Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 18 Encountering the School of Fish Again
"Kunpeng" sailed all the way to the north, riding the wind and waves.

Today is another sunny, cloudless day.

The last voyage was the day before yesterday. At that time, the "Kunpeng" was just an empty small raft, but in just two days, the "Kunpeng" has achieved a major change. Not only has it become larger, but the above There are also many more things.

The day before yesterday, Chen Xuan had nothing, worried about food, struggling on the verge of life and death.

But today, he has a fresh water collector, 10 buckets of instant noodles, two coconut drinks, a beautiful and comfortable nest, and a wooden knife for self-defense.

There are also many more material resources in the panel.

The huge change made Chen Xuan sigh.

Half a day had passed since Chen Xuan's departure, and during this time, apart from the sea, there were only some scattered drifting objects left in his eyes.

He has seen a set of once precious mahogany furniture now scattered here and there, vaguely revealing the original splendor.

He also saw a very huge plaque floating in the distance with sporadic writing on it, which seemed to tell the story of its past glory.

He also saw the half of the huge conference table passing by the side of the raft, and the surface seemed to still be full of the solemnity of the original.

There are also some messy wooden products, weeds and leaves, silently paying homage to the prosperity of the past.

Other than that, there was no trace of a human being.

Neither the living nor the dead.

In his ears, there were only the slight sound of the waves, and the puffing sound of the sails being blown by the sea wind.

And his "Kunpeng" is now like a rootless duckweed floating along the current.

Most of the time, Chen Xuan was sitting on the raft and paddling desperately.

He wants to make sure he has something to do so that he won't be driven mad by the boring life.

Moreover, speeding up the voyage can also shorten this boring journey and reach the Times Building as soon as possible.

A few times on the way, the raft passed through some sea areas with a lot of marine debris. If the wind was not strong, Chen Xuan would put away the sails, slow down the sailing speed, and then stand up and throw out the grapple to collect some resources.

After several visits, he collected a total of 35 units of "wood" and 52 units of "plant fiber".

And sometimes, because he was thirsty, he would turn around and use the empty bucket of instant noodles to get some water from the fresh water collector behind him to drink.

The fresh water distilled and transformed by the sun can barely meet his daily life needs.

Occasionally, he would reach out to adjust the direction of the sail due to changes in the wind direction.He had to keep an eye on the weathervane to make sure the raft was always on the right course.

When he was tired, he would get into the pergola to rest. During this period, he also repaired the fishing net that was torn by tuna before, enlarged the area of ​​the fishing net, and wove a few more fishing nets to store items. A total of 30 units of plant fiber were consumed.

Chen Xuan originally wanted to make a wooden box or basket as a storage container.

But considering the strong wind and waves on the sea, the raft is easy to bump. If you make a box, it is easy to tip over, or even fall into the sea, and the current space of the raft is not very open.

In contrast, fishing nets can be easily fixed on the raft and are the most suitable container at the moment.

The sun is gradually rising.

At this moment, Chen Xuan has just finished eating instant noodles, which is his lunch.

Because the wind direction is favorable for the time being, he can take a rest in the pergola first, avoiding the scorching sun at noon.

Suddenly, there was a rattling sound in my ears.

Chen Xuan quickly climbed out of the arbor to see what happened outside.

I saw a school of fish playing in front of me.

This is the second time he has encountered a school of fish after he encountered a mysterious strange fish last time.

But this time the fish species are obviously different from last time.

The mysterious strange fish from last time has silvery white scales, and its body looks like the grass carp that it eats every day.

And this time, although the fish is similar to the mysterious fish in terms of body shape, it has strange light blue patterns on its body, which looks like water waves, and there are some black spots on the tail.

"With such a special appearance, it is probably a mutant species."

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.

The new species in front of him suddenly aroused his curiosity, and he wanted to get two fish up to have a look.

However, the mysterious strange fish and giant tuna last time had taught him a lesson. Most of these mutated fish have some special features, and he has to be careful whether these fish will suddenly attack him.

Chen Xuan lightly retracted the sail and slowed down the speed of the raft.Then he slowed down his breathing rhythm and at the same time lowered his breathing sound, squatted down and began to observe the school of fish at close range.

As if he felt that this was not stimulating enough for the fish, he made a small wooden stick and played with the fish from time to time.

After staring at it for a while, he confirmed that the fish had no intention of attacking before he started to act.

He set his target on a few small fish that were left alone. The advantage of this was that it would not take too much effort to pull them up, and then he threw out the fishing net.

The area of ​​the current fishing net is much larger than before, nearly doubled.

The fishing net landed gently on the designated position, and then sank slowly.

The fish has entered the net.

Chen Xuan held his breath, suppressed the mood to close the net immediately, and waited quietly for a while.

At the same time, he concentrated and sensed the situation of the underwater fishing net.

Nothing unusual happened.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he pulled the fishing net back with a sudden force.

The fish trapped in the fishing net seemed to sense something was wrong at the moment.

But it's too late, the fishing nets have blocked all their way out.

These little fish began to struggle hard, but they were no match for Chen Xuan, not to mention that his strength had increased by two or three times.

The fishing net was retrieved to the raft very smoothly.

At this moment, these fish are still struggling desperately on the board, trying to return to the sea, but they have no chance.

Looking at the harvest in front of him, Chen Xuan's face was filled with excitement.

He would have starved to death if the tuna hadn't unexpectedly appeared to take him to the TV tower after the last failed fishing attempt.

This time it was finally a shame.

Before the fish left the position of the raft, Chen Xuan hit the iron while the iron was hot, wrapped the harvested fish with other fishing nets and fixed them under the mast, and then started to lower the nets one after another.

But it is a pity that these fish seem to be very cunning. After discovering that their partners were caught, they quickly scattered and fled, diving into the deep sea and disappearing.

Including the fish he caught before, Chen Xuan finally harvested a total of 4 mutant fish, which were basically the same size, about as big as his two palms put together.

These fish were the first live creatures he caught.

It seems a pity to eat it directly.

"You can't waste it, you have to make good use of it."

The corner of Chen Xuan's mouth curled into an evil arc.
