48 Hours a Day

Chapter 18: Desolate Island Survival (12)

Zhang Heng wasn't too surprised, mainly because he knew it was just a game, so theoretically he wouldn't be surprised if he found Pooh Bear deep in the forest.

But for the moment, Zhang Heng also has to admit that everything around him is absolutely true. If the extra 24 hours on him didn't cause a major problem with the length of the game, he wouldn't have found any bugs either.

In addition to the houses and stoneware, they also found a small lake next to them, about a hectare, from which Bell picked up water to taste, and then said, "Drinkable, this is a freshwater lake, no wonder they'll build a village nearby. ”

Zhang Heng, however, was attracted to the half-cutting that came out of the sludge by the lake.

“This tribe… do they already have the skills to smelt metal? ”

Zhang Heng pulled out the truncation and found it to be a rusty and powerful iron apparatus, which seemed to have been mounted on a piece of wood, but the truncation was no longer looking good.

Zhang Heng studied it and found that he had no idea what it was for.

Bell is not all-powerful, and he also doesn't know what this thing is for, just analyzing, "They should still be in the Stone Age at the technical level, so this iron is probably not theirs. ”

It was late, the two of them didn't go any further, and Sorceress found a place nearby to start cooking.

Zhang Heng's mood is a little complicated as he gets closer to the end of his journey.

For more than a year, he has been relying on the idea of going to the center of the island to support himself in practicing arrows every day, keeping exercise, which has become almost a physical instinct, but how much he really cares about what's there, it's not really that much.

From this point of view, Zhang Heng is sometimes very envious of Ed, Bell and others. They can comfort themselves by saying that maybe there will be a boat landing tomorrow or something in the center of the island to help me go home, but as a player Zhang Heng is very clear, time can't go anywhere.

When he thought about tomorrow, he was going to solve the mystery. He was excited, excited. After all, he was thinking about a year, but more confused.

What will he live on when this is over?

Fortunately, four fifths of the time has passed, and for the next hundred days, even if we can't find a new target to bite our teeth, we should survive.

The third morning, Zhang Heng woke up early, but when he opened his eyes, he noticed that Bell was up earlier.

“Morning, Zhang.” The explorer greeted him with enthusiasm, "I just walked around the lake again, guess what I found? ”

“Uh... new breakfast? ”

“That's true, I did catch a sturgeon and try to change flavors, but besides that, I found something else.” Bell placed two rusty little spheres in Zhang Heng's hand.

“What is this? A marble? ”

“It's bullets.” Bell Road.

“Solid bullets, how do you fire them?” Zhang Hengxuan, he is not a weapons fan, but he still knows the basics. Modern weapons are propelled by gunpowder ignition inside the bullet, and nothing can be struck without gunpowder.

“Remember what you found by the lake, I know what it was.” Explorers are excited, "Fire rope guns, which were used extensively in Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, were separately packed with gunpowder and bullets and ignited with fire ropes… It was at a time when the black slave trade was flourishing that the indigenous people living here were most likely attacked by slave hunters, all of whom were taken and sold to the farmers. ”

This speculation is reasonable and in line with what they see now, Zhang Heng has already intended to accept this statement, but half a day later, when the two of them came to the center of the island and saw the suspected altar building and the pile of white bones on it, Zhang Heng asked the explorer beside him, “Are your European slave hunters so brutal in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries? ”

“… this is not the work of the Slave Trappers, it is a bloody dark time, and as far as I know, the slave traders will indeed kill those who dare to resist and deter others, some of them too old and too young to be transported together. ”

Bell walked up to the altar and picked up a skull, "but... it wasn't their style. ”

“If the slave squad didn't kill the indigenous people on the island, who killed them, was it themselves?” Zhang Heng stunned both of them with one word.

The architectural style of this altar is very similar to the relics they encountered by the lake before.

“Well, the slave trappers killed on the island, and these Aboriginal eyes were invincible, and then they ran to this altar and ended their lives themselves… that's a little hard to say. ”

Bell walked into the white bones in the center of the altar and squatted down and wiped the dust off the tablet with his hands, "There is something else here, a totem, painted by a creature whose upper body is a human being and whose lower body is a snake, and it seems to be the gods that the indigenous people worship. ”

Zhang Hengliu was somewhat disappointed. Although he did not care much about what was in the center of the island, he would still be frustrated to find indigenous relics of no use to himself.

After all, he had been preparing for the whole year, and when he came all the way here, he was in danger of being swallowed up by the python, and he just found a bunch of bones and a altar.

But he saw that Bell seemed very interested in that pile of things, and didn't urge each other.

Both of them had plenty of food and water, less than half of what they had brought before, and Bell hunted down a lot of "wild" along the way. Although the vast majority of them seemed a little confused about how to shut up, the taste was surprisingly good.

Zhang Heng is considering whether to go directly through this forest to the other side of the island and walk back along the coastline.

But at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from behind the altar and jumped onto the explorer above.

Zhang Heng was frightened. This time without Bell and Kopp, he already recognized what that thing was.

- The leopard, king of the rainforest, is a large predator at the top of the food chain with sharp teeth and sharp claws that can easily hunt down Cayman crocodiles.

Bell reacted quickly, however, and the explorer rolled over, dodging the thunderous blow of the beast, then pulled out a knife in his waist.

Zhang Heng also quickly removed the bow and arrow behind him, but immediately followed by a leopard.

This time, Bell's face changed.

Are you kidding? Zhang Hengdazheng, according to theory, it is now four days before the explorer's drama kills, but these leopards appeared so early, could they get the wrong script?

But now there is no time to give him more thought. Bell is in a dangerous situation. He just can't deal with two leopards alone. Zhang Hengben bows with an arrow, and the second leopard with an arrow.

The latter is very agile to use a longitudinal jump away, Zhang Heng is not too surprised. The distance between the two sides is now about 278 meters. Usually, this distance is 56% of the hitting rate of his shooting mice. The leopard's body is higher than that of a dodo bird. I don't know where it went.
