123. I Survive on a Deserted Island

Just as dawn broke, there were some noises in the camp.

Xu Santong and Ouyang packed their belongings, took their weapons and prepared to enter the forest.

"You were in danger yesterday, why don't we go in together today? There will be more people, and we can rely on each other when we encounter danger."

David had gotten up and jogged around the beach for a while to relax his muscles and tendons. Seeing Xu Santong and the others walking into the forest, he stopped them and said.

"You guys?"

Ouyang looked puzzled, and seeing Linda and Sedaman who were obviously ready in the other two tents, he also understood what David meant.

It seems that Gu Xihe and Gu Xixi's unusual contact with Yan Chu yesterday made the three contestants from the Western Federation feel a sense of crisis. They said they were worried about the dangers in the forest, but in fact they wanted to unite with them to gain an advantage in the competition.

Unfortunately, this is not a competition that considers comprehensive qualities. What you need to show in the program is the fun of the content broadcast in your live broadcast room and your ability to attract viewers. If it is just a Jedi competition program, the only survivor is the champion, and everything will be different.

But forming a team is not completely useless. Relying on the power of the team to capture stronger prey and perform more thrilling scenes is also a way to easily attract viewers.

And if the team cooperates well, it is also easy to share each other's popularity, because if you always appear together, it means that you can not only appear in your own live broadcast room, but also in other people's live broadcast rooms, which is an opportunity to increase exposure.

Therefore, Ouyang and Xu Santong thought about it and did not reject David's proposal, and chose to go into the forest with them.

The bonus of one million star coins is indeed a temptation, but you have to live to that time. Yesterday, they encountered two attacks in the forest. Three more teammates can at least ensure more resistance when the crisis comes.

The five people are ready to go. After taking their self-defense weapons, they opened the live broadcast room at the same time.

[Are Xu Santong and his team going to join forces with the Western Federation? I wonder what Yan Chu and Gu Changhe will do. Will they also join forces to form a team?]

[Uh, didn't Yan Chu teach them how to identify poisonous or non-toxic plants yesterday? I feel...]

[The above, this is a competition, which is actually quite understandable]

Although it is only a little before six in the morning in the Federation time, many Star Network viewers are already waiting on the live broadcast platform, waiting for the live broadcast to start.

Many of them are fans of the most popular Yan Chu and Gu Xihe. Since the live broadcast rooms of these two people are not open, they simply come to the rooms of the five contestants who have already started live broadcasts to join in the fun.

[This is a live broadcast competition outdoors. No one said that we can't form a team, and no one stipulated the number of people in a team. Yan Chu and Sheng Xiaoxing have formed a team. Besides, this forest is so dangerous, isn't it better to have more people?]

[That's right. According to me, why do we need to form groups? It's safer to stay together. Usually in horror movies, walking apart is a sign of death. I think the contestants are all idiots. I support you.]

[I support you.]

The Douxiong live broadcast room has once again become lively. These days, the news on the Star Network has been almost flooded with this new planet that contains countless precious extinct species. Yan Chu and others who were accidentally stranded on the deserted island are catching up with the red stars of the Federation. Almost all the keywords searched on the Internet now are them.

The traffic of Douxiong has increased from more than 30 billion at the beginning of the live broadcast to more than 160 billion now. It has only been one day.

Half an hour after the five people entered the forest, Yan Chu finally got up.

The first thing Yan Chu did when he got up was to see how his distilled water was.

Before going to bed last night, he used some glass bottles left in the spaceship to make several simple distillation devices.

Pour some seawater into an empty bottle, the amount is about the level that no seawater will pour out after placing it horizontally, use mud to make a few basins big enough to fit the bottle, put yellow sand in them, then put the bottle flat in the mud basin with yellow sand, pour seawater, wet the sand with seawater, and slightly above the sand surface.

The same is done on the other side, but the bottle placed on that side is empty.

The mouths of the two bottles correspond to each other, and a fire is lit under the mud basin containing the bottle of seawater. When the seawater boils, the water vapor will flow to the other bottle and condense into drinkable water droplets.

Before going to bed last night, Yan Chu used almost all the empty bottles. When he got up in the morning to check, the water in each bottle was not much, but it could barely be half a bottle of drinking water when added together.

[666, last night I was still wondering what Yan Chu was doing with all this, now it seems my IQ is almost the same as that of the Cadiya Basin, I have a low IQ]

[My Yan is so handsome, the challenges before were too easy, so he never showed his true level, now stranded on a desert island, finally let us see what a serious outdoor explorer looks like]

The barrage of praises, Yan Chu cut the yam into pieces, poured the distilled water into the pot, poured in a few pieces that were also cut into pieces, and then added sliced ​​ginger and a few leaves with a green onion flavor. After the chicken was boiled, the chicken was taken out and rinsed with cold water.

