The night in the forest is not quiet. The calls of birds and animals that can be heard from time to time during the day have faded, and the sound of the wind accompanied by the chirping of cicadas makes people even more nervous.
Qi Guang attributed his mood to his inability to adapt to the darkness after losing the light from the fire - the pitch-black darkness made him instinctively think of the time when he was bitten by zombies. Even though he knew his body was intact, he began to feel needle-like pain on his skin.
The feeling wasn't so obvious the first two nights due to the pressure of survival, but now that I have food and drink and can sleep on a sun-dried straw mat, I can't help but start to become pampered.
Qi Guang raised his hand and bent his fingers in the darkness, as if trying to grab something.
The air was stirred by his fingertips, and his skin felt the changes in air flow so subtle that they were almost unnoticeable.
There is wind blowing in from outside.
He turned his head to look towards the cave entrance, where a new layer of curtain had been hung, and the wind blowing in from outside the cave became gentle and soft.
Although it is just a door curtain that can be easily pulled open, the wide open cave entrance is covered as if the cave is isolated into an independent space, giving the survivors who have been tense all day a sense of security to close their eyes and sleep.
The needle-like pain in the skin turned into a dull pain, like the itch of a zombie bite turning into the itch of a wound gradually healing.
Uncomfortable, but bearable.
Fatigue slowly surged up like a tide, drowning my mind that was still struggling to maintain some degree of vigilance.
Qi Guang fell asleep.
A door curtain seemed to isolate all the things he worried about and feared from the outside - no zombies, no wild beasts, and no people's sinister calculations against each other.
He mumbled a few words in his sleep that no one could understand, then curled up slightly and relaxed his brows.
The night is dark and the cicadas are chirping loudly.
The world in the dream is peaceful.
Qi Guang hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and this long-lost dream was too sweet, so when he heard low breathing sounds outside and the sound of branches being stepped on, he didn't notice it at all.
A few rays of moonlight passed through the gaps between the branches and green leaves, quietly casting a veil.
The vines of the door curtain were slightly moved, the visitor's footsteps were light, and the moonlight cast a faint glow on the tips of his fur.
A hint of green flickered through the vines, carefully peeking into the cave through the air.
Qi Guang seemed to be unaware in his sleep, or as if he had sensed subtle changes in the air. He half-opened his eyes drowsily and made confused sounds.
In an instant, the sound outside disappeared.
Qi Guang stared blankly at the darkness for a few seconds. His brain was in a fuzzy state and couldn't function properly. After a few seconds, he was finally pulled back to sleep by fatigue.
There were no more strange sounds outside, only the chirping of cicadas and insects, and crystal dewdrops dripping from the tips of grass leaves.
Have a good night's sleep.
But at this moment, the Star Internet was as lively as every minute and every second in the past.
The seasons change differently on each planet, and the division of day and night in each region of the planet is also different. The late night here may be the daytime there, so the star network has never been truly quiet.
While Qi Guang was dreaming of drinking 300 cups of Coke, a few screenshots of the live broadcast quietly brought him a little bit of popularity.
Star Appearance News: #颜值# The latest submission of the human race little brother! Very very good! Especially after washing his face! Pure and sexy! Everyone says it's good after sucking it! [Screenshot][Screenshot][GIF of raising eyes after washing face]
This was originally a star network account that recommended good-looking people. The only criterion for review and publication was face. Although it was not very popular, it had the attention of hundreds of thousands of fans. Soon after the new submissions were published, they attracted many comments and reposts from fans and bystanders.
I love this little brother!
Once again, I felt the overwhelming superiority of the human race in terms of appearance. The eyebrows and contours are too racially advantageous. qaq.
Even among humans, those with pure black hair and black eyes are rare, and the dominant genes of humans are not reflected in their hair color at all.
She is a textbook-standard beauty of the human race...
Suddenly I can understand why the fish series are so keen on attracting people.
emmmmmm I just think that this appearance is so standard that it seems fake. Photo editing technology is so advanced nowadays, how can you tell whether it is a human or a ghost unless you see it face to face.
Even if we meet face to face, there is a universal makeup, even a cat can be transformed into a tiger [roll eyes]
The person in the front row has a story, hahahaha
After a wave of this, someone else came online to claim his own submission.
