Too tired and unsafe around him, Lu Li found it difficult to sleep peacefully, even with the blessing of a warm and windproof place.
Every once in a while, Lu Li would wake up passively, and then fall asleep again.
It is difficult to get enough rest and good sleep, but the benefits are obvious.
Lu Li didn't have to worry about the fire going out if left unattended for a long time, or the excess water being wasted after the water tank was filled.
In less than two hours, Lu Li woke up for the fifth time.
It was approaching morning, and the ocean looked deep and dark under the gloomy sky, as if something terrifying was brewing.
Lu Li stopped for a rest and left the windproof place for a short time. When he came back, he held a jar filled with water. He placed it on a stone to heat. Lu Li picked up the canned pork next to him, ate the remaining half, and held the empty jar tightly.
Pursing her lips, she got out of the windproof place and walked towards the beach.
Again, it's really salty.
After eating it, his desire to drink water reached its peak, but it was very effective in satisfying his hunger. At least Lu Li didn't feel hungry until now.
While squatting down to clean the jar, Lu Li observed his surroundings. There were always new shells and conches being carried to the beach by the waves, and then being swept back.
The first branch Lu Li stood on the beach was completely submerged, and the second branch was mostly submerged. Only a corner of it was revealed when the waves receded.
The sea water is much higher than it was two hours ago.
A new wave washed in and covered Lu Li's soles. It left a scallop at Lu Li's feet and retreated.
Lu Li reached out to pick it up and used a stone to pry open the scallop. He found that it was empty, with only the remaining pieces of snow-white meat as big as a fingernail attached to the scallop.
After throwing the scallops back into the sea, Lu Li took the jar and walked to the windproof place, picked up the water again, returned to the windproof place, and climbed back into the windproof place with a pile of firewood piled outside.
The water on the rocks had just warmed up, so Lu Li added some branches to the fire to warm it up and lay down to rest.
Gululu...
A strange shadow came close to him and made a vague muttering sound.
Lu Li opened his eyes, and the boiling water in the pot next to the fire was boiling.
He sat up and picked up the jar with a branch, placed it in the depression dug aside, covered it with clean stones to prevent sand from falling into the water, added a piece of firewood, and went to sleep again.
He still woke up every few dozen minutes. The first time he woke up, Lu Li drank some water. The second time he woke up, Lu Li drank more. The third time he woke up, Lu Li drank all the water in the jar.
, taking the empty can in exchange for the half-full can at the water point.
During this period, Lu Li felt cold. After he added a lot of firewood to the fire, the cold feeling disappeared. He fell asleep to the sound of the sea breeze blowing outside.
Time passed and it was getting closer to afternoon.
At a certain moment, Lu Li woke up, his head was groggy, but he found it difficult to fall asleep again.
After drinking the hot water in the jar, Lu Li went to the windproof point to replace the filled jar.
It was difficult to record the exact time on the island, so Lu Li could only estimate that 5 to 6 hours had passed based on the amount of water he received.
The time now may be approaching five o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be dark soon.
After adding more firewood to the fire, Lu Li got out of the windproof place.
The shoreline on the beach is receding, and the tide reaches its peak at noon and recedes again in the afternoon.
Lu Li walked along the coastline to a mooring. The tide had receded, leaving five or six finger-sized fish in the moor.
The harvest was very small, and together they were not even as big as the whitebait that Lu Li threw into the water. To attract more fish, he had to replace it with more attractive food, such as carrion.
Lu Li rolled up his trousers and jumped into the water, chasing the small fish that was disturbed by the muddy water.
After struggling for a few minutes, Lu Li managed to catch four of them. The remaining one was difficult to find in the turbid water. Lu Li stopped wasting time and shot the four small fish to death. Then he continued forward, approaching the beach where he found the fin prints through the flowing water.
With the high tide a few hours ago, most of the fin prints on the beach disappeared, including Lu Li's footprints. After counting twelve traces and no new fin prints, Lu Li retreated to the water pool, and then retreated from the water pool to
Windproof place.
The footprints here were messy and impossible to cover up, so Lu Li gave up his plan. He looked up at the sky. The sky was darker than when he first woke up, and it was almost getting dark.
Taking advantage of the last lingering moments before dark, Lu Li placed Xiao Yu on the rocks next to the fire and entered the forest to look for obstacles that could block the entrance to the windbreak.
He inevitably approached the cliff-top hut, the only place where humans had ever lived, but when he walked up the path and approached the cliff-top hut, he suddenly frowned.
The uneasy feeling that briefly arose upon entering the wooden house is becoming stronger as we get closer.
It was as if what Lu Li was approaching was not a small wooden house, but some dark and malicious aura.
When he was less than ten meters away from the wooden house, Lu Li stopped. He felt that if he got closer, the aura would be drawn to him.
Lu Li cannot sense the other party through the psychic gun. The perception of the psychic gun is mutual. Lu Li can feel the other party, and the other party will also feel Lu Li. This is not a good idea.
After taking a slightly regretful look at the deck chair on the other side of the hut, Lu Li stepped back and returned to the starting point of the trail.
After searching half a circle nearby, the sky was getting closer to evening and things in the distance became difficult to see clearly. Lu Li, who found nothing, retreated to a windproof place.
Surprisingly, a familiar outline lay under the cliff more than ten meters away from the windbreak. Lu Li had just decided to give up on it twenty minutes ago.
That's a recliner.
"...?"
Lu Li raised his head and looked towards the top.
Although the wind at the top of the cliff is strong, there is a possibility that the lounge chair that has been left unused for a long time will be blown down by the wind - but this scene is too coincidental.
Lu Li suppressed the thought of drawing his gun and silently accepted the gift. He dragged the lounge chair outside the windproof place and disassembled it. The side with the fabric was like a stretcher, and he placed it across the entrance of the windproof place.
The windbreak is completely covered on the left and right sides, leaving a gap of about 20 centimeters above, just enough to allow the smoke generated by the fire to drift out.
The size is just right, and if it is moved away by something, Lu Li will be able to sense the movement immediately.
He seemed to have completely forgotten that there was another person on the island.
Lu Li looked into the distance. Only a dark outline was left on the sea surface dozens of meters away. The dark red clouds in the west were gradually disappearing. The light and temperature seemed to be withdrawn from the world, leaving only a windproof place.
The fire inside is bright and heart-warming.
Carrying enough firewood to burn until tomorrow, he put it in a windproof place. Lu Li got inside. He turned around and pulled up the lounge chair.
The sound of the waves and the whine of the sea breeze seemed to be muted due to the obstruction of the lounge chair. With the addition of a "door" in the depression, there was a false sense of security here.
Turning over the four slightly burnt fish, Lu Li leaned against the warm stone wall, facing the outside world.
The last light from the outside world disappeared.
