Chapter 7: Coming Back
Considering that the deeper you go into the jungle, the higher the danger becomes, so the place where Ivan chose to bury the supplies at that time was not very far from the coast.
Before it was dark, Scarlet and Sophie wandered around the area a few times, and there was no danger of killing a large wild boar weighing 14okg, this wild animal is no better than the docile domestic pig domesticated thousands of years ago, they are full of wildness and aggression, a human male is hit by the full force of an adult wild boar, and may even die on the spot with broken internal organs.
In the eyes of those old hunters, large wild boars are no less dangerous than tigers.
The two of them found two branches with a diameter of four or five centimeters thick and placed them vertically, on which were neatly laid a dozen thumb-thick branches, and then broke off some slender and flexible vines like hemp rope and woven and wound them into a strand, and then tied them between the branches and branches, and spent a few minutes to make a stretcher-like support tool, turned the boar carcass over to it, and lifted it one after the other to quickly leave in the direction of the coast.
In the primeval forest, you can still find your way by leaving traces on the trees during the day, but at night you are blind.
In Sophie's words, the guy who dares to walk around the jungle at night is either a fool or an inhuman.
Night is the time when poisonous insects and beasts are active in predation.
Without a light source, humans are no different from blind people at night, but some dangerous creatures do not have this weakness, such as snakes and spiders, scorpions, centipedes, and other small poisonous species that are ubiquitous in the jungle, and they may not be the top predators in the forest, but at night, the danger of these little creatures skyrockets.
Mu Qiutang sat softly under a big tree and was silent, the pain in her left foot gradually numb, and her body became cold and weak because she had not drunk water and eaten for a day, only the bonfire burning not far away brought her a trace of illusory warmth.
This morning, she and Zhou Bingcheng and a few others persuaded all the newcomers to find a relatively spacious place on the outskirts of the jungle as a temporary camp, but unfortunately none of these people were familiar with or seen the knowledge of survival in the wild, and then they discussed and argued, and decided to let women go in groups of four to pick up dry, combustible dead wood in the surrounding area, as well as leaves of plants like palm leaves and banana leaves that can shelter from wind and rain.
Middle-aged men are responsible for finding food.
Without hesitation, Mu Qiutang also joined the foraging group, and she needed to rely on her actions to silence all the gossiping people behind her.
It seems that a qiē is very smooth, but the newcomers still underestimate the difficulty of hunting.
The reason why human beings can become the overlord of the earth is because of their own wisdom and tools, can ordinary humans without any training fight black bears and tigers with their bare hands? Obviously, no, even the old hunters who operated in the deep mountains and old forests in ancient times had to rely on traps, bows and arrows, wooden guns, firewood knives and other tools to hunt, not to mention a group of unarmed modern people who were accustomed to living in peace.
In the process of searching for prey, they accidentally alarmed a wild boar that was eating, and the enraged wild boar immediately sprinted towards them, and a young man who had no time to dodge was pierced through the lower abdomen by the sharp fangs of the wild boar, and the bloody intestines and internal organs flowed all over.
Seeing such a cruel and bloody scene with his own eyes, this group of guys who usually fight with people at most immediately dispersed in fright.
In the process of escaping in a panic, they unfortunately stepped into the snake's den.
The two of them were bitten on the calf by a brightly colored poisonous snake on the spot, and Mu Qiutang, who fell behind the men, saw a snake that was about to pounce on Zhou Bingcheng, gritted his teeth and rushed over to push him, and in a hurry, he sprained and dislocated his left foot.
Fourteen people went out, only nine came back safely, one died, four were lost when they escaped, and two people who were poisoned by snakes fell to the ground immediately after returning to the camp.
It wasn't until late evening that a scarred young man ran back.
When he saw the humans, a large man actually knelt on the ground and wept with joy.
After getting lost, he wandered in the silent jungle all afternoon looking for companions, with the experience of the previous car, he did not dare to make a loud noise, only the sound of birds and insects chirping from time to time responded to him, loneliness, fear, helplessness and other negative feelings slowly eroded his heart, and the gradual collapse of the heart and the emptiness brought by hunger even made the man hallucinate for a while, as if the whole jungle had become a silent monster that chose to devour.
Luckily, he came out before dark.
The sound of clattering branches suddenly sounded.
The newcomers, who were already like frightened birds, looked around nervously, their eyes full of suspicion and fear, if they were a little lucky in the morning, thinking that it was just a prank or a game, but after witnessing their companions die in front of their eyes, they are all as well-behaved and honest as rabbits.
"You've chosen a good location to camp." The crisp and pleasant voice of the teenager came into their ear drums, and their hearts were suddenly relieved, as long as it was not a beast.
The bushes to the southwest shook for a while.
By the light of the fire, it was clear to everyone that it was the young man and woman who had left in the morning, and that they were carrying a fierce boar in their hands, and even though it was long dead, its thick black fur and sharp fangs were showing everyone that it was not easy to provoke.
It's Sophie and the scarlett.