Ah, I'm so happy that my submission was turned over! Once again, I strongly recommend our Yingying to everyone! A good-looking and childish treasure boy! Here is also a link to Yingying's live broadcast room. The content is super hardcore, so everyone should be mentally prepared before watching. [Link]
Those who followed the link and were lucky enough would run into Qi Guang’s live broadcast early in the morning.
Qi Guang still didn’t know what happened in StarCraft, and didn’t know why the number of viewers jumped into three digits as soon as he started the live broadcast.
He also didn't notice that there were unexpected guests visiting last night - the guests cleverly cleaned up their footprints when they left, leaving no trace to be traced.
Qi Guang simply woke up as usual and went about his daily morning preparations.
He had a good sleep yesterday, and the door curtain blocked the light of the rising sun, so he stayed in bed a little longer. When he woke up, it was already bright, almost seven in the morning.
"Fortunately, today's schedule is not too full." Qi Guang washed off the mud and dust left over from yesterday in the dim morning light, and demonstrated to the viewers who clicked into the live broadcast room for the first time what it means to be a lotus blooming in clear water (crossed out), thus saving the viewers who were almost scared to quit by the mud on his face.
Before going to bed yesterday, Qi Guang modified the announcement of the live broadcast room and changed the name of the room to (Simulated) Earth in Distress, Survival Day x. The number of days was set to automatically change every day. This not only explained the situation to new viewers, but also was a disguised way of using the live broadcast room as a calendar.
Today is the fourth day of survival. The temperature is hot and the sun is scorching.
After Qi Guang finished washing up, he covered himself in river mud for sun protection amid the screen full of “!!!” and “Ahh!” before going to check whether the pottery he had fired yesterday was successful.
"It should have cooled down completely overnight." Qi Guang dug up the thin soil covering the pottery, took out the small bowl and bucket inside, and knocked on them with a branch.
The sound is crisp, proving that there are no tiny cracks inside. I weighed it in my hand and found that its strength and hardness are also good.
"It worked." Qi Guang cleaned the pottery and put some clean water in it. It was clean and not turbid at all. "You can see there is no loose soil in it. The river mud here can be used to make pottery."
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a happy expression.
Being able to make pottery would allow him to quickly move forward on many of the things on his to-do list, greatly increasing his chances of surviving until next spring.
Qi Guang was in a good mood. The audience who had watched his live broadcast two days ago could understand the cause and effect, but the new audience who had just come in through various channels said that they could not keep up with the pace of the plot development.
What did you say
What succeeded
Anyone who just clicked in and heard the host say that he successfully made pottery would be stunned.
After all, anyone with a little common sense about human history knows that the environmental structure of the earth is extremely special, and many creations of human beings on earth cannot be restored in interstellar space at all, including "pottery" and "porcelain" which are considered to be the origins of human civilization.
Although today's star network technology is extremely advanced, and can use special technology to simulate or even create different landforms, environments, plants and animals, and automatically deduce and complete environmental changes based on known information, there is nothing wrong with wanting to create a new Earth, but the fact is that almost no one dares to touch the Earth.
There is too little data left on the Earth, and even less data related to natural geography. Ninety-nine percent of anything that claims to be an Earth simulation is crudely made to harvest human sentiments.
The anchor is good-looking, but she can’t say anything nonsense.
Many viewers complained in the barrage, but some also gave Qi Guang gifts to celebrate his success in pottery making.
It is impossible to believe that Qi Guang really made pottery. He was just cooperating with the host's performance.
If the anchor says it is the Earth, then it is the Earth. Who cares if the data simulation is full of common sense errors and loopholes
After all, this live broadcast was much more thoughtful than those crudely made things that deceived their feelings about the earth. It was obvious that the host really loved the earth and was not just trying to attract attention. So they were happy to ignore those details and follow the host's routine, just pretending that there was nothing wrong with really being in trouble on Earth.
Who hasn't dreamed of going home, and in the dream imagined the home planet which is more beautiful than any other planet
You know, this year is also the year of finding the Earth. All the Earth-related actions of human beings can be attributed to the onset of homesickness.
"Thanks to [Heaths] for the starship, [Filor] for the spacecraft, and [User 23478354] for the firecrackers*5." Qi Guangxi first read out the list of gifts, and then continued, "Regarding the disaster on Earth... I guess no one thinks it's true? Do you want to guess what technology I used?"
It was too difficult to make the audience believe that he was really on Earth, so Qi Guang thought it would be easier for people to accept if he pretended to be an Earth enthusiast and used special means to simulate the distress situation on Earth.
