Zhang Heng finally got angry.
In this way, his recipes were no longer limited to a single coconut. Later, Zhang Heng followed Ed's instructions and found some conches on the rocks on the beach. He was also lucky enough to find crabs and oysters.
Especially the latter, it is delicious, nutritious, rich in calcium, iron, phosphorus, and vitamin B2. It is known as the milk of the sea. Unfortunately, it is not high in calories, only about 70 calories per piece. In the eyes of foodies, this Of course this is a good thing, but on a desert island Zhang Heng prefers high-calorie food to provide the energy needed for physical activity.
He doesn't have to worry about the high calories and getting out of shape, because he has already lost weight in the past few days.
Fortunately, I should be able to have a good meal tonight.
Zhang Heng caught more than 70 small conches, six oysters, and four hermit crabs. Unfortunately, the latter were not big. Ed said that the hermit crabs were also edible, but the taste was average, but the two of them were not in a Michelin restaurant now. When going to a restaurant, the taste and other things have long been forgotten.
Zhang Heng also saw some fish on the coast, but without tools, he could only watch them swimming around freely.
In addition, there were the few small puddles he found two days ago. Zhang Heng used the clam shells he picked up to scoop out water from them, but then he got into trouble with water-boiling tools.
The two of them are now on a deserted island. They don't even have the most common bowl. The clam shells are so insulating that it is difficult to boil them even if they are placed directly on the fire.
Ed thought for a while and said, "Let's find some rocks, not ones with lots of holes or layers on them."
Zhang Heng nodded. He found some stones according to Ed's request and spent 20 minutes to burn them red. Then he used branches to clamp them into the clam shells. It didn't take long for the water inside to start boiling. .
"There isn't much water here, so two pieces should be enough." Ed said.
In the end, the water in the clam shells lasted for a quarter of an hour, which is enough time to kill most of the germs.
Zhang Heng silently wrote down these survival tips in the wild.
Ed is a good teacher. Although his waist injury prevents him from moving, his rich knowledge of wilderness survival has benefited Zhang Heng a lot. Therefore, even though he is now responsible for collecting food and water sources for the two of them to survive, Zhang Heng No complaints either.
But Zhang Heng doesn't want to rely on Ed all the time. He hopes to turn the knowledge gained from Ed into his own skills.
It wasn't to get rid of Ed's trouble in the future. In fact, Zhang Heng was willing to share half of the food with Ed as long as he had a mouthful of food. However, there was always an ominous premonition in his heart.
He noticed that Ed's face looked worse than when he was rescued on the first day.
This period of training did not make his waist injury better.
However, what was even more fatal was the wound on his thigh. Zhang Heng gave him a simple bandage to stop the bleeding, but there was nothing he could do after that.
There are no antibiotics on this desert island that are widely available in city hospitals, and infection of wounds is likely to be fatal.
Zhang Heng believed that the former army captain knew this better than himself, but these days Ed was avoiding this topic intentionally or unintentionally.
And this seemed to confirm the bad premonition in his heart from a certain aspect.
Zhang Heng had no choice but to take good care of Ed. In the following days, the latter taught him how to make simple stone tools, use charcoal to clean teeth, collect rainwater, weave ropes from bark, and make Simple raft, fishing with coral traps...
Compared with when they first arrived on the island, the two of them have now gone through the most dangerous period, and even have some extra food. Zhang Heng smoked and dried the endless fish and hung it on the top of the cave, so that when he encountered helplessness The two of them no longer have to go hungry when the weather is bad when they go out to collect.
The situation seems to be developing for the better, so it seems that the 40-day survival agreement is not an unattainable goal.
Just when Zhang Heng had such an idea, bad luck also followed.
On the night of the 16th day, Ed suddenly started to have a high fever. Zhang Heng had to devote most of his energy to taking care of the former army captain. This reduced his time to go out to collect food and water, and the search area also expanded. Fortunately, the portion of food stored for a rainy day prevented the two of them from facing a survival crisis immediately.
What worries Zhang Heng even more is that Ed's condition has not improved for three days in a row.
Zhang Heng untied the T-shirt on the latter's leg and found that the bone-deep wound was now completely infected and festering.
The former army captain has been in a coma since yesterday.
And the food in the cave was exhausted bit by bit, and the two of them were almost running out of ammunition and food.
As a result, on the night of the nineteenth day, Ed suddenly opened his eyes again and said to Zhang Heng, who was lying aside half asleep and half awake, "Do you know what is most important in surviving in the wild? It is the mentality of never stopping, and never being satisfied with yesterday. What you have achieved, you have to live better every day, you have to find a way to conquer this piece of nature.”
"…………"
Zhang Heng rubbed his eyes and said with a wry smile, "Ed, that's not what you told me last time."
However, there was no sound from the other side.
Zhang Heng tried to put his finger under the man's nose and found that the man was no longer breathing.
Zhang Heng had already been mentally prepared for Ed's death, but he still felt a little sad when the former army captain really left. The two of them didn't get along for a long time, but the ability he now has to live in the wilderness was all thanks to Ed. Taught.
The two of them are both teachers and friends.
Zhang Heng dug a hole in the forest not far from the cave and buried the latter's body in it. In order to prevent wild beasts from destroying it, he also cut several pointed wooden strips and inserted them around it.
After doing all this, he dragged his hungry body to the beach to find some food to satisfy his hunger.
The good news is that half of the 40 days until the mission goal has passed. Although he is alone again, this time Zhang Heng is confident of surviving on this desert island.
Especially on the afternoon of the 20th day, Zhang Heng picked up a two-kilogram big fish in the coral trap, which meant that he could have a full meal again in the evening. Just when Zhang Heng thought that his bad luck had finally passed, he But suddenly a long-lost voice prompt was received in his ears.

? !
Zhang Heng was stunned by this series of messages. When he realized what happened, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly looked at his right hand.
There the three hands coincide exactly above the dial.
No, Zhang Heng was shocked. He had lived a very fulfilling life during this period. He had been learning survival skills in the wild. After that, he experienced various things and forgot about the 24-scale starfish on his hand.
In the first few nights after arriving, he failed to enter the static world. He thought that this thing didn't work in the game, but he didn't expect that the latter was busy holding back his ultimate move.
Zhang Heng realized almost instantly where these 520 days came from. After the extra 24 hours at 00:00 every day were magnified 480 times, it became an extremely terrifying number in this world.
