Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 23 Dead Fish

The sun is rising, and the morning light is faint.

Many sea fish corpses floated belly up on the sea surface, making this dawn look terrifying and lifeless.

Among these dead fish, apart from the mutated herring he had caught before, there were also many unidentifiable species.

Although these fish have different shapes and colors, and have beautiful patterns, but in today's scene, it adds a touch of weirdness.

A large number of fish carcasses gathered, causing the surrounding air to have a strong fishy smell, making people sick.

But strangely, there was no trace of fish blood flowing out.

Apparently the fish didn't die from some kind of physical damage.

He suddenly remembered the mysterious voice he heard last night.

A strong intuition told him that everything in front of him should be caused by that voice.

Although the voice had disappeared, looking at the strange scene in front of him at this moment, the feeling of horror quietly rose from Chen Xuan's heart again.

The experience of walking before the gate of hell last night came to mind again.

He couldn't help but gasped.

The unknown voice seemed to contain mysterious magic power, killing so many lives instantly in an incredible way.

how did you do that?
And most importantly, why is he okay?
Think back to the scene when the horrible pulling force suddenly disappeared.Chen Xuan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

What blocked that mortal injury and allowed him to survive?
Chen Xuan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The sun gradually rose and the light gradually became stronger.

At this time, he suddenly saw several deep cracks appearing on the raft under his feet for no apparent reason.

When did this come about?
There was a hint of surprise on Chen Xuan's face.

Because of the poor lighting last night, and the fact that he was in a dazed state at the time, he didn't notice these cracks until now.

Immediately he crouched down and began to examine the raft carefully for any other damage.

"It's strange, how could it have this damage, and it didn't hit anything."

The raft will not hurt itself.

unless……

In an instant, as if thinking of something, Chen Xuan quickly connected to the stream of consciousness and unfolded the system panel.

【Vehicle information】

Vehicle name: Kunpeng
Vehicle Type: Raft

Evaluation: The vehicle has launched a blessing effect, absorbing a fatal damage for you, and has suffered a certain degree of damage, please repair it in time.

Vehicle properties: Area 10㎡, moderately damaged in current state.

Special effect: Blessing (the vehicle can sometimes absorb fatal damage for you).

------

really.

"Did you protect me?"

Squatting down and stroking the cracks on the raft, Chen Xuan said softly.

Obviously, the blessing effect of the "Kunpeng" was activated in time, absorbing the fatal damage for him, so that he escaped the catastrophe, and the price was that the "Kunpeng" itself was damaged.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to repair.

Chen Xuan put away the sail, and started repairing the "Kunpeng" with the repair module.

The familiar milky white light reappeared and enveloped the raft.

Then, he stood up and looked at the countless sea fish corpses on the sea.

Although the sound was terrifying, it was also very destructive.

But right now, he's gone.

One big difference between seawater fish and freshwater fish is that dead seawater fish can still be eaten after being processed because seawater has a certain antiseptic effect.

Freshwater fish, however, quickly begin to rot and become unedible.

Now these many sea fish have become his treasure house.

It is true that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later!
Chen Xuan hastily put away his sails, ready to start his grand plan of Taobao.

I saw him look down and then look up again.

The problem is coming.

Now the raft is small, but there are many fish in the sea.

Chen Xuan quickly opened the system panel to check the current resources.

【Current resources】：
"Wood": 73 units.

"Plant fiber": 156 units.

"Bioplastic": 30 units.

"Oil": 9 units.

Very well, after a period of collection and consumption, the wood has once again met the conditions for expansion, and the remaining 20 units of wood are more than enough for raft repair and consumption.

Even if the area of ​​the raft is expanded again, all the fish cannot be taken away, but if there is more, do as much as possible.

Chen Xuan once again sent an upgrade command to the system to expand the size of the raft.

Another strong light quickly covered the raft.

At this moment, there are two kinds of light on the raft, one milky white, one bright white, one light and one bright, and the two rays of light merge into one, which makes the light emitted by the raft look very layered at this moment, as if it is the holy light behind the angel.

The raft now looks like a holy realm.

The repair and upgrade of the raft will take a while.

Chen Xuan planned to have breakfast first.

He who had to save money in the past has now become rich overnight.

How can I save money now?

You've been hungry all night, and you still don't want to let go?

Chen Xuan directly disposed of the three half-dead mutated herrings on the spot, ending their miserable fish life, then quickly greased the fish, lit a fire, grilled the fish, and started eating!
"belch--"

After the three fish were eaten like a storm, he took some fresh water from an empty instant noodle bucket and drank it. Chen Xuan hiccupped for a long time, and felt so good after eating for a long time.

Life, isn't this getting better.

After eating and drinking, Chen Xuan began to select sea fish.

After all, the space is limited, so we can only selectively pick a part from all sea fish.

Of course, they must pick those mutated sea fish.

However, Chen Xuan could only blindly guess which ones were mutated fish based on their appearance, and then throw them back on the raft.

After a long time of selection, Chen Xuan finally picked out more than 150 fish. This number of fish is the limit of the raft.

Although there are a lot of fish in this sea, there are mainly four types of fish that have mutated.

Besides the mutated herring, there are three other types.

A mutant species that looks like a sea bass is thicker than the mutant herring. It has the same lines as the mutant herring, except that the color of the lines is bright red, and its scales are also finer.

One type looks like a crucian carp, but it also has the same texture as the mutant herring. Its texture is dark green, and its body shape is much wider than the mutant herring.

There is also a kind of salmon that looks like salmon, which is the first time he has come into contact with the original ecological sea fish. The previous several are all mutated from freshwater fish and then survived in the ocean.

Compared with the previous fish, this suspected mutated salmon was twice the size and looked much more aggressive.

It has ferocious teeth. Chen Xuan stretched out his hand to touch it and felt it was very hard and sharp, as if shining with a metallic luster, and the fish eyes were also enlarged.

If he caught such a fish by himself, he would never be able to catch it.

Among the more than 150 fish, about 80 are mutant herring, there are about 30 mutant crucian carp and mutant bass each, and there are 8 salmon left.

These fish were all tested by Chen Xuan using the method used to test the mutant herring, and they were all confirmed to be edible.

Looking at the full fish wrapped in fishing nets on the raft, Chen Xuan felt very fulfilled and relieved.

Alas, happiness is sometimes so simple.

That much fish is enough for him to eat for a month.

But can dead fish be left at that time?

How to store it for a long time?

New problems have emerged.
