Chapter 108 Tragic Old Zhang
The next morning, Su Jin got up very early.
With 25 days to go before the cold wave arrives, they have already made considerable preparations.
Not only have they embarked on the path into the era of firearms, but they have also stockpiled a considerable amount of supplies.
He gathered everyone together and announced loudly, "Today's work is divided into two parts: one is to process yesterday's harvest, and the other is to continue cutting firewood, as timber will always be the most scarce resource for our future sea voyages."
As he spoke, he turned to Shen Ruying and Li Yuanyuan and said, "This task will be left to you two, Ruying and Yuanyuan, so you will stay on Forest Island today."
"What about me?" Shen Qiaoqiao suddenly asked, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes, clearly not wanting to be separated from her mother.
"Of course you're on the ship, my master craftsman," Su Jin said matter-of-factly. "We're going to the archipelago to collect supplies, and we might need quite a few tools. I'll trouble you to make them on the spot."
He had learned his lesson on Sweet Dew Island before. Cutting down the steel log and letting it roll down the mountain was easy, but carrying it onto the ship took a tremendous amount of effort and almost killed him.
If Shen Qiaoqiao were here, she could use human ingenuity to create a simple hoisting device, which would save a lot of effort and time by utilizing the principle of gears to save energy.
Moreover, today we're going to shovel bird droppings, so the baskets and shovels will need to be made according to our needs, and there might be other requirements as well.
It would be a waste of a master craftsman's talents to leave him here to chop firewood; he would be most useful if he were on the ship.
After hearing this, the little girl could only nod in agreement, but she still looked at her mother with some reluctance.
In modern society, she would actually love to leave Shen Ruying and go out to have fun, because that would be a safe and dangerous trip.
But now, she still prefers to stay with her mother.
In the end, only Lin Xuan's arrangements remained unmentioned, but she consciously refrained from asking, because barring any unforeseen circumstances, she was to go to the archipelago with them.
She had already figured out Su Jin's personality a bit. He was kind of chivalrous and would only pity women, but as long as they were laborers, he wouldn't even spare young girls.
Needless to say, she'd definitely be called over to analyze bird droppings, try to extract them, and then act as a droppings shoveler; she could guess that with her own eyes.
Seeing that she was self-aware, Su Jin didn't bother to say anything and directly let Shen Ruying and Li Yuanyuan off the ship, and instructed them: "Although the clam demons on the island have been mostly cleared out, you still need to be careful and try not to go near the forest. Just cut down trees on the outskirts."
Who knows if there are one or two little clam spirits that hatched late and then stayed in the forest refusing to come out? If they suddenly unleash a stream of high-temperature heat, that would be bad.
After giving his instructions, Su Jin wasted no time and set sail towards the archipelago.
Lin Xuan and Shen Qiaoqiao weren't really in the mood to enjoy the sea view. One of them went to the laboratory to continue working, as she had a lot of work to do.
Analyze the gallbladder, study the explosive pack, record the freshwater conditions, and then there's the formula for improving the potion, trying to eliminate side effects as much as possible.
Thinking back to that crazy hour yesterday, her face flushed red, and she felt a lingering fear.
If this happens again, the consequences won't be as simple as just being bitten; they might be so tormented that they can't get out of bed for two days.
Shen Qiaoqiao, on the other hand, went back to her workroom to catch up on some sleep, since she didn't have anything to do at the moment.
She discovered that she had been sleeping more and more ever since she upgraded her talent, because Su Jin was assigning her more and more work.
This resulted in her never having enough energy. Every day she was either expending energy or preparing to expend energy, forcing her to sleep a lot to replenish it.
Su Jin knew this, so he acquiesced. In any case, even if they took the safe route and didn't activate the Golden Dash skill, the journey would still take two hours.
Compared to his leisurely voyage on this side of the sea, things on the islands seemed quite dire.
Old Zhang has been lying on the roof beam for two days and two nights without sleep, and his hands and feet are sore and aching, but he dares not let go.
Below him lay a pile of corpses of turtle-shaped sea monster cubs, all killed by him using territorial rules.
Some of the animals that had died early had already begun to rot and stink without being treated, filling his small hut with a stench that made him want to vomit.
In fact, he had vomited many times, and had vomited up all the bile and jaundice, so there was nothing left to vomit.
He has survived these past two days only because the roof of his hut is flimsy and leaks into the house. He relies on the rainwater dripping from that crack to barely keep his throat from drying out, and he drinks some water to deceive his brain and make himself feel less pain.
At this moment, the door of his cabin had been smashed by the baby sea turtles and collapsed on the ground; there was nothing left to stop the monsters.
Moreover, his cabin contained a large number of dead baby sea turtles, whose corpses were considered food by the sea creatures.
Some silly cubs, blocked by the wooden house, don't know how to go around it, they just keep banging their heads against the wooden wall, and it's not just one doing this, it's a whole group doing it.
[WARNING! Your territory is under attack. Durability is at 15. Once durability reaches 0, the territory will lose its protective effect.]
Seeing this message, Old Zhang was really exasperated and couldn't help but curse out, "What a bunch of bastards! Why can't they just go around me instead of hitting me?"
He was frustrated. He could kill those sea monster cubs instantly if they came in, but they were too stupid to get in.
I don't know whether to call them smart or stupid. In fact, they've managed to eat this big fat guy now.
His little cabin probably only lasts another hour or two, and then he'll probably have to play a race with these sea turtles.
"Why isn't the big boss coming yet?!"
Old Zhang was almost frantic, peering through the cracks in the wooden wall towards the sea.
If Su Jin were here, his chances of survival would be much greater. Once he digests the corpses of these sea beasts, he would become much stronger.
If he can get through this, his future will be bright!
He glanced at the sea again, and this time he finally saw the silhouette of a ship.
Needless to say, it must be Su Jin's ship!
Finally waited!
Old Zhang was overjoyed and then prepared to find a way to ask for help.
If they wanted to call for help, they had to get Su Jin's attention.
His solution was simple: raise the white flag, as that would attract the most attention.
After all, this is also how people surrender on the battlefield.
As for where to get the white flag, Old Zhang glanced at his fishing rod next to him, gritted his teeth, took off his four-cornered white underwear, and tied it to the fishing rod.
All I can say is that this time he really looked no different from a veteran of the battlefield. Luckily, he was wearing white underwear, otherwise the effect wouldn't have been good.
He stretched the homemade white flag out the doorway and waved it vigorously.
"Boss, help me—"
