Raising an island tortoise in the apocalypse

Sparse applause came from Turtle's back, and his three brothers were all clapping for him vigorously.

Among them, the most enthusiastic one is of course the younger brother Cantaloupe, its huge turtle webs slapping the sea surface, making the younger brother dizzy.

Yi Wei struggled out of the monstrous waves, glanced at the shark carcass that had been photographed and sank to the bottom of the sea, and screamed in horror: "The shark has fallen! The shark has fallen!"

After a flurry of fuss, they went through a lot of hardships to drag the huge shark carcass weighing two tons onto the turtle shell.

Suddenly harvesting such a large lump of meat, the turtle-backed wandering team did not feel the joy of the harvest for a while, but began to frown worriedly about how to preserve the food.

With one experience, they were no longer afraid that sharks would be attracted by the smell of blood. Yi Wei sharpened a blunt knife on the rough turtle shell and handed it to Lei Hao who was weighing and groping on the shark carcass.

Lei Hao took the knife, and based on the structure of the shark he visually detected, he cut the huge fish one by one.

The blood and debris that came out of the shark after it was cut up stained the entire sea area red, and at the same time attracted all kinds of marine life. Small animals gradually began to settle around the cantaloupe.

It took Lei Hao a whole day to completely divide the shark, and Yi Wei took advantage of this gap to collect the sea salt left by the dried sea water on the vast turtle shell.

When Lei Hao neatly placed more than a ton of fresh fish meat on the cleaned turtle shell, Yi Wei also came to the side of the meat mountain with two buckets of white and rough sea salt.

Before night fell, they hastily marinated part of the fish with sea salt, and then, exhausted and smelling like fish, they went into the wooden house and fell asleep.

The next day, the golden sunlight hit the tortoise's shell and the temperature was slightly hot. Yi Wei and Lei Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and continued the unfinished work yesterday.

They cut unmarinated fish into thick slices the size of A4 paper, and neatly stacked them on the wide turtle shell. The green turtle shell is covered with a thick red carpet, which is really spectacular from a distance. .

After Yi Wei finished laying the last piece of tender fish, he straightened his sore waist to admire the red ocean. The sense of solidity brought by sufficient food fell firmly in his heart, but...

He turned his head and asked Lei Hao, who was busy boiling fish oil by the campfire: "You said before that you need to use some complete glasses to purify water?"

Lei Hao turned around and wiped off his sweat, licked his dry lips, and asked Yi Wei in surprise, "Do you know where there is glass?"

It is hard for Lei Hao not to be excited by this news. Although there is a surplus of food in their Xiaopo base, but there are only a dozen bottles of drinking water left, which is only enough for them to drink for a few more days.

Especially recently, they were exposed to the sun outside the turtle shell all day long, and the moisture in their bodies evaporated more violently. Every time Yi Wei and Lei Hao took a rest, they only dared to take a small sip of water to slightly soak the corners of their chapped lips.

They almost forgot when was the last time they had a good drink of water.

Lei Hao said excitedly with a hoarse voice due to lack of water: "If there is a large piece of glass, we can make a simple water purification device by ourselves, that is, put the tilted glass on a basin filled with seawater, and wait for the seawater to naturally cool down. The fresh water that condenses on the glass can be collected after evaporation, so that neither electricity nor materials are consumed, and drinking water resources are not worried.”

When Yi Wei heard the words, the wonderful feeling of the cool and sweet water passing through his throat automatically appeared in his mind. He swallowed, and looked back at the clear and calm sea: "When I was killing the shark yesterday, I vaguely saw the water below. There is a city, if you want to take a look at it when the light is good, you should be able to get a lot of useful things."

Lei Hao originally thought that he just found glass on the surface of the sea, and frowned when he heard this: "But your diving equipment can't support it..." He paused, and was even more pleasantly surprised: "You can breathe in water gone?"

Yi Wei curled his lips in boredom, it's really no fun to have a teammate who can detect everything...

Lei Hao didn't wait for him to answer, so he laughed foolishly, Pidian'er Pidian'er ran to find some long lengths of rope: "If you find something, tie them to the rope and just signal me to pull it up, save the trouble." You're swimming back and forth."

Yi Wei nodded, jumped into the sea after taking the end of the rope, and dived straight down.

The glare of the noon sun refracted in the blue sea became much softer, with illusory ripples appearing with the waves.The eardrums are sealed by the sea water, and everything in the deep sea is more quiet, only when the hands cut through the sea water will there be a slight sound.

The limbs of the cantaloupe resting on the sea swayed slightly, and many fish thrived among them. Even the original smooth and flat belly carapace now inhabits many small shellfish.

