[Two in one] Prohibited Poaching-Hunting
…
Lu Liran had to force himself to pay attention to the live broadcast room. Only in this way can he barely ignore the fact that he and a man are almost naked and close together.
“In this severe weather situation, what people can do is to try to avoid unfavorable environments, but it is almost impossible to find a completely ideal place.”
“Based on this, the principle of my selection of safe points is based on the nature of lightning strikes. The essence of lightning strikes is cloud discharge, so all conductors that are conducive to the encounter of charges will become lightning channels. The sad news is that, as we all know, the human body is a good conductor.”
“So when we are in the wild, the first thing we need to do is to prevent ourselves from becoming the conductive bridge in the surrounding environment. Isolated single seedling trees in the wild are the first thing to stay away from, while places with dense bushes like jungles are safer, but you should also avoid a few especially tall trees.”
“Stone gaps like this are ideal shelters.”
Lu Liran was just talking, but he didn’t expect a bolt of lightning to hit the cliff above their heads.
There was a loud bang, followed by a series of big movements. Lu Liran’s pupils shrank slightly, and he gasped: “I don’t know what was hit! I have to let the drone go and see!”
As he spoke, he immediately moved his mind and controlled the drone to quickly rise to a high place.
A coconut tree that was 20 to 30 meters high crashed to the ground, rolled towards the edge of the cliff, and got stuck between the rocks of the cliff.
[Fuck, lightning strikes!!]
[If it falls down, it will be terrible, will it accidentally hurt Brother Lu?]
“This is the time when falling objects are the most unstable, running out is dangerous instead, on the contrary, the position we are in now, close to the cliff wall, is the least likely to be hit by falling objects.”
“But what I’m worried about is that this cliff itself is a fragile collection of limestone and sedimentary rock. After experiencing such a strong tropical cyclone, will there be secondary disasters such as landslides…” Lu Liran pursed his lips.
If there is a landslide, it will really be fatal.
“Luck should not be so bad.” He muttered, praying in his heart.
Within a few minutes, the split coconut tree above his head finally crushed the gravel with a crunch, just as Lu Liran said.
It rolled down all the way “clang, clang”, colliding with all the stones and trees along the road with great momentum, and finally stopped on the beach.
As soon as Lu Liran heard the movement, he immediately reminded Ke Ji that he turned his head to the side close to the mountain, and closed his eyes tightly to prevent debris from getting into them.
Ke Ji’s pupils shrank slightly, and he raised his arms abruptly and leaned over to protect Lu Liran, avoiding the splashing gravel from hitting him head-on.
When the movement subsided, Ke Ji looked down at Lu Liran, and asked in a low voice: “Are you all right?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Lu Liran nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief, if the coconut tree above his head had been hanging, he would have been worried all the time, he might as well drop it down early to save himself a worry.

Ke Ji couldn’t help laughing, seeing the slyness in Lu Liran’s eyes, like a cat stealing small dried fish, made Ke Ji’s heart itch.
He nodded: “I’ll pick it up when the rain stops.”
While the two were talking, the movement outside gradually subsided.
Lu Liran’s eyes lit up, and he let out a breath: “It seems that our luck is good. This strong tropical cyclone should not hit the island head-on, but just passed by.”
It was probably because the coconut tree that fell just now made the two of them very close. Lu Liran seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of being close to Ke Ji’s body temperature and skin. He didn’t even realize that his hands were on Ke Ji’s chest, faintly leaning sideways to look around.
Ke Ji’s eyes were slightly dark, and a smile flashed in his eyes, him breaking the steel frame of the tent was not in vain.
[Hahaha, Brother Lu’s happiness is so simple, get the drinking water and get the rations tomorrow]
[Confirmed, the deserted island is Brother Lu’s happy planet, even if it encounters a tropical cyclone, it’s not a problem!]
[Hiss, why do I feel that brother Lu has adapted to being skin-friendly with the beauty]
[Shh, don’t break it!]
