Surviving Endless Disasters

Wen Zheng was overwhelmed by a series of events. He was still wondering when Tuantuan had so much strength. Then he saw Tuantuan flying in the sky seemed to have no strength left, and the whole bird fell directly to the ground.

At this time, all strength was thrown behind his mind. Worrying that he had the upper hand, Wen Zheng ran over at his fastest speed. When he got close, he knelt on the beach with his legs and picked up the bird lying on the ground with trembling hands.

Tuantuan lay in Wen Zheng's hands, moved weakly, and made a short cry, which made Wen Zheng feel relieved. He sat on the beach without any strength.

Holding Tuantuan in his arms, Wen Zheng's voice was a little trembling: "I was so scared. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Were you hurt by the turtle? Did you get hurt when you fell on the beach?" He asked a series of concerned questions, not expecting Tuantuan to answer. Wen Zheng checked Tuantuan from head to toe, making sure that there was no injury on his body. Only then did he calm down and noticed the smell of blood in the air. One meter away was the turtle that Tuantuan had targeted. It was no longer breathing.

Recalling the scenes that had just happened, Wen Zheng pinched Tuantuan's head. The bird's beak was still the same as usual. When he turned his body in another direction, the two claws did not change either, but there was still some turtle blood on them.

But Wen Zheng could clearly recall the process of the bird's beak and claws changing, and it was like a moving picture playing repeatedly in his mind. When he thought of the huge strength that could lift a turtle weighing hundreds of kilograms, Wen Zheng seriously asked Tuantuan: "Did your little universe explode just now?" The only answer he got was Tuantuan's blank eyes.

After the Saint Seiya explodes his Cosmo and defeats his opponent, he will return to normal. Tuan Tuan cannot beat the Saint Seiya, and this is the weak period after the explosion.

Wen Zheng looked at Tuan Tuan who was barely able to stand up after resting for a few minutes, and defined the changes in Tuan Tuan.

Even though he had experienced it himself and listened to Wen Zheng's guess, Tuan Tuan still had only a vague understanding of his ability.

Now he felt very hungry and wanted to eat the turtle right now.

But he had no strength, so Tuan Tuan could only use his cry and wings to remind Wen Zheng to pick up the turtle on the ground.

Wen Zheng touched Tuan Tuan's stomach and saw his urgent need for food. Under the ability of the Cosmo explosion, he added a note that it would cause energy consumption and require food to replenish.

Dropping the closely protected food from the air onto the stone is a common method used by birds, which is something that turtles may never imagine. Even if they weigh hundreds of kilograms, they cannot escape this fate.

This unfortunate turtle was in a very miserable state. Its entire abdomen was smashed on the stone. The shell below was broken, but the shell on its back was intact.

When Wen Zheng heard the noise outside, he took out an axe just in case, and now it came in handy.

The turtle was simply cut into pieces, and the internal organs were also buried underground. The broken shell of the abdomen was thrown on the spot, and the weight of the whole turtle was at least reduced by half.

Turning the shell upside down and putting the cut meat inside, Wen Zheng untied a rope from his waist and pulled the shell forward.

Holding the heavy Tuan Tuan in his left hand and holding the turtle shell with his right hand, Wen Zheng had not gone far when Tuan Tuan cried again.

"This turtle is enough for us to eat for several days. Do you still want to eat turtle eggs?" Wen Zheng was a little amused. In order to catch the turtle, he fell into a weak period, but before he could eat the turtle meat, he was thinking about the turtle eggs.

Wen Zheng didn't want to admit that Tuan Tuan's delicious attribute was not cultivated by him.

While Wen Zheng was observing the suddenly weak Tuantuan, the rest of the turtles had slowly crawled back from the beach into the sea, and soon disappeared from the sea surface, leaving only the turtle eggs buried under the sand.

Even if he caught a turtle, Tuantuan didn't want to miss the turtle eggs. When Wen Zheng walked to a sand pit where eggs were laid, Tuantuan called out to remind him. His body was still held by Wen Zheng's arms, but his head stretched down to see the situation on the ground.

