Chapter 106
After briefly introducing themselves, the two people looked at each other, both confused about the situation in front of them.

"Do you know what happened? I only remember that we encountered a tsunami, and then I seemed to faint. I woke up on this beach, with my hands tied to you."

With that said, Jian Yuan also raised the things that tied him and Chi Li.

Chili didn't take a closer look at what she picked up as a rope before. She only knew that the strap felt flat and thick, a bit like a belt, and it was not made of leather, but more of a hard fabric, like a schoolbag strap.

Only then did she finally see clearly. It turned out to be a camouflage-colored waist bag, and she didn't know who it belonged to. It was soaked with seawater, and it was still dripping with water when it was lifted up.

Affected by her illness, Chili's reaction was a little slow. She stared at her pocket in a daze for a while before replying: "You were knocked unconscious by the waves and sank into the water and almost drowned. I saved you."

"Thank you."

In fact, when he woke up and saw their hands tied together, Jian Yuan knew that he was probably rescued by Chi Li. Now that he learned about the process of his rescue from Chi Li, he felt grateful and a little bit sad at the same time. Fortunately, they all survived.

As for what they will face after surviving, these are not the scope of Jian Yuan's consideration for the time being.

"You're welcome, it was you who saved me first." So she saved him in turn, which was actually a way of repaying a favor.

"Then I'm a good guy who will be rewarded."

Jian Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"I wonder where we are now?" Maybe the medicine he just took started to take effect. Chili felt that her mind was clearer and she began to care about their current situation.

"You can leave... Forget it, you rest here while I explore the surrounding area, hoping to find someone living nearby." Jian Yuan originally wanted Chi Li to go with him, and it would be safer for the two of them. But looking at the other party's face burning red, he decided to find a way out by himself first, and then bring someone back to rescue Chili when he found rescue.

"Okay." Chili also knew her physical condition and didn't show off.

Jian Yuan stood up and left, leaving Chili with the wet fanny bag. Chili had nothing to do and didn't dare to sleep alone, so she reached out and picked up the fanny bag to take a look.

The owner of the pocket bag is definitely missing now, and I don’t know what’s inside. It’s a bit heavy when I pick it up. It shakes and jingles, and there must be metal products inside.

This belt bag is larger than ordinary belt bags. It is square in shape and has many grids. It has a barrel-shaped water bottle bag on the side and a stainless steel water cup stuffed inside.

Obviously, this is an outdoor survival belt bag.

Chili took out the water cup first and wanted to see if there was any water in it. She was already very thirsty, but as a koi in a human shell, she couldn't drink sea water directly unless she wanted to leave this world early. .


It's a pity that her good luck didn't work this time. The water glass was empty. However, it was precisely because the airtight water glass was empty and only contained some air that the fanny pack could float on the water for Chili to catch. Otherwise, it would The weight of the other metal products inside would probably have sunk to the bottom a long time ago, so how could they still be here?


Chili put the water glass aside and continued to look through it.


She started looking at the largest compartment, opened the zipper, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an unopened bottle of mineral water stuffed inside. This bottle of mineral water was not big, but it was enough to solve their urgent needs, and the bottom was messy. Stuffed with several packages of compressed biscuits and candies, Chili counted. There were four packages of biscuits and twelve candies in total. They were all well packaged and could be eaten even after being soaked in sea water.


Of course, even if I can't, I can't care so much if I'm really hungry.


In addition to these, there was a pack of paper towels and a mobile phone inside. These two items were obviously scrapped. The paper towels were soaked by seawater and turned into a pile of soft scraps of paper. The mobile phone could not even be turned on. You could clearly hear it if you shook it. The sound of water can only be used as a hidden weapon in the hand now. It may hurt someone by surprise.


Chili placed all these things neatly next to her, then continued to browse through other small grids. Finally, she found a wilderness survival bracelet, a multifunctional wilderness survival knife, a small flashlight, and three packs of emergency thermal blankets.


In addition to the medicine she brought with her, now they have food, water, tools, and medicine. Even if Jian Yuan cannot come back for a while, Chili is not afraid that she will starve to death, die of thirst, freeze, or get sick.


The short-term survival crisis was lifted, Chi Li exhaled, but she did not relax.