[Hahahaha, being too adaptable is sometimes not a good thing, 233333]
The sound of rain outside gradually became pattering from patches, and finally stopped raining completely, but it was less than ten minutes’ work, and after that cyclone moved away from the area, the rain stopped as well.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji squeezed out from the cracks in the stone, Lu Liran picked up the clothes and held them in his hands, and now he regained some of his initial discomfort.
“Go back to the camp first and start a fire.” Lu Liran said to Ke Ji.
Ke Ji nodded in response, and quickly followed Lu Liran.
Back near the camp just now, the original appearance could no longer be seen on the other side. There were scraped branches and green leaves everywhere, and it was impossible to find a dry kindling.
Lu Liran had no choice but to peel off several layers of water-soaked bark next to the trunk of the coconut tree until he got to the dry core inside.
He spread out the core fibers of the coconut tree, held them together carefully, and ignited them with a flint. It took a lot of work to make this little fire.
Lu Liran leaned against the bonfire to warm his hands and feet. Although the torrential rain hit for more than an hour, it made him feel like a century had passed.
He couldn’t help but let out a satisfied sigh, he propped up his quick-drying clothes with wooden sticks, and hung them over the bonfire to dry.
“It’s going to be dawn.” Ke Ji said suddenly, he pointed to the sea level that was gradually getting brighter in front of him, and an arc could be faintly seen protruding from the horizon in the farthest distance.
When Lu Liran heard his words and looked over, he slightly bent the corners of his mouth: “Let’s watch the sunrise, by the way.”
Ke Ji responded, and his mind was full of the warm scene of the two watching the sunrise together by the bonfire.
He remembered that this is how they developed in a romance movie. Even after such a “disaster” experience of ups and downs, it is worth holding hands □□.
However, before Ke Ji could brush up his favorability again, Lu Liran, who was beside him, got up again.
He saw him looking around on the beach, but he didn’t know what he was doing.
After a long time, Ke Ji finally saw Lu Liran come back——
A few coconut shells that have not been overturned are filled with rainwater and fallen leaves and sand. Lu Liran poured the rainwater into the plastic bottles he found, filling a one-liter plastic container.
Carrying an almost full plastic container, he happily walked back to the campfire, and then looked at the sun on the far side of the sea: “Yo, done watching the sunrise.”
Ke Ji：“……”
This was not what he expected to see when watching the sunrise.
Lu Liran didn’t know what Ke Ji was thinking, he put the plastic container filled with rainwater beside Ke Ji’s collapsed tent.
When he passed the tent, he subconsciously looked over like a ghost, and saw that the broken steel structure of the tent seemed to be man-made traces.
Lu Liran frowned, and turned his head to look at Ke Ji who was sitting by the campfire.
The handsome and beautiful man’s bare back was facing towards himself, and Lu Liran only then noticed a newly worn and broken skin injury on the other’s back, as if he had been rubbed by a sharp stone.
His eyes darkened, this guy…
Ke Ji seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to look over. Lu Liran withdrew his gaze, pretending not to notice, and walked towards Ke Ji.
“Although this tropical cyclone brought a lot of trouble and disaster, it also brought us a nice little gift.” Lu Liran looked at the drone camera ball.
He pointed to the fallen coconut tree on the ground, and then pointed to the rocks not far away: “Just now, I saw several fish caught in the reef that were rolled up, and they were all knocked out and stranded on the shallows.”
He extended an invitation to Ke Ji: “Will you come with me to pick up leaks?”
Ke Ji responded, and quickly got up: “Of course.”
The two of them last night, apart from coconut meat, which was enough to satiate their hunger, the small fish, oysters and giant swimming crabs they ate were all easily digestible seafood. After the toss of the tropical cyclone raid just now, they had long since been depleted.
They were desperate for some hot cooked food.
As Lu Liran said, there were still several fish stranded on the shoal between the reef gaps.
