A Late Night Visitor

The calf thought another little buddy had come to play with it, and leaned over to play with it, scaring the cow mother into crying out "moo moo" continuously.

Shen Bing said in a trembling voice: "Oh my, how did this thing get into the camp?"

"Don't worry, it's mouth is tied shut!"

Shen Bing then noticed that the alligator's mouth was wrapped with several cords.

So although it attacked the calf strongly, it was completely unable to harm the calf at all.

The calf thought the big alligator was playing with it, and jumped on the alligator's body.

Completely ignoring the cow mother's blood pressure shooting up.

At this time, the desperate cow mother saw Lu Zhe, and "mooed" at Lu Zhe asking for help.

Lu Zhe nodded: "Don't be afraid, it's alright!"

The big alligator also saw Lu Zhe, a murderous look appeared in its eyes as it charged at Lu Zhe.

"Be careful!"

"It's fine!" Lu Zhe rushed forward, dodged, and at the same time clamped the alligator's head with his arm.

It struggled ceaselessly, but could not shake off Lu Zhe at all. After a while it finally got tired and lay there motionless.

"That was too dangerous!"

"It's fine!"

As he spoke, he gently caressed the cords on the alligator's mouth, just like a father caressing the headband he personally tied for his daughter about to be married:

"Every rope on its mouth was tied by me personally."

"But it still wants to eat you."

Lu Zhe shook his head: "We have misunderstandings about nature and wild animals! They are not all innate killers. Like us, they have no choice but to be that way in order to survive. Once they have eaten their fill, perhaps they will also give back to nature with a grateful heart like me."

"So you mean it came to repay you, not take revenge?"

"Actually, it's not wrong to understand it that way either! Look, now it has no ability to threaten us, right?"

As he spoke, Lu Zhe very rudely poked its nose. The alligator writhed in annoyance, its eyes almost shooting fire.

Shen Bing stared wide-eyed and said: "Even if it has no ability to threaten us now, how can you see that it came to repay you?"

Lu Zhe patted the alligator's head, as if patting a buddy of many years.

"You'll know tomorrow."

August 5th, the 57th day stranded on the deserted island.

The girls looked at the alligator tied up belly-up in shock, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Ning Shu plucked up the courage to ask: "What did you bring it into the camp for?"

"To generate electricity!"

The girls had no choice but to continue weaving the protective net.

Lu Zhe melted all the copper wires, and with Shen Bing's help, made a rough copper knife. He also melted a bunch of aluminum cans and made an equally rough aluminum knife!

"As I said before, under certain conditions, acids can cause the transfer of electrons in metals, thus forming electric current. Citric acid does this, and so do other types of acids!"

Lu Zhe patted the alligator's belly.

"The gastric acid of alligators is extremely strong, able to even digest rocks. What it relies on is that in the days after eating, large amounts of gastric acid are produced in its stomach, mixing with the food. This gastric acid, like that of oranges and lemons, is an organic acid that conducts electricity. Although it may sound unbelievable, in theory this kind of gastric acid is indeed an excellent raw material for making primitive batteries."

Then, he split open the alligator's belly with an axe.

He then inserted the two knives attached to wires into the alligator's stomach.

On the other side, Ning Shu's mobile phone indeed began to charge.

Ning Shu: "I thought it was an alligator, didn't expect it to actually be a battery!"

Lin Qianqian murmured in agreement: "Seems much stronger than a fruit battery, this should be able to fully charge it."

Jiang Yao lamented: "Now the alligator can proudly tell electric eels: I can generate electricity too!"

Tang Xiaoguo nodded: "The effect is good, it just costs the alligator a bit."

For the first time, the mobile phone battery was fully charged.

But then there was the question of what to do with the alligator?

After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhe finally made a decision!

Release it!

Yes!

Lu Zhe untied the cords and freed the alligator. The alligator crawled seven or eight meters then stopped moving.

Lu Zhe thought it was tired and needed to rest, so didn't urge it on further.

After checking again later, Lu Zhe's heart suddenly sank.

"It actually died?!"

Indeed, in the face of nature, life was extremely fragile.

But dealing with such a huge creature was another difficult problem!

Burying it would be too wasteful. Lu Zhe used his paratrooper knife to separate the skin and meat along the belly scales after much effort.
