My barrage in the wild can be withdrawn

Chapter 372 Midnight Storm

"160 catties? It's almost as heavy as two of mine. Do you call it big?"

Dong Xin said helplessly.

Dong Xin is the thinnest of the three girls, weighing just over 80 kilograms.

Not to mention the big one, even the small dragon group weighed nearly 40 catties more than her.

"Haha, this time I finally saw a pot that couldn't be stewed."

Li Qiang looked at the big thing on the ground and said happily.

"Niu Pi, I have to take a picture!"

He Jianzhong wanted to hug the big dragon group with his bare hands, but found that he couldn't hold it at all.

In fact, it's not that I can't hold it, it's too slippery.

He tried for a long time, and finally hugged Li Qiang together.

Everyone was taking pictures, but Zhou Chen was studying how to get rid of such a big guy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Chen decided to deal with it on the spot.

"These two fish are very heavy. If you carry them back, it will take a lot of energy. We might as well process them on the spot."

Zhou Chen said slowly.

"In-situ processing?"

Jiang Wan didn't understand.

"That's right, except for tonight's food, all the rest will be processed into non-perishable dried fish."

Although the temperature on the island is relatively cool this season, fish cannot be stored at room temperature in this weather.

"Dried fish? I see, we can make smoked dried fish!"

Liang Tian hurriedly answered.

Zhou Chen made similar food in the previous wilderness live broadcast.

Liang Tian is Zhou Chen's die-hard fan, so he naturally knows this method.

"Dried smoked fish is indeed a good choice, but I don't want to make dried smoked fish this time..."

Zhou Chen responded with a slight smile.

"Don't make smoked dried fish?"

Li Qiang was also a little surprised.

He also wanted to say that smoked fish was coming, but Liang Tian preempted him.

The air humidity on the island is very high. If you want to make smoked fish, you need to bake it continuously, which is time-consuming and laborious. So Zhou Chen thought of a better way.

"That's right, because we can make salted fish."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and took the initiative to say the answer.

"We got a lot of sea salt when we were doing seawater distillation, so we can use that sea salt to marinate these fish."

Zhou Chen took the initiative to reveal the mystery.

"Second!"

Li Qiang's eyes flickered before he realized it.

"Come on, let's go to the camp to get the salt."

After listening to the other party's plan, He Jianzhong returned to the camp with Li Qiang.

After throwing a layer of palm leaves on the ground, Zhou Chen started to make dried fish with sea salt.

The biggest difference between smoked fish and pickled fish is that the process of making smoked fish requires continuous baking with firewood.

Pickling fish is much simpler, just slice the fish and coat it with a good amount of sea salt.

What's more, as long as the fillets are done with salting.

Even if it is placed outdoors, there will be no predators or birds to eat it.

of course.

Zhou Chen and the others wouldn't eat it raw either.

It is also necessary to desalt the fish fillets with hot water before cooking.

Because the size of these two fish was too huge, Zhou Chen didn't make the fish fillets too small.

Fortunately, there is plenty of sea salt, even if it is insufficient, it can be refined on site.

After several hours of busy work, everyone finally marinated the fish.

After dusting off the sea salt grains on his hands, Zhou Chen let out a long sigh of relief, "OK, it's done, and the rest will be left to time."

After finishing speaking, he looked towards the sky, "I hope it doesn't rain tonight."

After all the busy work, it was already dark.

The crowd returned to the camp with two fish heads, fish tails, and some leftovers that were not needed for salting fish.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with grilled chicken added to the fish pot, and after the meal, there were also wood milk fruits picked by Zhou Chen when he was out.

Eight people ate bulging and hanhe.

After dinner, Zhou Chen assigned the task of vigil again.

At the request of everyone, Zhou Chen and Liang Tian guarded the first half of the night, while He Jianzhong, Fatty, and Li Qiang were responsible for the second half of the night.

Night on a deserted island is more lively than daytime.

A series of noisy sounds such as insects and frogs, campfire crackling, snoring, etc., converged into a symphony.

Zhou Chen and Liang Tian sat around the campfire, recalling every scene that happened during the day.

Hu~hu~hu~
The night wind suddenly picked up, and the flames flickered.

Under the reflection of the bonfire, the ancient trees around the camp turned into demons of the night. They stretched out their big hands and twisted them strangely.

The strong wind pulled Zhou Chen's thoughts back.

Glancing at the sky, Zhou Chen had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Shouldn't it be..."

pat~
Before he finished speaking, a drop of rain fell on the tip of his nose.

