Actually, avoiding these indigenous people or preventing them from coming is not difficult. The trouble is that the indigenous people can tame these wild animals.

But these wild beasts are the most troublesome.

They have excellent jumping ability, are good at hiding, are agile, and attack with swift movements, sharp claws, and very robust bodies.

It would be difficult for a normal adult man to deal with a lynx, let alone with so many women in our camp.

Therefore, these lynxes are impossible to guard against, and you never know when they will attack you from the shadows.

I looked at the trees around me, and now I had a headache. When I first found this grove of trees, I thought it was a great place.

They say that people who live near mountains live off the mountains and people who live near water live off the water. We originally thought that these trees could provide us with some shelter, but now we never expected that these trees, which were originally supposed to provide us with shelter, would become our biggest headache.

But even with this headache, there's no way to cut down all the trees, so we have to find another way.

Chen Jian also took a sip of soup, feeling quite comfortable, with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing his contentment, I was genuinely happy for him.

"Brother Sihai, I think there's a feasible method, but it's going to be quite troublesome, though it should be effective."

Seeing Chen Jian like this, I couldn't help but sigh and say, "When did you learn to be so mysterious? Just tell me what you mean. Since you think this is feasible, then tell me, what is the method?"

Chen Jian scratched his head, and only when he touched the wound on his hand did he wince in pain.

“I remember you mentioned before that you wanted to make some vine nets to put over our camp? But then I thought about it, even if these vine nets were put over the camp, they would be very troublesome. Besides, although the area of ​​our mountaintop is not large, it would be really not easy for you to set up such a large net.”

"And even if you can cover the top, do you think you can cover the surrounding area from all sides? That's impossible."

After hearing Chen Jian's words, Wang Ping threw two more pieces of dry firewood into the campfire, somewhat impatiently saying, "So what exactly do you mean? Hurry up and tell us, everyone's waiting to hear it."

Seeing Wang Ping's anxiety, Chen Jian chuckled and said, "So, I came up with a solution: instead of letting our vine nets reach the top, we can just cover the trees directly."

"Firstly, if these lynxes want to come up the mountain, they must use these trees as support to jump to the top. Otherwise, they can only run directly up from the bottom of the mountain. So if we cover all the trees with vine nets, then these lynxes will be blocked from coming and won't be able to come so easily."

"And if these lynxes want to climb up from the bottom of the mountain, it's even easier. We have guns and spears. It's much better for you to fight these beasts from a high place than for them to jump down from the trees and attack you from behind, right?"

When I heard Chen Jian's analysis, I was truly amazed. I never expected that this guy would have a daughter and suddenly have his Ren and Du meridians opened up; his mind is now incredibly sharp.

However, this matter is indeed very troublesome, just as Chen Jian said.

First of all, the forest around us is not small. If we want to make a vine that can completely surround the trees, it would be an extremely large project.

However, for safety reasons, such things are unavoidable.

I nodded, and Bai Wei and the others had no objections either.

"Alright, let's get this done tomorrow. Once everyone's had their fill, let's go and repair that gate. We should also set up more campfires down the mountain in case anything unexpected happens tonight."

Everyone went down the mountain to continue their work. The female colleagues carefully divided the bonfires on the mountain into several smaller ones, and several bonfires were placed in front of almost all the wooden houses, instantly illuminating the entire mountaintop.

Liu Jiaojiao is still unconscious. Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang are still there with her. Xu Wei is currently tidying up the campsite for us and applying medicine to the other female colleagues.

There are many short-legged birds in the backyard, and this time a lynx came up, so we suffered a heavy loss.

These lynxes, unable to fight humans, killed the birds instead. We already had over 20, but tonight's fight resulted in the deaths of six or seven more. Fortunately, the lynxes didn't carry away the short-legged birds, so even though they died, we can wash, dry, and preserve them for later use.

Xu Wei won't be able to sleep tonight either, as she's been busy helping several female colleagues who aren't seriously injured.

They went down the mountain and forcibly propped up the wooden door, only to find that the tree that had originally supported the door was now crooked and its roots were loose.

It's easy to imagine how much effort these indigenous people used to try and break in.

I still can't help but feel scared. If these indigenous people really had come here, what cruel methods would they have used against us?

Are you going to kill us one by one, then hang us upside down from trees to bleed us dry?

Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. We spent the entire night planning what we needed to do tomorrow.

Finally, Chen Jian and two male colleagues stayed in the camp to watch over the female colleagues and Liu Jiaojiao, while the rest of us needed to go outside to collect tree vines, arrange them into nets, and then cover the trees with the nets as Chen Jian had instructed.

However, we have already used up most of the vines in the vicinity, so if we want to find these vines, we have to go to a more distant place.

In the end, we decided that we should all go to one spot together to avoid getting separated.

The next morning, we set off with some dry food and dried meat.

Although Chen Jian hadn't slept all night, he was full of energy. Before leaving, he told us to be careful, and that he would be waiting for us at the camp.

I'm also worried about my female colleagues, and I don't know if the indigenous people won't come during the day.

He instructed Chen Jian to be careful of the surroundings and to fire a shot into the air if anything happened, because even if we left, we wouldn't go too far and would definitely come back to support us in time.

"Brother Sihai, don't worry, leave the camp to me, I will protect them with my life."

After leaving the camp, we headed west, because we didn't pick any vines in that area.

We had picked mushrooms there before; there were lots of vines. But when we got there, we found that there were actually people in another place.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same group of foreigners from the beach earlier.

Six or seven foreigners, each holding a gun and weapons, sat cautiously around the tree roots, seemingly resting. However, judging from their close proximity and the fact that they kept their guns close at hand, it was clear that they were very vigilant.

Wang Ping frowned as he looked at the group: "How did they find this place? Could it be that Lin Xubo already told them the location of our camp, and since they couldn't recruit us, they're resorting to a direct assault?"
