Chapter 15: Survival on a Desert Island (9)
Zhang Heng would count the days at the beginning to see how many days were left before his return.
But then he realized that doing so didn't do anything other than frustration, and the more you stared at it, the more you felt that it was going slowly.
So Zhang Heng simply stopped recording the date, and when the artichoke he planted had been harvested for the fourth round, he finally received a long-lost prompt sound in his ears.
[Archery skill has been upgraded from lv1 to lv2, you can go to the character panel to view the relevant information......]
Zhang Heng walked back to his tiled house, turned out the starfish buried in the corner, and realized that he had been on this desert island for 385 days, more than a year.
Although it can't be compared with the famous Robinson, it is incredible enough for a city person.
In fact, Zhang Heng has now fully adapted to life in the wild.
In order to make his life more comfortable, his tiled house and vegetable garden have undergone two rounds of expansion, the former has changed from a single room to a three-bedroom living room, and has also installed floor heating, and the latter has now exceeded his consumption, Zhang Heng cut the excess artichoke into pieces with a stone knife and dried it in the sun to get 100% natural baked potato chips.
In addition to this, he found onions in the woods and transplanted them into his little vegetable garden, where he spent time building a fish pond, bath, and breeding garden next to the hut.
The fish pond was filled with fish and crabs that he couldn't eat, and the "pheasant" with his head stuck in the fence was honorably the first residents of the farm.
Zhang Heng has ejaculated it for a month and a half, and has already ejaculated it out of the shadow in his heart, from the big chicken bully who was "Lao Tzu is not afraid of anyone who has the ability, you will give me a pleasure" when he first came, to the empty nester with dull eyes and eyes.
Zhang Heng also felt a little uncomfortable, and restrained the urge to eat it and instead raised the latter in captivity, thinking that maybe he could harvest some eggs to eat, but this dream was also shattered after discovering that this thing seemed to be male one day.
Forget it, just keep it as a pet, Zhang Heng named "Pheasant" Mickey Mouse.
Compared with fish, birds, and crabs, at least this thing has a higher IQ, and it can interact a little after a long time.
Zhang Heng now has a hit rate of eighty percent within ten meters of the dynamic target, and fifty percent of thirty meters, and after receiving the notification that his archery skill has been upgraded to lv2, he knows that it is finally time to leave.
He spent ten days preparing portable food for the two of them, a month's ration for Mickey Mouse, and then crafted two spears out of the toughest wood for melee weapons.
On the four hundred and first day, when the explorer man floated from the sea again, Zhang Heng rowed a self-made raft to the other party's side.
"Thank you, friend! Are you an aboriginal of this island? The boat I was on was sunk by a strong typhoon, and I was the only one who swam here, but I was also exhausted, and if it wasn't for your help, I am afraid that this time I would have been more than lucky. ”
“…………”
Zhang Heng was speechless, where do I look like an aborigine?
He looked down at his reflection in the water, well, this was a standard native, he had been on this desert island for so long, except for his watch, that most of the original things were broken.
But no matter what, it's always nice to see the same kind, Zhang Heng hasn't spoken to anyone for almost a year, and he was also very excited after seeing the explorer man, and handed the wooden bucket containing fresh water to the other party.
"My name is Zhang Heng, I am not a native here, and I was shipwrecked like you, but that was a year ago."
After drinking the water, the explorer's complexion recovered a lot, and he was originally worried about whether this native saved him to prepare dinner, but now he knew that the other party was a civilized person, and his face also showed joy.
"My name is Bell Butteret, I served in the 21st British Airborne Mission, climbed Mount Everest, and chose to become a host, explorer and author...... You say you've been living on the island for a year? It's a really remarkable thing. ”
"Strictly speaking, I had two companions, but neither of them survived." Zhang Heng paused, and then tried to ask, "Do you remember the two people who fell into the sea with you?" ”
"What people who fell into the sea with me?" Bell didn't look like he was lying, "I did want to save people when the accident happened, but then a big wave came and knocked me unconscious, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the island. ”
“…………”
Zhang Heng was not surprised by this answer, but he was a little sorry, since Bell had no impression of Ed and the shorts boy, he must not remember what happened to him floating in the sea for a year.
He was curious how the game would get the bug back, but he just pretended to be stupid.
Paddled the raft to the shore, Zhang Heng took Bell to his hut.
"Did you build these with your own hands?" Seeing the 180-degree sea view tiled houses, the vibrant vegetable garden, and the pond full of fish and shrimp, Bell couldn't help but exclaim, "I don't think I have anything to teach you anymore, because even I can't do better than you." ”
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Mickey Mouse, who was sighing for a long time in the breeding garden and lamenting how difficult life was, but he was stunned.
Zhang Heng thought that Mickey Mouse's appearance had successfully cried ugly again, and he was about to introduce the two of them, when he heard Bell suddenly excited, "Oh my God, what did I see?!" Dodo, there are still living dodos in this world!! ”
This time it was Zhang Heng's turn to be stunned.
Of course, he is no stranger to the name of the dodo, which is recorded to have stayed well on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean until it met a group of European colonists, and as a result, it was destroyed in just 200 years, and now there is not even a complete specimen.
Zhang Heng really didn't expect that he would eat the national bird of Mauritius as soon as he ate it casually.
But since it's in the game, it's not too surprising what happened.
Seeing Zhang Heng's calm expression, Bell on the side was a little surprised, so he kindly popularized science for someone, "The dodo was completely extinct in 1681, and there have been different opinions about the cause of extinction, some people say that the European colonizers ate them all, some people say that the animals carried by the colonists caused biological invasions, and some say that it is because of the change of the ecological environment...... Either way, they've all disappeared from the earth, and in 16 years a dodo skeleton alone fetched a whopping £500,000, and your discovery on this island will shock the whole world. ”
It's a pity that this is just a game world, and the script outside the island is simply blank...... Zhang Heng added in his heart. However, he couldn't just explain it to Bell, so he thought about it and put it in a more acceptable way, "Bell, even if it's really a dodo, we have to find a way to get out of this island before we can show them to the world." ”
"You're right." Bell agreed, "The presence of a dodo on the island is not good news for us, it means that no one has ever been on this place, and this place is probably not on any one shipping route. ”
"I've been on the island for more than a year, and I'm pretty much familiar with the periphery, so I'd like to go to the center of the island next...... Well, maybe we'll find a way back. ”
"Then let me go with you, I think I can still help with the expedition." Bell was very cheerful, "When are we leaving, tomorrow?" ”
"No, no...... It's better to wait two more days so that your body can fully recover, by the way...... Chat with me, too. Zhang Heng's longing gaze looked at the explorer.
“???”
