Chapter 1: Lucky Day
The air was cold and fresh, and Takato who walked out of the room took a deep breath and looked up at the sky after mustering up his courage.
There was no sun, no alien spaceship, and thick clouds obscured everything.
Although he knew that the spaceship was still in place, and he couldn't see it, but it was just that the clouds obscured his vision, but it was enough to bring a sense of security to Takato.
It's been two months since the aliens came.
For the past two months, Takato has been looking at the spaceship in the sky every day, but the time he spends staring at the alien spaceship has become shorter and shorter.
The alien spaceship has never moved, and everyone has to adapt to the spaceship's existence.
He didn't stare for long, his sore arm reminded him that it was time for Takato to train day in and day out.
The skill that Takato is working on is throwing stones.
If the stone could be thrown quickly and accurately, it could smash small animals such as pheasants and hares, which primitive man did, and now Gao Yuan intends to do the same.
Pick up the stone, wave your arm vigorously, and smash the stone at the target ten meters away, the target the size of a ping-pong ball falls on the stone, and the stone hits the mound of dirt behind the target, barely making any sound.
Picked up a stone again and threw it hard, this time the stone failed to hit, but although it didn't hit, it also brushed the past, and this accuracy made Gao Yuan quite satisfied.
Repeating the action of throwing stones fifty times, Gao Yuan ended his training early, and after finding that it was a little difficult to lift the chopsticks with a sore arm last night, Gao Yuan had already decided to reduce the amount of training.
Any skill requires a long period of training, fifty shots and forty-one hits, and it only took two months to practice to this point, which has made Gao Yuan very satisfied.
Gao Yuan needs a healthy and well-conditioned arm to deal with all kinds of possible crisis situations, so although he urgently needs to master a key skill to survive, he still has to reduce the amount of training to protect his arm, too much he still understands.
After the training, it's time to go hunting for prey.
This is the depths of Taihang Mountain, there are many wild animals, small animals pheasants and rabbits are the most common, large animals are the most common wild boars, and it can even be said that they are overflowing.
Roe deer are rarer, but Takato is sure there are roe deer, as he has seen them twice.
Gao Yuan's hunting targets were wild boars and roe deer, and he laid a lot of traps, but for nearly two months he did not get any prey.
Gao Yuan is not in a hurry, because he knows that he is not a hunter, so he still needs to grope his way to learn how to hunt, which takes time, and what he has is time.
It is worth mentioning that hunting does not break the law now, because since the arrival of aliens, the only species on Earth that needs to be protected is humans.
With a spear in his left hand, a long hunting knife hanging from his belt, an axe and a saw in his backpack, and a stone in his right hand, Takato armed himself well.
It took a long distance to check all the lassoes that had been set, and it was necessary to climb up and down in the mountains and forests where there were no roads, which at first made Takato very painful, but he was very adaptable, and now he didn't feel too much pain for the long journey.
It's winter, the temperature in the mountains is very low, and the leaves are basically gone, but the MC all-terrain camouflage is still outstanding in the background color of brown and yellow, which makes it difficult to easily spot Takato in camouflage when he is advancing.
Just set off not far away, after just turning the corner of the abandoned Yamada, Takato suddenly stopped.
A flock of pheasants, more than a dozen, the nearest rooster was less than ten meters away, and was still looking down to feed in the grass.
Without much thought, Gao Yuan raised his arm, and then quickly threw out the stone that he had been holding in his hand.
The pheasant suddenly raised its head, and then it was hit on the head by a high stone.
The smashed pheasant fell to the ground, and the rest of the pheasants flew out in fright, and Takato immediately ran towards the pheasant he hit.
The pheasant that was hit was not dead and was still struggling, Gao Yuan ran over and stepped on the pheasant, and then attached himself and grabbed the pheasant's head, and when the pheasant was fluttering hard, he flicked his wrist to let the pheasant spin in the air, so the pheasant whose neck was broken immediately stopped struggling.
This is not the first time Gao Yuan has seen a pheasant, nor is it the first time he has smashed a pheasant with a stone, but this is the first time he has hit a pheasant.
Gao Yuan's excitement can be imagined, but what makes Gao Yuan happiest is not that he has pheasants to eat today, but that the skills he has been practicing for a long time have finally come in handy.
Finally, Gao Yuan hit his prey in the true sense of the word for the first time.
The first prey arrived, but the hunt has just begun, and it looks like luck is good for today, maybe more catches.
Gao Yuan thought so, and after more than half an hour, he found that today's luck was really good.
As soon as he walked near a mountain spring that had not yet been frozen, Gao Yuan found a bush shaking, and there was a trap he had set up for roe deer.
In stock!
Gao Yuan immediately dropped the stone in his right hand and ran over with his spear in his hand.
Then, something unexpected happened.
A noose made of wire was firmly tied to a small tree at one end, and a wild boar was struggling with the noose.
