Overturned Tower

Chapter 493 It’s live chicken!

Nowadays, many people are living on this reborn island.

There are about hundreds of thousands of people, all of whom come from Yongquan Island.

They even formed a small town here.

Relying on the supplies provided from Yongquan Island, the rural life here is considered stable and peaceful.

There is a gold mine on the island, as well as associated copper and nickel mines. Half of the islanders are miners, the rest are farmers, fishermen and hunters, and only a handful of craftsmen and merchants. Even the prosthetic bodies of the islanders here are incomplete... As the bad guys walked with Strangler, less than one-tenth of them saw prosthetic bodies installed on their bodies.

This remote island also has power lines and can meet basic needs of life. Just because we are far away from the sky island and there is really no internet.

Only in the ports and airships closest to the seaside can we barely connect to the wireless network from Yongquan Island.

When the inferior arrived here, he was still a little uncomfortable for a while - it was the first time he saw a clean field of vision completely unobstructed by any advertisements, information, and push notifications, and it was also the first time he breathed such fresh air.

He realized for the first time that there were so many bugs in places with dense vegetation and lakes.

This is the first time he has been bitten by a mosquito since he was born. During the dozen or so hours he stayed on Quanliu Island, he saw more than ten times more insect species than he had ever seen in his life.

Moreover, the leaves here are not elastic and can be easily torn with fingernails. There is even a bug growing in the bark of the tree that makes the scalp of the weak grow numb.

The inside of the leaf is not dry, but moist and sapy. It has a slightly sweet and slightly bitter taste... somewhat similar to tea, but the aroma is even less pleasant.

This is the first time that the inferior has seen the biological form of "chicken" - although similar knowledge will be taught in college biology classes, the inferior has never gone to school. Original food is a luxury product, which means it requires a lot of space for cultivation, and the living space on the empty island is extremely limited.

The gas exchange on the empty island does not rely on plants, but on the "earth" under their feet. There is not soil under the ground, but many pipes. It also includes water bodies and gas exchange pipelines, through which they can continue to breathe sufficient and clean oxygen.

And "plants" are already a luxury product. If you want to plant trees, you must first have your own independent yard, and then you must have connections to buy tree seeds. This may not necessarily make a living... As for raising birds, cats, dogs, etc., these are basically benefits that only retired company executives can enjoy. Especially those rich people who have no children will keep pets instead of having children.

The plants on the empty island are all synthetic, decorative "buildings" with only empty shells. And without plants, there would be no bugs, and then there would be no birds. Without birds and fish, there would be no wild cats. If there are no wild varieties, it also means that everything must be cultivated and the source is completely monopolized.

Because of this, on Sky Island, whether they are pets, seeds, saplings or live livestock cubs, they are all "specialties" imported from Taoyuan Island. When they are sold, they have already been processed - whether they are cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, cattle, or sheep, they are all sterile. Just like the seeds they bought, there is only one crop, and if you still want it, you have to buy more.

Let’s not mention the cargo transport capacity of the airship... This kind of absolute monopoly and extremely single source of goods, no matter what the purchase price is, will definitely have to go through the second dealer again when it reaches other air islands. After that, the market price has nothing to do with the import price. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to buy it directly at the import price.

You can say that……

In Happy Island, it may be much cheaper to raise a little girl whose spirit is a cat than to raise a real cat. As for luxuries such as "real chicken and fruit", they can only be eaten in the "Peach Blossom Spring" on Happy Island.

Strangler and the Bad One stayed here for one night because the "natural food" here was so cheap - they only sold it for the price of a gold bar, and they could eat enough. Not only is there real chicken and fish, but also real pork, and live rice grown from the fields. With the remaining money, I can take a few apples with me to eat on the road.

What confuses the weak is that the bones in real chicken are really inconvenient to eat. And real fish is a creature that is very difficult to eat...different from the fish on the empty island. It has a thin cartilage that seems to have to be picked out before the meat can be eaten. The synthetic fish steaks and fried chicken on Sky Island do not have these "impurities".

And when the bad guy carefully picked out all the "fish bones", the meat became cold. And the remaining meat is not enough to eat at all - this seems to be a kind of entertainment for rich people to kill time. Apart from being a bit salty, this fish doesn't seem to taste any better than fish steaks... It also has a fishy smell that makes the bad guys frown.

The strangulation actually tastes very smooth. Although it was his first time to eat fish, his spiritual relatives seemed to have some kind of instinct.