--Here we also have to consider that if he has points to redeem technological products in the future, he must always leave a way to explain the emergence of high-tech products.
"But if you really can't stand me and think I'm talking nonsense, we can just part ways amicably without forcing it," Qi Guang shrugged and said indifferently, "As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy."
For example, as a pure human being who really suffered a disaster on Earth, he was very happy to see the comments from the interstellar audience.
Even if there were comments mocking his wild imagination and broken brain, when he put himself in the shoes of the fact that he was currently on Earth, he wouldn't be angry at all.
On the contrary, there is a sense of watching the fun of modern people interpreting cultural relics and documents from the perspective of ancient people.
So Qi Guang didn't turn off the barrage, nor was he affected by it at all. With a good attitude, he put his precious pottery in the basket, packed up and started today's work.
There are four main tasks today: digging a puddle by the river, trying to build a kiln to fire pottery, chopping trees to store wood, and collecting vines.
Qi Guang planned to build a pottery kiln by the river, mainly to facilitate the collection of river mud. The raw materials for the pottery kiln were yellow mud made from ordinary soil in the forest and water, and only the furnace grate was made of river mud.
This type of kiln does not have a long service life, and it will be less prone to cracking if it is completely dried before being put into use.
The mud pits dug by the river were to store more fish and shrimp. Qi Guang now had six fixed fishing traps in the river, and basically had a surplus of food every day. He couldn't always rely on small fish baskets to store the uneaten fish and shrimp, so he needed a larger food storage point.
The process of digging the mud pit also brought up a lot of river mud for making pottery. After Qi Guang estimated that the mud pit was large enough, he dug a shallow ditch from the river and diverted water to fill the mud pit.
Because the mud pit was much deeper than the ditch, Qi Guang also inserted a row of branches on the ditch as a barrier, so it was difficult for fish and shrimp to swim back to the river against the current. Qi Guang poured all the fish, shrimp and crabs he had harvested in the past few days into the mud pit, and made a low fence around the mud pit with branches.
In case some wild beast sees that the fish here cannot escape and are easy to catch, we must always take protective measures in advance.
The river mud dug out when digging the mud pit was made into bowls, pots, and barrels of varying sizes, and placed together with the slightly dry pottery kiln to dry in the sun.
These two tasks took up Qi Guang's morning, and the afternoon was spent collecting wood and vines.
This is a daily task that needs to be done every day.
Wood and vines are consumables for outdoor life, and the more they are stored, the better. Qi Guang would also take the opportunity to go a little further to explore the surrounding terrain while collecting them - fishing and catching shrimps is not a long-term solution for survival, and the food reserves needed to survive the winter are far from being satisfied by catching some fish and shrimps every day.
However, Qi Guang did not recognize most of the wild plants in the forest, and was not sure whether they were safe to eat.
Even though he is a foodie and has experienced the hardships of the end of the world, Qi Guang does not dare to easily test his digestive and anti-toxic abilities.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Those who are too confident in themselves often die first.
To avoid dying from food poisoning, it's best not to touch foods you're unsure of.
Fortunately, there is a place in Qi Guang’s memory that may be able to solve his food problem and provide him with food reserves for the winter.
Qi Guang was walking upstream against the direction of the river. This river that runs through the university town in the port area was nicknamed Xiaoyang River by students in the past, precisely because it flows through Shenhainong, the experimental field of Shenyang Ocean Agricultural University.
Yanghe River is the mother river of China, and Shenhainong, as the leading agricultural university in the country, is most famous for its vast experimental fields which are called "Little China" by its students.
Not only are a variety of economic crops distributed across the country densely planted there, but also countless high-yield, drought-resistant, pest-resistant and even experimental varieties that can grow in saline-alkali land are cultivated.
In other words, if Shen Hainong's experimental field could be found along the Xiaoyang River, even if only one in ten of those cash crops were left and had become seriously wild, it would be more than enough to feed Qi Guang's mouth.
It can even allow him to evolve from fishing and hunting to the farming era, obtaining a safe, stable and diverse source of food.
Moreover, Shen Hainong not only has experimental fields, but also has breeding farms and offshore breeding farms covering a large area. Qi Guang suspected that the sheep dung eggs he had discovered before were from the descendants of the sheep raised by Shen Hainong.
Thinking of the self-raised chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and ham in the Shenhainong canteen, which is famous in the university town, Qi Guang swallowed.
