Chapter 283 The Poor, Helpless But Persevering Turtle
It was indeed a bit of a loss to exchange the mushrooms in the supply mall, especially when I saw that the basket of mushrooms weighed less than ten kilograms, while the bundle of banana tree cores Wu Hu carried weighed twenty-six kilograms.
More often than not, this feeling of losing money becomes even worse.
"Otherwise, it's better not to redeem this Jungu!" Lao Hu said with some reluctance.
Wu Hu was also a little reluctant to give up, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Forget it, let's change! It is autumn now. As long as there is rain, there will be no shortage of bacteria. It's okay!"
In the end, a total of thirty-four kilograms of food were exchanged for twenty-two and a half kilograms of meat and vegetables.
Here Wu Hu has the urge to complain about the show crew, because Xiao Zheng's calculator clearly shows that it is twenty-two pounds sixty-two pounds, but according to their rounding method, it is not twenty-three pounds.
, but twenty-two and a half kilograms, which is outrageous.
But Lao Hu didn't hesitate. After seeing so much food that could be exchanged, he said: "Fat Tiger, how about we exchange for more beef or mutton?"
Wu Hu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Are you sure? We have no more banana tree cores to exchange, and I cut down the last banana tree."
"How about we fry some steaks to try tonight?" Lao Hu raised his eyebrows.
It was obvious that Lao Hu was a little greedy.
Wu Hu was a little moved by what he said and couldn't help but lick his lower lip.
"Okay!" Wu Hu said with a smile: "Xiao Zheng, please remember, four pounds of beef, three pounds of tomatoes, three pounds of vegetables, and replace the rest with potatoes. Well, that's it!"
In fact, there are many types of vegetables that can be exchanged, but after much deliberation, it is best to exchange them for potatoes, which can be used as vegetables or as staple food.
For them, potatoes are their staple food.
With these reserve supplies, as long as Wu Hu controls his food intake, he can easily survive this week. But I don’t know if the program team will provide them with some food on the day of the event. Logically speaking, the program team will provide them with it.
providing food.
Seeing that everyone's physical fitness is getting worse and worse, and the time they can support is getting shorter and shorter, Director Zhao is probably worried that the show will end soon.
Therefore, it is understandable that the program team is thinking of ways to give some food to each group of contestants to encourage everyone to persevere.
After all, the more time you stick to it, the more advertising fees the program team can collect!
But the problem is that in last week’s event, there are no rewards for the last three places. In previous events, there will be a consolation reward so that everyone’s efforts will not be in vain. I am afraid that when everyone feels that there is no hope of winning the ranking, they will directly
Open.
But now, the program team has actually canceled it. What does this mean?
However, Wu Hu's attitude towards this was that he didn't care and he was not anxious at all.
Those who are anxious are those players who want to win the championship, but their strength is not that good and it is difficult for them to sustain themselves.
Wu Hu was sure that these players would be cursing the other players in their hearts, hoping that the other players would be eliminated early and then they could win.
Well, Wu Hu actually had this idea, but he didn't use curses, but directly showed off his strength to scare other players.
Look! Our second team is in such good shape, why do you have to argue with us? If you are smart, just pack up your things and go home to enjoy yourself! Don’t waste your efforts.
The two of them went back empty-handed, and the exchange supplies would probably not be delivered until the evening.
As they walked, the two looked at each other in a tacit understanding, then raised their heads and laughed.
"Fat Tiger, do you know what I want to say most right now?"
"Then do you know what I want to say most right now?"
"I asked first, you guessed first!" Lao Hu said with a smile.
Wu Hu put his hands on his hips, raised his head and laughed, "Who else is there~?"
When Lao Hu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and then he put his arm around Wu Hu's shoulders and said, "Is this idea of ours a bit exaggerated?"
In the live broadcast room, netizens complained, "It's not a little bit, it's very inflated!"
"Lao Hu, be more confident and remove the word 'will you'!"
However, Wu Hu was more inflated than him, "Can't we be inflated?"
As he said that, the two looked at each other again and laughed.
In the live broadcast room, everyone was speechless looking at the two people's proud expressions.
"These two guys are so awesome!"
"They may have forgotten that there is a saying called 'a proud soldier will be defeated'!"
"There is another word called 'Extreme joy brings sorrow'!"
"No, Lao Hu hasn't guessed what Fat Tiger wants to say!"
"Is there any need to guess? They both thought of 'who else' in a tacit understanding, which is the most expressive of personal emotions!"
"These two guys are really in cahoots with each other!"
"Woohoo cp, take off!"
"The second group's banana trees have been cut down. It won't be that easy to take advantage of the program group in the future. I guess this is the only time they can make them swell."
