If the lighter doesn't work, Su Fan will have to resort to making fire by rubbing sticks.
After the rain, there probably won't be any dry wood on the deserted island, making it incredibly difficult to start a fire by friction.
The moisture on the lighter evaporated quickly. Su Fan tried again, and the lighter could finally be used.
He immediately said to Bai Jiajia and Han Xinying, "Wait here for me. I'll go gather some firewood and come back to light a fire."
Su Fan's figure swiftly moved through the rain.
Bai Jiajia and Han Xinying were touched by what they saw.
After a while of traversing in the rain, Su Fan came back with a sizable amount of firewood, although he was drenched.
Upon returning, Su Fan started to make a fire.
With the lighter, it was easy to light a fire. Soon, Su Fan had started a bonfire.
The entrance to the pitch-dark cave was illuminated.
The cave was quite spacious and had ventilation on both sides.
This meant they could rest in the middle of the cave where the air flowed freely.
Soon, Su Fan led Han Xinying and Bai Jiajia into the cave and built another fire.
The three of them sat around the fire.
While sitting by the fire, Su Fan used his True Qi to help Han Xinying heal and dry her clothes.
Bai Jiajia, feeling a bit troubled, said, "We should be safe for now."
"But we don't know how my brother and Uncle Dongshan are doing."
"And I don't recognize this place at all."
"We don't have a satellite phone with us. Who knows how long it will take for my family to find us."
"We won't be stranded on this deserted island forever, will we?"
After Bai Jiajia finished speaking, Han Xinying nervously looked at Su Fan.
On this deserted island, she and Bai Jiajia were practically helpless.
Su Fan shook his head, "We won't be stranded. I can catch fish for you to eat."
"It's raining now, so we can collect some fresh water."
"Later, I'll check if there's any other freshwater on this island."
Then, he asked Bai Jiajia and Han Xinying, "Do you know how to turn seawater into freshwater?"
He hadn't researched this skill before and never thought he would need it.
Bai Jiajia and Han Xinying thought for a moment and said, "Through distillation."
Bai Jiajia added, "But we only know the theory, we've never done it."
Su Fan was unconcerned, "Knowing the theory is enough. I'll handle the rest."
It was clear the two ladies were not proficient with hands-on tasks.
After letting them sit by the fire, Su Fan left the cave to find something to collect freshwater.
Finding suitable containers for collecting freshwater on a deserted island wasn't easy.
Especially at night, when visibility was low.
But after walking on the island for a while, Su Fan saw the wreckage of a speedboat floating on the sea.
The speedboat was severely damaged, almost sunk by several rockets.
There were traces of Bai Dongshan's blood, but Bai Dongshan was not on the speedboat.
It was unknown whether he had been rescued or had perished in the vast sea.
Su Fan went into the water and dragged the speedboat onto the island.
The speedboat had a survival kit but no satellite phone.
Apart from the survival kit, there was nothing else.
Su Fan placed the wreckage of the speedboat in a conspicuous place.
If the Bai family's rescue team came by, they might notice it.
As he was dragging the wreckage onto the island, he saw a second survival kit floating on the sea.
These survival kits contained food and some survival tools, and even though they might not be useful, Su Fan decided to retrieve it.
