Chapter 341: Why haven’t the expedition team come to rescue me yet?
Suddenly a trace of sleepiness arose in my mind, and I always felt that I was still on the sea, accepting the long-term bumps and welcoming the storms that might come at any time.
Zhang Ming couldn't believe that he had really returned to his hometown, and was worried that everything was just a dream.
"Hulu, do you understand what I'm thinking now?"
Gourd thought for a moment and said: [I understand. Just like the hazy moonlight tonight, it means that one day I suddenly felt the coolness of the wind on the river bank, and my feelings of admiration were in vain.
The letter I sent, the youth was scrawled and ended and the door was closed.]
[It's like waking up after a long nap, getting dressed, washing up, and getting ready to go to school. After searching for a long time but unable to find textbooks and backpacks, I suddenly remembered that I was pushed around many years ago when I was clearly not prepared.
Growing up, I lived a hurried life with no time to wave goodbye to summer. When I was young, I was full of expectations for everything in the world, and fell into the sea of time in the blink of an eye.]
【What is lost will never come back.】
[The reason why you stay in the forest instead of going to human settlements is because you are afraid of seeing the vicissitudes of life. Human beings, do you think I am right?]
Zhang Ming was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Your remarks are really sharp, but they are correct and their literary talent is outstanding."
He moved his ship from the moon and prepared to sleep here for a night.
The chirping of insects in the grass became more and more intense, and I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned.
So, Zhang Ming simply got up and started catching fireflies. These fragile creatures that emit light were put into bottles.
Seeing the fireflies begin to die, Zhang Ming had no choice but to let them go.
He entertained himself like this until dawn, and Zhang Ming finally cheered up again.
"Returning to Earth is just a small goal."
"The hunters of this world continue to test mankind!"
He casually carried a piece of wood that was about to rot, threw it into the sea, and slowly rowed eastward along the waves.
He even stuffed all his luggage, including the big boat, into the gourd, saying that he had nothing but a metal knife that was not very sharp.
"Do you know what I'm doing?"
[You want to solve your own inner demons, why the hell haven’t the expedition team come to rescue me yet!]
Zhang Ming was speechless, why did you guess so accurately and know me better than myself?
So he shouted at the top of his lungs: "The expedition team... where is the expedition team? I've already run back to the earth, why don't I come to rescue you! Someone come! Such a simple thing..."
"As long as the expedition team rescues me, the hunters of this world will forgive you, humans!"
Zhang Ming hugged the rotten wood and drifted in the ocean, the obsession in his chest burning like a flame.
This obsession is really deep-rooted and lasted for 159 years, throughout this journey, and even saved his life at a critical moment.
Student Hulu didn’t even dare to make any suggestions, because once he made a suggestion, his favorability points would be deducted!
However, the Western Continent is inaccessible, and finding a rescue team is simply a fantasy.
In the vast sea, deviating from the route, and suddenly being rescued by a ship, it is indeed more difficult than winning the lottery.
Seeing Lao Zhang hugging the driftwood and having nothing to do, he began to fall asleep and train the "Eye of Time and Space" in his dream. Student Hulu could only see the right moment and quietly exert an eastward force on the driftwood. p>
There is no other way, if you use more tricks, you will be discovered.
No one knows how difficult it is to do anything in front of extraordinary beings!
The driftwood was floating, and with great luck, I encountered an eastward ocean current, so I drifted eastward for half a month, day and night, all the way eastward.
There was a heavy rain in the middle, which added some moisture.
There was also a fish that hit the wood and knocked itself unconscious, performing a good show of "waiting for the rabbit".
However, Zhang Ming refused to eat or drink, saying that he was just an ordinary person in trouble and needed to wait for rescue by the rescue team.
The physiological limit of an ordinary person is about one month, so he is willing to wait for one month.
If there is no rescue within a month, he, Lao Zhang, will really turn into a world hunter!
…
The Pacific Ocean to the east is the prosperous holy land of human civilization, and 60% of the population is concentrated on the east side of Pangea.
Occasionally, I can sense fishing boats of various sizes passing by dozens of kilometers away.
But unfortunately, the fishermen did not find Zhang Ming who fell into the water.
This is normal. Under normal circumstances, the visual field on the sea is only 16 kilometers at most, and you can't see any further away. If there is fog, the visibility will be even lower.
"Rescue team, there is an ordinary person who fell into the water here!"
"If the rescue team doesn't come to save me, this hunter will destroy humanity! Forget it, I'll give you a little more time." Zhang Ming's eyes were red, and he was cursing this stupid race of humans, which is really the stinking shit among shits.
The smelly garbage among the garbage!
