Chapter 80

The two of them had just finished cleaning up the greenhouse. Qiao Sheng moved the planting pots in and now had to plant more Panax notoginseng to make Baibao Dan.

Li Mu went to the kitchen and took out the earthenware pot he used to boil medicine. He put shark liver in it, put firewood in the stove, and continued to boil cod liver oil. He also had to pay close attention to the problem of snow accumulation. The snow was too heavy, and a lot of snow accumulated on the terrace and the bow in a short time.

When Qiao Sheng was sweeping the snow on the third deck with his hat, he received a message from Fang Yueyi, saying that their fleet had an accident. When they woke up in the morning, there was a mess. Some people sank to the bottom of the sea in their sleep. Fortunately, Pei Hong arranged a team member to keep watch since the beginning of winter.

Xu Ziyan was on guard last night. He happened to see the scene. He used a loud speaker to call the others and jumped in first to save people. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. The crew members of the sinking ship woke up as soon as they touched the water and also swam out. The two sides quickly connected. They swam together.

Pei Hong's boat heard the sound and let go of the rope. In just a few minutes, both of them were on the boat.

Fang Yueyi was thankful that there were no sharks, otherwise Xu Ziyan might not come back. Seeing that they were all on the boat, she quickly rowed her boat close to Pei Hong, took Xu Ziyan back, boiled water, and put him in a bathtub. When he came out, she forced him to drink several bowls of ginger soup, which made Xu Ziyan grimaced. She was now afraid that he would catch a cold.

After all, they had not found any medicine to treat colds so far, so they had to take precautions. After

Qiao Sheng finished chatting with Fang Yueyi, he quickly sent a message to Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang, asking them to be careful. Seeing Chu Wanyou and Wen Yizhou in the friend list, he also sent a message.

Xia Beibei had no problem. She noticed the snow last night and got up early to clean up the snow. Lin Haiyang didn't come back until noon, and he kept complaining that he was indebted to Qiao Sheng, otherwise he would have become a ghost on the sea.

Chu Wanyou and Wen Yizhou hadn't left the island yet. They were in the shallow sea area, so there was no problem.

Shovel the three layers of snow into the wooden basin, and when it was full, pour it into the bucket that had been filled with snow before. The snow was loose before, so the water after it melted didn't fill the bucket.

Just after clearing the snow on the building, the system began to broadcast that there was an island nearby. Qiao Sheng was pouring the snow into a bucket and was startled by the sound. It had only been such a short time since he left the last island. He was so lucky that he drifted to another island so quickly.

After saying goodbye to Li Mu, they both went about their own business. It was late at night when their boat finally reached the island.

Thinking about the snow and the island, they both got up quite early. The temperature in the greenhouse was suitable, but it was different with the fur on the wall. The insulation effect was really good.

After getting up and washing up, they had to open the door and sweep the snow. The heavy snow had been falling for a whole day and two nights, and it was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping.

As soon as the door was removed, Qiao Sheng didn't even bother to sweep the snow. He pointed at the white island in front of him with his left hand and pushed Li Mu with his right hand.

The island was no longer covered with snow. In some places, you could see the reflective ice surface. Looking around, there was not even a tree on the whole island. Both of them were a little confused about the situation.

"Is this the same situation in Antarctica and the North Pole?" Qiao Sheng added snow to the bucket with a shovel.

"There are plants in the North Pole, but it's too cold in the South Pole and there are no trees." Li Mu carefully observed the island in front of him. There was not a single tree. There were a few penguins wandering around with their families on the shore.

It doesn't really matter if they go to the shore. From what Li Mu knows, he can roughly guess that the main creatures on this island are penguins and seals. In Qiao Sheng's cognition, these should all belong to the aquarium. It's really a bit difficult to serve them on the table.

Finally, Li Mu remembered that there should be shrimps in the sea near this island. They can catch some shrimps before leaving.

Just after sweeping the snow on the boat, before they had time to use the scoop net to catch shrimps, the whole boat was hit and swayed. He quickly took out the machete to see the situation.

Seeing their old acquaintance, the two put away their machetes first. There were two killer whales parked beside the boat. Qiao Sheng could recognize them because one of them lifted its tail to show them. It was the tail with the fishing line entangled. The two killer whales became one of the conjoined whales. The other one was the one with the head injury.

It was too obvious. There was a scar on the smooth forehead. The artificial skin film that was applied before had fallen off long ago. The wound had also healed, but the scar was probably still there.

"What are these scarred head and rotten tail doing here?" Qiao Sheng whispered in Li Mu's ear, then walked over enthusiastically and touched the heads of the two killer whales.

The two animals were also very excited, especially the one with rotten tail, which kept wagging its tail like a puppy.

Qiao Sheng told them that they would stay here for a while, as they might leave in the afternoon. The two killer whales were obviously a little disappointed, rubbed their hands, turned around and swam away.

"They didn't say what they were doing here, so they didn't chase us all the way here, did they?" Qiao Sheng was surprised.

"Maybe we have arrived at their hometown." Li Mu went back to the cabin to get a scoop net and started catching shrimps.

It must be said that the resources in each place are really different. The shrimps that have never been seen on other islands before, here, all caught with a scoop are more than ten centimeters, big in size, and lively.

