Yang Rui was still somewhat reluctant to leave, but it was clear that there was no point in staying here any longer.
And the thought of that rabbit makes me even more uneasy.
It would be difficult for these indigenous people to attack our camp, since we have done everything we could to fortify the area around it.
But if we were to see a rabbit like that around our camp, we probably wouldn't have much of a chance of survival, since that rabbit would likely be no different from the one on our hill.
If it takes one step, all our previous efforts will be in vain.
I dared not provoke it, after all, there was a huge disparity in strength between us.
If I had enough bullets and guns, I might dare to fight it, but I don't dare now.
I cannot gamble with my own life and the lives of everyone else.
So the best option now is to obediently return to our camp.
We dared not linger any longer, not even daring to look around, and hurriedly returned to the camp.
When we arrived, the cold wind blew against our skin, making us shiver.
Wang Xiaoxiao and the others stayed huddled in the warehouse where we ate, waiting.
When they saw us return, they looked us up and down and asked us what had happened. The news of the giant rabbit quickly spread among the crowd, and everyone's expressions became somewhat strange.
Xiao Qiang was most worried and moved closer to me, holding my hand tightly, her thin body trembling constantly.
"Sihai, tell me, what kind of place have we ended up in? Why are there always such strange things? Why did that rabbit turn into this? Is there actually a land of giants here, and we all come from a land of dwarfs?"
If this were said in a city, I'd probably burst out laughing. After all, how could there possibly be a country of giants or a country of dwarfs in this world?
After experiencing so many strange things on this deserted island, I realized that nothing in this world is impossible.
If it were before, I wouldn't have believed that there could be such a big rabbit in the world, but after seeing it for myself, I couldn't help but believe it.
"Let's put this matter behind us for now. Fortunately, the air is warmer over there, while it's already deep winter here. I don't think their larger monsters will come here, so let's not provoke them. Let's just keep to ourselves and stay out of each other's way, just like before."
Wang Ping was a little worried: "But I think if spring really comes and the flowers bloom, will those things come back? Do you remember the last time we went out to look for Xiao He, we saw that huge white-furred monster on the beach? At the time, I wondered what it was, but now that I think about it, it looked more like a rat!"
"Those rats are really terrifying to even think about. So it seems that our camp's security measures were not adequate. We can manage against the indigenous people, but if we encounter such ferocious animals, we might not even last one wave before we are all wiped out. I plan to replan these next few days and see if there are any better ways to improve the security around us."
Wang Ping nodded, and the two talked about other things. Chen Jian brought over some soup and asked us to eat something first.
It's getting colder and colder today. My clothes are all torn. Although wearing a wolf skin is fine, it's still inconvenient.
We have no silk thread or cloth here, so it's really tough everywhere.
I know Chen Jian is complaining like this, after all, I am going through the same situation right now. My clothes are already tattered and worn out, even worse than Chen Jian's.
Wearing the wolf skin was indeed much better, but when you needed to use the toilet, wash clothes, or go to sleep at night, once you took off the wolf skin, you would shiver from the cold.
If even I, a grown man, am like this, then how unbearable must it be for us female colleagues?
Xiao Qiang and the others have been trying to find a substitute, but they haven't found one yet. Besides, I know nothing about this kind of thing and can't help at all.
Now all we can do is hope that this harsh winter will pass soon.
I went back to the wooden house early in the evening, feeling a bit sleepy and even more shocked by what had happened in the past two days.
I still don't know how long I've been stranded on this deserted island. My watch has long since run out of battery, and I don't even know the exact time now.
Although those foreigners had watches on their hands, they all gripped them tightly, as if afraid of losing them.
After all, we live here like savages, and the watch on our wrist is the only thing that allows us to connect with the outside world.
Lying on the wooden bed, I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The cold wind outside howled and wailed incessantly, making my eardrums ache.
The fire in the stove crackled and popped, and although the temperature wasn't comfortable, it wasn't too cold either.
All night long, my mind was a jumbled mess, and I couldn't find a coherent thread.
When I woke up the next morning, I went down the mountain to chop firewood and built a new campfire. Just as I was about to fetch water to make soup, I suddenly discovered that there were many spiders next to the cave. They were constantly spinning webs, and they were stacked on top of each other, looking very diligent.
Looking at these little animals, a sense of hope welled up in my heart. Their living environment wasn't very good either, but they didn't give up.
If we can really persevere together, I believe we will eventually return to the city.
There will come a day when we can leave this awful place.
But as I looked at them, I suddenly realized that the silk these spiders were pulling out was different from the silk I usually saw.
These silk threads shimmered faintly in the rising sun.
Almost instinctively, I reached out and touched the spider webs. But the sensation in my hand surprised me. I found that the spider silk was very resilient, and even when I pulled it into my hand and applied force, it still didn't break.
And it still retains that kind of light, but the spiders are indeed frightened and have scattered in all directions, leaving behind only the web that is not yet finished.
I touched the spider web again and realized that the spider silk was much more resilient than the cotton thread we use...
Feeling a surge of excitement, he shouted Xiao Qiang's name loudly towards the mountaintop.
Not long after, Xiao Qiang looked at me sleepily from the mountaintop: "What's wrong? Did something happen in Sihai?"
I was a little excited, even a little incoherent: "Quick, quick! I think I've found something that can replace cloth."