Then pour the yam into a clean pot and stir-fry. Before frying, he brushed the bottom of the soup pot with the cut chicken butt. There was not much oil, but it was better than nothing.

After the taro changed color, he poured the chicken into the pot, put ginger slices and green onion leaves, and used the only remaining bottle of beer instead of cooking wine. He didn't pour much because the beer was supposed to be for nine people.

Without sugar, Yan Chu used the juice of a fruit that was sweet and had no strange taste, and then sprinkled salt and some pepper powder.

Finally, add water and let the food in the pot slowly stew.

Yan Chu thought that maybe he had to find more seasonings when he went into the mountains today.

Then, while the others were still asleep and the taro chicken was not cooked, he put his distillation device back on, so that when he came back from the forest, he could harvest half a bottle of clean water that could be drunk directly.

Sheng Xiaoxing and others were awakened by the aroma of taro stewed chicken, got up from their sleeping bags neatly, rubbed their faces, chewed a few leaves to freshen their breath, and sat in a row waiting for Yan Chu to share the food.

There was not enough drinking water, not to mention the luxury of washing face and brushing teeth. Gu Xihe and Yan Chu had agreed that the food they brought would be handled by Yan Chu in the future, so the brother and sister did not feel embarrassed to sit next to Yan Chu and wait for food.

"It's so delicious."

Sheng Xiaoxing put a piece of chicken in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his teeth chewed faster.

The chicken was stewed very well, even the bones were stewed crispy, the saltiness was moderate, although some necessary seasonings were missing, but it was still excellent enough, because the juice was used instead of sugar, there was an inexplicable faint fruity fragrance.

The taro was also stewed, and the tongue could be opened with a light sip, salty and fragrant. At this time, a mouthful of the soup with all the essences was almost like soaring.

[Actually, I think it’s totally unreliable for Xiaoxing to say how delicious it is. She is just a brainless fan, so I suggest you pack a copy and send it to me. I am a food critic and I can definitely make an intuitive and fair judgment on Yan Chu’s cooking skills]

[Ahhhh, what are those ingredients? I have the chicken, but I can’t buy the stuff called Putian and ginger]

[Does Yan Chu need saliva? I have saved a bucket and can send it to him anytime]

It’s not just Yan Chu and Sheng Xiaoxing’s fans who are drooling. Gu Xixi’s fans claim to be the clear stream in the live broadcast industry and consider themselves the calmest star chasers. However, from yesterday’s slate-roasted snake meat to today’s Putian stewed chicken, they can’t help but control their mouths. While watching the Star Network, they have to eat something to quench their thirst.

[I didn't believe how good Yan Chu's cooking skills were, but look at Xiaoxi's eyes. I swear with my 24k titanium alloy dog ​​eyes that her eyes were curved by 0.7 to 1.3 arcs when she was eating the stewed chicken with sweet potatoes, and her chewing speed was 1.3 to 1.5 times faster than when she was live streaming before.]

This is a carnival for data geeks.

[That's not necessarily true. In the past, Xiaoxi and Dahe used to do live broadcasts together. Maybe it's not that Yan Chu's cooking skills are too good, but that Dahe's cooking skills are too bad. After all, he is an expert at catching prey and is famous for always being able to burn the food.]

[Impossible. Gu Xixi was once my direct senior sister. She was like this when she was in the school cafeteria. Whether she was eating a single-order stir-fry or nutritional supplements at the window, she always had the same expression. The taste of our school cafeteria is still good. Yan Chu's cooking skills are at least better than those of the master chef.]

The audience had a heated discussion about Yan Chu's cooking skills. The most popular one was that they hoped that Yan Chu could open a restaurant when he returned to the Federation, using these ingredients that they had never seen before, and they would definitely support him.

"Nonsense."

In the Federal Central Laboratory, a group of old professors gathered in the laboratory and yawned and said while watching the live broadcast.

This is a senior talent reserved for the Department of Plants. Is it reasonable to let him open a restaurant?

However, his cooking skills do look pretty good. I wonder if as a teacher, if he is accepted as an apprentice, can he enjoy his filial piety.

The old professors looked serious, but they swallowed their saliva in their hearts.

"Shall we go this way today?"

Yan Chu patrolled the edge of the forest, pointed to a certain direction and said to Sheng Xiaoxing.

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely protect you well today."

Sheng Xiaoxing nodded repeatedly. Today she wanted to catch two chickens, no, three chickens. Anyway, she must make Yan Chu feel that she is a more reliable companion than Gu Xixi and Gu Xihe.

