First of all, the squad leader has lived on the island for ten years. In order to survive, his body and pace have changed a long time ago. The footsteps on the ground are obviously made by well-trained soldiers; secondly, Li Yuan has never served in the army, so this cannot be left by him, so who could it be?

As for the people who came, I could only think that they were members of a terrorist organization. However, terrorist organizations are basically just standard guerrillas. With such well-trained soldiers, it is hard for me not to suspect that they hired an international mercenary group to carry out the mission.

So now I can be sure that in addition to the organizations I originally identified on the island, we now need to add another two-person team like this.

It was not advisable to stay here for long. After packing up, I hurriedly took Qin Lan away. As for the footprints left behind, I specially used grass and trees to make them all look normal when I left, so that no one could find where we were for a while.

We left home very early in the morning and it was already late afternoon when we returned.

"We have caught the fish, but how are we going to eat them?"

Qin Lan was troubled when she saw the full basket of fish.

"Don't worry, since I can get them back, I will find a way to eat them anyway."

It was still the same old routine. I asked Qin Lan to process the caught fish in the cave, and I went out alone.

Actually it’s not that far away, it’s just not far from where I live.

These days I basically go out to find food, and this time should be the easiest one.

I looked around nearby and what I wanted were some bamboos.

As I expected, I saw bamboo leaves here a few days ago. There is indeed a small bamboo forest ahead.

I picked two of the thickest bamboos and cut them neatly at the roots with a machete.

After a simple removal of branches and leaves, I carried two very thick bamboos back to my residence.

"Don't tell me you were out for so long just to chop two pieces of bamboo."

Qin Lan squinted her eyes and glanced at Zhuzi casually. Perhaps she thought I was out doing something big.

"Otherwise, you don't think I'm just chopping them up for fun because I have nothing better to do."

I simply threw the bamboo on the ground and went to work with the clay.

"Otherwise, this bamboo is thick and hard, and you can't eat it."

"What did you say?"

My ears caught something interesting in Qin Lan's words.

"I mean, this bamboo can't be eaten, why are you cutting it?"

Qin Lan crossed her hands in front of her chest and looked at me calmly.

"Oh My God."

After listening to Qin Lan's words, I suddenly felt like I had an epiphany.

If Qin Lan hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that bamboo is edible.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Lan stood aside, confused by my sudden change of expression.

"You reminded me that bamboo can be eaten. Ugh, no, it's the bamboo shoots underneath that can be eaten. I almost forgot about such a good thing."

As I was talking, I was performing the movements with my hands, and in a short while, the clay was ready.

I brought them into the cave in handfuls.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Qin Lan looked at me in confusion, standing aside at a loss.

"If you want to eat delicious fish tonight, then you can come and help me."

So Qin Lan didn't say anything and just came in to help me.

This process took about 15 minutes. In addition to the clay, I also found some small stones.

Walking into the cave, I mixed stones and soil on both sides to build a stove. I naturally understood that the air circulation in the cave was not convenient.

But if the fire is built outside, it will definitely attract other people in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I have seen the construction video of the Dakota Fire Cave before. The Dakota Fire Cave was dug out of the ground, but the cave is full of rocks, so this condition seems impossible.

So I had to build a stove with clay and stones first.

I sealed all the areas around the stove, except for two openings on top that connected them.

I inserted a bamboo into one of the holes, which served as the air inlet of the Dakota Fire Cave. However, when building the air inlet, I also built a hidden wall on the other side of the air inlet.

The hidden wall divides the air inlet into two openings.

I inserted a bamboo into the larger diameter of the air vent, and placed it in a well-ventilated place. I also inserted a bamboo into the other diameter of the air vent, and led this bamboo to the vegetation and water flow outside.

When the stove was almost built, I went out to find some dry wood and hay.

"Are you planning to make fire by rubbing two sticks together?"

Qin Lan saw me holding the wooden stick and thought I was going to imitate the ancients and make fire by rubbing two sticks together.

"I'm not that stupid."

I broke the stick into small pieces and threw them into the stove. While I was doing this, I took out the flint and a piece of quartz stone I had just found from my backpack.

"With this, we still haven't fallen to the point of rubbing sticks together to make fire."

I aligned the flint and quartz stone, with the hay and birch bark I had prepared in advance placed under my feet.

After a simple friction, a small flame rose from the dry grass.

I looked at the rising flame and quickly gave it oxygen.

With the nourishment of oxygen, the flames quickly shot up.
