Chapter 30: The First Adventure
In the early hours of the morning, Xu Wu got up early in the morning, quickly dealt with personal problems, and immediately threw himself into the island game. As for why you ask why you don't have to send your sister to college, because last night my father sent Xu Yao to the place where the university is located overnight, and by the way, he stayed there for one night, helped pack his luggage in the morning, and then rushed back again, so he only needed to take half a day off.
As for why he wasn't asked to send it over? Probably because he didn't have a driver's license. Let's not talk about the reason why I didn't take the test, no one will blow up their own black history.
The characters in the anime who blow themselves up at every turn are two-dimensional warriors, so it's naturally impossible to learn.
Last night, Phantom Moon suddenly told him that the island ecosystem was fully covered and that he was about to unlock the Adventure Event, and he was excited.
It's like seeing a notice of a big update to the game.,On the eve of the new update.,He couldn't sleep all night.。 I fell asleep in a daze, and woke up quickly.
The interface of the island was quickly activated, and the entire island has now long since escaped the initial predicament, the loess was bare, and the appearance of abject poverty has been replaced by a large area of vegetation.
The surging river, flowing from east to west, crossed the mountains, passed through the swamps, and was scattered in the forest.
To the left and right of the forest are two large plains, one of which is the first grassland to be established, and now a wide variety of creatures live on it. The other is the world of flowers, shrubs, and insects, which was built on the basis of rivers that flow to the sea.
In front of and behind the forest is a small swamp and a sparse woodland adjacent to the beach. Although small, the swamp is known as the kidney of the earth, where all the water sources on the island meet, and where the water is purified. It is also a habitat for all kinds of waterfowl poisons, and the swamp where thousands of birds fly together is one of the most beautiful places on the island, but also the most dangerous place.
The beach in the southwest is probably the most barren part of the island, with little water, some desertification, and high soil salinity due to waves, making it difficult for many vegetation to grow on it. However, it is precisely because of this that it has formed its own characteristics. Sea buckthorn, coconut palm, caragana, lizard, crab, seagull... It creates an ecology that is completely different from the surrounding area.
The east and northeast sides are basically mountains, and the highest places are covered with snow all year round, and Xu Wu planted coniferous plants such as cedar and welcome pine, as well as cold-tolerant plants such as plum, snow lotus, and saffron. Snow foxes, snow wolves, snow hares, bears and other hardy animals have also been gradually put into the mountains, constituting a unique ecology in the mountains.
Although he almost used up his resources when healing amber, he still gradually replenished the types of creatures on the original basis.
Just like the last time he was in distress in the woods, he found that he was missing some tools when he tried to climb a tree. After calming down and thinking about it, if there was a common vine in the forest at that time, he would definitely be able to climb it.
So he deliberately scattered all kinds of seeds all over the forest, such as small white vines, yellow vines, clematis, grapes, Lingxiao, pumpkins, etc., to let them grow freely.
The grasslands are naturally replenished with more varieties of grass and creatures such as cattle, sheep, rhinos, and cheetahs.
However, in these poor days, he invested the most in the flower plain and the river and sea basin.
The Flower Plain to the southeast (because it is mainly planted with flowers, it is an alluvial plain, so it is named.) Crossed by a large river, unlike the forest, this river that starts from the mountains, flows through the mountains, and passes through the swamps does not stop at the plains. It also marched non-stop towards the sea of stars, becoming the first river on the island to flow into the sea.
There are naturally all kinds of freshwater fish in the river, but the carp, guppies, and hulks that have been invested in the past are certainly not entirely suitable for survival in places where freshwater and seawater meet.
The difference in osmotic pressure is the main reason.
As they evolved, marine fish had a physiological system to filter the salt of seawater, which was able to filter out excess salt while inhaling seawater. Thus maintaining fluid density in the body. However, freshwater fish do not have such a structure, and naturally they will be dehydrated in seawater, and the osmotic pressure in the body will increase, resulting in death.
In order to prevent algae blooms at the estuary and causing red tides, Xu Wu put in some fish that live in shallow waters in the estuary and surrounding waters.
(Actually, I'm not sure if it happens, but the red tide in life occurs because of the pollution of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, which allows algae to bloom.) However, if there are no consumers in the water, it will probably continue to accumulate and breed. )
Like milkfish, spotted catfish, perch, barramundi and the like.
At the same time, polyps are sown on the reefs in the adjacent sea area as a pavement, and a large number of seagrasses and marine animals are introduced.
He realized that he had missed something when he still couldn't reach the situation where he had been able to cover the entire island after all the areas were planted with plants and no area was full of creatures. Finally, I looked at the Flower Plains and realized that the surrounding sea area had not yet been put into life.
