was sold by his parents to the owner of the farm for 500,000 synthetic kidneys, and Lin Qiao killed someone by mistake.

Before the federal police could investigate, she ventured aboard a whaling boat and escaped from the city.

But the escape did not go well, the ship was hit by a thunderstorm in the Black Sea, and the helmsman and the boaters were slaughtered by marine pollutants.

Fate rode the waves to wash the survivors up to the island, the gears slowly turning.

...

In the second week since Lin Qiao arrived, she had enough of the white sand beaches and clear waves she had never seen before.

The only piece of synthetic meat left on her body had been eaten three days ago, and her stomach was cramping because she hadn't eaten for a long time, and all the cells in her body were screaming for hunger.

She had expected to catch a fish in such pristine waters, or even a little anemone clinging to the cracks of the reef, but she searched all over the beach and ventured into the water a few times, and there was not even a single seaweed around except for rocks.

"The waters around this isolated island are cleaner than the Black Sea, which is stuffed with pollutants, and you can't get any food out, it's daddy." Jiang Dan, the fisherman who was following her, cursed weakly, looked at her with bloodshot eyes, and his voice was hoarse, "What should I do?" You say there's anything else to eat. ”

Lin Qiao glanced at him, and silently clenched the folding knife in his pocket, "Let's look for it in the forest first." ”

"Linzi?" The man turned his head to look at the lush green jungle, his body scorched by the sun trembled, and a chill grew from the bottom of his heart, "I won't go, don't you think it's very evil there?" So many trees, is this possible? ”

"Then I'll take a look."

Lin Qiao took out the folding knife in his pocket and unfolded it, took a deep breath, swallowed the hot pain in his throat and walked inside.

She had to put her last hope in this green forest, and the sturdy man looked at her with a hungry wolf, and she was not sure that she would not be able to turn it into his meal in the same starving state.

But to be honest, Lin Qiao also felt that this island was very evil.

Even the best botanical garden in Wandering City can't see a few real trees with leaves, where even dead wood is listed, and the island is all green, but no mega-corporations or bio-corporations have found it.

Their private satellite has long covered the world, and it is very abnormal for no one to set foot here, just like there is not a single mutant fish in the nearby waters, except that there are more terrifying creatures hiding here that make them dare not approach, Lin Qiao can't think of any additional reason for the time being.

The footsteps swayed slightly, and the sweat gradually blurred her eyes, and her vision was drowsy.

The rustling of the leaves of the sea breeze is creepy.

"Bah."

Her left foot suddenly sank into something jelly gummed, and the slippery, gelatinous liquid seeped into the brim of her shoe, causing a sensation of extreme pain.

Lin Qiao's body froze, his sloppy gaze suddenly focused, he quickly took two steps back, and reflexively thrust the folding knife in his hand down.

A tentacle thicker than her wrist, its skin black and red, thick blood mixed with mucus splattered from the incision, like a disturbed sleeper, arching and squirming wildly in the sand.

Lin Qiao quickly kicked off the shoes that had stepped on it, took off the socks that had been corroded out of the big holes, and most of the skin at the ankles fell off, and she squatted there and inhaled in pain, but her heavy mood was strangely much better than just now.

She looked at the tentacle and quickly assessed the species in her heart.

It is probably a mutant octopus that washes up in the sea, affected by seawater pollution, and it is normal to grow to five or six meters, and the mucous membranes on the surface of the skin are toxic, but they are not very harmful to humans.

The fact that it was here overturned her previous assumption that there was a terrible monster.

Lin Qiao let the blood flow, endured the pain that pierced her heart, and walked around it, she carefully pulled out the folding knife, and when she saw the opportunity, she immediately raised the knife and cut off the entire tentacle that was exposed from the sand.

She wrapped her clothes and pressed them with her hands, and put a purifying agent on the fleshy feet that felt soft through the fabric.

The tentacles soon quieted down, lying there limply, covered in sand.

This is only about the length of Lin Qiao's arm, and the rest is stuck under the beach, and she doesn't know how many there are, but this is already life-saving food, enough for her not to go into the forest, and she can spend the night safely.

Fetching dinner, she limped back, blood running from her ankle all the way to the point.

Outside of her sight, the amputated tentacles soaked in mucus slowly contracted, thick bubbles bulging, and countless tiny limbs split, expanded, and danced from the incisions.

They burrowed back into the sand, and burst out again after she left, greedily rolling the sand into their mouths.

It smelled so delicious, but it was an unbearable taste, and the touch of the feet trembled like chaff, and he spit out everything intact.

The tentacles buried under the sand stretched to the entire island, frantically tangled and stirred, humming in doubt from the cracks and abysses.

Sweet? Odoriferous? Or is it rotten?

She smelled so sweet.

The monster entrenched at the bottom of the island was awakened by the noise and quietly opened its eyes.

"What did you find?" Jiang Dan stared at the tentacles in her hand, "What's it?" ”

"Mutate the brachiopods of the octopus." Lin Qiao threw things on the ground, "I've used the purifier." ”

Marine pollutants can be eaten, and biotech has developed a purifying agent to deal with them, removing 100% toxins from the body.

This thing is not cheap, it was caught by Lin Qiao when he had an accident on the boat, and it came in handy now.

"Octopus?" Jiang Dan walked to the tentacle and squatted down, held it and turned it over and pinched it into the meat, and then said: "I have been a fisherman for so many years, and I also know that this is not an octopus limb and there is no sucker. ”

Qiao Lin was stunned and said dryly: "Maybe it's wrapped inside?" ”

She cut the skin directly with a knife, and the black and red flesh rolled out inside.

It's not an octopus.

So what kind of species is the owner of this thing she cut off?

Lin Qiao's heart sank, and he raised his eyes to look at him, "I only found this, do you think you can eat it?" ”

Jiang Dan touched his hungry sunken belly, "I don't know, you try it first?" ”

Lin Qiao was silent.

In the evening, the two of them were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, and Jiang Dan's eyes became more and more hungry and gloomy when he looked at her.

Lin Qiao weighed his state, and finally found some dead branches and stones to block the wind and make a fire, and put his tentacles on the fire to roast, "I'll try to see if I can eat it first." ”

She was very interested, Jiang Dan looked at her twice, and finally lay on his back on the rock and chatted with her, "I see that you are only 20 years old, why do you risk sailing with us and doing this kind of deadly business at any time." ”

Originally, the fishing boat would have stopped for a short time in the barren country, which was not under the scope of the federal police, the order was chaotic, and the local area was all taken over by gangs, which was a good place for Lin Qiao to save his life.

She flipped her tentacles and slashed on them, the firelight reflecting on her face to bring a bit of warmth after nightfall, "My brother is sick and dying, and he needs to be replaced with an artificial kidney, and my parents have no money." ”
