“Crap! Crap!!!

I have heard that ants are disciplined, but should they be so exaggerated? Arranged in such a square, this can only be the ants that came out of the military camp!”

Ethan Brooks suddenly panicked. This is not normal, just now they give people to put that kind of harsh words, and dozens of ants together are to go back to the code people do not, code ants to go, is it that they understand their speech? Or come back to snatch back the coconut?

Are the ants on this island so bossy?

"What do you want?"

Ethan Brooks asked in a super-whispered whisper, because that time earlier was a joke, and if the mute girl saw her talking to ants again, she might be considered a fool.

On closer inspection, right in front of the ant formation, there is another ant, this guy is a little bit bigger, about 1.3 or 1.4 centimeters, only to see its antennae quickly twitching, and the whole ant formation suddenly scattered, looks like a plate of sand, but soon let Ethan Brooks stupefied. They gathered into a circle!

A circle, the size of a palm, slowly rotated on the ground and Ethan Brooks watched flabbergasted for twenty seconds as the ants took a step outward and spread out, leaving a very standard circle in the sand!

Ethan Brooks had long since lost all thought of jesting, and instead frowned deeply, his heart welling up with a sense of difficulty.

The strange feeling of words.

Ethan Brooks knows the wonders of the world: there are fish that walk on their feet even when they're underwater, snakes that like to climb trees and slither down and fly, and crocodiles that have to swallow a bunch of rocks in their stomachs to help with digestion and sinking, and even fish that are different sexes at different temperatures!

But this time, Ethan Brooks wasn't sure it was some kind of natural phenomenon. Why are these ants posing squares and drawing circles at themselves?

Everything happens for a reason!

Just as Ethan Brooks decides to ask these ants "What's going on", a rock is thrown at his back. When Ethan Brooks turned around, the mute girl was grinning in amusement and throwing something at him.

Picking it up in his hand, Ethan Brooks' eyes light up. She interspersed all the feathery leaves on the coconut leaves and braided them so tightly and firmly that they looked airtight, like a big bushel. If this is used to build a small nest, it is lightweight and beautiful, and the effect of wind and rain has been doubled many times.

Ethan Brooks had to be impressed with the mute woman, who took the opportunity to lean forward two steps and write a word deal, mutual aid, in the sand. Then pointed to her failed nest.

Ethan Brooks was more than a little shaken, not just by the coconut leaf, but by the fact that through it, Ethan Brooks could see that the mute girl was smart, opinionated, and tough, and that despite her soft looks, she wasn't one of those pampered, crybaby types. She might even help herself.

At that thought, Ethan Brooks nodded and gave the mute girl a thumbs up in agreement. The mute woman smiled sweetly at once, but her smile quickly narrowed as her eyes crossed over to Ethan Brooks and looked at the sea behind Ethan Brooks' head.

"What's wrong?"The mute woman raised her hand at once and pointed to the sea.

Ethan Brooks rose and looked in the direction of the mute girl's finger. On the

surface of the sea, there was a black dot! It was rising and falling with the sea, rocking, not very visible.

"Wait for me!"

With no time to think, Ethan Brooks took off his shirt as he ran, plunged into the sea, and swam toward the black spot. Ethan Brooks grew up near the water and was a very strong swimmer, even if he had to go into the water to save someone twice, except that back home, he had to go into the water to save someone.

It's a ditch, it's the sea, it's more or less foreign.

But familiar with the currents, Ethan Brooks soon swims like a fish out of water and approaches the black dot. Seeing what the black spot was, Ethan Brooks was overjoyed!

Surprisingly, it's a suitcase!

Ethan Brooks took it in his arms, the suitcase was water-proof or it might have sunk, Ethan Brooks swam back easily by its buoyancy.

The mute girl was also instantly overjoyed to see the suitcase. It's a black suitcase, not very fancy, but with a decent capacity.

Ethan Brooks and the mute girl couldn't close their mouths around the suitcase, it was almost like they were facing a treasure. "By the way, you found out that I'm swimming, and this should be considered a collaboration, so how do we split it up?"

The mute girl once again wrote down a few words “Be useful”.

Ethan Brooks nodded and pulled open the suitcase.

It's a typical sporty guy's suitcase, and the contents aren't wet at all. All men's sportswear, underwear, socks, a pair of men's sneakers, a comb, four sets of premium hotel toothbrush and toothpaste sets, a digital camera, a camera battery, an electric shaver, a rechargeable battery, and half a box of Durex.

The mute woman took the comb in a moment of surprise, and, guarding it in her arms like a treasure, looked at Ethan Brooks with a look that said, "Don't take this comb from me. “

Ethan Brooks snorted, then picked up the Durex box and laughed louder and louder. The mute woman, bashful at the sight of the object in his hand, pulled out her weapon warily and stepped back a bit to point it at Ethan Brooks.

Ethan Brooks then realized that the mute girl had misunderstood herself and thought she was thinking something bad.

"No hahaha, I didn't mean it like that, you know, it's the only thing in here that's most useful."