[The direction pointed by Yan Chu is the direction that Xu Santong and his team went more than an hour ago, right? ]

The audience who stayed in Xu Santong's live broadcast room for a while because they didn't start live broadcast said in confusion.

[Not necessarily, I think the leaves of these trees are the same]

Some viewers also thought that they might have seen it wrong.

Gu Xixi looked at the location pointed by Yan Chu, walked forward a few steps, saw the unique mark x of Xu Santong's team on a tree, and looked at Yan Chu.

"We are also planning to go this direction today. Why don't we go together? Xu Santong and his friends encountered a python in the forest yesterday. Maybe it would be safer if we have more people."

After Gu Xixi finished speaking, Gu Xihe nodded in agreement.

"Your hand is still injured. If you are in danger, we can protect you."

Gu Xihe thought that this was an excellent chef. If something happened to him, wouldn't he and his sister have to rely on his poor cooking skills to fill their stomachs?

Sheng Xiaoxing pursed her lips, wanting to say that she was also very capable, but reason told her that it was the safest choice to go with Gu Xihe and the others, so she did not refuse.

The four people, to be precise, Yan Chu and Gu Xixi, had the same purpose and formed a temporary alliance, and walked towards the road that Xu Santong and the others had left.

The road was made by people. Because no one had ever stepped into this forest before, it was full of thorns and bushes. If you want to move forward, you need to use sticks or machetes to open the way.

Therefore, in the direction of the way forward, several people can rely on the marks they left, and can also identify the direction of the shrubs and the chopping marks of some branches.

Xu Santong and the others obviously left much earlier than them, and it was not easy to find them in a short time. Along this direction, Yan Chu looked for some usable plants along the way, and walked quite easily.

[Xu Santong and his live broadcast room was closed again, and this time, David and the other three's live broadcast room was also closed. What's going on? Are they destined to have signal shielding? 】

Many viewers in other rooms had to rush into Yan Chu's room again because the live broadcast was turned off.

[Xu Santong and Ou Yang again... Didn't they really turn off the live broadcast ball themselves...]

[I don't know, but I really want to say that the direction Yan Chu and his team are heading now is the direction Xu Santong and his team passed by at the beginning. Did you see that tree? It looks like a wavy line. Just now in Xu Santong's room, we laughed at this tree for being a relatively skinny tree]

[Ah, really? Could it be that Yan Chu and his team will also walk to the area that may also block the live broadcast signal in a while? Wouldn't all nine players be blocked? How long will it take to recover this time?]

[When they participated in the competition, Dou Xiong should not have cancelled the function of their optical brain connecting to the network. Now no one can be contacted, otherwise they can be notified to let them change direction quickly and stay away from the place where the signal is blocked.]

The audience in the live broadcast were all worried about the possibility that Yan Chu and his team might also encounter the interruption of the live broadcast, and they couldn't help but complain about Xu Santong and Ou Yang's bad luck. How could the two people encounter the place on the island that can block the signal?

[Restored, Xu Santong's live broadcast room has been restored, but the signal is very bad, the video quality is messed up, and the screen goes black again from time to time. I don't know how long it can last like this]

[Are they separated again? ]

The netizen who left the message only mentioned Xu Santong, and the others wondered if they were attacked by some animal and separated again.

[Not all five people are together, but the live broadcast rooms of the other four are still black]

This is a bit strange. Normally, since they are all together, it doesn't make sense that one person's live broadcast ball can connect to the signal, but the other four can't.

[Desperate, Yan Chu and the others are getting closer and closer to the place where Xu Santong and the others' signal just ended]

[Ah, snake! Python! ]

[Go to Xu Santong's room quickly, the five of them are being targeted by two giant pythons]

[Fuck, so scary, Xu Santong said yesterday that they encountered giant pythons but none of us saw them, but this time they were filmed directly in the live broadcast room, and there was one more. It must be that they had been thinking about Xu Santong and his friends yesterday, and this time they went back to find helpers]

The number of people in the room of Yan Chu and others, who were originally very active, suddenly dropped by half, and they all ran to Xu Santong's live broadcast room.

There has never been such a hot spot since the show started. Many viewers can't help but increase their adrenaline when they hear the word "giant python", and they feel thrilling and excited, and at the same time they are worried about Xu Santong and his friends.

As described by netizens before, the picture in Xu Santong's live broadcast room is very unstable, appearing and disappearing from time to time, probably because Xu Santong and his friends are tired of escaping, and the plants in the environment they are in are too dense, and the movement of the live broadcast ball is often disturbed.

The screen broadcasts Xu Santong and his friends' desperate running for a while, and then the screen goes black. When the picture is restored again, the python that appears on the screen is chasing the five people relentlessly.

