Cao Wei also took out the drag knife again, found a relatively strong tree, and chopped it down sideways towards the big tree.

"bass!"

There was a crisp sound like a knife cutting through paper, and then the big tree tilted to one side and slowly fell down in one direction.

Cao Wei raised the knife again, and with the sharpness of the knife, he chopped the big tree into small pieces of various arm thickness like chopping wood.

"Okay, it should be almost done this time." Cao Wei picked up a pile of firewood and smiled with satisfaction.

"You have already chopped so much firewood, why do you want the two of us to pick up these pine branches?" Lao Jin was stunned for a moment, looking at the wood in Cao Wei's hands, and then at the pitiful crooked branches in the hands of himself and the dark man branches.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to take the firewood home in time. If it rains and gets wet on the way, I won't be able to light the fire." Cao Wei patiently explained to the two of them: "The pine branches are different, there is a lot of flammable grease inside. It ignites easily even when wet."

Seeing the suddenly enlightened expressions on the faces of Lao Jin and the dark man, Cao Wei looked at the sky, and quickly led them back to the camp.

On the other side, under Han Fei's instructions, Leng Qing climbed to the top of the tree several times, picked some lush branches, and brought them back in bundles.

"Okay, this should be enough." Han Fei looked at Leng Qing who was almost submerged by the branches, and couldn't help laughing.

Before she finished speaking, Leng Qing directly picked up a pile of branches and leaves and threw them on him.

"I have put in all the effort that should be put in. The rest is your job." Leng Qing picked up more branches and threw them into Han Fei's arms, then walked away on footsteps, humming softly.

"Hey! Can I be wrong?! Do me a favor!" Han Fei didn't have the physical strength of Cao Wei, and was overwhelmed by these branches and leaves, but due to Leng Qing's temper, he could only drag himself Bundles of branches ambled along.

The so-called practice makes perfect, and it took almost no effort. When the raindrops just fell on the ground, Cao Wei also covered the branches and leaves on the built wooden house as a roof for shelter from wind and rain.

Then he picked up some not too heavy stones from various places and pressed them on top so that the branches and leaves would not be blown away by the wind.

It is said to be a wooden house, but it is actually just a small shack, which can only be used for people to squat in it. Fortunately, the area is large enough. If everyone lies in it, it will not be too crowded.

Not long after entering, the rain outside began to fall.

Raindrops the size of stones kept hitting the ground, and after a while, trickles formed on the ground and flowed everywhere.

"With such a heavy rain, it will definitely cause floods if it rains for two to three hours." Lao Jin sat in the outermost corner of the wooden house, looked out with his head, and said with a frown.

When he was about to say the second sentence, Han Fei rushed forward and covered his mouth.

"Old Jin!" Han Fei looked nervous, shaking his head while admonishing every word: "Don't open your mouth, be careful that your words become prophecies."

Lao Jin blinked his eyes twice quickly, and when Han Fei let go of his hand, he said dissatisfiedly: "I can just talk about it casually."

"No." Han Fei emphasized again.

"My only hobby is to ramble a few words, you"

"That's not OK."

Han Fei refused to enter, and Lao Jin then leaned weakly against the door, watching the rain outside boredly.

Cao Wei also found it funny looking at it, and he couldn't guess what Han Fei was thinking at this time, he just thought it must be because Lao Jin's luck was too strong, if things really developed according to Lao Jin's ideas, it would be really good for them No good.

"Why does it rain and not thunder?" After a while, Lao Jin looked up at the sky again and said to himself.

But after he remembered Han Fei's warning, he turned his head quickly, looked at Han Fei with a serious face and said, "I'm not talking nonsense this time, it rains and thunder is necessary, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed above his head, and a purple thunder almost split the sky in two.

And under the gaze of everyone, the thunder struck straight towards the forest not far away.