Some of the fish were rusty red, flat and large, weighing four or five pounds, with sharp fins.
Besides fish, Lu Liran and Ke Ji also picked up several squids of different sizes.
“Look quickly! This is a green duckweed floating sea turtle!” Lu Liran whispered, beckoning Ke Ji to come and have a look.
They saw a green turtle about one meter in diameter stranded on the beach.
“It should also have been swept ashore by big waves. This green duckweed floating sea turtle is a first-class protected animal in Desolate Star. Due to the frequent pollution of their living environment, their number has plummeted in recent years.” Lu Liran picked it up carefully and said at the same time, “As far as I know, there are less than 300 wild sea turtles of this kind.”
This green duckweed floating sea turtle weighs fifty or sixty catties. After being picked up by Lu Liran, it slowly flicked its hind legs twice, then slowly stretched out its huge turtle head, and slowly raised its head to look at Lu Liran, as if sensing that the other party was not hostile, it looked particularly peaceful and Buddhist.
Lu Liran narrowed his eyes slightly, and soon realized something was wrong.
He recruited a drone to give a close-up: “Look here, its turtle shell and the place where it connects to the neck seem to be carved in with a knife.”
He frowned slightly, pursed his lips and said to Ke Ji: “Let’s take it back to camp first. It looks like something’s wrapped around this carving. The entanglement was too deep, and the surrounding area was obviously inflamed and soaked.”
“If it is put back into the sea like this, it may not survive for a long time due to the aggravation of the wound and bacterial infection.” Lu Liran said.
Hearing this, Ke Ji gave his hand and carried the big turtle.
The two hurried back to the camp, Lu Liran roasted the dagger, and asked Ke Ji: “Have you brought anti-inflammatory drugs?”
“I brought a lot.” Ke Ji replied, knowing what Lu Liran was going to do, he controlled the turtle.
Sea turtles are not rich in pain nerves, so they didn’t respond much when Lu Liran was tossing about.
Lu Liran carefully divided the turtle shell and the fibers embedded in it that were almost growing together with the flesh. He picked it out with the dagger, and then sprinkled it with anti-inflammatory drugs for simple treatment.
He picked up that piece of fiber: “It’s a section of a fishing net. Fishing net fibers like this are like cutting steel rebar. They should have been banned a few years ago.”
His voice was cold: “Only prohibited poaching sea vessels use these nets, and they don’t care if the sea creatures they catch are harmed or not, they only seek the highest conversion efficiency of a single net.”
[Poaching!?]
[Too pitiful…]
[Ghost knows how many other underwater creatures are like this turtle]
Turtle save! Thanks for the update ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my gosh. This reminds me of one time at my high school where they did a talk about illegal fishing and litter in the sea, and they also showed us a photo of a sea turtle with a piece of net around its neck. It was so deeply imbeded into its neck that you could almost see the bone. I started crying because of how painful it looked. The turtle ended up dying from a severe infection in the wound. Hopefully this sea turtle will recover well 🥺
Thank you for the chapter ☺️
wuwuwuwu this is just the nature of human’s they will do anything for their own benefits and gains no matter what their goal is, they are naturally selfish and cruel… Sometimes I wonder why humans like that exist, but in the end I can’t say anything as I’m just a bystander… I hope that turtle will get well soon too 😭
Thank you for the update!
KJ has no honor, hiding his identity, and purposely destroying his tent to be closer to LLR. Instead of admitting the truth, he hid his intentions. He had many chances to confess, but he’s just acting like a creep now. He even admits to trying to gain favor while hiding his identity. I don’t know what you call this kind of dishonest person acting this way.
I hope LLR figures it out soon. I hate that he has no knowledge that KJ is Zai-Zai’s other father. That KJ is lying to his face.
+1
Thank you for the chapter ! I was almost afraid that one of them would do the poaching but it wouldn’t make sense with MC’s motto of “it can be eaten except if it’s protected”
