Surviving Endless Disasters

Wen Zheng thought that such days would last until the end of a year, but he encountered a new accident, which even made him recover the memory of his original body.

The author has something to say: the content of pickled turtle eggs is completely fictional.

Chapter 56 After living on the deserted island for more than half a year, Wen Zheng has become accustomed to life here. Like those ancient people, he works from sunrise to sunset and rests at sunset. Every day, he studies how to make his life better and how to make delicious food with limited materials.

After coming to this world, Wen Zheng saw the task given by the system, which required him to survive on the deserted island for a year.

The novice world is to survive on the sea for seven days according to the task requirements, and then welcome the rescue personnel.

This time the task requires survival for a year, which naturally equates survival for a year with someone coming to rescue after a year.

In fact, Wen Zheng is not a person who just sits there and waits for death, but he does not have the memory of his original body, and he has not even figured out where he is, and he does not recognize any of the stars in the sky at night.

Having been here for such a long time, I have never seen the shadow of an airplane in the sky. Logically, there should be a flight route near the deserted island because of the plane crash.

Even if there is no sign of rescue by the outside world, Wen Zheng still considered whether the rescue team would be suspicious after a year.

So Wen Zheng used stones to make a huge SOS distress signal on the gravel mountain where the cave is located to minimize possible troubles.

In fact, Wen Zheng has many questions that he wants to know the answers to. What disaster has happened to this world? What is going on with this black box? There is no marine garbage on this deserted island. Is it really intercepted by the system? And there is such a large piece of land in front of the cave. Why can't many trees be planted?

Wen Zheng squatted on the grass outside the cave, and the saplings planted on the ground with doubts were all as high as his arms, but the leaves were gradually withering.

Not long after moving to the cave, Wen Zheng had doubts about the situation of this grassland full of grass but no trees.

There is no shortage of birds on this island. Sometimes, when it rains hard, there will be strong winds, and even typhoons passing by here, which can bring seeds of various plants to this grassland.

Perhaps some plants may not be suitable for this kind of saline-alkali land, but it is possible that all plants are not suitable.

Wen Zheng once picked up a few sprouted coconuts in the coconut forest and buried them in this grassland. However, the typhoon that followed blew away these coconuts that had not yet taken root. After the typhoon, Wen Zheng planted a few more.

At that time, Wen Zheng did not care about the growth of coconut seedlings. Occasionally passing by there, he left an impression in his mind that the coconut seedlings grew well.

But after a few months, Wen Zheng passed by there again and found that the coconut seedlings had withered.

Perhaps coconuts do not like this kind of soil. This was Wen Zheng's idea at the time, so he found seeds of various plants in the mountains and forests and planted them.

Some plants sprouted, some did not sprout, some of the sprouts grew very well, and some leaves were a little yellow, which looked really unsuitable for the soil.

But in the end, the herbs and a few shrubs survived successfully, but the saplings that had grown for several months began to wither silently. Wen Zheng couldn't even live in peace without understanding the reason why these trees died.

Seeing that the herbs were growing very well, the insects in the grass were jumping around without any mutation, and he and Tuantuan didn't feel any discomfort, Wen Zheng didn't think about the worst possibility.

Later, Wen Zheng suddenly thought that in his own world, he had heard of islands with only grass but no trees. That was because the islands had only a thin layer of soil, and the ground was hard stone. The roots of those trees couldn't go deep into the ground to absorb water, so no trees grew.

If you want to know if this is the reason for this piece of grass, just dig down and see.

Tuantuan didn't know where to go to play again, leaving only the left-behind old man Wen Zheng in the cave. Wen Zheng had just cut some branches on the mountain yesterday to supplement Wangchai, and didn't want to go out today.

He found a shovel made of ironwood and ordinary wood in the cave and came to the grass.

Following the roots of the withered plants, the soil was slowly dug out and piled up next to it. It didn't feel like they had been digging for long, but the shovel in his hand hit something hard as soon as it went down.

Wen Zheng moved the shovel. Judging from the hardness, it was probably as he thought, that there was rock under the thin soil layer.

Looking at the newly dug pit that hit the rock less than one meter deep, and then looking at the several reservoirs at the entrance of the cave that were at least one meter deep, Wen Zheng sighed.

Although there may be rocks under the soil layer, the thickness of the soil layer distributed in each place is different, and the soil in front of the cave should be thicker.

If there are rocks under this piece of grass where trees cannot grow, the possibility of the rocks and gravel mountains being connected is too great.

I don't know what kind of geological changes have formed the current terrain. Nature is so wonderful.

Although the shovel has hit hard rocks, it has not yet dug up the soil layer to see clearly what kind of rocks are underneath.

Wen Zheng was originally idle and had nothing to do. Just as the shovel was about to continue digging, he heard the footsteps of animals running not far away.

That sound... is it a wild boar? How did the wild boar run down from the mountain! Wen Zheng didn't care about the pit and the rocks. He dropped the shovel in his hand and ran towards the cave.

Wild boars have always been hated by farmers. Not only will they be attacked and injured when they encounter wild boars, but they will also run down from the mountain and destroy the fields.

If the wild boars have enough food and can find food, they generally won't run down from the mountain, so Wen Zheng has never worried that the wild boars will run here.

But some things just happen.

Wen Zheng gritted his teeth and heard the movement outside.

It wasn't just one wild boar running down from the mountain, but all the wild boars he often dealt with ran down. Wen Zheng felt black in front of his eyes.

He could deal with one wild boar. With his evolved physical fitness, he could barely resist three wild boars. But a group of them came directly, and there was a ferocious wild boar king in it. Tuantuan was not at home yet, so this battle was not easy to fight.

No, no, it's not wise to fight this group of wild boars with an axe. Wen Zheng tried to calm himself down and think about what he could use to deal with them.

There are so many wild boars that he can't beat them, so the only way is to scare them away.

The wild boars are getting closer and closer to the farmland. Wen Zheng felt particularly distressed when he thought that the barley and green rice that were about to be harvested would soon be eaten by the wild boars.

He was looking for ways to deal with the wild boars in his mind. Wild boars are not things that they are not afraid of. Wen Zheng looked in the cave, quickly dealt with them, and ran out of the cave in a hurry.

As soon as he ran out of the cave, he saw that the group of wild boars had reached the range of the farmland. This group of wild boars were used to eating grass seeds, snake meat, bird eggs, etc. in the mountains and forests. When they suddenly saw unfamiliar plants, they just tasted them casually and fell in love with the sweet rice and wheat seedlings.

The leader of the largest wild boar, even the whole boar, ran into the barley field, pressed a piece of barley that was about to mature under its body, and began to happily chew it.

This scene made Wen Zheng very angry, and he ran towards the farmland with his things.

The barley field and the rice field were next to each other, and the barley field blocked the front and protected the rice field inside.

Wen Zheng hurriedly ran to the edge of the rice field. There was a distance of two farmlands, and the smell of barley and rice seedlings blocked the way, so the wild boars had not yet noticed Wen Zheng's arrival.
