"It's..."
Lu Zhe opened it directly!
"It really is the smell of ink!"
"Do I really need to explain this?!" Jiang Yao's little face turned red from embarrassment!
Lu Zhe placed the sanitary pad on the edge at the back of this small raft!
"In a bit, I will push this fake boat away from the island in the opposite direction. The wind direction now is southwest, which will blow the fake boat away from the island!
The smell of blood will attract sharks to chase it. We will take this chance to swim across from the opposite direction!"
Ning Shu nodded: "That's a way to do it!"
Tang Xiaoguo anxiously said: "But I can't swim!"
Lin Qianqian also shook her head: "Me...me too!"
With red face and clamped legs, Jiang Yao said: "I can swim, but getting into the water might attract sharks..."
Among the four girls, three couldn't swim!
But that's not a problem!
With one hand holding a bottle and the other holding the anchor rope, Lu Zhe said: "Let's separate the rope and tie the remaining empty bottles together and tie them to our arms to use as life jackets. This way we won't sink! All we need to do is try our best to paddle forward!"
Ning Shu asked: "What about Yao Yao?"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment: "That's easy to solve too!"
He bundled the remaining wood together and said: "Although the remaining wood is not enough to bear all our weight, it should be able to support just Yao Yao!"
Lin Qianqian thought for a moment and realized: "That's right, as long as Yao Yao lies on it with a sanitary pad as cushion, blood won't flow out!"
"That's right!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "There's another thing!"
Lu Zhe used the last piece of wood to make five strips of cloth, and soaked the cloth strips in blowfish toxin: "Everyone tie these cloth strips to your feet!"
The girls did as told!
"Ew, gross..."
"Smells ten times worse than poop!"
"Think about it, it's something that can save your life, just bear with it."
The girls all nodded!
Lu Zhe tied up the bottles to make life jackets and put them on the girls' arms!
"Alright, Yao Yao, lie on the bundled wood. All our clothes and important supplies will be handed to you!"
Jiang Yao nodded!
"Qianqian, put on your socks! Sharks are still quite afraid of orange and black things."
Lin Qianqian nodded: "OK!"
"That's right!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "There's one last thing!"
With one push from Lu Zhe, the makeshift raft carrying Jiang Yao slid forward over ten meters towards the volcanic island!
The other three girls also went into the sea with him!
Tang Xiaoguo and Lin Qianqian, the two who couldn't swim, were in front, while Lu Zhe and Ning Shu paddled at the back. Although Jiang Yao lay on the raft, she was also paddling hard!
The five of them slowly swam towards the beach!
Just as they were approaching shallow waters, a shark noticed them as expected!
A shark swam towards them. Lu Zhe was prepared, he turned around and handed the fish spear tied to a battery backwards!
The shark shuddered all over and fled with its tail between its legs!
"It works!"
"We can barely handle one, but more would be hard to deal with! Hurry!"
Then another one charged over!
Lu Zhe did a backhand stab with the spear!
However, he stabbed with some force this time. The spear pierced the shark's skin and got stuck. With a flick of its tail, the injured shark swam away towards the distance!
However, at this moment, something terrible happened!
The wounded shark left a trail of blood in the ocean. Other sharks caught the scent of blood and rushed towards it relentlessly regardless of anything!
Mercilessly, they bit into their companion, instantly tearing it into pieces!
Tang Xiaoguo was scared stiff, when she heard Lu Zhe say: "We've reached shallow waters!"
He bit onto the fish spear and kicked the seafloor to propel the makeshift raft forward over ten meters with the girls on it!
Looking back, a shark charged towards him!
In a split second, Lu Zhe dodged and stabbed the shark's eye with the spear!
Hurt, the shark thrashed violently in the water, attracting more sharks!
Lu Zhe dived underwater and disappeared without a trace!
The girls were scared witless!
"Lu Zhe, come back!"
"I'm going to rescue Lu Zhe..."
"Lu Zhe, Lu Zhe, I want to save you too..."
The next moment, Lu Zhe emerged from the water before them!
"Save me with what? Hurry..."
By now, the water wasn't very deep. Pushing Jiang Yao along, the four of them ran into shallow waters!
Jiang Yao also got off and didn't bother about the raft anymore. Grabbing the package, she ran with the rest, and whoever stumbled was pulled up by the others!
Finally, stumbling all the way, the gang made it onto the beach. At that moment, the four girls were completely exhausted without an ounce of strength left, lying prone on the beach and gasping for air!
By now, the waters were dyed completely red by the shark's blood!
"Are we...dead?"
"No...we're...we survived!"
"Is everyone here?"
"Say something...if you're not..."
"All here..."
"Thank goodness..."
The girls closed their eyes, seemingly lacking even the strength to blink!
It was exhilarating to have escaped death, making one want to break down in tears!
Lu Zhe heaved a sigh of relief!
He wanted to get up, only to find now that his strength was nearly spent too!
The tremendous strength and stamina he had to expend to escape had used up all his potential points from before!
And now, bringing four girls safely onto the volcanic island gave him four more potential points!
This time, he added all of them to stamina!
Instantly, his body recovered a bit more!
He stood up looking at the four girls lying prone, breathing heavily in exhaustion. Finally he felt some relief!
"The tide will rise and submerge this area later!"
"Huh?"
"Rest for a bit before we move to the woods over there!"
"I...can't walk anymore!"
"Forget walking, I'm afraid I can't even crawl anymore!"
Lu Zhe had no choice but to bring the supplies over first!
After resting for about ten minutes, the rising tide licked their toes. Lu Zhe pulled them up to stumble to the edge of the woods to sit down!
Far from the tide line, it should be quite safe here!
Luckily there were quite a lot of coconuts here. Lu Zhe picked over ten, chopped them open with a stone axe and distributed them.
Only after drinking three coconuts each did they barely quench their thirst!
He also tore out some coconut meat for everyone to stuff into their mouths and chomp down.
After resting like this for half an hour, everyone finally regained some composure and energy!
Jiang Yao sighed: "We really escaped death..."
Tang Xiaoguo complained: "This place shouldn't be called Volcanic Island, it should be called Annoying Shark Island!"
Ning Shu looked left and right: "Huh? Where's the flight attendant?"
Lin Qianqian said: "We veered off course before landing on the island. She should be on the other side of the island!"
Jiang Yao said: "We're not going over now right? I really can't walk at all!"
Tang Xiaoguo weakly said: "Me neither!"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "Everyone used up too much strength and stamina and needs time to recover!"
He looked at his watch. It was half past four already: "Let's spend the night here today and rest well to build up energy. Tomorrow we'll explore this small island together!"
