wasteland ranch

Chapter 3 Desert Night
A trace of refreshing and cool taste gradually spread in Lin Guiyao's mouth, with a strong coconut fragrance. What's more amazing is that the temperature of the coconut milk is very low, as if it had been chilled.

t~t~t~
Lin Guiyao burped in satisfaction.

Wiping his mouth, Lin Guiyao looked at the 22 coconuts outside the house that hadn't been dragged into the house. Lin Guiyao made some calculations. One coconut contains about two liters of water, and a normal person needs about 1000-3000 ml of water a day. That is,
He has up to 23 days left.

When Lin Guiyao was on the tree, he took advantage of the height of the tree to observe the distance. Except for the dust and desert, he did not find any traces of human existence.

In this high-temperature environment, blindly going out to explore is tantamount to seeking a dead end, and heavy coconuts are not a good accompanying supply. Even if you carry two coconuts on your back, it is estimated that he will not be able to keep walking within sight place.

If they encounter a few mutated scorpions, mutated snakes, mutated lizards and so on outside, there will be no dog chains to tie them up.

So Lin Guiyao immediately dismissed the idea of ​​going out for a stroll, he would not do things that would waste his energy in vain.

However, staying in this wooden house for 23 days seems to be a bit waiting to die.

This is so stupid!

Sitting cross-legged in the shadows in front of the house, Lin Guiyao used a knife to slowly peel off the coconut brown clothes that he drank dry, while sorting out his thoughts.

Wasteland world...

That is to say, due to nuclear pollution or certain natural disasters, the environment is seriously degraded, leading to social collapse, disorder, mutations, and a high barren world where supplies are scarce.

I just don’t know if it is the nuclear-polluted wasteland world such as “Radiation”, “Wasteland” or “Mad Max”, or the zombie series of “Resident Evil” and “Left [-] Survival”, or “Borderless Land” "The wasteland of fantasy science fiction.

Just from a mutant dog and a coconut tree, Lin Guiyao couldn't tell exactly what kind of wasteland he was in, but the danger was undeniable——

Breaking through the wasteland with a hoe is unreliable no matter how it sounds.

At present, it seems that the issue of world view can only be groped slowly. Lin Guiyao's eyebrows twitched again when he returned his thoughts to the system that came with time travel.

This three-no system with no novice guidance, no opening benefits, and no crazy, cool, and sky-shattering functions is truly unreliable!

At present, he has only found three functions: viewing plant attributes, selling, and domesticating plants, but this does not make any sense to improve his current situation.

The growth period of coconuts is too long, the price of domestication is too high, and he can't even sell them without meeting the shipping box conditions. Without a single G coin, naturally he can't domesticate them.

This seems to be a dead end.

But even if it was a dead end, it would be 23 days later. Lin Guiyao looked at the sun in the sky and estimated that it should be just after noon. He remembered that he still had an urgent problem to solve:

overnight!

Don't look at the temperature outside is so high that you can directly spread omelets, but at night, the cold may be mild-this is a desert!
A place with a huge temperature difference between day and night!
Looking around the wooden house again, although it is a little old, there are no gaps in the walls and roof, and the wooden door is also intact. Even if the floor keeps creaking, it is still in good condition.

As long as the insulation problem is solved, this is a good place to spend the night.

As for the method, Lin Guiyao looked at the things at hand and made up his mind.

After peeling off the brown clothes, the coconut that is only the size of a volleyball is pressed on the ground, and then the hoe is turned upside down and used as a hammer to knock a few times along the joints of the coconut shell. The coconut is split in half, revealing the white coconut shell Meat, a strong coconut fragrance permeates instantly.

With a twitch of his nose and a sip, Lin Guiyao's eyes lit up.

"The coconut meat is very thick and tastes... well, very sweet and soft to chew."

Lin Guiyao is very satisfied with the taste of coconut meat. There are a lot of protein, sugar, vitamins and minerals, and it is a very good source of food.

The combination of long growth cycle, difficult picking, and rich nutrition makes it possible for a wild tall coconut to sell for 50G, although he still doesn't know what that G coin looks like.

After eating and drinking, Lin Guiyao clapped his hands and used coconut leaves as a broom to clean up the dust in the wooden house, then picked up a coconut and continued peeling the brown clothes.

But time is imperceptible, as the last smear of the setting sun in the sky falls to the horizon, the cloudless sky begins to be covered with dots, and the residual heat on the ground that was scorched by the scorching sun is gradually carried away by the wind.

God, it's getting cold.

Lin Guiyao stood up and stretched, took back the coconut palm fiber peeled from the coconut from the outside, put it on his face and felt it, it was warm, and the moisture had already dried in the sun. Dispersed into a large group of fluffy fibers, exuding a faint fragrance of coconut.

It took Lin Guiyao all afternoon to peel 23 coconuts, and his fingers were red and swollen, but it was all worth it.

Throw the large group of dried coconut palms on the bed, and after a little tidying up, it will be a natural coconut palm bed.

Relying on the rich coconut palm fibers and the fan-like coconut leaves of the mutated coconut, Lin Guiyao can even knead a quilt.

As for the white wax, it has gradually softened since the coconut was peeled off. It should be some kind of strange characteristic, otherwise it would not be possible to attach to the coconut in a solid state under the hot sun.

In this regard, Lin Guiyao's policy is to accept it first, regardless of whether it is useful or not.

He kneaded the soft plasticine-like wax into a ball of wax and threw it under the bed.

It is never wrong to start off by picking up waste. He is not like the protagonist in some doomsday texts, who has no awareness of the garbage king at all.

After cleaning up, the night rose, and the shining starlight sprinkled on the ground. Lin Guiyao sat under the coconut tree, looked up at the sky silently, but for a long time, he couldn’t find the familiar Milky Way, neither the Polaris nor the Southern Cross constellation. even,
Not even the moon.

"It's not the earth anymore..."

Lin Guiyao sighed, it was only the first day, why did he miss that place that made him resent for a long time?

Looking at the vast and silent desert in the distance, black shadows were outlined by small sand dunes, stretching one after another, as if Lin Guiyao was the only one in the whole world.

"In short...survive!"

Swinging his fist vigorously, feeling that the temperature had dropped to eighty-nine degrees, Lin Guiyao returned to the wooden house, took out a dog chain as a door lock, and firmly tied the door bolt from the inside.

There was no light, no fire, and with the sound of the howling wind outside the house, Lin Guiyao slowly closed his eyes in the midst of all kinds of thoughts...
