Surviving Endless Disasters

The taste is very delicious! The meat of mussels is very full and the taste itself is fresh and sweet. Because the meat contains a lot of seawater, the meat is not salty at all and has a light salty taste.

Mussels have a more common name, mussels, which are a common edible shellfish. Wen Zheng did not use any seasonings. He just grilled them in the most ordinary way, and the taste was enough to satisfy people.

Maybe it was because he had eaten fruits for two days, or maybe it was because of the long wait. Wen Zheng looked at these shellfish with shining eyes. His hands and mouth did not stop at all. He ate one after another. The hard shells were thrown around him and piled into a small pile.

After eating the roasted shellfish, Wen Zheng took the palm core and chewed it to quench his thirst. He was not going to eat the shellfish cooked in the pot. After being cooked, they can be preserved for a long time and can be used as reserve food.

After touching his unfilled stomach, Wen Zheng looked at the coconut crab again. He was no longer in the mood to continue making tools.

The time of waiting for delicious food is often the most difficult, especially when the fragrance gradually wafts out, the stimulation of the sense of smell intensifies this feeling.

Why is it not ripe yet? Under the starry sky, Wen Zheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva and turned the coconut crab over again.

Chapter 25 Delicious food and adequate sleep can bring people great satisfaction. In his dream, Wen Zheng was still savoring the taste of coconut crab.

After eating those shellfish last night, Wen Zheng patiently waited for the coconut crab to be cooked. When it was finally ready to eat, he was anxious to break it, but he couldn't do anything with the hard crab shell, so he had to use an axe to crack it open.

The moment the shell was broken, the originally light fragrance burst out instantly. Before tasting the taste of the meat, Wen Zheng was sure that the long wait was worth it.

The first thing Wen Zheng stared at was the two pairs of giant claws of the coconut crab. The connection had been split by the axe. He broke it hard with his hands and pulled it gently, and the white and tender crab meat was exposed to the air.

Pick it up with chopsticks and put it in your mouth. Chew it slowly with your teeth, and the freshness fills your entire mouth.

The sweetness of the crab meat itself blends perfectly with the light saltiness of the seawater. If you taste it carefully, you can also taste the fragrance of coconut, and you can't bear to swallow it.

Wen Zheng, who has eaten a lot of shellfish, can't help but gobble up the delicious coconut crab.

After finishing the two pairs of giant claws, Wen Zheng smashed the crab shell, and his saliva immediately secreted. His eyes could only see the yellow crab roe.

He gave up the chopsticks and directly picked up the huge coconut crab and sucked it hard. The semi-fluid crab roe flowed into his mouth, strongly impacting the taste buds.

Wen Zheng didn't react until he finished eating, and he was still savoring the lingering fragrance left on his lips and teeth.

The coconut crab weighed several kilograms. Wen Zheng ate all the edible parts, achieving the achievement of eating a lot on a deserted island.

He cleaned up the mess with satisfaction, and did not go back to sleep immediately, but continued to work.

Although he rested very late, the quality of sleep was excellent. When he woke up, Wen Zheng was energetic and refreshed.

He stretched and crawled out of the shelter.

It was just dawn, the sun was rising slowly, and seabirds were circling on the sea, looking for breakfast today, occasionally making crisp and melodious calls.

Before making a qualified trap, Wen Zheng was not going to bother with these seabirds, so as not to waste his energy and get nothing.

This was the third day of survival on the deserted island. Wen Zheng deeply carved scratches on the tree to welcome a new day.

He whispered to himself that there would be more gains today, and that he could survive better by facing every day with a positive attitude.

The fire in the earthen kang had not yet gone out. Wen Zheng added dead grass and leaves to it, fanned it gently with leaves, and waited until the flames became vigorous, then added fire-resistant branches to it, and then left with peace of mind.

Perhaps because of the encouragement of delicious food, Wen Zheng was very efficient last night, and the tree next to the shelter was full of his achievements.

The fiber on the surface of the coconut shell is very tough. When Wen Zheng split the old coconut shells for use as utensils, he took off the outer fibers.

