Chapter 28 27. Carrots and Coconuts
Today is the No. 11 day, and there are three days before the island sinks. In one day today, from morning to night, Wang Qing collected a total of twelve liters of water, and exchanged for 120 wood in the trading area. Now I have a total of 643 wood on my body, because boiling water and grilling food also cost a lot of wood, so I will consume 15 wood every day.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that on the day when the island sinks, Wang Qing will not be able to collect all the wood he needs. It is not impossible to ask Da Zhuang or Lin Xia to borrow some wood first, but this will owe favors. It was not what Wang Qing wanted to see.
From the second day on, Wang Qing was burning distilled water every day. Except for the necessary hunting of rabbits, he stayed in the shelter for the rest of the time, either watching others bragging or farting, or reading posts on the forum. The post he posted was already on the home page, and it was viewed by many people, but only Lin Xia and Da Zhuang replied, because currently only these two have a sloop.
Wang Qing originally planned to catch a few live rabbits. When the island sank, he would not be cut off from meat. Although there are still sharks to hunt, it is better not to eat shark meat, because The texture and taste of shark meat is really hard to swallow.
But in the end he gave up his plan to keep rabbits in captivity, because it was too much energy and he had to collect grass as a resource, otherwise the rabbits would starve to death in the end before raising them for a few days.
In addition, Wang Qing has the equipment for burning distilled water, and he is not worried that he will end up eating shark meat because he can't find something to eat. He believes that many people have found other kinds of food on the island, and he can find a There are islands with rabbits growing, can't others?
What he also said was true. On the 12th day of No., Wang Qing, as usual, the first thing he did when he got up was to burn sea water, roast rabbit meat, and after a simple wash with a bottle of water, greeted him outside the shelter. After exercising with the sea breeze and the rising sun, he began to look at the forum.
In addition to his own post, many other posts have also been pushed up.
[I didn't expect to survive the catastrophe, but our family discovered Coconut Island! 】
【Early this morning, our family landed on an island with carrots growing all over it. It has been listed in the trading area, and you can trade it if you need it! 】
[Everyone be careful, the island is not so safe!With pictures! 】
Seeing this, Wang Qing originally said to go to the trading area to exchange some coconuts or carrots, but the post that this island is not safe caught Wang Qing's attention.
Clicking in, Wang Qing was so frightened that his scalp was numb. A huge black python occupied a third of the island, and those pair of emotionless red eyes stared straight at the person who was taking pictures. people.
Just one photo is enough to scare many people. There are a lot of comments below. Some say that they are now on an island with creatures, but they are all ordinary snakes, and some say that they are on their own island. There are many seabirds, but it is too difficult to hunt.
After reading this post, Wang Qing was terrified: "It seems that before going ashore, it is safer to go around the island first. If you encounter something terrible, you don't know it yet. When you want to escape It must be too late."
Then he clicked on the post he posted yesterday. He didn't expect a third person to reply so soon.
【08a】: Picture!
Above is a picture of a sloop under construction. It has been expanded on the basis of the original wooden boat, and more than half of it has been completed. It should be just a few days ago. It seems that everyone has worked very hard.
Wang Qing contacted Wang Dazhuang, and asked about the construction of the other party's sloop.
Wang Qing: "Da Zhuang, how is your sailing unit going?"
Wang Dazhuang: "It's very good. It should be completed tomorrow afternoon. There will be no problem in going to sea the day after tomorrow!"
The two chatted for a while, and then Wang Qing looked at the trading area. He was going to exchange distilled water for some food he needed now.
Item: [carrot *1+1 empty bottle] *10
Explanation: [Food that can satisfy the hunger, the taste is average, and it cannot be bred! 】
Price: 【500ml of water】*1
Remarks: [Slightly fruits and vegetables need to be bought quickly! 】
Item: [Coconut *1+2 Empty Bottle] *10
Description: [Sweet and delicious coconut juice, the pulp is also edible, not breeding! 】
Price: 【500ml of water】*2
Remarks: [You can eat and drink, what are you waiting for? 】
Wang Qing looked at these two commodities, and did not exchange them immediately, but because he had no water resources on him at all, and all the distilled water burned yesterday had been traded into wood. Can burn out the water source.
And since these two people can find such an island, there must be more and more people who can find food and water. Otherwise, billions of people are counting on Wang Qing, Lin Xia and Wang Dazhuang. If you sell water, you will die of thirst.
Sure enough, as Wang Qing expected, the two materials on the trading area began to decrease. Whenever carrots or coconuts were traded, new trading materials would continue to be put on the shelves. All the carrots and coconuts on the island have been traded.
An hour later, Wang Qing came back with two bottles of distilled water, and first exchanged for two carrots. As for the coconut, he was not in a hurry. He did not lack water, but it was just a different taste. Compared with carrots, there was still a certain gap .
In exchange for the carrots, Wang Qing was not in a hurry to enjoy them. Instead, he stored all the carrots and could eat them at any time. Anyway, there is no rush now.
As for the plan of exchanging water for wood, Wang Qing has now left it behind. Carrots are vitamin supplements. After staying at sea for more than ten days, it has been a long time since they have taken vitamins.
By the time he collected two bottles of water again, the carrots in the trading area had disappeared, presumably that person had already replaced all of them with water.
"It seems that after the heavy rain, everyone has plenty of water sources, but we don't have wooden barrels. No matter how much we collect, it is not as convenient as I collected." Wang Qing glanced at the trading area, and finally chose In exchange for a coconut came to try the taste.
I took out the coconut from the trade, which was about the size of a leather ball. The last time I drank coconut juice like this was when I was in college, I didn’t expect to drink coconut juice again under such circumstances.
Wang Qing took out the axe, and easily split a hole in the coconut. Without saying a word, he just held the coconut and drank it.
"Ah, so refreshing!" A sweet taste filled Wang Qing's mouth.
"I'll buy a few more for later use!" After trying the sweetness, Wang Qing decided to exchange all the distilled water he made today for coconuts, and store it for later when he gets hungry.