Chapter 96: Wildfires

Lao Jin hurriedly covered his mouth, but still couldn't hold back, and said vaguely through his fingers:

"Damn, you don't have to cooperate with me like this?"

Han Fei looked at the place where the thunder light fell and did not speak. He was also a little surprised by this sudden natural phenomenon.

And this thunder is not the end, after that, the sky will form a grid in almost a few seconds, and then condense into a bolt of lightning and strike all over the island.

"Old Cao, have you seen this kind of weather before?" Han Fei frowned and gnashed his teeth, asking amidst the sound of the rain falling.

"It's a bit weird, maybe it's because of some kind of extreme weather." Cao Wei swallowed, all living beings seemed insignificant in front of nature, and even he could only sigh under the destructive thunder .

Han Fei bit his thumb into his mouth, came to the door of the wooden house, and looked into the distance.

He didn't know if it was a hallucination at the place where the first bolt of lightning fell just now, but he vaguely saw a puff of green smoke rising from that place.

Compared with Cao Wei's eyesight is better, Han Fei met his eyes, Cao Wei nodded understandingly, and said: "That's right, there are some flammable pine trees in that place, and the place where the lightning struck happened to be the pine forest. It could lead to wildfires."

"It's raining, how can it catch fire?" Lao Jin couldn't understand what the two of them meant, but he couldn't help asking when he saw that they both looked anxious.

Cao Wei didn't say much, just picked up the pine branch that Lao Jin had found in the woods from the ground, and then peeled off the outer skin of the two branches respectively, stuck them together and rubbed them quickly a few times.

A puff of green smoke rises from the gap where the wood rubbed against, and some flames can still be seen faintly.

"I told you before that even if this kind of wood gets wet, it will not prevent it from burning." Cao Wei threw the wooden stick outside, and the weak flame finally gradually extinguished under the washing of the rain.

While talking, even Leng Qing saw the smoke rising in the distance, and the smoke continued to spread.

In their position, they can just overlook the main forest. Although it seems far away, if the mountain fire ignites, it will still be a big test for everyone.

Just because they were at the northernmost tip of the island at this time, there was an uneven cliff near the edge, and only the highland with a square of [-] meters was surrounded by trees.

These woods are connected together, if the wildfire spreads, it will be a matter of time before it burns near them.

"Old Cao, based on your experience, if we go down the mountain now, can we break through this fire scene?" Han Fei didn't want to hold back in the wooden house anymore, and simply got out and asked loudly against the rain.

"If it's Leng Qing's current speed, then it's fine." Cao Wei smiled wryly, and continued: "This fire seems to be very slow now, but the burning speed will gradually increase with the expansion of the area. There's no way to keep up with how fast it's spreading."

"Then we can only wait now?" The dark man looked worriedly at the cliff behind him, and then at the fire scene in the distance ahead. At this time, not only the smoke could be seen, but even the flames appeared in the crowd. within sight.

"There is such a thing." Han Fei bit his lips fiercely, trying to keep himself calm, thinking about various ways to escape in his mind, but he couldn't take care of everyone's survival.

For Leng Qing, if she wants to survive, she just needs to go through the burning forest and reach the other side of the island while the fire is not too big.For Cao Wei and the dark man, it is entirely possible to consider jumping off the cliff behind them. Given their strength, the chances of them surviving are not small.

But for him and Lao Jin, who are still ordinary people, how to escape is the key to Han Fei's real headache.

"Why is this fire surrounded by a circle?" Leng Qing covered her mouth with one hand, looking at the burning forest with bursts of black smoke, she asked in surprise.

In fact, everyone has discovered this, the fire almost formed a semicircle, and along the direction of the wind, it came straight towards their direction.

It should be said that Han Fei had already realized that something was wrong with the thunder just now, but he couldn't do anything about it. In the face of this kind of absolute suppression, all tricks were nothing more than clever tricks.

"I seem to understand." Han Fei suddenly calmed down and tapped his temple a few times.

"What?" Cao Wei asked.
