Chapter 116 – Lighting a fire with a phone (1/2)

I found a similarly dry and hard wooden stick, and started drilling on a branch. I would stil stand it when we started, but after a while, even though my hand was starting to burn, the two still didn’t have a hint of flames at all.

“Let me try!” From the start, Chen Weier sat interestedly on the side, and watched me drill the stick like an ancient person. Seeing that I was tired, she asked to help.

I handed the stick to Chen Weier, raised my hand and looked, two large blisters have appeared on my hand. Who said you can start fire by drilling wood, isn’t that just tricking people? I wonder whether those people that write textbooks have tried it themselves or not.

Chen Weier didn’t even do as well as me, she started frowning very quickly.

“Never mind, starting a fire by drilling is most likely a lie,” I snatched over the stick still in Chen Weier’s hands, threw it on the side, then said furiously.

What other methods are there to start a fire? Magnifying glass, don’t have. Fire powder, don’t have. Electricity… oh yeah, electricity can be used to start a fire! I exclaimed excitedly and ran out of the cave, found my mobile phone still on the floor, picked it up, took out the battery, then ran back to the cave.

It looks like this mobile phone isn’t completely useless!

I took off the metal portion of the holder on the skill shoes, and bent it into an arc. Then I placed the mobile phone battery in the middle of a pile of sticks, and carefully placed the arc-shaped metal on the positive and negative end of the battery.

“Weier, run,” I pulled Weier, and ran towards the opposite side.

After a while, the smoke started rising from the battery, and with a “pa” sound, light flashed everywhere. The battery was on fire! The surrounding branches also started burning.

“Hurray!” I said happily. Then I ran over and used a stick to flip the branches, causing the flames to burn more furiously.

“Liu Lei, I really admire you now, you even managed to think of this method,” Chen Weier looked at that mobile phone battery with regret.

“Still calling me Liu Lei?” I smiled naughtily towards the beauty beside me.

“Hubby…” Under the illumination of the flames, Chen Weier’s cheeks was infinitely beautiful.

I ran outside the cave again to gather a pile of spare branches, luckily this sort of thing was everywhere on the lone island in winter. This was crucial, or else we’ll be fucked if the fire gets extinguished, there is only one battery for the mobile phone.

After doing all this, I took off my ski suit, and placed it near the fire, then said to Chen Weier, “Weier, take off your clothes too.”

Chen Weier also took off her ski suit, handed it to me and said, “But the clothes inside are also wet?”

“En, take off the clothes inside later after the jackets are dried, then we’ll hide inside the jackets,” I received the clothes Chen Weier handed me, and placed it beside the fire as well.

“Achoo!” Chen Weier suddenly sneezed.

“Weier, come sit over here, closer to the fire,” I immediately said. It would be terrible if she catches a cold. Even with my excellent body conditions, I am freezing, not to mention Chen Weier.

Due to me continuously adding wood to the fire, the fire was burning well, within a short while, our jackets have been dried. I first placed one of them on the ground not far away from the fire, then placed the other one on the top, and started to strip. When I strip till just my underwear, Chen Weier suddenly exclaimed, ‘What-what are you doing?”
