Chapter 9: Survival on a Desert Island (3)

When Zhang Heng dragged the bare-ass guy onto the beach, the two of them were basically exhausted and collapsed.

Zhang Heng didn't even know how he swam back the last part of the road, and after approaching the target man, he knew that the other party's lumbar spine was injured, and his thigh was also cut by the reef, so he couldn't move at all, no wonder he could only go with the flow like a mineral water bottle.

It's not an easy thing to drag him back.

Halfway through, Zhang Heng couldn't help but give up a few times, but he didn't expect this guy's mentality to be very good, and he kept cheering him up.

Zhang Heng gritted his teeth in the end and fished this guy ashore.

The two of them lay on the beach for a while, Zhang Heng really didn't want to move his little fingers, if it was possible, he would like to close his eyes and fall asleep now.

However, I didn't expect that only two minutes later, the bare-bottomed guy spoke again, "Hey buddy, this can't be done, we're not far from the equator now, and the temperature at noon can reach thirty-five or six degrees, and if we continue like this, we will soon be dehydrated." ”

“…………”

"I'll get you to a cool place right now." Zhang Heng took two breaths, gathered a little strength, dragged the man under a rock wall, and took off the T-shirt on his body to help him simply bandage the wound on his thigh.

After that, Zhang Heng really had no strength, and he couldn't even throw the stones, but fortunately he picked up a few coconuts that fell on the ground a little farther away.

The bare-fart guy saw that Zhang Heng was about to smash the coconut, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

"Huh?"

"I don't want to act like an inch, but if you can, please give me green coconuts, like this coconut that fell to the ground is already old, and the milky white juice in it is likely to cause diarrhea after drinking, which is very fatal on such a desert island where there is nothing."

"You seem to have a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild?"

"I've been in the military for a while, and I've spent more than two years trekking through the Amazon rainforest, so yes, I guess I can be an expert when it comes to surviving in the wild."

Zhang Heng knew that he had made the right bet, and sure enough, in an excellent game, there would be no level that completely killed the player, and he knew that the man in front of him was his hope for survival on this desert island.

But this also can't help but make him wonder where those two guys are after that.

After all, in terms of difficulty, rescuing the bare-ass man is the easiest thing to do, and according to the game designers' consistent thinking, the more you give, the more rewards you will get.

However, Zhang Heng did not regret it, he knew his own physical condition best.

It was already very reluctant to save the bare-ass man, and even if he could swim there the two farther away, he wouldn't have the strength to bring them back.

What's more, the man in front of him, who has a declining hairline, at least looks very easy to get along with.

As an initiation teacher, sometimes attitude is far more important than ability.

Sure enough, he then heard the other party say, "Friend, can you help me find some green coconuts, my throat is too dry, and I will teach you how to find water later." ”

"No problem." Zhang Heng took advantage of this kung fu to lie down for a while, and regained some physical strength, which was just enough to meet the needs of the other party.

This time he smashed down fourteen coconuts in one go, gave five to the bare-ass man, ate three more for himself, and used the remaining six as storage food.

The bare-ass man drank coconut water, his spirit looked much better, and he stretched out a hand, "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Ed Wilson, British, former captain of the British Army in Afghanistan, just call me Ed, thank you very much for saving my life." ”

"Zhang Heng, Chinese, is still in his sophomore year, so you're welcome." Zhang Heng had a friendly handshake with a former British Army captain stationed in Afghanistan.

After that, the latter's tone suddenly deepened, "It's a pity that those two guys, there is no other land around here except for this small island, and if they can't come up, I'm afraid they will be more than lucky." ”

However, the man named Ed obviously has a good ability to self-regulate, but he was sad for a moment and then regained his optimism, "Okay, according to the agreement, I should fulfill the agreement and teach you how to find water." ”

"When I was at sea, I probably made a visual inspection, this island should be about 12,000 hectares in size, I found some animal tracks near the bush, which means that there may be a stream on the island, and you can find it by following the animal tracks, but at the same time the bad news is that it also means that there are likely predators on this island, and now it will soon be night, and it is not a wise move to explore the island without torches, you may get lost, and you will be attacked by wild beasts......"

Ed patiently taught survival skills in the wild, and in order to make it easier for Zhang Heng to hear each word clearly, he deliberately slowed down his speech.

Even so, Zhang Heng would still interrupt him from time to time and ask about the meaning of a certain word, although Zhang Heng had parents who worked abroad, but the two immortals stayed at home for a short time, and they did not deliberately cultivate Zhang Heng's foreign language skills.

Therefore, the latter's English is ordinary level 6, and there is no big problem in daily communication, but once it comes to professional vocabulary, Ed must explain it again.

The two of them listened to each other, and after twenty minutes, Zhang Heng finally figured out how to find fresh water in the wild, and he followed Ed's suggestion to temporarily use coconut water as the main source of water, and at the same time searched the nearby stone walls, not only successfully found a few small puddles, but also found a natural cave.

It is about ten square meters, it is full of bird droppings, the smell is not very good, but the terrain is relatively high, there is no need to worry about being swept away by the tide when you sleep at night, and more importantly, it is in a leeward position, the island is still very cold in the morning and evening, especially when the wind blows on the body, it will take away more heat.

As the sun set, Zhang Heng took advantage of the last bit of light in the sky to pick a few more coconuts and had dinner with the previous one, and then the two in the cave said goodnight to each other.

As a city man, Zhang Heng slept in the wild for the first time, although he knew that his mind and body had reached the limit and needed to rest urgently, but he still couldn't close his eyes for a long time, whether it was the smell of guano in the air, or the hard rock behind him, the unknown insects crawling over his arms in the dark...... Everything was tormenting his nerves and making him uneasy.

Ed suddenly spoke, "Zhang, did I tell you what is the most important thing to survive in the wild?" ”

"What?" Zhang Heng didn't hear the movement behind him for a long time, and thought that the man had fallen asleep.

"Survival skills are very important, there's no doubt about it, but it's more important to keep yourself optimistic, and when you're tormented, think about those happy things and tell yourself that maybe tomorrow a ship will pass by here and bring me back to civilization." Ed's mindset is as positive as ever.

Zhang Heng sighed secretly, if this was really a game, it would be impossible for a ship to pass by in 40 days, but Ed's words still made his mood a lot better, and the most important thing was to make him realize that he was not alone at the moment, Zhang Heng was not a person who liked to complain about others.

It's just 40 days on a desert island, and he believes that he can do it with a teacher, Zhang Heng tried to clear those negative emotions out of his mind, and soon fatigue hit, and he closed his eyes.
