Chapter 3360 Set fire to the island

In the next few days, God favored Luo Zheng and Lan Xue. Every day was sunny and the temperature was pleasant. Luo Zheng used this time to cut down many trees, all the way to the mountains. This means that once the fire breaks out, it can burn directly to the mountains. Seeing that it was almost done, Luo Zheng cut down some small branches and built a dozen tic-tac-shaped fires. The inside was hollow and placed some flammable branches and weeds for easy ignition in the future.

Everything was ready, but the only thing left was the east. Ordinary winds would definitely not be enough to support combustion. Moreover, newly cut trees need to be exposed to the sun for several days to be completely dry and easy to burn. Luo Zheng and Lan Xue waited patiently. More than two months passed. Yes, within a few days.

With nothing going on, Luo Zheng went to the stream forest to cut down huanghuali trees and prepare to make another raft. As an experienced veteran, Luo Zheng knew not to put eggs in one basket. If no one notices the fire, The islands and the trees on the islands have been burned out again. By then, there will be no conditions for self-rescue using a raft. We must prepare a raft before then.

The days of waiting are also idle. You can build another raft and practice your sword skills. Why not? Lan Xing was in favor of Luo Zheng's approach and stayed with him every day to guard him. Luo Zheng took Lan Xue's tiger fang saber, swung both swords, opened the bow left and right, and incorporated the "no return" sword technique taught by the Tiger King into the cutting process. , after a few days, I gradually gained a new understanding, and my sword skills became more proficient and sharp.

Without Lan Xue to help carry the wood, Luo Zheng naturally couldn't cut down those big trees that were hugging each other. They couldn't drag them, so he had to pick some targets that could carry them. Without thick wood to make beams, Luo Zheng combined four of them into one. , tied tightly with tree rope, tied in a few more places to ensure that it will not fall apart, the effect is not much different.

As for the wood placed on the beam, it is naturally the same as before. With the experience of building a raft for the first time, and making a familiar road again, the efficiency is obviously much higher. Before I know it, another month has passed. In this month, besides It rained a little, and there was no crazy thunderstorm like last time. The maximum wind force was only level 5. It only happened once, and it was during the day, so it was impossible to use it.

After a month of long waiting, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue became anxious, but in order not to put pressure on each other, the two of them laughed vigorously and looked like they didn't care, but they both understood the other's inner thoughts, but neither one That's all. Fortunately, I built another raft in a month.

This time the raft was placed on the cliff. Luo Zheng used his free time to move stones and pave a slope. The slope of the slope was calculated. The raft was laid from the position of the raft to the bottom of the cliff, and some logs were added as tracks. Regarding the function of the pulley, if you want to launch the raft into the sea, you only need to use wood to pry the raft down the slope. There are logs on the slope as tracks, and the friction is small, so it is not too difficult to go down.

What makes Luo Zheng and Lan Xue depressed is that everything is ready, but the wind has not come yet. Counting the time, they have spent more than three months on the desert island, and Lan Xue's reaction is much bigger. , I couldn't help but want to vomit out anything I ate, which made Luo Zheng, who had no experience in childbirth, worry every day and worry to death.

The days were waiting to pass slowly. Luo Zheng, apart from going out to hunt and stock up on food, spent the rest of his time taking care of Lan Xue. The raft was ready, and the fire in the southwest area was also ready. There was nothing to be busy with. But the wind never came, and Luo Zheng became anxious every day when he saw Lan Xue vomiting, wishing he could leave this desert island immediately.

It wasn't until dusk a week later that the wind suddenly increased, rolling in with waves. The wind force exceeded level 5 and was likely to increase. Luo Zheng was so happy that he rushed out of the cave and jumped onto a big rock to observe for a while. , it didn’t look like it was going to rain, the waves rushed to the beach turbulently, and the wind became a bit stronger.

"Today is the day." Lan Xue also came to the cave and shouted in surprise.

"Yeah, it's finally here. As long as it doesn't rain, tonight is a good choice." Luo Zheng also said excitedly. It has been too long to wait for this day to arrive. Luo Zheng quickly rushed to the cave and gave Lan Xue a blow. He said excitedly: "The wait is finally here, I can go home."

"Yeah!" Lan Xue also said excitedly. Although setting fire may not be effective, how would you know if you don't try? If it really doesn't work, then we can only accept our fate. It's even more torturous to be left hanging like this. Lan Xue said happily: "What should we do next?"

"The wind is too strong. You wait for me here while I set fire. There are rocky mountains everywhere here. The fire can't burn here. It's safe inside the cave. I'll go back quickly alone." Luo Zheng said.

Lan Xue knew that Luo Zheng was worried about her, and that going out in the strong wind might injure the fetus, so she agreed: "Okay, be careful yourself, I will wait for you to come back here. The waves are faintly covering the beach, and there is no way to go." Come on, you can set the fire when it gets dark. If there is no way back, it’s not too late to go back when the tide goes out. Safety first.”

Luo Zheng agreed, simply packed up, and handed two pistols to Lan Xue for self-defense. He also brought a tiger-tooth saber and two spare bullets, and jumped down from the cave to the coast. The beach was already submerged by the tide, and the waves were all over the place. To reach the coastal forest, Luo Zheng ran all the way along the coast.

In about half an hour, Luo Zheng rushed to the southwest area almost in one breath, found the fire, and quickly found flammable materials and several torches. These were all prepared long ago. The torches were covered with grease, and the grease was all The ones taken from hunted animals can ensure that the torches will not be blown out in strong winds.

Luo Zheng quickly pried open the two bullets, poured the gunpowder inside onto the flammable material, picked up a piece of bluestone, and slashed at the bluestone with a tiger-tooth saber. Sparks flew away and landed on the gunpowder, which made the gunpowder sneer. There was a roar of burning, green smoke rising, and flammable materials were also ignited.

Not long after, a small bonfire was lit by Luo Zheng. Looking at the bonfire that was getting more and more prosperous, Luo Zheng smiled and saw that it was getting late. It would be completely dark in less than half an hour, and this fire would take half an hour. Only then could the weather form and sweep up the mountains. Luo Zheng estimated the time and picked up the prepared torch next to him without hesitation.

Five in each hand, he took ten at once, quickly lit the torch, and then rushed towards the fire. The fire was deconstructed in a tic-tac-shape shape. It was hollow inside and filled with flammable materials. After being exposed to the sun for several days, it was completely dry. A spark would catch fire. , Luo Zheng ran excitedly and threw the torch into the fire.

The torch fell in the middle of the fire and quickly ignited the flammable materials inside. As the fire became stronger, the dry firewood piled in a tic-shaped shape also started to burn. Luo Zheng believed in his plan and did not worry about the fire at all. After throwing ten torches, he started to burn again. He turned back, grabbed other torches, continued to light them, and continued to throw them into other fires. He laughed excitedly, his eyes full of desire to go back.
