Chapter 489 Food Crisis

Yue Hengyi saw the movement in the woods in the distance and quickly asked: "Brother Feng, is the mutated banyan tree here?"

Shen Feng looked down at the meteorite in his hand, nodded and said: "That's most likely it. Let's leave quickly, don't get entangled anymore, we'll talk about it after we escape!"

If it is a natural rain forest, the strangulation of vines is not so fast. It is based on one month. Now Shen Feng discovered that the vines and aerial roots in the forest are growing too fast. It is probably the mutated banyan trees that have come to take revenge. , also to snatch the meteorite, so Shen Feng chose to retreat.

"Are we leaving like this? What should we do with the people in the tribe?" Yue Hengyi couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry about this bunch of unruly people. They don't say anything about stealing, but they are all xenophobic. They don't distinguish between right and wrong. That's how it is in poor mountains and rivers. Life and death have nothing to do with us!" Shen Feng said with a shrug, and he was going to the mangrove forest next. .

When Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi landed, they placed their boats in the mangroves. The reason why they are called mangroves is because many of the trees growing in the tidal flats on the beach have red sap, so they are called mangroves. Generally speaking, Animals such as crocodiles and crabs live in the mangroves.

When they came to the mangroves, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi were silent, because now that the tide had receded, the sailboat was stranded in the woods. Some of the roots of the mangroves were on the ground, and the ground was all mud, while the sailboat was quietly sitting there. Stay on the mud.

"How could this happen?" Yue Hengyi asked first.

"The tide is out. Just wait. When the tide rises at night, the ship can move." Shen Feng shrugged helplessly. He also forgot about the tide problem. During the day, the tide had already receded. , now it is impossible to go to sea immediately.

Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi simply lay on the deck, put on their sunglasses, and waited for the tide to rise. As for the meteorite, Shen Feng placed it in the cabin.

Yue Hengyi asked while fishing for crabs: "Brother Feng, people in Southeast Asia don't seem to be easy to communicate with. They always want to take advantage of us. What should we do if we meet the indigenous people again in the future?"

Yue Hengyi's method of catching crabs is very simple. There are some salted fish on the boat. He pulls off a piece of salted fish meat and hangs it on the hook. After the crab finds food, he uses pliers to catch it. At this time, he only needs to pull the fishing rod to catch the crab. You can catch crabs, but only small crabs.

Shen Feng leaned on the deck under the shade of the tree and said lazily: "I have nothing to do with the unruly people. Just try not to communicate with them in the future. As for the people here, they are used to taking advantage. They always think that tourists want to Accommodate them, don't coddle them."

"Aren't you an otaku? How do you know so much about people in Southeast Asia?" Yue Hengyi asked.

Shen Feng shrugged and replied: "You don't understand this. I am a homebody, but my sister is not. She once traveled here with her friends, and she always told me that tour guides like to cheat money and trick tourists into buying things. Luxury goods or handicrafts, the tour guide can then take a commission from these shops."

According to Shen Feng's temperament, he can stay at home as long as he can. Who likes to run around without anything? In other words, in troubled times, Shen Feng has to go out often. Otherwise, Shen Feng can stay home for a month. Households, in extreme cases, only go out to buy necessary daily necessities.

But Shen Yu is obviously much more cheerful. She always likes to run around. Before graduation, she and her good sisters went to Southeast Asia for a trip. As a result, she was tricked because she was not familiar with the place. According to her, when she got off the plane, she There are taxis that rip off customers, and when it’s time to go shopping, the tour guide takes you to buy various handicrafts. There are even children selling flowers and conches. It’s impossible not to buy them. Children can chase you from one street to another. a street.

So, Shen Yu told her family about this matter after returning home. Shen Feng's impression of the people here was that they were ripping off customers and taking advantage. Although it was the end of the world, the result was not yet

There is nothing they can do about it, it seems that taking advantage has been deeply rooted in their bones.

Yue Hengyi nodded and said: "Since everyone here is like this, then don't deal with them casually to avoid being taken advantage of."

The mangrove forest is still quite far away from the volcano, but there is thick smoke rising in the direction of the volcano in the distance. Based on what we have seen before, we can deduce that basically the tribe is most likely to be attacked by the mutated banyan tree. As for the It's unclear how this group of people responded to the fire. Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi sat on the boat and pretended not to see it.

If the meteorite theft hadn't happened today, Shen Feng might have helped to solve the danger. After all, we were facing a mutated banyan tree. We are all human beings and should help each other. However, Shen Feng now discovered that he and this group of people were not from the same group. It was obviously a meteorite he brought back, but it was forcibly stolen, and he still refuted it plausibly. These are obviously a bunch of hooligans, why should you help them?

Yue Hengyi couldn't bear it. After all, he had eaten their fruits in the past two days, but he kept interrogating them. The reason why the mutated plants appeared now was probably because he had snatched the meteorite, which was also the disaster he caused. It seems that my side is a bit more extreme.

Ever since, after thinking about it over and over, Yue Hengyi felt a little uneasy.

Finally, at dusk, when the sea water rose and the mangroves were submerged, Shen Feng lowered the sail and asked Yue Hengyi to untie the rope and use his powers to push the ship forward toward the sea.

However, at this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the woods not far away. These people were in a mess and had their families with them. There were women holding their children and shouting continuously. The light at dusk was like blood. Generally, it looks even more eerie when illuminated in the woods.

"You two, help us, there are vines chasing us!" Amiz couldn't help shouting when he saw the sailboat that had left the mangrove.

