Facing more than a dozen big trees on the ground, Chu Jungui wisely gave up the idea of rolling with his hands and continued making tools.
The stone knives and stone axes currently in hand can complete the work of debranching and peeling large trees very well, and Kaitian is also good at this. So Chu Jungui and Kaitian each dealt with a big tree and quickly peeled off the bark, turning it into a bare trunk. Then Kaitian opened his own brand new function: the Fog Clan Biosaw.
Kaitian first gnawed the treated tree trunk into two-meter-long logs. At this time, Chu Jungui had cut the two bowl-sized trees that he had knocked down into four sections, tied them into two X shapes with the remaining fiber ropes, and inserted them into the ground to form a simple work frame. Then Chu Jungui lifted a piece of log and placed it on the work frame.
Kaitian's entire volume is only 200 cubic centimeters at this time, and its strength is very small. It can barely lift 1 kilogram of weight, and it is far beyond its limit to carry hundreds of kilograms of logs. But its real power at this moment is not in strength, but in eating.
Chu Jungui fixed the log, and Kaitian extended his body into a grid and landed on the log. Then several parallel lines arranged absolutely neatly appeared on the surface of the log, gradually deepening.
Chu Jungui used this time to build a shelf with branches and put it on the bonfire, and then put some branches and leaves on the fire to smoke. Then he built four bonfires in the open space by the river. After doing this, he returned to the forest and saw that Kaitian had returned to his thin human form, and the log had turned into ten pieces, 5 cm thick and 2 meters long. wooden planks.
Chu Jungui picked up another log and placed it on the work frame. This time he wanted a 5 cm square and one meter long piece of wood. Kaitian's workload increased dramatically, and it took him 20 minutes to finish processing this log. During this period of time, Chu Jungui finally made a good stone shovel after failing seven or eight times.
Chu Jungui chose a slope with soft soil and started digging. This sloping land is in a good location, less than 200 meters away from the water source. It is leeward and the terrain is high, so there will be no underground water accumulation. The only disadvantage is that it is relatively close to the forest, but the dangers in the initial area are not yet within the eyes of Chu Jungui and Kai Tian, especially on the first day. If a disaster strikes ten days later, the danger in even the initial area will increase dramatically.
Catastrophe seems to be the external pressure from real dreams that drives explorers to constantly improve themselves and explore.
It was only the first day. According to past experience, even larger carnivores would not be encountered on the first day, but grass-eating animals would appear. These mobile foods are not easy to come by, just think about the success rate of humans catching hares with their bare hands.
As for Chu Jungui's first death, it was purely accidental and happened to coincide with the changes in the world. Now Chu Jungui's understanding of the changes in the world is to clear everything and start over. As to why this is the case, no one knows. The popular saying is that the world needs to settle its rewards before everyone can get back to the starting line. It is true that before the world changes, many survivors will receive rewards, mostly interface sequences of varying lengths, which can be used to increase the number of entries.
Dr. Zero has another view. He believes that the world feels that the surviving explorers are no longer enough to explore the secrets deep in the world, so it has brought everything back to the starting point and placed its hope on new explorers.
Exploring the ultimate secret of the world is still far away. This is something that even Dr. Zero and Austin can't do. Chu Jungui feels that it is impossible for him to accomplish it. The fundamental reason why he participated in this project was actually to hold his thighs.
If a large dynasty cannot be monolithic, the combined forces of the Xu family and the alliance only account for a very small part of the dynasty. The military-industrial and technological complex represented by Dr. Zero is itself a behemoth and has considerable say in the dynasty. However, this behemoth also has many factions within it and is neutral on most matters. The struggle between the Lin and Xu families does not interest it at all.
If Chu Jungui wants to gain its support, he must first make achievements. For now, that is to achieve a breakthrough in exploring real dreams.
The power of Dr. Zero's side can be seen from the identity code obtained for Chu Jungui. This is the product of completely bypassing the dynasty's judicial system. If we strictly follow the rules, even if Chu Jungui stands at the gate of the Xu family, the Xu family will have nothing to do with him, because they have no way to prove that the person in front of them is Chu Jungui. , and trying to prove it is illegal.
Putting aside these big and empty talks, Chu Jungui and Kaitian are currently fighting for survival. Chu Jun returned to build a house to prepare for the night.
Things like a house have a conventional definition in the human mind. General requirements include insulation, ventilation, sturdiness, etc., while advanced requirements include indoor height, views, surrounding scenery, and internal functional rooms. These requirements instinctively point to buildings on the ground. The first thing many wilderness survivors build, even if it is a straw shed, is on the ground.
For Chu Jungui, the first house is mainly about cold protection and safety, and nothing else is important. Therefore, instead of building a house on the ground, it is better to dig a hole in the ground and add a cover. In the end, Chu Jungui chose to dig a pit on the slope, so that there would naturally be three walls. The one facing the lower slope would naturally be the door. Then he would dig deeper and put a bonfire so that the firelight would be blocked and would not be disturbed by people from far away. Found everywhere.
