Falling into the Cretaceous

Chapter 80 Planning Ahead

Using this simple method, Shen Ye spent a morning learning more than a dozen everyday words, most of which were monosyllabic.

There are few words that can be combined.

Some of the more key words include spear, stab (to pierce, to stab, to kill), injured, pain, dinosaur, tree, grass, tree pith.

Bone, blood, flesh, etc.

Shen Ye only needs to memorize it briefly to be able to use it.

In the afternoon, Shen Ye did not go to school.

He also joined the rain protection efforts.

Together with Engineer Deng, he dismantled the kiln. Inside, pieces of pitch-black charcoal remained intact, with clear textures. They made a clear, ringing sound when held in the hand, which was quite pleasant to hear.

Charcoal is very precious outdoors.

Whether for cooking or for casting iron, it is needed, and it can also be used in dilapidated cabins on rainy days.

"Engineer Deng, you're really skilled at charcoal making!"

Shen Ye couldn't help but admire him, and Engineer Deng smiled.

"Brother Ye, you flatter me. It's just charcoal making. I've been doing it since I was a kid. It's not difficult at all."

Shen Ye's lips twitched.

He looked up at the sky, and the earth seemed to be pressed down by a huge, thick black quilt, plunging this prehistoric land into darkness.

"Engineer Deng, you don't need to collect these charcoal. Why don't you get a few people to help build a roof for the dinosaurs? If they get sick from the rain, that would be a huge problem," Shen Ye hurriedly said to Engineer Deng.

This project still needs Engineer Deng's help.

Engineer Deng nodded and immediately went to the trees where the dinosaur was tethered.

It's impossible to set up a temporary shed.

The only solution is to build an irregular polygonal canopy on top.

He discussed the design with Zhang Qiming.

The roof structure is very simple. Tree trunks, each three to five meters long, are placed between two trees to form a huge polygonal frame. Then, thin branches, spaced ten centimeters apart, are laid out inside this frame to serve as a grid.

Then cut down a large number of palm leaves and weave them together in a cross pattern to make them tightly connected.

Finally, cover the trellis with these woven palm leaves.

In this way, the rainwater wouldn't reach the dinosaurs.

Zhang Qiming thought it was a good idea, so he immediately found several strong men to cut down the tree trunks and palm leaves.

This busy period lasted for three hours.

When it was almost finished, Shen Ye came to take a look and felt it wasn't enough.

But that's not enough. If a predatory dinosaur comes out to hunt during a heavy rain, these three herbivorous dinosaurs will be in trouble.

He was unwilling to lose any more.

"Brother Zhang, go and have someone bring all the barricades over here and surround the area with them!"

Shen Ye said to Zhang Qiming.

"But that would put us in danger!" Zhang Qiming said worriedly.

"It's alright, hurry up and get someone to get it done, or we won't have enough time!"

Shen Ye looked up at the thick, dark clouds in the sky, truly worried that they would fall like a weight.

"Okay! I'll do it right away!"

Zhang Qiming had no choice but to do it immediately.

This seems to put the cart before the horse; are human lives less important than the lives of dinosaurs?

However, Shen Ye knew that with these three dinosaurs around the camp, even if dinosaurs came out to hunt on a rainy day, they would definitely keep an eye on these three herbivorous dinosaurs, not on the iron lump.

Moreover, Shen Ye did not leave the cabin completely unprotected.

Having collected a large number of savage spears, he decided to have them tied together to form a grid.

Then tie some short pointed stakes to these grids.

In this way, the "doors" covering the entrances and exits of the cabin were all barbed railings.

This could easily deter most dinosaurs.

In addition, he has a gun, so protecting the people inside the cabin is definitely not a problem, but it's not the same for the dinosaurs. They are too far away from the cabin, and even a gun can't protect them.

Shen Ye couldn't possibly run out and fight the dinosaurs; doing so would really be putting the cart before the horse.

Everyone is busy.

Everyone is preparing for this heavy rain.

The dinosaur meat and a large amount of tree pith from the smokehouse were all brought into the tail section of the cabin. There was a special open space in the tail section for storing supplies. The women cleaned it up and then laid down three pieces of animal hide from the little bull dinosaur.

In addition, the wild man cannot die or get sick.

So Shen Ye had him handcuffed to a piece of wreckage remaining in the middle section of the cabin. The C-shaped wreckage would prevent him from getting wet, but the ground he was sitting on would definitely get wet.

Half an hour later, a rumbling sound began to echo in the sky.

A white, torrential rain began to fall first in the distant forest.

It was like a hazy gray curtain, constantly unfolding in this direction, until finally, large drops of rain pelted down on the top of the cabin.

The sound of rain hitting the roof tiles.

The only thing left to do was to fix the "spike door" at the hatch, so everyone brought the spears and short stakes back into the hatch to tie them up.

Forty minutes later, all the pre-rain work was finally completed.

A gust of wind carrying water mist entered the cabin and sprayed on everyone's faces, feeling very cool and comfortable.

