Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 181, one hundred and three days, footprints

Ye Qingchen's loud cry attracted everyone.

"Footprints? What footprints?" Brother Qian ran over, yelling. "The footprints of the wild boar, it seems that there was a lot of activity here last night, and it is likely that the wild boar lured these crocodiles here." Ye Qingchen guessed.

These footprints were obvious, they came out of the woods, and when they reached the edge of the deep pit trap, they stopped abruptly, and immediately changed direction and left to the side.

The owner of the footprints is obviously a wild boar, but Ye Qingchen's idea is wrong, the crocodile did not follow the wild boar!I think it is more likely that the crocodile came first, touched the trap, fell into the trap and died here, and the wild boar should be the latecomer!There is a reason for saying this!
You know, the character of wild boar determines its way of survival, they are simple, rough and direct!It is impossible to do things like detours under normal circumstances.And those footprints stopped and changed direction when they reached the edge of the trap. Is it still guesswork?

Obviously, the wild boar saw the crocodile, and the crocodile that fell into the trap was frightened!I don't know whether to be frightened by the trap or by the crocodile!After that, he changed direction and left.

Personally, I hope that the wild boar will fall into the trap. After all, the wild boar may be more suitable for us as food!But by accident, we caught a crocodile, and it was not small.

But as Brother Qian said just now, this crocodile is very useful, not too small!After speaking, at 01:30, Mi Dakang and Ye Qingchen carried the crocodile to the river to clean it.

I didn't go, of course not because I wanted to be lazy, but because many traps were destroyed.I need to stay and recover some.Although there are some traps that I don't understand at all, and I can't fix them, but this one only needs to fix the most critical big trap.

Just now everyone unanimously decided that in view of the effect of this trap, we decided to dig out a few more, so that all these damn crocodiles would never come back.Now it seems that this trap is the most effective.

The lasso I made was indeed touched a long time ago, but it did not hold the prey at all, but was broken off instead. The strength of the vines is far from enough. It seems that I can only try again with a cable.Other people's traps for large animals were even more useless, especially Ye Qingchen's so-called rockfall trap from a high place, which didn't hit anything at all...

This big trap was repaired very quickly. After the thick and sharp trunk was buried at the bottom, I covered it with branches from the side, and finally covered it with a layer of leaves. It looked perfect again.

However, the crocodile captured this time with a total length of about four meters is considered lucky if it did not escape. The trap is not big enough.The trap dug later must be more than twice the size of this one. I think it must be at least four meters long and wide!
This is not my random thought. You must know that the crocodile that chased us last time was at least about seven meters long. If such a big crocodile came over, it might not necessarily fall into a two-meter-square pit. can also escape.It is not what we want to be escaped by prey. For us, as long as there is a chance, we must use all means possible to eliminate crocodiles!

Now these crocodiles are our biggest threat. If we can't think of a more effective way to eliminate them, sooner or later, we will all become their food and be preyed upon by them.

As for the depth of the trap, I think it should be about three meters, so that no matter how big the crocodile is, as long as it dares to come and fall into the pit, no matter what, it will not be able to escape!In addition, the bottom of the pit was originally planted with branches. Fortunately, there was a thicker branch this time, which finally pierced into the crocodile's eye, otherwise it might have escaped.

However, the other branches in the surrounding area have been swayed by this crocodile, so I didn't continue to use the previous branches as the sharp weapon at the bottom just now!Instead, it was replaced with the trunks of small trees. These trunks with thick calves are used just right. Even if a crocodile weighing a ton falls, it is impossible to break these trunks, let alone the trunks buried deep in the soil. It was bumped and staggered.

Also, even if our traps are done well, we can only be regarded as sitting on the sidelines, which is of no special help to our survival!Last time at 01:30, I also made a suggestion, suggesting that we can get some poisonous snakes, poisonous frogs or other highly poisonous things, smear them on the arrows or on the dead rabbits, feed the crocodiles, and find a way to make the crocodiles swallow these Poisonous food, and finally poisoned to death...

However, this method was rejected by all of us in the end. You know, doing this is not good for us. Even if a few crocodiles are poisoned, the impact on them will not be particularly great, and what if the poison does not kill them?What if the crocodile doesn't eat it?

Moreover, it is very difficult to obtain the venom of poisonous snakes and poisonous frogs. Let alone the content of venom in a poisonous snake, the danger alone is terrifying!What's more, the harvest is completely out of proportion to the effort!
It is indeed very uneconomical to exchange such a great danger for these venom and the method that may poison the crocodile.I sat in the yard and thought about it for a long time, but I still felt that this method was not reliable at all.

For us, the perfect way is to use traps to catch crocodiles.Using traps to catch crocodiles can not only ensure the safety of several of us, but also can obtain food, and can also reduce the number of crocodiles. This is basically a way to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"Brother Luo, we're going to have another big meal today..." They came back, and before they entered the yard, I heard Ye Qingchen yelling excitedly, scratching his throat.Maybe they just happened to get something nice?I stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Hey, rabbit? Are you still going to catch rabbits?" Seeing that Ye Qingchen was still carrying two processed rabbits, I asked suspiciously.

"Brother Luo, you really don't believe it. We found these two rabbits passing by the river. When they were running away, they got nervous and got entangled in the vine pile! Haha." Ye Qingchen excitedly asked me Describe the situation at the time.

