"Quick, retreat!"
Gu Beichuan jumped off the rope and looked at the sky again. Good heavens, the black clouds were almost above his head.
Boss, this rope?"
"It's too late. Let's go."
If this rain fell, the two of them would not be able to return. The island under their feet was not their own island. They did not bring enough food, and they could not sign in for supplies on other people's islands. If they were delayed and stayed on this island, their lives would be at great risk.
He had to rush back immediately!
Gu Beichuan no longer hesitated. He picked up his mountain axe, which was still in good condition, and picked up two branches from the ground. Then, he brought Fatty down the mountain.
Fatty picked up the other three branches and glanced at the Mountain Breaker Axe that had already been curled up.
"Boss, this axe…what should we do…"
"I don't want it anymore…"
Gu Beichuan made a prompt decision. He wanted to bring as few things as possible. The binoculars and spyglass were treasures. Besides, they didn't carry much weight and were convenient to carry. What was the use of this curled mountain axe?
The two of them quickly descended the mountain.
Little Tian flew low along the hill.
"Rumble…"
The thunder in the sky began to become denser.
Yang Mi and Reba were so anxious that they didn't see Gu Beichuan's reply.
The two of them had already moved all the items that could be moved into the jeep according to Gu Beichuan's instructions.
However, as she watched the dark clouds continue to press in, Yang Mi was worried about Gu Beichuan and Fatty on one hand, and the crops on the other hand.
The crops would ripen in two days. If they encountered a storm, their losses would be disastrous.
"Where's Xiao Bai?" Yang Mi scanned the surroundings of the jeep but did not see any trace of Little White.
" On the beach south of the karst cave…"
Although Little White's real master was Yang Mi, it had been with Gu Beichuan for a long time and understood that this man was with its master. Therefore, it had long regarded Gu Beichuan as its second master. Now that it realized that the island was missing its master, it was more anxious than the two girls.
"Reba, before it rains, bring that wolf skin blanket over. We'll set up a few bamboo poles and make a canopy over the crops.”
Yang Mi was really worried about these precious crops. Gu Beichuan had planted almost all the seeds this time. If they were really flooded, then their group would really suffer a serious loss.
The east wind blew and the dark clouds pressed down. The two girls took the time to pull out a few fences that were not strong enough and inserted them into the soil as the support of the crop canopy.
"Sister Mi, this is a few hundred square meters of land. This wolf skin blanket is only a few square meters. It's not enough…"
"Let's not worry about that for now. We've already protected the most precious A-grade seed. The rest can only be left to the heavens.”
For now, he could only abandon his soldiers and protect his commander.
Back then, he had only obtained 30 A-grade Epic seeds. These seeds were the most precious. If they were destroyed, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to obtain another A-grade seed.
Ten minutes later, the two of them finally covered all the A-class seeds.
The dark clouds had already covered two-thirds of the sky.
"Ah Chuan, Ah Chuan…Are you done? If you can't make it in time, forget it. Hurry up and come back…"
Yang Mi messaged Gu Beichuan again.
Three minutes later, she finally got a reply from Gu Beichuan.
"We just got on the motorboat…"
Gu Beichuan and Fatty hopped onto the motorboat, and Fatty immediately turned around.
Gu Beichuan finally had the time to reply to Yang Mi.
"Boss…the battery seems to be low…"
Fatty's words made Gu Beichuan frown again.
He turned his head to look at the power system. As expected, there was less than a quarter of the power left.
It was all because of the damn weather. Gu Beichuan had calculated that even if he took a slight detour, the motorboat could still absorb solar energy to charge after parking. Now, he did not even know where the sun was, let alone absorbing solar energy.
"Keep moving forward in a straight line at a constant speed.”
Gu Beichuan had no choice but to save energy as much as possible. He had already picked up the mountain axe and began to cut the branches.
Although the wind was favorable, this amount of electricity was not enough to guarantee that he could return to the camp. He had to be prepared to paddle manually.
Five minutes later, the rain began to fall. The most depressing thing was that the wind began to change slightly.
"Boss, there's only one-fifth of the battery left. The system is warning us!”
Fatty observed the remaining power from time to time. When it was less than one-fifth, the power system started to alarm.
Gu Beichuan regretted that he had not made sufficient preparations. After all, it was his first time going out on a motorboat. He had no idea how long the power system could support it. Moreover, the motorboat was new. He did not know if the charging system was really full.
All of the above, coupled with the sudden change in the weather, had caused his current predicament.
"We're two nautical miles away from the camp. It's not a big problem.”
As long as the wind direction did not change, Gu Beichuan was confident that he could slowly return with his bare hands.
However, it would be troublesome if they started to go against the wind.
Gu Beichuan glanced around.
His island was already on his right.
"Fatty, keep close to the coastline.”
Gu Beichuan had to prepare for the worst.
What he was afraid of really happened.
In the last nautical mile, the wind direction suddenly changed, and the ocean was turbulent.
The speed of the motorboat had obviously slowed down, and the power system was close to zero.
Gu Beichuan and Fatty tried to paddle by hand, but the motorboat's weight, their own weight, and the wind power were enough to propel them.
The wooden oars that Gu Beichuan had hand-made could not change the situation at all.
"Fatty, charge to the shore. There's a beach at two o'clock. Let's go ashore!”
The only thing he could do now was to quickly go ashore and return to the camp on foot.
"Rumble…"
The thunder became more and more intense, and bean-sized raindrops began to pour down.
Occasionally, flashes of lightning lit up the dark sky.
" Slash…"
The motorboat used up its last bit of power and automatically entered hibernation mode.
Gu Beichuan and Fatty used the last bit of inertia to force the motorboat onto the beach.
"Boss, did the motorboat get washed away?？”
The two of them jumped off the motorboat with all their belongings. Fatty was a little reluctant to part with this precious motorboat.
" Don't worry about it. It's not safe outside…"
Gu Beichuan knew what was more important. Although the motorboat was expensive, it was nothing compared to life and death.
These bolts of lightning and thunder did not have eyes.
If he was struck by this, he would really be reduced to ashes.
"Boom!"
Another loud thunder sounded in Gu Beichuan and Fatty's ears.
"Run! Throw the other things into the jungle first!"
Gu Beichuan shouted at Fatty…
