Surviving Endless Disasters

In the next two days, Wen Zheng took his equipment to the forest again.

After being preyed on by animals and washed by the sea, the seafood that was swept up by the typhoon almost disappeared, and the beach returned to its usual clean state.

When the typhoon passed, many rocks were moved, branches were broken off, and even some trees with shallow roots were blown down, and various animals were injured by flying sand and rocks, broken branches and fallen trees.

Wen Zheng worked hard for two days to carry the wild taro and bamboo shoots with their roots exposed from the soil, the coconuts that fell under the trees, and several mint seedlings were brought back to the cave. Wang Chai filled the storage cave full, and the fence outside the cave was reinforced again.

As for animals, Wen Zheng brought back some bird eggs and bamboo rats. Although he encountered a group of wild boars in the mud pit, and one of the wild boars had its right hind leg injured, no wild boars left the team, and Wen Zheng had no chance to catch them.

Several python corpses were also found, but they had rotted a lot in two days, and were crawling with all kinds of insects. Wen Zheng avoided them directly when he saw them.

Early that morning, Wen Zheng finally opened the system store and bought a lot of marine garbage, waiting for the system to send it to him.

Chapter 42: Three days of survival on a deserted island, Wen Zheng obtained a lot of marine garbage made by humans.

Considering that the system did not explain the way to transport these garbage, Wen Zheng was afraid that these garbage would suddenly appear in front of him, or fall from the sky, so he did not stay in the cave, but came to the beach and selected the purchase button.

The next moment, the calm sea surface suddenly rippled, and a large whirlpool formed under Wen Zheng's gaze. Various garbage emerged from the whirlpool, and then was pushed to the coast by the waves, spread on the beach, and also swept up many marine creatures.

When Wen Zheng saw the whirlpool begin to form, he stepped back a few steps. This scene looked a bit uncomfortable, but he didn't expect it to come from the bottom of the sea. It turned out that these garbage were intercepted by the system on the bottom of the sea.

The beach that Wang Jing finally recovered was covered with garbage again. The most common ones were various plastic products, as well as wood, foam boards, glass bottles, cigarette butts, old fishing nets, etc. They were not only colorful, but also emitted an unpleasant smell, turning the beautiful beach into a garbage dump.

Every year, the environment of countless islands is destroyed by garbage created by humans. This island was originally spared, but now Wen Zheng personally brought these garbage, which feels a bit ironic.

Humans want to live better in nature, but they will also hurt nature.

Tuan Tuan, who followed with great interest, didn't like the smell. Wen Zheng asked him to go back to the cave to play. He wore a leaf mask on his face, carried a bamboo basket and walked to the garbage. He held a bamboo pole in his hand and kept searching for items that could be used.

The most common plastic products are plastic bags of various colors, some of which have black silt inside, which are the main spreaders of those unpleasant smells.

There are also plastic bottles of various sizes, and the intact ones are piled together by Wen Zheng. These bottles with lids can be used to store fresh water, and there are also several plastic boxes that can be used to hold things.

After finding a piece of plastic sheet, Wen Zheng was very surprised and opened it without any concern for dirt.

This folded plastic sheet has a large area. After shaking off the mud and sand trapped inside, you can see the wavy pattern on it. It is a square with a side length of about five or six meters.

This large and waterproof plastic sheet has too many uses. It is very good for making sails or clothes.

Next are various woods. Most of them are square boards that have been polished by humans. There are some fish scales on them. They are probably removed from some old fishing boats. There are some iron nails on these boards. These boards can be used to make several sturdy wooden boxes in the future.

The tattered fishing net is also likely to come from the fishing boat. There is a palm-sized hole in the center of this fishing net, but the rest of the place is not too worn. There are still many iron hooks on it.

The hole in the middle only needs to be repaired with a rope, and it will be a complete fishing net. Wen Zheng happily kept it. It will be much more convenient to eat fish in the future.

The remaining things were not easy to sort, so Wen Zheng went through all the garbage from beginning to end.

There were several rusty and crooked iron wires that were almost as long as his arms, and two pairs of slippers with a lot of mud stuck on them. Although one of them was for women, flip-flops had the lowest requirements for foot shape, and Wen Zheng gestured that his feet could fit in.

There were also many cans, which were made of aluminum or tinplate, and were all resources that could be put to no use.

Then, Wen Zheng found the most precious treasure among the garbage.

It was a glass bottle that was pressed under a plastic bag, because the plastic bag on it was cut by Wen Zheng, and the mud inside flowed onto the glass bottle.

After wiping off the mud on it and seeing what was inside clearly, Wen Zheng opened his eyes as wide as possible, full of shock and joy.

This was a drifting bottle, which contained not only slightly yellowed paper, but also a transparent waterproof bag containing things.

The drifting bottle appeared in the Age of Navigation, a way of communicating across the ocean, and the biggest feature of this method was unpredictability.

Columbus put the map of America in a bottle and threw it into the sea. It was not discovered by humans until three hundred years later.

And not every drifting bottle can drift to the beach. Some are swallowed by large marine fish, some are entangled by seaweed and sink to the bottom of the sea, and most of them drift non-stop on the sea.

Only lucky enough drift bottles can be picked up by humans, and today's drift bottle is a symbol of luck for Wen Zheng.

Before buying marine garbage, Wen Zheng hoped to find the most needed things in it, but when luck really came, he couldn't believe it.

This waterproof bag contains seeds. He recognized that it contained rice and barley, which were the crop seeds he dreamed of.

Pulling out the rubber stopper of the drift bottle, Wen Zheng carefully took out the note inside, which contained a line of childish Chinese fonts, saying: To Mr. Robinson on the desert island.

Seeing familiar fonts on the desert island really makes people feel at home. The mouth hidden in the leaf mask has long raised the brightest smile. Wen Zheng's eyebrows are full of unstoppable joy, and more of it is gratitude to the owner of this drift bottle.

I don't know who made this unique drift bottle after reading Robinson Crusoe.

In the book, the plants Robinson planted were rice and barley. Perhaps the owner of the drifting bottle did not expect that this drifting bottle could really reach the hands of "Robinson on the desert island". Wen Zheng wished him or her the same good luck.

Holding this precious drifting bottle in his hand, Wen Zheng could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He raised the bamboo pole in his hand and waved it twice, and even took off his mask and shouted to the sea twice. All the depression accumulated on the deserted island for so many days was swept away.

The precious rice found was put into a bamboo basket by Wen Zheng for good protection. The next search was more careful to ensure that nothing that could be used would not be missed.

Although no more precious things were found, Wen Zheng was very satisfied.

The waves that rolled these marine garbage ashore also rolled out some marine life. Staying in the smelly garbage dump, those fish and shrimps soon lost their vitality.

Wen Zheng saw a piece of red coral. The color was particularly beautiful. Even if it was not large in size, it would be great to take it back as a decoration to decorate the cave.

Today's harvest was beyond Wen Zheng's expectations. He even gave up his dissatisfaction with the system profiteers and moved some of the things used to clean Wang Jing back to the cave. It was already noon.

Wen Zheng was going to take a break and conduct a carpet search after lunch, not letting go of any possibility.

He walked to the coast of Wang Jing and used sea water to do a simple cleaning. After returning to the cave, Wen Zheng hugged the drift bottle and smiled foolishly. It was worthy of being a gift prepared for Robinson. The rice and barley inside were full and filled up most of the drift bottle. These seeds would be planted and wait for a good harvest. When he finished eating, the mission time would be over.
