On top of Chen Mo's spear, there was a huge fish that was almost a meter long.
Previously, it was completely blocked by Chen Mo's tall body. It was only now that Chen Mo put it in front of him that everyone saw it.
Since he didn't plan to continue hiding, Chen Mo didn't need to hide anymore. The "airdrop" could also be declared over. Considering that everyone hadn't had a good meal for a long time, Chen Mo simply went into the sea to catch a big fish to improve their lives. It was a meeting gift.
With his physical fitness, he could stay underwater for more than ten minutes without any pressure. Moreover, his swimming speed in the sea was not much slower than the average fish.
Chen Mo roamed the bottom of the sea, enjoying the scenery while looking for prey that was big enough. Most of his time was spent wandering.
This fish was more than a meter long and weighed more than 20 kilograms. It was enough for everyone to have a full meal.
Half an hour later, the fish was cut into pieces and skewered on a wooden stick. It was then placed over the fire.
Under the roasting of the fire, the surface of the fish emitted a slight crackling sound from time to time. As the fish was continuously turned, it gradually became golden and attractive. Between the gaps of the fish, steam was constantly sizzling, and a strong fragrance wafted out.
The two little girls squatted next to the fire and stared at the fish without blinking. Smelling the fragrance wafting out, they swallowed their saliva from time to time.
That afternoon, the survivors who hadn't had a full meal since the plane crash finally felt the long-awaited feeling of being full again. It was followed by a strong sense of happiness and satisfaction.
In this difficult environment, to be able to eat a full meal really made people feel very happy. To Chen Mo, who brought them all this, the gratitude in everyone's heart was needless to say.
However, Chen Mo didn't eat with them. Although the alloy armor combat suit he was wearing was exquisitely designed and comfortable to wear, it couldn't be worn directly to eat. He also couldn't show his face in front of everyone. He could only wait until he returned to his own camp to eat.
However, while everyone was busy roasting fish and eating, Chen Mo didn't stay idle either. After throwing the fish to them, he went into the forest alone.
After leaving everyone's line of sight, Chen Mo arrived in front of a dense forest. He took out the King's Sword from the Space and prepared to start the Logging Mode.
However, just as he took out the sword and held it in his hand, Chen Mo paused for a moment and then put the sword back. The King's Sword could cut through iron like it was mud, and chopping down trees was incomparably easy. However, Chen Mo didn't feel that using it to chop down trees was a waste of its power. He was just being cautious.
After all, he didn't know whether or not reinforcements would come. It was best to leave as few openings as possible on this island. The cut made by the King's Sword was incomparably smooth, clearly different from that of ordinary swords and sabers. It was easy to arouse suspicion and increase trouble.
Moreover, even without the King's Sword, Chen Mo could easily break these small trees.
Putting away the King's Sword, Chen Mo chose a tree that was as thick as an arm and had a straight trunk. He walked in front of it and stretched out his left hand to grab the trunk. His right hand straightened like a knife and directly chopped towards the bottom of the trunk.
He didn't even have to use much of his strength before the tree trunk was easily cut off by his armored right hand. Then, Chen Mo put down the tree and broke off the excess branches, leaving only a straight trunk.
This may take a lot of effort for others, but Chen Mo did it easily and casually. One tree after another was cut down by Chen Mo's palm, and then he worked on both sides of the tree, and soon all the branches were broken. When Chen Mo felt that it was about time to stop, there was already a pile of slender and straight trunks next to him.
After chopping the wood, Chen Mo didn't rush back to the survivor's camp. Instead, he returned to his tent first.
From the dimension, he took out the barbecued meat and fruits brought from the Legend of the Night world. After leisurely enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Chen Mo laid on the large and comfortable air mattress to rest for a while before getting up and returning to the survivor's camp.
A group of survivors had just finished eating the seafood feast. At this time, they were standing or sitting around the fire with a satisfied look on their faces.
Seeing Chen Mo come back, everyone quickly got up and looked at Chen Mo enthusiastically.
Seeing that everyone was full, Chen Mo nodded slightly and didn't talk nonsense.
