They all have special skills

"Then there's no time to lose. Let's go quickly. You show me the way!"

The terrain on the deserted island is complex and there are no obvious reference points.

Therefore, it is impossible to tell the exact location by relying on language, so Shimizukawa still has to take Eriri with him.

Eriri was infected by his eagerness and didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

It was not until she was carried on his back again as he wished that she remembered to ask,

"Um...Kawa-kun, are you trying to find the lifeboat I brought here?"

"Ok!"

"But...even if we find that, it probably won't help. I think it would be best for us to wait here for rescue."

Eriri tries to dissuade Shimizukawa from having dangerous thoughts.

She deeply understood the loneliness and helplessness of floating alone in the middle of the ocean.

That's completely up to fate.

She really didn't want to experience the despair of lack of water and food again.

"No, I don't intend to overestimate my own capabilities and go out to sea to save myself with just one lifeboat. I think that lifeboat can solve one of the problems that we urgently need to solve right now."

"One of the problems?"

"Well, if that one is still there."

Although the chances of that happening are slim, there is a good chance the ship has been carried away by the waves.

But now that I am on a deserted island, I cannot miss any tiny hope and must go and take a look.

----

After all, goddess of luck was on their side.

Following Eriri's guidance, Shimizu River arrived at the nearby beach where she came ashore.

He asked Eriri to wait on the shore while he walked towards the ocean to explore the area with reefs of varying heights.

Then, as the corner of his vision widened, he could easily see the bright orange color against the dark reef background of black and gray!

He turned around and looked back at Eriri with a smile, and shouted loudly,

"Great! The boat is still there! I'll go pull it back! You wait here for me!"

Seeing this, Ying Lili was worried and ran forward a few steps. The waves covered her calves.

"Be careful!"

"Don't worry! Go back and sit down and rest!"

After saying that, Qingshuichuan didn't waste any more time, turned around and jumped directly into the sea.

From Eriri's perspective, he swam very fast and seemed to be swimming with ease.

I felt a little relieved.

But she didn't listen to Qingshuichuan's words that she should go back to the shore and sit down to rest.

She had been standing in the shallow water, her hands clasped tightly against her chest.

In order to keep his sight on the Shimizu River, his feet moved from time to time.

On the other side, the Qingshui River soon reached the vicinity of the lifeboat.

He saw that the rope beside the boat was draped over a raised reef.

This natural anchor prevented the lifeboat from drifting away.

"How lucky..."

Qingshuichuan wiped the water off his face with his palm, and also lifted up his bangs.

The heartfelt sigh he uttered was not only for the ship in front of him, but also for Eriri being able to find him.

If she hadn't taken care of him when he was not feeling well before, he probably wouldn't have recovered so quickly, and the situation might have even gotten worse.

Praise Eriri!

This little girl is so awesome!

After taking a short rest on the reef, Qingshuichuan lifted the rope on the reef.

After pushing the lifeboat away from the reef area, he sat on it and circled the sea back to the shore.

After reaching shallow water, the bottom of the boat hit the bottom and could no longer float.

Qingshuichuan had to get off the boat and pull the rope at the edge with both hands towards the beach.

"I'm here to help!"

Seeing this, Ying Lili hurried over.

"Need not!"

Qingshuichuan shouted loudly to stop her from coming over.

"Just wait for me over there. I can do it on my own."

So, the next moment, in Ying Lili's eyes.

The lifeboat, which could carry four to eight people, was easily pulled ashore by Qingshuichuan alone.

The whole process was just like when he carried me on his back just now, and I didn't even breathe heavily the whole time.

His expression was relaxed and happy, without any of the ferocious look that comes from exerting force.

Ying Lili once again felt it clearly.

Qingshuichuan's...physical qualities might be far better than she imagined...

"call!"

Shimizukawa didn't ask Eriri for help and successfully pulled the lifeboat ashore by himself.

He didn't have time to rest, or perhaps he didn't need to rest, so he pointed at the lifeboat and said to Eriri,

"What does this look like to you?"

