Survival In the World of Beasts

The dense rainforest is full of tall trees. Judging from the height of the sun, it should be noon, but it is very gloomy because of the cover of dense vegetation. Obviously, the competition for plants in this forest is very fierce. Higher branches and wider canopies mean more sunshine and rain and a greater chance of survival. The branches and leaves spreading densely from top to bottom made Li Shizhao feel a kind of suffocation in the noon sun.

The long-sleeved jacket is really sultry, after all, it is used to keep out the wind. The Pengxia Reservoir, which was previously planned to be visited, was built on the canyon and the wind was strong. Of course, the jacket was a good choice. But after seeing table tennis-sized mosquitoes flying between the treetops, Li Shizhao immediately stopped taking off his jacket. After all, no one knows whether these mosquitoes are poisonous, and he just wore a short-sleeved T-shirt inside. He had to unzip his clothes and leave it open first.

At present, the primary self-defense problem to be solved, just to see that there are so many herbivores here from a distance can only show that there are also many carnivores. The ecological chain is so fucking. Fortunately, in the forest, it is still easy to find a handy stick. He chose the trunk of a small tree with many thorns on it. After carefully removing the branches and roots, the damage to it was still not good. Too satisfied. He originally wanted to tie the knife to the wooden stick, but considering that the knife itself was small and not very lethal, and if it was broken or lost, he really didn't know where to cry. I had to find a stone, look at the shale, smash a small stone knife, grind it into the sharp shape of a spearhead, and tie it to the top of the wooden stick with that thin, dry rattan. Whether it is a stabbing or swinging this wooden stick, it has a certain degree of lethality, and it is long enough to keep a certain safe distance from the beast.

The forest is full of thick humus leaves, and the soil is moist, it is very slippery when you step on it, even the professional hiking shoes on your feet are not so slip-resistant. Of course, judging from the fact that he could fall off, the hiking shoes are just a joke, and he can only use the wooden stick on his hand as a trekking pole.

Then try to move forward to a relatively safe place. Don't think about the wide river. The abundant water source means that it will attract a large number of herbivores and further attract a large number of carnivores. The results of watching from afar just now show that both herbivores and carnivores in this world are much larger than those on earth, which may be the reason why the oxygen content here is relatively rich, but for ordinary people like Li Shizhao It's too dangerous.

Li Shizhao discovered that reality is far more cruel than he imagined. He felt that he hadn't left for long before he drank the little water left in the bottle under the drive of thirst, and he had to hurry to find water. While the sky is still bright and the sun is shining, many predators will not be active at this time. He needs to solve the problem of water sources and accommodation tonight. Generally speaking, some water sources will attract predators, but it seems that the water sources in this forest should be quite abundant. He believes that he should not be so lucky to just meet the animals that come to the water to hunt.

Not only is there a lot of insects in the forest, but you can also see the silhouettes of small animals flashing past the tall trees quickly and quickly, and there is no time to judge what it is. Li Shizhao also saw a mantis catching a cicada with his own eyes. After the oriole was behind, he was just leaning under the tree to rest. The dazzling feathered bird swallowed a large insect on the opposite tree, and it was too late to digest it. , I saw the green shadow flashing, a snake with a thin arm entangled it tightly, and it was swallowed by the snake in less than a quarter of an hour. Looking at the long green strip lying lazily on the branch for digestion, if he hadn't just seen the swallowed bird, he would have mistaken it for a thick green vine. And looking at the length, it was definitely more than one meter. I dispelled the idea of ​​using that snake to add food. He looked at the nest where there were no birds waiting on the tree next to him. He climbed up decisively and carefully found a stable drop. Point, stretched out his arm to reach that branch, and it took a lot of effort to put the three bird eggs into his pocket. The dinner was settled, so it seems that climbing in the woods is really an important skill.

Li Shizhao walked along the footprints of the small animals found on the ground and heard the sound of water. The small stream of water flowed over a rock wall. It was very narrow, probably formed temporarily, and many fallen leaves fell on it. It seemed clear, Li Shizhen drank half full, opened the bottle awkwardly and filled it with his hands.

Relying on this small water source, Li Shixun does not plan to trek anymore today. He chose a big tree that is strong enough to hug at least seven or eight people. There is a flat ground under that tree. The terrain is still relatively high. It was easily submerged by water, and then he planned to rely on the tree trunk and set up a temporary tent with branches. Without a machete, he could only collect the branches on the ground, or cut down the branches under the tree with stones a little bit. Considering that it was too cold to sleep directly on the ground, he first spread a layer of branches on the ground, and then a thick layer of dry leaves and hay. Then began to trim the branches, inserting one end of the branch deeply into the ground, and tied the other end with a moist rattan, barely forming a support. There are many plantain-like plants in this forest. The leaves are very wide. Li Shizhen is not afraid of trouble. He collected many plants and spread them densely on the tent. This place is so humid, and there must be a lot of rain. If it rains and catches cold in the middle of the night, it will definitely be half-life. These leaves can block the rain, and it is not bad to spread more.