First, he put the wilderness survival bracelet on his wrist, then took out a candy and put it in his mouth to absorb the sugar to replenish his body's energy.


The body was still wet, sticky and uncomfortable, and there was no one else around. Chili simply took off her shirt and pants, wring them out with her hands, and then hung them on a branch that could get the sun to dry, while she took them off. He wrapped a pack of emergency thermal blankets around his body and continued to rest under the tree.


This emergency thermal blanket is about the size of a card before it is opened. After it is unfolded, it is as big as an ordinary blanket, enough to wrap Chili's entire body.


It is made of plastic and has a reflective silver surface, which can maintain human body temperature in an emergency and is moisture-proof and rainproof.


The sick body was still too weak. Chi Li didn't know when she fell asleep. When she heard the call of the person next to her and woke up, she realized that Jian Yuan had returned and the sky was mostly dark.


"I found no trace of habitation."


Jian Yue did not wait for Chili to ask, and took the lead to inform Chili of his discovery: "And I suspect that we were washed up on an uninhabited island."


After he left, he did not rush deep into the woods, but walked along the coast. Jian Yuan's thinking was very simple. If there were people living nearby, then the people living on the seaside were most likely fishermen. If someone went out to fish, there must be a trap set up on the seaside. With the fish equipment, he could at least see water marks or floating balls, but in the end he found nothing.


The beach in this place is so clean that there is not even a trace of garbage, let alone any trace of human activity.


Therefore, Jian Yuan, who became more and more distraught as they traveled, began to wonder if they were unlucky enough to be washed up on an uninhabited island.


"This is just my guess. I didn't go too far today, so maybe I just haven't found it yet." Before he was completely sure, Jian Yuan still had hope. He planned to set off early tomorrow to explore farther away. .


"I'll go with you tomorrow."


Chi Li intuitively knew that their situation might not be optimistic, but she, too, had a glimmer of hope for things that were not yet certain.


"Okay." Jian Yuan didn't refuse. He couldn't go too far today. In fact, he was mainly worried about Chi Li and didn't worry about leaving her alone for too long, so he hurried back before dark. If Chi Li could come with him tomorrow, If they walk, they can go to a relatively distant place. Even if they can't finish the journey in one day, they can still take their time and walk for two or three days, and one day they can find rescue.


As for whether Chili's body can sustain the long journey?

The worst he can do is carry her on his back.


"Let's eat something first." Chili handed a piece of compressed biscuit and water to Jian Yuan. Jian Yuan took it and asked, "Only a bottle of water?"
"Well, there is a water glass here. Pour half of it for me."


"I'll use the water cup. Wait a minute. I'll take the cup and wash it first." After saying that, Jian Yuan picked up the stainless steel water cup and went to the beach to rinse it in the sea water before bringing it back.


Chi Li: "..."


It's fastidious, but not completely fastidious.


The two of them each drank a pack of compressed biscuits and divided the remaining food equally. Since Chi Li had eaten a candy beforehand, she now had one less piece to share. In addition, the multifunctional wilderness survival knife Also given to Jian Yuan, Chi Li had already chosen the survival bracelet first.


There is also a small knife hidden in the survival bracelet, which can also be used as a self-defense tool at critical moments. Moreover, although this bracelet looks small, it actually has more functions than a simple knife. It is not only equipped with a compass, a thermometer, and a knitted ring. When the rope was disassembled, it turned out to be a strong rope with flints hidden inside, making it easier to make a fire. Chi Li took advantage of this, but fortunately Jian Yuan didn't care.


"I'm going to pick up some branches to make a fire."


At this time, it was completely dark, and you couldn't see your fingers, and the temperature had dropped significantly. Even if Chili put on the clothes that had been dried and wrapped herself in a thermal blanket, she could clearly feel the chill, and even more so. Not to mention Jianyuan.


It was also at this time that they began to feel annoyed that they had not raised the fire before it got dark. However, this was understandable. Both of them were newbies in wilderness survival, and they had never bothered to learn about this aspect of knowledge. Will know so much knowledge.


Chili knew that there were so many gadgets hidden in the survival bracelet. It was because she had seen a movie before in which the male protagonist carried this gadget on his hand to survive in the wilderness, so she knew a little bit about it, otherwise she might have Didn't even know there was flint inside.