Ethan Brooks squeezes a Durex, solemnly. But here's something about the image that doesn't resemble a serious conversation. Seeing the mute girl clueless with a big red face, Ethan Brooks snapped the case closed. "Go on, I'll show you how to use it later."

After hearing this the mute girl blushed even more and kept pressing the backs of her hands to her cheeks, Ethan Brooks didn't care about her and just pulled the line back to the nook.

The sneakers are sized just right for Ethan Brooks, which is rare; his feet were broken in when they came in, and with a few more days of light, they're likely to get infected, and these shoes are a blessing in disguise.

As for the clothes, the dumb girl could change and wear them, they were just a little fatter. The two split the stuff up, and in the end, the Durex must have all gone to Ethan Brooks.

Suddenly, the mute girl's stomach made a "loud noise" just after she had finished dividing the food. She hadn't eaten for a whole day and night and had only survived the night by drinking a few mouthfuls of rainwater.

Ethan Brooks hands her the open coconut. "Coconut meat isn't much of a hunger quencher, but it's better than nothing, I guess, so eat it first."

Indeed, Ethan Brooks had just eaten three coconuts and was a little hungry again at this point. After breakfast, Ethan Brooks put all the water collected from those leaves into a freshly made coconut bowl, put it in the shade to prevent evaporation, and went back to work.

Expanding the nook was a big project, not something that could be completed in a day or two, so the smaller one still needed to be kept to ensure that there was a place to stay at night, and one had to build one for the mute girl as well.

When he got busy, Ethan Brooks forgot about the ants earlier.

By midday, a sweaty Ethan Brooks had built a shelter for the mute girl, and since she was less hostile to him, the two of them were only two or three meters away from each other. But the only thing on the beach was all braided coconut leaves, no sign of the mute woman.

 "Little mute! Oi! Little mute! "

Ethan Brooks had just shouted twice when he realized that the mute girl had turned out from behind a rock wall in the direction of the beach, with a large plastic bottle in her hand, and was looking at Ethan Brooks with a murderous little look in her eyes, looking as if she was unhappy, very unhappy, with the title of little mute girl.

Just when she was worried about how to defuse the situation a bit, the mute girl quickly walked over and squatted on the ground to swish and write the word “Luna.”

“ You call this?" Ethan Brooks read it, and the mute woman nodded vigorously.

"You're not Lovegood from Harry Potter, are you?" Ethan Brooks joked, seeing that she wouldn't say her first name."My name is Ethan Brooks."

Luna ignores him and shoves the plastic bottle into Ethan Brooks' arms without a second thought. Ethan Brooks then noticed it. Very good---It's a big 2L wide-mouth mineral water bottle, and looks like good quality, the key is what's inside, there are dozens of conch, clams, and a big crab.

"Where did you pick it up?"

Luna pointed to the reef pile in the distance. At the end of the rock wall is a pile of reefs, and on that side of the reef is also the beach, which Ethan Brooks has yet to visit.

But how could he be so stupid as to forget seafood at the beach?

"What about this bottle? Picked it up there too?"

Luna nodded, writing “trash” on the ground.

Yeah, the beach has its share of trash sometimes, and suitcases are one of them. "I'll go look again! You stay right here and don't go anywhere!"

With that, Ethan Brooks made an excited dash for the reef pile. Reef piles separated the place from puddle to puddle, and in some places, one had to jump to get over, and Luna should not have gone out quite far.

There was indeed some trash here, but it was scattered and not much, and it took nearly two hours or so for Ethan Brooks to sweep the area and harvest seven small drink bottles. But Seafood himself surprisingly only found twenty to thirty clams and conch and did not catch crabs, it seems that his luck compared to Luna is not better. Also, there was a tin canning bucket. "The bottle can store water, so whenever it rains, water is no worry!"

Spreading a pile of loot on the floor, Ethan Brooks can't stop smiling. Luna writes “it is eaten raw and would get sick.”

"Who said I'd let you eat it raw? Seafood soup today!" Ethan Brooks smiled mysteriously. Luna, full of doubt, looked around and spread her hands, signaling that there was a fire.

Ethan Brooks, on the other hand, was being mysterious and acted on his own. He picked up a good amount of dry wood and stacked it, with the fibers of the coconut skin as a fire starter, at the bottom. Ethan Brooks then pulls a Durex out of his pants pocket, causing Luna to nervously reach for her weapon again. Ethan Brooks was speechless, if he had that in mind, why the hell would he bring this? He didn’t explain.

Go straight to the beach, and in a short time, brought back a water balloon. Luna opened her little mouth in a daze, seemingly in realization. Ethan Brooks held the water balloon and began to focus the sunlight on the fire starter.

That's right, the first time Ethan Brooks saw this Durex, he thought of fire.

This Durex is filled with water, if he pinchs it rule a little bit, it's a convex lens, focusing the sunlight with a convex lens to get a fire, that's all elementary school stuff now, but now it's helping them survive!