"Damn it! It's raining."

Liang Tian also noticed it.

Hearing this sentence, the live broadcast room suddenly became lively.

Although the deserted island where Zhou Chen was located was terrifyingly dark, in fact, it was only 11 o'clock.

This period is the peak period of Internet access.

There are also 420 million people watching Zhou Chen's live broadcast.

"Hahaha, it's raining."

"What am I talking about? Why doesn't the housing manager open a quiz? It's a blood loss."

"Brother Chen's mouth seems to be open."

"Niu Pi, this tainted milk deserves at least nine stars."

When everyone was discussing in the live broadcast room, Zhou Chen was not in the mood to chat.

"Don't sleep, it's raining, boys follow me to the beach to get fish."

He yelled as he rummaged through the camp for equipment.

If the salted fish is soaked in water, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Zhou Chen wants to give himself a mouth now, it's okay to poison what milk.

Everyone woke up from their dreams and joined the rescue team of salted fish.

wow~wow~wow~
The rain was not in a hurry, but it started to fall.

The seaside is not far from the camp, but it is also a few minutes away.

Zhou Chen ran ahead holding a torch, and the rest followed behind.

"It's dark and the road is slippery, so be careful where you step."

Zhou Chen didn't forget to tell everyone while running.

Soon, everyone came to the beach.

The pickled fish area is not too big, but everyone can find it with their eyes closed.

In addition to bursts of fishy smell, the white sea salt is also particularly obvious in the rain.

"It's not raining too much now, everyone has to act fast!"

Zhou Chen took a series of containers that could hold backpacks, buckets, etc., all over.

The fresh fish has become wrinkled under the action of salt, and the moisture in the meat has also been separated out, so the volume of the fish is much smaller than when it was just marinated.

After some rescue, everyone stuffed all the fish fillets into the container.

"Boss, the barrels are full, there's no room for them."

He Jianzhong asked.

"Don't need the rest."

Glancing at the thunderous sky, Zhou Chen made a quick decision, "Let's retreat quickly."

The rain is not heavy at the moment, but the thunder has begun.

Zhou Chen knew that if nothing unexpected happened, heavy rain would come.

If you are greedy now, you may not even be able to take a piece of fish away after a while.

Although everyone was reluctant, they could only let go and followed Zhou Chen back to the camp.

After about ten minutes, everyone returned to the camp against the rain.

After the boys left, the girls were not idle either.

They moved the bonfire to the prepared area.

This area is not too big, but there is a three-meter-high roof, which Zhou Chen prepared in advance for the rain.

Dashes of lightning made the night look like day.

Boom~ boom~ boom~
A thunderstorm followed the lightning.

A few minutes after everyone returned to the camp, the rain came.

The downpour was like a waterfall above the sky, washing the world and the earth.

Under Tianwei, everyone curled up in the shelter like ants.

"Attention everyone, if the drain outside the shelter is blocked by mud, it must be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent rainwater from overflowing into the shelter."

Thunder was rolling in the sky, but Zhou Chen still wanted to remind everyone.

Although the two shelters had different shapes, Zhou Chen dug drainage ditches for them.

While shelters are built on higher ground, they can also pose a hazard if there is too much rain.

"Xiaoqiang, Fatty, Xiaotian, you three, wipe these wet salted fish to prevent spoilage."

Although these fish fillets have not been marinated yet, fortunately they have not been wet by the heavy rain, only a little rainwater has been stained on the surface.

Taking a look at the rain, Zhou Chen looked at He Jianzhong, "Jianzhong, open the drainage channel in the low-lying area."

It rained harder and harder, and if the drainage channels were not increased, the shelters would still be flooded.

Zhou Chen can't let this happen.

He Jianzhong was digging drainage ditches in the boys' shelter, while Zhou Chen ran to the girls' shelter a few meters away and started the same operation.

"How are you? Is it raining?"

Under the heavy rain, Zhou Chen began to ask about the situation in the shelter.

"The roof is not leaking, but there is some water seepage on the ground."

As Zhou Chen expected.

The rain was so heavy that the shelter had begun to seep.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen quickened his movements.

At this moment, all the audience in the live broadcast room were sweating for Zhou Chen and others.

Boom~ boom~ boom~
The thunder still shook the sky, and the rain still showed no signs of abating.

While digging, Zhou Chen made protection for the shelter.

In addition to water seepage, he is now more worried that the heavy rain will cause mountain torrents, and then it will not only be as simple as getting wet.