Gao Yuan was a little surprised to see the wild boar, because he wanted to set a roe deer, but now there was a wild boar in the noose, although this wild boar was not very big, but it was more than a hundred catties.
Why is it said to be an accident, because this is a lasso for a roe deer, not a wild boar.
Is there a difference?
Of course, there are differences, not only but big differences.
It is enough to use a lasso made of iron wire for a roe deer, but a steel wire must be used for a wild boar.
And now the situation is a wire noose against a roe deer, but a wild boar is already very threatening, what will be the consequences of this, that is, the wild boar can break the noose!
Anyway, a wild boar was in front of him, and Gao Yuan, who was surprised and delighted, didn't think much about it at this time, he instinctively went up and stabbed a spear.
The first time he tried to stab a living creature with a spear, Gao Yuan subconsciously reserved his strength, which was simply soft.
Gao Yuan stabbed the area under the armpit of the boar's front leg, which is the heart and lung area of all animals, as long as this spear can be pierced, the wild boar will die quickly, or even instantly.
But the boar kept staggering, so Gao Yuan stabbed crookedly, and instead of stabbing the central lung area, he stabbed the boar in the buttocks.
The wild boar had almost broken the wire, and the wild boar that had been hit by a spear struggled desperately, and the wire lasso broke silently in an instant.
The spearhead was still on the boar, and before Gao Yuan collected the spear, the wild boar shook his head and rushed out to meet Gao Yuan, and at this time Gao Yuan was still clenching his spear hard, and under the combined action of two strong forces in the opposite direction, the spear shaft snapped and broke into two.
The wild boar had lost control, and Gao Yuan only had half a spear shaft left in his hand.
The injured boar raised his head and arched at Gao Yuan's thigh, Gao Yuan didn't have time to make any dodge movements, and his body was arched to the side as soon as he tilted his body.
Wild boars are wild boars, and their explosive power is not comparable to domestic pigs, let alone humans, but fortunately, this wild boar is small, and there are no fangs on its mouth, otherwise this time it is definitely enough to make a fatal hole in Gao Yuan's legs.
Gao Yuan lost the ability to resist, but out of animal instinct, the injured wild boar's first reaction was to run for his life, rather than fleeing for his life after killing Gao Yuan to avenge his death.
The wild boar galloped away, still holding half of the spear shaft in his hand, looking at the small piece of wire left on the tree, and then looking at the spearhead that fell on the ground, Gao Yuan, who was lying on the ground, wondered if he was dreaming.
How did the trap of the roe deer hit the wild boar, and how did the meat run away?
Gao Yuan was annoyed for a while, looked at the blood stains on the ground, and then thought about the position and strength of the spear he had just stabbed, so he felt that he should still chase after it.
The wild boar will definitely die of blood loss, even if you don't know the length of time, you should chase it, maybe you will be able to find the dead boar soon, with this hope, Gao Yuan no longer hesitated, picked up the spearhead that fell on the ground and immediately followed the blood.
Over the mountains and through the dense forest, Gao Yuan kept carefully watching the bloodstains, tracking his first prey.
It had run a long way out, and the blood stains were getting less and less, and it was becoming more and more difficult to see, and several times it took a long time for Takato to regain the traces of blood or boar running, but this also meant that the boar had not much blood to shed.
In other words, the boar is dying.
Gao Yuan was very excited to chase, which made him barely feel tired, but after he passed through a small dense forest, a path suddenly appeared in front of him, which made Gao Yuan instantly nervous.
I was really afraid of something, and when I looked forward along the path, Gao Yuan immediately lifted half of his spear.
There was a wild boar lying on the side of the road less than twenty meters high, but behind the wild boar stood a man.
Some people are not afraid, but Gao Yuan is afraid of the zombies that people have become.
Gao Yuan raised half of the spear, and the person who was pointed at by Gao Yuan with the spear also immediately raised a kitchen knife after discovering Gao Yuan.
Raise a knife?
It's good to raise a knife, and if you can hold a knife, it means that you are definitely not a zombie.
If it wasn't for a zombie, he wasn't afraid, and his heart immediately calmed down and he was happy, because he finally met a living person, and he finally saw the kind of person he had been looking forward to for a long time.
Looking at the person holding the knife, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, no matter who the other party was, as long as he could see the living person, Gao Yuan would be ecstatic from the bottom of his heart.
Why?
Because Gao Yuan couldn't help but wonder if he was the last living human on earth, he knew that this possibility was actually unlikely, but he was really afraid that he was the last human being.
Now, knowing that you are not the last human in this world, of course, is worth rejoicing, and all those who are in the same situation as Takato will be happy, because this is human nature.
Secondly, Gao Yuan is happy because he is facing a woman, and he is a young girl.
A girl who looks thin and poses no danger.
Today is indeed a lucky day.
