Chapter 9 There is something wrong with this island
Time passed slowly, and now Yi Han has been on a desert island for a week. This week, he was not idle, and continued to explore the desert island.
This side of the mountain is very small and doesn't have much to offer. But on the other side of the mountain, it was a vast small plain, and it took several days for Yi Han to explore only a small area.
However, after a few days of exploration, Yi Han did not gain much. Except for the first day of the discovery of some wild fruits and plants, the following days were similar to the first day, which seemed a bit boring and monotonous.
However, after a few days of exploration, Yi Han could be sure that this desert island was safe and not dangerous. He set up a small camp on this side of the mountain, stocked up on some food and water, and didn't have to climb over the hill every day and then go to the wagon to rest.
The camp is not big, just a small shack built with wild grass, and some simple defenses around it.
The trees on this side of the small plain are sparse, but there are many wild grasses, and more than ten species have been found in Yihan. The most common of them is a grass called sword grass by Yi Han.
Yi Han didn't know what this grass was, the reason why it was called sword grass was because this grass had leaves in the shape of a sword, and the edges were very sharp, so it was easy to cut your hands if you weren't careful. And this grass is tough, and the roots are difficult to cut. But this grass is already the easiest to cut off of all the plants found so far.
It took Yi Han almost a day to barely cut off a small pile of sword grass, and in order to avoid scratching again, he also made a pair of simple gloves.
After the shack was erected, Yi Han was here for the past few days. Fortunately, he brought a lot of food, which he could eat for four or five days. This frees him up for several hours a day to explore.
Now he can explore about five miles a day, and he has explored more than twenty miles in a straight line. Now that he could smell a salty smell in the sea breeze, he estimated that he should be almost at the beach.
Sure enough, it took nearly three days or so for Yi Han to see the beach again, on the other side. During this time, he returned to the van to replenish supplies. It was found that nothing had happened on the side of the truck, except for the fact that there was a lot of guano on the body.
Yi Han has always been exploring in one direction, and now when he stands on the beach and looks back, although there is a slight deviation, it is not a complete straight line, but it is not much worse.
He estimated the distance, and the side of the wagon, plus this side and the place occupied by the hill, was nearly forty miles, that is, twenty kilometers. Although the narrow side has not been explored, it can be estimated that it is more than twenty miles, that is, ten kilometers. In other words, the area of this deserted island is more than 200 square kilometers.
This area is close to half of Zhoushan. If one lives here, the island is already a big island. However, the only thing that surprised Yi Han was that the resources of this island were very poor.
After exploring for so many days, although it is all in a straight line, the actual exploration area is less than one-tenth of the island, but some conditions can be seen.
The good thing that can be determined at the moment is that the island is safe and no danger has been detected. Even the animals are few.
The disadvantage is that there is a lack of resources, and the taste of several wild fruits found before is very unpalatable, after some verification, although it is not poisonous and can be eaten with confidence, but the taste is really difficult to swallow. For a long time, we have relied on seafood. Because there will always be a day when the food in the car will run out.
After the longitudinal exploration, Yi Han made some summaries and formulated the next plan. The next step was to prepare to go on a rampage. Although there were all kinds of indications that the island had few resources, in case the line he chose was more unlucky. No one can say until it's all explored. Especially at the foot of the mountain.
The hill is not high, but it is long, and it completely divides the island into two unequal halves. There is nothing on either side of the mountain, but what about the foot of the mountain? What about the mountains?
Another week has passed, and Yi Han's exploration has not stopped, and it is steadily advancing. For a week, starting with a small campsite, Yi Han on the left side of the camp has been explored along the foot of the mountain.
The harvest was the same as before, very little. Except for the discovery of several unpalatable wild fruits, the harvest was pitiful. I found a few small caves, but they were all empty, and there was not even a single bird. Yi Han couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Finding nothing one after another, Yi Han was a little disheartened. The meaning of what he is exploring now is the desire to survive.
In the past half a month, he has not seen any planes flying overhead, and there are no ships in the sea. He still doesn't know where he is. He was desperate to find answers on this deserted island. Although he found nothing, he always felt that there was some secret on this island.
A not-so-small island has few resources available, which in itself is somewhat unusual. Although desolation means safety, but too desolate always makes people shudder, this island has a lot of vegetation, but few animals are pitiful, very weird.
Yi Han had already begun to explore the mountains on the right side of the camp, and although he was a little disheartened, he still didn't dare to be careless. After falling on this desert island, from the initial panic to the gradual peace of mind, now he has a trace of trepidation.
Sure enough, the discovery on the third day confirmed his suspicions. But he would rather that this speculation would not be fulfilled, that the island would be so desolate and barren. But time can't be turned back, and he can't be allowed to leave this area.
He looked at the scene in front of him in shock. It was at the foot of a mountain, and there was a strange area at the foot of the mountain where there was no grass, and in this open area, which was nearly a mile long, there were many dead animals. At a cursory glance, there were more than a dozen.
The carcasses of these animals were only skeletons, and it was not clear what kind of animal they belonged to, but each one was about the size of a horse, and the size was even close to that of an elephant.
Each one was facing the base of the mountain, but there was nothing at the bottom of the mountain except a bare mountain wall.
Looking at these animal bones, Yi Han was stunned for a moment, and then rushed back to the small camp, ignoring the sharp sword grass constantly scratching his clothes, leaving many wounds on his body.
When he returned to the small camp, he still seemed to feel insecure. Despite the fact that it was already close to evening, he returned to the van. It seems that vans feel safer than camps.
Why are there so many animal bones on this island? How did they die? Why didn't I find it before? Not even the critters were found. How did they get to the island? Are there any large animals on the island today? What if I encounter one? ……
Yi Han, who returned to the car, couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, constantly thinking about various problems.
There is something wrong with this island.