"It's hard to say! With Fat Tiger here, everything is possible! Who knows whether next time he will hug a big turtle and run to exchange supplies with the program team?"
"It's really possible that Fat Tiger can do such an immoral thing!"
"Hahaha……"
…
Back at the shelter, Wu Hu processed the pheasant, cut it into pieces, threw it into a clay pot, and threw in some angelica vines and a few pieces of milk tree roots.
Finally, he cut a section of the fungus king's legs into mushroom pieces, added them in, then put them on the clay stove and simmered them over low heat.
After doing this, Wu Hu picked up the speargun and flippers, ready to go hunting.
Zhan Lang Jing wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wu Hu, "Brother Jing, the injury on your hand has not healed yet, please rest for another day! Anyway, we are not short of food now."
Mina felt a little sorry for her brother and said, "Brother Hu, how about you take a day off too!"
Wu Hu shook his head and said: "I'm fine, I have plenty of energy! Take advantage of the good weather today and go diving in the sea a few more times. Who knows if it will rain in the next few days! Be prepared for a rainy day! During the weekend activities, you can join other players
Let’s test our material reserves and scare everyone away. We’ve managed to survive until now, and there’s no shame in withdrawing from the competition.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
Milk Cha Lun complained: "Fat Tiger, why do you always like to do these damaging tricks?"
"How can this be said to be a damaging move? We are just actively disclosing our intelligence to our opponents to make them realize the reality. Looking at it from another perspective, we are just sending them home early to enjoy their happiness! They can't beat us anyway
, if they go back early, we can win the championship early, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone and have the best of both worlds?”
In the live broadcast room, some netizens complained, "Although it sounds reasonable, I feel like something is wrong!"
"I guess it will be regarded as bragging and no one will believe it! Haha..."
"It's normal! After all, Fat Tiger has a history of bragging!"
"How can this be bragging? This is called presenting facts and being reasonable!"
"What a good person to present the facts and be reasonable! This is obviously not a human being!"
"That is, Fat Tiger has none of the traditional virtue of modesty in flower gardening!"
"Are you talking about virtue with Fat Tiger? Fat Tiger has a dark heart, right?"
…
When many netizens complained about Wu Hu's various evil deeds, Wu Hu had already gone hunting for fish with a spear gun. Others wanted to follow him, but he stopped them.
Why waste that energy when you have nothing to do? Wouldn't it be better to recharge your batteries in a shelter?
Seeing Wu Hu's persistence, everyone was happy to relax and rest in the shelter. They did not have Wu Hu's abnormal physical fitness.
Only Zhan Langjing knows that Fat Tiger does not actually have abnormal physical abilities, but that he recovers his physical energy much faster than ordinary people, giving people the illusion of unlimited physical strength.
Ten minutes later, Wu Hu came to the beach and started warming up on the big beach.
While Wu Hu was stretching his body, the underwater photography tool man was finally in place.
The person who sent the photography tools was none other than the industrious Xiao Zheng. He also brought the materials exchanged by the second group before, including beef, tomatoes, vegetables, and potatoes.
Wu Hu took these things off the speedboat and hid them in a shady place by the beach. He could take them back with him when he went back later.
Therefore, Wu Hu carried the spear gun and dived directly into the water without rowing the raft, swimming towards the deep sea area.
In the live broadcast room, among the voices that were still complaining about Wu Hu, a very discordant voice suddenly appeared, "Have you noticed that Fat Hu's figure is getting more and more explosive!"
"..."
As a result, the live broadcast room immediately fell silent.
"Huh? Look, what did Fat Tiger see? A hedgehog in the sea?"
"That's nonsense! Is there such a big sea urchin?"
"That's obviously not a sea urchin!"
…
At this time, Wu Hu's eyes were indeed attracted by a creature.
It was actually a turtle, but there were something growing on the turtle. From its back to its tail, it was covered with barnacles, shellfish, and moss. Those shellfish stood up one by one and were densely packed, making the whole turtle look like
Like a hedgehog.
Its movements are extremely slow. The slowness is not the speed at which it paddles its limbs, but the speed at which it paddles its limbs. However, its forward speed is very slow, as if it were carrying a heavy load for a long time.
It can be seen that it is very tired. But looking at Wu Hu's figure, it is still paddling its limbs quickly. It is not that it wants to escape, but is swimming in the direction of Wu Hu.
Seeing it like this, Wu Hu suspected that the news that he had rescued other turtles bullied by the cane shells had spread in this sea area.
Maybe this big sea turtle just came here because of its reputation.
However, Wu Hu did not immediately go to rescue this big sea turtle, which seemed to be quite old. Instead, he swam above the big sea turtle and dived towards a 50-60 centimeter sea fish in the distance.
.
The underwater photographer following Wu Hu wanted to remind him that there was a barnacle parasitic patient here who was coming to help him. How could you turn a blind eye?
