Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

"Our station reports that typhoon 'Qiangmi' will land in Haikou tomorrow. The wind force can reach level 9, accompanied by heavy rainfall. Please take precautions, pay attention to travel safety, and don't go out at will."

In the cafeteria, the typhoon warning was played repeatedly on the TV.

"The typhoon is coming. This is a high-risk weather for the screech owl." Ding Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked uneasily at the gloomy sky outside.

Not to mention that strong winds will seriously affect the flying ability of birds. Even if adult birds have the courage to come out to look for food, the food they can find will be greatly reduced, and the possibility of starving the whole family is very high.

As an old fried dough stick who has studied in Hainan for three years, Shengcun naturally understood the severity of the typhoon and started to prepare food reserves early.

It was extremely hot tonight, and Sheng Cun walked through the humid air, feeling that his nasal cavity and feathers were filled with some kind of sticky liquid, and his body was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

However, the night when the rain is about to come is the time when insects love it most. They seem to know that they will be dormant in the shadows for a long time in the future, and they have emerged from hiding corners to start the last carnival.

Shengcun ran around all night, and the grain reserves were piled up in a small hill at the corner of the tree hole.He reckoned that if he lived frugally, he could feed his family for 3 days.

Generally speaking, the impact of the typhoon will gradually weaken after 3 days, and the food reserves should be quite sufficient.Sheng Cun felt relieved.

In order to prevent the three cubs from stealing food, he stood between the cubs and the food, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fell into a deep sleep.

Do birds dream too?

Anyway, when Sheng Cun found himself holding an umbrella and walking upright on the street, he realized that this was a dream.

But it's good to be able to relive the feeling of being a human being in a dream, so he didn't want to wake up.

The strong wind raged, the thin umbrella ribs were overturned, and the raindrops poured into the neckline.Shengcun had no choice but to hold his umbrella in front of him and struggle against the wind.

There was a screeching sound of brakes nearby, and he was struggling with the deformed umbrella, not paying attention to what was going on.Naturally, he didn't notice the scream mixed with the sound of the brakes, and the blood slowly spreading under the wheels.

Before he took two steps, there was a sound of something breaking above his head, and a few drops of water splashed on him in an abnormal direction.

Sheng Cun raised his head, and he only had time to see a tree trunk as thick as a person magnified in front of him.

"Pa-ta", the umbrella fell to the ground, like a kite with a broken string, being carried by the wind and drifting away...

Reliving the feeling of death in a dream is really not a good experience, Shengcun felt a chill in his body.He woke up suddenly and found that the sound of rain in the dream was continuing outside the cave.

The typhoon had already arrived, and the bird's nest had turned into a water curtain hole. The outside was completely dark like daytime, and the dense raindrops fell on the ground, splashing water.

He sighed, shook his feathers wet from the incoming rain, and spread his wings to protect the cubs under him.They haven't fully grown their feathers yet, and it would be bad if they caught a cold.

He prayed that the typhoon would pass quickly, and he wondered if he was feeling the scene, the dream made him feel very uneasy, and he always felt that something would happen on this typhoon.

The heavy rain continued until dark.

The cubs woke up and began to twitter and make noise, dispelling the cloud that hung over the tree hole.

Shengcun allocated tonight's portion from the food reserve to feed the cubs.

The cubs who were full began to play around, and Shengcun stood aside and looked at them lovingly.

He was surprised to find that the body of the 10-day-old chick was already half his own size, and the long johns developed the fastest. On the wings that were originally bare with only a thin layer of fluff, a row of brown "" The tip of the bamboo shoot", that is the flight feather that has not yet fully unfolded.

The range of movement of the long johns became smaller, for fear that the lantern and Daimao would peck its precious feathers.Whenever it has free time, it tilts its head to comb its newly grown feathers, and doesn't even care about the provocation of the lantern.

Not only long johns, but also the frequency of grooming lanterns and tamao has increased significantly. They seem to have entered the puberty of the scops owl overnight.

Sheng Cun said: When children grow up, it is understandable that they are ugly, but this group of half-children only eat and do not work, and the increased appetite is even more annoying.

He saw that half of the stock had been consumed in just one day, and the old father could only sigh.

However, Shengcun did not expect that the "benevolent" nature was reluctant to let him go out to look for food in the rain, because it directly came to the bottom of the pot.

The next morning, it was raining heavily and the wind was raging. The rain on the ground flowed into a stream. The trees on the roadside swayed with the wind, and it was difficult to maintain a standing posture.On the unobstructed beach, the coconut groves are so windy that they have all fallen down.

A silhouette of a small flying insect appeared at the entrance of the cave, struggling to fly into the only dry place, but after all, it couldn't beat the wind and disappeared into the rain.

Sheng Cun hugged the three cubs tightly and huddled in the deepest part of the tree hole.Four pairs of big eyes stared at the gray area outside, secretly thankful that he had a shelter to shelter from the wind and rain.

At the same time, in the male dormitory, several students were lying on the bed chatting.

"You know, I heard that a tree fell in the garden."

"So dangerous? I remember that just half a month ago, didn't someone from our school get killed by a big tree when he went out in a typhoon?"

"That's really unlucky enough. No wonder the school prohibits us from leaving the school when a typhoon blows."

"Speaking of which, do you know that there is a bird's nest over there in the parking lot?"

"Is it the nest that calls every night? I heard people from the Biology Association say that it seems to be called... Red Horned Owl, an owl that helps us eat cockroaches and mice."

"Don't they live in the tree hole next to the parking lot? Think about it, if a tree has a big hole, wouldn't it be very dangerous in this weather?"

"Don't be crowed, he is still alive and well."

The bedroom was filled with a cheerful air.

No one knew that 500 meters away, the big tree was already unbearable from the typhoon, and the first crack appeared on the semi-decayed trunk.

"Click, click, click."

In the tree hole, Sheng Cun heard a familiar voice, and it pricked up its ear feathers, remembering the voice in the dream.

Couldn't be so unlucky... He hugged the restless cub, and there was a momentary blank in his mind.

"Warning, warning, the big tree you live in is about to fall, please escape from the tree hole immediately!"

The system finally did a personnel matter and sounded an early warning in time.

But it can't be regarded as an early warning. When Sheng Cun came to his senses, his body had already slid forward uncontrollably.

No, this tipping direction will cause the hole to face downward, and it will be over if it is pressed!

With no time to hesitate, Shengcun dragged the three screaming cubs with his wings, and jumped into the overwhelming rain curtain first.

It's really a house leak and it rains all night!he thought desperately.

The author says:

The prototype of "Rose" is a super typhoon that will land in Hainan in May 2021.

Some explanations about the timeline: the typhoon that caused Sheng Cun’s death has passed when Sheng Cun crossed, and the timeline is a week after the death of the main body, so the students in this chapter said that Sheng Cun’s accident happened “half a month ago”.
