Chapter 34: Elsewhere
He didn't know how long he slept before he woke up groggily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He looked outside the dinghy. The artificial sun has ended its twelve-hour illumination period and has entered a dormant period. Chen Tianci didn't know what time it was, but he felt that his stomach was rumbling and hungry.
Wuji didn't wake up at this time, Chen Tianci sat alone in the dinghy, feeling as if he was back on the palm island. It was the most frightening moment of his life, and it was also the moment when he grew up the fastest.
He shook his head, put aside all his negative thoughts, and got up to change into a wetsuit. When he and Shen Ziyi left this temporary habitat before, they didn't store any food. Only some of the necessities of life were hidden in a shallow pit.
Chen Tianci dug a shallow pit, took out all the necessities of life, and picked out knives, forks and pots for cooking rice from the boat. He washed the equipment with clean water and jumped out of the aqueous layer in search of edible deep-sea creatures.
In the deep sea, the deeper the water, the more food is scarce. Chen Tianci swam a long distance before he found a school of hairtails.
Hairtail fish is also known as saury, waka, fat belt, oil belt, tooth ribbon, etc. It has a fierce personality, with a flattened body like a band, silvery-gray throughout, light gray dorsal and pectoral fins with very small spots, and a black tail. The tip of the head and the mouth are large, and the tail gradually taperes.
They are generally twice as tall as their heads, and before the nuclear war, they were about 1 meter long. But after the nuclear war, they were affected by nuclear radiation, and their bodies have grown to more than three meters long.
This fish has small spines on its abdomen and swims in the water without fins, but by swinging its body. They are poor swimmers and have a habit of moving vertically day and night, so they inhabit the ocean and the lower layers in groups during the day and the bottom of the sea at night.
When the hairtail is stationary, the head is upwards and the body is vertical, and only the dorsal and pectoral fins are waved to maintain balance. Against these fish, Chen Tianci's chances of winning are actually not very large, because they are a group, and the strength of each ribbon fish is equivalent to the level of the first order, the second order, or even the first order.
Although Chen Tianci is a first-order fourth-order martial artist. But after all, ants bite elephants to death, and let him deal with a group of ferocious kelp fish alone, which is completely an act of seeking death.
But fortunately, when these fish are vertical, their eyes will only watch the movement above their heads, waiting for the prey to appear. This gave Chen Tianci an opportunity.
He quietly approached the nearest hairtail, suddenly sprang out, and smashed the hairtail with a thunderous punch, and ran away with it. By the time the other ribbon fish reacted, Chen Tianci had already run away.
Chen Tianci succeeded and ran quickly without a shadow. When the group of hairtails found out that the members of the group were missing, Chen Tianci had already disemboweled, washed and baked the thick hairtail, and ate it in a few moments.
Chen Tianci, who was full of food and drink, looked around, and the emptiness in his heart not only did not weaken, but increased a few points. Usually at this time, he and Shen Ziyi must be sitting opposite each other, you look at me, I look at you, and from time to time they tease each other, and they are happy.
But right now, in the empty space, there is only Chen Tianci alone, and even Wuji has never shown signs of waking up. Chen Tianci decided that he could not stay in this place any longer. Everything here would always remind him of Shen Ziyi, which would seriously interfere with his emotions and make him unable to do other things with peace of mind.
"I had to find a new place and rebuild a habitat." Chen Tianci muttered.
Thinking of this, he quickly got into the dinghy, clicked on the map, and looked at it carefully. He is now located in the Luzon Trough, and a little further south is the deeper Manila Trench.
The Manila Trench is located in the eastern part of the South China Sea, in the western part of the sunken Philippine Island, and has exceeded 7,000 meters at its deepest point after a nuclear war. Such a place is the most suitable place for Chen Tianci to hide.
However, the Manila Trench is caused by the subduction zone, where the Eurasian plate submerges below the Philippine active zone, so earthquakes are highly susceptible to earthquakes around the trench. Chen Tianci thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind.
He then looked elsewhere. But as he looked hundreds of square kilometers around, he couldn't find a more suitable hiding place than the Manila Trench.
Because the rebels are so powerful in this region that they have occupied hundreds of cities. The area west of the Luzon Trough has largely been occupied by the rebels. And the northern part of the Luzon Trough is the broken Huaxia Continent, where there is nuclear radiation everywhere, and Chen Tianci can know without thinking much that there must be mutated beasts everywhere in that place.
As soon as he thought of what happened to him on Palm Island, he immediately dismissed the idea of going north. That kind of place is far from what he can go to now. To the east, this direction was not put in the plan by Chen Tianci.
Because his relatives are still imprisoned in the area west of the Luzon Trough, if he goes east, once the opportunity to save people arises, but because he is far away in the east, he misses the opportunity, that is the thing that makes Chen Tianci want to cry without tears. He has been busy for so long, and he is planning to set up a big chess game in Huaishui City, in order to rescue the trapped clansmen?
Therefore, Chen Tianci almost immediately rejected his plan to go east. At this point, he is left with only the Manila Trench on the south side to consider. He thought about it, clicked on the map, and analyzed the situation in the Manila Trench in detail.
The length of the Manila Trench at this time was about 400 to 450 kilometers, and the bottom of the trench was more than 10 kilometers wide. The substrate of the central basin is predominantly brown coccidal slurry containing volcanic ash.
Chen Tianci judged from this that the bottom of the Manila Trench must not be visited. He had to avoid these dangerous places and find a suitable location that could cleverly avoid the high-risk areas of earthquakes.
He took a closer look at the situation around the Manila Trench and found that the area was prone to volcanoes and earthquakes. It can also cause a strong tsunami on the surface of the sea. The tectonic plate movement has increased the height of the surrounding mountains year by year.
When Chen Tianci saw this, he suddenly noticed a subtle detail, that is, there was a negative gravity anomaly in this area. This situation suddenly made Chen Tianci happy in his heart.
Anomalies in nature have been given many reasons in the past. There are many theories and theories, but in fact, after this era, people have realized that this is because of the existence of vitality.
And what is the vitality? Yuan Qi is a strange energy in nature. It's like people used to practice martial arts, and after practicing to a high level, they will naturally feel some kind of magical energy in nature.
At that time, the martial arts people named this energy Yuanqi. But as everyone knows, centuries later, after hiding in the deep sea to survive, with the help of superb technology, they really discovered the existence of Yuanqi.
This energy, known as the force of nature, is another magical energy that human beings have discovered so far in addition to cosmic energy. Some people also believe that Yuan Qi is actually one of the cosmic energies, but after being transformed by the earth's natural world, it has become Yuan Qi.
Chen Tianci didn't know if this statement was true, but he was sure that the Manila Trench must be hiding a vein of Yuanqi. This major discovery immediately made Chen Tianci make up his mind.
