Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 48 Countdown to Nightfall

To be able to get out of this cage-like place, for the mutated jellyfish in front of it, it is naturally a thousand or ten thousand willing.

Immediately, Chen Xuan started to make a big splash, and continued to dig around along the glass curtain wall that he had destroyed before.

But in order to prevent this stupid big guy from being found later, he told it to stay where it is and not to move around until he comes back.

Soon, Chen Xuan opened up a huge gap, enough to allow the mutated jellyfish to enter and exit.

He turned around and grabbed the big guy and told it it was ready to go out.

Then one person and one jellyfish swam out of the building together.

At first, the jellyfish didn't dare to stay too far away from Chen Xuan because they didn't adapt well to the outside environment.

Chen Xuan still had to grab one of its tentacles and take it for a simple swim around.

But over time, the jellyfish began to adapt to the outside world.

The situation is reversed.

The mutated jellyfish may have never seen the sea since it was born, or it may be because it is the first time it has come into contact with the post-apocalyptic ocean.

In short, this big guy is very curious about everything now, excitedly driving Chen Xuan to fly around.

Before the end of the world, creatures like jellyfish should not be good at swimming, and often have to use wind, waves and water currents to move.

They generally squeeze the inner cavity by shrinking the shell, change the volume of the inner cavity, spray out the water in the cavity, and move by means of water jet propulsion.

But now, the stupid big guy in front of Chen Xuan can jump far away every time he sprays water.

It’s okay if the speed remains the same, but the jellyfish’s movement is intermittent, basically a rapid sprint, then a stop, then another shot to accelerate, and repeat.

The result of this is that even though Chen Xuan's physique has strengthened, he is still tossed about by the big guys.

Stop and go along the way, following the traces of jellyfish drifting.

But it's not without its benefits.

Because of the biological thruster of jellyfish, Chen Xuan can direct it to take him around the nearby sea to collect some resources.

Although most of the nearby resources have been collected by the previous survivors, there are still some bits and pieces left.

And there are more in the distance.

A little adds up to a lot, and the harvest is barely enough.

However, once during the period, the jellyfish wanted to go deep into the sea, but was instantly stopped by Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was not polite, and aimed at its big head like a big chestnut.

Please, I'm not a sea creature.

Just because you can go, doesn't mean I can too.

But the big guy's reaction was a bit silly, and I don't know if it understood.

It's just that Chen Xuan feels that it is still full of curiosity about the deep sea.

Time passed by, and before he knew it, Chen Xuan's eyes were filled with glow.

Evening has come.

Unexpectedly, I spent an afternoon with the jellyfish.

Although I haven't done much, it's good to relax like this once in a while.

Playing in the sea with the big guys, Chen Xuan himself felt much better.

In addition, in the afternoon, he basically swept away the hundreds of meters of sea around him.

This is a total of 33 units of wood and 56 units of plant fiber collected.

Although there were still many floating objects on the sea farther away, in order to prevent getting lost, Chen Xuan did not dare to go too far from the building.

This is also done to keep an eye on the situation of the "Kunpeng" and prevent any mistakes.

But it's almost time to go back.

But there is one more problem.

What should this big guy do?
Do you want it to go back with you?

To be honest, Chen Xuan has been wandering alone at sea for nearly a week.

Suddenly there is a guy who can talk. Although it is difficult to communicate, he is also very happy.

So at this moment, he had the idea of ​​wanting to keep this jellyfish by his side.

So Chen Xuan asked the mutated jellyfish.

"Big guy, would you like to follow me from now on?"

I don't know if it can understand.

Seeing that the jellyfish did not respond, Chen Xuan let go of the mutated jellyfish's tentacles.

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel that this big guy should have left after he let go.

Maybe it's heading to the deep sea that it misses so much.

It's time to part now.

After all, jellyfish, as marine creatures, belong to the sea after all, and they themselves belong to the earth.

He released him by himself, but he didn't have the right to tie him to his side.

Although there was some reluctance in his heart, Chen Xuan still understood this truth.

Shaking his head and sighing softly, he turned around and swam towards the building.

But I have to mention that, fortunately, when we parted from the mutated jellyfish, we were only 200 meters away from the building.

If it is too far away, Chen Xuan will be exhausted when he travels back.

Back in the top building, Chen Xuan checked the "Kunpeng" carefully.

The advanced bright yellow light still shows no sign of weakening.

But the "Kunpeng" has partially deformed.

The current "Kunpeng" is much smaller than before, only about two-thirds of its original size.

But at the same time, the entire hull nearly doubled in height.

The original "Kunpeng" was just a raft, which looked like a layer of big planks.

Now it has become a lot more three-dimensional.

It's just that the "Kunpeng" at this time is surrounded by bright yellow light, he can only see the outline roughly, and he can't see it in detail.

Looking at the sunset that was gradually falling in the distance, Chen Xuan felt a little uneasy.

Can "Kunpeng" complete the advancement process before nightfall?
There was some drumming in his heart.

Just in case, he could only make some simple preparations first.

He sharpened the arrow further.

A large amount of plant fiber was used to convert a huge linen cloth, which was covered on the luminous "Kunpeng".

But this effect cannot be said to be particularly good.

Although Chen Xuan added a few more sheets of linen, it still couldn't completely block the light, or it should be said that the effect was minimal.

The penetrating power of advanced light is unscientific.

It seems that trying to hide the light by masking is not feasible.

What's more, he couldn't handle the underwater part.

And looking at the "Kunpeng" that was tightly wrapped.

Chen Xuan's mind was wide open.

Will this cause the "Kunpeng" to fail to advance because it is too airtight?
But regardless of whether this is possible or not, safety is more important.

After doing all this, Chen Xuan was still a little uneasy.

But he has nothing more to do.

He could only practice archery desperately.

The sun gradually moved down and finally sank completely into the water.

As night fell, several black shadows flitted past in the distance, making piercing screams.

And Chen Xuan's "Kunpeng" seemed to be the brightest lighthouse at this moment.

Chen Xuan's heart sank.

The thing that worried him all the time before might finally happen.
