Start Saving Yourself
As night fell, Ye Qing went to pick up some dry wood.
Now, he had to keep the fire burning in the cave at all times. Firstly, it was to maintain the temperature, and secondly, he simply felt a sense of security.
At the same time, he lit a bigger bonfire at the entrance of the cave. This time, it was to prevent some blind beasts from running in in the middle of the night and treating him as food.
After a whole day at the radio station, he was in a bad mood. He didn't even bother to cook dinner. He just ate the remaining half of the grilled fish from lunch and lay on the coconut leaves, ready to sleep.
Although it was a lot of deception, it still felt very awkward.
Ye Qing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, so he decided not to sleep either. He opened his eyes and stared at the top of the cave in a daze.
It wasn't until midnight that he couldn't help but take the radio over and dial the channel on it out of boredom. However, the result was the same as during the day. There seemed to be a problem with the signal and he couldn't contact the outside world.
When he picked up the radio, it only had two batteries. Ye Qing did not dare to waste too much time. He tried it for a while before turning off the radio.
He lay down again and listened to the sound of the waves and the wind blowing at the entrance of the cave. He suddenly felt very lonely.
At this moment, he began to feel afraid.
He was afraid that the search and rescue team would never find him. He was afraid that he would live alone on this isolated island for the rest of his life.
People were always so strange. When there was no hope, they didn't think so much. They only needed to satisfy their hunger every day.
But now, the appearance of the radio station made Ye Qing's desire to return to the outside world stronger than ever.
No one knew how excited he was when he heard someone talking on the other end of the radio station.
Unfortunately, because of the language barrier, the connection was eventually lost.
The radio station's signal was very unstable, which made him worry about his gains and losses. He was worried that if the radio station remained in such a state, would he still have any hope of getting out?
As she thought about all this, she fell asleep in a daze with the waves and the wind.
When he woke up the next day, Ye Qing did not get up immediately. Instead, he lay on the coconut leaf and recalled his encounters over the past few days.
He didn't know if the search and rescue team would find him in the end. If they could, when would they find him?
Even though she fell asleep in the end, she couldn't think of a good solution to the problems from last night.
However, at this moment, he was unusually clear-headed.
What was certain was that the various countries were now organizing search and rescue teams to carry out intense rescue missions, but he did not know how far he had drifted on the sea with that box.
Even if the search and rescue team could find him in the end, that would be a matter for the future.
Ye Qing felt that he absolutely could not do nothing.
At the very least, he had to make sure that when the rescue team saw the island, they would know that he was here.
Then, he first needed to make a distress sign.
Whether it was a plane or a search and rescue speedboat, they could see it when they saw the island.
The amount of work required was not small. It could even be said to be very complicated and difficult.
Ye Qing didn't know how big the island was or where the highest point was. As such, he couldn't go to the highest point to make this symbol.
Then, he had to make sure that no matter where his symbol was on the island, it would be discovered by others. Coincidentally, in Ye Qing's mind, he knew a way to achieve his goal.
He calculated the success rate of his plan in his mind. It was still quite high. He immediately became energetic again.
In order to complete this task, he had to first solve the problem of his stomach. Only when he was full would he have the strength to work.
After coming out of the cave, he grabbed a handful of sand from the beach and stuffed it into his mouth.
Of course, don't misunderstand. Ye Qing didn't eat everything he saw because he was starving.
He was just brushing his teeth.
On the island, there was no toothpaste or toothbrush, and he could only eat some grilled fish and prawns. If these things piled up in his teeth, it would easily cause his teeth to rot. He had to keep his mouth clean.
He stuffed a handful of sand into his mouth, then grabbed a handful of seawater. He rubbed his mouth until his gums almost bled.
After rinsing his mouth with seawater, Ye Qing felt particularly uncomfortable. He quickly picked up a coconut and rinsed it with the coconut juice inside. Only then did he feel better.
When he was looking for green crabs on the beach, he actually found a squid that had been washed up by the sea. This made Ye Qing a little excited.
These few days, he had either eaten green crabs or some small fish and prawns. He was a little tired of them. He did not expect God to be so good to him and even know how to improve his diet.
"This beach is really a treasure trove. There's no need to find anything to eat.”
Ye Qing sighed shamelessly and walked into the cave with the squid.
After eating a squid that weighed nearly two pounds, his belly was bulging, and he drank two cups of coconut juice. He then came out of the cave happily and walked towards the forest.
Ye Qing did not have much knowledge about island survival, but that did not prevent him from letting the rescue team find him as quickly as possible.
It was said that in ancient times, when the army sent an emergency message, they would light up the beacon tower to let their companions discover the enemy's situation as quickly as possible.
Ye Qing didn't know how to make smoke, but he knew how to make the smoke thick and float high.
When he went to collect dry wood yesterday, he found a tree. He did not know the scientific name of this tree, but he knew that this tree could emit a very thick smoke after being lit, and it was not easy to be blown away by the wind.
However, each of these trees was thicker than his thigh. At the moment, it was impossible for him to cut them with just a dagger.
And his target was not the trunk of these trees.
All he needed to do was break some branches, the best ones with leaves.
However, there was another problem. The branches were too thin and could not be burned at all. Therefore, they could not be lit at any time. They could only be burned when the rescue team was nearby.
Unless he could exchange for some saws and axes from the system store in the future, he would consider switching to the main branch.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing realized that he had to do one more thing every day in the future--to pay attention to the movements around the island at all times.
As long as he heard the sound of a ship floating over the sea or a plane flying over his head, he would immediately ignite these branches and leaves.
After collecting for the whole morning, Ye Qing had collected a small hill of branches and leaves. He was not in the mood to make delicious food. He casually ate some coconut meat and began to move these branches and leaves to the beach.
He picked a spot that didn't seem to be easily affected by the tide and began to pile the branches and leaves together to form a tall bonfire.
Of course, if it was just a small branch, it would be easily blown away by the wind. Therefore, when he piled up the branches and leaves, he found some thick and dry dead wood from the forest and used it to stack with the branches and leaves.
This way, not only could it protect the branches and leaves, but it would also be easier to burn them.