In fact, when Xu Wu devoted his attention to the sea, there were already some plants here, that is, various algae. Through the flow of rivers, some of the green algae and red algae that he had previously put on the islands have already multiplied in the sea on their own.
This gave him a good biological base, and naturally, he kept putting all kinds of creatures from low to high.
Supplemental algae: kelp (brown algae), filamentous algae, nori, rope algae, macroalgae, sargassum...... (I didn't make up the names, but the people who named them were basically named according to the shape.) )
Echinoderms: starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.
Cnidaritarians: Polyps.
Arthropods: prawns, lobsters, blue crabs, Japanese cockroaches, etc.
Molluscs: squid, conch, oysters, abalone, etc.
Chordates (fish): clownfish, green pufferfish, grouper, flounder, semi-slippery sole, pufferfish, pomfret oval, large yellow croaker, sea bass, cobia – Xu Wu was drooling into the fry at that time.
Chordates (reptiles): Sea turtles.
Chordates (birds): seagulls.
Chordates (mammals): dolphins, killer whales (the last fish to be put in when they are in number)
Anyway, he was busy for a month or two, starting from scratch and building the island little by little. Looking back now, I just feel that everything was so dreamy.
It's just strange that Xu Wu opened the island and found that the entire interface hadn't changed much, and it felt the same as together.
Xu Wu hurriedly asked Phantom Moon, "What's the use of unlocking things?"
Phantom Moon appeared with a cup of coffee, glanced at Xu Wu and said, "The trigger time of the adventure event is uncertain, and I don't know when it will come out." As for the local time control, it can only be used on the island creatures, it is to consume biomass to control the change of biological time, the consumption is relatively large, and your current biomass is probably enough to promote the accelerated growth of organisms for one hour. ”
Xu Wu looked at the 20,000 biomass, and was a little speechless about the consumption of this time control.
"So what you told me last night was just a piece of nonsense? Actually, nothing has changed?" Xu Wu grumbled at Phantom Moon with a disappointed expression.
Why did he almost not sleep?
It's just that just when Xu Wu was extremely disappointed, a black spot suddenly floated outside the island. The black dot seems to be being beaten by the waves, and keeps getting closer to the island.
Xu Wu enlarged the projection, kept narrowing the distance between him and the black dot, and soon saw the true face of the black dot.
It was a capsized yacht with three men and two women on it, all holding planks in their hands, rowing frantically in the direction of the island, which seemed to be the people who had been shipwrecked here.
The wreck of the yacht came to a halt, and the five people on it went into the water one after another, swimming towards the island, for which it was a blessing in misfortune to encounter such an apparently alive island.
As the five of them landed on the island, Phantom Moon suddenly spoke: "Island owner, the first adventure event is triggered, please deal with it yourself, if you need help, just say it, I may not be able to help anyway." ”
"This is an adventure, but speaking of which, the place where they landed is not good, they actually went ashore on the northwest side, the place is high, it is still a grassland to go inside, and the water source is quite far away. Xu Wu analyzed the map of the island, and was not optimistic about the survivability of the five of them on the island.
Just as Xu Wu was about to help them, Xu Wu's phone rang suddenly, he hurriedly answered, only to hear the other side say: "Xiao Wu, are you free now?" A batch of stray dogs [Huo 1] suddenly came to the store, I can't handle it alone, if you have time to come over and help, I will calculate overtime pay for you." ”
Xu Wu glanced at what was happening on the island, covered his phone with his hand, and whispered to Phantom Moon, "Can you ignore this so-called adventure?"
Phantom Moon shook her head and said: "If the island owner does not intervene, it will only develop on its own, and it will not have any impact on the island owner himself, but it may have a certain impact on the island itself, after all, it is an external factor." ”
Xu Wu glanced at the five people who had just climbed onto the rocky shore, and did not think that they could have any drastic impact on the ecology of the grassland. Could it be that five people can still kill all the rabbits, voles, cheetahs, and rhinoceros on the grassland?
Thinking like this, Xu Wu said into his mobile phone: "Okay, Sister Xing, I'll come over here." ”
Since he agreed, Xu Wu naturally immediately changed his clothes and set off to help in the pet store. Sister Xing shouted so urgently, probably really troublesome.
Xu Wu took a step and ran to the door of the pet store, and found a large pickup truck parked outside the door, with cages on it, about seven or eight, all full of dogs.
The dog was in a strange state, with red eyes, paws constantly scraping the ground, and a menacing growl from time to time.
Some of them were already yelling incessantly, scratching the cage constantly, as if they were going to die in the next second.
