Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 477 The Retirement Life of a Down-on-His-Luck Tycoon 14

The sky was clear and blue.

The heat dissipates the dampness from the shadows, and combined with the gentle sea breeze, it brings a sense of tranquility and peace.

Around nine o'clock, Xia Youmi stretched and went to check the things that were drying.

Noticing that Valer had not yet emerged, she nimbly approached and quietly moved the stone pressing against the curtain, completing the ritual to release the dragon.

A model worker slept until the sun was high in the sky.

One said he was keeping watch but slept soundly.

It all comes down to the profound skill of coaxing someone to sleep every year.

Xia Youmi was quickly persuaded and went into hibernation. As for Valer, whether he was exhausted or chose to trust Xia Youmi, he slept soundly for once.

"Good morning, brother! The weather is so nice. The things I hung out to dry last night are dry in just half a morning."

"Hmm." Valer looked at the sea, his brow furrowing and then relaxing.

at least,

Weather can indeed bring convenience.

After a late breakfast, Xia Youmi hung the dried ash out to dry. Actually, she had noticed something was wrong when she relieved herself. It was only the third day, and she was almost completely clean, and her physical condition was close to normal. The soreness in her lower back and abdomen that should have been a lingering pain from the intense pain was also much less than usual.

It cannot be quantified scientifically.

This can only be attributed to the sense of crisis brought about by the change of environment, and the body-refining technique's ability to quickly regulate and replenish the endocrine system.

Xia Youmi is someone who is easily blessed with good fortune. When the weather is nice, her mood improves, and she also encounters things that cause her troubles to leave early.

She couldn't hide her joy at all.

They worked together, sharing tasks and greeting each other with smiles.

but,

"Is the temperature going to skyrocket today?" Xia Youmi counted the time on her watch. It was only around ten o'clock, but it already felt like the highest temperature on a normal day.

It's also extremely dry; the sand is so hot that it burns your feet when you step on it.

"Big brother!" Xia Youmi reported, jogging over. "Something's wrong today! It's so hot!"

"..."

Valer continued with his work, unsurprised that Xia Youmi had changed his assessment of the weather in less than an hour.

Since they lack sophisticated testing equipment, they have to respond promptly to every slight change.

"Put the things away first."

"it is good!"

With permission granted, Xia Youmi, like a squirrel leader who had regained her energy, darted back and forth around the base.

Although it was just a simple matter of packing things up, Xia Youmi was actually doing it according to the highest defense standards.

Whether it's intuition or experience.

Something seems off today.

Even after resting for only a short while each year, he began scanning the sea, the accident site in the jungle, and the edge of the jungle.

The hyenas didn't reappear, and the meat left there was digested by the species that frequently appeared, and everything was peaceful as if no conflict had ever occurred.

Even Waler didn't think to go into the forest to investigate the truth in time; he just kept stretching and trimming the harvested hides to keep them tough.

Their rhythm was quite synchronized.

Whenever Xia Youmi finished tidying up a place and came over for a drink of water, Waler would carry the pile of things to the rain shelter.

Anyway,

One puts in the thought, the other puts in the effort.

In less than half an hour, all their main supplies were gathered and put away.

"Big brother."

Xia Youmi raised her hand and picked up a loose thread from her sleeve.

Valer turned around and saw the end of the thread being blown up and then falling back down, its direction and force becoming unpredictable.

"Let's go, gather together."

"Yes!"

If at first it was just about dealing with the rain and supplies, now it's clear that a more serious situation has emerged.

Wales' focus was on their canopies, reinforcing and securing them.

The previously stored hemp ropes were all taken out for use in the shed, which was surrounded by "dead stakes" that were deeply embedded in the ground.

"The humidity has increased."

"Thermal low pressure".

"It seems there's more to it than just torrential rain."

"Yes."

Xia Youmi was discussing the weather with Nian Nian when suddenly, the voice and images in her mind switched simultaneously. Nian Nian solemnly reminded her, "Youmi, a ship has appeared."

"Well, Niannian, there's no need to expend too much energy. Let's get closer first."

Xia Youmi could see the situation, and the sailboat had only just reached the edge that Nian Nian could scan.

and,

The fact that they appeared and disappeared intermittently indicates that their route was not to land on the island.

After careful observation, it can be basically determined that they are cautiously spying on them from a distance imperceptible to the naked eye, circling the edge of the island.

Xia Youmi was busy with her work and didn't need to look at Waler.

If they didn't go to the island, they could have survived the heavy rain.

