Doomsday Catastrophe

Chapter 489 Food Crisis

Yue Hengyi saw the movement in the forest in the distance, and asked quickly: "Brother Feng, is the mutated banyan tree here?"

Shen Feng looked down at the meteorite in his hand, nodded and said: "Probably so, let's go quickly, don't get entangled, let's talk about it after we run away!"

If it is a natural rainforest, the strangling of the vines is not so fast, it is based on a month. Now Shen Feng found that the growth rate of the vines and aerial roots in the forest is too fast, and most of them are mutated banyan trees who came to take revenge , also to snatch the meteorite, so Shen Feng chose to retreat.

"Are we leaving like this? What about those people in the tribe?" Yue Hengyi couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry about these gangsters. They don't steal things. They are also xenophobic. They don't know right from wrong. This is how it is in poor mountains and rivers. Life and death have nothing to do with us!" Shen Feng shrugged and said, and then went to the mangrove forest .

Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi put their boats in the mangrove forest when they went ashore. The reason why they are called mangrove forests is that many of the trees that grow in the beach have red sap, so they are called mangrove forests. Generally speaking, Animals such as crocodiles and crabs live in the mangroves.

When they came to the mangrove forest, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi were silent, because now the tide receded, the sailboat was stranded in the woods, part of the roots of the mangrove forest were on the ground, and the ground was full of mud, and the sailboat was quietly Stay on the slime.

"How could this be?" Yue Hengyi asked first.

"The tide is low, just wait. When the tide rises at night, the boat can move." Shen Feng shrugged helplessly. He also forgot about the tide problem. During the day, the tide has already receded. , Now it is impossible to go to sea immediately.

Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi simply lay on the deck, put on sunglasses, and waited for the tide to rise. As for the meteorite, Shen Feng put it in the cabin.

Yue Hengyi asked while fishing for crabs: "Brother Feng, people in Southeast Asia don't seem to communicate well. They always want to take advantage of us. What should we do if we meet aborigines in the future?"

Yue Hengyi's method of catching crabs is very simple. There are some salted fish on the boat, and a piece of salted fish meat is torn off and hung on the hook. You can catch crabs, but only for small crabs.

Shen Feng leaned on the deck under the shade of the trees, and said lazily: "I have nothing to do with the troublemakers. I just try not to communicate with them in the future. As for the people here, they are used to taking advantage, and they always think that tourists want Accommodate them, don't spoil them."

"Aren't you an otaku? How do you know so much about people in Southeast Asia?" Yue Hengyi asked.

Shen Feng shrugged and replied: "You don't understand this. I'm an otaku. My sister is not. She used to travel here with her friends, and she always told me that tour guides like to cheat money and trick tourists into buying things. Luxury goods or handicrafts, after that the tour guide can still get a commission from these shops.”

According to Shen Feng's temperament, if he can stay at home, he will stay at home. Who likes to run around, that is to say, Shen Feng has to go out often in troubled times. Households, in extreme cases, go out only to buy necessities of life.

But Shen Yu is obviously much more cheerful. She always likes to run around. Before graduation, she traveled to Southeast Asia with her good sisters. As a result, those who were not familiar with the place were cheated. According to her, when they got off the plane, they There are taxis who kill customers, and when they go shopping, they are taken by the guide to buy various handicrafts. There are even children selling flowers and conch shells. If you don’t buy them, you can’t do it. a street.

So, after returning home, Shen Yu told the family about this matter. Shen Feng's impression of the people here is that they are swindlers and love to take advantage of petty advantages. It seems that taking advantage of small things has already penetrated into their bones.

Yue Hengyi nodded and said, "Since everyone here is like this, then don't deal casually, lest you get taken advantage of."

The mangrove forest is still a long way from the volcano, but there is thick smoke rising from the direction of the volcano in the distance. Based on what we have seen before, it can be inferred that basically the tribe is most likely to be attacked by the mutated banyan tree. As for It's unclear how these people dealt with the fire, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi sat on the boat and pretended they didn't see it.

If there hadn’t been an incident of stealing meteorites today, Shen Feng might have helped solve the danger. After all, we are facing the mutated banyan tree, and we are all human beings, so we should help each other. The meteorite was obviously brought back by him, but it was forcibly stolen, and he refuted himself plausibly. This is obviously a gang of hooligans, why bother to help them?

Yue Hengyi couldn't bear it all the time. After all, he ate their fruits these two days, but he kept interrogating them. The reason why the mutated plants appeared now was probably because he snatched the meteorite, which was also a disaster he caused. It seems that his side is a little bit too much.

Ever since, after much deliberation, Yue Hengyi felt a little uneasy.

In the end, at dusk, the sea rose and the mangroves were submerged. Shen Feng lowered the sail and asked Yue Hengyi to untie the rope, and use his supernatural power to propel the boat towards the sea.

However, at this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the woods not far away. These people were in a mess, and they dragged their families. There were women holding their children and shouting constantly. The light at dusk was like blood. In general, it looks even more weird when it is illuminated in the woods.

"Two, save us, there are vines chasing us!" Amiz couldn't help shouting when he saw the sailboat that had left the mangrove.