"I'll help you."

Seeing that Zhou Chen was working very hard, Jiang Wan rushed out of the shelter.

Seeing the other party's eyes were bright, Zhou Chen did not force the other party to go back, but said loudly: "Reinforce the corner, be careful!"

There was loud thunder and heavy rain, and Zhou Chen didn't talk nonsense.

The three of them worked hard for a long time, and finally the shelter was no longer leaking.

The heavy rain lasted for four to ten minutes, during which Zhou Chen came out to reinforce several times.

"The rain stopped, we survived!"

Li Qiang said happily.

When he spoke, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Scared me……"

Dong Xin hugged Jiang Wan, crying bitterly.

Li Zixuan also wiped away tears.

obviously.

The girls collectively cried.

Storms are very scary.

Maybe everyone watches the storm in front of the TV and thinks how scary it is.

But when you are in the wind and rain, this kind of scene of thunder and heavy rain is hard to forget even for a strong-willed person.

It is undoubtedly unfortunate for the person who encounters a storm for the first time to experience the wilderness.

But fortunately, they have a teammate like Zhou Chen.

The storm lasted for an hour and a half before it gradually receded.

After the heavy rain, everyone fell asleep.

Only Zhou Chen still insisted on vigil.

……

The next morning.

When the white belly was exposed in the sky and the birds were singing, a hanging stone in Zhou Chen's heart finally fell down.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I fell asleep again."

Liang Tian looked at Zhou Chen beside the campfire, and said apologetically.

Zhou Chen didn't speak, but made a silent gesture, signaling him not to wake everyone up.

Liang Tian got up carefully, and slowly moved to the side of the campfire to warm up.

"so cold."

Liang Tian shuddered.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen asked him to take off his half-wet clothes and dry them.

"The clothes are wet, take them off and bake them, be careful not to catch a cold."

While talking, Zhou Chen put his dry clothes on the other party.

Maybe it was the sound of talking or everyone was not sleeping well, but other people in the camp began to get up one after another.

"Come on, let's have a bowl of fish soup to warm up."

Zhou Chen lifted the lid of the pot, and the smell came from the steaming fish tank.

Everyone was tortured last night.

While drinking the fish soup, everyone was lamenting the thrill of last night.

"Boss, is this storm bigger than the one you had in the South China Sea before?"

Liang Tian is the oldest diehard among them, he has watched every live broadcast of Zhou Chen.

Even if I didn't have time to watch it at the time, I would still watch the recording.

Zhou Chen swallowed the delicious and warm fish soup in his mouth, and his stomach felt warm.

Hearing the other party's question, Zhou Chen nodded slightly, "That's right, the storm last night was the biggest one I've broadcast live for so long."

He wiped his mouth and put a smile on his face, "I'm glad to have you by my side."

Everyone smiled when they heard that.

"To be honest, if it wasn't for you last night, I would have been taken away by the heavy rain."

The fat man drank the fish soup, and his mouth was not idle.

He is most afraid of thunder. Even when he thinks back to the scene of last night, he still feels hairy all over his body.

Zhou Chen can understand this feeling, because he was also afraid of thunder when he was young.

"Don't worry, with your tonnage, even if it rains a little more, you will be the safest."

Li Qiang smiled and said directly.

Hearing this, the fat man quit, "You still have the nerve to tell me, didn't you cry in fright last night?"

"Nonsense, how could I be scared to cry, don't make trouble."

Li Qiang snorted coldly, he would naturally not admit it.

"What? You still don't admit it. I obviously saw you crying. If I didn't cry so hard at that time, I would have photographed it for you."

hahaha~
Hearing this sentence, everyone was overjoyed.

"Okay, okay, eat quickly, we have to move after eating."

The smile on Zhou Chen's face gradually disappeared, and he said seriously: "Actually, I should be mainly responsible for the embarrassment last night."

As soon as his words fell, everyone froze.

He Jianzhong was about to speak, but Zhou Chen stopped him, "Listen to me, if I had chosen a higher location for the camp, we wouldn't have been so passive last night."

"Boss, I can't blame you, you don't know if there will be a storm."

Li Qiang interjected.

But Zhou Chen shook his head, "In the wilderness, we should anticipate all possibilities, otherwise the embarrassing situation like last night would happen. As the captain, I really have an inescapable responsibility."

"As you said, we are a team, and if we have problems, we should bear them together!"

"Yes! Take it together!"

Zhou Chen looked at the firm eyes of everyone, and his nose felt a little sour...