"me and you together."


It was such a dark day, so Chili didn't trust Jian Yuan to pick up branches alone, so she simply got up and went with him, so that the two of them could be more efficient. It happened that she had just finished eating and taken medicine, and her body was already exhausted. It's obviously much better, the temperature has also dropped, and I'm no longer so weak.


"Okay, try to see if that flashlight can still light up."


Jian Yuan stood up and then remembered that they still had a flashlight, and quickly reminded Chi Li to open it and try it.


It would be much easier if there was some light source.


During the day, Chili took out the flashlight and mobile phone to bask in the sun in an attempt to save her life. She didn't dare to open the mobile phone yet, and planned to let it dry for another two days until it was completely dry. She could try turning on the flashlight. .


Press the switch, it doesn't light up, turn it off and on again, it still doesn't light up.


"broken."


One of the only two electrical appliances was declared damaged. To be honest, it was quite disappointing, but it was also expected, so Chi Li quickly cheered up and went to pick up tree branches with Jian Yuan in the dark.


The two of them did not dare to go deep into the woods. They only touched the branches with their hands at the edge and picked up some dead leaves. Anyway, they wanted anything that could be used to make a fire. It was so dark that they did not expect to touch something. Naturally, the spirit is highly tense, resulting in frequent surprises.


For example, Jian Yuan accidentally touched a smooth stone and was startled. Then he touched something that moved. He was so frightened that he screamed, which even frightened Chili.


"what are you doing?"


Chi Li was so angry that she wanted to give him a few blows. Didn't you know that scaring someone can scare someone to death?

"There was something moving just now, and I was scared." Jian Yuan now feels that his hands are numb when he touches the living thing. The most terrifying thing is that he still doesn't know what the thing he touched is, and his mind will inevitably have random thoughts. Then the more I thought about it, the more horrified I became, and I scared myself quite a bit.


"Let's go back and make a fire first, and then come back and continue picking up when there is light."


It was not an option to continue like this, and they had already picked up some on their hands. Chi Li simply called Jian Yuan back to their temporary base, intending to light up the fire first.


Neither of them had any experience in making fire, but they had never seen pigs running around or eating pork, so they also knew to place dry branches underneath and use dead leaves on top as fire starters.


Then of course, I failed to raise the fire.


"Crack!" The knife quickly scraped across the flint, lighting up sporadic flames. The fire fell on the dead leaves underneath, but it failed to light the fire as expected.


Not believing in evil, they went back and forth several times to no avail. Instead, they were both panting from exhaustion, making it seem like they were drilling wood to make fire instead of simply using flint to make a fire.


"Why?" Chi Li was puzzled.


"I don't know." Jian Yuan said that this question was out of scope.


The two of them were silent for a moment, and then they both said, "Forget it, let's stay up all night and wait until dawn tomorrow."


There are also two thermal blankets, which Jian Yuan has taken off. One is covered by himself and the other is spread on the ground. The two of them lie on it together, close to each other, resisting the cold wind and providing each other with warmth at the same time.


It was a very difficult night.


Chi Li closed her eyes and her consciousness was not completely asleep. She knew that Jian Yuan was the same. The two of them didn't know what tomorrow would bring, they just prayed that the sky would light up soon.


In a daze, almost as soon as she felt the sun shining hazily on her body, Chili opened her eyes immediately, and happened to meet her eyes with Jian Yuan, who had also woken up.


Sitting up together, they moved their gazes to the pile of branches where they failed to make a fire last night in a tacit understanding.


After a night of sea breeze, the pile of branches had been somewhat scattered, but under the sufficient light in the morning, they could still see at a glance the reason why they failed to raise the fire last night.


It turned out that the dead leaves and branches they picked up in the dark were not all dry. The dead leaves that should have turned yellow were mixed with sporadic green, and the pile of branches was also a little moist. The fire starter was not dry enough and the two of them did not have enough experience in making fires. , it became a matter of course that the fire could not be raised.


Learning his lesson, Jian Yuan picked out the wet leaves and branches this time and tried to light a fire again. After failing twice, he finally lit it.


The ignition of the fire was reflected in the pupils of the two people, as if it also ignited a cluster of flames in their eyes.
