"Look over there, isn't that a ship?!"
Lu Xuan pointed to the sea on the east side and rushed to the bamboo wall excitedly.
This was already the second ship he had discovered in just a few days, so how could he not be excited? Moreover, this ship seemed to be closer to the coastline than the one he had discovered a few days earlier.
"It looks a bit like it...it would be nice if I could row over and take a look."
Chen Keyin followed Lu Xuan's steps and quickly walked to the bamboo forest wall. She widened her eyes and stared at the sea on the east side.
"Why does this feel a bit strange? Logically, it's still daybreak, so a ship should have lights on while sailing. Why is this ship completely dark? It looks creepy. Could it be a ghost ship?"
Yin Yichen raised a question at this time. Although the second half of the sentence was a bit far-fetched, it was estimated that this girl had watched a lot of horror movies at home.
After hearing Yin Yichen's words, Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao looked at each other, as if they read a possibility from each other's eyes.
"Our yacht!"
The two of them shouted almost in unison.
Although everyone could only vaguely see the shape of a ship due to the distance, but as Yin Yichen said, if it was really a ship sailing normally, there should be some light in this early morning when the sun has not yet fully risen.
Lu Xuan, Leng Mengyao, and Chen Keyin had all seen their stranded yacht up close, so if it wasn't a passing ship, it was very likely the yacht that was swept back into the sea by the waves.
"Lu Xuan, it's so far away. Even if it's really our yacht, we can't get on it."
Shen Keyin asked a very tricky and quite realistic question.
"Let's put this aside for now. The rain has stopped and daybreak is almost here. Let's pack up and count our supplies before heading back. Everyone, please put as much of the scattered supplies as you can into my backpack. I'll take the generator, two boxes of compressed biscuits, bedding, the compass, clothes, and everything else... you guys will have to work hard."
Lu Xuan did not directly answer Shen Keyin's question. Although a crazy idea had already popped up in his mind, in the current situation, the more important thing was to send the girls and the supplies back to their cave safely.
Other things need to be considered later.
Although everyone was reluctant to leave the yacht that was floating on the sea and seemed to be their own, the three girls knew that even if there were countless delicacies from land and sea, abalone and lobster on the yacht, for them at the moment, they were just the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror.
The only things that can be seen and touched are the supplies in the cave in front of us.
Lu Xuan quickly climbed out of the small hole at the back of the cave. After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Lu Xuan asked the three girls to pass the looted supplies to him one by one from the cave entrance.
After making sure that they had taken away everything they needed, the three girls crawled out of the cave one after another.
“I feel this place is pretty good, but I don’t know when I can come back…”
As she was about to say goodbye to the cave, Chen Keyin felt a little reluctant to leave.
"Don't worry, this place is now our second base. We will come back sooner or later."
Lu Xuan's words were not meant to comfort Shen Keyin. As he said, although this place was not as good as his own cave, it could be considered a temporary residence. If he encountered any situation when he went out in the future, it would not be impossible to find a temporary place to stay if it was closer to this place.
What's more, thanks to the efforts of several people, the entrance to the cave has been sealed, which is enough to resist ordinary jackals, tigers and leopards.
Lu Xuan had surveyed the entire island from a high vantage point. It was vast, its terrain complex. He also knew that, up to this point, he had only explored a small corner of the island. If he wanted to explore further afield in the future, having a few temporary bases would be crucial.
Several people discussed the division of labor.
As a man, Lu Xuan naturally carried the most high-quality hand-cranked generator.
Holding a generator in one hand, a machete in the other, and a backpack on his back, Lu Xuan walked at the front of the team.
Shen Keyin found a piece of hemp rope in Lu Xuan's backpack, tied up the bedding, put it on her back, and followed Lu Xuan closely with a weapon in hand.
At the end of the team were Leng Mengyao and Yin Yichen, each carrying a box of compressed biscuits in one hand and a harpoon in the other.
The four of them started walking back on the muddy ground with the full bag of supplies.
Since it had just rained heavily, the road was naturally much more difficult to walk on than the way here. There was still water in some places, and everyone had a hard time walking. Almost every few steps, they had to carefully consider what to do next.
Fortunately, the sky was cooperating. As the shy orange-red color on the eastern horizon gradually spread, the sun was gently awakened like a sleeping giant, and its dazzling sunlight was poured into the jungle. Soon, the accumulated water on the ground began to evaporate rapidly, and the muddy road became much firmer.
Near noon, the four people, who had been hiking for a long time, finally saw the lake in their backyard.
Since the return journey is several times more difficult than the outbound journey, it also takes much longer than the outbound journey.
The four of them returned to the cave, all tired and hungry, and sat down on the ground to take a nap.
However, seeing that there were a lot more supplies in the cave, everyone felt that although the journey was tiring, it was still worth it.
Lu Xuan lit a bonfire and carefully checked the bamboo wall in his front yard. Everything was intact, which meant that no one had invaded his territory while he was away.
The four of them sat around the barbecue grill and filled their stomachs. The three girls then clamored to go to the lake to sunbathe together.
Lu Xuan was standing on the beach in the front yard, still looking towards the east. Unfortunately, this place was too far away from the yacht floating in the sea. Even though Lu Xuan had eyesight that was almost that of an airplane captain, he could not locate the position of the yacht.
Sighing, Lu Xuan returned to the barbecue grill and studied the small generator while eating grilled fish.
Although this thing doesn't have great power, it has many functions. Lu Xuan tried to light the fire by hand cranking it, which was convenient and quick, much faster than using a flint.
Lu Xuan even took out the strange mobile phone. Unfortunately, Lu Xuan already knew that the charging plug of this mobile phone was also very different. Unless he could find a charging plug specifically for this phone, he would not be able to charge this phone.
Just when Lu Xuan was still thinking about how to use the generator in some new ways, he suddenly heard the girls' roars coming from the back of the cave.
“Ah~~~”
Such a sharp voice, it was obviously Shen Keyin's.
Lu Xuan threw down the precious generator without hesitation and ran to the back of the cave...