"Like what..."

Eriri was a little confused by his words.

She stared at the lifeboat, left and right.

The bright orange lifeboat was concave in the middle and had raised edges. It was an elongated oval shape, and since it was made of rubber, it was quite soft...

If I had to say something like...

"Ah! The mattress!"

Eriri's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed at the boat in front of her and looked towards the Shimizu River with an expression that said, "I see."

He was also smiling happily at this moment, and made a V sign with his left hand in a very childish manner, confirming her guess.

"Now, we don't have to sleep on the cold, hard stone ground anymore. Our resting place is temporarily solved."

He came to the other side of the lifeboat and turned it over with force. The little seawater inside was poured out due to inertia and gravity.

"Now, put it on the beach and let it dry in the sun. In the evening, I'll get some branches and place them horizontally on top, and then put some leaves on top to keep out the moisture and act as insulation. This way, it won't be so cold tonight."

His thinking was clear, and the actions he proposed were indeed the best solution for reusing the lifeboat at the moment.

But as Eriri listened, her eyes gradually turned red for some reason.

“That’s great…”

"?"

Qingshuichuan was dumbfounded. His original confidence in being able to survive on this deserted island quickly turned into a state of helplessness.

"No, what's wrong with you? Does your stomach hurt? Or do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No…I'm sorry."

Ying Lili realized her mistake and quickly used her arm to cover her eyes.

"I just think it's great that I could meet Chuan Jun under such circumstances..."

"I was so scared. I thought your condition had worsened."

Qingshuichuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Lili looked at him like this, with the corners of her lips curled up, revealing her small canine teeth, and her smile was both sweet and sunny.

Just like her dazzling hair color, it can bring endless encouragement and strength to people.

"Gululu..."

Qingshuichuan's stomach protested at this moment.

It turned out that kelp alone was not enough to meet his body's needs.

"Then next, let's find something to start a fire!"

Qingshuichuan is full of confidence.

"Ok!"

Ying Lili also nodded heavily, full of confidence in him.

Volume 1: Chapter 54: Eriri Gets the Point

This is what makes World OL interesting and fascinating.

You can never predict how things will develop in the future.

After waking up, Qingshuichuan spent less than half a day going into the sea to catch food and into the forest to collect eggs, temporarily solving the food problem.

He also found a key point in Eriri's self-narration and dragged the lifeboat ashore, solving the problem of the temporary resting place.

The four well-known elements of wilderness survival:

Water, food, fire, shelter.

He had temporarily resolved two of them.

As for water, he and Eriri drank some of the clear rainwater that had fallen into the stone pit and had not yet been evaporated by the sun.

There is no need to worry too much for the time being.

So now the only problem left to be solved is the source of the fire.

Qingshuichuan, who had watched many videos about survival in the wild, originally maintained a very relaxed attitude towards the issue of making fire.

Maybe it's because everything I do has been going smoothly since I woke up.

Even though he had no experience in making fire before, he was inexplicably confident and did not think it was a difficult task.

So reality soon gave him a cruel slap in the face.

"Well...how about you, Chuan-kun, take a break for a while before trying again."

Eriri Sawamura looked at Shimizugawa who was breathing heavily in front of her and advised carefully.

She was standing in the shade of a tree, watching Qingshuichuan holding a wooden stick in both hands and vigorously rotating it back and forth on a dry piece of wood with a small hole dug in it and sawdust inside. This had been going on for at least an hour.

During this hour, she witnessed with her own eyes how Qingshuichuan became relaxed, with a smile on his lips as he talked and laughed with her while making a fire.

He said with a serious expression that he was going to get serious and start exerting his full strength.

And now...

Holding a wooden stick in his hand, he breathed slightly and stared at the wood and hay in front of him silently.

But it was obvious that he was not as tired as he is now when he carried me on his back before.

It's been forty minutes since I started trying...

Drilling wood to make fire is indeed a difficult task...

"It's okay, I think I know what went wrong."
