David, who was obviously the thinnest survivor, quickly said, "Remember! Boss Puyol, don't worry! I will take good care of Little John … "
Xia Ruofei stood at the entrance of the cave and said with a smile, "Our place of work is on the beach not far from here. If you need anything, just shout and you will hear it. Don't worry, Puyol!"
Puyol rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile, "Yes! Mr. Immortal! Let's go! "
The other survivors quickly took all their tools and followed Puyol out of the cave.
When Puyol and the others arrived at the entrance of the cave, they immediately saw dozens of huge logs and a large pile of old vines on the beach not far away. They were all shocked speechless. If they had to prepare so much wood, it would take them half a month to prepare. After all, it was already very difficult to cut down trees with primitive tools, and such heavy logs had to be transported from the forest. It would be very good if they could get one log a day.
In the eyes of Puyol and the others, Xia Ruofei could prepare so much wood and vines in one night. It was definitely the work of an immortal.
"Mr. Immortal, this …" Puyol said in shock, "Did you prepare all this by yourself?"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! It's too inefficient to cut the wood by yourself. I'm in a hurry … "
Puyol couldn't help but feel ashamed. They had been trapped on this deserted island for so many years, and they couldn't leave even if they wanted to. As long as they could leave this place, even if there was only a little hope, waiting a few more days was nothing!
But this immortal obviously didn't think so.
Xia Ruofei said, "Don't just stand there. Hurry up and get to work!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Puyol said quickly.
The group of people followed Xia Ruofei to the beach and began to work energetically.
Their only requirement for building a raft was that it must be strong enough. They didn't care about aesthetics or comfort, so they didn't even peel off the bark. Puyol and the others were busy cutting down all the branches of the wood, then sawing off the thinner part at the top, cutting out about ten meters of wood.
Then they chiseled a few grooves on the wood, then wrapped the vines around the grooves and tied the wood side by side. The prototype of the raft was formed.
Of course, because Puyol and the others' tools were relatively simple, this work took them a whole day. This was the result of Xia Ruofei's help. Otherwise, it might not be finished in two or three days.
With the addition of Xia Ruofei, the progress of the raft construction was greatly accelerated, especially when it came to binding the vines. Puyol's strength was not bad, so the other two survivors could not bind the vines tightly. However, Xia Ruofei easily tied the vines tightly.
After a day of work, Puyol and the others were exhausted.
As usual, Xia Ruofei didn't stay in the cave with them. Instead, he returned to the formation and went to the Ring-Tu space to rest.
The next day, Xia Ruofei brought Puyol and the others to make some modifications to the raft. For example, they installed a simple mast that could be flattened when not in use. Then the other two survivors used some old cloth found in the camp to sew a jib.
In addition, Xia Ruofei let Puyol and the others use the branches they cut down to nail a simple deck on the raft.
After all, the raft would be permeable after going into the sea. There was a platform that could be used to store supplies, and because they had a baby, the sea was very windy and rough. When the time came, it would be much better to set up a tent on the platform.
After another day of work, the construction of the raft was basically completed.
Puyol took the survivors to the ruins of the camp where they had lived for several years. They dug out everything that might be useful after going out to sea. In addition, they collected a large amount of fresh water from the water source and used all the containers that could be used. They placed all these things on the raft and fixed them with a net of thin rattan.
The raft had more than a dozen logs side by side. It was about five or six meters wide and ten meters long. It was relatively spacious.
On the simple deck, the supplies were stacked in the shape of a "triangle" on the periphery. The concave part in the middle was Xia Ruofei's single tent. When the time came, Little John could stay inside.
After a day of preparation, Xia Ruofei decided to go out to sea early the next morning.
He let Puyol and the survivors have a good rest tonight. As usual, he went back to the formation to rest.
The next day, at the first glimmer of dawn, Xia Ruofei left the Bounded Formation and came to the beach.
Puyol and the others were so excited that they almost didn't sleep all night. They looked around the entrance of the cave early in the morning.
After seeing Xia Ruofei's figure, they hurriedly walked out.
Everything that they needed to bring was taken onto the raft yesterday. Puyol carried Little John and the other three survivors followed closely behind. They almost ran all the way to the beach.
Puyol and the others came in front of Xia Ruofei. Their eyes were full of expectation.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Are you all ready? Then let's go! "
"Yes!" Puyol said with a trembling voice.
He handed Little John to the skinniest survivor, David, and then walked to the back of the raft with the other two survivors.
Yesterday, they had cut some fist-sized branches in advance and laid them under the raft. They laid them all the way to the beach.
Puyol and the other two survivors used all their strength to push, and the raft began to move forward.
This was their hope to return to civilized society! Puyol and the other two felt that their bodies were full of energy. Because of the wooden sticks below to reduce friction, the raft's speed became faster and faster. In the end, it directly rushed into the sea.
Puyol and the others followed behind. They hurriedly stepped on the water and jumped onto the raft. They used the suggested oars to stick into the sand and tried to fix the raft as much as possible.
According to their observations these days, this time was almost the time when the tide was low. If they didn't fix the raft, it would quickly float out.
They chose to go out to sea at this time to save some energy.
If it was high tide, they might desperately row, and the raft would still be circling around the island!
David hurriedly ran over and handed Little John to Puyol. He then climbed onto the raft with some difficulty.
Xia Ruofei, on the other hand, lightly tapped his feet and landed on the raft five or six meters away. Puyol and the others were full of admiration for Xia Ruofei after he inadvertently showed off his skills.
