Lin Qianqian happily said: "It's only on the deserted island that we can pick up things lightheartedly. Once back in the city, we feel it's not that interesting anymore."
Tang Xiaoguo nodded: "True!"
Lin Qianqian was full of expectations for the future: "We still have to study hard, then take the postgraduate entrance exam together and find good jobs!"
"Postgraduate entrance exam..." Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment: "Hey, Lu Zhe, do you want to take the postgraduate entrance exam? Lu Zhe, what are you doing?"
As several people chatted casually, they found that Lu Zhe had run to the pile of reefs ahead and started looking around.
"What's that thing?"
"Good stuff! Come and see!"
The few girls all crowded over to watch!
They saw that strange shellfish were densely growing on each reef, so dense that people with trypophobia would feel very uncomfortable looking at them!
But Lu Zhe's eyes lit up!
Jiang Yao twisted her body with a frown:
"Why are there so many mussels, I'm having trypophobia!"
"These things originally grew in groups on reefs. People by the seaside are too lazy to eat them! It's just that we hadn't found such a large mussel colony before. This time we came across it."
"That's great, there's enough to eat for a long time!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "With these mussels, we won't lack protein. Later when we have a pot, we can also use them to make mussel oil!"
"There's a whole lot here!"
"It's a pity there's no garlic, vermicelli and spicy powder, otherwise I could eat them every day without getting tired of them!"
"Shall we take some down to eat?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "The main tasks today are to find water sources and survivors! We can come back later and build a temporary camp near here. By then we can eat whatever we want!"
"Let's give it a name, how about Mussel Beach?"
"Sounds good!"
Lin Qianqian took notes of the location of Mussel Beach in her notebook, and they continued walking forward!
After walking another two kilometers or so, they finally discovered traces of human activity!
"Look, coconuts!"
It wasn't odd to occasionally see coconuts on the beach, but seeing over thirty coconuts on the beach spelling out an "SOS" was definitely worth noting!
Ning Shu couldn't help marveling: "Tsk tsk, look at them, rich family, even using coconuts to spell the distress signal!"
They hurried over!
Lu Zhe discovered that it wasn't just the distress signal made out of coconuts!
Next to a protruding rock, there were also several scattered coconuts. On closer look, almost all the coconuts showed signs of having been smashed, but only a third had been smashed open!
It was evident how much effort the survivors had made trying to open these coconuts!
But these coconuts were still not enough to prove that the castaway here was the flight attendant!
Shortly after, Tang Xiaoguo discovered something more convincing: "Look at this!"
Lu Zhe took it and had a look. It was a bag of Lay's tomato flavored potato chips!
There was still a faint potato chip smell inside, but no visible remnants left!
Lu Zhe said: "If it had drifted in from the sea, the smell would definitely have evaporated completely! The remaining smell means these were eaten recently!"
Jiang Yao said: "Look, the bag was turned inside out, all the crumbs licked clean!"
Ning Shu thought for a moment: "It must have been that flight attendant sister!"
She shouted hoarsely: "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?!"
The other girls also started shouting around!
Lu Zhe didn't shout, but kept searching. However, there was no echo at all!
Next, he discovered something even more convincing:
A blue flight attendant's towing luggage.
He opened it!
Inside were empty bread bags, beef jerky bags and ham peel bags, chocolate wrappers, and a 2L special mineral water bottle for civil aviation, as well as an empty 2L orange juice bottle.
No telling how much had been left previously.
Lu Zhe clearly remembered that on the plane, the flight attendant had helped to fill Ning Shu's water bottle using just that kind of bottle!
Also, the orange juice was the kind of standard bottled juice served to passengers!
Lu Zhe felt slightly relieved. It seemed her survival opening was much better than his!
But these foods would soon be eaten up. What would happen next?
Could she hold out for eight days?
Next, he noticed her wallet in the backpack, which made his heart suddenly tense up!
Just then, Lin Qianqian called out: "Everyone come quickly and see this!"
They all walked over to find burnt marks amidst some rocks in the center, with a large seashell on top, cooking some unidentifiable objects!
Lu Zhe determined that the thin wisp of smoke he had seen earlier was probably from this campfire!
Seeing this, Ning Shu excitedly said: "Amazing, she even managed to start a fire!"
Lu Zhe picked up the cracked cell phone battery and half a chocolate candy wrapper nearby: "She was very lucky that her phone had battery power left and wasn't soaked in seawater, though we don't know if she managed to make any calls."
Tang Xiaoguo exclaimed in surprise: "Then where did the flight attendant sister go?"
Lin Qianqian thought and said: "Could she have gone fishing or into the woods to look for food?"
Lin Qianqian touched the cold campfire, somewhat worriedly said: "But... this campfire seems to have been out for a long time! If she went looking for food, there'd be no need to put out the campfire!"
Jiang Yao thought and said: "Could she have discovered a better place to survive, and moved her camp?"
Tang Xiaoguo said: "That's possible, didn't we also move our camp before?"
Lu Zhe took out Ruan Bing's backpack: "If we were moving camp, would we leave this backpack behind?"
The girls cried out in surprise: "Goodness, it really is the flight attendant's rolling luggage!"
Lin Qianqian thought and said: "This is a very important survival supply, it couldn't possibly be abandoned no matter what!"
Jiang Yao guessed: "Could the rescue team have come and taken her away? She figured the backpack was useless so she just left it here!"
Lu Zhe shook his head, and took out Ruan Bing's wallet: "What about this then?"
Everyone was stunned!
He opened it!
Inside were her ID, work pass, bank cards!
Other things could be discarded, but not these!
Ning Shu said: "When the rescue team came, could she have fainted and the rescuers didn't notice this bag?"
Lu Zhe examined the beach and shook his head: "I don't see any signs of foreign ships docking, or other people's footprints!"
Just then, Lu Zhe noticed the things being cooked in the seashell!
They were mushrooms!
Lin Qianqian also discovered the food inside: "I recognize them, they're shiitake mushrooms!"
Looking at these mushrooms, they did resemble ordinary shiitake mushrooms, but having been cooked, they were somewhat misshapen and distorted!
Lu Zhe stretched out his hand, and used two fingers to pinch out the rotten food!
Information about this stuff popped up in his mind!
"Ding! Hazardous item! Amanita pantherina, contains nerve toxin, hallucinogenic!"
Lu Zhe immediately threw away the mushroom in his hand!
Next, a lot of information about this mushroom appeared in his mind!
Toxic, hallucinogenic!
In many places, criminals even grow this mushroom as a drug substitute!
The fact that the mushroom was being cooked in the seashell meant the flight attendant may have consumed this kind of mushroom.
Could the flight attendant have kicked the bucket!
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
