Section 10 Reproduction

The bonfire finally started to burn under Chen Zheng's careful care.

"Gu~~~~~"

After busy for a long time, Chen Zheng felt even hungry. His stomach was empty, and only the increasingly thicker gastric juice was swaying with the movement of his body. The movement was a little larger, and he felt the illusion that gastric juice was about to come out of his throat.

At this time, the star in the sky had crossed the highest point, and half a day passed without realizing it.

Chen Zheng swallowed his saliva, moistened his hot throat, and lowered his head to continue working.

The fire is already there, and you need a container to boil water. Chen Zheng picked up the lump of wood that he had split before and looked at it. He picked up the larger half ball and dug it out with a dagger in the middle.

That's right, he wants to make a "bowl".

The wood of the big tree is very hard and the tools are not suitable for hand, so it is very laborious to dig it out.

As the wood chips fly at the tip of the dagger, the shape of a wooden bowl begins to gradually take shape. The later Chen Zheng takes the knife, the more cautious he is. The thinner the wall of the bowl, the larger the solvent, the better the heat conduction, but the thinner the more likely it is to break. Once the hand shakes and pokes the previous process, it will be in vain.

"call……"

Chen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and pursed his chapped lips.

But this is not over yet. You can't set the fire directly on the fire. Chen Zheng came to the fire with the prepared wooden bowl. After so long, the snow on the ground had been roasted and the ground mixed with snow water became muddy.

Chen Zheng used the bark to scoop the mud and evenly paste it on the bottom of the wooden bowl, and then put it on the fire. As the flames kept licking the bottom of the bowl, the mud gradually hardened and turned into a protective layer wrapped in flammable wood.

Seeing that the mud was hard, Chen Zheng used a wooden stick to peel off the bowl, put it on the stove next to it made of stone, shoveled some snow and put it in the bowl.

As the heat gradually rose, the snow at the bottom began to melt. Chen Zheng stayed by the stove and stirred it with wooden sticks from time to time.

The heat conductivity of snow is very poor. If it is not stirred, it originally looked full of a bowl, but after cooking for a long time, it is still full of snow. The stirring of the wooden sticks allows the unmelted snow to melt into the hot water below. As the snow water increases, then just put the snow blocks directly into the snow.

Finally, a bowl of hot fresh water was ready.

The warm water moistened the chapped lips, rolled across the throat and slid across the esophagus into the stomach, making the whole body warm. Even the gastric juice was diluted a lot, and the burning feeling in the stomach finally subsided a little.

"Huh... I'm alive..."

Chen Zheng sat on the bark, took off his shoes and leaned against his feet, holding the hot fresh water in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh happily.

After struggling for more than half a day, the fire rose and the freshwater was replenished. The day was almost over.

The sun is tilted westward.

Sitting by the fire and looking at the water to rest for a while, Chen Zheng stood up again. While it was not dark, he had some other work to complete.

The replenishment of water solved the urgent problem, but the precious time was still passing. Next, Chen Zheng wanted to find food as soon as possible within 3 or 4 days.

Although according to scientists' predictions, humans can live for about 7 days by drinking water without eating, in fact, as they get closer and closer to this period, the human body will become weaker and weaker. If they do not rush to obtain food when they are physically hunting and gathering, they will eventually become weaker and starve to death because they are unable to catch them.

However, hunting is still very difficult for Chen Zheng, who has no body and only has a dagger. He cannot run fast, jump high, and still cannot see clearly inaccurately... The only thing that is better than animals is wisdom.

That's right, Chen Zheng asked for help from ancient wisdom again.

When it comes to hunting, what comes to mind is people carrying hunting rifles and driving jeeps and carrying three or five friends on the plains, or following the guide and hunting dogs to pursue the footprints of their prey in the jungle...

However those impressions are far from the hunt actually carried out for survival.

The old hunters' guns are more often used to defend themselves or put iron sand to hit birds like pheasants. Their prey source is more carefully arranged traps and beasts. Among them, the lasso traps are the oldest, simplest, and most practical for Chen Zheng. This is also the origin of the old hunters' "hidden XX (prey name)".

In order to obtain the ropes for making the trap, the material must be prepared tonight - the bark.

He picked up the bark that Chen Zheng used as a cushion and tore off a thin layer of membrane-like fiber from the inside of the bark. This layer is between the wooden layer and the bark layer, and is the toughest part of the bark fiber.

Tear off the tear-off film into thin fibers and placed it beside it, and Chen Zheng returned to the woods with a wooden stick and a dagger.

It was not until the sunset shone red that Chen Zheng stopped working, spread the torn fibers on the bark, and finally poured a lot of water into the snow cave with a pile of stones that still had residual heat.

There is more bark in the snow cave as a mattress, and thick hay is covered with.

Chen Zheng stuffed a few warm stones into the hay and then got in.

Today, after drinking the water, the cold snow was no longer there, and the body and face were warm.

When you get up tomorrow, you will first use the dried fibers to make ropes, and then explore the surroundings. It would be great if you can see the footprints of some small animals. Then put a lock trap and go and check it out for a while. There will be fat rabbits to eat...

Chen Zheng, who had been tired for a day, just fantasized about roasted rabbit meat, beggar chicken and other foods, while falling asleep with hunger.

...

"Gu~~lululululu~~~"c

The next morning, Chen Zheng was awakened again by the protest sounds from his stomach.

But this time he didn't rush to get up, but looked at his hands with some confusion.

It's already dawn.

The light shone in through the ventilation hole, and the white snow reflected the light, illuminating the entire snow cave. Chen Zheng pursed his cracked lips and opened his eyes wide to observe the slightly blue snow.

I don't know if it's an illusion...

...Why do you always feel that something is different?

Air?

Light?

Or something else?

If you change the person to Chen Zheng's perspective, you may think that you are having an illusion of hunger - the air is still the air of yesterday, the sunshine is still the sunshine of yesterday, and you have nothing different than today's hunger than yesterday.

But for Chen Zheng, he had indeed felt the feeling of being clear and clear, as if the whole world was in his control!

That’s right! It’s when the pendant is activated!

Chen Zheng suddenly pulled out a pendant from his neck...

……really!

It is emitting a faint blue light!!

Just like when he was activated before!!

Did something happen before?

Chen Zheng frowned and pondered.

Could it be...