Yellow eyes with vertical pupils, sharp fangs, mouth wide open, tongue dripping with saliva, huge body, belly rubbing against the coarse ground, tail occasionally swinging over some branches and trunks, bringing down a large number of small trees.

The power is so great that it makes people shudder. No wonder Xu Santong and others didn't even have the courage to face the two giant pythons, and turned around and ran away.

[They seem to be running back. After a distance, they will run into Yan Chu and others]

[Those two snakes are too long. How many small animals must they have eaten? It feels that even if all nine people gather together, they may not be the opponents of those two pythons]

The audience can't care about watching the excitement. If it doesn't go well, they will have to live broadcast and witness nine contestants buried in the belly of the python today. Especially the timid girls, they are sweating with fear and dare not watch the live broadcast.

"Did you hear any sound?"

Yan Chu picked a few star anise and stopped to ask Gu Xihe.

He is a martial artist, so he should have better hearing than them.

"It seems like there is some sound, but it's a bit far away."

Gu Xihe asked them not to talk or move, and focused on hearing.

"Could it be Xu Santong and the others?"

Gu Xixi frowned, and ran towards the direction of the marks without thinking.

The remaining three people saw her move and naturally followed her immediately.

"Don't come over, run quickly."

Only seven or eight minutes away, they saw Xu Santong and others from a distance, but the python hadn't appeared yet.

Xu Santong knew that with the strength of the nine of them, they would never be able to deal with the two pythons. The only way to save them now was to get rid of them and escape from their sight.

Snakes are not dogs. They mainly rely on sensing heat to hunt. As long as the distance is increased, they may be saved.

Therefore, Xu Santong didn't really hope that Yan Chu and the others would come. At most, it would make the heat source bigger, or add more food to the python.

"Help, come and save us."

Others had completely different reactions. They all thought that there would be more people, or that they would be saved.

It was earlier than Yan Chu imagined. It was only the second day.

After almost two shouts, the heads of the two pythons finally appeared in Yan Chu's sight.

[Have you noticed, also in this area, why the live broadcast rooms of Yan Chu and the four of them are still showing normally? Does anyone remember where Xu Santong and his others' live broadcast was disconnected before?]

[Is it time to consider these details now? Those are two giant pythons. Why don’t Yan Chu and the others run away? I’m almost dying for him.]

At this moment, all the viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the Star Network almost held their breath, fearing that blood would be splashed in front of the screen in the next second.

I don't know if the pythons were tired of playing the game of big snakes chasing small people or something else. Finally, they chose to exert their strength and crawled faster, getting closer and closer to the five people in front.

Ouyang's eyes were dull for a moment, and then he hooked his legs in a vague way, tripping up Linda who was keeping about the same speed as him. Linda, who was already a little weak from running for her life for a long time, Unprepared, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

At this time, the python was only about 20 meters away from her, and the fishy smell caused by the snake's mouth opening and closing made people dizzy.

This action was very covert. Only Xu Santong's live ball in the five-person team was running normally. This scene was not captured in the picture. People who were busy escaping had no intention of focusing on the last two people.

Including Linda, she thought she was tripped by a stone or a branch. She thought about getting up quickly and running away. But the fall she had just caused sprained her ankle and she was unable to stand up again.

The python was getting closer and closer to her. Linda gave up and held her head in her hands, hoping that her death would not be too painful.

"Linda."

Ouyang glanced sadly at Linda, who was lagging behind because of the fall, but when he looked at the python so close, he gritted his teeth and concentrated on running forward. At this time, his own survival was the most important thing.

At this time, Yan Chu also ran into them, and their live broadcast captured the entire scene.

[There is nothing we can do, those are two pythons, it is reasonable for Ouyang to choose to retreat]

[Hey, Linda is also a teammate of David and Saidaman after all, but these two people were running at the front just now. Ouyang hesitated for a while. This is human nature, but it is very uncomfortable. 】

No one blamed Ouyang's behavior of escaping. In a critical moment, this is a normal human reaction. It was a python, not another beast, and it might have the ability to fight.

Yan Chu glanced at the surrounding terrain, barely had time to think, took out his utility knife and rushed over.

He already knew what species these two pythons were based on the animal encyclopedia. The encyclopedia said that this type of python is large and powerful, but has a fatal flaw, which is its slow movement.

Moreover, the two snakes in front of them are still full pythons, which means that their flexibility will be less than usual.

Yan Chu didn't have time to think about why the python was still hunting when it was full. All he had to do now was to rescue people.

"Hold."

Gu Xihe originally planned to run away with his sister, but Yan Chu, a man who had always been a pretty boy in his mind and relied on his face to make ends meet, actually rushed over with a knife. He couldn't help but swore a curse word, telling his sister to get out of the way. From a distance, he also rushed over with his own weapon.
