48 Hours a Day

Chapter 14: Desolate Island Survival (8)

This giant wild chicken with no idea what its name is makes people talk. I didn't expect it to taste good.

Zhang Heng had been eating seafood on the island for too long, and had almost forgotten what chicken tasted like, but the chicken soup stewed at night reminded him of it for a long time.

Actually, technically, the meat is rougher than the chicken, probably closer to the pigeon in taste.

But for Zhang Heng, who already wants to eat meat fast, this is the best chicken he has ever eaten in his life.

He couldn't eat a dozen pounds of chicken, and the rest of the meat was removed and soaked in sea water and smoked into meat jelly, hanging under the roof.

He searched behind the house for a land with better sunshine, cut the potatoes in his hand as seeds and planted them, burned some grass and wood ash and sprinkled them for fertilizer. Finally, he surrounded the fence and looked forward to the surprise of the place in a month and a half.

Zhang Hengyuan originally recorded the time by engraving the wall, but after moving, he couldn't have moved that stone wall, which was good for Starfish on his right hand side.

With its incredible hardness that transcends all scientific explanations, Zhang Heng also used it to grind stones in the early days.

Depending on the location of the clockwise and minute hands above, he can extrapolate to the date he appears in a simple conversion relationship, two hundred and one days after he landed on this deserted island.

His clothes rotted first, then his shoes broke a big hole. Fortunately in the tropics, even in winter, don't worry too much about the temperature. Zhang Heng is now naked during the day.

His skin was tanned in bronze, his beard was pulled, his hair was stranded, and some of the edges were not trimmed.

This afternoon Zhang Heng let go of all the work at hand, chose a rocky wall along the coast to climb up, sit on the disc knee, quietly looking at the distance.

About half an hour later, Zhang Heng's waiting old friend showed up on time.

Explorers struggle in the waves, looking like they could drown at any moment.

Zhang Heng stared at the undulating figure, and the divine color was also very tangled.

The great philosopher, mathematician and historian Russell once said that his life was governed by three simple and intense emotions - a desire for love, a quest for knowledge and compassion for human suffering.

However, for Zhang Heng now, things are simpler.

There are only two things that support his survival for 500 days - going to the center of the island to see and an adventurer who floats every forty days.

The former keeps him busy and reduces the amount of time he thinks, while the latter reminds him that he is not alone.

Zhang Heng doesn't know how many times he has thought about getting the Explorer out of the sea.

By dragging him ashore, someone can spend 19 days with him, giving him the communication he needs most now and the warmth of his kind.

But Zhang Heng didn't do it.

He remembered a movie he had seen before called "The rest of the Island", the plane crash in which the hero was flying, and he landed on an island with a bunch of parcels, and in order to survive, he opened all the parcels, leaving only the last one, because the parcel meant hope for him.

The explorer who now returns every 40 days has the same significance for Zhang Heng.

He has spent more than 200 days on the island, equivalent to five rounds of gaming time for regular players, and his return to reality remains elusive.

If you save the Explorer now, wait 19 days before they hang up, and he'll be completely alone for the rest of his life.

While he still lacks everything when his wild survival skills rise to lv1 (for example, he wants a console very badly, even with Russian squares and snake-grabbing), he is no longer as desperate for further upgrading as he was when he first came to the island.

In contrast, there is a shortage of help to explore the centre of the island, something that he can certainly do alone, but it is safer for both of them.

Therefore, Zhang Heng plans to save the explorer and let the latter go deeper into the original forest with him.

Zhang Heng also verified from Ed and Brother Shorts that although they are both experts in wild survival, they can focus in different directions.

Ed's knowledge is dominated by the basic skills of survival, while Brother Shorts prefers the manufacturing category, which is likely to be an adventurous expert if not surprisingly dressed as an adventurer, which would be a little awkward if he were caught up at this time.

Therefore, Zhang Heng still restrained his heart's desire and watched the explorer swallow by the waves for the fourth time.

Forgetting the direction of the other party's eventual disappearance, Zhang Heng jumped off the rock wall and continued his arrow training on schedule.

It took him a month to bring the 30-metre distance forward to more than 90%.

No skill upgrade prompts were received as a result.

Zhang Heng was not discouraged, which was also unexpected. The game was very demanding in terms of skill recognition. He learned English for 14 years, and his mother tongue, Chinese, mixed only one lv1 in terms of language. However, considering that there are so many languages in the world, this ranking is fair.

Likewise, the same is true of wild survival. Zhang Heng felt that if he did not live to the last person, he should be able to make it to the top 10 now, but he is also more biased. In another bad environment, he may not be able to eat like this. For example, in the polar or desert, he can choke to survive, which is the biggest gap between him and real experts.

Therefore, Zhang Heng is not in a hurry in terms of arrow skills.

After boosting his 30-metre accuracy, he started trying to shoot dynamic targets.

Zhang Heng initially targeted the fish swimming near the coral, but when he shot two arrows, he remembered that his gaze was deflected in the water, so he might have practiced his arrows.

Therefore, the crab was used as a target. However, the crab belonged to the invincible type of immobilization, and the training effect was not very good. As for the bird Zhang Heng, it was not considered at the outset, mainly because most of them stood on the top of the tree, and the arrows shot out were difficult to recover.

Zhang Heng tried several times and eventually chose the fragmented ceramic pieces to make his own targets, stringing them together on the branches with rope, and when the wind rises, it will float with the wind.

This makes it harder to hit again.

Zhang Heng practiced this time for two months before he touched the doorway. During this time, he unexpectedly harvested another giant “wild chicken”, and it was still in good condition. This thing somehow ran to Zhang Heng's vegetable garden. He probably wanted to mix in for a free breakfast, and his head got stuck in a fence.

Zhang Heng thought about it. Instead of eating it in a hurry, he found a rope, tied one leg of this thing, and tied one to a wooden stake, so that he had a 2.0 upgraded mobile target.

Zhang Heng wrapped up the carbide arrows and then started an inhumane trick on the wild chickens.
