Chapter 480 Timber Shortage
ding ding kuang kuang~
From the bottom of the cliff came the sound of chiseling stones one after another.

After the equation decided to build four more arrow towers, Wei Lin shouldered the task again.

The stones mined from the top of the mountain have to be transported to the edge of the cliff. There is a relatively long distance between them. For the sake of convenience, the nearest method is adopted, and the stones are excavated from the cliff.

After a period of recuperation, the injury on Ayue's arm has recovered. It was he who personally led the prisoners to hang on the cliff, knocked down the stones bit by bit, and then used baskets and vines from the bottom of the cliff pull away.

There are two advantages to taking stones from cliffs. One is that you can get stones nearby, and the other is that you can knock the cliffs steeper.

Knock off all the places on the cliff that were easy to climb, leaving only bare cliffs, so that the natural danger is the real natural danger, and it is absolutely impossible for the natives to land from the west and north coasts.

Even if they can climb the bare cliff, what awaits them will be a row of dense arrow towers.

There are many benefits to quarrying rocks from the cliff, but the danger is also very high. People can only hang on the cliff through vines. The sea wind here is already strong. Hanging in the air and being blown dangling looks scary, even more terrible. The most important thing is falling rocks. Sometimes a falling rock suddenly falls, and if you don't pay attention, you will be taken away directly.

In order to quarry stones, a total of two captives fell from the cliff, and without exception, they fell to their deaths on the spot.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these arrow towers were bought by the people on the island with blood.

"Ah..."

The prisoner beside him shouted at A Yue.

Ah Yue couldn't understand what this guy said, but he still put down the stone hammer in his hand.

The bodies of the two were suspended in the air, and they would be shaken by the sea breeze. Looking down, there was a pile of rocks ten meters high. If they fell, they would definitely not survive.

However, Ayue and the captives have gotten used to the long-term aerial operations.

"Ahhh!"

Seeing that Ah Yue didn't understand what he meant, the prisoner was even more excited, so he could only point to the distant sea.

On the sea to the north of the island, a small black dot appeared.

Ah Yue didn't take it to heart, but just smiled lightly, signaling to the prisoner not to panic, and by the way told other prisoners not to care, just work hard.

Speaking of the little black spot on the northern sea, Ayue is no stranger to it, it is the canoe of the Black Tooth tribe.

After failing to attack the island twice in a row, the Black Tooth tribe suffered a loss of troops, and encountered a tough bone on the way to the west to plunder.

They couldn't take this hard bone for a while, but they were unwilling to give up like this, so they would take people around the island to observe every now and then.

Two black-toothed canoes come every time, no more and no less, and they don't get close, just check the situation of the island from a distance.As for the construction of the arrow tower on the island, they must have noticed it.

These guys are like flies, they can't be chased away, and they can't be beaten. As for what they want to see, they can only be seen.

Anyway, there is no way to stop the investigation of the Black Tooth tribe on the island, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

At noon, Pearl and Rebecca came to the edge of the cliff.

They were responsible for bringing food for Ayue and the prisoners at noon.

Now that there are so many people on the island, it is unrealistic for everyone to gather together to eat like before, so it was changed to be cooked by the kitchen and distributed to everyone on the island.

After a busy morning, everyone was finally able to return to the ground from mid-air, each took their own water and food and found a cool place to eat.

Those prisoners of war gathered together in twos and threes, and now there is no need to worry about them making trouble.

After these days of living on the island, perhaps these natives also found that living on the island is a bit tiring, which is much better than being killed and eaten at any time, so gradually they all began to adapt to the current island In life, no one would think of rebellion.

Another very important reason is that the dried corpses of the Black Tooth tribe were hung on the wooden stakes on the coast.

Those few corpses have been dried into mummified corpses, and they will swing back and forth on the wooden piles when the sea breeze blows.

Although it was the corpse of the Black Tooth tribe, it also had a deterrent effect on the prisoners of war on the island. They knew what the consequences of their riot would be, so they accepted their current life more calmly and would not have other thoughts.

Ayue and Pearl came to the separate side.

The relationship between the two is like glue now, and A Yue has gradually become more talkative from the boring gourd before.

"How about the equation?"

"I'm still leading everyone to collect corals. Now the island needs too much lime, and the only way to meet the demand is to keep mining corals." Pearl said with some concern, "But I heard from Lu Fengmei that if the fire continues like this, the corals will still be there." The trees on the island will be burned."

A few deep forehead lines appeared on A Yue's forehead. This problem had been thought of before, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

To put it bluntly, since the population of the island has exploded, the problem of timber has become very acute.

Building houses before and building arrow towers now require wood to build a roof.In addition to the needs of construction, firewood is also indispensable for burning. Now we have to cook for more than 20 people. Every meal requires a lot of firewood. It is conceivable that the firewood consumed for three meals a day.

In addition to the above two, burning lime also requires a lot of firewood, which intensifies the consumption of wood on the island.

The key is that the island is not big in the first place, and the native trees on it are limited. Those coconut trees and palm trees can provide food and materials but cannot be cut down, so the shortage of wood has become an urgent need now.

"I can't go on like this, I have to find the equation."

Worried about the timber problem on the island, A Yue hastily ate the dried squid and cassava, and then went to talk to Fang Fang.

Seeing that he was so concerned about this matter, Pearl asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

A Yue said: "No need, you stay and help Wei Lin take care of this place together."

After passing through the woods, they arrived at the camp. Li Qingman, Song Zhixi and the others were also eating at the moment. Seeing Ah Yue rushing over, they felt that there might be something wrong.

"Is there something wrong with the cliff?" Li Qingman asked.

"No, I'm here to look for Equation, and I want to talk to him about timber." A Yue looked around, but he didn't see Equation.

Li Qingman said: "That's just right, he's discussing this matter with Mr. Lu in the lime yard, you can go over and have a look, and help me call him back for dinner."