In fact, I also know very well that Ye Qingchen should have caught these two rabbits, and his running speed is indeed very fast, but thinking of this, I also started to tease: "When we met, didn't you also like this rabbit?" Are the two rabbits the same? Haha”

"Brother Luo, isn't that right? I was terrified by your ferocious appearance at that time. I thought that my life would be explained away. Really, thinking of that time, my heart still beats like a drum... "Ye Qingchen said that obviously to flatter me.

If Ye Qingchen and I were not very familiar, maybe I was very proud of his words, but this kid is a smart man, he looked frightened at the time, but I felt that he was testing!

But what exactly it is is not important now.Now we are already in a team, and the team has recently left another teammate. If we want to leave here alive, it depends on the five of us, and the hope is slim.

And although on the surface we are not short of food, clothing, housing and transportation, in fact we are short of everything now, and the food reserves will not be enough for this group of people to eat for a few days. Of course, the remaining bags of food are not counted, because this is what everyone said , leave you something to commemorate your hometown.If you finish eating, you won't even have anything to remember!Then the motivation to live is less.

In addition, we know too little about this island. A long time ago, I explored several places alone, and even figured out the problem of water sources in the mountains last time.But around the mountain, wild boar's lair, etc. we don't know where it is.

Is there something else on the island, are there other survivors or is there still treasure from the island?Whether there are any secrets we have so far, etc., these all need to rely on the answers after exploration.

Exploring the entire island should be the most important thing for us next. Familiarity with this place and a thorough understanding of it will allow us to fully control it!
Of course, there are several prerequisites for this. The first one is to complete the most important trap first, and discuss it with everyone to think about what is the best way to deal with the crocodile.Unfortunately, the bullets in the pistol are not enough.If you have enough bullets, you don't have to be afraid of them at all.But it's a pity that the remaining bullets are so light.I will never take it out and use it until the last moment.This pistol is also my only amulet now!

"Brother Luo! That... that..." When I was thinking, I came over at 01:30!Everyone else went to prepare food, and now there are only two of us left outside!
"Brother Zhao? Come on, it's okay!" Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, I asked him to speak out.From the looks of it, it shouldn't be a big deal.

"Then let me tell you! Well, the last time you mentioned the boat, when will we start doing it?"

"This! It's not the time yet, but it shouldn't be long." I know very well what the urgency is at 01:30. If his fiancée thinks he is dead, maybe after a period of sadness, he will forget him , and then went to someone else!This is human nature. After all, you are not married yet. Since your fiancé has already had an accident, you will not wait forever.

And it has been several months now, the more you wait, the more anxious you are at 01:30!So he agrees very much with the shipbuilding suggestion I said last time!But seeing that I hadn't moved, I started to get nervous.

"Brother Luo, when are you going to start? I think if I wait too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on!" Having said that, at 01:30, he lowered his voice and leaned over to me and said, "Brother Luo, you I also saw that there are more and more crocodiles recently, as if they are crazy. How can we unarmed people fight against them except for these traps? You think Ying Yuefeng is also dead. If this continues, everyone Will go to see him sooner or later. What do you think?"

01:30 Having said that, I realized just how much he is afraid of crocodiles, of course!I'm afraid too, but is it useful to be afraid?When I saw it, I was indeed surrounded by fear, but now, I only think about how to fight it.Running away won't solve anything at all.

"Brother Zhao, in fact, I understand what you mean. Recently, not only you, but everyone should be under great pressure to survive, and they are all trying to figure out a way! You know, we can't escape at all! Even if we start immediately Shipbuilding plan! But you have to know, this boat will be driven in the sea! It’s not a bamboo raft, it will take several months! Do you know?”

"Also, do you think you can go to sea if you have a boat? Look, we have five people! Let's assume that the shipbuilding plan is successful now, and we have successfully built a ten-meter boat. Follow the wind direction, Yang Fan! But have you ever thought about it, what about food? What about fresh water? In addition, how much water should be prepared, how much food should be prepared? These cannot be solved in a short while, give me some time, give everyone some time!"

After all this, I looked at 01:30, he didn't speak, and he didn't raise his head, but sat on the ground, propping his chin with his left hand, completely lost in thought.

I didn't continue to say more. 01:30 is also a smart man. I was going to say more things, but it is obvious that he has started to think for himself.That being the case, there is no need for me to continue.

"Okay, I understand, thank you Brother Luo! If work starts someday, I will definitely be the first to support you!" After thinking about it for a while, at 01:30 at night, I finally thought about it, and stood up and said these words to me .In fact, I am very happy, he once again confides the things that are suppressed in his heart.

You know, in this environment, if you suppress your thoughts for a long time, your emotions will explode sooner or later, and once they explode, you will be insane, or directly depressed, depressed, and have a strong feeling of world-weariness. will take him away.

"It's time to eat...!" Originally, he wanted to say something when he saw the 01:30 muttering, but Ye Qingchen shouted excitedly!It was also at this time that I suddenly realized that it was already noon!

I basically didn't do anything this morning, and I feel that I have also acted as a psychiatrist in the team... But when it comes to mentality, Ye Qingchen and Qian Ge really impressed me. The things they usually show, Unlike others, he has always been more optimistic.

……

There are several pots of crocodile meat. I thought it would be very old and unpalatable!In addition, because of Ying Yuefeng, I have been somewhat repulsed!But since they all ate it, in order not to be special, I resisted and ate a piece!
The result was unexpected!This white crocodile meat is so delicate and tender!I could even swear that I never thought that crocodile meat would taste like this!I have never thought about it! The special part is the meat of the tail, it is really memorable after eating it!
