Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady

35 – Isle getting hotter (4)

After connecting the long cut bamboo to each other, connect the short horizontally cut bamboo below it to make it strong, and tie it across the branches.

“This completes the bridge.”

Three long and short bridges connecting the house and the studio. Chester, who made the last one, walked cautiously across the bridge.

“Not bad… … .”

Then, looking left and right and down, I checked the height that led to the ground below without a single railing.

“In case you don’t know, I’ll have to prepare a safety device. Monia! How many bamboos are left?”

“uh… … I have two long ones left!”

“Show me some.”

Monia, who was anxiously watching Chester not to fall, pulled out a bamboo stick and showed it to him at Chester’s words.

“That should be fine.”

“sleep… ! Walk slowly! Lower your back! Why are you striding so fast?!”

The walking Chester was unconcerned, but Monia, who was watching, became impatient and shouted.

Upon receiving the bamboo, Chester measured the three legs and the length of the bamboo, then cut the bamboo to the height of his waist.

Tie the cut bamboo to the side of the bridge to make a pole.

After setting up bamboo poles on the left and right, we set up the poles again in the area where we pass from bridge to bridge.

And I took a long twisted rope and tied it between the posts to make a simple handrail.

“done.”

“Hey, what happened to that?”

“Handrail.”

“I think it will fall sideways… … .”

“You just have to hold on to the rope and walk carefully. It’s not that my legs are narrow.”

After completing the studio, Chester and Monia began moving objects that had taken up space in the house.

After moving the luggage and securing space in the house, Monia jumped into the moss bed excitedly and rolled over.

“It’s good! The house has expanded!”

“Yeah. I can sleep comfortably today. Thanks to the spaciousness of the space, the air seems to flow well.”

Thanks to this, the temperature inside the house seems to be a little lower.

After spending the day completing the studio, Chester and Monia sat around a campfire and talked.

“Now then, let’s talk about what to do tomorrow.”

“What are you doing?”

“If the day gets hotter than this, you don’t know what will happen because of the heat. or get heatstroke.”

“… … .”

“So if I can, I want to keep my stamina as long as possible and not move.”

“Ah, then why did you pile up preserved food while reducing the amount you eat?”

“yes. In the middle of the heat, I tried to go outside as much as possible. But I really can’t leave.”

People need water to live.

“So, starting tomorrow, we’ll build a canal.”

“… … Yes?”

“yes? Did I say something strange?”

“no no. no. No, is it Suro?”

“A waterway is a waterway.”

“I know that! No, I know! What is water?! How do you make it!”

“Bamboo.”

“What almighty bamboo is!”

“Bamboo is omnipotent.”

Chester had been thinking about building a canal since the moment he discovered the falls.

There is also bamboo. If you can penetrate the bamboo membrane, you can easily move water to your dwelling using the power of the waterfall.

“Now, let’s think about how to make it.”

“Are you making it?”

“I will make it.”

Chester took a large leaf and scratched it with a stone knife to simply mark the height of the waterfall he always saw.

And after marking the height of their house, they thought about the distance between it and the waterfall.

‘The time from home to the river alone without Monia… When I think of my stride when walking in the woods… .’

After measuring the distance, recall the height of the bamboo growing around you.

It would be nice if the bamboo could be stretched out and connected easily, but that is not easy.

Since the membrane inside the bamboo must be removed, it must be cut into pieces to a length that can be processed, processed, and then connected.

Thinking of this, how many bamboos are needed, and whether or not it is possible to make water flow only when necessary and not to flow otherwise.

‘If I could adjust the angle of the waterway, I think it would be possible… … .’

If you pull the entire waterway up when not in use, and lower it only when in use… … .

‘Can I use a rope? You’ll need a lot of rope.’

The simpler the structure, the better.

Simple is strong.

Chester poked his head out the window and inspected the branches above the house.

‘Here and… .’

Then go down and check the branch under the house where you left the bridge.

‘Here and… .’

While watching it, I thought of the structure in my head.

It’s not difficult to make.

It would take a lot of effort, but since there is also a preserved food, I calculated that it would only take a day or two even if it was long, or a few days even if there was an unexpected event.

The problem is the material.

‘It’s not difficult to make. The problem is waterproofing. It is meaningless if all the water flows out through the gaps created by connecting the bamboos… .’

