship," Virgang said.
Langdon: "Okay! Tell the crew not to leave the camp alone. The giant may come at any time. Arrange some additional people to strengthen the camp's defense and set up warning traps around the perimeter."
"Leave the trap to me and Kate! We have some skills in this area." Steven said.
Langdon nodded: "Very good! I'll leave it to you then! Does anyone else have anything to say?"
The rest of the group had no objections. Captain Langdon dismissed the meeting after arranging all plans, and then all the camp personnel attended the funeral of two team members who died in the battle.
After the funeral, Steven and Kate took Blake to start looking for materials around the camp to set up alarm traps. Blake was very interested in the knowledge about traps. He followed the two of them to cut down small trees and process the materials. By dinner, they would almost need
All the materials have been prepared.
After dinner, a few people were chatting outside the rain shelter. At this time, the crew in the camp was still busy. Everyone knew that the giant was about to kill. There was a tense atmosphere in the camp, and more than a dozen kerosene lamps were hung high.
On the branches, the wood processing workplace was busy and did not rest until late at night.
In the next two days, the three of them set up many alarm traps around the camp, especially from the direction where the giants would come. They even arranged two pits in this direction with sharp wooden stakes inserted at the bottom. If a giant accidentally fell into it,
Trap, what awaits him will be sharpened wooden thorns.
On the afternoon of the third day, all the processed wooden boards and parts were transported to the Twin Fin Shark. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were busy loading the food and equipment collected in the camp to the big ship.
On the morning of the fourth day, all the remaining things that needed to be carried to the Twin-fin Shark had been transported. As the last evacuees got on the rowboats, the two wooden boats drove towards the Twin-fin Shark amid the undulations of the waves.
Steven, Kate and Blake were sitting on the rowing boat, watching the seaside camp half-hidden in the woods fading away. They speculated when the giants would find the camp.