For these natives, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi are their only hope, but they did not expect why mutated plants suddenly attacked their tribe. However, there was no way to escape in the volcano, and the exit was blocked. , no one could get in or out at will, so after a bloody battle, only more than 200 people in the tribe escaped, and the rest were all captured by the vines.

Yue Hengyi saw someone asking for help and quickly asked: "Brother Feng, can we help them?"

"Don't cause trouble for yourself. How to deal with these plants that are not afraid of flames? If you save them for a while, what will happen in the future? Will they continue to beg us to help them find a new base? If they find a base, will they ask us to protect them? Then, Wait until a certain prophet continues to steal our things and continue to slander us?" Shen Feng asked directly.

Yue Hengyi couldn't answer. Shen Feng pointed to the golden sea in the distance and said: "Leave me at the helm to the north. If you can't see it, you won't feel uncomfortable. In the end of the world, being weak is a sin. I can protect the weak. But only for those under my command!"

The implication is that Shen Feng chose to be out of sight and out of mind. He knew that these people were facing the threat of death, but now he did nothing to save them. Who allowed these people to offend him first?

Yue Hengyi had no choice but to take over the helm from Shen Feng and quickly sailed towards the north. He took advantage of the opportunity to leave the mangrove forest. If he rested for a night, he would have to stay because he was stranded the next morning. But he couldn't bear it in his heart. A group of living people are about to be eaten by mutated plants, but they can't do anything.

At night, Shen Feng lit the stove on the boat and started grilling crabs. The plastic buckets were all filled with crabs that Yue Hengyi caught during the day. These crabs were all orange-red and looked like the Mr. Krabs in the cartoon. Grill it on a skewer and it will turn red quickly. When it's cooked, break open the carapace and you'll find white crab meat inside.

Yue Hengyi lowered the anchor and fixed the ship before starting

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Barbecue, just a little absent-minded.

Shen Feng tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of the indigenous people. After eating, he went into the cabin to sleep. Yue Hengyi was lying on the deck, blowing the sea breeze and looking at the stars. He murmured: "I will not save you. This is unexpected." It was something I did, what happened to me? Where did my kindness go?"

After another half month of sailing, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi finally arrived at the Philippine Islands, which meant that they were halfway through the sea voyage. Shen Feng was very happy and felt that they would be able to reach China in another month. However, their luck ended here. For the northern hemisphere, spring has arrived, the Pacific high pressure has gradually formed, and the southeast monsoon has begun to move northward.

The most intuitive manifestation in Southeast Asia is the arrival of the rainy season. Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi face heavy rain every day. Even though there are many islands here, it is difficult to find the direction under the vast rain curtain. They just rely on the compass to move. It's no longer possible.

At the same time, Shen Feng discovered that there was almost no food on the boat. The two big eaters ate and drank on the boat without knowing any moderation. They consumed a lot of food every day. Although they fished when they had nothing to do, the fish they caught were not enough. It was impossible for the children to fill their stomachs, and supplies on the ship were in short supply. The two had no choice but to suspend the voyage and prepare to go ashore in search of food.

"I looked at the map and I passed a large volcano. This is probably Mindanao. The island is very big. To the west is Malaysia. To the west is the Zengmu Shoal, which is the southernmost tip of China." Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi stayed in the cabin. There was a stove in the cabin to take shelter from the rain, and Shen Feng was describing his location.

"Then let's go west? Directly from the South China Sea to China?" Yue Hengyi asked.

"Come on, the South China Sea is too big. We might get lost accidentally. We will go north next. After arriving at Luzon Island, we will cross the Bashi Strait and go to Baodao. After passing through the strait, we can enter Fujian. If we are lucky, It will arrive in twenty days!" Shen Feng said.

Shen Feng didn't want to take risks at all. After going to the South China Sea, he could only find supplies on the islands. However, the islands were very small and you could miss them accidentally. There was no navigation on the ship. If you got lost, you would be in trouble. It was better to be on the safe side. , first arrive at Treasure Island, eat two kilograms of pineapples and then arrive at the mainland. This route is generally not dangerous.

"Gululu..." Yue Hengyi's stomach growled unsatisfactorily. He looked in his pocket and saw that there was only a tiny bit of flour left, which was not enough to eat.

"Brother Feng, go ashore and find some food. Without food, there is no way you can sail!" Yue Hengyi said quickly.

"Okay, let's go look for it separately. Come with me and drag the boat ashore to avoid being stolen by others. After we find the food, we will meet on the boat." Shen Feng was helpless. As the saying goes, people are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat for a while, you will feel hungry. If you don't have food in your hands, you won't have the confidence to speak. You can talk about other things after you are full.

Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi got off the boat wearing raincoats. First, they worked together to drag the boat to the shore. In this way, the boat was not in the water, and it was basically impossible for ordinary people to drive the boat away.

Shen Feng thought about it and walked to the north, while Yue Hengyi walked to the east. There are rainforests on both sides. After entering the rainforest, you can see many animals taking shelter from the rain, including frogs, snakes, and even centipedes. Shen Feng did not Determine whether these things are edible. Although Hong Qigong often eats centipedes, that is just a plot in the story. He still dare not eat them.

"Hey, there's a fire. Does that mean there's someone here?" Suddenly, Shen Feng saw a fire in the distance. He quickly walked in to observe and found that there was a fire in a bungalow. Through the window, he could see ten people in the room. Several people were eating at the table.

"Since we want to avoid dealing with each other, it's better not to communicate and go to the kitchen to have a look!" Shen Feng didn't want to alarm these people, so he chose to go around to the kitchen to have a look.
