"A sago tree, please."
Zhang Ming wanted to eat the prune and vegetable flatbread from his hometown. He salivated over the thought and smeared mud on his body to avoid mosquito bites. He silently collected all kinds of strange plants while watching out for the movements around him.
Land animals, still not.
I saw a few sea snakes, and a lot of fish in the sea.
He did not dare to hunt casually in places where he was unfamiliar.
Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat!
He discovered...
A fiery red toad, squatting on the root of the tree!
"Quack!"
The bright red skin and two huge protruding eyeballs indicate that it is not a creature that is easy to provoke - the words "Don't mess with me" are almost written on its face!
In particular, the toad was as huge as ever, even taller than himself.
"Quack!"
The fiery red tongue extended dozens of meters and easily pierced a fish in the sea.
When a toad was larger than a human being, and its tongue could be more than twenty meters long, the overlord of the earth, the "terrible upright ape", expressed that he was under great pressure, his legs were trembling, and he just wanted to escape.
"Fortunately, I was more cautious and didn't make too much noise."
Zhang Ming held his breath and tightened his grip on the spear in his hand. He was not sure whether the other party had noticed him, and he did not dare to turn his back to the enemy.
Step by step, move backward quietly.
The toad seemed to sense threats in its surroundings, and was slightly agitated. Its huge cheeks bulged out from time to time, its retreating muscles were straightened, and it no longer hunted fish.
"Don't worry, theoretically toads don't have static vision."
"Don't worry."
Zhang Ming backed away slowly, feeling that his palms were beginning to sweat.
After confronting the toad for more than ten minutes, the toad finally couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up high with a "bang" sound.
This jump was actually 40 meters high, as high as a ten-story building!
However, the toad did not jump in the direction of Zhang Ming. It seemed to want to escape in a hurry.
At this flash of lightning, a golden lightning shot out from another direction, split the air, and struck the red toad viciously!
"Squeak!"
A hot burning smell filled the air.
The free plasma made Zhang Ming's hair stand up one by one. His pupils dilated and he looked into the distance in disbelief.
After the red toad was struck by lightning, its skin was already in the shape of coke and it fell in mid-air.
A huge eel jumped out of the water, its layers of scales reflecting golden luster in the sun, and its huge wild body dancing wildly in the air. Along with a beautiful parabola, the golden eel caught the red toad that fell in mid-air.
Finally, he dived back into the water with a "crash" sound.
The mangroves calmed down again, and no one thought that there would be a battle between mutant life forms here.
Time, one second.
Zhang Ming witnessed this battle with his own eyes and stayed where he was, motionless.
It took several minutes to calm down.
He smiled bitterly: "It turns out that the red toad was confronting the golden eel, and I was just being sentimental..."
Zhang Ming deeply felt what it means to be a "fighter among rookies."
This mangrove forest is the high-level dungeon. The battle between these mutated beings is simply like a fight between gods. They can jump dozens of meters away. The battle with super powers such as lightning and long tongue is dazzling.
The winner is determined in just a split second.
But, but, he really wanted to eat that toad and that eel!
The ability of high voltage electricity…
Really... so powerful!
"If I had such an ability, my chances of survival would be greatly improved."
Zhang Ming quietly retreated from the mangrove forest, sweating profusely, but eager and excited to try.
A whole new world opened before his eyes.
He no longer wants the sago tree, and is thinking about how to kill the golden eel and gain its abilities.
The reason why humans have jumped to the top of the earth's food chain is because they have higher intelligence than other creatures and have learned to use tools.
"Relying on brute force is not advisable."
Zhang Ming quickly thought of several interesting ideas, but he only had one life, so he had to be cautious and not rush forward.
"We'll think of a solution when we go back."
Before leaving, I scraped some bark and roots and collected many unknown plants. Maybe there are seasonings in them? .
…
…
The guy from Mirage No. 16 has entered the jungle!
People across the country were in a state of panic.
The boy from District 16, who had been struggling for a month, once again made a puzzling move.
Even Li Xianfeng and others who were originally going to launch satellites slowed down their pace and stared at Mirage No. 16 one by one.
"He, why did he enter the mangrove?!"
"Could it be... that you were tempted by some kind of monster?"
"impossible!"
Of the 16 teams in Mirage, 13 have failed.
Under such circumstances, Li Xianfeng and the others couldn't help but not worry, and even their hair stood on end.
"What's going on? He should have plenty of food reserves..." Calls were answered and hung up one after another. A large number of psychologists analyzed Zhang Ming's behavior through various clues.
The final conclusion is - loneliness.
Human needs are advanced step by step. Food is available, water is plentiful, and shelters are built. So in the following days, will we hide in the shelter all day long with nothing to do, no entertainment at all, and sleep after eating?
Of course it's impossible.
"So, he may be looking for some ingredients to live a more civilized and comfortable life."
When he analyzed this result, Li Xianfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He could understand Zhang Ming's approach, but he was a little anxious.
In the end, I could only comfort myself: "I'm not crazy, it's pretty good."
A mirage is not an all-round surveillance without blind spots. It is like a fixed camera looking out from a distance. There are many details that cannot be seen.
As for what happened in the jungle, there is really no way of knowing.
Three hours later, people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhang Ming reappeared in the field of vision with his face covered with mud and his whole body soaked. He kept picking various plants along the way.
As for domestic followers, they also launched a small wave of discussions on the Internet.
"It turns out that I went to collect plants... wouldn't it be good to eat crabs and coconuts?"
"Maybe I'm going to vomit after eating it. Who can bear it if I eat it every day? But crabs are so expensive nowadays, hundreds of dollars per pound, so I can't afford it!"
"Please, what he eats is mutant life. On the black market, it's 100 million yuan per pound. There's a price but no market."
When people across the country saw the boy from District 16 alive and well and without any injuries, they immediately lost interest and went back to their homes to look for their mothers.
Foodies even started talking enthusiastically, turning District 16 into a food broadcast.
"I would like to see what other delicious food there is on the island. Watching him make coconut sugar there every day gives me a sense of accomplishment."
"I want to see him eat too! He can eat bugs too!"
