I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Chapter 4 Preliminary Exploration

He has a lot of things in his hands now. Compared to the protagonist Chuck in the movie, Wen Liang is already lucky!

"I wonder where Chuck is. Is he on an island with me or..."

Oh, forget it. I shook my head and stopped thinking about it. I should just survive first and then wait for an opportunity to find Chuck.

I don’t know how long I have been unconscious. Compared to the darkness on the plane, it is now a new day.

Blind box deliveries will not accumulate. If you don’t open it one day, you will still get the same box the next day... maybe it will be changed, but it won’t become two.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine how many days you have slept through the blind box express. Now there is only one blind box express in the storage space.

"Open the package!"

The blind box disappeared, and instead, a bowl of steaming rice porridge appeared in the storage space.

"Not bad, at least it's a luxury for me now!" Wen Liang smacked his teeth a little, who would have thought that one day "white rice porridge" would become a luxury.

After eating and drinking, Wen Liang put away the stainless steel bowl containing instant noodles. Now all the supplies are useful!

If you want to survive, the most important things are food, drink and shelter. Fire is easy, you have a lighter.

If we save on food, we can probably survive for a few days. Of course, this is only the standard of not starving to death.

So finding food sources is a top priority.

There is also a sanctuary. We don’t know how big this place is, or whether there are any large carnivores here.

Regardless of all this, the climate here reminds Wen Liang that he must ensure he has a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The climate here is warm, and I feel hot even wearing only a single layer of clothes. Based on the deviation route I heard on the plane, I might be somewhere near the tropical South Pacific, or maybe even near the equator.

The climate at sea is changeable, especially with typhoons and frequent rains. If there is no shelter, accidents can easily happen, such as a fatal cold or fever.

It's too dangerous to get sick in this place without medicine or hospitals!

He took out an axe and hammer, which was about the length of his forearm and very handy.

The long handle is slightly curved to make it easier to use force. One end is a hammer head and the other end is an axe.

Although it is small in size, it gives you a sense of security when you hold it in your hand.

"So the most important task now is to find shelter and food!"

By now Wen Liang had rested well and stood up to look around.

I was on a long sandy beach with a rocky beach not far away. There were many coconut trees inside, and if I looked further in, there seemed to be a forest.

Thinking about the plot in the movie, Wen Liang decided to go to the rocky beach to see if there was a cave, and it would be even better if it was higher.

That way you don't have to worry about wind, rain or high tides.

Wen Liang took off all his clothes, which were all wet. His sneakers were still on his feet, but they were also wet.

Wen Liang was not shy. Since there was no one around, he even struck a strong pose to show that he was in good shape.

Wring out the water from the wet clothes, put on your shoes, and walk towards the shore.

The beach was long and narrow but not very wide. Wen Liang walked up quickly and saw many trees. Wen Liang only recognized coconut trees and palm trees and did not know what species the others were.

Seeing two coconut trees next to each other, Wen Liang took out a hemp rope and tied it to the trees, using it as a clothesline to dry his shoes and clothes.

He took out new dry clothes and put them on. At this time, Wen Liang was wearing a pair of plastic slippers and beach shorts and a vest.

He looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, then took out his straw hat and put it on his head.

The top priority is to find food sources and find shelter, both of which can be done simultaneously, with the common premise of being familiar with the surrounding environment first.

There are many sources of food. There is a high probability that you will get food and water when you open blind boxes every day, but the quantity is very touching. If you only rely on this, you will starve to death!

Think about what Chuck did in the movie, fishing, catching crabs, coconuts and rainwater were all sources of food and water.

Of course, there may be unexpected surprises in the woods, maybe pheasants or rabbits?

Furthermore, you also need to see if there are any large animals in this place, or any creatures that can threaten your life.

At the same time, you need to find a reliable cave or a convenient location to build a shelter. You also need to find dry firewood for cooking and heating...

After a little thought, there are too many things to do, so I can only do them in order of urgency.

Tightening the axe and hammer in his hands, Wen Liang walked towards the woods.

After the devastation caused by the storm a few days ago, the island is now littered with branches and leaves broken by the wind.

