Ning Shu opened her eyes wide: “Lu Zhe, you are quite ruthless! Did you add devil chili peppers?”
“Yes!”
Lu Zhe nodded: “But my purpose in doing this was to make it afraid of the food we have touched, so that it won't casually take our things again! Compared to direct confrontation, this is a more humane method.”
"Hmm, strangely pleasant! You are too kind!"
The monkey was burned by the spicy chili peppers. Finally, it couldn't stand it anymore and fell off the tree!
At this moment, it seemed to no longer care about life and death, it just wanted Lu Zhe to end its suffering.
"It looks very painful! Is it really okay for us to do this?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Well, this is also to save it! Do you know? Many people from animal protection associations who rescue wild animals will beat and roughly chase away the wild animals afterwards! The purpose is to make them not believe in humans, so that they can avoid hunters and survive better."
"So it should thank you!"
"It doesn't need to thank me, because I have another thing to ask it!"
"Ask it to do what?"
"Can it help us get those crocodile eggs?!"
"You want to take crocodile eggs?"
"They sell online for 30 yuan each. I estimate that nest would be worth over a thousand yuan."
Speaking, Lu Zhe tied up the screaming monkey.
Then he brought it near the crocodile that was guarding its nest.
The crocodile was still lying next to its nest, guarding the eggs.
Lu Zhe tied the monkey to a tree, then ran away!
The screams of the monkey were sharp and piercing. The noise irritated the crocodile. It crawled over to take a look and saw a screaming monkey.
Usually it couldn't catch something like this. But today it just appeared right in front of it!
How could it let this chance go?
At that moment, the crocodile's eyes lit up. It felt like God had ordered it takeout.
Then, it happily crawled towards the monkey!
And at that moment, Lu Zhe and Ning Shu took a small basket and rushed over quickly. In a flash, they put all thirty-plus crocodile eggs in the basket.
Then they nodded at each other and ran away!
A few minutes later, the monkey's cries stopped. After the crocodile was full, it lazily crawled back to its nest, only to find that the nest was completely empty.
The children were gone.
Looking around, there was no trace left behind.
In an instant, it seemed to understand something.
Beneath its calm expression, anger was brewing. Then it walked in the direction of the monkey’s territory.
Lu Zhe, on the other hand, had picked a whole basket of crocodile eggs. They were a little bigger than chicken eggs, with rough shells, thirty-six in total. His survival skill point increased by 1!
It was quite a good harvest!
He picked one up happily and said, "What do you call this? Repair the plank road quietly while planning to cross the Chen River by stealth! Having some military strategy is very useful in the survival process!"
Ning Shu nodded: "Wasting a monkey every time! Won't these eggs go bad?"
"Well, if left outside casually, they would either rot or hatch in a few days. We have to eat them quickly!"
Lu Zhe took the eggs back to the camp.
"Let's boil some, fry others in oil, and pickle ones we can’t finish eating!"
"Can crocodile eggs be pickled?"
"I've never heard of anyone pickling them before!"
"We can be the first. Later when we get noddy eggs or jungle fowl eggs we can pickle them too!"
Soon, the boiled eggs were ready.
Peeling one, there was relatively little egg white and the egg yolk was slightly smaller than a chicken egg, whitish in color.
Eating it, it was a bit dry and stuffy, but the texture was really like a chicken egg.
The fried crocodile eggs with lemon grass also had a very unique aroma. Eating them was not much different than eating fried chicken eggs!
Being able to eat fried eggs on a deserted island was not easy at all.
Even Qian Qian ate one without throwing up!
In the afternoon, Lu Zhe started making the bamboo raft again.
The main structure of the bamboo was finished, and a lot of banana bark rope was collected.
Next, Lu Zhe wanted to increase the buoyancy of the raft, so that it could maintain sufficient buoyancy even when loaded with cargo.
The first thing he thought of was bottles.
But after all there were only two or three hundred bottles. Deducting the ones used to store fresh water, there were scarcely any left.
He had to think of another way!
August 17th, the 69th day stranded on the deserted island. Lu Zhe spent the day at camp with Qian Qian weaving bamboo sails!
August 18th, the 70th day stranded on the deserted island. Lu Zhe killed the second sheep, continued improving the bamboo raft, and made ten oars!
In addition to one for each person, there were four spare oars!
August 19th, the 71st day stranded on the deserted island. Lu Zhe built a removable sunshade and a small bamboo canopy of about four square meters!
It would allow everyone to row under the shade and reduce physical exertion.
For the canopy, Lu Zhe used bottle air conditioning!
The specific method was to install bottles with the bottoms cut off on one wall of the canopy, with the cut side facing out and the bottle openings facing in!
If wind blew in, it would be compressed and accelerate airflow, lowering the temperature inside the canopy.
Sprinkling some water on the ground would make the cooling effect even better!
At this point, the roughly 7-meter long, 3-meter wide raft with masts, sails, and canopy was basically finished.
Was it ready to launch?
Not yet!
Lu Zhe decided to test it in water somewhere first!
Only after confirming there was no danger could they set sail!
Ning Shu's phone album contained a lot of photos of the deserted island.
Lu Zhe quickly flipped to the aerial view photo of the island, taken when he and Tang Xiaoguo and Ning Shu climbed to the top of the mountain.
It proved very useful at this time!
Lu Zhe carefully searched the beach photos and soon found a few scattered small islands one or two miles offshore of Crescent Moon Bay.
"I think we should test sail first. The goal is those few small islands over there. We can explore them and confirm the safety and reliability of the bamboo raft! Only if the raft performs well can we truly set sail!"
Shen Bing nodded: "I agree with Lu Zhe's plan, but Lu Zhe, you're not going alone right!"
"Of course not. My suggestion is to split into two groups, one group stays at camp, one group sets sail tomorrow to test the reliability of the bamboo raft!"
Ning Shu said, "Then the question is, who stays at camp and who goes with Lu Zhe?"
Jiang Yao said, "First of all, it's best if Qian Qian doesn't go. She should recuperate at camp!"
Shen Bing thought for a moment: "This time I can accompany Qian Qian. Next time when you go to the plane, I'll go with you guys!"
Tang Xiaoguo said, "It’s Sunday tomorrow anyway. Why don't the four of us go together!"
Lu Zhe thought about it. The camp had the necessary defenses and sufficient supplies. Plus Shen Bing who had some survival experience and the relatively reliable Qian Qian. Even without him, there shouldn't be any major issues at camp!
The three girls Ning Shu, Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo were already bored to death and couldn’t wait to find something new!
Lu Zhe nodded, "Okay then, let’s rest early today. Tomorrow morning let’s set off with food supplies. Our destination is the island group to the southeast!"

But later, his ex came crawling back in tears: "Yi, I was wrong. Please take me back." His childhood sweetheart became hopelessly devoted: "Yi, just one more glance from you is all I ask." The aloof campus belle blushed as she handed him a love letter: "Zhou Yi, I was blind before. Will you accept my feelings?" To all of them, Zhou Yi just smiled. "Sorry, too late. I’m done with love." Oh, and he also gained a system—every time he earned a woman’s affection, his looks improved and his bank account grew. Soon, he became the nation’s most eligible bachelor, with socialites and heiresses begging for his attention...
