Chapter 176 Trap
After taking two sips of water, Zhou Chen filtered some more.

Military lunch boxes, military canteens and skydiving helmets, almost any equipment that can hold water, are now filled with water.

Glancing at the time.

He found that it was 7:40 in the evening.

Think for a moment.

He said slowly, "There is still more than an hour before it gets dark, so I decided to camp here today."

Glancing at the water storage container in front of him, he said again: "Although the water has been filtered, it is still raw water. For safety reasons, I have to boil all of it before drinking it."

After looking around, he added: "The terrain here is low and the vegetation is sufficient. Not only can it provide me with firewood to boil water, but it can also protect me from wind and sand at night."

After circling the bushes around him a few times, Zhou Chen spotted a place.

Surrounded by bushes and not too far from a water source, this is an excellent camp.

After the camp was selected, he decided to go out for a walk and get some more firewood by the way.

He had been digging holes in this green space since he arrived in the afternoon, and he hadn't had a chance to look around.

After tidying up briefly, Zhou Chen left the camp.

After getting the water, he temporarily passed the crisis.

The water is solved, and he still needs to solve the food problem.

Zhou Chen now only has one-third of the smoked rabbit meat and a small snake as thick as a hemp rope left, and only a small half of the beetroot that he picked during the day is left.

No problem eating tonight.

As for tomorrow's food, it became his problem again.

When Zhou Chen was worrying, a sea of ​​red flowers appeared in front of his eyes.

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help feeling emotional when they saw this scene.

"Wow, there are flowers here."

"The little red flowers in the sunset are really beautiful."

"It's too beautiful, isn't it the flower that camel thorned?"

"really not bad."

When he found a piece of flowers, Zhou Chen's sorrow was temporarily forgotten.

Stepping forward quickly, he observed carefully.

After a slight pause, Zhou Chen said, "This is a piece of sandy dates."

"This plant mostly grows in mobile sand dunes, semi-mobile sand dunes or rocky ground, and can also grow on sandy gravel Gobi, dry river beds, and sandy gravel alluvial slopes in front of mountains."

"They have the characteristics of wind erosion resistance, sand burial resistance, drought resistance, and thin ridge tolerance. They have dense branches, strong tiller germination ability, and developed root system. They can adapt to arid desert areas with extremely harsh conditions. They are typical psammophytes in desert areas."

"Azalea has a broom-like appearance, and the green branches bear reddish flowers in spring, which are edible."

Picking off a blooming light red flower, Zhou Chen directly stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing for a while, he nodded and said, "Well, yes, there is a faint floral fragrance, I can pick some more and keep it in water to drink."

Zhou Chen picked the flowers and continued to share knowledge.

"Azalea has moderate palatability. It is a good pasture for camels and sheep. It has a good fat-grasping effect. In addition to being used as feed, they are also pioneer plants for windbreak and sand fixation. Their roots and whole plants with fruits can be used as medicine. The seeds are rich. It contains fat, so it can also be used as an oil extraction material.”

After picking a proper amount of Shaguai jujube flowers, Zhou Chen continued to explore far away.

wow~
A breeze came, and Zhou Chen heard the sound of plastic bags in the bushes.

Following the sound, he found a pure white shopping bag in a low bush.

Picking up the plastic bag, he checked it carefully.

Pointing to the hole at the bottom of the bag, Zhou Chen was a little disappointed.

"Unfortunately, there is a big hole in the bottom of this plastic bag, otherwise I could also use it to hold some water."

Although it couldn't hold water, Zhou Chen still put it in his pocket.

"Plastic bags have many uses. Any seemingly inconspicuous item in the wilderness has its value as long as it is used reasonably."

After walking a few steps, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and then added, "Although this plastic bag is of great significance to survivors, I do not recommend that everyone use this kind of plastic bag, especially this kind of difficult Degraded white trash."

"As far as I know, plastic waste stays in nature for a long time, generally up to 100-200 years."

"This kind of garbage not only causes environmental pollution, but also harms the health of animals if they eat the white garbage by mistake, and even starves to death because it is stuck in the digestive tract and cannot be digested."

"I hope everyone will use more reusable bags. Even if you use plastic bags, don't throw them away."

Now Zhou Chen is no longer a small anchor.

And he is not only a major anchor, but also a contracted host of the BBC.

The documentary "Conquering the Wilderness: South Sand Islands" has been released and will be broadcast in many countries around the world.

As a public figure, he not only represents himself, in a sense, his every move is also related to the reputation of a country.

What he just said was all from his heart.

Especially as an anchor of survival in the wilderness, he can understand this feeling better than others.

After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he continued to explore.

suddenly.

The row of footprints on the ground made him slightly taken aback.

Squatting on the ground to check, Zhou Chen said slowly: "There are some animal tracks here, which seem to be left by some kind of gerbil. I'll look for it and see if I can find its hole."

After searching for a long time along the footprints on the ground, he couldn't find the cave.

Taking a long breath, Zhou Chen showed regret.

"I don't know if the entrance of the cave is too hidden, or it has been buried by the wind and sand, but I didn't find it..."

Zhou Chen paused, and added: "Since I can't find the hole, I can only take the initiative."

Gerbils are very common animals in the Taklimakan Desert, and Zhou Chen is running out of food.

He must find other alternatives, or he will starve tomorrow.

Gerbils are similar to ordinary mice, Zhou Chen decided to set up a mouse trap.

Returning to camp, he brought some twigs and a thick stick.

Coming back to the footprints, Zhou Chen said, "I'm going to make a classic 4-character trap. This kind of trap is very simple, but very efficient, especially for some smaller rodents. The effect is excellent."

While talking, Zhou Chen began to sharpen the stick.

In a blink of an eye, he set up a figure 4 trap.

The principle of the whole trap is very simple. When the animal eats the food on the bait stick, it will trigger the switch, causing the boulder or heavy wood to fall.

After Zhou Chen set up the trap, he reminded again: "After we have set up the trap, we must test and trigger it, so that we can more intuitively check whether the trap is normal."

After he finished speaking, he also tested it. After checking that everything was normal, he set up several similar traps in other places.

The bait is all fresh squid seeds, and a small piece of roasted rabbit meat, which is full of temptation.

Put more than a dozen flowers of Shaguai jujube into the military kettle, Zhou Chen shook it slightly, and then drank happily.

With enough water, Zhou Chen lived comfortably tonight.

After a day's work today, it wasn't long before it got dark before he got into his homemade sleeping bag.

I do not know how long it has been.

In a daze, he vaguely heard a scream...
