48 Hours a Day

Chapter 11: Desolate Island Survival (5)

Zhang Heng finally caught fire.

In this way, his recipe can no longer be confined to a single coconut, then Zhang Heng found some conch on the beach reef as Ed pointed out, and luckily found crabs and oysters.

Especially the latter, which is delicious, nutritious, rich in calcium iron phosphorus, as well as vitamin B2, has a reputation for milk in the sea, but unfortunately the calories are not very high, only about 70 calories each, which is certainly a good thing in the eyes of the food, but Zhang Heng prefers higher calories of food to provide the energy needed for physical activity on the desert islands.

He doesn't have to worry about the heat getting too high because he's been starving for a few days.

Good thing we should have a nice meal tonight.

Zhang Heng grabbed more than seventy small conch, six oysters and four resident crabs. Unfortunately, the latter were not big enough. Ed said that the resident crab could also be eaten, but the taste was average, but the two of them were not in the Michelin restaurant now, and the taste was already behind their heads.

Zhang Heng also saw some fish along the coast, but without tools, he could only watch them swim around freely.

In addition to the small water pits he discovered two days ago, Zhang Heng scooped the water out of the clam shell he had found, but then became troubled with the water burning tools.

The two are now on a deserted island, without even the most common bowls, and the clam shell is too insulated to boil even if it is mounted directly on a fire.

Ed thought about it and said, "Go find some rocks. Come on, don't put a lot of holes in them or a sheet of them. ”

Zhang Heng nodded. He found some stones as Ed had requested. It took him 20 minutes to burn them red. Then he stuck them in the clam shell with a branch. Soon, the water inside began to boil.

“There's not much water here, two pieces should do it.” Ed.

Ultimately, the water in the clam shell boiled for a minute, enough to kill most of the germs.

Zhang Heng wrote down these wild survival tips in silence.

Ed is a good teacher, although the injuries on his waist make him unable to move, but Zhang Heng benefited greatly from his extensive field survival knowledge, so even now he is responsible for collecting food and water for both of us, Zhang Heng has no complaints.

But Zhang Heng didn't want to rely on Ed all the time, he wanted to turn all the knowledge he had gained from Ed into his skills.

Not to get rid of Ed's troubles later, but actually thanks to each other's professionalism, Zhang Heng is willing to distribute half of the food as long as there is one more bite, but he always has a bad feeling in his heart.

He noticed Ed's face, which was worse than when he was rescued ashore on the first day.

This period of repair did not improve his back injury.

But even more deadly was the wound on his thigh, Zhang Heng simply bandaged him, stopped the blood, but then nothing could be done.

There are no antibiotics found anywhere in urban hospitals on this deserted island, and once the wound is infected it is likely to be fatal.

Zhang Heng believed that the former army captain knew this better than he did, yet Ed deliberately avoided the subject these days.

And that also seems to confirm the bad feeling in his mind from some side.

Zhang Heng had no choice but to take care of Ed as best he could. In the days that followed, the latter gave him how to make simple stoneware, clean his teeth with charcoal, collect rainwater, make ropes with bark, make simple rafts, use coral traps to fish...

Compared to when they first came to the island, the two of them had now passed the most dangerous period, and even had a little excess grain reserves. Zhang Heng hung the endless fish dry at the top of the cave, so that when they encountered incapable of going out to collect bad weather, they would no longer have to starve.

The situation seemed to be moving towards a good side, so that the 40-day survival pact did not appear to be an elusive goal.

Just when Zhang Heng came up with this idea, bad luck followed.

On the evening of the 16th day, Ed suddenly started to start high fever, and Zhang Heng had to draw his main energies to take care of the former army captain, so that he had less time to go out and collect food and water, and the search scope was greatly reduced, so that the portion of the food that had not been stored proactively before would allow the two people to face an immediate existential crisis.

What worries Zhang Heng even more is that Ed's situation hasn't improved for three days.

Zhang Heng untied the T-shirt on the latter's leg and found that the deep visible bone wound had completely infected and collapsed at this moment.

Since yesterday, the former army captain has been in a coma.

And the food in the cave was running out, and the two of them were about to run out of food.

As a result, on the night of the nineteenth day, Ed suddenly opened his eyes again to Zhang Hengdao, who was lying beside him half a dream and half awake, "Do you know what's most important to survive in the wild? It's an endless mindset. Never be content with what you accomplished yesterday. Live better every day. You have to find a way to conquer this nature. ”

“ ………… ”

Zhang Heng rubbed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Ed, that's not what you told me last time. ”

Yet there is no sound across the street.

Zhang Heng tried to put his finger under the man's nose and found that the latter was no longer breathing.

Zhang Heng was already mentally prepared for Ed's death, but he was still feeling a little sad when the current army captain really left. The two of them were not together for long, but he now has all these talents of living in the wilderness that Ed teaches.

The two are also friends.

Zhang Heng dug a pit in the forest not far from the cave and buried the latter's body. In order to prevent the destruction of the beast, he also cut several pointed wooden strips around him.

After all this, he dragged his hungry body to the beach to find some food to eat.

The good news is that it is half way past the target of the mission, and although he has recovered from being alone again, this time Zhang Hang is confident that he will survive on this deserted island.

Especially on the afternoon of the 20th day, Zhang Heng found a two-kilogram big fish in the coral trap, which means he can have another meal at night. When Zhang Heng thought his luck had finally passed, he suddenly received a long-overdue voice prompt in his ear.

[Alarm!!! Alarm!!! Target copy error! Time class is seriously wrong!

[Error reporting...]

[Secondary permissions open, approved, report cancelled...]

[Remove the error permanently from the decision sequence...]

[Mission target remains unchanged, return time corrected from 40 days to 520 days, please note the player!

Zhang Heng was blown up by this string of messages, and when he realized what had happened, his color suddenly changed and he looked at his right hand quickly.

There, the three pointers coincide just above the dial.

No way, Zhang Hengdazheng, he spent a lot of time learning the art of survival in the wild, and then he went through all sorts of things and forgot about the 24-degree starfish in his hand.

He couldn't get into that still world just a few nights ago, and he thought it didn't work in the game, and he didn't expect the latter to be too busy.

Zhang Heng reacted almost instantaneously. Where did these 520 days come from? After being magnified 480 times more than 00: 00 a day for 24 hours, he became an incredibly scary number in this world.