"Follow me."
Taking everyone except the old man, Chen Mo once again returned to the place where he "cut" the trees.
Looking at a large pile of straight and slender trunks neatly placed in front of them, everyone looked at each other and didn't know what Chen Mo meant.
"Carry all these trunks back to the camp."
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Chen Mo slowly said.
"In the afternoon, we will build the house."
… …
Full of curiosity and expectation, everyone began to carry the wood.
The tree trunks that were three to four meters long and as thick as an arm were actually not that heavy. Zhang Xin and Xu Qing, the two little girls, could carry two at a time with a little effort. Captain Zhao Jianmin, who had basically recovered, could carry two to three trunks by himself.
Everyone didn't slack off at all. They carried the trunks back and forth without stopping. It was a busy scene in full swing.
It wasn't easy for the two little girls to be able to help, so they worked very hard. They didn't want to be parasites. Their elder sister and uncle didn't know them, but they helped them a lot. They also wanted to help as much as possible.
So even though they were tired and couldn't move anymore, the two gritted their teeth and struggled to carry two trunks back to the camp. They didn't want to put down one to relax.
Everyone else was also tired, but no one complained or slacked off, even if they were out of his sight.
Since they were stranded on the deserted island, Chen Mo "saw" everyone's performance. He knew that he didn't help the wrong people, and he was glad that he didn't stand by and watch because of too many concerns.
At the very least, they were all people who were worthy of his help. Even if their abilities were limited, each of them would do their best to help others. They would give their limited food to those who needed it more. At the same time, they would try their best to do the things that they were responsible for.
They could live safely until the end because of Chen Mo's interference and his rules of "screening" and "elimination". If it weren't for him, these "honest people" would definitely not have a good ending. To be precise, they would be very miserable.
After this incident, Chen Mo felt that justice needed to be upheld.
How many good people didn't have a good ending, and how many evil people caused disaster?
He was willing to see more people like them live peacefully, and he hoped that all the evil people would get the punishment they deserved.
Justice needed to be upheld, and evil needed to be punished. Chen Mo believed that he could do much more than that. Everything would start from this island!
Time passed little by little. Hundreds of tree trunks were all moved back to the camp under the cooperation of everyone after more than ten trips.
Chen Mo, who returned first, had already chosen a location and marked it. Although it was called building a house, the conditions were limited. In fact, it was just a shelter that could shelter them from the wind and rain. However, compared to their original simple shelter, which couldn't even be considered a shack, Chen Mo planned to build a mansion.
Chen Mo chose an open space on the east side of the camp that was slightly higher. The ground there was flat and dry, and there wasn't much to do.
After choosing a place, Chen Mo didn't start work immediately. Instead, he took out an Eidmann alloy throwing knife from his storage space when no one was paying attention. It was 25 centimeters long, 3 centimeters wide, and 5 millimeters thick. It was easy to use as a dagger.
Taking a tree trunk, Chen Mo sharpened one end of the tree trunk with the throwing knife, then roasted it over the fire and did a simple carbonization treatment.
When the two little girls carried the last two tree trunks back, sweating profusely, Chen Mo had processed enough tree trunks to officially start the construction of the shelter.
Standing at the location that had been marked in advance, Chen Mo held a sharpened tree trunk with both hands, raised it high, and then stabbed it into the ground with force.
"Tsk!"
Under Chen Mo's great strength, the tree trunk was deeply inserted into the ground, nearly half a meter deep.
This scene made everyone a little stunned. How much strength did he have? Although the ground wasn't very hard, it was still terrifying that the tree could be inserted nearly half a meter deep.
In fact, Chen Mo was still holding back. After all, he didn't want to be too shocking. His performance now was only at the level of a top strongman. Although everyone was surprised, it was still acceptable. They didn't think that Chen Mo was inhuman.
Next, Chen Mo was like a human pile driver, deeply inserting the sharpened tree trunks deep into the ground.
Soon, the main pillars of the shelter were set up.