But as a tool man, the underwater photographer did not dare to disturb the contestants, let alone make decisions for them. He could only look at the anxious and helpless turtle with some regret.
At this time, the big sea turtle also quickly paddled its limbs, spinning in circles like a top, and swam in the direction of Wu Hu and the others.
Unfortunately, this scene was not filmed by them.
Fortunately, it was not filmed, otherwise if it were transmitted to the live broadcast room, Wu Hu would probably be sprayed to death, and I would have the greatest sympathy for this persistent turtle.
But even without this scene, in Wu Hu's live broadcast room, many netizens still asked in confusion, "What is the fat tiger doing? I didn't see the one that was so helpless that it asked him for help."
Big turtle?”
"Impossible! The camera is tied to Fat Tiger's forehead. We all saw it. How could he not see it?"
"No! Fat Tiger, this black-hearted guy, doesn't really have a black heart, right?"
"Don't worry! Although Fat Tiger has no moral integrity, he still has a bottom line."
"That's right! Didn't he save a little turtle last time? There's no reason why he would turn a blind eye to this big turtle!"
"Although we always scold Fat Tiger for being black-hearted, a black heart is a black heart. Fat Tiger still has some love for those helpless little animals."
"Isn't there an underwater photographer next to you? Why don't you remind Fat Tiger?"
"Is there a possibility that Fat Tiger might be thinking about exchanging this big turtle for some supplies?"
"..."
Just like this, ten minutes passed and Wu Hu had two sea fish hanging from his waist.
Then, he turned around and swam towards the big turtle that had been following them tenaciously.
At this time, the big turtle's movements had completely slowed down. It probably didn't have much strength anymore! Seeing Wu Hu swimming towards it, its movements that had stopped began to speed up again, as if it finally saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.
Dawn, victory is at hand.
When he came to the big turtle, Wu Hu picked it up from his back and swam up to the sea. After breaking the water, Wu Hu gasped for air.
The big sea turtle also opened its mouth wide and its eyes were filled with tears. I don't know whether it was from sea water or tears.
It obediently did not struggle and allowed Wu Hu to hold it and swim to the shore.
Back on the shore, Wu Hu put the big turtle on the beach. The turtle's back was covered with parasites such as moss and barnacles, and the carapace seemed to be sixty or seventy centimeters wide.
It seems that this big turtle must be quite old.
At this time, it was lying there obediently and motionless, its eyes were blinking, and liquid was constantly overflowing, as if it was crying, and it looked very pitiful and helpless.
"Okay, don't cry. You're lucky to meet me!" Wu Hu patted the big sea turtle on the head, and finally said: "Program team, if I save marine life like this, will you be rewarded with some food? How about that?"
, I can exchange it with you for some supplies?”
"..."
The man with the underwater photography equipment on the side was immediately speechless.
In the live broadcast room, countless netizens laughed and complained, "I knew that Fat Tiger would definitely do such an unscrupulous thing."
"Although there is nothing wrong with exchanging this for supplies. After all, he wasted his time to help this turtle. But why do I feel that something is wrong?"
"Obviously it was a good thing, but with just one sentence, the nature completely changed."
"As expected of you, Fat Tiger!"
…
Wu Hu coughed lightly and said with a smile: "It's a joke, but don't take it seriously!"
He estimated that as long as the program team is not stupid, there is a high probability that they will ignore him.
And this is a good deed. If the program team agrees, the nature will be different.
Although the story of Zigong’s redeemer tells us that doing good deeds must require reward, in this way, more and more latecomers will do good deeds.
But the fact is that many people feel that doing good deeds should not require reward.
As a result, it gradually evolved into "good people are not rewarded".
It’s not good for Wu Hu to go against the trend and act independently!
With that said, Wu Hu ran to where he put his clothes, pulled out his saber, ran back, sat next to the turtle, and began to clean the parasites off the turtle's body.
While cleaning up, he also said: "In the deep sea, 70% to 80% of turtles will become hosts for marine parasites such as barnacles. Among them, the parasitic host that barnacles like most, besides turtles, is whales. Whales
It is not easy to die at the hands of barnacles, but a lot of turtles die at the hands of barnacles every year. It can be said that barnacles are the natural enemies of sea turtles."
Wu Hu first cleaned the easier-to-clean parts of the turtle's back, scraping off the standing barnacles one by one, and asked with a smile: "Isn't it a great relief?"
After a pause, he continued: "Barnacles' favorite thing is this kind of creature that swims slowly in the sea. If turtles and whales had the speed of swimming in the sea, they would be in trouble. In the sea, being
Barnacle-infested turtles are lucky to encounter humans. More turtles will be 'killed' by barnacles silently."
