Xu Wu pushed open the door, pulled the curtains open, and opened the window to let in a sigh of relief. Then he reopened the island interface and said to the manifested Phantom Moon, "Thank you, Phantom Moon, for helping a lot. ”

Phantom Moon waved her hand, indicating that it didn't matter.

Xu Wu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, and he opened his mouth for a long time and spit out a sentence: "Oh... Okay. ”

Yes, what can I repay Phantom Moon?

Xu Wu smiled self-deprecatingly, set his eyes on his island, and tried again.

The sun rose again above the sea, and then quickly disappeared into the snow-capped mountains.

The snow-capped mountains were the last area to be noticed by Xu Wu, and they are also the places with the least number of species. The altitude is extremely high, the snow is covered all year round, the oxygen is thin, and there are not many plants and animals suitable for living here.

Snow lotus is the first creature that Xu Wu thought of, saying that it is a lotus, but it is actually a kind of Asteraceae plant, which grows in the alpine snow.

Relying on the special structure, the snow lotus can grow in the climate is changeable, hot and cold impermanence, alternating rain and snow, the highest monthly average temperature is 3-5 °C, the lowest monthly average temperature is -19 to -21 °C, the annual precipitation is about 800 mm, the frost-free period is only about 50 days, and the soil is mainly alpine meadow soil on the harsh plateau.

Snow is like a silver dragon on the mountain, guarding everything on the island and giving it a chance to survive. Although the island's water source was originally created by Xu Wu himself, later on, as the game progresses, the snow that gradually generates on the mountains becomes the most important source of water on the island.

The rivers formed by the melting snow nourish everything on the island. Without this endless source of living water, the improvement of the environment alone would have made Xu Wu bankrupt.

Xu Wu looked at the vivid scenery on the island and suddenly realized that he didn't know what he should do at all. Fatigued?

For the next three days, Xu Wu's life was monotonous, as the ecology of the island gradually stabilized, and he had no idea what he should do.

In addition to working part-time, filling his stomach, taking a look at the data changes on the island, and calling his sister at night to ask about the situation, Xu Wu found that he couldn't find anything he could do.

Especially on days when there is no work, I am even more idle and a little panicked.

"Island, you are really guilty, helped me quit my Internet addiction, but are you ready to abandon me?" Xu Wu skipped the island projection in the air, and said to himself a little sadly.

He tried to re-enter his old home life, but found that he couldn't find his old feelings at all.

I seem to have really changed a little, could it be that my body has become healthier, and even my emotions have changed?

Phantom Moon's voice interrupted Xu Wu's contemplation, and she said, "Island Master, the last survivor is also dead. Next ......"

"Ahh Xu Wu picked up the phone, and the word sister was displayed on the screen.

Is something wrong?Xu Wu looked at the sunlight outside the window, it was just close to noon, and Xu Yao should not have been out of class for a long time.

"Hey, what's wrong?" As soon as Xu Wu spoke, Xu Yao's cry came from his mobile phone: "Brother, Amber seems to have had an accident." ”

Xu Wu's face changed, and he rushed directly to the window, and asked in a hurried tone: "What's wrong? Stomach pain, stomach infection, or rabbit plague." No, there shouldn't be rabbit plague in this season. ”

Xu Yao gasped and said with some panic: "I... I didn't know, but when I came back from dinner today, Amber kept screaming, as if she was uncomfortable. I've checked it, and I don't see any wounds on it. ”

"Are there no wounds? screaming and feeling uncomfortable? Could it be a parasitic infection? Yaoyao, do you check again, and focus on whether your hands and feet are red and swollen, whether there are any parasites in the outer ears of your ears and nose?"

According to Xu Wu's instructions, Xu Yao and her roommates inspected Amber together. Xu Yao picked up Amber, who was a little irritable, while Meng Ting began to examine the rabbit's hands, feet, ears, and nose on the side.

After some tossing, apart from Amber's muffled cry of being scratched, the two didn't notice anything unusual.

Xu Yao said anxiously into the phone: "Brother, no, I can't find any abnormal skin at all, I'll take a picture for you." ”

Xu Wu looked at a series of photos sent on WeChat, and after a cursory look, he really didn't see any abnormal symptoms.

