Chapter 9 Repairing the fishing rod and rescuing Zhong Qiang
"Everyone, look for the blueprints for a seawater filter. With a filter, we won't have to worry about not having water to drink."
Jiang Wenle: "Rou Rou, I'm so thirsty, can I have a sip of water? I'll dance for you and show you my abs!"
Some people were annoyed: "A grown man is always nagging girls for things. How shameless!"
"Yeah, Jiang Wenle, can you just shut up? You're disgusting!"
Zhong Qiang: "Who can save me? I'll give him all my supplies from now on, except for the necessities for survival!"
"Zhong Qiang is disgusting too. Everyone's survival is a problem these days. He's a big, burly man who doesn't do any work and has been whining for two days straight!"
After that, Zhong Qiang never spoke again.
Lu Xingchen sensed something was wrong, and as if possessed, she clicked on Zhong Qiang's information.
Name: Zhong Qiang
ID: YX100000
Age: 35
Zhong Qiang's 3D image settings are displayed.
He was probably in his thirties or forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. At this moment, he looked tired, with an unshaven beard and his eyes were blank and helpless.
He looks a bit like Lu Xingchen's high school math teacher, with a righteous and upright appearance.
People with this kind of appearance tend to be upright, value promises, and always keep their word.
Zhong Qiang once said that if someone saves him, he will repay that person with all the resources he receives in the future, unless it is absolutely necessary for his survival.
So……
She thought for a moment and then messaged Zhong Qiang privately: "Are you sick?"
Zhong Qiang: "I'm not sick, I'm just hungry, thirsty, and injured."
Lu Xingchen was surprised: "Isn't it the novice protection period? How can he be injured?"
Zhong Qiang: "When I first woke up, my fishing rod was broken and there was no hook at all. I couldn't catch the floating box. I had no choice but to try to go into the water to retrieve it, but then a shark attacked me underwater and I injured my leg."
"I haven't eaten or drunk anything for almost two days..."
"I'm not a lazy person, and I didn't become a beggar on purpose. I just had no other choice and couldn't find a way to make a living."
"What if I die? My wife died in a car accident, and my son is only five years old..."
Zhong Qiang's voice became weaker and weaker, his tone filled with despair and confusion, and even a hint of sob.
In the past two days, he had no choice but to ask for water, but all he encountered was disgust and curses. Some people even added him as a friend and called him a waste who polluted the chat channel every day.
Some even scolded him for being worse than a woman.
Many people didn't even listen to his explanation, added him as a friend, gave him hope, then scolded him, blocked him and left.
He didn't even have a chance to confide in anyone.
He has been feeling very depressed these past two days.
He's a technical expert; in modern times, he'd be a celebrity, highly skilled in combat and knowledgeable in all sorts of techniques. Unfortunately, in the vast ocean, with only a small raft and a broken fishing rod, he had no chance to use his skills.
He was also a good swimmer, so it should have been no problem for him to go into the water and retrieve a wooden box. However, the shark did not attack the raft underwater, but only attacked him.
And it was extremely ferocious. If he didn't have good physical strength, he would not have been able to escape.
Even so, he injured his calf. He knew first aid and managed to stop the bleeding and prevent infection.
It's just that he has a good physique. If others had gone through this and not eaten or drunk for such a long time, they would have died long ago.
Perhaps because everyone is under a lot of pressure to survive and is in a bad mood, he has only heard insults and hasn't been able to find anyone to confide in.
Lu Xingchen was the first person to silently listen to his troubles.
Zhong Qiang was deeply moved, and tears almost welled up in his eyes: "Thank you for listening to me. I know that everyone is having a hard time right now. If I die, I die. It's all fate!"
Lu Xingchen thought about it, added Zhong Qiang as a friend, and said, "Video chat with me."
The video opened, and Zhong Qiang appeared, exactly like the 3D image. His right calf was still bound with strips of cloth, and traces of blood were seeping out.
