Chapter 771: Hello, Treasure Island

This exciting misunderstanding made Li Du feel very embarrassed. The damage to the Australian black flying fox had been caused by a cat, who was jointly liable with the owner.

Just now, Ah Meow had attacked so quickly that Li Du could not have stopped him if he had tried. This was the nature of the tiger cat.

However, it was not appropriate to place the blame entirely on the cat. How could they know that this seemingly evil and ferocious flying fox actually was a tame animal?

Li Du believed that anyone who first saw a large flying fox would feel frightened, especially when he was in a daze. When he opened his eyes and saw that thing, he was scared to death.

However, Sophie was a surgeon. She took animal medicine in college and was nearly a veterinarian. She also helped treat Ah Meow when he was hurt.

It could have been that he hurt the flying fox by mistake, so she helped.

The flying fox had a fracture and possibly an internal rupture. Sophie could not give it an accurate examination. She had to bandage it first to treat the trauma.

But looking at the flying fox's behavior, Sophie was optimistic about the injury.

”I think there are no internal injuries, but it fell down from the second floor, which caused bone damage and muscle injuries. The flying fox is quite resilient,” Sophie said. ”Let him rest for a few days and change the bandages regularly.”

Finally, she told the owner and his wife, ”The next time you change the bandages, wear rubber gloves. Flying foxes can transmit rabies. You must be careful not to get bitten.”

”Is there a rabies virus on this island?” asked Li Du. ”I thought the island was closed.”

Sophie nodded. ”Yes, the island is very deserted and the chances of rabies are low, but the flying foxes are very good at flying. They don't stay just on the island, so it's still possible.”

Having taken care of the flying fox, the group had a quick breakfast and was ready to leave.

As they boarded the ship, a speedboat followed. Victor, the shop owner, was on the boat.

”Are you coming to see us off? Thanks a lot, man,” Hans said jokingly.

Victor smiled brightly. ”Consider it as sending you all off, but I'm going to Herrick, so we'll have to part a little later.”

Herrick, a small town on the northeastern tip of Tasmania, was relatively close to Cape Barren Island.

On the way, they spoke a bit more, and Victor told them that he was not only collecting supplies, but also picking up online goods for many people on the island.

The online shopping boom had swept around the world, so even in places as far away as the remote corner of Cape Barren Island, residents knew how to use the power of the internet to make life easier.

But how could they shop online when there was no signal on the island?

Victor told him that the big guys don't leave Cape Barren Island on a regular basis, but they do occasionally travel, and whenever they get to a place where there is internet available, they shop online, have the items shipped to Herrick, and then bring them home.

After a short chat, they parted. Victor was going south, while Li Du and the others continued to sail east.

They traveled for two hours, and during that time they came across some small islands, but none of them were suitable for black gold abalone harvesting.

After sailing on for a while, Lu Guan, who was looking around with a telescope, turned around and said, ”Boss, look, an island! Breadfruit tree, here we come!”