After Xu Yao sent the photo, he said directly: "Brother, don't you know rabbit language? You directly asked Amber what's wrong, it started last night, and it kept grinding its teeth." I came back today and was also emotionally unstable, and I didn't know what happened to it at all. ”

"Okay, I'll try. You give your phone to Amber. ”

"Okay, you say. Xu Yao put the phone on the side of the amber and reminded.

After Xu Wu heard Xu Yao's words, he opened his mouth and asked, "Amber, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"Giggle...... Haw. After grinding his teeth for a while, he screamed twice, and his voice was very urgent, and it sounded very urgent.

Xu Wu turned his gaze for help to Phantom Moon, waiting for an answer.

"That's the sound of courtship, this rabbit is in heat. Phantom Moon sat on a couch and explained as she watched the TV series on the virtual TV.

"By the way, island owner, ...... on the island today" Before he finished speaking, Xu Wu waved his hand and said, "Let's wait until I finish the call, it's not in a hurry, right?"

Phantom Moon looked at Xu Wu with a strange expression, nodded, and said, "Well, don't worry, even if you don't deal with it, there won't be any problems." ”

Xu Wu put down his slightly suspended heart and said, "That's good." Yaoyao, here's how it happened......"

After briefly telling the reason for the incident, Xu Yao rubbed Amber's rabbit ears and said with an unbelievable expression: "Brother, you mean, Amber went into estrus?"

"Estrus, Yaoyao, are you saying that Amber has entered estrus!" Meng Ting grabbed Xu Yao's shoulders with excitement, and looked at Xu Yao's eyes with glowing eyes.

The strong desire emanating from Meng Ting's eyes frightened Xu Yao half a step back.

Xu Yao nodded, her voice trembling slightly: "My brother, that's what I said." ”

"Great! Tomorrow is the holiday, how about going home with me. Ah, it's sure to be a great weekend. It's so good to be in estrus!" The excited Meng Ting even changed her voice, and her distorted voice reached Xu Wu's ears through the mobile phone, no different from the male voice.

Xu Wu shouted into his mobile phone: "What are you going to go home, Yaoyao, who are you going to go home with!"

Xu Yao broke away from Mengting's hand, put down the amber, and shouted into the phone: "That's my roommate, female." Her family is in the pet business, and it used to be just for the purpose of breeding amber. ”

"Okay, girl, stay safe on the road. Amber is a hare, and a rabbit can only solve problems, not reproduce, you know?" Xu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and admonished.

After Xu Yao relayed Xu Wu's words, Meng Ting shouted in surprise: "Hare, how can Amber be a hare, it is so small. It's just a little longer than the ears. No matter how you look at it, it's a rabbit. ”

The sound was very loud and reached Xu Wu's ears directly.

"Yes, it's a hare, it's just that it was a little malnourished and developed late, and now the bones are set, and it's hard to change anymore. Xu Wu spoke, his voice a little low.

"Hare, that's a bit of a problem, the house is full of rabbits. When Meng Ting heard Xu Wu's words, she was immediately a little distressed.

Xu Yao asked suspiciously: "Aren't rabbits and hares all rabbits? ”

Xu Wu explained on the phone: "There are 22 pairs of rabbit chromosomes and 24 pairs of hare chromosomes, and they are reproductively isolated from each other and cannot produce offspring. But it's just to solve the emotional problem of estrus, even if it's just a rabbit, it doesn't matter. You know what reproductive isolation is, right?"

Although Xu Yao has studied biology in junior high school and high school, she returned it to the teacher after the exam, and the specific meaning of the word reproductive isolation is not very clear.

If she didn't understand, she asked, Xu Yao said suspiciously: "I forgot a little, don't horses and donkeys be able to give birth to offspring?

Xu Wu changed his posture, took away his somewhat red elbow, and continued to explain: "Horses and donkeys are reproductively isolated, and although they can produce offspring, they cannot reproduce. Rabbits and hares are the same, they have different numbers of chromosomes, and their germ cells cannot be fertilized. After all, rabbits have only 22 chromosomes in sperm or eggs, while rabbits have 24 chromosomes, and in this case, the extra two chromosomes will be difficult to distribute during division, resulting in abnormal cells. Of course, it is also possible that the sperm and egg of both parties cannot be fertilized at all because of the different recognition proteins on the outside. ”

"Then what should I do?" Xu Yao was suddenly a little annoyed, although she basically didn't understand what her brother said, but the conclusion was that rabbits and hares couldn't reproduce.

