Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 14
As Chen Xuan moved deeper, the surrounding light gradually dimmed.

The direction and distance could not be distinguished in the sea. Looking around, there was a piece of light blue everywhere. He could only use the old method to dive all the way along the seaweed.

I don't know how long I have been swimming.

Some square black silhouettes slowly appeared in the distance.

Chen Xuan recognized that it was the top of the building.

Comparing with memory, those buildings look like commercial buildings near the TV tower.

This was something he hadn't seen before.

Obviously, he has reached a deeper place than where he picked the seaweed fruit last time.

And his heartbeat was still steady, and he didn't feel suffocated.

A look of doubt appeared on Chen Xuan's face.

Obviously, the depth last time was already his limit, but this time he still has enough strength to swim so far.

Why did my vital capacity and physical fitness suddenly increase?
Looks like a test needs to be done going back.

Staring at the outlines of the buildings in the distance, although it was basically confirmed that Dinghong was submerged in water, seeing it with his own eyes still made him feel sad.

He has been to those places. One of the top floors is a good place to watch movies, another is where they often meet with classmates, and the Internet cafe in the other is also a place they often visit.

These high-rise buildings that originally carried their laughter sank quietly to the bottom of the water, and the students who used to play together in the buildings did not know whether they were safe or not.

He doesn't have the ability to revisit the old place for the time being.You can't stay in the sea for a long time, and you should collect the seaweed as soon as possible.

Stopping being sad, Chen Xuan raised his head and looked at the nearby seaweed, making sure that it was long enough.

He set the nearest seaweed as the target, Chen Xuan swam to the seaweed, stretched out his palm, and began to use the flame jet module to melt the seaweed rhizome.

The good news is that although the seaweed is huge, its upper and lower rhizomes are almost the same thickness, so it doesn't take more time and fuel.

While working on his hands, Chen Xuan did not forget to look around cautiously.

Only the sound of bubbling and bubbling can be heard in my ears.

The four sides and the bottom are filled with boundless darkness and mystery, and only fragments of sunlight can be seen from above.

An invisible sense of oppression enveloped the whole body.

It feels as if at any moment something will appear from an unseen position.

In an ocean world full of unknowns, it's better to be careful.

A seaweed melted smoothly.

Hugging the seaweed that was just broken, Chen Xuan started to melt the second one without stopping.

This time he picked a bigger one, about 20 meters in length, with a rhizome as thick as half an adult's waist.

It takes more time for the oxygen stored in the lungs to last.

Get that done, and the stockpile of bioplastics will probably be enough for the time being.

Although the more resources the better, he couldn't stay on the sea forever, and the food reserves weren't enough for him to take all the seaweed away.

Um?Sounds like something?
Chen Xuan's ears perked up slightly, and he looked around.

In the next second, his vision suddenly froze.

A black silhouette of a building in the distance seemed to shake.

Chen Xuan's scalp tingled slightly.

Is it an illusion?

He didn't know if the high-pressure environment in the deep sea made him hallucinate.

Chen Xuan shook his head and looked again, his eyes were full of tension.

But this time, the black shadow actually started to move slowly.

Not a hallucination!

Looking at the black shadow slowly twisting like a hill in the distance, Chen Xuan's heart beat wildly.

He was sure it was a huge creature.

And it's not the tuna before, the speed of the tuna is much faster, and the size is not so huge.

At this moment, it is the wisest choice for him to stay away as soon as possible.

He instinctively wanted to float back to the surface.

But when he turned his head and looked at the half-melted seaweed rhizomes in front of him, Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, his eyes showing a trace of reluctance.

The seaweed is about to break, it would be a pity to leave now.

It seems that the black shadow has not found this place for the time being, and the direction of movement seems to be irregular.

Moreover, the black shadow was far away from him. With the current speed of the black shadow, if it had the intention of moving this way, he would have time to return to the surface of the water.

Even if the black shadow can speed up to catch up with him, relying on the flamethrower module, he should be able to gain a chance to escape.

Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, he decided to wait and see what happened.

He increased the intensity of the flame in his hand and accelerated the melting speed. At the same time, he tried to reduce the shaking of his body as much as possible, and his eyes were fixed on the huge black shadow in the distance.

Time passed by second by second, and the seaweed finally melted.

Chen Xuan quickly hugged the two seaweeds and dragged them upstream, turning his head while swimming, for fear of attracting the attention of the black shadow.

Fortunately, the shadow creature had no intention of moving towards him from the beginning to the end.

It seems that it is not interested in him, or maybe its movement is limited.

Anyway, this made Chen Xuan heave a sigh of relief.

Back on the raft, holding on to one end of the seaweed, Chen Xuan gasped heavily.

The scene just now was really scary.

Although he couldn't see the specific appearance of the shadow creature at all.

But there was an indescribable sense of oppression that suffocated him.

For the sake of safety, don't go underwater for the time being.

After slowly adjusting his breathing and calming down, Chen Xuan began to deal with the seaweed.

The seaweed collected this time is too long, and most of it is still soaked in the water. It looks like a fluffy green tail growing out of the raft.

Chen Xuan began to drag the seaweed onto the raft little by little, and at the same time carefully pulled the seaweed, he wanted to find the fruit of the seaweed.

Without "oil", it is really impossible to burn the "flame injection module".

And it cost him another 10 units of wood to melt the two pieces of seaweed just now.

Now he only has 20 units of wood left.

Fortunately, the harvest was good. Chen Xuan found a total of 12 seaweed fruits on the two seaweeds.

With relevant experience, Chen Xuan directly squeezed out the fruit oil and collected it without further research this time.

12 units of "oil" are credited.

Feel full.

Next, burn the algae.

Since the volume of seaweed this time was too large, the raft could not completely contain it, so Chen Xuan could only divide it into sections and then smelt them separately.

It took a long time for the flames to smelt most of the seaweed, providing him with 30 units of "bioplastics".

The remaining small part was left on purpose by him. Since he discovered that the dried seaweed has soft and comfortable properties, he has been thinking of using it to improve the comfort on the raft.

Even though the world has changed drastically, people still have to pursue the quality of life.

He was going to do a simple three-piece bed set.

He looked up again at the scorching sun.

Well, we need to build another pergola.

But before that...

Chen Xuan lowered his head and looked at his feet. The area of ​​the raft needs to be enlarged first, otherwise the space will be too tight.

He looked up at the sea again.

Since the vicinity of the TV tower was originally a downtown area, there are not many floating objects on the sea at the moment.

It's time to work again.

Chen Xuan wiped off his sweat and checked the fresh water collector again. During this time, some fresh water has accumulated in it through solar energy.

He who had just sprayed fire for a long time, now his mouth is parched.

Chen Xuan took some water into the instant noodle barrel, and drank it all in one gulp.

Cool!
start!
Chen Xuan deftly made a retractable rope, and quickly started the fishing and collection work on the sea surface.

Having had one experience, he can now say that practice makes perfect.

However, it seems that there is still a way to improve efficiency.

Chen Xuan was thoughtful.