Many trees in this forest are pine, cypress and fir trees. The fallen branches and leaves seem to be dry. When Li Shizhen picked up the branches, he also picked up this kind of leaves and put them in his clothes next to the tent. Some looked like Spread it on a temporary "bed" if it is softer, and put it aside if it looks dry and easy to burn, and prepare it for fire. After working for a long time, the main reason is that the efficiency is too low. These branches are not easy to deal with, people are tired enough, and there are many red scratches on the slender and fair hands. Li Shizhao sees that there is not much bleeding, and it should not be. What animals would be attracted, just simply rinse with water. Seeing that the weather is not too early, Li Shizhao was afraid of encountering large animals or started the bonfire early, so he was more relieved, so he didn’t do anything to deal with it. Here, there is really nothing delicate. Capital.

After all, it is more convenient to carry a lighter. He first put up the pile of dry branches on the ground, and then put the dead leaves on top, and used the lighter to light a little hay in his hand and put it in the pile, which quickly ignited It looked like the dead leaves of a cedar tree, the burning process went smoothly, but the smoke was a bit big, after all, the place was still too wet.

Li Shizhao prepared enough fuel and piled it beside the tent. It seemed that there was no better way to defend himself. I hope everything goes well in the evening.

Speaking of it, this method of making a bonfire was learned when the whole class went to the Inner Mongolia grassland to play. At that time, he was regarded as the main laborer. He was turned around by the Queen, and the art was not overwhelming. Now he is using it. Li Shizhao stared at the fire blankly, the smiling faces at the bonfire last time, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to see him again in his life.

He was awakened by the sound of leaves in the nearby bushes. He was relieved when he saw that there was nothing terrible like suddenly appeared in the movie, wiped his sweat, wiped his face, and shaken off the sudden emotions. Li Shizun was in the fire. I dug a small hole beside the pile, thought about it, and put a layer of wet mud on the bird eggs, and then buried it in the ground. While waiting for supper, both hands and feet were aching. After all, he was either climbing or grinding the broken branches all afternoon, but he did not dare to take time off. Thinking of the sound of the leaves just now, he was a little scared, as if he didn't do something. Panic whatsoever.

I collected some shrubs around and did not cut them off. I plucked those that could be pulled directly. Some short and moist branches were not let go. They slowly formed a small wall next to the tent. One can also buy him a little time to climb the tree, after all, he is not sure that all the beasts are afraid of fire in this strange place. While the sky was still bright, he took out his notebook and wrote down all the things he encountered today, as well as the plans and arrangements he needed for tomorrow, as if such a habit as in modern times could make him temporarily forget the current anxiety.

No matter how uneasy Li Shizhen is, how ominous he feels, the thick twilight still descends. In the bright lights of the city, human beings have long since abandoned their fear of darkness. However, when a person is alone in the dense forest and thinks about how many unknown and terrifying beasts are lurking around, Li Shizheng feels nervous swallowing food. pain. It seemed as if an unknown animal howled from a distance, and the sound was like a wolf, and it seemed as if there was a sharp cry not far away, which made him feel chills, because he knew it was some hunters who were claiming the right to occupy the territory. Or the voice of contacting a companion while hunting. All the terrible beast attacks that I have seen in my mind and the green eyes that appeared in the dark and dense forest in the movie, thinking about this, even the rustling of the wind blowing leaves becomes even more terrifying.

He took a sigh of relief, tightened his clothes, and did not dare to put down his backpack. Li Shizhao added a lot of firewood to the fire, burning the fire vigorously, making himself warmer, and forcing himself to ignore everything. All kinds of terrible sounds, ignoring the **** smell brought by the night wind, and then lying on the temporary "bed" with his backpack resting on his head. Of course, the haystack is not as comfortable as the usual bed, but today is so tired, if he does not try to rest and regain his strength, he is afraid that he will not have the strength to cope with tomorrow. After all, today is relatively smooth, and there is no big danger that cannot be dealt with. In this kind of place, you never know what kind of fatal danger you will face next second. Only by maintaining sufficient physical strength at all times, staying vigilant and ready to deal with all possible emergencies, rest at night is too important to restore physical strength. Slowly adjust your breathing, relax your emotions, use everything around you as a background, and slowly close your eyes. Even if you are too nervous to fall asleep, it is good to close your eyes and rest.

Under the starlight, in the forest, killing is everywhere, countless lives can no longer see the dawn, without the so-called compassion of human beings, the killers here are only for food and to survive. In the hunt, if the predator is injured, they will also become the target of other animals. This is the law of the jungle. The weak and the strong eat, either hunting or being hunted.

The bonfire lit by Li Zhizhu was like the sun in the dark.

The night is still very long.