Meng Ting tentatively touched Amber on the side, and said at the same time: "That's it, Yaoyao, I'll tell my parents, let them go with us to catch hares, and let Amber choose when the time comes." By the way, how about we go on a picnic?"

Xu Yao imagined the scene depicted by Mengting, and immediately felt that this idea was simply amazing!

"It's good if my uncle and aunt think it's okay. Is it really okay to just trouble your parents like this? Or let's just buy a rabbit and forget it, didn't my brother say it? Rabbits can also solve the problem. ”

Meng Ting shook her head firmly and refused: "Absolutely not, it was not easy for Amber to have the desire to reproduce, how can I kill this opportunity in advance, no matter what I encounter, I will help Amber find a spouse." ”

Xu Yao looked at Meng Ting's glowing eyes and shook her head with a wry smile, she really didn't know who was its owner.

"If Amber gives birth to a baby, I'll give you one, and you can pick it up when the time comes. Xu Yao squatted down beside Meng Ting, stroked Amber's head, comforted it, and said to her roommate.

Meng Ting gave up her intention to touch Amber for the time being, grabbed Xu Yao's arm and asked, "Really?

After Xu Yao nodded in confirmation, Meng Ting shouted excitedly: "Great, I also want a little amber!"

said that Xu Wu hung up the phone with a smile on the corner of his mouth when he listened to his sister and roommate discussing the picnic. Turning to Phantom Moon and asking, "What's wrong?"

Phantom Moon pointed to the southwest side of the island and said, "A small boat docked more than ten minutes ago, and five humans landed on the island. ”

"The southwest side? Yes, the east side is full of cliffs by the sea, and it is really difficult to go ashore. I'll see how it's going. Xu Wu zoomed in on the southwest island and tried to find traces of landing, but found no other traces of human activity except for a few crabs that had just landed.

Hurriedly asked, "Phantom Moon, where is it?" ”

Phantom Moon stretched out her hand and scratched the projection, then zoomed in to reveal a skeleton in a corner of the forest, presumably a male.

The bones were covered with maggots, crawling all over the rotting body. Even through the projection, Xu Wu could smell a corpse smell.

"Are you dead? what about the others?" Xu Wu asked, turning his head, holding back the intense discomfort coming from his stomach, to Phantom Moon.

"There's one more here. Phantom Moon swiped the screen to the side, and another more restrictive picture appeared in front of Xu Wu.

The fragmented pieces of the corpse, looking at the fabric on the side, are probably a woman. It was also a badly decomposed corpse, crawling with all kinds of insects.

Xu Wu ran directly to the window, inhaling heavily, gasping and beating his heartbeat, constantly hitting his head.

"Why are they all dead people! This is the second adventure, right? Five people, you just show me two dead people first." After Xu Wu calmed down, he complained directly to Phantom Yue.

Phantom Moon spread out her hands, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with her mouth closed: "I can do it too, the other three people have already left the island, and you can't see it if you want to." ”

It turns out that you can leave the adventure event. Xu Wu refreshed his cognition of the adventure and looked at the broken corpse on the projection of the island again.

It can be regarded as getting used to it, Xu Wu, who can barely accept it, slid the picture with his hand, wanting to replace the image with something else. You can't keep looking at this picture, right?

It's just that Xu Wu didn't slide for long, and his fingers suddenly stopped.

A black SLR is shown lying in the bushes not far from the corpse.

Cameras?Female?How is it a little familiar? Of the five people, two died, one man and one woman. Escaped three and left the same day?

Xu Wu suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Miss Zhao, and once again forcibly endured his nausea, rummaging around the corpse.

The press card that fell near the neck, but unfortunately the front of the photo is not visible. The broken yellow dress, but unfortunately I didn't ask Miss Zhao what clothes the female colleague who was killed was wearing before. A dropped SLR, a voice recorder found farther away......

Fragments of man-made objects and traces all explain to Xu Wu that the identity of the deceased person is most likely a journalist. If, if not by coincidence, it may even be Miss Zhao's colleague - Emmi.

"How is that possible? When is it now, and how long has Miss Zhao been back? If the adventure on the island was really the arrival of reporters on the island, how could it have happened until now. No, it won't. Xu Wu said to himself.

Just saying that, he still has a faint worry in his heart, what if it's true?