His tongue is barbed, perfect for licking off fish. The bad guys will see that eating fish by strangulation is like eating a lollipop, and the fish meat can be taken out easily. As for the chicken bones, Strangler directly bites them off, chews them into pieces, and eats them.

After the meal, they also bought a lot of fruits.

It's different from Sky Island...the apples here have cores, are very hard and very bitter.

After the first bite, the bad guy hit his teeth directly. But he spat out the core of the apple without any knowledge...while Strangler frowned and chewed up the core of the apple as well and swallowed it.

Overall, besides eating the food, I was quite surprised...especially the rice, which seemed to have a unique, sweet aroma. And other "natural foods" don't seem so good.

After eating it once, they lost interest. Compared with their synthetic foods that have been continuously optimized and adjusted, the quality gap between natural foods is really huge.

The most regrettable thing for the inferior person is that he only saw live chickens during this trip, but not live "deer". When he was young, he curiously inquired about the animal forms of his spiritual relatives...but basically there were only pictures and very few videos. On the other hand, videos of kittens, puppies, rabbits, and birds are relatively easy to see online.

And it seems that because the curse here has not been removed, Strangler started sneezing continuously after arriving here.

Immediately afterwards, he began to shed tears, runny nose, red eyes, dry and itchy throat, dizziness and headache, weakness in limbs...and then the skin became itchy and many rashes appeared. He couldn't sleep all night, and even his temper became much worse. The bad guy wanted to take him to see a doctor, but Hangsha didn't believe in the ability of this kind of doctor who didn't have an internet connection or a prosthetic body. He decided to go to Yongquan Island to see it again, so he just endured it.

They stayed up until early morning, and Hangzhou even felt that his body temperature had risen - he seemed to have a fever.

After taking a ship away from Senryu Island, the symptoms of strangulation gradually became less severe.

Hangzhou lay down in the room on the ship and slowly regained some energy.

But then, the bad guy started to have problems again - if it weren't for the strong willpower controlling his body, he would have vomited out almost immediately after getting on the boat, and he couldn't stand still. He felt that his teeth and antlers began to numb due to lack of blood, followed by numbness in his fingers... His head was swollen, and he could only feel better by kneeling on the deck and pressing against the ground.

This seems to be a disease called "sea sickness". According to the captain, it is related to everyone's balance ability. And this caused the inferior to be strangled, his eyes still a little red, and he laughed hard while rubbing his eyes.

The captain said that this is because the shock absorbers and flotation devices of the floating boat are too strong, so some people will not adapt to the strong shaking deck for the first time. Rather, there are only a very small number of people who can fully adapt to the Strangler the first time they get on the ship.

But fortunately, this is a very common situation, so Captain Zeal has also prepared special medicine.

Moreover, he did not charge money for hanging them, but generously gave the inferior a piece of medicine. After taking this "powerful seasickness medicine" from Ampoule Biomedical, he felt much better after just a short while.

But even so, his abdomen was still very uncomfortable. The nauseous feeling that constantly hit his heart made his face turn white as a sheet of paper. He tightened his face, stared straight ahead, and said nothing to barely maintain his dignity. However, Strangler felt much better after being far away from Quanliu Island, and fell asleep on the boat in a daze. After waking up, his "curse" symptoms were much better.

Although the rash on the skin is still there, the eyes are still dry and red, and the limbs are still weak... but at least the fever is gone and I don't sneeze anymore.

The two of them kept going all the way to Yongquan Island.

By the time they arrived, both of them had basically lost half their lives.

They didn't bother to connect with the members of the Fuji Society here, nor did they bother to visit the Wellspring Road... Instead, after the bad guy connected to the Internet, they went to Thoth's psychic "gold store" closest to the port. I exchanged some money and found the nearest place to sleep - Strangler could sleep after eating, but the bad guy couldn't eat anything at all.

He tossed and turned and still couldn't sleep... He had clearly arrived at Yongquan Island, but he was still feeling the ups and downs of the ship in his mind; he had clearly set his feet on the ground, but he felt that the ground under his feet was still undulating. With. Even if he stood motionless, he could feel the whole world shaking.

In the end, he couldn't stand the vague feeling of vomiting. I simply vomited out all the expensive natural foods that I had spent half a gold bar on, and drank some white porridge to fill my stomach, which made me feel a little better.

When they woke up, it was already night.
