Chapter 38: Survival in the Wilderness

A gust of sea breeze blew, and the buttocks were cold, and Zhang Le remembered that he was naked. There was a dwarf coconut tree not far from the sea, and Zhang Le decided to pick some leaves to cover his buttocks.

As soon as he raised his footsteps, Zhang Le found another problem, his right leg couldn't bear the strength, and if he tried harder, a heart-piercing pain came. Zhang Le looked down and found that his knees were actually crooked, and the direction of his feet was not forward, but outward by ninety degrees. Zhang Le didn't know if his leg was like this, or if he twisted it when he climbed out just now.

Even if he looks ugly, he has become a lame, Zhang Le wanted to cry a little, but found that he couldn't seem to cry, it is estimated that the tear glands have not grown, because the eyes don't even have eyelids, this is really a sad story. In fact, what Zhang Le thought about the most was that he had become this ghost, and he hadn't died yet, which was the most amazing place.

If there were other people around, Zhang Le would definitely feel that life was worse than death, and he would die in shame, but fortunately, there was no one within sight, except for sea fish, there was not a single living thing on land. Anyway, Zhang Le decided to straighten his legs first, and then he couldn't go anywhere with a lame leg. If it was before, Zhang Le would definitely not have this confidence, but now it is different, because Zhang Le can not only clearly see his bones, tendons, blood vessels and muscles and other human tissues, which is much more convenient than an orthopedic surgeon through the skin and bones, and at the same time, there is also an intact left leg as a reference, there is no more convenient bone correction than this. Zhang Le didn't know whether to be happy or sad!

It took fifteen minutes, and there was a wrong pick in the middle, and Zhang Le was finally able to walk.

Just when Zhang Le was full of joy, an arm-long sandworm burst out of the beach, this sandworm had a huge hideous mouthpart, and a mouth bit Zhang Le's only left hand with intact skin.

Anger is Zhang Le's only emotion now. Zhang Le searched in his memory, he didn't understand why the sandworm was so big, there was no answer, but he felt very familiar, as if he had seen it before, and he didn't even have a strange feeling, and he took it for granted that the sandworm was so big. But this is not the point, the point is that Zhang Le only has a pair of hands with good skin, and other places are miserable, but it is so hateful, the sandworm does not bite anywhere else, but bites his "good hand", which really makes Zhang Le angry.

In a hurry, Zhang Le's right hand grabbed the body of the sandworm. Then, Zhang Le saw a white light emanating from his right hand and shooting into the sandworm's body, the sandworm made a piercing and strange howl of pain, and then white smoke rose up, and after a few seconds, the smoke dissipated, and the sandworm turned into a black carbon rod. Zhang Le pulled the bitten left hand out of the sandworm's mouth, and the sandworm's head turned into fragmented carbon particles and floated down with the wind, exactly like the situation of the giant whale.

An itchy sensation came from his feet, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhang Le's big toe grew a layer of skin, and the skin was white and tender, like the skin of a newborn. Zhang Le had time to look down at his left hand, he felt a lot of pain just now, but his hand actually had no wounds, only a shallow bite mark.

Zhang Le is becoming more and more interested in his current body, although it looks miserable, but the hardware configuration is very good, and he can fight and resist. Zhang Le is now a little looking forward to another sandworm attacking him.

Sure enough, there are mutant sandworms on this stretch of beach. Zhang Lecai walked more than ten meters when another giant sandworm jumped up from the sand. Zhang Le was afraid that the sandworm would give priority to attacking some of his protruding parts, so this time he took the initiative to reach out his left hand to the sandworm's mouthparts. Zhang Le gasped, and sure enough, it was still very painful. Stretching out his right hand, Zhang Le once again grabbed the sandworm's body.

"Hey", "Ha", "Hmm", "Change", "Chirp", Zhang Le changed a few words in a row, but there was no use, and the expected white light just did not appear. In the end, Zhang Le, who couldn't stand the pain, could only smash the ground with his left hand that was bitten by the sandworm, and had a game with the sandworm to hurt each other to see who could last longer.

Zhang Le is very satisfied with his current body, although it is not durable but it is really durable, and the sandworm was smashed into meat sauce in the process of fighting Zhang Le's fist. But at the same time, Zhang Le also gave up the idea of continuing to look for sandworms, and the white light on his body didn't seem to be there, but more like a strange skill with a cooldown time. Zhang Leke didn't want to keep hurting each other with a bug.

It was afternoon, and Zhang Le couldn't see any buildings or people around. Although Zhang Le has never experienced survival in the wild, he has also received training in survival skills in the wild before going to the Arctic research station. Among other things, at least a sturdy and safe shelter is the number one thing to do to spend a night in the wilderness.

Zhang Le first used a rope made of old coconut bark to string a few coconut leaves as his fig leaf. It's hot, so that's enough. The problem of clothes is solved, and the next step is to solve the problem of accommodation. Zhang Le came to a raised dirt slope and looked around. To the west is the sea, to the north is the coast, and to the west is the wasteland. In the distance are sparse trees and grasses, with tall and low rust-colored hills. The coast is full of sand and low rocks, and there is certainly no hiding place, and it seems that you can only go into the depths of the wasteland.

In addition to finding a place to live, food and water are certainly equally important. Fortunately, there were more than a dozen coconuts on the dwarf coconut tree, and Zhang Le plucked them all, strung them together with a coconut bark rope, and hung them diagonally on his shoulders. After finishing this, more than an hour passed, and it was only about three hours before dark.

Although there was still a coconut tree one hundred and ten meters away, Zhang Le didn't dare to waste any more time, so he found a stick that had been washed to the shore by the seawater and began to march into the depths of the wasteland.

Pain, in addition to pain, is still pain. Only about half of Zhang Le's soles have complete skin, all of which are in the forefoot position, if you just stand still, it's fine, but as long as you walk, it's the pain of drilling, so Zhang Le has always walked on tiptoe. However, not all roads can be walked on tiptoe, such as downhill roads, when the subcutaneous tissue and the sand and fine stones are in close contact with the transient, that sourness makes Zhang Le not want to experience a second time.

would rather take more detours, Zhang Le is not willing to choose to go downhill.

Circling around, Zhang Le has been looking for a relatively high gravel slope, because only in this kind of place can there be a half-protruding cave, like this kind of wasteland, a half-cave should be regarded as a better hiding place, which is also Zhang Le's goal.

The hard work paid off, and about an hour before dark, Zhang Le actually found an unexpected perfect hideout. This is a rocky low mountain, more than 50 meters high, which is very rare in the sandy wasteland. There is a natural cave here, more than two meters deep and three meters wide, you can enter it by bending down a little, and more importantly, the cave is half a meter high from the ground, which can effectively prevent most snakes, insects and ants from crawling in.
