Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 14 14. Rabbit
Looking at the numbers that had returned to normal color, Su You put down the wooden cup, then opened the backpack to check the time.

The countdown on the lord token now shows 51... close to 52 hours.

According to the elapsed countdown, it should be around five o'clock in the morning.

Because it was not yet sunrise time, without the sun, the sky was still gray and gloomy, as if shrouded in a layer of black mist.

Such a dull color, combined with the quiet and terrifying surrounding environment, looks extraordinarily gloomy and lonely.

Because it's still dark, without any moving light source, Su You's field of vision is still very limited.

But it is precisely because the time is about to dawn, so as long as she is careful, she can still act normally... At this time, she can already leave the shelter of the campfire.

Although it is not morning, it is still considered night, but the action at this time will not attract wild beasts, because the time for wild beasts to act is generally from [-]:[-] in the middle of the night to around two or three in the morning.

They also need to rest. At this point in time, those beasts have already returned to their nests to rest.

Without the threat of wild beasts, Su You cleaned up the bonfire, extinguished it, and after sorting out the contents of the backpack, she was ready to go out.

Her ultimate goal today is to kill the fire monster and collect fire stones.

But before that, she still needs to collect the 20 yuan wood needed to build the primary arrow tower.

In order to ensure that the backpack has enough space to hold things, Su You cleaned out all the useless things as much as possible.

In addition to the lord's token that cannot be discarded but does not take up space, Su You's current backpack is as follows——

背包（7/10）：线绳*4，烤浆果*14，浆果汁*2，石料*5，石质斧头（1/100），石质矿镐（100/100），石刀（88/100）

Because she was in a hurry, Su You left here directly after packing her backpack.

On the way to the destination, she checked the situation of the three small traps she set up yesterday.

There is no exact time for harvesting traps. If you are lucky, you may be able to harvest within three to five hours. If you are unlucky, it is normal to not have any harvest in three to five days or ten days and a half months.

In addition to luck, the human factor is also important.

Such as bait, such as the position of the trap... These factors will affect the probability of catching prey.

It has been nearly twenty hours since she set the trap. Logically speaking, as long as the luck is not particularly bad, there will be something... As for what it is, I can't say for sure.

The destination later happened to pass through three traps, so Su You was going to check the situation of these three traps first.

When checking the traps, Su You found that the first two traps were empty, and there was nothing to gain.

Although a bit regretful, it was also expected.

However, it is worth mentioning that the durability of one of the traps has been consumed a little, which means that this trap once restrained a certain creature for a short time, but finally let it break free.

The calculation method of the durability of the trap is that as long as a creature is hit, it will consume at least one point of durability. If the creature does not run away immediately after breaking free, but wants to attack the thing that caught it, then the durability of the trap will also be affected by the attack. continue to decrease.

Although it is a pity that the prey escaped, since this trap can catch small animals, it means that there is no problem with Su You's placement.

In order to improve the success rate of capture, Su You slightly adjusted the positions of the two traps, and then picked up some leaves and branches from the ground as a cover to make it less obvious.

A few minutes later, Su You came to the last trap location.

"This is..." Seeing the empty space without anything, Su You froze for a moment, and then immediately began to scan her surroundings.

There are many situations for a trap to disappear. The more common ones are that the durability is used up, or it is dragged to other places by other creatures.

If the former, then there will be a 'broken trap' with 0 durability on the ground.

The broken trap is a gray quality item, which is exactly the same as the trap that Su You failed to make before, and it has no effect.

But since Su You didn't see the 'wreckage' of the trap here, it means that the trap should have been dragged away...

There are two cases of dragging away. One is that the small animal breaks free from the trap, but still feels angry, so it wants to take away the thing that trapped itself; the other is that the small animal does not break free, but in the process of breaking free , leaving the trap with it...

If it is the former, then there must be no traps nearby, because since the small animal has suffered here, it will definitely not choose to stay in this dangerous place for a long time, even if it wants to use the trap to vent its anger, it will definitely take the trap away here.

But if it's the latter, the small animals trapped in the trap can't leave the vicinity too far... Because it's still early, and Su You still has a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she wants to look around here.

In the end, after searching for it, she found a big surprise.

Not more than ten steps away from the third trap, Su You found the wreckage of the trap.

The durability of this trap has been reduced to zero, making it unusable, but beside the trap, Su You saw a rabbit that was completely lifeless.

Although the material of the small trap is simple, it is actually lethal, because the inside of the trap is covered with many wooden thorns.

The damage that the wood thorn can cause is limited, but the little rabbit's defense and blood volume itself is not much. If it is not impossible to catch up with it, Su You can kill a rabbit with a single axe.

In short, a small trap can kill a rabbit.

Although Su You didn't see the whole process, based on the situation at the scene, it was not difficult for Su You to guess what the rabbit went through.

First it strayed into the trap, and then wanted to break free, but it couldn't break free because of the shackles of the string, so it could only move forward with the trap, which is why the trap was not in place.

And in the course of its action, those wooden thorns caused many small injuries to the rabbit.

These injuries may not be much, but just like the elephants can be killed if there are too many ants, as long as the rabbit does not break free, the injury will be continuous.

So the rabbit was consumed to death, just like the stone monster.

Although this rabbit is not big, it can provide a lot of things. Su You hesitated, and finally decided to go back the same way.