Bypassing the pickup, Xu Wu saw Sister Xing standing beside the car with a sad face, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Sister Xing? Why are there so many dogs who seem to have rabies?"
Sister Xing shook her head, saying that she didn't know what was going on, but pointed to the uncle next to her and explained: "These dogs were all sent by him, saying that they were just caught around here, and they are not all stray dogs, many of them are pet dogs from our store." Obviously they're all healthy, but I don't know what's going on, and I'm going crazy collectively today. Running around, and looking like he wants to bite. ”
Xu Wu looked at the uncle in his overalls and wanted to ask him what was going on.
The uncle introduced himself: "Hello, I am the person in charge of the guidance, overall coordination and organization and scheduling of the urban management supervision and administrative law enforcement in this urban area, my name is Li Dali. Usually everyone calls me Li Chengguan. Boy, you're here to help control the dogs, aren't you?
Xu Wu looked at Li Chengguan, whose body was a little out of shape, clenched his fists and felt his physical state, nodded, and signaled that there was no problem.
Sister Xing patted Xu Wu on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at Xiao Wu's thin arms and legs, but he is energetic, he usually helps me control my pets." ”
After speaking, Sister Xing explained to Xu Wu: "Xiao Wu, this matter is not difficult, Li Chengguan has tools, you take a rod, control the dog's head, let it not move, and then I will inject a sedative." ”
Xu Wu was clear, although he didn't know why so many dogs had gone crazy all of a sudden, but the most important thing now was to calm them down first.
He nodded and promised, "Okay, leave it to me." ”
Under Li Chengguan's suspicious gaze, Xu Wu took over the iron rod that he usually uses to catch stray dogs, jumped into the car first, and said to a Shar Pei dog: "Sister Xing, are the sedatives ready? Let's start when it's okay." ”
Sister Xing took the medical kit, took out the syringe, looked at the size of the Shar Pei dog, estimated the weight, and took out the amount that would never be fatal, and said to Xu Wu: "Okay, you can control it." ”
Xu Wu nodded, the iron rod in his hand slowly poked into the cage, and the circle was aimed at the head of the Shar Pei dog, and when its venting action was finished, the circle was directly put into the neck of the Shar Pei dog, and then pressed down hard, pressing the whole Shar Pei dog down.
Not to mention the crazy Shar Pei, even if he is sober and is treated like this, he will struggle wildly. But no matter how much the Shar Pei struggled, the iron ring around his neck still pressed against him, and he didn't move.
Xu Wu felt the strength of the iron rod in his hand weakening, and immediately shouted: "Sister Xing, it has no strength, you can come over now." ”
Sister Xing listened, immediately walked to the side of the iron cage, pulled out the syringe, vented the bubbles, wiped and disinfected the injection site of the Shar Pei dog, and then lifted the needle in her hand and pushed the sedative into the dog's body.
Then several of them were processed. Xu Wu controlled, and Sister Xing inserted a pin on the side, and the cooperation was very smooth.
After relaxing slightly, Xu Wu turned to Li Chengguan and asked, "Uncle Li, why are there so many mad dogs all of a sudden? And why are they all sent to us? We are mainly only here to sell pets." Isn't there a special pet hospital for running away?"
Li Chengguan controlled the other dog on the side and said, "I don't know the reason why they suddenly went crazy, let's check it later." That's not all, it's just some of the mad dogs that are relatively close to your store, and the rest of the places are sent to the nearest place where they can be received for treatment.
You don't know, last night, these dogs suddenly went crazy, all of them ran around, and some of them even bit people, I suspect some kind of virus infection caused it. I also saw a few foreigners sneaking around the streets yesterday, and it may be the virus they brought. ”
Xu Wu was not interested in Li Chengguan's conspiracy theory, although he did not rule out this possibility, but now he wanted to know more: "Uncle Li, did you say last night? What time is it?"
"I think about it, it must have been around 1 a.m., and suddenly I got a call saying that reinforcements were needed, and there were not enough people. I went out overnight to work overtime to help. ”
It's about the same time. No, it's impossible, the game is just a game after all, and it's a little magical on the island.
Xu Wu asked again, "Uncle Li, did you say that there are dogs going crazy in many places?"
"I don't know about this, anyway, I know, at least these five districts, this has happened. Li Chengguan's answer caused Sister Xing to exclaim: "Five districts? ”
"That's an exaggeration. It can't really be some kind of virus that suddenly spreads widely. Xu Wu let go of the Labrador who had just been anesthetized and walked to the next pet dog again.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Xu Wu motioned for him to listen to the phone and be busy, and Sister Xing waved her hand in agreement.
When I connected the phone, the first words that came out of it were: "Island owner, you come back quickly!"