The cabin is not completely waterproof; rainwater can still drip in through some damaged areas. For example, rainwater can blow in through shattered portholes, requiring someone to seal them up.

The women used empty plastic bags to collect rainwater.

This prehistoric downpour brought much joy.

It's unclear who ran out first, but these guys acted like they were going to a party, running straight out to wash themselves with the rain.

For a modern person, going five days and four nights without showering is simply unbearable.

So Shen Ye didn't stop them, but only asked them to hurry up so they wouldn't catch a cold or be struck by lightning.

After the men finished bathing, the women also ran out to take a bath.

But the women didn't take off their clothes and get soaked in the rain. They stood in the rain and washed themselves until they were very clean before returning to the cabin. Then, a few women took towels and coats and covered themselves while they changed their wet clothes at one end of the cabin.

They changed into clean clothes on the other side of the cabin.

These past few days, everyone has been busy, and everyone is physically and mentally exhausted.

This rain seemed to have given everyone a chance to relax, and in the post-crisis relaxation, the men's conversations mostly turned to women.

Women are similar, especially single young women; their topics of conversation are also about men.

This biological instinct cannot be suppressed.

Only some slightly more mature women can remain calm and refrain from jokingly flirting with men.

However, due to the environment, they could not do anything in public and could only engage in brief social interactions in the cramped cabin.

Seeing this situation, Shen Ye was worried that these women might get pregnant unexpectedly.

As a male leader, he couldn't possibly tell the women about their relationships or pregnancies; he couldn't control them anyway.

They need a female leader.

Therefore, Shen Ye proposed the election of a female leader, asking them to discuss it privately and ultimately vote to elect a female leader and a female deputy leader.

In this way, women can discuss and resolve their domestic affairs themselves.

If you want to interfere with something, you can directly manage their female leader, which makes things much easier.

The women quickly began to discuss it intensely.

However, the results won't be available anytime soon.

evening.

The rain showed no signs of stopping, as if it would only cease when it had released all the moisture that had accumulated over this period.

The dim sky quickly plunged into an abyss of darkness.

The heavy rain, like a clump of sticky resin, tightly wrapped them inside the cabin, preventing them from getting out.

The three dinosaurs, hiding under the roof, lay close together, untouched by the rain. Clearly, Engineer Deng had meticulously handled every detail, demonstrating the engineer's meticulous and rigorous work ethic!

Shen Ye's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed slightly.

Shen Yexin was very annoyed.

He was worried that the heavy rain would last for several days, and that there was a possibility of flooding that would extend the riverbanks to this area.

Moreover, the world after the rain is full of mud and puddles, making it impossible to go out and work.

Those dinosaurs that were taking shelter from the rain, having been hungry for a day or two, were all incredibly ferocious and impossible to mess with.

Fortunately, I had prepared charcoal beforehand; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to cook anything during these days of torrential rain.

Shen Ye placed the torches he brought in on top of the charcoal blocks to keep the embers burning. The charcoal was placed on top of a pile of rocks so that it wouldn't burn the passageway in the cabin.

Shen Ye blew on the charcoal until it glowed red, and then lit the torch.

The cabin lights up instantly.

"Brother Ye, you really had the foresight to let me prepare the charcoal beforehand. Otherwise, in this torrential rain, it would be difficult to even get a hot meal!"

"I can't believe it," said Engineer Deng with a sigh.

Everyone present exclaimed that it was indeed thanks to Shen Ye's guidance that their lives were getting better and better.

The reason everyone chose him as their leader was actually to give it a try, since Shen Ye was too young. However, no one present knew anything about survival.

"This isn't just my achievement; without everyone's cooperation, I'd be nothing!"

Shen Ye's self-deprecating remarks made everyone burst into laughter.

"Brother Ye, you're truly our leader now. We'll all work together and follow your orders. One day, we'll definitely be able to go home alive!"

Zhou Jian said.

These words aroused the excitement of everyone present.

"That's right, we'll definitely get home!"

Shen Ye didn't stop them from making a fuss. After a while, he sat down and started smoking a cigar.

In the rear cabin, besides the medical team, Cui Zhengxi was also there. He was there to protect the people and supplies, and would contact them via walkie-talkie if anything happened.

He Yun continued to observe the two diabetic patients.

The patient who fell into a coma yesterday has now completely passed away. He Yun had the body placed at the entrance, where there was a faint glow from the charcoal fire.

She used a small scalpel to cut open the corpse's eyeballs and carefully examined the changes in them.

She had also dissected the eyes of the wild man during the day and discovered that, regarding the adaptability of the medicinal juice, human eyes were actually more adaptable than those of the wild man.

This is simply a miracle.

This medicinal juice is not only harmless, but it also has a restorative and improving effect on eyesight after use.

For nearsighted individuals, using this product can even cause changes in the shape of the eyeball, gradually restoring normal vision.

Humans can see objects in low light for up to 30 minutes after using it, but the effect is about one-fifth weaker than that of felines.
