Chapter 159 Civilization Ruins on a Deserted Island
The roar of the engine at the port of City S, two Land Rover opened the way, followed by four ambulances flashing red and blue, and finally followed by a large freight vehicle.The Trident was different from the magnificence when it left, and it was like a bereaved dog when it came back.The hull is full of bumps and hollows, as if it was shot by a machine gun.Their situation is actually not much better than mine, and the school of man-eating flying fish was not completely wiped out as imagined.When the Trident arrived, it encountered this life-devouring wave again.

Everyone hid in the cabin, and the swarm of man-eating flying fish fought day and night for three days and three nights as if they knew the iron tank contained the flesh and blood they craved.Fortunately, the members of Group A and Sun Fuyuan of Group B had been found before this. Faced with the endless attacks of piranha flying fish, the Trident had no way to continue the search and rescue.The supplies on board were about to run out, so they had to return.

However, after leaving the coral reef area, they were attacked by ghost ships again.The Trident, which had experienced several battles, was struggling to cope, and the main combat forces on board—Sun Dasheng, Sun Tingting, Sun Changzhi, and Sun Fuyuan were all seriously injured.In the end, it can only be regarded as fleeing.

In the last few days, it was exactly as Sun Dasheng said - he came back hungry.The wounded were immediately sent to the ambulance and rushed to the hospital.At the same time, a large crane at the port was dispatched. Although the personnel looked terrible when they came back, it has to be said that they have gained a lot.Not to mention finding the target Tianbaokan astrolabe, but also accidentally got another treasure—that is, the huge thing covered by the canvas on the ship—a scale of Candle Dragon.

On that day, the re-sealed Zhu Jiuyin showed unprecedented violence.Fortunately, it was already a wild beast in a cage, and after knocking me into the air, it didn't make any big moves.On the other hand, Sun Dasheng erupted with unimaginable power. Sun Dasheng, who was burning with the real fire of five flavors, seemed like a god descended into the world, and forcibly removed a scale from the dragon-shaped Zhu Jiuyin!Although it is only a scale, it is also extremely huge.When it was shipped back, it occupied more than half of the Trident's deck.

This kind of thing can't pass through customs, and it can't be seen by ordinary people.That is something taboo, this time they completely opened another door to the world.It contains the truth of the world. The creatures in the ancient legends do exist and are still alive today.They are a threat and an asset.No organization would let such a secret out.Fortunately, the Trident had already contacted the guild, and the customs officials had been bribed a few days ago.During this period of time, the port was semi-closed, and the staff of the Tomb Raiders Guild took over the area.After the huge dragon scale was lifted to the shore by the jack, it disintegrated on the spot.The members of the Tomb Raiders Guild moved together, like countless ants preparing to dismember the dragon.

Although it had been prepared for a long time, the strength of the dragon scale still exceeded expectations.The flames of the large torches were dazzling, and the chainsaw, which could easily cut through steel, could hardly even leave traces on it.Finally, a high-power laser cutting machine was delivered to the site to divide the dragon scale into a size that can be stored in the cargo box.

Sun Dasheng didn't have my recovery power, but although he was seriously injured, he didn't fall into a coma.Debriefing began on the ambulance.There are only two things that need to be reported, one is to successfully find the target secret treasure Tianbaokan Astrolabe, and the other is to be separated from me and Elina.

It's not that Sun Dasheng and the others were heartless, it's just that they had been besieged by piranhas at that time, even if they did find us, they would eat up us who were exposed to the outside world first.Moreover, the supplies on the ship were also not allowed, and it was impossible for a whole ship of people to stay and be buried with them.As a last resort, they had to return to the voyage on the one hand, and on the other hand, they sent a search fleet into the sea area of ​​Guixu again.

At the same time, the guild also faced a problem, that is, the Tianbaokan astrolabe they got back was actually a waste.Only Diaolong Tianguan in this world has the technology to use Tianbao to survey the astrolabe.It's like a group of people who went overseas with a key to find a safe containing their treasure, and when the safe was found, the key was lost.

