Chapter 45 Updated on October 8th

7:00 p.m.

Yu Zhu, who had just run around the raft for nearly an hour, finally stopped after the heat surging in his body had subsided.

What surprised her was that Meihua and Xinni did not stop but continued running, looking full of energy.

The two little guys seemed addicted to running. When they ran their first lap in front of Yu Zhu, Yu Zhu smiled and gave them a thumbs-up, and gave them verbal encouragement: "Come on! Fighting!"

After that, Yu Zhu rested and watched them run, showing off two sweet mangosteens. Seeing that her cubs were about to run to the third lap, she vaguely heard the scream of Meihua flash by.

Plum Blossom: “Ah!”

Help! A leopard is trying to eat the chicken!

Yu Zhu had just thrown the mangosteen peel into the trash can and thought he had misheard. But after taking a closer look, he finally realized that something was wrong.

Meihua was running ahead of Xinni, leading the charge. Yu Zhu even guessed that Meihua had evolved from eating bear meat and could run faster than a leopard. It turned out to be adrenaline.

When people/animals experience certain stimuli (such as excitement, fear, tension, etc.), they will secrete adrenaline, which will accelerate breathing (provide a large amount of oxygen), speed up heartbeat and blood flow, and dilate pupils, providing more energy for physical activities and making them react more quickly. ①

Plum blossoms are a typical example now.

This reminded Yu Zhu of a real event he saw in a short video.

A foreign guy participated in a cycling competition. His past performance was mediocre, but he broke several world records in one competition. The organizers once suspected that he was cheating and had injected stimulants and other drugs. After investigation and surveillance, they found that there was a bear chasing him from behind, which caused his adrenaline to burst, which was more effective than any other medicine.

The scenes in the video couldn't help but overlap with the scene in front of me.

Yu Zhu quickly called out, "Xinni!"

Xinni was obviously excited about running. Other people's families were playing cats and mice, but Yu Zhu's family was playing leopards and chickens. She definitely didn't run with all her strength. She probably thought Meihua was playing with her.

Even though she was having a lot of fun, Xinni still stopped when she heard the sound, braked handsomely, and then turned around nimbly and ran towards Yu Zhu.

Those amber eyes were particularly eye-catching. In the dark night, they emitted a creepy glow. They were fierce and swift, and returned to Yu Zhu in just a few steps.

When he was 2 meters away from her, he took off and jumped into Yu Zhu's arms.

Of course, all of Xinni's ferocity is from Meihua's perspective. In Yu Zhu's eyes, Xinni is just a lively, active and clingy big cat.

When Meihua found that Xinni was no longer chasing her, she also stopped. After relaxing, she braked on her face. The whole chicken was so tired that it lay on the raft, motionless, and was about to become a useless chicken. The bear meat that she had finally eaten was digested.

Seeing the plum blossom like this, Yu Zhu knew it was very miserable and she shouldn't laugh, but she really couldn't help it and laughed out loud in a very immoral way.

But even though she was laughing, even though she was holding Xinni, she would not favor one over the other. She walked over and picked up Meihua, then took them to the fishing area, placing the two little ones on either side of the rocking chair so that they could rest separately.

Xinni licked her paws that were sparking from running. Meihua had seriously exceeded the exercise limit and was still recovering.

Plum Blossom: “Hey…”

It’s really killing me!

While taking a break, Yu Zhu looked at the sea in the distance. The huge intermediate island that appeared during the day had disappeared.

It didn't disappear completely. To be precise, it just became smaller, with its area shrinking by two-thirds.

The rising sea level submerged all the low-lying areas around the island, leaving only the center of the island and the highest mountain peak.

When the island is closed, the sea becomes like a poisonous circle, which begins to shrink little by little. Players can stay on the island, but one can imagine what kind of existence is in the deepest part of the island.

Players still have to know when to quit. If they want to covet the resources on the island, they have to be lucky enough to get them.

As soon as it gets dark and after dinner, the players have a rare free time, so they gather in the chat area and start chatting. The topic is naturally related to the island.

Han Yong: Another hundred people are missing today. It seems not getting the island map isn't such a bad thing. At least I'm still alive (sigh)

Hu Xiangyang: Those who were the most arrogant this morning are now forgotten, their names completely forgotten.

[Pang Gang: This **** game is ****! I looked at the map and thought I'd see the island tomorrow, but so many people died in just one day. I don't even know if I should even go there!]