For these aborigines, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi are their only hope, but they never imagined why suddenly there are mutated plants attacking their tribe, but there is no way to escape in the volcano, and the exit is blocked Therefore, after a bloody battle, only more than 200 people in the tribe escaped, and the rest were all captured by the vines.

Seeing someone calling for help, Yue Hengyi quickly asked, "Brother Feng, shall we help them?"

"Don't make trouble for yourself, how do you deal with these plants that are not afraid of fire? Save them for a while, what about later? Do they continue to beg us to help them find a new base? Did they ask us to protect them after finding the base? Then, Wait until a certain prophet continues to steal our things and continue to slander us?" Shen Feng asked directly.

Yue Hengyi couldn't answer, Shen Feng pointed to the golden sea in the distance, and said: "Steer the helm to the north for me, if you can't see it, you won't feel bad. In the last days, being weak is a sin. I can protect the weak. But only for those under my command!"

The implication is that Shen Feng chose to keep out of sight and out of mind. He knew that these people were facing the threat of death, but now he would not save them. Who let these people offend him first.

Yue Hengyi had no choice but to replace Shen Feng at the helm, and sailed quickly towards the north, taking advantage of leaving the mangrove forest now, if he rested overnight, he would have to stay because he was stranded the next morning. It's just that he couldn't bear it in his heart. A group of living people were about to be eaten by mutated plants, but he couldn't do anything.

At night, Shen Feng lit the stove on the boat and started grilling crabs. The plastic buckets were full of crabs that Yue Hengyi caught during the day. Grilled on a skewer, it quickly turned red. When it was cooked, the carapace was broken off, and the inside was full of white crab meat.

After Yue Hengyi lowered the anchor and fixed the boat, he also started to barbecue, but he seemed a little absent-minded.

Shen Feng tacitly did not mention the matter of the aborigines, and when he was full, he went to sleep in the cabin, while Yue Hengyi was lying on the deck, looking at the stars with the sea breeze, and murmured: "If you don't want to save yourself, what is this?" I did it, what happened to me? Where did my kindness go?"

After another half month of voyage, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi finally arrived in the Philippine Islands, which means that half of the sea voyage has been completed. Shen Feng is very happy and feels that in the next month, they will be able to reach Zhonghua. However, the luck of the two is over here. For the northern hemisphere, it is time for spring. The Pacific high pressure has gradually formed, and the southeast monsoon has begun to move northward.

The most intuitive manifestation in Southeast Asia is the coming of the rainy season. Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi face heavy rain every day. Even though there are many islands here, it is difficult to find the direction under the vast rain. They just rely on the compass to move. It's gone.

At the same time, Shen Feng found that the food on the boat was running out. The two big eaters ate and drank on the boat without knowing restraint. They consumed a lot of food every day. It is impossible for the son to fill his stomach. The supplies on the ship are in a hurry, so the two can only suspend the voyage and prepare to go ashore to find food.

"I looked at the map and passed a big volcano. This is probably Mindanao. The island is huge. To the west is Malaysia, and to the west is Zengmu Shoal, which is the southernmost tip of China." Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi stayed in the cabin She sheltered from the rain in the cabin, and there was a stove in the cabin. Shen Feng was talking about his location.

"Then let's go west? Go directly from the South China Sea to Zhonghua?" Yue Hengyi asked.

"Come on, the South China Sea is too big, and I got lost if I was not careful. Next, we will go north. After arriving in Luzon Island, we will cross the Bashi Strait, go to Baodao, and then pass through the strait to enter Fujian. If we are lucky, It will arrive in twenty days!" said Shen Feng.

Shen Feng doesn't want to take risks at all. After going to the South China Sea, he can only find supplies on the island, but the island is very small, and he will miss it if he is not careful. There is no navigation on the boat. If he gets lost, it will be all over. It's better to be safe , First arrive at Treasure Island, eat two catties of pineapples and then reach the mainland. This route will not encounter danger under normal circumstances.

"Gululu..." Yue Hengyi's stomach groaned in disappointment. Looking in his pocket, there was only a little bit of flour left, which was not enough to eat.

"Brother Feng, go ashore and find something to eat. If there is no food, there is no way to sail!" Yue Hengyi said hastily.

"Well, let's search separately, drag the boat ashore together with me, so as not to be stolen by others, and meet up on the boat after we find the food." Shen Feng also had no choice. I was so hungry that I didn't eat. There is no food in hand, and I have no confidence to speak. I will talk about other things when I am full.

Putting on their raincoats, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi got off the boat. First, they dragged the boat to the shore together. In this way, the boat was not in the water, and it was basically impossible for ordinary people to drive the boat away.

Shen Feng thought for a while and went north, while Yue Hengyi walked east. There were rainforests on both sides. After entering the rainforest, you could see many animals sheltering from the rain, including frogs, snakes, and even centipedes. Shen Feng wasn't sure whether these things could be eaten, although Hong Qigong often ate centipedes, but that was just a plot in it, and he still didn't dare to eat them himself.

"Hey, there's a fire. That means there's someone there?" Suddenly, Shen Feng saw a fire in the distance. Several people are eating at the table.

"Since we want to avoid dealing with each other, then we should stop communicating and go to the kitchen to have a look!" Shen Feng didn't intend to disturb this group of people, so he chose to go around to the kitchen to have a look.
