Depressed, irritable and suppressed emotions spread silently under the continuous drizzle.
At some point, the team, which was originally full of laughter and discussion, gradually became quiet and silent, leaving only increasingly heavy bodies and increasingly tired steps.
Even Yu Yu, who thought he was in good physical condition, felt this tiredness, and even his head was dizzy from the intermittent drizzle.
So, the next moment, Yu Yu stopped, lowered his head and couldn't help but start rummaging through his backpack. It took him a lot of effort to take out the last pack of biscuits that were crushed beyond recognition from the innermost part of the backpack.
So, when the members were dizzy and struggling to walk in front with heavy steps, they suddenly heard a slight "crunching" sound behind them, like a small animal gnawing on something quickly. Turning around, they saw a guy walking at the end with his head down. He had taken out a pack of biscuits from somewhere and was gnawing on them quickly and elegantly.
“…”
Well... Actually, there's nothing wrong with eating biscuits halfway through the journey. After all, they are climbing a mountain and are consuming a lot of physical strength. It's normal to eat a biscuit to replenish energy, but the problem is... It's raining now, isn't it? Eating biscuits in the rain...???
But the owner who was chewing the biscuits didn't think so. In her opinion, it was just a matter of replenishing energy because she was hungry and didn't want to resist anymore.
Well, this is not the point. The point is that this little girl with a delicate face is being filmed live with a close-up shot. Not to mention girls, even boys will pay attention to it subconsciously. After all, with the current shooting distance, every move will be clearly captured on camera and it is unavoidable, although Yu Yu's eating movements are not ugly.
But Lin Yinghou, who was closer to Yu Yu, subconsciously wanted to stretch out her hand to block the camera, but before her hand could block it, Yu Yu stopped chewing the biscuits, raised her head, exhaled sharply, and suddenly stretched out her hand to tie up her black hair neatly, revealing a smooth forehead and a face that looked much more energetic.
Seeing the other members looking at her, she smiled brightly and said, "Have a cookie, and then we'll find where to camp tonight."
As he spoke, Yu Yu handed over the remaining half packet of biscuits. Perhaps it was because Yu Yu's movements were too natural, or perhaps it was because that brilliant smile was too dazzling, anyway, they didn't know why they subconsciously took the half packet of biscuits, one piece of which was just enough for each of them... But as they chewed the biscuits slowly, they gradually calmed down.
Emperor Gu even caught some rainwater in his hands, washed his face, and took a long breath before speaking again, "Then... let's set up camp first. Does anyone see a suitable place to camp?"
"Well... I just noticed that there seems to be a relatively open place over there. Maybe we should go over there and see if it's appropriate?" Bo Tianwang pointed in a direction they had just passed.
The stagnant team started moving again. The rain was still falling, but their steps had become lighter. Although there were still not many people talking at this moment, the expressions on their faces had become relaxed again.
It took about half an hour to decide on the location for their camp. Queen Lin volunteered to go around with Yang Yang to look for dry firewood suitable for burning and not too wet, and to see if they could bring anything back. The remaining four people all stayed to help build the house.
After all, if the rain continues to fall like this, they must first build a house to shelter from the rain. Otherwise, at night, they will be unable to shelter from the rain all night long, and they will not be able to light a fire to keep warm, and they will be very likely to catch a cold and get sick.
Yu Yu and Gu Yingdi, who were stronger, quickly collected some thicker tree trunks that could serve as supports, while Jiang Huan and Bo Tiansheng, who were weaker, mainly collected thinner tree trunks to serve as 'walls' and 'floors', as well as some large leaves that could serve as cover.
The progress was gradually increasing. The shape of the house was similar to the one built on the previous deserted island, but because it was raining continuously on this island, they also had to consider shelter from the rain and the location of the heating stove.
Considering the space inside the house, it was finally decided to use eight thick tree trunks as support pillars, four outside and four inside. After they were firmly tied, floor support pillars were placed horizontally between every two adjacent support pillars, forming a bottom surface like a nine-square grid.
Then Bo Tianwang and Jiang Huan put the relatively thin tree trunks they had collected one by one to form a surface, and tied them up with thick rattan, leaving space in the middle for a stove.
After the foundation of the house was almost completed, it was time to build the roof. Taking rainy days into consideration, it was finally decided to make the roof into a triangular shape. This way, water can flow directly down from both sides and will not accumulate on top. With the experience of building the foundation, building the roof was much easier and faster.
Little by little, the outline of the house took shape. After Lin Yinghou and Yang Yang came back, they put down their things without saying a word and joined the army of people building the house, helping to build the walls to keep out the rain. Since they were not going to live there for a long time, as long as they could survive, the walls around them were much simpler than the solid floor and roof. They only used a few thicker tree trunks tied together in a "well" shape, and covered them with large leaves to keep out the rain.
Three sides were built in this way, except for the side that was sheltered from the wind and less susceptible to rain. At Jiang Huan's suggestion, no "wall" was built. Instead, two more pillars were added in the front, and a roof was casually built. When the rainproof cloth was pulled, it became an open "shed", which made the house extremely ventilated.
When the house was completely built, it was already dark. Everyone was so tired that they hardly wanted to say a word. After some effort to light the fire, they gathered around the fire and roasted the green bananas that they had not finished eating and the little bit of cassava that was left.
As he was eating, Jiang Huan didn't even realize that he had lowered his head and was snoring softly. He fell asleep with a bite of roasted banana still in his hand.
The others could only smile bitterly as they quietly moved Jiang Huan to a comfortable position and covered him with a piece of clothing to rest. They themselves could hardly open their eyes, so they swallowed the food in their mouths whole, then staggered around to find a position they thought was more comfortable, spread out their coats, and lay down. Soon, the camp was filled with the sound of breathing.
The night had passed without us noticing.