Xia Ruofei came to the edge of the simple deck and sat down. He said, "Let's go!"
Puyol's voice was trembling. "Let's go! Let's go! "
He and another survivor pushed the oars hard, and the raft began to slide out to sea.
The survivors' feelings were both excited and complicated. They looked at the deserted island behind them and thought to themselves that as long as they could return to civilized society, they would never go out to sea again, especially to this damned place. They would never come back a second time even if they were beaten to death.
Xia Ruofei had a faint smile on his face. Looking at the Emerald Fairy Island, he said to himself, "I will come back again! By then, I should have completely refined the mansion-guarding wooden sign … "
Puyol led the survivors to paddle hard. The raft gradually moved away from the Emerald Fairy Island with the help of the ebbing tide.
The island was getting smaller and smaller in everyone's vision. The survivors paddled hard. At this time, someone inadvertently looked back and suddenly exclaimed, "Everyone, look! The island … the island … is gone!! "
"Don't be kidding. We've only paddled for a short distance. How could it be gone … Ah! It's really gone … "Puyol shouted.
They looked back and could no longer see the deserted island where they had lived for many years. Today, the sea view was very good. They could see very far at a glance. How could the deserted island disappear? They had paddled for more than 1,000 meters at most!
Xia Ruofei's face was calm, but in fact, he was very shocked.
Puyol and the others did not see it, but he had been paying attention to the situation on the island. He was sitting on the edge of the simple deck with his back facing the direction of the raft, so he could see the situation on the Green Touring Immortal Island behind him.
Just now, Xia Ruofei clearly felt that there seemed to be a slight distortion in the space where the Green Touring Immortal Island was located. Then, the whole island disappeared from sight.
Xia Ruofei had a feeling in his heart. He thought to himself, "Maybe it's the opposite. The space where we are is distorted in an instant, and that's why we saw such a magical scene …"
In any case, one thing seemed to be clear. They were now out of the range of the Emerald Fairy Island.
Xia Ruofei could still vaguely feel the location of the Emerald Fairy Island because of the treasure-guarding wooden token in his body. He just felt that the island had become very, very far away from him.
But no matter what, he could still rely on the sensing of the treasure-guarding wooden token to find the Emerald Fairy Island.
At this time, Puyol said carefully, "Sir Immortal, can you check … if the positioning device you brought has returned to normal?"
Xia Ruofei came back to his senses and nodded. "Okay! You guys keep paddling forward … "
"Okay, okay …" Puyol said quickly.
Xia Ruofei took out the GPS locator. Sure enough, after a short while, the GPS successfully found the satellite.
Xia Ruofei glanced at the location and could not help but exclaim, "Damn …"
Puyol quickly stopped paddling and ran over to ask carefully, "Sir Immortal, what's wrong?"
Xia Ruofei looked at Puyol and asked with a smile, "I remember you said that you were shipwrecked in the Atlantic Ocean, right?"
"Yes, the cruise ship's route was in the Atlantic Ocean," Puyol said.
"Puyol, guess where we are now?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.
"Are we … not in the Atlantic Ocean?" Puyol asked.
"See for yourself!" Xia Ruofei turned the screen of the GPS to Puyol.
After glancing at it, Puyol could not help but rub his eyes. He looked again and then exclaimed, "Impossible! How … how is this possible? We are in the Indian Ocean now … and not far from Australia … Sir Immortal, this … this device is not broken, is it? "
"The device must be working!" Xia Ruofei said.
"That's impossible! We were in the Atlantic Ocean. Although we drifted for a while on the lifeboat, how far could we have drifted? This place is almost half a world away from where we were! "Puyol's face was full of disbelief.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Puyol, don't look at this with a fixed way of thinking. Have you ever seen an island that just disappeared? Have you ever seen a python that big? Also, have you ever seen someone as strong as me before? "
Every time Xia Ruofei asked a question, Puyol shook his head.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Isn't that right? There are many things that cannot be explained by science! "
Puyol was relieved. He said with a smile, "You are right. As long as we can return to civilization, it doesn't matter if it is the Indian Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean!"
"Haha!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "We are lucky. We are not far from several commonly used routes. Maybe a ship will pass by …"
"I hope so! Now that the island has disappeared, we can't go back even if we want to. If we can't find help, we will starve to death or die of thirst here … "Puyol said.
"Don't worry! With me here, you won't die … "Xia Ruofei said," Well, let's row harder! "
After Xia Ruofei saw where they were now, he wanted to try not to use the satellite phone to call for help. Maybe they would encounter a passing cargo ship. After all, this place was not far from the traditional route.
He mainly considered that using the satellite phone or the Internet would leave traces.
After all, after he found help for Puyol and the others, he would have to leave directly before the rescue ship arrived. If he left traces, it was likely that someone would trace it back, and then there would be endless trouble.
When Xia Ruofei found people on the Azure Immortal Island, he had changed his appearance.
Every time Xia Ruofei asked a question, Puyol shook his head.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Isn't that right? There are many things that can't be explained by science! "
Puyol was relieved. He said with a smile, "You are right. As long as we can return to civilization, it doesn't matter if it is the Indian Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean!"
"Haha!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "We are lucky. We are not far from several commonly used routes. Maybe a ship will pass by …"
"I hope so! Now that the island has disappeared, we can't go back even if we want to. If we can't find help, we will starve to death or die of thirst here … "Puyol said.
"Don't worry! With me here, you won't die … "Xia Ruofei said," Well, let's row harder! "
