i have a super island

Chapter 549 Continuous Rain

A heavy rain finally fell on the calm sea for a long time.

In the camp, everyone stayed in the house to shelter from the rain, and the sparse rain made the ground of the camp muddy.

Fang Fang sat in the house, staring at the puddle outside in a daze.

This was the first time it rained after he came to this island, and it had been a long time since he had come to think of it.

Rain is a good thing, it can bring fresh water to the island and bring new vitality.

However, for Equation, rain has both joys and sorrows. Blake and his party sent to the northern island yesterday must not be able to come back for a while because of the rain.

At present, the sailing level they have mastered is limited to sailing in normal weather, but when there is rainy, strong wind, and big waves, there is no way for small wooden boats to cross the sea.

Beside Fang Fang, Song Zhixi was sitting.

She looked a little more relaxed.It is true, after following the equation to the island, I have been in a state of nervous tension, either busy with the camp, or worried about the barbarians who may attack at any time. Few people can sit in the house and rest with peace of mind like today Opportunity.

Because of the rain, the temperature is very cool, which is a rare comfortable weather on this hot and humid island.

"Are you worried about Blake and the others?"

Song Zhixi came behind Fang Fang and held his shoulders for him.

When pinching, I felt that Fang Fang's shoulders were tight, and I knew he must be preoccupied.

Fang Fang shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm not worried about Blake and the others. They're with Qingman, so there's nothing to worry about."

"What are you worried about?"

"This rain came at the wrong time. It would have been better if it came a few days later."

"Why?" Song Zhixi raised his eyebrows lightly, not quite understanding the meaning of the words of the equation.

The equation explained: "The heavy rain affects not only us, but also the savages, whose ships cannot go to sea in this weather."

Song Zhixi said: "Isn't it good, at least now you don't have to worry about them calling."

"They were repelled by us just now. Even if there was no heavy rain these days, they would not be able to counterattack immediately." Fang Fang patiently explained to Song Zhixi, "If this rain can be pushed back, it will be possible. Buy us more time. When the trench is dug, it will be useless for them to attack with more people."

With a smile in his eyes, Song Zhixi said: "Don't think too much, maybe this rain will still fall."

"I hope, that would be the best."

Fang raised his head and looked at the gray sky outside.

The rain brought cool weather, and the time passed quickly hiding inside the house.

In the afternoon, the prisoners arrived outside the camp under the personal supervision of Equation, and continued to dig trenches.

In the morning, Equation allowed these guys to rest, and at noon they also gave them enough food, which was enough for them to eat, drink, and rest.

Once they arrived at the construction site, the treatment of these guys was not as good as before.

Compared with Blake, Equation is not so cruel, and they will not beat them with rattan whips, but anyone who wants to be lazy is absolutely not allowed.

Braving the heavy rain, several captives jumped into the trench and kept digging, widening and deepening the trench.

The biggest problem in rainy days is that the trenches are full of water, and the water and soil are mixed together. When you step down, your ankles are all stuck in the mud, and it is very uncomfortable to work.

However, compared with these little troubles before them, the captives were more afraid of being executed, so no one dared to be lazy and play tricks.

Even if it was a rainy day, everyone in the camp was not idle.

In addition to supervising the work of the prisoners outside the camp, Lu Fengmei was not idle in the camp.

Currently limited by the rainy weather, the construction progress of the brick kiln can only be suspended, but Lu Fengmei thought of a way, which is to pull the outside soil back into her room, and then use wood chips to make a cuboid mold, which is inside the house Pound bricks.

First, mix the slime to a similar viscosity, and then fill it into the mold.After filling, take the mold and buckle it to the ground, and a cuboid brick is done.

There is no problem with the appearance, it is indeed a brick, and now the difference is that it is fired in a brick kiln.

Only after firing can we know whether it is a qualified brick or not.

Anyway, she has nothing to do, so Lu Fengmei is making bricks in the house for fun.

Similar to Lu Fengmei, Shizi Asai was also concentrating on doing her own thing.

The first fibers from sisal have been extracted, and what she is doing now is twisting the fibers into twine in tufts.

Hemp rope is an urgently needed material in the camp. With hemp rope, the straw rope on the bow and arrow can be replaced, so that the power of the bow and arrow can be further improved.

Even if the range of the bow and arrow can be increased by one meter in battle, it can suppress the opponent's advantage.

So what Ishiko Asai is doing now is very important, and she knows this very well.

Time passed one after another, one day, two days, three days...

This rain was a bit surprising, usually the sea area is full of showers.

The clouds and rain came and went quickly, and then it was over after a while, but this time it had been raining for three consecutive days, and there was no intention of stopping.

Affected by the continuous rainfall, the water volume of the small river on the island surged and overflowed the banks on both sides.

Many crocodiles crawled out along the river bank, and outside the camp, several large alligators that ran into the territory appeared one after another.

As a result, without exception, as long as the crocodile appeared in the field of vision, it could not escape the fate of becoming food.

With the crocodile meat delivered to the door, the food for these few days is also guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about being affected by the rainy weather.

The trench has been dug all the time, and the trench to the east of the camp has basically taken shape. At a distance of 20 meters from the camp wall, a horizontal ditch about 30 meters long appeared on the ground.

The width of the horizontal trench is more than three meters. The reason why it is so wide is also the meaning of the equation. For ordinary people, the width of two meters can be easily skipped, but it is not easy to jump over the width of three meters.

According to the plan, the depth of the trench should be about three meters, so that those who fall into the trench will not be able to climb out easily.

However, due to the limited manpower, the trench has only been dug to a depth of less than one and a half meters.

This is already the result of holding those captives around day and night and mishandling them. But one person only has two hands. After all, there are still too few people.

This time, the equation has learned the previous lesson, no longer holding them to death like last time, let them rest when it's time to rest, so as not to die suddenly again.
