Time passes day by day...
The turtles fight mutant monsters around the island every day, and they continue to grow in the battles again and again.
Several big turtles were injured during hunting and were recuperating on the beach. When they saw Zhang Ming coming, they said "ah woo" as a greeting.
Today, they caught another giant octopus!
"Oh, this king octopus is very rare... Was it jointly caught? It's not bad." Zhang Ming was in a good mood as there was a king meal to eat.
Many turtles crawled over and opened their mouths to ask for credit.
Only the old white turtle lay alone on the side, looking at the coastline in the distant direction, with a melancholy look on his face.
Only when you are truly independent can you know how difficult it is to survive.
More and more powerful sea beasts are approaching this sea area, but during this period, Zhang Ming still did not choose to help.
It also knows that it cannot ask for help unless it is absolutely necessary.
They must grow on their own strength.
The old white turtle's kind eyes were focused on every turtle on the beach.
And Zhang Ming was helping them dissect this strange sea beast that didn't know whether it was a squid or an octopus.
The battle plan formulated by Lao Zhang for them echoed in its mind...
"First, when you encounter a powerful enemy, observe its capabilities from a distance. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
"Second, after confirming that its ability cannot cause a one-hit kill, then slowly engage in a war of attrition! Continuously consume its physical energy! Once its life is in danger, it will immediately turn into stone!"
"Third, wait until the opponent's physical energy is exhausted, then swarm them and kill them."
This is Zhang Ming's carefully planned combat plan based on the innate condition of "the turtle's attributes are mostly added to its defense power"!
The core is: consumption!
Not to mention, relying on this attrition tactic, we can really kill enemies who did not dare to approach in the past.
Looking at the giant turtles that were getting stronger and stronger and eating squid, Lao Bai's eyes became more and more kind, and his body swayed.
Another question comes to mind inexplicably: Why couldn't we come up with this battle plan before?
In a war of attrition, we turtles are not weak at all!
…
"Let me tell you, this big squid tastes great whether it is stir-fried, hot pot, or barbecued. But the taste when eaten raw is too bad, just like a ball of mud. Learning to use flames can reduce a lot of Disease." Zhang Ming was not polite, cut off an octopus tentacle, and grilled it on a charcoal fire.
The octopus claws actually have sharp structures like hooks. No wonder these turtles suffered some skin injuries during the fight.
After a meal of octopus meat, his eyes lit up: [Attribute +3].
A meal actually added 3 attributes, and the taste was not bad, so Zhang Ming kept an extra claw weighing more than 100 kilograms and planned to take it home and freeze it to eat slowly.
Immediately afterwards, an "octopus" icon appeared on the properties panel.
Acquiring new abilities can no longer arouse Zhang Ming's interest.
Most of the abilities were a bit useless, and he was not willing to spend attribute points to activate them.
Just a glance out of habit.
[Memory Library (inactive): Allows you to open the memory library and summarize and organize memories. In the library, you can easily search for the content you have seen. This ability requires 90 attribute points to activate. 】
"So expensive!" Zhang Ming's heart beat heavily.
It's been a long, long time since he encountered such an expensive super power.
Life is such a drama. When you look down on your acquired abilities, suddenly someone appears who looks pretty good.
The more complex the ability, the more attribute points it needs to consume.
But expensive and useful are two different things.
Most of the abilities cost around 10 attribute points. Small abilities like "Regeneration" and "Extraordinary Vision" are cheap and easy to use.
Lightning control requires 60 attributes. It is very powerful and is Zhang Ming's main combat power.
The Xuanwu Breathing Technique requires 96 attributes to activate, but for Lao Zhang, it is quite useless. His attributes increase by eating every day, which is much more than the Breathing Technique.
But breathing techniques are useful to all human beings, so it’s not a waste of time.
This "memory library" sounds interesting.
"Even if it's a useless ability, with 90 attribute points, I can still afford it. Let's give it a try when we go back."
After dinner, we helped the injured turtles disinfect their wounds.
The size of a giant turtle is as big as a house. Even if he deliberately saves, the medicine he got from the airplane survival kit is still consumed very quickly.
So Zhang Ming made some plant ash bandages, a simple and effective natural prop.
The old white turtle saw it in his eyes, remembered it in his heart, and whispered something to the tribesmen.
"Plant ash keeps the wound dry. The alkaline environment can also inhibit bacterial growth and reduce the risk of infection."
Zhang Ming explained the basic principles of plant ash, and he seemed to be teaching, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "We have to find a way to make wine."
"As long as alcohol is present, the chance of wound infection will continue to decrease."
"As for the production of antibiotics, it is almost impossible."
"But how to solve the problem of bacterial strains for brewing..."
He was troubled.
Not all yeasts are suitable for brewing wine.
If the strains of bacteria are mixed, you will end up with a poisonous soup.
All kinds of difficulties were in front of him. While Zhang Ming was troubled, he also felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment - he was guiding the Xuanwu clan step by step to become a civilization, although the whole process was a bit primitive.
"I also thought of a management plan for you, called the Gradient Plan. The dolls must be raised from an early age. The most critical time is when they grow. You need to reserve some flesh and blood of mutated creatures for the little turtles to eat, instead of just grabbing some babies when they are hungry. Fill your stomach with fish and shrimps.”
Just when Zhang Ming was talking and using his imagination, suddenly, he saw a sparkling thing that flashed towards him against the waves.
[Your letter. 】
Zhang Ming suddenly felt happy.
The bottle he had been waiting for for more than a year was finally back!
He hurriedly treated the turtle's wounds and ran away in a hurry.
Only Lao Bai shouted anxiously: "Ah woo!"
Have you finished introducing your gradient plan?
…
Zhang Ming bent down and picked up the tan drift bottle. When he opened it, he found that it was filled with small plastic bags and several pieces of white letter paper, which were densely written with small words.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ming found that his emotions were a little unstable.
Since he broke through the "human limit" and his mental value skyrocketed to over a thousand, he has rarely experienced mental instability.
But now, a small drift bottle reminded him of the past - the bustling human world.