The gourd floating aside, seeing that one month is coming, can only quietly speculate on the true thoughts of this idiot with rich inner drama.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to cheat openly.
So a tiny bit of life was extracted from the Tree of Eden and placed on the sea.
Suddenly, a large number of ocean fish sensed something!
They gathered in this direction!
"Crash!"
In just one hour, more and more fish gathered together, frantically looking for this little glimmer of life, while Zhang Ming lay on the driftwood, turning a deaf ear to this phenomenon, pretending he didn't see anything.
Most fishing boats in this era used sonar to find schools of fish, and soon a fishing boat spotted a school of fish that was going crazy not far away.
"Brother, is there a person lying on the wood? There is also a knife in his hand!"
There are a total of four people on this fishing boat, two couples and two sons.
These people who make a living at sea are often tanned by the sun, and their skin looks a little old.
The couple is less than 60 years old this year. According to the current era, they are still in their prime. They still have to pay pension insurance for 20 years and work until they are 80 years old before they can retire!
As for the two sons, one is named Lin Fangqiang, 32 years old, who inherited the family’s fishing boat and is considered a professional fisherman; the other younger son is named Lin Fangzheng, 24 years old, who has just studied for a graduate degree in "Mutated Biological Breeding" and is taking advantage of the summer vacation.
Come out and grab some biological specimens.
In fact, their family also has a younger sister who has just entered college, but girls don’t go out to fish anymore. If their skin is tanned, they won’t be able to get married.
In this era, it is normal for a couple to have two or three children. After all, the total fertility rate reaches 2.1, which is the fertility replacement level. If it is lower than this number, there is a risk of civilization extinction.
As long as the human government does not want to perish, it can only encourage procreation.
When personal pensions are directly linked to the amount of pensions paid by children, a single tax is levied, and there are maternity subsidies, you will either have no children and no pension will be paid, or you will have two or more children.
Let’s not talk about this for now...
Lin Fangzheng, the second brother on the boat, saw someone hanging on the driftwood and quickly shouted, "Dad, someone fell into the water!"
"There's someone there calling the rescue team!"
When young students see this scene, they inevitably feel a little nervous, fearing that the man hanging on the driftwood will not be able to hold on and fall into the sea and drown.
He quickly controlled the steering wheel, started the engine, and wanted to drive the boat over.
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother Lin Fangqiang quickly snatched the steering wheel. The veins on his forehead popped a few times and he said with a serious face: "Lin Fangzheng, you have studied in college for so many years and have never experienced the world."
"What if that is a desperado who robs our boat, kills us all and throws us into the sea?"
"At that time, four of the five members of the family will die, and only one sister will be left alone. She may have to live on the street!"
Lin Fangzheng's eyelids twitched a few times: "But he seems to be unable to hold on!"
"What if he is just faking it? If we discover him, he will naturally discover us."
"You're pretending? You deliberately floated on the sea to ambush us, right? We don't have anything on the boat!"
When the two elders heard their quarrel, they also got out of the boat canopy. They squinted and took a look at the man holding the driftwood in the distance.
The old father couldn't help but pick up a cigarette and take a puff: "Qiangzi is right. This man is holding a piece of rotten wood, floating around in the sea, and holding a knife. He doesn't look serious at all."
People."
"Maybe he was wanted in some corner and escaped. If you encounter a shipwreck, you have to hold a lifebuoy, right?"
Suddenly, the man holding the driftwood slipped his hand and almost fell off the driftwood. The sight was frightening.
If you soak in sea water for a long time, on the one hand you will be short of water, and you cannot live for long without fresh water; on the other hand, you will lose body temperature. Although the current people on earth are generally much stronger than those of the old era, when they are short of water and food,
, just hold on for a longer time.
Lin Fangzheng was a little anxious and stared at the driftwood motionlessly. The man in trouble was very tired and could not hold on for much longer.
But he admitted that what his father and eldest brother said was right, and suddenly he had an idea: "How about we throw the spare inflatable boat over? If we don't do anything, wouldn't he die!"
"Hey, you melon boy is really a student, and your brain is a bit nerdy. It is normal for people to die in the vast sea. Some ships have caught mutated big fish, and they may directly fight among themselves and kill people. Every now and then, brothers turn against each other.
The story... Forget it, call the police first and let the coast guard catch him." As the elder brother Lin Fangqiang said this, he found the inflatable boat from the cabin very honestly.
Use your huge lung capacity to blow air inside.
This thing is usually just a layer of rubber and doesn't take up much space.
When used, fill it with air and it will turn into a lifeboat.
More importantly, Lin Fangqiang has been a soldier for several years. When he sees people in trouble, he always wants to help them.