There was no way to refuse Tuantuan's request. The beach was very flat, and those sand pits were buried by turtles. However, they buried the sand pits but did not cover up their own walking traces.

The group of turtles had just left not long ago, and the egg-laying site had not been destroyed. The beach was full of long turtle footprints. Obviously, the end of the footprints was the sand pit where eggs were laid.

Wen Zheng loosened the rope holding the carapace, walked to the sand pit and squatted down, and used his hands to push away the sand covering it. Tuantuan jumped down from Wen Zheng's arms, but he had no strength in his body to dig the pit himself, and all he could do was to urge Wen Zheng's actions from the side.

In a sand pit were eggs laid by a sea turtle. Even though Wen Zheng had some knowledge of sea turtle egg laying, he had already prepared himself mentally.

However, when he saw the scene in the sand pit, he couldn't help being shocked, and Tuantuan even cried out in surprise, his eyes were dazed.

In the sand pit, there were so many turtle eggs, so densely packed together that it was impossible to count them just by looking.

After Tuantuan had the experience of being courted, he curiously observed the lifestyles of other birds when he flew out to fight, and also saw unhatched bird eggs.

However, birds only have a few eggs in a nest, which can't be compared with the scene of sea turtle eggs.

Each nest of sea turtle eggs usually has more than a hundred, a few at least, and more than two hundred at most.

In stark contrast to the number of eggs laid is the pitiful survival rate of sea turtle eggs. Wen Zheng remembered that the survival rate of sea turtle eggs is about a few hundredths, or even one thousandth.

Unlike birds, which take good care of their eggs after laying them, sea turtles return to the sea after laying their eggs, leaving them to hatch naturally on the beach. They may encounter natural disasters such as natural high tides caused by rain, or they may be preyed upon by birds.

Whenever a baby turtle hatches from a hole and slowly crawls from the beach into the sea, it is a carnival for birds and a disaster for the baby turtles, and the beach becomes a dining table for birds.

It may also be the extremely low survival rate that allows sea turtles to lay more than a hundred eggs each time they lay eggs, thus ensuring that baby turtles can survive. This is also a kind of natural selection.

Thinking of the extremely low survival rate of sea turtles, and looking at the countless sea turtle eggs in the sand pit, Wen Zheng took one from it.

Sea turtle eggs are white and about the size of a ping-pong ball. It is hard to imagine that these small turtle eggs can grow into turtles of such a huge size in the future.

The outside is not as hard as eggs, but soft and elastic. I just don’t know how it tastes.

At Tuan Tuan's urging, Wen Zheng took out a few turtle eggs from the sand pit and put them in the back shell.

Before leaving, he reburied the sand pit with sand, hoping that the remaining turtle eggs could hatch successfully.

When he returned to the cave with a heavy harvest, the sky was already light, and a night had passed quietly.

Although he had only slept for two or three hours, he was awakened by Tuan Tuan because of the noise made by the turtle. Wen Zheng was now full of energy.

He put Tuan Tuan on the black box, hoping to help him recover as soon as possible, and then added clean water and food to two coconut shells respectively, and put them in front of Tuan Tuan, so that he could fill his stomach first.

Just like parents who take care of their sick children, they arrange the children first, and then do other things.

Looking at the turtle meat and turtle eggs, it must take a long time for the meat to be cooked. First, fill the shell pot with water, put the turtle eggs in it, and cover the bamboo pot. Wen Zheng was worried about how to cook the turtle meat.

In his world, turtles are protected animals.

At that time, I watched a documentary on turtles laying eggs on TV, but it didn't include how to eat turtle meat and turtle eggs, so Wen Zheng could only figure it out on his own.

Continuously gliding in the sea water, the meat on the four legs was fully exercised, and Wen Zheng could feel the firmness of the meat when cutting it.

After digging up the soil under the bacon rack, the four legs were processed in a simple oven.
