48 Hours a Day

Bell was in good physical condition, and although he drifted so long at sea, exhausted and on the verge of dehydration, he recovered in less than two days as long as he was given enough food and fresh water, plus a good resting environment.

Zhang Heng, however, was not in a hurry to get on the road. The size of the island was not small enough. It would take him about eight days to walk around the periphery. After entering the pristine forest, the speed would still decline, but it would only take about three days to get from where he lived to the center of the island.

Without surprise, Bell's standby time is 19 days, which means they still have plenty of time to prepare.

After two days together, Zhang Heng also basically understood his new companion's abilities.

Unlike Ed and Brother Shorts, Bell's wild survival skills tend to favour hunting and self-help, which is exactly what it takes to explore the pristine forests.

Zhang Heng can now make the vast majority of tools and has basic survival skills such as finding a place to live and water sources.

However, from the monotonous variety of vegetables in his garden and the monotonous mice in his farm, he doesn't really know much about the nature he's in today.

Especially with regard to species identification, Zhang Heng, or modern people living in cities, has always been a weakness.

In fact, there are many other types of plants in the forest, but Zhang Heng doesn't know if they can be eaten, or where they can be eaten, because he fears poisoning and only dares to dig back the recognizable potatoes and onions.

The animal situation is similar, Zhang Heng has always disliked the ugliness of rice mice. It was completely unexpected that the latter were still extinct Mauritian national birds.

And now the rescued explorer can finally make up for this last shortcut.

With no time left to burn, Zhang Heng and Bell made a trip to the surrounding island outside the forest.

The latter taught him how to identify and access resources in the forest.

Zhang Heng couldn't help but be emotional. The year before him was really violent. He was sitting in a treasure trove, but he had no idea how to extract.

But listen, Zhang Heng feels a little strange, because almost all the creatures that appear in front of Bell end up getting a 'cut off their heads and eat' rating.

“ ………… ”

On the morning of the tenth day, the two men returned to the tile room and Zhang Heng was satisfied with the harvest of the excursion. Even if there was nothing in the centre of the island, he would have benefited greatly from the 10 days alone.

Besides, Bell is a great listener and chatterer.

The two men took a day off in the tile room, and Zhang Heng planted the vegetable seeds collected during the trip into the vegetable garden. During this time, he actually received another message.

Successfully collected more than ten vegetables, wild survival skills increased from lv1 to lv2, game points +5, you can go to the character panel to see relevant information…

Zhang Heng still doesn't know exactly what the so-called game points are for. Counting the previous times, he has already earned 16 points, which can be clearly found on his character panel.

In his view, this thing is kind of like an achievement system, which can be obtained when certain conditions are met, like the 11 points in front of it coming from fire, house building and hunting, respectively.

However, Zhang Hengya didn't tangle with this kind of thing too much. He usually belongs to the companion type of player when he plays games. Just clear it. There is no hardcore player who must achieve the kind of paranoia of hegemony. This time is purely for one person to play for too long, even if you don't want to achieve it.

In addition, he noticed a slight change in the review bar.

[Rating: The player is no surprise, there are not many commendable places, but with some wild survival and arrow skills, it is not expected to survive the first five rounds of the game.

Zhang Heng was a little curious. He thought his arrow skills were pretty good, and he also had the knowledge to survive the harsh environment. Can't he make it to the fifth round? What are the other players like?

This thought just flashed through his mind, and then Zhang Heng focused on what he was going to do.

After a night's rest, the fatigue of both was almost recovered and their physical condition was at its peak.

Now it's time to get back to business.

Zhang Heng put his long bow and arrow basket on his back and divided the dry food and fresh water that he had prepared before bed last night into two portions. He and Bell took one each, and if they saved money, they would be able to survive in the forest for an entire week.

Plus, with Bell, the human hunter, there's no need to worry about supplies.

Then Zhang Heng pulled out the two spears he had made before as melee weapons, while Bell shook his head, and he pulled out the knife between his waists, "This is enough for me. ”

Zhang Heng was a little envious, seeing that knife he remembered his Swiss army knife in heaven... he had not seen the iron vessel since it fell to this deserted island, thinking that when he was with Ed, he had done the feat of sawing trees with clam shells, even now the spear in his hand was only used after carburizing the front end and polishing the tip.

It works fine, but after all, it's not as good as Zheng's equipment.

Not to mention the fact that the knife looked pretty sophisticated and had Bell's name engraved on it.

“If you like, I'll give you this knife when we're safe, and you can come to my house as a guest, and I'll introduce you to my wife and son. ”

Zhang Heng thanked the explorer politely, even though he knew the day would not come.

After all the preparations, the two officially penetrated into this pristine forest.

Just the first night Zhang Heng realized how fortunate it was to have Bell with him.

He was most prepared, but clearly underestimated the danger here.

It is impossible for a person to remain alert 24 hours a day, especially when forest nights are not quiet, and there is always something in the dark that sounds from the sand behind the bushes.

Zhang Heng remained vigilant in the first half of the night. He gripped the spear in his hand as soon as there was any wind and grass blowing. However, he found it impossible to go on like this. The consequence of not sleeping overnight was that the next day his spirit would shrivel and his reaction would be dull.

Zhang Heng forced himself to close his eyes.

It took me a while to ignore those sneaky sounds into a half-dream half-wake state, but at this moment I felt something rubbing my stomach.

However, this was Zhang Heng's most tired time of the day, he did not wake up in the first place until something wrapped around his body, and the tighter he contracted, Zhang Heng felt a little bored, and opened his eyes to see the dish on himself.

This is a python, estimated to be more than 3 meters long, with a thicker body than Zhang Heng's little arms, a white belly, and brown cloudy spots on the back.

Zhang Heng tried to break free from its entanglement, but found that his arm could not be lifted at all. The closer he got to that thing, the more he felt that his bones were going to be crushed.

But good thing his struggle awakened Bell beside him.

“Burmese python, a subspecies of Indian python, one of the six largest species of serpent in the world, is common in the rainforest, with great power and few natural enemies, but not without weaknesses.” Bel touched the tail of a giant python with one hand and somewhere gently stabbed it, and the body of the Burmese python miraculously softened.

“Anal, Python snakes are usually the most vulnerable places, and attacking this position can win you time to escape. ”

When Zhang Heng succeeded in escaping, Bel explained as he inserted the knife into the head of Myanmar's rock python.

“Lucky we have breakfast set for tomorrow morning. ”