Chu Jungui planned to dig a pit 1.5 meters wide and two meters long, with a wall height of 1.5 meters at the rear and 1 meter at the front. Then he would dig a small pit and a flue close to the front wall of the cave, and put Light branches and cut wood make great heat sources and campfires.
With the physical fitness of the test subject, it is very easy to handle these few cubic meters of earth. Even if the tools are not handy, it can be completed within half an hour.
At the same time, Kaitian, who was manufacturing lumber in batches, discovered an unexpected guest: a rabbit.
This rabbit is about half a meter long and weighs seven or eight pounds. It is quite plump and naturally very strong. As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are anxious. In real dreams, there are no rabbits that do not bite.
This rabbit's front teeth flashed with metallic luster. In addition to gnawing on trees, it would occasionally pick up a stone and chew it like a carrot.
After Kaitian observed it for a few seconds, it turned into a faint mist, then stretched out four circles and quietly wrapped around the rabbit's legs.
After being set up, the fog circle shrank suddenly, and the hair on the rabbit's legs flew away, as if it was strangled by extremely thin wires, and a circle of thin scars quickly cut through the fur and extended inward!
The rabbit screamed, jumped several meters, and hit a big tree next to it. It jumped continuously and rushed around, but in the blink of an eye, its legs gave way and collapsed on the ground.
When Chu Jungui received a message from Kaitian and rushed over with a stone ax, what he saw was a dying rabbit lying on the ground.
Today's dinner is roast rabbit.
When the real dream finally entered dusk, there was already a wooden cover on the slope, which was covered with soil and grass as a camouflage. There were wisps of smoke rising from the tunnel ahead, but there was only a faint glow of fire. Along with the cooking meat comes the aroma of barbecue. The cut rabbit meat was divided into two plates. Chu Jungui took two stones, ground it into fine powder, and sprinkled it on the rabbit meat. These two stones were found near the pool and have a high salt content.
Kaitian actually didn't need salt, but for the sake of ceremony, he sprinkled a lot of the rabbit leg he was assigned, then opened his small mouth and swallowed the rabbit leg that was actually heavier than himself in one mouthful. Go down. Then he saw an extra rabbit leg-shaped bag under Kaitian's head. Kaitian's body turned into a thin layer and was trying to digest it.
Chu Jungui glanced at Kaitian and updated its data. The current volume of the open sky is 210 cubic centimeters and the weight is 210 grams. It has increased by 5% in one day, which is not bad. By daybreak, the increase should reach 10%.
After dinner, it was already dark, and you could hear the wind howling outside, and the cold air penetrated through the barrier of the bonfire and continued to seep into the room.
Time at night was also precious. Chu Jungui placed more than a hundred large and small stones in front of him, and worked with Kaitian to test the composition and physical properties of each piece, and compare them with the data. According to Chu Jungui's plan, after dawn, the metal age will begin. For this reason, Chu Jungui specially built four more bonfires, and then put wood in them to seal them. There would be enough charcoal for use at dawn.
In the real dream world shrouded in night, the danger is gradually increasing.
In the typical representative of danger, in the forest, a figure is leaping silently from one big tree to another. When she squatted on a horizontal branch a few meters above the ground and paused for a moment, the wind blew her short hair, and it was Lin Xi.
She suddenly jumped out and rushed towards a big tree more than ten meters away like lightning, and then her whole body stuck to the trunk of the tree, motionless.
At this moment, Lin Xi was almost completely naked. A pair of long, round and powerful legs twisted the tree trunk, making her whole body seem to be nailed to the tree trunk, motionless. When she jumps, if a branch touches her body, a faint light will appear on the surface of her skin and the branch will bounce away. However, there were still a few unavoidable scratches on her body.
There was a sudden noise in the bushes below, and a beast rushed out!
This was a medium-sized feline beast that Chu Jungui had seen before. It gave him his first experience in a real dream, and now it appeared in front of Lin Xi. As soon as it raised its head, it saw Lin Xi, but it whined and rushed under the big tree like lightning, trying to escape into the distance.
Lin Xi locked her legs on the big tree, with a sharpened wooden spear in her right hand, and threw it with all her strength! The wooden spear roared and was nailed to the ground against the feline beast's scalp!
The beast was frightened, let out a shrill howl, and jumped up on the spot.
Lin Xi still held two wooden spears in his left hand. One of them reached his right hand instantly, and then he threw it like thunder, hitting the feline beast in the air and nailing it to the tree!
Lin Xi jumped down from a height of nearly ten meters, holding the only remaining wooden spear, hunched over, paying attention to the movements in the surrounding forest, while quickly and carefully approaching the prey.
The night wind blew, and her whole body was glowing, like an elf walking in the forest.