After checking the ingredients needed, Chester told Monia.

“Let’s find a tree tomorrow.”

“Yes? It is a tree that is scattered.”

“A little special tree. Giving up hunting for a while… I think I need to wander around the island for a while.”

“Yes?”

“I’m going over the river.”

* * *

As the weather on the island warmed, it wasn’t just Chester and Monia that changed their behavior.

Just as Chester and Monia prepare to beat the heat, some animals try to escape the heat by burrowing deep into the cold ground.

On the other hand, as the animals gradually disappeared, unable to withstand the heat, other animals began to pamper themselves as if they were alternating with it.

The first change that appeared was that there were more bugs.

“If you burn wet wood to make smoke, you can keep the bugs away.”

There used to be a lot of bugs, but Chester and Monia have been feeling more bugs lately.

And, of course, creatures that want to eat those bugs also began to appear.

“The bird has been caught.”

For example, in the case of land fishing that Chester arranged, a bird was caught from somewhere.

“Can you catch a bird?”

“Maybe this is a bug-eating bird flying near the ground.”

“Ugh. … … It is pitiful to eat.”

“Should I burn it with fire and blow away the feathers? Cut your hair before that.”

“Kyaaa!”

“Let’s have breakfast quickly and go investigate across the river.”

And mammals have been noticeably reduced, and amphibians and reptiles are often seen.

“… … Is that a lizard?”

“Yo, isn’t that a dragon?”

Monia trembled and asked at the words Chester spat out in a small voice when he found a strange creature after walking a short distance across the river.

At Monia’s word dragon, Chester nodded.

“It definitely looked like a dragon.”

According to legend, dragons are giant winged reptiles with armor-like scales all over their bodies.

The creature, which is thought to have been born as a lizard adapted to this island, had a skin that looked like armor-like scales.

It’s a bit strange to say, but it really was.

Its torso was about two of Chester’s forearms, and about the same length as Chester’s.

It had terrifying bright yellow eyes and a deformed mouth that was much longer than that of an ordinary lizard.

“How on earth can a creature like that be born?”

“Devil! It must be the work of the devil!”

An unidentified creature in front of you… Unlike Chester, who always sees the crocodile as an extension of the lizard and observes it, Monia is terrified, saying that the devil must be doing it.

“This island is Devil’s Island!”

“What are you talking about.”

“Or how could snakes and monsters exist?!”

“Is that enough to say… … .”

Chester looked at the crocodile again.

“But isn’t that a bit too much to be called a dragon?”

“Of course, the dragon drawn through word of mouth and the actual dragon must be different!”

“It has no wings.”

“I’m sure he’s hiding it somewhere!”

“… … Also not a dragon It’s ridiculous that something as big as a dragon can fly in the sky.”

“Then what is that?”

“Yeah… It must be one of the animals that live on this island.”

One of the animals living on the island.

Monia, who saw the snake and was horrified that it was a devil, but realized that it was just one of the animals, couldn’t deny Chester’s words.

As Monia shuts up, Chester turns his attention back to the crocodile.

“there.”

“yes?”

“So, are you going to catch it?”

“… … By what means?”

According to Chester, Monia saw an alligator.

I don’t know what that creature is, but it’s clear that it looks incredibly strong.

“I never thought I would meet a monster like that just by crossing a river.”

“Ugh. Can’t we go back home?”

“But I need to find Susie. I will make it into numbers.”

“What is that bastard’s water line?”

As Chester lowers himself and backs away, Monia follows Chester backwards.

“Let’s get away for now.”

“Yes. That would be nice.”

The two men and women ran away from the crocodile and went back.

“I never thought there could be a creature like that in the world.”

“Ugh, it gives me goosebumps. Those yellow eyes… … .”

“It was definitely scary for the eyes.”

As he said that, Chester recalled the body structure of an alligator.

‘Looking at it, it looks like you can’t see the back of your head well… … .’

If you are going to hunt it, it would be better to aim for the back of the head.

‘It’s best if I don’t have to hunt a guy like that.’

The shape of a crocodile he had never seen before lingered in Chester’s mind for a long time.

The first appearance of a creature.

It was seen as a warning from the island, which began to change shape with the change in temperature.
