Chapter 697: Shocked
Located on the south side of Koh Salos, the south-facing lighthouse is still able to grow moss and green weeds despite typhoons from the south and the marine monsoon, which contains heavy salt.
What does this mean?
There is only one explanation - the water source is under the lighthouse, and there must have been a water pipe leading to the top of the tower, and there must have been a leak, leaving the tower in a wet condition for a long time!
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li. Wei Jing called out in a trembling tone.
Li Mai, who was looking down at the entire island, turned his head and saw Wei Jing's face a little pale, her lips trembling slightly, and she looked at her gaze, Li Mai was also stunned.
I saw that the cracking of the tower was slowly visible to the naked eye, and the gap with weeds was slowly expanding, and the crack was slowly cracking from short to long, from small to large, making a crisp rattling sound.
At this time, Li Mai and Wei Jing were standing in the shadow of the lighthouse. Almost in a matter of seconds, Li Mai and Wei Jing were surprised to see the lighthouse slowly tilting and cracking in the sea breeze!
In an instant, Li Mai came back to his senses, stepped to Wei Jing's side with an arrow step, and pulled her arm violently, "Run!"
Wei Jing was basically stunned and didn't make any movements.
Li Mai couldn't help it, so he grabbed her arm and dragged her hard, took her into his arms, and rushed out with half a hug!
"Boom la la ......"
The lighthouse collapsed at a slow to fast speed, and finally it crashed down, and the whole tower scattered in a clatter!
When he got to the back, Li Mai almost rushed to the other side with Wei Jing in his arms, and Wei Jing was already stunned!
In the sea breeze, the dust slowly dispersed, and Wei Jing was frightened, staring blankly at the collapsed and scattered lighthouse. When she looked closely, she finally knew why the good lighthouse had collapsed at this time - the corpse of a giant python was revealed in the ruins!
"You weren't dazzled just now, I guess what you saw was its shadow. Frightened and too aggressive, the lighthouse itself fell into disrepair and tossed it down. Li Mai pointed to the corpse of the giant python and said.
Wei Jing nodded, shocked, "It seems that this is the case." â
After speaking, she turned her head to look up at Li Mai, only to find that she was in Li Mai's arms, her two hands tightly holding Li Mai's tiger waist, and her chest was fixed on someone's chest.
Suddenly, Wei Jing pushed Li Mai away like a frightened rabbit, her face was full of embarrassment, and her face suddenly turned red. Li Mai was very calm and smiled.
Fortunately, at this time, the captain's voice came from the individual radio, breaking the awkward atmosphere. Li Mai took the individual radio with him, and it was obvious that the captain had seen the situation on the high ground from a distance.
"Chief, are you alright?"
"It's okay, a false alarm. â
"Do you need us to come over?"
"No, the danger has been lifted, and you are standing by. â
"Yes!"
Li Mai looked at Wei Jing, whose hair was a little disheveled, took out a bottle of water from her butt pocket, handed it over, and said, "Drink some water to suppress the shock." â
"Thank you. Wei Jing didn't dare to look up at Li Mai, took the mineral water, and said thank you softly. I kept thinking in my heart, I was so shameless just now, why did I throw myself into someone's arms, how could I hold him so hard, it was so shameless!
Li Mai didn't care about this, and walked towards the ruins to check the python. The exposed part was about a meter long, and the thickness of a man's thigh, with scales like armor. It is completely certain that it is a super-large python king, which can swallow an adult casually, and has obviously survived on this uninhabited island for a long time.
If it weren't for the collapse of the lighthouse and killing it, Li Mai would have to clean it up, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort.
Li Mai thought to himself, drop it back in a while, this thing is a good thing.
I don't know when, Wei Jing walked to the side, although she still had a somewhat frightened look, but she was much calmer than just now. She bothered to look at the python, her lips still trembling.
"Why, there are pythons on the island?" Wei Jing asked with a puzzled brow, as if asking herself.
Li Mai glanced at it and guessed, "Maybe for some reason, I came here from the mainland." â
After a pause, he said, "There is a giant python in zĂ i, which means that there is a complete food chain on this island." If it weren't for us, I'm afraid this island would have maintained this state for decades, hundreds or even thousands of years. â
Wei Jing nodded slowly, and suddenly sighed with some emotion, "It was our appearance that destroyed the stability here." I don't know, it's right or wrong. â
Li Mai was very open-minded, he smiled, and said, "Even if we don't do anything, we still can't escape the occupation of humans here." Here, sooner or later, it will become a pure human territory. All the critters you saw just now will slowly disappear from this island. â
Sighing softly, Wei Jing came back to her senses, looked at Li Mai and smiled, and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Li, I was a little affectionate just now." â
"It's normal, it's normal to have seven emotions and six desires. Li Mai said with a smile.
Wei Jing's expression slowly became strange, embarrassed, and a little shy. But she thought of the ambiguous scene between the two just now, and her heartbeat secretly accelerated.
Li Mai didn't feel anything, turned around and glanced down at the whole island, and said, "Let's dine here in a while." After eating, go around carefully, learn more about the situation, and then you can go back. â
Wei Jing came back to her senses and said, "Oh yes, Mr. Li, I judge that the water source is where the lighthouse is located. â
Glancing back at her strangely, Li Mai said, "Are you sure? â
"Look. Wei Jing nodded affirmatively, pointed to the ruins and said, "There are weeds and moss growing on the tower, and this will never happen if there is no moisture." According to my analysis, the water source should be under the tower base. It should be groundwater, and the pressure is sufficient. â
Li Mai immediately strode into the ruins and began to rummage, saying, "If your analysis is correct, then you only need to build a water tower here to supply the whole island with domestic water." â
"That's right. Wei Jing said but her footsteps did not stop, and she wanted to go over to help find it, but when she saw the body of the python, she was afraid in her heart, even if the python was dead.
After hesitating for a few moments, she still bit her lip, walked over, and rummaged through the bricks with Li Mai, looking for the source.
"Yikes!"
Wei Jing let out an exclamation, sat down, and raised her left foot.
Li Mai hurriedly walked over, "What's wrong?"
"I stepped on the air just now and twisted it. Wei Jing was so painful that her sweat came out.
Li Mai didn't say a word, squatted down and picked up Wei Jing's left foot, and then took off her sneakers.
"Li, Mr. Li, you, what are you doing......" Wei Jing twisted.
"Don't move. Li Mai was expressionless, and quickly took off Wei Jing's shoes, and then white socks......
