Zhang Heng would count the days at first to see how many days are left before his return.

But later he found that doing so had no other effect except to make himself feel frustrated. Time is such a thing, the more you stare at it, the slower it will go.

So Zhang Heng simply stopped recording the date, and when the yams he had planted had harvested the fourth round, he finally received the long-lost notification sound again.

[Archery skills have been upgraded from lv1 to lv2, you can go to the character panel to view related information...]

Zhang Heng quickly walked back to his tile-roofed house, and found the starfish buried in the corner. After putting it on, he realized that he had stayed on this deserted island for 385 days, more than a year.

Although it is not comparable to the famous Robinson Robinson, it is incredible enough for a city dweller.

In fact, Zhang Heng has now fully adapted to life in the wild.

In order to make his living more comfortable, his tile-roofed house and vegetable garden have undergone two rounds of expansion. The former has changed from a single room to a three-bedroom and one living room, and floor heating has been installed. The output of the latter has already exceeded his consumption. , Zhang Heng cut the excess yams into pieces with a stone knife, and dried them in the sun to get 100% natural baked potato chips.

In addition, he also found onions in the woods and transplanted them into his own small vegetable garden. After doing all this, he took the time to build a fish pond, bathing pool and breeding garden next to the hut.

There are fish and crabs that he can't finish eating in the fish pond, and the "pheasant" with its head stuck in the fence has become the first batch of residents of the breeding garden.

Zhang Heng has shot it for a month and a half and it has already shot it out of the shadow of his heart. When he first came, "I am not afraid of anyone who is capable, you can give me a good time" when he first came. Now he is an empty-nest old man with dull eyes and dull eyes. .

Zhang Heng also felt a little sorry, so he restrained the urge to eat it and instead kept the latter in captivity, thinking that he might be able to get some eggs to eat, but this dream came to an end after one day he discovered that it seemed to be male. shattered.

Forget it, let's keep it as a pet, Zhang Heng named "Pheasant" Mickey Mouse.

Compared with fish, birds, and crabs, at least this thing has a higher IQ, and it can interact with it after a long time.

Zhang Heng's hit rate within 10 meters of the dynamic target has reached 80%, and 50% after 30 meters. After receiving the notification that his archery skills have been upgraded to lv2, he knows that it is finally time to leave.

So he spent ten days preparing portable food for two people, and one month's rations for Mickey Mouse, and then made two spears from the toughest wood as melee weapons.

On the 400th day, when the explorer came from the sea again, Zhang Heng paddled a self-made raft and came to the other side.

"Thank you, friend! Are you an aborigine on this island? The boat I was on sank in a strong typhoon. I was the only one who swam here, but I was also exhausted. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid this time would be a disaster." .”

"..."

Zhang Heng was speechless, how could I look like an aborigine

He lowered his head and looked at his reflection in the sea. Well, this appearance is indeed a standard native. He has stayed on this desert island for too long, and most of the original things have been broken except for the watch.

But no matter what, it is always a joy to see the same kind. Zhang Heng has not spoken to anyone for almost a year, and he was also very excited after seeing the explorer, and handed him the wooden bucket containing fresh water.

"My name is Zhang Heng. I am not an aborigine here. I was in a shipwreck just like you, but that was a year ago."

The explorer's complexion recovered a lot after drinking the water. At first, he was worried that the native rescued him to prepare dinner, but now that he knew that the other party was a civilized person, his face also showed joy.

"My name is Bell Boutley, I served in the British 21st Airborne Special Service, climbed Mount Everest, and finally chose to become a presenter, explorer and author... You said you have lived on the island for a lifetime Years? That's a pretty remarkable thing."

"Strictly speaking, I still have two companions, but they failed to make it through." Zhang Heng paused, and tried to ask again, "Do you remember the two people who fell into the sea with you? "

"The person who fell into the sea with me?" Bell didn't look like he was lying, "I really wanted to save people when the accident happened, but at that time a big wave came over and knocked me out, and I saw it when I opened my eyes. This little island."

"..."

Zhang Heng was not surprised by this answer, but was a little regretful. Since Bell had no memory of Ed and the boy in shorts, he probably didn't remember the year he spent in the sea.

He was quite curious about how the game would fix this bug, but in the end he just pretended to be stupid.

After paddling the raft to the shore, Zhang Heng brought Bell to his hut.

"Did you build these by yourself?" Bell couldn't help admiring after seeing the tile-roofed houses with a 180-degree sea view, the vibrant vegetable garden, and the pond full of fish and shrimp, "I feel like I There is nothing left to teach you, because even I can't do better than you."

Just as he was talking, his eyes fell on Mickey Mouse in the breeding garden who was sighing for a long time about the hardships of life, but he was taken aback.

Zhang Heng thought that Mickey Mouse's appearance made him ugly again, and was about to introduce the two of them when Bell suddenly said excitedly, "Oh my God, what did I see?! Dodo, there are still people in this world. There are live dodos!!!"

This time it was Zhang Heng's turn to be stunned.

Of course, he is no stranger to the name of the dodo. According to records, this bird lived well on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean until it encountered a group of European colonists. As a result, a catastrophe happened and it was extinct in just two hundred years. Now, there is not even a complete specimen.

Zhang Heng really didn't expect that he would eat the national bird of Mauritius just by eating it casually.

But since it's in the game, it won't be too surprising what happened.

Seeing Zhang Heng's calm expression, Bell on the side was a little surprised, so he kindly explained to someone, "The dodo was completely extinct in 1681. There have been different opinions about the reason for the extinction. Some people say that European colonists ate them up. Some people say that the animals carried by the colonists caused the biological invasion, and others said that it was because of the change of the ecological environment... But no matter what, they have all disappeared on the earth. In 16 years, only a skeleton of a dodo bird was sold for 500,000 At a high price in sterling, what you find on this small island will shock the whole world."

It's a pity that this is just a game world, and the script outside the island is basically blank... Zhang Heng added in his heart. But he couldn't just explain it to Bell, so he thought about it and changed it to a more acceptable way of saying, "Bell, even if these are really dodos, we have to find a way to leave this island before showing them." to the world."

"You're right." Bell agreed. "The presence of dodos on the island is not good news for us. It means that no one has ever boarded here. I'm afraid this place is not on any route."

"I've been on the island for more than a year, and I'm pretty familiar with the periphery. Next, I want to go to the center of the island... Well, maybe I can find a way to go back."

"Then let me go with you, I think I can still help in terms of exploration." Bell was very straightforward, "When are we going to leave, tomorrow?"

"No, no... wait for two more days, so that your body can fully recover, and by the way... chat with me too." Zhang Heng looked eagerly at the explorer.

"???"
