There are so many killer crabs. Rushing over is nothing more than adding some food to their meals. I shouldn't care about it. But I couldn't bear to see such a beautiful woman become meat in the mouths of those crabs.
I still ran back and held Yunwen's hand. She looked at me in surprise and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The first few killer crabs that came over squeaked and I watched their movements and heard the strong winds formed when they moved. I had also figured out the attack methods and movement trajectories of these killer crabs before, so I had some idea of it. They moved at a speed of about 7~8m/s, which was faster than the running speed of an ordinary adult. They mostly attacked with their claws, and if you got too close, they would use all eight legs to entangle you.
After figuring this out, Yunwen and I were no longer so vulnerable to the first few that arrived.
"Let's go!" I pulled Yunwen up, she came to her senses and started running after me.
The fastest one at the back attacked with its long legs and claws, which meant it had given up the entanglement method. This made me happy. The speed and sound of the attack were within my expectations. I immediately lowered my head with Yunwen, leaving the harpoon to be clamped by it. Like the previous one, it was distracted by this and paused for 1 second, blocking the route of the large number of killer crabs behind it.
This second was the life-saving time for Yunwen and me. I immediately pulled Yunwen and ran, and once again put some distance between us and them.
The killer crabs dared to go ashore but did not dare to go too far inside the island shore. When they reached a certain limit, they stopped and soon began to disperse, not daring to move forward.
Yunwen and I lay on the ground, gasping for breath. This whole process was really terrifying.
The rainstorm was pouring down. I thought about it and realized that it was impossible to survive on the shore. First, I could not hide from the rain. Second, there was the threat of killer crabs. Also, there was a shortage of food. As the saying goes, "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water." It was obvious that it was impossible to survive by relying on food from the seaside. The only possibility of survival was to go to the mountains.
"Everyone, listen to me. If we continue to stay here, we will either be eaten by crabs or catch a cold to death from the cold rain. So I suggest that we go to the mountains and find a suitable place to live instead of staying at the beach," I said.
"I don't quite agree. Once we go into the mountains, we will lose the possibility of contacting the outside world. If a rescue ship comes and we miss it, won't we be trapped here forever? The first thing to do when encountering a plane crash is to wait for rescue, and we should actively do so." Yunwen said.
"Brother Zhou Bo, I have placed an 'SOS' sign with stones these past two days. If there are rescue planes and ships passing by, they will be able to see it. But if someone comes to rescue us and we are not here, they will give up the search and rescue." Bai Lu also said.
I sighed. Although I understand their thoughts, I still think they are naive. The chances of being rescued are very small. Robinson Crusoe did this for 28 years. How much better is our current situation compared to them? Are we going to waste 28 years doing this as well?
"I know your concerns, but now, I must tell you about the practical problems. First, it looks like tonight's heavy rain will continue for a long time. If the coastline rises, it means that the killer crabs' hunting range will widen. If we stay here, we will most likely die tonight, let alone wait for rescue. Second, we are already a long distance away from where the plane crashed. It will take seven, eight or even ten days at sea. Even if the rescue team gets to the plane, they will still put us on the death list and will no longer search for us. As for whether the plane can see us when it flies over here, it is impossible for civil aviation to see us at an altitude of more than 10,000 kilometers. Don't even think about it, so don't have any illusions." I said.
"But I don't want to go into the mountains. There are poisonous insects and snakes there. What if I get bitten and poisoned? Besides, I don't like those things." Yingchun stamped her feet anxiously.
"Then you can stay here and play with the crabs. If you don't want to be bitten by poisonous insects, you can let the crabs bite you." I mocked.
"Tsk...!" Yingchun exhaled angrily.
"We are short of food now. We may be able to hunt in the mountains and survive for a day or two. We can also get fresh water and find a place to shelter from the rain. It's better than the shore anyway. What do you think?" I said.
Seeing how insistent I was, Yunwen could only nod reluctantly. Bailu changed her understanding of the pros and cons from my words and nodded as well. Finally, seeing that everyone nodded, Yingchun said, "Okay, okay, let's go, but we have to make it clear that you must take protective measures for me and don't let those disgusting things get close to me."
Just like that, we reached a unanimous agreement. The difficulty was that the supplies were still near the campfire, and I went to get them. It was extremely thrilling, but fortunately, I was safe.
Then, I took out the rope, held the rope end, asked them to hold the rope tightly, and led them to walk the route I usually took. The rope was to prevent anyone from falling behind.
Yunwen was afraid that I would think I was taking special care of her, so she stood at the end, while Yingchun hurriedly followed behind me, which meant she was the first in line, for fear that I would lose her.
Not only that, during the process, she was always careless and didn't pull the rope enough. Several times, she pulled the edge of my pants, which affected my movements and made me extremely disgusted.
The heavy rain continued, the thunder continued, and the dark night sky was cut into clear cracks by lightning.
The road ahead was difficult and muddy, and we had a hard time moving forward. We got lost several times. Fortunately, we left marks, otherwise we would have lost the way in such weather.
However, everything has two sides, with pros and cons, and cons also have pros. The heavy rain also made many wild animals unable to move in the dark, which also alleviated the crisis in the forest for us.
We got soaked quite a bit that night, but finally, with my correct judgment of the route, we found the hillside where we had dug the spring. Not far from here, there was another protruding rock, which was just right for us to squat under to keep out the rain. There was no coal or other things left, and no dry firewood. The weather was humid, and it was freezing cold tonight. We could only shiver and there was nothing we could do.
"I can't stand it anymore, it's too painful!" Song Yingchun was the first to surrender, her teeth were chattering.
"Zhou Bo, everyone is too cold. Do you have any way to give us some comfort?" Zhang Yunwen said.
"Yes, but I'm afraid some people will say I'm a pervert, so forget it. It will be fine after tonight," I said.
"No, I can't stand it for a moment... Mr. Zhou, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly, don't be hesitant, I promise not to blame you, okay?" Song Yingchun said.
Song Bailu couldn't bear to see her sister suffer from the cold, so she begged me to come.
"Okay, this is something you begged me to do, not something I proposed on my own initiative. Don't use this to cause trouble later," I said.
"Just tell me, don't waste time. I'm almost frozen into an ice cube." Song Yingchun said.
"Okay, the solution is very simple. Everyone take off their wet clothes and put them aside. The four of us will stand close together, and our body temperatures can promote the increase in temperature, and also maintain the temperature and keep each other warm. This is the solution. If you can't bring yourself to do it, I won't force you. Just don't make it seem like I have bad intentions." I said.
The girls looked at each other, their faces blushing. After all, they had reached the point of physical intimacy, so they still needed to work through the psychological aspects.
"I...I agree, this is indeed a solution." Song Bailu said.
"Sister, you...Okay, I agree. As long as you're not cold, that's fine." Song Yingchun's face was already blushing, as red as a ripe tomato.
