Finding a more open space, Ethan Brooks squatted down and began to carefully observe the fruit in front of him. It was taken from the plant that the seed was given by the ant's queen.

"How did you manage to pick it, is it ripe?" he asked. The ants immediately conveyed a wave of affirmation.

Ethan Brooks hummed in acknowledgment, holding the fruit in his hands and studying it for a long time, unsure of where to start biting into it, mainly because he didn't know what unpredictable things he might discover. The ants grew impatient watching him, performing an anxious dance like ants on a hot pan, running in circles on the ground.

"Alright," Ethan Brooks mustered his courage and carefully took a bite. Crunch.

The fruit had a thick skin, but the flesh inside was crisp. A strong, sour taste burst in his mouth, with the thick skin releasing a foul juice, like orange peel mixed with a large amount of mustard, wrapped around a bitter melon that had been dipped in ginger juice, vigorously

    Ethan Brooks wasn't truly angry, but he did feel a bit of frustration. How would you feel if your pets, the smallest and weakest kind, outperformed you in tasks? It's enough to make anyone a bit annoyed, right? Sensing Ethan Brooks's mood, the Sparta ants did not stop to console him. Instead, they sent out waves of emotions that seemed to say, "Come on, come on, don't mind him, let's clean up these branches," deliberately conveying this to Ethan Brooks. He was being ignored! Clearly, this was the ants holding a grudge, a form of revenge for his initial underestimation of them. Muttering a curse under his breath and suddenly feeling the urge to pee, Ethan Brooks turned around and found a spot to relieve himself. Men have this peculiar habit when they urinate; they often aim at a specific spot for amusement. Ethan Brooks was no exception, targeting a round leaf with his stream. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but after he

    What's going on? Ethan Brooks rolled over and looked in the direction from which the warning of danger sent by Sparta had come. It was on the edge where the coconut grove met the jungle. "What's wrong?" Seeing his tense appearance, Luna Marie's heart sank, and the first danger that came to mind was that of a wild boar. Ethan Brooks pulled out a burning pine branch from the fire, gestured for Luna Marie to stay put, and tiptoed towards that direction. The ants' agitated waves grew more intense, as if they were battling something, and waves of pain transmitted through, Ethan Brooks could even feel the ants' screams of agony. He couldn't help but quicken his pace. Upon getting closer, Ethan Brooks bravely waved the pine branch over, and the firelight revealed a chilling sight. Beneath this tree, an ant nest the size of a soccer ball was teeming with ants pouring out, but these ants were clearly not of the same kind as Spar

    In the tropical climate, it seems that only in the early morning can one enjoy such refreshingly clear and permeable air.Taking a deep breath revitalizes the spirit, Ethan Brooks got up and stretched lazily.The campfire seemed to have just been replenished with wood. Outside the shelter, a horizontal stick was hung with strips of grilled fish, swinging back and forth with the sea breeze.Luna Marie, however, was nowhere to be found.A sudden pang of worry struck Ethan Brooks—it was clear that Luna had gone to collect water from the forest. Ethan Brooks quickly got up and ran out of the shelter, heading towards the jungle and calling out as he ran. "Luna, Luna."Sparta and a group of ants, who were busy transporting leaves to water a white tree, saw Ethan Brooks running into the jungle and hurriedly dropped their leaves, quickly assembling to follow him.Ethan Brooks was soon surrounded by an ant information field, which gave him the

    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

    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

    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.

    Ethan Brooks was feeling so disappointed that he now felt like he was about to vomit blood.That was half of the fruit he had saved from Spartans and Black Widows Spider!Standing still, with the cold seawater slapping his face, Ethan Brooks remained desolate for a long time, only to dejectedly walk back.With this half of the fruit gone, to find more fish for experiments, he would have to wait another two days. 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. She not only fed the lioness-dried fish directly with her hand but even dared to reach out and touch the lioness's back.Ethan Brooks looked at the empty ropes hanging on the cabin and felt a surge of anger."A

    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