Cantaloupe is more and more like a lost island, attracting many creatures to live peacefully on it.

Yi Wei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his heart was filled with a great sense of pride and gratitude, he swam down to the abandoned world, his heart was still full of vitality above.

Even the midday sun can't pierce the thick seawater, and the further you go down, the more dim your vision becomes visible to the naked eye.

But it is still enough for Yi Wei to see the wreckage of those high-rise buildings, which are quietly sinking on the original land, and now in the depths of the sea.

It has been three or four days since the tsunami passed, and the debris and corpses have drifted away along the ocean current, leaving only the basic outline of a city on the seabed.

Yi Wei continued to sink until his feet touched the smooth road between the tall buildings.

He silently looked at the quiet and absurd scene in front of him. The bustling and bustling city was suddenly extinguished by the sea.

The city that has not been occupied by marine life is dead silent. There are no lively young men on the streets, no energetic aunts singing and dancing in the square, and no rampant takeaway boys on the road. Only the dark silhouettes in the depths of the sea are left It tells the original appearance of the city.

Yi Wei blinked, merging the unknowing tears with the same salty sea water.

He regained his composure, kicking and swinging his legs to shuttle between the collapsed buildings.

The spacious and bright streets before the tsunami are now in disarray. The familiar signs of various chain stores are scattered and suspended everywhere, and the neon lights can no longer be lit to attract the only customer.

Yi Wei struggled to make out the signboard of a convenience store from the dim ruins, pulled away the banner "Building a Civilized City" wrapped around the door of the store, and ducked into the half-collapsed store.

A lot of the goods in the store were washed away by the sea, but fortunately there was still a lot of drinking water left in the vat.

Yi Wei moved them out of the convenience store in boxes and barrels, tied them to a length of rope, and pulled them to signal Lei Hao to pull them up.

He tried his best to ignore the swollen and whitish corpses behind every glass window, and continued to grope for the next shop in silence.

The cantaloupe stayed above the city for almost five days.

After scavenging the city hastily in the past five days, Yi Wei suddenly stepped into the well-off Turtle Base and continued to float south with a good harvest.

Lei Hao used this short time to renovate and upgrade their house with new materials, and reserved an empty room as a warehouse for storing materials.

However, Lei Hao stopped what he was doing and looked back at Yi Wei who was silent in the sun with his hands behind his head, feeling a little worried.

Although Yi Wei didn't talk much before, he would still have a little convulsion from time to time so that people really couldn't figure out his character design. However, in the short few days of fishing for supplies, something was obviously wrong with him.

He grew more and more afraid of the dark.

It used to be that Yi Wei fell asleep soundly at night without the temptation of a mobile phone, but now, he would suddenly wake up in the dark, gasp for breath, and then quietly get up and go outside the house to huddle under the soft starlight.

At first Lei Hao thought it was another way of Yi Wei's convulsions, but when he gradually realized that Yi Wei didn't even want to set foot in the shadows, he became vigilant.

Lei Hao put down the board in his hand, gestured to Tiantian who was also worried, and walked to Yi Wei, he looked at Yi Wei who was staring at the sun without blinking: "In the city... what did you see?"

Yi Wei's body trembled slightly when he heard this, he struggled in silence for a long time, and finally let out a trembling breath: "...it's nothing, I'm just... very scared..."

He looked away and lowered his eyelids: "That city, I have been to before, is very beautiful, very prosperous, very...very lively, but overnight, just overnight, it became like that. ..”

At this moment, Tian Tian had already jumped onto Yi Wei's lap, lying on his waist and abdomen, her tail stroking and rubbing against his bare hands.

Yi Wei grinned stiffly with his mouth open, and combed and slid his fingers through the plentiful hair: "I was just thinking, should I do something...at least...at least to make this world come alive a little bit .”

Lei Hao sat down beside him, looked at the seabirds circling over the cantaloupe together with him, and put his broad palm on Yi Wei's trembling shoulder: "Yes, the cantaloupe is indeed a glimmer of hope, but it must not be everything. Hope, human beings are much stronger than you think, this disaster is unfortunate, but people will always find a way to live."

"Of course, such a unique cantaloupe will definitely make you feel uneasy, so my suggestion is, why not build a mobile base! Look, the cantaloupe is gradually completing a complete ecological chain, and we can wander through every corner of the world, Bring them life and more hope!"

Yi Wei watched the high-altitude seabird swoop down to grab the fish in the sea, flap its wings and stop on the edge of the turtle shell to enjoy it slowly. Slowly, his eyes became brighter and his heart became more and more excited, and he stood up abruptly. , Facing the wind and the sun, bowed his head and smiled heartily at Lei Hao: "Then call it, Wandering Base!"