However, if an external force wants to invade, the jungle may not be a convenient place to hide.

"Ugh......"

Naturally, as the clouds continued to gather, Xia Youmi's emotions were able to smoothly express her worries.

She also picked up the hunting bow that Valer had made for her. It was of excellent weight and felt great in her hand. She focused intently and drew back the bow without an arrow. The "hum" sound was taut with the force of the arrow. Without warning, it suddenly released, leaving only a tingling sensation in her fingertips.

Xia Youmi thought that Waler's move was a killing blow.

This bow is not something that can be made into a simple toy. Even when Xia Youmi tried it out, he clearly couldn't pull it.

Ultimately, Valle did not reduce the bow's draw weight, but insisted on maintaining its lethality and effective range.

Midday,

A hearty meal leaves one feeling warm and comfortable.

However, the air began to feel sticky, and the perceived temperature was also due to external factors. Needless to say, Xia Youmi and Valer were already in top-level preparation.

At this moment, the two were still just staring at nature.

But very quickly, almost within ten minutes, the sun was swallowed up, and the sky rapidly turned from gray to pitch black. Terrifyingly, the wind suddenly stopped, and the sea became deathly still.

"Big brother."

"Hide!"

In a flash, Wale, who was observing from a high vantage point, quickly locked onto the ship whose lights had been turned on on the sea.

seem,

Faced with the sudden change in weather, they rushed to give instructions and didn't notice that they had steered the boat to a distance where it could be seen. Especially in the darkness, even the faintest artificial light was incredibly dazzling.

Valer gripped his weapon tightly and said coldly, "Don't show yourself. Stay in the defensive position."

"Yes!"

Xia Youmi didn't need to cower; their so-called defensive point was inside the highest awning. Facing due south, there was a natural rock blocking the way, while the sides were camouflaged to avoid looking out of place. In addition, the three sides without the rock had temporary barriers made of hyena skin.

This was originally the process of drying hyena skins.

Xia Youmi simply placed them around the awning, hoping they could at least provide some basic protection against a puncture.

Valer then accepted the name of the defensive point.

but,

Unexpectedly, the structure, built to prevent attacks by wild animals, was first attacked by potential artillery shells from humans.

If it were actually launched, the defensive effect would be almost non-existent. However, neither Xia Youmi nor Valer were discouraged, as if the prey was not themselves but an unlucky guy stuck on the sea.

"Tick-"

It was so hot and humid that even Xia Youmi was dripping with sweat.

But the more this is the case, the less we dare to let our guard down.

Every year, one can see a terrible thunderstorm, accompanied by fierce winds, approaching from the direction from which ships are heading towards the island.

"Boom——"

"call out--"

What Xia Youmi could feel was the strong wind and the rain pouring down like water being poured from a bucket.

Even though they had extinguished the fire in the stone stove, they were still a little worried that the embers would be blown away from underneath and fly around, and then prove in the downpour whether the wind or the rain was more powerful.

The wind gives rise to raging fire, and the rain melts into the sea.

But it seems that thunderstorms and lightning want to prove that this is their home turf.

"Big brother! Come in!" Xia Youmi called out. The thunder almost overlapped with the lightning, occurring less than ten seconds apart. Xia Youmi had to time his calls carefully so that Waler could hear him.

"Big brother!"

"Boom!"

Xia Youmi shrank back, too frightened by the approaching thunder to shout.

But then she stopped talking.

The straw curtain was lifted from the outside, and a flash of white light from a bolt of lightning shone on the figure. The backlighting made the ferocious expression on Valer's face even more terrifying. Under the thunder, Xia Youmi buried her head in her arms to hide her expression.

The rainwater, along with his cloak, was left outside the shed, blown away without a care.

From Nian Nian's perspective, Valer even grinned.

Although the thunderstorm was much more intense than expected, the base was in chaos, and their veteran employees, including Shi Guo, were buried under unknown gravel and branches. Many trees had their beautiful branches trimmed, and some were broken in half.

But nothing on the island is as exciting as the boats floating on the sea.

People were panicking and screaming.

But they couldn't withstand the teetering between life and death.

Raiden, who originally preferred the trees on deserted islands, has found a more fun pole.

It gathers its strength and strikes fiercely.

"Haha." It seemed that screams could still be heard, and Valer could no longer suppress his laughter.

Xia Youmi understood what was happening outside.

But she could only look up in panic, helpless, bewildered, and sobbing.

One, or two hours, passed.

A crack was finally torn open in the darkness, and orange-red slowly squeezed in.

"boom!"

"Ah."