The two of them slowly scooped up a wooden barrel of JJZL shrimps. Before they could change the barrel, they heard a familiar knocking sound outside. They went out to see that the killer whales had indeed returned.

However, they did not come empty-handed, but brought a gift, a three-meter-long octopus, which was thrown onto the deck. When Qiao Sheng was still wondering how the octopus could be so big, Li Mu said it was a giant squid. These killer whales were really powerful.

When they left, there were two killer whales. When they came back, there was a small team. Qiao Sheng counted them and found that there were more than ten of them. The first few threw a giant squid up, and the ones behind swam far away and caught a shark of two or three meters. It was not big, but according to Li Mu, there should not be sharks near this Antarctic-like island.

Finally, two killer whales caught a penguin and threw it up. Qiao Sheng couldn't accept it. The giant squid was dead, the shark was dead, but the penguin was alive. They suspected that they just caught it and threw it up.

Ignoring the penguins wandering around the bow, Qiao Sheng first asked the killer whales if they had any injuries that needed treatment, otherwise why did they send so many gifts? But seeing that the killer whales were all alive and kicking, he was not so sure.

After a simple communication, he was sure that there was no problem. Qiao Sheng felt that the IQ of these killer whales was indeed high enough. This meant that he should give more gifts to maintain a long-term good cooperative relationship. If there is any problem in the future, they will come up and ask for help. How can I not help them?

"When did sharks become a must-have creature in the ocean as gifts? And they are always so big, it's really worrying. The previous ones haven't finished yet, right? We won't be forced to eat shark meat in the future." Qiao Sheng looked at the swimming killer whales, and then at the sharks on the bow. Sometimes it's worrying when there are too many of them.

"It's okay. Leave the viscera, skin and bones, and sell the rest on the trading system. We don't like to eat this, but there are many people who want to eat it. We didn't react before and gave it away in a hurry. We don't need to give it away this time. We will exchange for supplies. Only by exchanging more can we upgrade the ship." Li Mu didn't worry about this, especially after changing into cotton clothes in the past two days, he was able to get used to it.

After confirming that the killer whale had swam far away, Qiao Sheng quickly asked Li Mu to get the two penguins that were hustling at the bow off the boat. They couldn't keep this thing, and they wouldn't eat it, especially since it was still alive. It wasn't worth killing it for a few pounds of meat.

Li Mu didn't say anything. He put on leather gloves, grabbed the two penguins by the back of their necks, and threw them onto the shore. They were not going to get off the boat. There was no sense of security in such a place.

The two returned to the cabin and continued catching shrimp until the sun was about to set. They did not dare to stay any longer and pulled up the anchor to prepare to leave.

As soon as the boat floated up, they felt the bottom of the boat was pushed several times. Fortunately, the force was not that strong and they were not overturned. They did not dare to go into the greenhouse to eat. They ate a mutton hotpot on the stove in the kitchen. The boat was pushed up and down like this. They were afraid that the boat would be broken apart. Fortunately, this situation only lasted for more than ten minutes.

Holding the bowl, looking out through the wooden window of the kitchen, with the help of the setting sun, they could see clearly what was pushing their boat in the sea.

"Jellyfish? Why is it so big? What are those floating there? Its tentacles?" Qiao Sheng forgot to eat the meat in his bowl and asked blankly with his mouth open.

"Styx jellyfish? But why did it come to the surface of the sea? Shouldn't it be in the deep sea?" This situation made Li Mu dumbfounded, as it didn't match the knowledge he knew.

After the boat sailed farther, the two sat down and continued to eat hot pot.

Li Mu was very silent, and Qiao Sheng advised him not to think too much, and to take this game one day at a time. Maybe he wouldn't encounter such an island similar to Antarctica next time.

"It's best not to encounter them. In the real world, the creatures on the bottom of the Antarctic are huge. If we run into anything, our boat won't be able to withstand it. We were lucky just now. If this Styx jellyfish had used more force, we might have been detained on the bottom of the sea." Li Mu sighed, and suddenly felt that this game was not played according to the routine, which was also very frustrating.

After dinner, he washed the pots and bowls, and went downstairs to start cleaning up the shrimps caught today. When I was making hot pot just now, I also threw a few down. They were big enough and the meat was delicious. They were really good.

I didn't feel much when I was catching them, but now I counted them, and they actually caught five large wooden barrels of shrimps. Those were the half-person-high wooden barrels they used for bathing. Five barrels lined up in a row looked a bit too much.

"It's not that we are greedy, it's just that it's too hard to catch shrimps on other islands in this game. We haven't eaten shrimps for a long time, right? It's understandable to catch more and eat them slowly. Even if we can't finish them, we can exchange them for supplies. Anyway, it's all for upgrading the ship." When it comes to finding excuses, Qiao Sheng has never lost.

Li Mu's response was simple, reasonable and legal, and there was nothing wrong with it. They have a lot of food on the ship now, with many types and quantities. It's just that it hasn't been long since winter, and other players are at most short of clothes, not to the point of lacking food. They shouldn't be able to sell at a good price. At this time, they still have to calm down and wait, just like cotton clothes, wait for an opportunity for price increases, then sell them to maximize profits.
