National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly
Chapter 268 Lost Contact
There were countless comments in the team channel until Ren Linhe stepped forward to take charge of the situation, and the news gradually stopped.
At this point, everyone had very little supplies left, and Shen Nan was unwilling to accept interstellar passes as a trading currency. After the copy was completed, these passes would be handed over to the "country" as their "merits."
Since it would be handed over to Uncle Ren sooner or later, Shen Nan simply exchanged for more basic supplies and processed more necessities.
In the end, Shen Nan traded the fifteen oil lamps to the fifteen people in the team who were most in need, and agreed to return them after sufficient supplies were available.
In the next few days, the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping as Little Maoqiu predicted, but instead got heavier and heavier.
The strong wind mixed with lightning and thunder ravaged the earth.
Countless branches were broken by the strong wind, and some trees were even uprooted. This rainstorm was more violent and terrifying than any previous one.
In this way, the heavy rain lasted for four full days, until the evening of the fourth day, when the rain outside the tree hole gradually eased.
The raindrops turned from pouring down to drizzling, and the strong wind slowly subsided. The world seemed to have finally returned to peace from this fury.
However, during these four days, Shen Nan never received any reply from Chi Wenxiao.
He sent him many messages and tried to make a voice call, but each time there was no response. There was no rejection or answer, only endless unanswered calls.
Shen Nan felt vaguely uneasy and realized that something might be wrong.
So he contacted Chi Wenxiao's sister Chi Wenjing.
The two added each other as friends when they were in the Earth Star copy, and Chi Wenxiao taught her how to operate the light curtain at that time.
The moment the video call was connected, Shen Nan saw a dirty cat face.
Chi Wenjing's hair was wet and stuck to her body, making her look lifeless.
When Shen Nan appeared in the video, the big cat that still remembered him immediately made a faint "wooo woo" sound.
The voice was low and trembling, full of weakness, as if she had been hungry and cold for a long time.
She huddled in a dim cave, surrounded by complete darkness, without a trace of fire.
The cold air seemed to penetrate her fur, causing her body to shiver as if she would freeze to death at any moment.
The lynx, which had once become fatter under Chi Wenxiao's care, has now become so miserable.
Seeing this scene, Shen Nan's heart sank, and he couldn't help but guess that something must have happened to Chi Wenxiao.
Otherwise, considering how much he doted on his sister, he would never have let Chi Wenjing fall into such a situation.
A lynx with the IQ of a few years old, unable to change its form on its own, and a body that has shrunk 100 times, consumes its mental energy every day in this foggy forest and cannot survive on its own.
If he hadn't discovered in time that something was wrong with Chi Wenxiao, I'm afraid Chi Wenjing wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
Although Chi Wenjing cannot switch forms at will, she can understand what Shen Nan says and can use her big claws to operate the light curtain.
Although she would occasionally make an incomprehensible "meow" sound, Shen Nan could still understand a little from her movements and eyes.
In order to help Chi Wenjing make a fire, Shen Nan specially asked Ren Linhe to make a sealed fire storage device to facilitate the placement of burning wood into the trading platform.
He was busy using the processing table to make new warm supplies, while asking Fanfan to help prepare food.
When Shen Nan traded the food that Fanfan had roasted to her, the big cat immediately started to eat it voraciously. Its eager look clearly showed that it had been hungry for several days.
Although he was not sure whether Chi Wenjing was aware of Chi Wenxiao's condition, he knew that in order to keep abreast of his sister's dynamics at all times, the two siblings were connected on video calls 24 hours a day.
Even though Chi Wenjing didn't know what happened exactly, she was sure to notice something was wrong with her brother the moment the video call was interrupted.
Unfortunately, he couldn't understand the lynx's "cat language" and couldn't ask her directly what had happened to Chi Wenxiao.
Even though he called the little ball of fur, hoping that it, as a fellow animal, might be able to understand something, the little ball of fur just looked at the big cat in confusion, with its head tilted and a look of bewilderment in its eyes.
The little fur ball had no idea what the big cat was saying, and could only make a few low, equally helpless cries along with it.
Unable to contact Chi Wenxiao, Shen Nan knew that something must have happened to him.
But Chi Wenxiao's profile picture was always on, which meant that he was still alive and not dead.
Shen Nan was both anxious and curious, and was eager to know what exactly he had encountered.
In the end, he decided to use the calling card to contact the staff of Blue Water Star, and only then did he learn about Chi Wenxiao's experience.
It turned out that after Chi Wenxiao got the Qingling Fruit from him that day, he gave all three fruits to Chi Wenjing without hesitation.
He tried to pick another Rafflesia flower, but accidentally startled the Piranha Plant guarding nearby and was injured by it.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and he brought some intermittent ointment with him, so he was able to treat the wound.
After his wounds healed, Chi Wenxiao realized that he could not defeat the Piranha Plant, so he had to give up the Rafflesia and turn to killing other creatures, trying to get the Qingling Fruit from the "activity treasure chest".
However, his luck was not good and he failed to achieve his goal after many attempts.
At night, the fog in the misty forest became thicker and visibility was extremely low. When Chi Wenxiao was taking a rest, a mountain leech quietly appeared.
Although he eventually defeated the mountain leech, during the battle, he used wood from the fire as a weapon. The extinction of the fire, coupled with a long battle in the fog, caused his spirit value to drop rapidly.
By the end of the battle, his spirit value had fallen below 20 points and he fell into a state of confusion.
He wandered aimlessly in the night like a zombie, just like a person sleepwalking, and finally, he unknowingly walked into an unfamiliar field of flowers.
In that mysterious bush of flowers, Chi Wenxiao has been in an unconscious state.
What is puzzling is that his spirit value is clearly below 20 points. Logically, he should not be able to survive a night without a fire source, but he has stayed in the flowers for five whole days.
When he was hungry, he ate the petals of the flowers, and when he was thirsty, he drank rainwater.
Among the flowers there was a hard shell of some unknown fruit, which became his temporary shelter.
In the storm, he curled up in the hard fruit shell. It was this unexpected shelter that helped him resist the heavy rain and allowed him to survive the harsh environment.
After learning all this, Shen Nan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, filled with emotion.
Is Chi Wenxiao lucky or unlucky?
After confirming that Chi Wenxiao was mentally disturbed and could not be contacted, Shen Nan naturally took over the responsibility of taking care of Chi Wenjing.
For him, this was just a matter of adding one more set of bowls and chopsticks and one more thing to worry about.
What's more, Chi Wenjing's current appearance is still his favorite furry look, soft, cute and lovable.
Shen Nan simply treated her as an extra pet. No matter what food Fanfan prepared, the lynx would eat the same thing as everyone else.
At the same time, Shen Nan would also take an hour or two to have a video call with the big cat.
Just treat it as a kind of "cloud cat-hugging" fun, and it can also help kill some boring time during the long rainy season.
Just like that, accompanied by the sound of dripping rain, time passed quietly, and finally it was the 15th day of survival in the fog.
(It’s the Little New Year, I wish all the little cuties happiness, health and a worry-free life~)