Ethan Brooks adjusted the angle half a dozen times before he finally finished focusing, and once the focus was on the target, it was only a matter of moments before the fibers torn from the dry coconut skin were soon smoking white.

Luna rushed up to take a small breath and blew several times in a row, the flames rose with a whoop, Luna leaped up and Ethan Brooks breathed a sigh of relief. Fire is so important, and as Luna said, without it, everything has to be eaten raw, and raw food makes it easy to get sick.

But even though he now has shelter and a fire, Ethan Brooks feels he can't be complacent yet.

He always felt that something important was missing.

This experiment was a complete failure.Back at the camp, Luna was feeding the lioness.Now Ethan Brooks did not dare to get close to the lion, because he had no mental connection with it at all and feared it might bite him.But Luna, perhaps due to frequent contact over the past few days, had let down her guard.

    A comprehensive upgrade is necessary, and it must be planned out.They can't just survive on dew and rainwater, nor can they subsist solely on fish, coconuts, salt, and various vitamins.All kinds of protective gear, weapons, and shelters also need to be upgraded.A simple life cannot be sustained for too long; he doesn't expect a rescue team to arrive tomorrow, so he must survive the day after tomorrow, and the days following.Of course, before all this, Ethan Brooks has another plan in mind: the ocean floor.To be precise, the garbage on the ocean floor.Marine debris, with only a part floating on the surface, accounts for just a fraction. 70% of ocean garbage settles on the seabed, most of which drifts with the currents.In the Pacific Ocean, marine debris covers more than 3.5 million square kilometers, exceeding the land area of India. At least 800,000 tons of garbage enter the ocean every year.Of course, what is considere

    Upon hearing the words of Ethan Brooks, Luna Marie turned her head away and closed her eyes, a single tear of anguish trickling down from the corner of her eye.She quickly wiped it away, sniffled, and helped pry open the python's grip on Ethan Brooks.To escape the python's jaws, Ethan Brooks had to push his shoulder further into the mouth of the serpent to free himself from the reverse-serrated fangs, a process that nearly sent him into shock from the intense pain."Ah! Ahhh!"With a thud, Ethan Brooks broke free, his legs numb as he collapsed to the ground, his shoulders riddled with dozens of bloody punctures from which blood oozed slowly.Luna deftly used strips of cloth to bind Ethan Brooks' wounds.In a moment, Ethan Brooks regained his strength, picked up a bamboo spear from the ground, and advanced towards the lioness.The python lay sliced open, its belly revealing the slick body of a lion cub that the lioness had dragged out, now lying quietly on the ground.The lioness, we

    The python's flesh was a blur in its abdomen, where a leg hung limply, and it seemed to be a lion's leg. Judging by its size, it should not be from an adult lion but from a cub. Ethan Brooks, fearing that he had not seen clearly, took a closer look and confirmed without a doubt that it was indeed a lion cub's leg. The python's belly was bulging, hidden deep within the coils of its own body, a defensive posture. Upon seeing this, Ethan Brooks was completely shocked. It's important to note that aside from its belly, the python had not sustained injuries anywhere else, while the lion was covered in wounds. Under normal circumstances, a lion wouldn't be so easily defeated, especially when it was driven to madness. The reason was that the lion wasn't trying to kill the python. Even if it was lashed to a bloody pulp, even if the python had broken its hind legs, even if it knew it was certainly going to die! Its goal was always just one! To tear open the python's belly. Realizing th

    In recent days, Ethan Brooks and Luna Marie have been preparing for the upcoming high tide.A tide strong enough to submerge the reefs comes every 15 days, and it has been 12 days since the last one.It's important to understand that they don't have a stable food source right now. The fish dried from the last high tide lasted only seven days, so this time they must catch more and try to keep the fish alive as long as possible, as the satisfaction from eating dried fish and fresh fish is not the same.Moreover, Ethan Brooks has had a strange idea.Maybe he could find a fish and feed it some white fruit to see if it could do something for him in the sea.Although Ethan Brooks has not yet chosen the right fish, this plan has already been scheduled."Ah!"On another cool morning, Ethan Brooks stretched and yawned, shielding his eyes from the glaring sun as he looked over the beach.Luna was always up so early, doing stretching exer

  • Eden Rebuilt: My Island Adventure with Divine   018 Spider

    Ethan Brooks was at a loss and could only look to Sparta for help, given that it was he who had brought the spider. Sparta sent a wave of encouragement to Ethan Brooks to continue, and since there was still more than half of the fruit left, it seemed the ants had stopped, intending to feed it all to the spider. Ethan Brooks did not hesitate, using a bamboo stick to pick up the remaining fruit and feed it to the black widow, bite by bite. With every bite, Ethan Brooks could feel the mental connection with the black widow becoming tighter. Soon, it would be strong enough to communicate as he did with Sparta. This, however, made Ethan Brooks feel quite distressed. Sparta and the other ants had shared one fruit among more than two hundred of them, consuming a total of seven fruits over the days. How much had each ant eaten? Yet this black widow had eaten more than half of a fruit by itself, which could have been enough to a
