This kind of giant pheasant whose name is unknown is so ugly that people can't bear to eat it, but I didn't expect it to taste quite good.
Zhang Heng had eaten seafood on the island for so long that he almost forgot what chicken tasted like, but the chicken soup stewed at night brought back his long-standing memories.
In fact, strictly speaking, this meat is rougher than chicken, and it may be closer to pigeon in terms of taste.
But for Zhang Heng, who is already craving meat, this is the best chicken he has ever eaten in his life.
He couldn't finish a meal of a chicken weighing more than ten kilograms. The remaining meat was smoked into jerky after removing the internal organs and soaking in sea water, and hung it under the eaves.
He found a sunny piece of land behind the house, cut and planted the yams he was using as seeds, burned some plant ash and sprinkled them as fertilizer, and finally built a fence, hoping that the place would be available to him in a month and a half Bring surprises.
Zhang Heng used to record the time by engraving orthographic characters on the wall, but after moving he couldn't bring that stone wall over. Fortunately, there is still a starfish on his right hand.
With its incredible hardness beyond all scientific explanations, Zhang Heng used it to polish stones in the early days.
According to the position of the hour and minute hands above, he can deduce the current date according to the simple conversion relationship. Two hundred and one days have passed since he landed on this desert island.
The clothes on his body were the first to rot, and then there was a big hole in his shoes. Fortunately, in the tropics, even in winter, there is no need to worry too much about the temperature. Zhang Heng is now bare-chested during the day.
His skin was tanned, his beard was unshaven, and his hair became a messy mess.
This afternoon Zhang Heng put down all the work at hand, chose a rock wall by the sea and climbed up, sat cross-legged on it, and quietly looked into the distance.
About half an hour later, the old friend Zhang Heng was waiting for appeared on time.
The explorer struggled in the waves, looking as if he might drown at any moment.
Looking at the ups and downs of the figure, Zhang Heng looked very troubled.
The great philosopher, mathematician, and historian Russell once said that his life was dominated by three simple but strong emotions—longing for love, pursuit of knowledge, and pity for human suffering.
However, for Zhang Heng now, things are a little simpler.
There are only two things that support him to survive these 500 days-going to the center of the island to see and the explorer who will float here every forty days.
The former keeps him busy and takes less time for his thoughts, while the latter serves as a reminder that he's not alone.
Zhang Heng had thought of fishing the explorer out of the sea countless times.
As long as the other party is dragged ashore, someone can spend nineteen days with him, giving him the communication and warmth from the same kind that he needs most now.
But Zhang Heng didn't do anything for a long time.
He remembered a movie he had seen before called "The Rest of a Deserted Island". The plane the protagonist was on crashed, and he landed on a small island with a bunch of packages. In order to survive, he unpacked all the packages. Save the last one, because that package meant hope to him.
Now the explorer who comes back every 40 days has the same meaning to Zhang Heng.
He has been on this island for more than 200 days, which is equivalent to five rounds of game time for ordinary players, and his return to reality is still far away.
If the explorer is rescued now, he will die after 19 days, and he will be completely alone for the rest of the day.
Although he still lacks everything after his field survival skills have been upgraded to lv1 (for example, he really wants a game console, even if he only brings Tetris and Snake), but he is no longer as good at improving his skills. It was so urgent when I first landed on the island.
In contrast, the center of Exploration Island still needs a helper. Of course, he can do this by himself, but two people are safer after all.
Therefore, Zhang Heng plans to rescue the explorer and let him accompany him deep into this virgin forest.
Zhang Heng also verified one thing from Ed and the boy in shorts, that is, although they are both experts in wild survival, they focus on different directions.
The knowledge taught by Ed is mainly based on the basic skills of survival, while the boy in shorts is more inclined towards manufacturing. Judging from the outfit of the explorer, he is likely to be an expert in exploration if nothing else happens. If you catch him at this time It was a little embarrassing to get up.
Therefore, Zhang Heng still restrained the desire in his heart and watched the explorer man being swallowed by the waves for the fourth time.
Reluctantly forgetting to glance at the direction in which the other party disappeared, Zhang Heng jumped down from the rock wall and continued his archery training step by step.
It took him a month to increase the accuracy of the 30-meter distance to more than 90%.
As a result, I did not receive any skill upgrade tips.
Zhang Heng didn't feel discouraged either, and this was within his expectations. The game is very strict on the identification of skills. He has learned English for 14 years, and his mother tongue Chinese is only a lv1 in terms of language. However, considering There are still so many languages in the world, and this classification is fair.
The same is true for survival in the wild. Zhang Heng feels that if people from all over the world are thrown on desert islands, even if he is not the last person to survive, he should be able to enter the top ten, but he is also a partial comparison. Seriously, he might not be able to eat like this in other harsh environments, such as polar regions or deserts, he would be able to survive. This is the biggest gap between him and a real expert.
Therefore, Zhang Heng was not in a hurry when it came to archery skills.
After improving the accuracy by 30 meters, he began to try to shoot dynamic targets.
At first, Zhang Heng used the fish swimming near the coral as a target, but after shooting two arrows, he remembered that his sight was deflected in the water.
So I switched to crabs as targets. However, crabs belong to the immovable type, and the training effect is not very good. As for the birds, Zhang Heng did not consider them at the beginning. The main reason is that most of them stand on the top of the tree and shoot them out. arrows are difficult to recover.
Zhang Heng tried a few times and finally chose broken pottery shards to make his own targets. He strung them with ropes and hung them on tree branches. When the wind blows, they will float with the wind.
In this way, it becomes difficult to shoot again.
This time, Zhang Heng had to practice for two full months before he could figure out how to do it. During this period, he accidentally harvested another giant "pheasant" with a rough appearance, and it was still in good condition. This thing got here somehow. Next to Zhang Heng's vegetable garden, he probably wanted to sneak in to steal a free breakfast, but his head got stuck by the fence.
Zhang Heng thought about it, but he was not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, he found a rope and tied one end to one leg of the thing and the other end to a wooden stake, so that he would have a 2.0 upgraded version of movement. target.
Zhang Heng wrapped up the carbonized arrowhead, and then started a brutal molestation with the pheasant.