Then, Chen Mo directed the people who had returned to tie the other tree trunks in suitable positions with vines and fixed them together.
Under the guidance of Chen Mo, everyone worked together and cooperated. It didn't take too long to build the framework of the shelter.
Chen Mo didn't choose to build a small and simple triangular or conical shelter. The internal space would be too small. Anyway, it wasn't troublesome for Chen Mo. He didn't know how long he would stay on this island, so he might as well build a bigger shelter.
From the completed framework, it could be seen that this was a spacious wooden house with a length and width of five meters by five meters. The ridge in the middle was 2.5 meters high, and the two sides were 1.8 meters low. It was enough to accommodate ten people without being too crowded.
After the framework was set up, the wooden house was very stable, but it was still in a state of ventilation. However, the big project was completed, and the rest was much simpler.
Under the guidance of Chen Mo, everyone gathered a large number of branches with leaves and tied them neatly on the framework. They tried to cover every gap as much as possible, especially the roof, which was covered with a thick layer of leaves.
The seven of them spent the entire afternoon and finally completed the construction of the shelter before sunset.
Looking at the simple green wooden house, everyone was very happy. The two little girls were so happy that they clapped their hands. Finally, they didn't have to squeeze in the small and simple tent with ventilation.
Although the wooden house was a little simple, it was very spacious. The thick leaves completely blocked the wind outside, so they didn't have to worry about being cold at night.
Standing in front of the beautiful and spacious wooden house, everyone couldn't tell that they were stranded on a deserted island at all. Instead, they looked like they were camping.
On the first day Chen Mo officially joined, their standard of living had been greatly improved.
The days that followed made them feel like they were in a dream.
There was enough food every day, and no one was hungry anymore.
The newly built wooden house was very warm at night. Each of them had a simple bed, so they could finally have a good night's sleep.
Their food wasn't all provided by Chen Mo, and he couldn't go into the sea to fish for them every day. Fortunately, he was prepared.
When he appeared in front of everyone with several fishing rods, everyone looked like they had seen a ghost.
Weren't they in a plane crash? Weren't the wreckage all burned up? How could there be fishing rods? And there were several of them!
And the dagger Chen Mo used before, it was impossible to bring it on the plane. Where did it come from?
Fortunately, Su Wan didn't tell them about the large military tent Chen Mo lived in, the comfortable air mattress, and the various kinds of fruits placed casually. Otherwise, they would be very surprised. Su Wan was also puzzled, but she couldn't ask Chen Mo directly. She had been very conflicted.
In the end, Chen Mo dispelled all their doubts with one sentence.
"My boat sank nearby."
Chen Mo didn't explain much, but everyone helped him fill in the blanks.
He was a powerful assassin. After completing a mission, he wanted to relax, so he took a yacht out to sea for a vacation. The yacht was fully equipped with survival supplies and all kinds of food.
The compressed biscuits, canned food, tents, daggers, and all kinds of fruits that were given to them before all made sense.
After the boat accidentally sank nearby, he took some of the supplies to this island and happened to meet them in the plane crash.
As for the probability of such a coincidence, it wasn't impossible for people who survived the plane crash.
With the fishing rods provided by Chen Mo, the survivors could finally get enough food. Later, with the improvement of everyone's fishing skills, they didn't even need to send all of them. They only needed to send half of them every day to ensure that they got enough food.
No one felt that there was anything wrong with Chen Mo letting them fish under the sun every day when he could easily catch big fish.
After experiencing the previous hardships, they knew how precious other people's help was. No one would take everything for granted, and no one deserved it. They only had deep gratitude for Chen Mo's help.
Compared to before, their current life was countless times better. This was something they didn't even dare to think about before. It wasn't easy to survive.
However, something bad still happened. In fact, everyone had already expected it.
The old man's heart disease was very serious. He needed to take medicine every day to maintain his health. Fortunately, Su Wan carried some medicine with her. But even if she had been frugal, she still finished it in less than a month. After that, she could only endure.
Even if she was very careful, it would still break out from time to time. Her heart was in pain, and she couldn't hold on until the end.
