Chapter 112 Other Survivors

"I have two guesses. One is that there are people living on this island, but we went to too few places and didn't find it. The other is that there may be people like us on this island, but neither of us has met each other. "

Chi Li held the hair tie she picked up with two fingers. As her fingertips turned back and forth, the hair tie also swung back and forth, as if she was nodding in agreement with her analysis.

"The chances of this island being inhabited are too low."

Jian Yuan rejected Chi Li's first conjecture immediately. After all, they walked around the entire island as soon as they arrived. They also went deep into the center of the forest to see if there were human beings living here for a long time, and if If this conjecture is established, then the humans who wear this kind of rubber band must also be living in a modern civilized society. In this case, it will definitely leave many traces of civilization, and it is impossible to have no trace at all.

After all, although this island is quite big, it is actually not very big even if one can walk around it for three days.

At least not enough to perfectly hide a village or town on a human island.

So the most likely remaining guess is another one.

"There should be people here like us who were washed up on the island in distress." Jian Yuan finally said.

"Normally, we can all be washed here, and others may be washed here." After all, anyone who knows a little bit about geography knows that under normal circumstances, the direction of ocean currents remains roughly unchanged.

Chili has never studied geography, but she not only has the memory knowledge of previous possessed objects, but she is also a fish. Although she is a freshwater fish, she also has friends who live in the sea and have played in the sea, so she naturally understands Some knowledge about the environment in the sea.

After confirming that there were probably other victims besides them on the island, Chi Li and Jian Yuan's first reaction was not to look for anyone first, but also to hide their whereabouts as much as possible.

Although in times of crisis, more people are more powerful. If they can unite together, maybe they can survive more easily, but this is not necessarily true. After all, without actually meeting and getting to know each other, who knows whether those people are good or bad?
It's not that they have dark minds, it's mainly that they are on guard against others.

Don't find the survival comrades who help each other and find a group of troubles or villains instead, which will directly increase the difficulty of their originally smooth survival to hell.

Chi Li didn't want to be forced to carry Jian Yuan and jump into the sea to escape overnight.

"Anyway, the most important thing for us now is to survive on this island. As for those possible survivors, forget it if you don't encounter them. If you encounter them, don't approach them rashly. It's best to find a way to observe them from a distance. After a period of time, wait until you are sure that the other party is not a bad person, and then decide whether to take the initiative to find them."

Jian Yuan quickly decided his attitude towards other potential survivors, and Chi Li had no objection to this.

The topic was turned over, and the two began to settle their dinner.

Too many things happened from yesterday to today. They were so busy that they hadn't eaten much yet. The sky was gradually getting dark. They were so hungry that the temporary shelter fell into silence for a while. , there is only the sound of wild fruits being bitten, chewed, and swallowed.

This kind of unusual silence lasted for about ten minutes, until Chili felt that her stomach was seven-tenths full, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down her eating speed: "It was so dangerous, I almost starved to death."

The wild fruit in his mouth was a little sour, but based on the principle of not wasting it, Jian Yuan chewed it all and swallowed it: "We still have to find ways to store more food in the future, preferably something that is portable."

After all, they didn't do a good job in food storage, otherwise they wouldn't be hungry.

"I'll go out early tomorrow and find more food."

Chi Li has already made a plan in her mind to go back to the previous bamboo forest to dig some bamboo shoots tomorrow.

Bamboo shoots are big, delicious, and easy to store. The important thing is that the bamboo forest is there and is easier to find. It is a food reserve that is more suitable for their current situation. Maybe they can catch bamboo rats if they are lucky.

Regarding the latter, Chili didn't have any hope, she just thought about it. However, her luck was so good, even if she didn't want it, some stupid food reserves would be delivered to her door automatically.

Early the next morning, Chi Li got up and went out. Instead of walking around in a hurry, she randomly found a tall tree, climbed up with dexterous hands and feet, stood on the top of the tree and looked out, identifying the direction of the bamboo forest.

After confirming her location, she climbed down from the tree, told Jian Yuan who was following her, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the woods, leaving Jian Yuan who wanted to go with her unable to catch up.

"Oh, forget it."

Knowing that his leg injury was a drag before it healed, Jian Yuan sighed helplessly and turned to do what he could do now.For example, he could gather materials to make a fire, or pick wild fruits. Maybe he could also look for any wild vegetables to eat.

Jian Yuan doesn't know wild fruits, but he has written down the types and shapes of all the wild fruits picked by Chili. As long as he looks for them carefully, and then asks Chili to identify them again, he can basically avoid mistakes. .

