【Chapter 180】Forest fires
It stands to reason that Wang Xiaotie shouldn't have gone to that place, no matter who reached the border and triggered the flames, the result would be the same. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The flames in the sky will turn into a demon, devouring all the tributes that come close.
In the movie, in the middle of the wide arena, there is a long stream that divides the entire arena in two. At first, Wang Xiaotie also headed for the middle of the forest, but after walking for so long, he still didn't see any water source.
If that stream really existed, Wang Xiaotie's route would definitely pass through a certain part of the stream. The truth is that he and Crove are almost at the border, except for the trees and the grass.
However, once someone has reached the border, the organizers of the tournament will issue a warning and even use the raging fire to drive someone else to another place.
As for this other place, it is the water source that Wang Xiaotie urgently needs to find now.
It's a killing game, not a real survival game. It's impossible for tournament administrators to let everyone wander around the forest in a leisurely manner.
Therefore, it is inevitable that everyone will be brought together in one place and there will be a fierce fight, which will also excite the crowd in the capital who are watching the game.
The horns of Zeus had no food or water except for weapons and equipment. During the 2-week Hunger Games, water became the most important survival item.
If there is only a small patch of water in one part of the forest, then it is the best battleground. Either take up arms and fight for water, or die somewhere in the forest.
Wang Xiaotie needed to get closer to know where the flames were burning, and in what direction the people who activated the flame mechanism were being driven in.
Flames and smoke were already raging all around, and burning branches crackled from the trees, smashing into the ground with the flames, igniting all the hay on the ground. Around Wang Xiaotie, rabbits, deer, and a group of wild dogs will appear in the forest from time to time, and their escape directions are roughly the same, which makes Wang Xiaotie happy, it seems that that there is the right direction.
The flames didn't continue to spread, perhaps because the tournament managers had achieved the effect they wanted, so they stopped the flames.
The light of the fire in the sky illuminated the surroundings as bright as day, and the endless smoke rose under the illumination of the flames, gradually disappearing into the night sky.
"Let's go!" Since Wang Xiaotie already knew the direction, there was no need to get closer. In case his actions anger the tournament managers again, if he rewards himself with two fireballs, then the sound of the cannon representing his death will sound, Wang Xiaotie knows very well that he is not as vigorous as the heroine in the movie, if the fireball of that speed hits, Wang Xiaotie is estimated to have time to close his eyes, and then "Bang!" "TORN APART, GAME-OVER!
After getting the plastic sheeting for collecting water again, Wang Xiaotie asked Croof to hunt the two rabbits with a throwing knife. The biggest good news tonight is that you can barbecue unscrupulously, because the flames not far away are Wang Xiaotie's best cover.
"Drink some! Although this thing is astringent, it can still add some moisture and salt! ”
Wang Xiaotie handed one of the rabbits to Crove again, and motioned for her to suck blood from the rabbit's carcass like himself.
Although this method can replenish some of the water lost by the human body, it is also extremely dangerous, after all, blood is the carrier of storage and transportation, so it carries various unknown bacteria and viruses, which is easy to cause unnecessary diseases. However, when it comes to the extreme shortage of water, I can't care about it anymore.
After eating some roasted rabbit meat, Wang Xiaotie put it in his backpack.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xiaotie and Crof ate the freshwater they had collected, and then ate some rabbit meat, and felt much better. The fire in the distance had been extinguished, but the smoke was still coming out from time to time.
Last night, Wang Xiaotie slept very comfortably. Because of the flames, the chill of the night was dispelled a lot, so I felt very refreshed when I woke up today.
"The direction in which those little animals fled last night was over there, so we went in the same direction. But before we can do that, we have to climb a big tree and find a way to find the right direction, or we risk getting lost! ”
Tall trees are not hard to find, they are all around, the key is who will climb them? Wang Xiaotie looked at Crove, but Crof took a few steps back, "Don't look at me, I can't climb trees!" ”
It's unimaginable that with Crof's strong skills, she can't climb a tree? Wang Xiaotie didn't believe it at the first time. But if you don't believe it, what can you do, looking at Crof's face full of rejection, Wang Xiaotie can only bite the bullet by himself.
Climbing trees is not as difficult as you think, but there are many people who can't get the hang of it, and they get exhausted if they can't climb very high. The trick to climbing is to rely on the strength of your feet or legs, so that your hands only play an auxiliary role. If you use too much arm strength to climb up, it will not take long for your arm to become weak and weak, resulting in a lack of success.
First of all, remember: three of the limbs are to be firmly attached to the tree and are to be distributed in three different locations to form three fulcrums.
Then you have to get as close to the tree as possible. Also keep it as upright as possible, with your shoulders and legs in a line. Clinging the trunk as close as possible can improve stability. If the trunk is not particularly thick, hold the trunk with your thighs and arms to make it easier for you to grasp the branches and slow down the fall in case of an accident.
The most important thing is that you have to tug any branch before it bears your weight. Be sure to verify that the branch is strong enough before using it to continue climbing.
Of course, all this is premised on you having enough physical strength to do the job. If it was placed in the past, Wang Xiaotie would never take the initiative to climb trees, for an otaku, long-term mental work will only exercise his brain more and more developed, as for the body began to slowly degenerate, maybe it won't be long before Wang Xiaotie will forget how to walk.
However, after several dungeon experiences, Wang Xiaotie thought that there was no problem with climbing a tree.
Standing on a tree branch more than 4 meters above the ground, Wang Xiaotie began to look at his location.
If the north, south, east, and west of this world are the same as Earth, then he and Crof seem to be a little too far northwest now. The direction in which the animal fled last night should have been in the center of the jungle, that is, to the southeast.
Maybe the tournament administrators just set the only source of water in the middle of the forest, so that all the tributes can find that place, and then put on a fierce scramble. Wang Xiaotie didn't expect it at first, and most of the reasons were misled by the map in the movie.