Last night, he followed the method he saw on TV, holding a handful of fibers in his hand and tightening them, then rubbing them in his wide palms.

This rope made of coconut shell fiber is stronger than bark rope.

No matter what you want to do, you can't do without strong ropes, and of course the more you prepare, the better.

The two palm trees that were cut down for eating palm cores were dragged over, and Wen Zheng peeled off the outer bark and put them in the sun to dry.

The bark of the palm tree is waterproof, suitable for laying on the ground, and can also be draped over the body as a raincoat. Wen Zheng also plans to try to make two pairs of shoes in the future. I don't know how many days the pair on my feet can last.

In addition, Wen Zheng dug a big pit on Wang Zao's land nearby, and laid Wang Jing's stones at the bottom of the pit. The groundwater now penetrates the soil and then overflows the gravel.

After a night, the pit was filled with Wang Jing's clear water, and all the impurities settled at the bottom.

Wen Zheng gently scooped up the upper layer of water with a coconut shell, lowered his head and took a sip. It didn't taste salty and astringent like seawater at all. He nodded with satisfaction and put all the fresh water in the coconut shell.

Fresh water is lighter than seawater and will float on the seawater, thus separating the fresh water from the seawater.

Not only this puddle, but also the surroundings of the shelter were filled with coconut shells by Wen Zheng. He gently tapped the leaves covering the shelter, and the dew condensed on the leaves flowed down, most of which could flow into the coconut shell.

These fresh waters can fully meet Wen Zheng's needs for a day, so he doesn't need to be too frugal and use them lavishly.

Wash your face with fresh water first, don't worry about the salt grains on your face, chew the non-toxic palm leaves in your mouth, and then rinse your mouth.

There are not many good conditions here, Wen Zheng can only try his best to take care of himself. He can't survive a year and become a savage.

The coconut shells are heating fresh water, and the cooked shellfish that were not eaten last night were thrown into them by Wen Zheng. They kept rolling in the hot water and boiled a pot of fresh and sweet seafood soup.

The cool sea breeze blew, Wen Zheng drank the last mouthful of soup and sighed with satisfaction.

His plan today is to explore the bamboo forest that he didn't find last night.

However, before setting off, Wen Zheng concentrated the fresh water in several coconut shells and put them in the shelter. The whole camp was protected by palm vines.

The remaining coconut shells were all filled with sea water and placed in a place where they could be continuously exposed to the sun. This is the simplest way to dry out sea salt. Wen Zheng didn't hold much hope.

Salt is one of the essential condiments for humans. Only by taking a certain amount of salt every day can the human body be healthy. It is difficult to build a salt-drying pool on the seashore. Wen Zheng wants to try simple salt drying or salt boiling first, hoping to find a more convenient source of salt in the future.

He tied enough leaves and ropes on his body, holding a fire axe in his right hand, and holding a small tube rolled up with bark in his left hand.

The bark was tied tightly with ropes, and both ends were sealed with mud, leaving only a few small holes, and occasionally a wisp of black smoke came out.

There were leaves that were about to rot, and small pieces of charcoal dug out from the fire. Charcoal could not ignite the leaves that were about to rot, and the closed environment slowed down the burning of charcoal. This was a fire that he carried with him and could last for several hours.

Wen Zheng entered the coconut forest again with full equipment. This time he did not have the good luck of yesterday to meet the coconut crabs that fell from the sky, but he saw several caves, which were probably the nests where coconut crabs lived.

He made some marks on the coconut trees next to him, waiting to catch them later.

The coconut trees gradually became sparse. Wen Zheng recalled the scene he saw at that time, adjusted the direction of advance, gradually walked to the foot of the mountain, and continued to move forward along the mountainside.

Yesterday he saw plants that looked like bamboo on the reef, but the distance was too far to be determined.

Bamboo forests are extremely useful for surviving on deserted islands. Bamboo can be used to build safer and more comfortable houses, bamboo rafts floating on the sea, weapons and traps, bamboo tubes or bamboo mats. Bamboo shoots usually grow in bamboo forests, and you may even encounter bamboo rats.

So no matter how high the probability is, Wen Zheng is willing to make a trip, and he must not miss any possibility.
