Chapter 12: The Self-Made Trap
The long-handled weapon has been made, but this is not for fighting zombies, this is an important part of Xu Lin's next plan.
At present, Xu Lin wants to cultivate the Ten Thousand Realms Creator, and what he lacks most is energy.
Although Xu Lin was really reluctant to take this risk, he had to face this fact. To get energy, you have to kill zombies and get energy crystal nuclei.
And although the physical fitness of these zombies is outstanding, it is obviously unrealistic to hunt them head-on, but fortunately, these zombies have seriously degraded their intelligence in the process of mutation, which makes it possible to capture zombies.
Although he has never been a soldier, Xu Lin knows the simplest traps, such as digging a pit and camouflage on it, but this can't trap zombies, they will easily crawl out of it, and those that need powerful props, such as traps such as animal traps, Xu Lin does not have these props. Moreover, even if he had props, it would be difficult to work, and the zombie would probably forcibly break free.
Xu Lin had seen several search teams subduing zombies with long sticks equipped with lassoes before, but it was through the joint efforts of several people and the use of various tools to subdue a zombie, and the process was very dangerous.
"The knowledge required to kill zombies with traps is too specialized, but fortunately, my purpose is just to trap them and then kill them with a double-pointed gun." Xu Lin is also aware of this.
"I've seen a homemade mousetrap before, and it seems to be relatively simple." Xu Lin remembered the video he had seen on TV before.
The design of this mousetrap is not complicated, the main body is two wooden stakes, the middle and lower part of which is fixed a plank, and the plank is connected to the two stakes.
Put the rope loop in the middle of the two wooden piles, put another piece of wood in the center of the rope loop, and then keep rotating the wood in the middle of the rope, let the wooden stick carry the two strands of rope of the rope loop and rotate and tighten until you can feel that the rebound force of the rope is large enough, at this time, take out a small wooden block prepared in advance, dig out a narrow and long depression card groove in the middle of the wooden block in advance, and the lower end of the wooden stick in the rope circle is stuck at one end of the card slot, and the other end of the card groove is stuck at the bottom of the wooden board connecting the wooden stake at the same time.
In this way, although the wooden block with the clamp groove is not dragged, it can be stuck on the wooden board without falling due to the strong pull force of the wooden stick in the center of the rope loop, and at the same time the wooden stick in the center of the rope circle is stuck to prevent it from rotating in advance and hitting forward.
Although the balance of forces at this time is very fragile, traps mostly work on this principle, and the balance of forces is fragile, so it is more likely to trigger traps.
At this time, as long as there is a downward force acting on the wooden block in the card groove, and the wooden block falls off downward, then the wooden stick in the center of the rope circle will lose its restraint and quickly flip forward and hit the forward position.
This trap was originally used to hunt rats, and now that Xu Lin wants to use it to deal with zombies, the power of the trap will be greatly enhanced.
To increase the power of the trap, first of all, the trap must be "bigger", especially the wooden stick used to launch the final blow, Xu Lin chose a wooden stick with a diameter of six or seven centimeters and a length of half a meter, and in the front of the wooden stick, two kitchen bone chopping knives were installed in parallel, which looked a bit like a hammer with two hoes.
Mountain bike tires are already very tough, and you can imagine how much power they can accumulate by constantly spinning.
In front of the trap, Xu Lin found another door panel, covering it with mud and turf to camouflage, the soft ground may help the zombies unload some of their strength, and after putting on the wooden plank, this situation can be avoided.
The first time he made a trap, Xu Lin seemed a little clumsy, but fortunately, it was not a very professional trap, and after an hour and a half, the first trap was finally made.
To be on the safe side, Xu Lin arranged two identical traps on both sides of the trap, the three traps formed a "concave" shape, sharing a trigger device, once the bait was touched, the three traps would be triggered at the same time.
The last two traps Xu Lin only took two hours, and he was much more proficient than before.
All the work was done, Xu Lin looked at his masterpiece and nodded, "I tried the power before, the power is very strong, I hope to catch one." ”
Looking at the curious Xiao Hei on the side, Xu Lin didn't forget to advise, "Xiao Hei, don't go near this place, you know?" ”
Xu Lin didn't know if the large "rat trap" he made was effective for zombies, and now, he could only look forward to the actual combat situation at night.
This was the first time that Xu Lin was so looking forward to the arrival of night.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky slowly darkened, and at this time, Xu Lin was in the window on the second floor, secretly looking out through the crack of a curtain.
"Damn, it's crazy that I want zombies to show up soon." Xu Lin looked nervously at the location of the trap he had arranged, whether he could catch the zombies was very important to him.
"Ahhh Finally, a zombie appeared.
On the trigger mechanism of the trap, Xu Lin put a piece of rotten flesh, and the smell of rotten flesh quickly attracted several zombies to walk towards the trap.
"What's going on, why are there so many of them at once, at least three or four!" Xu Lin immediately felt that this scene was very different from what he expected.
The four zombies found the carrion and rushed towards the trap.
As soon as the claws of a zombie touched the carrion, the wooden block of the card slot fell off, and the two wooden sticks were knocked down at a rapid speed.
However, the trap on the right side did not start for some reason, and Xu Lin saw all this very clearly.
Two wooden sticks with bone cleavers at the top smashed violently, and the two zombies were smashed on the door panel placed by Xu Lin in advance, and the bone cleaver at the top of the wooden stick fell directly into the body from the back of the zombie.
"It's finished?" Xu Lin's eyes widened, staring at the scene in front of him.
Seeing the two zombies struggling on the ground, I was very excited.
The most important thing in this world is probably zombies, and if the trap is effective, then there will be a source of his energy.
Xu Lin looked at it for a while, and found that the zombies still hadn't broken free, Xu Lin's heart was even more steady, "Xiao Hei, let's rest, let's go harvest the prey tomorrow morning." ”
The night passed, this night Xu Lin fell asleep full of hope, and the next morning, Xu Lin got up, however, when he opened the curtains, he found that the prey on the trap was gone.
After making sure that there was no threat around, Xu Lin rushed out.
Both traps had been destroyed by zombies, one of the sticks had been pulled out of the outer tire of the bicycle and was still more than a dozen meters away, and one was even missing.
"Damn, these guys are too perverted, they can all run away like this!" Xu Lin squatted down and checked the trap by himself, frowning tightly, the duck in his beak flew, this feeling was not very good.
The trap worked, Xu Lin saw this with his own eyes, but the body of the zombie was too perverted, and after suffering a heavy blow, he could escape, Xu Lin had indeed thought of this before, so he designed the trap to be so violent, but even so, he still let them break free.
"No, I have to catch the zombies as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to start cultivating the Ten Thousand Realms Creator at all."