As for wild vegetables, he already knew some of the more common ones, such as bracken, wild celery, dandelions, etc., but it was a mystery whether they could be found on this island, so he didn't have high expectations for them.

It was also after climbing to the top of the tree that Chili discovered from a higher perspective that they were actually able to run. The location of the bamboo forest was not only far away from their current temporary shelter, but it was also a long distance away. It was almost Climb half a mountain.

Fortunately, she climbed high enough, the bamboos in the bamboo forest grew high enough, and she had good eyesight, otherwise she would not have been able to spot the different tips of the bamboo leaves among the greenery.

Chi Li had a good sense of direction. She walked along the direction of the bamboo forest and found the bamboo forest without even climbing up the tree again to confirm the direction.

As soon as I arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest, I was unexpectedly given a big gift.

A gray shadow came out of nowhere and slammed into a thick bamboo pole, making a loud noise. It startled Chi Li and at the same time, she also died unluckily.

The bamboo pole that was innocently hit swayed greatly, and after shaking off the bamboo leaves, it gradually regained its composure.

Patting her little heart and comforting herself who was frightened, Chili calmed down and took a closer look, and was immediately speechless: "Ah this..."

I saw a fat bamboo rat with a stiff body, lying on all fours next to the bamboo pole that was hit. Half of its forehead was flattened. It was obvious that it could not die anymore.


I don't know what happened to it to make it think so blatantly, but no matter what the reason is, Chili will naturally not refuse this kind of food that is automatically delivered to the door.


But before picking it up, she carefully used her animal instinct to investigate in advance, lest the bamboo rat was acting like this because of some disease, and if they ate it without noticing, they might be infected. Some unknown virus.


Fortunately, the superior talent of animals allows them to smell the presence of diseases in their own kind and non-kind. Obviously, Chili also has this ability, so after confirming that the bamboo rat was healthy and edible, she immediately started to smell it. She happily picked it up and threw it into the straw handbag Jian Yuan prepared for her.


Jian Yuan had previously chopped bamboo to make tableware such as cups and chopsticks. He also planned to cut some bamboo strips to weave baskets. However, before he could finish it, a storm started. It was obvious that the two people who were escaping could not take those bamboo strips with them. A heavy bamboo can only be left in place, so in order to make it easier to carry things without the material, he went out to collect some flexible grass yesterday while Chili went out to look for food, and first twisted it into a straw rope. Weaved it into a handbag and took it away to Chili this morning.


It is said to be a handbag, but it is actually a straw net bag with holes on it. It can only be used to carry relatively large things such as bamboo rats and bamboo shoots. It cannot be used to carry wild fruits because it is too small. Things will leak, but this is a temporary handicraft after all, and fresh grass that has not been treated much is not durable and will break down in a few days, so you can't be too demanding about quality.


All I can say is that it’s fine if it works, and it’s okay.


"It's quite fat." He lifted the bag containing the bamboo rat. It was heavy, and he felt that this guy weighed about ten kilograms. Even if the inedible parts were removed, there should be several kilograms of meat left, enough for the two of them. Been eating for several days.


Of course, Chili was not just satisfied with this. Even if she only picked up grain for nothing, she still followed the original plan and looked for the shadow of bamboo shoots in the woods, and diligently dug out several large bamboo shoots to take back.


This season happens to be the production season of bamboo shoots. Each bamboo shoot grows plump and huge. One bamboo shoot is enough for two adults to eat. However, being big also means heavy, so even if the forest is full of bamboo shoots, Chili is still the best. Assessing his own strength, he restrained himself from digging too much.


Lest you become too greedy and find yourself unable to carry it, which would be embarrassing.


With a full harvest, Chili happily returned with a lot of food on her back. On the way back, she even took a detour to find the nearest beach, where she treated the bamboo rats in the sea water and then brought them back.


Before going out, she specially exchanged survival tools with Jian Yuan. With the multi-functional knife, it was not only much easier for her to dig bamboo shoots, but it was also much easier for her to deal with bamboo rats.


Originally, the sun was still early, and she thought that she was not in a hurry and could wander back leisurely. However, Chili vaguely heard some unusual noises halfway through, and immediately quickened her pace and hurried back, not even daring to be curious. rise.


She has not forgotten that there are not only large beasts but also human beings who do not know good and evil on this island. It is better to be overly cautious than to be reckless.


As they walked quickly, when they approached the shelter, she also spotted Jian Yuan who was out picking wild vegetables and fruits. Chi Li did not stop, the two just looked at each other for a moment, and Jian Yuan immediately gave up picking and turned around to follow Chi Li back. Go into their shelter.
