This mountain almost extends into the sea, as a large portion of it is submerged.
There were indeed many trees around, but the fire had spread to this area. Although it didn't burn them all, it burned a large part of them.
But in the current situation, having some trees is better than having none. At least with these trees, it won't be so troublesome for us to collect firewood and branches.
Wang Ping and the others were incredibly excited. Bai Wei and his group immediately rushed to the front, ran to the foot of the mountain, and carefully looked around. After doing so, Bai Wei couldn't help but smile with great joy.
“Zhao Sihai, this place is great! Look, it’s nestled against the mountains and by the water. In terms of feng shui, this is definitely a treasure land! And look, although the mountain is very high, the steps are very gentle. If we go up there to live, it will be easy to come and go. Most importantly, there is often some food by the sea. Even if we don’t come out of the woods now, we won’t starve to death. It’s much better than our previous camp in the mountains.”
Hearing Bai Wei say this, Chen Jian curled his lip at Bai Wei: "Well, I think this matter has its advantages and disadvantages. Although this place is nestled against the mountains and by the water, don't forget that this strange deserted island can still be hit by tsunamis. What if another tsunami happens one day and washes away this mountain again? Let's see what you do then?"
Wang Ping was amused by Chen Jian's words and quickly came over, only to see Chen Jian's speechless expression.
"Do you know what a mountain is? Even if a tsunami is powerful, it probably can't shake a mountain like this. But what you said makes some sense. After all, if a tsunami really happens, it's so big that it will inevitably reach the mountaintop, and our camp that we built there will also be destroyed. So we really need to think about this carefully and see if there are any other good solutions."
I nodded as well, because I hadn't expected that Xiao He and the others would actually lead us to such a campsite.
Xiao He relaxed and looked at me with a big smile: "Brother Zhao, isn't this place nice? If we can't get out for a while, it'll be safer to camp here. After all, besides the fierce wild beasts, there are also those hostile natives in this forest. With our high vantage point, we're practically invincible. Even if those natives wanted to attack us, it wouldn't be easy."
I nodded. That's true. But ever since those indigenous people attacked us last time and were driven back by the Miraculous Cry, they haven't shown up at all.
"Alright, since we're planning to camp here, let's take a good look around the area around this mountain, and then take two people to the top of the mountain to check the conditions. If it's stable, we can start preparing to build the wooden house now. If it's not stable, we should also check if there are any caves around the mountain."
Wang Ping and his colleagues nodded and immediately called over a few male colleagues. They quickly split into two groups and went to check around the mountain.
I then took Chen Jian, Xiao He, and the others up the mountain.
Some female colleagues and two relatively strong male colleagues were left on the ground to watch Wang Xiaoxiao, Liu Jiaojiao, and the tools we were using.
To be honest, this mountain is quite high, and it's very strenuous to climb it. So if we really want to set up camp on this mountain, we'll have to find a way to transport the seawater up, just like before.
Although there may not be time to find fresh water in the future, and it may be a bit troublesome to get water, in such extreme circumstances, having water to drink is already a blessing.
The mountaintop is relatively flat, unlike the campsite we had in the woods which had a slight slope. However, this mountaintop is seven or eight times larger than the previous one. If you're not good-looking, you probably can't even see anyone standing on this side.
Chen Jian circled around for a moment, then couldn't help but show a happy expression on his face: "Brother Sihai, actually, setting up camp here is a great idea. Think about it, we're right here by the sea, which is much better than being deep in the mountains and forests. Besides, we can see the boats coming and going around us at any time. If we happen to encounter a boat coming here, we can leave. After all, I've almost gone crazy staying here for more than a year."
To be honest, not only is Chen Jian going crazy, but I've gone crazy several times already.
But in this situation, I could only suppress my rage.
I nodded and looked around again. This place really did give me a sense of being on top of the world. If there were any problems at sea from here, we could spot them immediately.
Moreover, this mountain is much larger than the previous one. Even if the giants we saw in that cave wanted to climb it, it would probably take them several minutes.
This gives us many more chances to escape.
I was on the mountaintop planning how to organize the land, how to cut down trees, and how to rebuild the mountain for profit when I suddenly heard Wang Ping shouting.
He was in a hurry, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
Hearing Wang Ping's shouts, Chen Jian looked at me and frowned: "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you now? What's making you shout like that?"
I glared at Chen Jian and said, "Don't mess with Wang Ping, or I'll go down and badmouth you. See if Wang Ping beats you up."
Hearing what I said, Chen Jian shrank back and said, "Brother Sihai, you don't have to treat our relationship like this, do you? But judging from Brother Wang's voice, something really must have happened. Let's go down and check it out quickly."
I nodded and hurriedly followed Chen Jian down the mountain. When we got to the bottom, I saw that Wang Ping's face was flushed, and he was obviously very excited.
Before I could even speak, Wang Ping grabbed my hand, which made me feel a little uneasy. But thankfully, after spending so much time together, I knew that Wang Ping's sexual orientation was quite normal, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly looked at Wang Ping and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"
Wang Ping looked at me and rattled off a long string of words almost without taking a breath.
"Sihai, what do you think we found here?"
Seeing Wang Ping so nervous and excited, I was momentarily stunned: "What did you find? A dinosaur fossil, or Tang Sanzang?"
When Wang Ping heard what I said, I frowned and was taken aback for a moment. Then he clicked his tongue at me and said with a beaming smile, "What are you talking about? We've found a cave here, and it's full of gold! Come on, I'll take you to see it!"
After saying that, Wang Ping grabbed me and ran towards the left.