The actual situation was much worse than I imagined, and Alina recovered quickly after waking up.But for the next half month, we have been living on this small island.At first, I was optimistic that there would definitely be ships passing by our place after a while—I forgot that this is the Guixu sea area known as the Bermuda Triangle.But half a month has passed, the sea is very clean, there is not even a shadow of a boat.I also gradually became a little anxious from the calmness before. Although I thought I could be better than Robinson, it didn't mean that I really wanted to be Robinson.

On the contrary, Elina seemed very calm—oh, it seemed that she was always so calm.We collect some sea objects and firewood every day.After my body recovers, it only takes an hour or two to do this.After that, there was endless silence, and staring at the sea in a daze.I used to watch TV and see someone going to a beautiful place and shouting that it was so beautiful, and I wanted to live here for the rest of my life.But now I realize that it was pure nonsense.No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you only need to look at it for a week and you will feel boring.On the first day, I thought the sea view here was pretty good, but now I just want to throw up when I look at the sea.

Seventeen bars have been drawn on the wooden board used for timing.It means that we have been in trouble for seventeen days.In fact, if you do the math, you really can't do much in seventeen days.Based on the situation here, the possibility of other ships passing by is basically zero.We can only wait for the guild's rescue.However, it takes fourteen or five days for a ship to go back and forth from the coral reef to S City, and it takes another four to five days to safely cross the coral reef.Calculated carefully, it will take at least 22 days for the guild to allow the re-arriving search and rescue ship to pass through the coral reef.That way we really don't need to worry.

"I said, it's not an option for us to wait like this." On the morning of No. 18, I said directly to Alina, "We have to make long-term preparations."

"Well, do you have any plans?" Alina nodded in agreement.

"Aside from other things, it's so uncomfortable to be exposed to the wind and sun every day here. The vegetation here is dense, and it shouldn't be a problem for us to build a log cabin here." I said.

"Indeed." Alina thought for a while and said, "We should also explore deeper. This small island is quite large, and there are many resources in it that have not been used. At least we always eat seafood like this. It is not good for the body. it is good."

Speaking of seafood is not good for the body, this is indeed a seemingly small problem, but it is actually not a small problem.Not to mention nutrition, eating too much seafood can easily cause diarrhea.My body didn't feel it, but Alina couldn't take it anymore.She has had diarrhea in her stomach for several days.It’s fine if you have diarrhea, but the point is that we are now on a deserted island, where we have nothing and naturally there is no toilet paper.Every time Elina can only wash directly with water.This kind of thing is very embarrassing for a girl.Although I can avoid it, I can see that she is quite concerned.And men eat seafood will also enhance sexual desire.This is not poisonous, my body naturally cannot produce any antibodies.It made me feel unbearably hot these days, and I felt that there was something wrong with the way I looked at Elina.Lonely men and widows stationed on a deserted island, it would be strange if nothing happened in a work of art.At this time, what should be thinking is not Robinson Crusoe, but Zhang Cuishan and his wife in Yitian Tulongji.

In the end we left a big bonfire on the shore, and a sign that we had been here.At least if there are search and rescue personnel, they won't miss it.After preparing these, Alina and I started to go deep into the jungle.This kind of tropical rain forest is actually quite difficult to walk. Our only weapons are two diving knives, which are not enough to open the way.Fortunately, both of us are flexible, and we walked in the dense forest for a whole morning.At noon, we made an amazing discovery - there are traces of human activities here.It may be inappropriate to say that it is a trace of human activities, and it should only be said that it is a trace of civilization.

In a pile of grass, we found a broken stele.There are blurry patterns on the stele. Although the content on it is already unrecognizable, it is certain that something is definitely recorded.Records are a manifestation of civilization. Wolves have a collective class hierarchy like humans, but they can't be called civilization.Because they have no heritage.And this kind of stone tablet used for recording is a symbol of real civilization.

This discovery shocked us. Since there is the first piece, there must be a second piece or more.We immediately started looking around, and sure enough, we found many more such steles here.They may have been the casualties of a large stele, but years of wind erosion have rendered them irrecoverable.This discovery made me both joy and panic. The joy is naturally knowing that I am not the only civilized creature on this island, while the panic is the natural reaction to the unknown existence.I have already encountered monsters like Zhu Jiuyin, so I would definitely not feel surprised to meet a group of cannibals here.