Wang Duoyu: Don't panic, young man. Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. If you really don't dare to go, you can sell me the map and I'll go for you. When we return to reality, I'll invest another 800 million in you!

[Pang Gang: You bastard, why don’t you steal other people’s 50 wooden boards first?]

…

Luo Xincheng: I'd like to give a piece of advice to players who haven't yet landed on the island: time is of the essence. Don't be so obsessed with resources and safety that you won't want to leave.

You Yang: What will happen if I don't leave the island?

Qiu Jun: After 5 o'clock, the island will be submerged by the sea until only the central area remains. The boss lives there. What do you think will happen if you live with the boss?

[Mei Bei: Just thinking about it is exciting (smile)]

Fu Wanwan: Everyone, don't be too anxious. It's better to be safe than sorry. Collect resources slowly. Safety is paramount.

…

In the chat area of ​​server 4366, the number of players has evolved from 10,000 to only 6,586 now. Most of them have a sense of mutual understanding and are willing to help each other and are not stingy in sharing their experiences.

Yu Zhu watched silently for a while. Everyone had said what they could say, and she had nothing to add. Anyway, her survival guide had always been to fight if she could, and run if she couldn't.

She is relatively lucky (? At least she hasn't met anyone she can't beat yet.

After watching for about ten minutes, Yu Zhu stopped because her fish was hooked.

She would explore the island during the day and work part-time as a fisherman at night. She would never miss any way to earn resources. In this situation, Yu Zhu felt that it would be unfair if she was not rich.

In the end, it took a total of 2 and a half hours, and all 5 fish were caught, 1 big, 2 medium and 2 small, 2 of which were new species, unlocking the marine fish atlas x22. After many days, Yu Zhu finally got lucky again.

[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a turbot!]

【Length: 28.43cm (Medium)】

【Breakdown: 500g fish meat】

[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a grouper!]

【Length: 37.21cm (Medium)】

【Breakdown: 800g fish meat】

[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a longtail!]

[Length: 15.42cm (small)]

【Breakdown: 250g fish meat】

[Ding! Congratulations! You caught a saury!]*

[Length: 18.39cm (small)]

【Breakdown: 300g fish meat】

[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a flower eel!]*

【Length: 2m (large)】

【Decomposition: 5000g fish meat】

When the big eel bit the hook, Yu Zhu felt its strength, which was obviously different from that of small and medium-sized fish.

She knew that she had most likely "won the prize", and her breathing became irregular. She held the fishing rod tightly and struggled with it in the water for several minutes. Finally, Yu Zhu led it to swim over.

Looking at the traces of its swimming, which were a bit too long, Yu Zhu's heart sank a little, thinking it was another cutlassfish. It was not until it got closer that he saw that it was a spotted eel, which was much fatter than a cutlassfish.

When the 2-meter-long spotted eel got on the raft, Meihua turned around and ran away, and Xinni's leopard eyes were about to pop out.

The giant eel can survive in both freshwater and seawater. Its body shape is similar to that of a loach. Both are fish similar to long snakes. It takes advantage of its weight and will not be obedient even when it is about to die.

Now it looked like a python, rolling around on the raft, which could scare people to death, but Yu Zhu stepped on it without even blinking.

This is all money, we must not let it run away.

Seeing this, Xinni hurried over to help. Yu Zhu stepped on the giant eel's belly, and Xinni bit its neck.

Yu Zhu seized the opportunity, quickly opened the game, and took a group photo. The photo was so exciting that it could be used as a poster for a horror survival movie.

After taking the photos, Yu Zhu dissected the giant eel. He was still able to accept the weight of 5,000 grams, as it was already five times that of a large hairtail.

This time Xinni also put in some effort. She threw 100g of fish meat to it for it to try. Xinni ate the fish meat in a few bites. She was very satisfied with this midnight snack and took the initiative to put her head under Yu Zhu's hand.

Yu Zhu happily petted the cat while checking tonight's harvest, which totaled: 6850g of fish meat

After fishing, she also went home from get off work. As soon as she walked to the door of the wooden house, she heard a series of chickens crowing inside. She was very excited and thought something had happened.

When I opened the door, I saw Meihua bragging about her achievements to the other little ones, and she was talking very fast.

Plum Blossom: "Chuck, chuck, chuck!"

She caught a huge fish, about as long as a shed, like a giant loach! It was incredibly thick (hundreds of words omitted here). I've never seen such a big fish in my life!

All the items that were hooked pricked up their ears: If you can speak, then say more!

Yu Zhu was so amused by what she heard. When did she get such a true fan?