Wen Liang walked in carefully, passing a grove of coconut and palm trees. There were more and more types of trees behind him, the grass became more lush, and the vines gradually increased, blocking his way from time to time.

The axe and hammer in his hand kept cutting and chopping, and Wen Liang moved forward with difficulty, leaving a vaguely visible path. However, the axe and hammer were not as good as professional machetes, so it was not easy to use.

After a break in the middle, about an hour later, Wen Liang finally passed through the densely populated area. The trees became sparse and the terrain rose higher.

Wen Liang looked up and through the sparse gaps between the trees, he saw the somewhat bare mountaintop.

After passing through the woods and climbing to the top of the mountain, Wen Liang found that the sun had passed directly above his head. He took out his cell phone and looked... Well, time seemed to have stopped at the moment before the time travel.

Seeing that it had no reference value, Wen Liang put the phone back into the storage space. Then he stood on the top of the mountain and looked around. The coastline in the distance was vaguely visible. That was the beach where he woke up.

After walking around and observing, Wen Liang finally confirmed that this was indeed an island, and it looked quite large. There was also a beach on the other side and a rocky mountain in the middle. There was a dense forest in the middle of the island, and it was unclear what species the creatures were or what animals were there.

Although I had expected this, I still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Who would want to suffer here if they could stay in human society?

A faint feeling of loneliness lingered in his heart. Wen Liang tried to cheer himself up and think about what to do next.

This exploration was very physically demanding. There were no signs of human activity on the island, let alone any mountain roads. I had to find my way all the way up, but fortunately, there were almost no plants after reaching the mountainside, probably because of the years of storm damage.

Since no caves or similar places were found, perhaps he could look along the coastline, but that was not possible today. Looking at the time, he needed to get back to the coastline as soon as possible. It was not clear whether there was any danger in the woods, and Wen Liang did not want to take risks at night.

The return journey was much easier and faster than the way there. It took less than half an hour to get back, but Wen Liang was still exhausted and out of breath.

In the past, his job was not physically demanding, and several years of work and social activities had left his body in a sub-healthy state. Now, after experiencing so much and walking so much, Wen Liang felt he could no longer bear it.

Pick up some dry firewood along the way to start a fire and cook.

We were lucky. There are dense forests here. Although there was a big storm yesterday, we were still able to find a lot of dry firewood. Many of them were a little wet, so we could put them in when the fire is burning. The worst that would happen is that there would be more smoke.

Back at the shore, Wen Liang threw down the firewood, sat down, took out a bottle of mineral water, and gulped down a few gulps.

While drinking, Wen Liang suddenly stopped. He suddenly realized that although water was not the most scarce resource here, he still had to cherish water before finding a stable source of fresh water.

Looking at the remaining half bottle of water, Wen Liang screwed the cap on. His consciousness sank into the warehouse of the storage space. There were 12 bottles in a pack of mineral water. He took out one bottle and there were 11 left. If he used it sparingly, could it last a week?

I might not even last a week. Thinking of this, I feel a stronger sense of crisis, but...

For no reason I thought of Chuck in the movie.

"At least I'm luckier than him. He has nothing... No, he still has a lifeboat that can protect him from the wind and rain."

After a long time, Wen Liang, who had rested enough, cheered up again, picked out some dry firewood from the firewood he brought, took out a lighter and started to light it.

Wen Liang was a little annoyed after trying several times but failed to light it. Suddenly he remembered that he still had some good stuff that he hadn't used yet, so he quickly found it from the space.

Wen Liang took out his notebook, tore off a piece of paper, and then used an axe to break up the dry wood into small pieces. He carefully lit the paper with a lighter, then slowly lit the thin wood, and then slowly ignited the other firewood.

Slowly, a bonfire was lit. Wen Liang quickly picked up some bark and tree trunks from the ground nearby and placed them next to the bonfire, roasting them while they were burning before continuing to cook.

The orange-red bonfire burned, dimming the surrounding light. The not-so-big flame was a little flickering, but it brought Wen Liang indescribable warmth and stability.

"It will definitely get better!"