But the image of the two is not very good now, Sophie rolled on the ground a few times to avoid the fireball, and her body was covered with dust, and the hideous injuries on the arms and thighs of the cuttlefish and the bright red blood stains on the sportswear were even more shocking, as if they were telling the thrilling process of the man and woman fighting and killing the wild boar.
The two calmly lifted the boar and walked to the bonfire and laid it down.
Zhou Bingcheng was stunned, and when he came to his senses, he immediately greeted him, and said in surprise: "You two"
Not only him, but all the people who had been attacked by the wild boar in the morning stared at the two of them in disbelief, this wild boar was even bigger than the one they had encountered, and it was actually killed by the young man and woman together, and it was because they had seen the horror of the wild boar's anger that they felt incredible.
Although the rest of the newcomers thought that the cuttlefish and Sophie were very good at hunting big wild boars, they were not as shocked as the people who participated today.
At this time, everyone realized that the young and handsome pair of men and women were a little excessive, the girl was only twenty years old, tall and slender, crisp breasts and buttocks were round and plump, and the beautiful appearance was amazing, the boy was only sixteen or seventeen years old, as if mixed with some foreign blood, and his face was also delicate and beautiful like a doll, but the height was shorter than the girl next to him.
It would be perfect if you were taller, some women secretly regret in their hearts.
"It's just a fluke."
Sophie politely replied to the bald man in front of her, and then asked the newcomers around her, "Which of you has a knife like a dagger on you?" "The saber hidden in his cuff had been stained with human blood, and it was given to him by his sister, and it was not very suitable for cutting pork, and if there was really no way, it would not matter if it was all right.
He also asked casually, after all, with the globalization of transportation and logistics in modern society and the popularization of the Internet, as long as you can afford to pay, even some prohibited items can be purchased online, and most of the dozens of newcomers are young people, and it is not surprising that some people carry knives on their bodies.
It's like a military war. The knife is less than 10 centimeters long when not flicked, and you can even fit it in your clothing pocket without being conspicuous at all.
The newcomers looked at each other, except for those young people who love to play cool and the military houses who like to collect cold weapons, who will be idle and have nothing to do with military daggers on their bodies.
"I have!" On the contrary, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old white-collar woman rummaged through her bag, and took out a black folding knife with a face full of surprise, she noticed the surprised gaze of her companion next to her, and explained: "My boyfriend likes to collect these knives very much, and it is his birthday in a few days, so I specially asked my friend to buy them for more than 3,000 yuan, and I wanted to surprise him." ”
Speaking of the latter, her tone also became low.
Sophie didn't expect that someone was really carrying a knife with him, he walked over and picked up the folding knife and looked at it, it was the commander of the American Emerson series of advanced battles. The knife is deeply loved by wilderness survival enthusiasts and special forces around the world, and the overall blade design is needless to say that it is first-class, and there are small serrations similar to shark teeth in the back half of the blade, which is quite strong to cut.
"Let someone find some chopstick-thick branches, peel the bark on the surface, sharpen the top of the branches, and then cut the wild boar meat into small pieces, you have all eaten barbecue, just learn to do it yourself." Sophie fights. The folding knife was handed to the bald man who came with him, and after thinking about it, he gave a few words of advice, so that all the newcomers around the campfire could hear it clearly.
If you don't have professional wilderness survival tools at hand, you must make the most of the natural resources around you.
Hearing the young man's words, the newcomer's eyes gradually lit up, and then he looked at the big wild boar on the ground, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, changed his previous lifelessness, and got up and moved one after another.
Sophie didn't have any idea of helping anymore, and she wasn't their parents, so she had to feed them by hand. He returned to the scarlet fish and sat down lightly, in fact, these newcomers are not so unbearable, but they are used to the superior, stable and comfortable life of modern society, and it is inevitable that they will not be suitable when they are suddenly thrown on an isolated island.
The redfish looked at him and sneered, "Your actions are more like charity than helping." ”
"Something more important to me than self-esteem is to live, at least that's what my grandfather taught us." Sophie replied that he didn't care what the newcomers thought of him, whether he was jealous or grateful, and that all he did was follow his mother's childhood education.
"It's an irrefutable answer." The fingertips of the cuttlefish brushed the delicate and soft skin of the side face, and the good-looking eyebrows were raised.
In a sense, he is really similar to me.
"Is there anything wrong, sir?"
Zhou Bingcheng stopped in amazement more than twenty steps away, how did that beautiful girl show herself, but he immediately woke up, now is not the time to think nonsense.
He hurriedly walked up to the young man and woman, and asked expectantly, "Little brother, someone has a dislocated foot, can you think of a way?" "The bald man is not ungrateful, today Mu Qiutang sprained his ankle in order to save him, he was more anxious than anyone else, and after finding an honest man to temporarily replace him and peeling the bark for the newcomer, he hurriedly ran over to find Sophie.
Even though Sophie looks like a young high school student at his age, no one dares to underestimate the boy.
After all, no one present dared to say that they had the ability to hunt a big wild boar, and the bloody lesson of the foraging group in the morning made the newcomers gradually recognize their own weakness, and Sophie's experience in surviving in the wild seemed to be much richer than ordinary people, and Zhou Bingcheng guessed that he might also know about healing.
