Chapter 108: Survival in the Jungle
They carried Brienne to the edge of the small lake that Zhang Jingyi had found. In a slightly sparsely wooded area by the lake, they used the sapper shovels and military daggers they carried with them to clear a three-meter square, cut some branches, and built a shack.
"Get some more hay!" Zhang Jingyi instructed the two guards: "Don't cut too much around, it's good to hide." ”
When everything was stopped, they carried Brienne into the shack. Zhang Jingyi ran around and looked in the direction of the shack, it was difficult to find the location of the shack, she was relieved.
She walked to the edge of the small lake and looked at the water. There are fish in the lake, but they don't have nets or hooks, so how can they catch them?
She didn't retreat, she had to go back to the shack, and she saw Brienne awake. The two guards were fiddling with their communicators.
"How does it feel?" She touched Brienne's forehead and noticed that Brienne's fever had subsided a lot: "It's not bad...... Don't mess with that! ”
In the army, every serviceman has a communicator, but only the communicator of senior officers is long-range, and the communicator of soldiers is only ten kilometers away, and it is useless to go any further.
"Turn off the communicator, don't waste energy, maybe it will come in handy then!" She ordered the two guards: "Now help me think about how I can catch the fish." ”
In fact, to put it bluntly, the two little girls grew up in Central City, what tricks can they come up with? It's just annoying, just casually talking. Britney was injured, had lost too much blood, and needed to take a protein boost, otherwise it would be difficult to recover.
"Is it okay to use a laser gun?" Said one of the guards.
"I'm afraid it's useless," Brienne said, "and the laser decays very quickly in the water." ”
"Looks like we're going to have to go back to the Stone Age and be primitive again!" Zhang Jingyi sighed.
In order to survive, you have to be a Stone Age person, so do it. However, the Stone Age people were not so easy to do. When they came to the lake, they found that they could not catch any fish, so they could only look at the fish and sigh.
"It seems that there is no hope!" The three of them were busy for most of the day, and the fish were still in the lake, swimming happily. These fish have not been hunted by humans or wild animals for many generations, and they have become not afraid of people at all, and they swim right in front of their eyes. But you tried to catch it, and it cleverly dodged it.
Zhang Jingyi pondered for a long time, and finally thought of something useful. She remembers that there was an illustration in the history books on the Internet of a primitive man using primitive hunting tools and hunting wild beasts. The tool was a tree trunk with a stone axe tied to it.
She found a relatively straight branch and cut a piece about a meter and a half in length. Then she cut a slit with a military dagger at the end of the branch, clamped the handle of the dagger into the crack, and tied it with a thin rattan to make a primitive tool like a throwing spear. Moreover, her tools are definitely superior to the primitives, because instead of stone on her head, she has a military dagger made of stainless steel!
She hurried to the lake, and when she saw that the two girls were still there trying in vain to catch fish with their hands, she drove them away: "Look at me! ”
The two guards retreated. The fish in the lake could not see the reflection of people, but boldly swam to the shore and gnawed on the aquatic plants on the side. Zhang Jingyi held her breath, aimed at one of the larger fish, and threw the throwing gun in her hand hard. There was a churn in the water, and the other fish swam away in a panic, but the fish that was hit by the gun was pierced by the military dagger on the tip of the spear and fell to the water's edge with the spear.
The two guards cheered, and the three of them threw themselves together at the water's edge.
"Commander, you're amazing!" One of the guards took the fish from the throwing gun and danced happily: "Now I don't have to worry about running out of food!" ”
"Hurry up and make a fire, and bake it for Britney!"
The guard left, and Zhang Jingyi and another guard continued to fish. They took turns to operate, and by the end of the day they had caught five fish, and they were very happy.
When they returned to the shack, Brienne had finished eating the fish. They cooked all five fish, and the three of them ate two of them, leaving three left: "I'll save it for tomorrow." ”
Without oil or salt, this fish is actually not delicious. As the saying goes: Hungry chaff is like honey, and the three of them eat with relish. When they had finished eating, their eyes were still fixed on the three fish that they had intended to eat for tomorrow.
"Forget it, eat it all," Zhang Jingyi saw the thoughts of the two guards, and said, "I don't know if it will be bad tomorrow, so let's eat it!" Tomorrow and tomorrow...... Britney, you eat some more, too. ”
Zhang Jingyi and her three guards spent ten days by an unknown lake in the dense jungle. In these ten days, they are like primitive human beings, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, comfortable and calm. Zhang Jingyi is almost about to have an illusion, as if life is supposed to be like that: "It seems that the life of primitive people is not annoying!" ”
Although there was not much medicine, there was plenty of food, and Britney's injuries were almost healed. She was still walking with a slight limp, but she was fine: "We should think about getting out of here and going home, right?" ”
"A few more days! When you're completely well, we'll try to go home. ”
They seem to have become a bit addicted to Stone Age people, and want to stay a few more days by this secluded lake. The water of the small lake looks pure and inviting. What made them even happier was that the radiation detector they were carrying showed that the radiation intensity here was actually within a safe range, and they did not need to wear protective clothing!
"This water is so clean, can I take a shower?" One of the guards looked at the lake and was eager to try: "There should be nothing else in the lake except fish, right?" ”
"Probably not, if there were crocodiles or something, we should have seen them these days."
"One by one!" I haven't taken a shower or changed my clothes for more than ten days, and it's really dirty, but Zhang Jingyi still maintains a vigilance. When she saw the guards begin to undress, she said, "Three people take turns, and only one person can go into the water at a time." ”
The first guard stripped naked and jumped naked into the water. Her white complexion, against the backdrop of the blue lake, swam around like a mermaid, and even Zhang Jingyi was stunned: "It's so beautiful!" ”
The guards finally finished washing and went ashore to get dressed. Another guard asked Zhang Jingyi to wash first, but Zhang Jingyi was not polite. When she finished washing, another guard went into the water.
Zhang Jingyi dried her body and was getting dressed, when she heard a voice, it was the communicator on the clothes taken off by the female guard who went into the water. At the same time, the communicator of the other bit rang at the same time.
She hurriedly took the communicator from the guard's clothes, and Britney's voice came from inside: "Come back, there seems to be someone on the other side of the lake!" ”
She looked up at the other side of the lake, her right hand already instinctively grasping the hilt of the gun at her waist. But before she could draw her gun, sparks erupted from the trees on the other side of the lake, and then she heard gunshots, and a column of water splashed in the lake.
"Come back soon!" She screamed to the female guard in the lake, and at the same time lay down on the spot, her gun already firing at the flash of fire on the opposite bank. Almost by the same time, another guard had opened fire on the other side of the lake.
However, a step too late, the female guard in the lake swam desperately towards the lake, and her white body appeared red, like two red ribbons in the lake behind her...... Zhang Jingyi didn't care about the dense rain of bullets from the opposite shore, threw herself into the lake, pulled the female guard who was shot to the shore and dragged her ashore. However, the female guard's body had already softened, and her eyes as she looked at Zhang Jingyi had begun to be distracted......
