This kind of giant pheasant that I don’t know its name is so ugly that people can’t bear to eat it, but unexpectedly it tastes pretty good.
Zhang Heng has been eating seafood on the island for so long that he has almost forgotten what chicken tastes like, but the chicken soup he stewed in the evening brought back long-standing memories.
In fact, strictly speaking, this meat is still coarser than chicken, and may be closer to pigeon in terms of taste.
But for Zhang Heng, who was already craving meat and was going crazy, this was the best chicken he had ever eaten in his life.
He couldn't finish the chicken weighing more than ten kilograms in one meal. The remaining meat was removed from the internal organs, soaked in sea water, smoked into dried meat, and hung under the eaves.
He found a piece of land with better sunshine behind the house, cut up the potatoes he had made seeds for and planted them. He also burned some plant ashes and sprinkled them as fertilizer. Finally, he put up a fence, hoping that this place would be available to him in a month and a half. Bring surprises.
Zhang Heng originally recorded time by carving straight characters on the wall, but after moving, it was impossible for him to move the stone wall over too. Fortunately, he still had the starfish on his right hand.
With its incredible hardness that surpasses all scientific explanations, Zhang Heng even used it to polish stones in his early days.
Based on the position of the hour and minute hands above, he could deduce the current date based on a simple conversion relationship. Two hundred and one days had passed since he landed on this desert island.
The clothes on his body were the first to rot, and then his shoes also had a big hole. Fortunately, we were in the tropics, so we didn't have to worry too much about the temperature even in winter. Zhang Heng was simply shirtless during the day.
His skin was tanned, his beard was unkempt, and his hair became strands, a bit unkempt.
This afternoon, Zhang Heng put down all the work at hand, chose a rock wall by the coast, 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 like he might drown at any moment.
Zhang Heng looked at the ups and downs of the figure with a very troubled expression.
The great philosopher, mathematician, and historian Russell once said that his life was dominated by three simple and strong emotions-the desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge, and pity for human suffering.
However, for Zhang Heng now, things are simpler.
There are only two things that support him to survive these 500 days - a visit to the center of the island and the adventurous man who floats here every forty days.
The former keeps him busy and reduces the time he spends wandering, and the latter reminds him that he's not alone.
Zhang Heng had thought about fishing the explorer man out of the sea countless times.
As long as he drags the other person ashore, someone can accompany him for nineteen days, giving him the communication and warmth from his kind that he needs most now.
But Zhang Heng didn't take action yet.
He remembered a movie he had watched before called "Cast Away". The protagonist's plane crashed and he landed on a small island with a bunch of packages. In order to survive, he unpacked all the packages, except Save the last one because that package meant hope to him.
The adventurous man who comes back every 40 days now has the same meaning to Zhang Heng.
He has been on this island for more than 200 days, which is equivalent to the time of an ordinary player's Wu Lun game, and his return to reality is still far away.
If the adventurer is rescued now, he will die in 19 days, and he will be completely alone for the remaining days.
Although he still lacked everything after his wild survival skills reached level 1 (for example, he really wanted a game console, even one with only Tetris and Snake), he no longer wanted to improve his skills further. It was so urgent when I first landed on the island.
In contrast, Discovery Island Center still lacks a helper. Of course he can do this alone, but two people are safer after all.
Therefore, Zhang Heng planned to rescue the explorer and let the latter accompany him deep into the primitive forest.
Zhang Heng also verified one thing from Ed and the shorts guy, that is, although they are both experts in wild survival, their respective focuses are different.
The knowledge taught by Ed is mainly based on basic survival skills, while the shorts guy is more interested in manufacturing. Judging from the adventure man's dress, if nothing unexpected happens, he is probably an expert in exploration. If you catch him at this time It's a little embarrassing to get up.
Therefore, Zhang Heng still restrained his desire and watched the explorer man being engulfed by the waves for the fourth time.
Reluctantly forgetting to glance at the direction in which the other party last disappeared, Zhang Heng jumped down from the rock wall and continued his archery training step by step.
It took him a month to improve the accuracy of the thirty-meter distance to more than 90%.
As a result, I did not receive any skill upgrade prompts.
Zhang Heng did not feel discouraged. This was also within his expectation. This game is very strict in determining skills. He has studied English for 14 years and his native Chinese is only level 1 in terms of language. However, considering There are so many languages in the world, and this classification is considered fair.
The same is true for survival in the wild. Zhang Heng feels that if everyone in the world is thrown on a desert island, even if he is not the last person alive, he should be able to enter the top ten, but he is also partial to science. Seriously, he may not be able to survive in other harsh environments, such as the polar regions or deserts. This is the biggest gap between him and real experts.
Therefore, Zhang Heng was not in a hurry when it came to archery skills.
After improving his accuracy by thirty meters, he began to try shooting at dynamic targets.
Zhang Heng initially used the fish swimming near the coral as his target, but after shooting two arrows, he remembered that his sight was deflected in the water. If he continued to practice like this, his archery skills might become distorted.
So he switched to using crabs as targets. However, crabs are immobile 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 out. The arrows are difficult to recover.
Zhang Heng tried several times and finally made his own targets using broken pottery pieces. He strung them with ropes and hung them on branches so that they would float in the wind.
This makes it harder to hit the target again.
This time, Zhang Heng practiced for two full months before he got the hang of it. During this period, he unexpectedly got another ugly-looking superstar "Pheasant", and it was still in perfect condition. This thing somehow got there. Next to Zhang Heng's vegetable garden, he probably wanted to sneak in and have a free breakfast, but his head got stuck on the fence.
Zhang Heng thought about it, but he didn't rush to eat it. Instead, he found a rope and tied one end to one of the thing's legs and the other end to a wooden stake. In this way, he had a 0-upgraded version of movement. target.
Zhang Heng wrapped up the carbonized arrowhead, and then began an inhumane molestation of the pheasant.
