Chapter 1058 Help with the work
"Completely sure? On this island?" Lucas stopped eating roasted gray plover. "He doesn't even know where we are!"
Montraser said, "In fact, he made a judgment based on the weather characteristics, ocean currents, flora and fauna, and climate characteristics here."
Paula picked up a stick and drew two circles on the ground. "This is Africa, and this is South America. Although the monster doesn't know our exact location, it guessed we're on an island somewhere along the line from South America to Uruguay."
As she spoke, she drew a parallel line connecting the two circles.
"Can we trust what that guy said?" Alvaro asked, looking at the picture on the ground.
Paula said, "I don't know exactly what he does, but after spending the past few days with him, I feel like he's the kind of person who knows everything and can do everything. He was the one who told us about the 'kidnapping incident,' and he seems to know more about Mayer's life story than we do."
After hearing this, Lucas touched Paula's butt and said, "Didn't he make you feel so good when you slept with him? Why are you praising him so much?"
After hearing this, Paula said, "Are you jealous that I slept with him? He's amazing! Montraser can prove it. What? You were the ones who made us sleep with him, and now you're feeling uncomfortable?"
Lucas was furious: "You fucking ..."
He didn't finish his words when Alvaro grabbed his shoulder and said, "Paula, ignore this jerk, just keep talking! Even if we know our location now, it doesn't mean we can escape from this island!"
Montraser said, "He told us that if we tie up the raft and keep heading north, if his judgment is correct, there's a warm South Atlantic current northwest of the island. If we can find that current and keep heading north, and if all goes well, we'll reach the shipping route from South America to Africa in about ten to fifteen days. From there, we'll easily be rescued!"
"Will this work?" Alvaro frowned and looked at Montraser.
Montraser said, "I asked him this question before, and he said that the ancients over 2,000 years ago were able to navigate by observing ocean currents and wind direction. At that time, they didn't understand the laws of monsoons and ocean currents. We have made great technological advances now. Although we still know very little about the ocean, we do know the basics of ocean currents, monsoons, and shipping routes. As long as we build a raft that can break away from this island and keep heading north, we can be easily rescued!"
"A raft that ran off this island?" Lucas discovered the problem.
Montraser pointed at the waves crashing against the shore and said, "Why did our life raft drift to this island? According to Mr. Monster, the surface currents are attracted to these islands, and it's these surface currents that brought us here. The current doesn't seem that strong to us, but it's actually difficult to get us out with just human power. In his words, we need to use human power first, then use the sails to speed up and break free from the island's gravity. Then we can head north!"
"Is it that simple?" Alvaro obviously didn't believe her.
Paula nodded and said, "Those are his exact words. He told us there's no need to be nervous. He said that according to his calculations, the chances of being rescued are over 95%. Now we have no choice but to believe him, right?"
Alvaro held his chin and said, "You're right. If we want to escape from here, we have no choice but to trust him... But the problem now is: we don't know how to build a raft, so we need to help him build it as soon as possible. Also, there are five of us here, so we need more food and fresh water!"
After hearing this, Paula said, "You make it sound easy! We are the ones doing the work, not you! We have to fish and cut trees! Do we have it easy?"
Lucas said, "At least you can eat cooked food. Look at what we eat? Raw bird eggs every day! Look at my hands!" He then showed his hands to Paula and the other girl. His palms were covered with various scars. "They say you can make fire by rubbing two sticks together, but my hands are all worn out and I still can't make a fire!"
Paula asked curiously, "Didn't I give you fire?"
Lucas said angrily, "How can we keep the fire here? Do you think we have such a good rainproof tent like you guys? We used countless palm leaves to build the tent, but because there were no ropes to fix it, it couldn't withstand the wind at all!"
After hearing this, Montraser pointed to a shrub in the forest and said, "The bark of this shrub is very tough. If you peel it off and dry it, you can use it as rope. If it's not strong enough, you can use several strands together!"
"Really?" Lucas became interested.
Paula pointed to the ground on the other side and said, "You see, there's some dried rope over there. That weirdo said we could use this with the rubber ring to tie the raft together. It's definitely strong enough. We've been making ropes these past few days! Lucas, you said your hand was injured? Look at our hands! We're twisting ropes every day!"
Montrasse said angrily, "This monster has no mercy on women! He keeps asking us to do this and that all day long! Doesn't he feel sorry for us?"
Alvaro smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you after we leave here! Now we have to help him build this raft and steal it when the chance arises! Let this monster stay here alone! Paula, Montrase, hold on a little longer, you have to get more information out of him! Let's go back and live our rich lives!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and they were all looking forward to their wonderful life in the future!
Alvaro said, "Let's eat our fill while he's away! It would be bad if he comes back and sees us!"
But Paula said, "It's okay. He said it takes four hours to swim from here to the shipwreck, and another four hours to get back. Including the search time, it will take at least eight hours to get back. We have plenty of time! But don't mess around. If he finds any traces, it will be troublesome!"
"Swimming for more than eight hours? He really is a monster!" Lucas said in shock.
Alvaro thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat first, and then use this time to help Paula and the others with their work!"
"Ah? Work? What?" Lucas was stunned.
"Of course, we'll help them chop trees and make ropes!" Alvaro said. "The sooner they make the raft, the sooner we can leave here!"
Lucas sighed after hearing this and said, "I have to work here..."
"This is for us to get out of this as soon as possible!" Alvaro patted Lucas on the shoulder.
"Brother, I understand, I understand!" Lucas took a big bite of the roasted gray plover: "I'm going to eat it! I can only work after I'm full!"
