Chapter 0068: Survival Mentor
Regarding the bet between this cold woman and the male gentleman, even if it involves whether Xia Chenghao and Mason can survive to the end, Hongyue No. 1 still remained silent and did not interject, as if he was used to the smell of gunpowder born from the gambling game.
After the survival training began, the children were placed in different positions within the barbed wire. Being a cleaner, on duty, planting vegetables, etc., all the hard work is undertaken by children, which is about a kind of exercise of willpower.
"Xia Chenghao-, planting vegetables-" Someone helped find his name in the holographic electronic bulletin board, and read it out loud, his task was to go to the back mountain to help the white fat man grow vegetables.
Don't ask why he was sent to the back mountain, anyway, everyone has the most tiring thing to vomit blood, and it is also an equal task.
Xia Chenghao thought about it, it must be more than lucky, that place was too remote, and he didn't know which direction to run in if he wanted to run for his life.
There is no complicated procedure to report to the back mountain vegetable field, and there is no ceremony, the man in black who brought him just dropped a sentence at random and said: "The survival race begins-"
Then, hand over Xia Chenghao to a big fat man who is white and strong.
A hoe was thrown in front of him, along with a black canvas bag, and no further instructions. However, with Xia Chenghao's cleverness, he immediately guessed the intention, of course, the hoe is used for growing vegetables, and the canvas bag is full of tools or instruments that may be used, open it and take a look, and there are even things like mines.
This is a process of tempering the will, and fighting against the life and death of the remaining seventy children, and the white fat man is Xia Chenghao's survival mentor, specializing in providing technical and tactical references.
"You can call me Uncle Ni, and from today onwards you will be guided by me."
Xia Chenghao responded politely: "Uncle Ni is good! So what are you going to teach me? ”
Uncle Ni said coldly: "Many sports ......, including fighting, vehicle driving, firearms, polygraph resistance, and further physical training, as well as camouflage and reconnaissance, etc. ”
Xia Chenghao nodded hard: "I understand, I will work hard!" ”
Uncle Ni then advised, "Remember, your code name is K665, but I will still call you by your name here." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Ni!"
Uncle Ni said that he started by planting cabbage here, and learned about this vegetable field in the back mountains in his spare time. Xia Chenghao knew that one day, the opponent would come here, and that day would not be too far away.
coincides with Uncle Ni's thoughts, and the first thing he learns is camouflage and reconnaissance.
What about reconnaissance under the pretense of being for their own safety? It is to understand the dynamics of the surrounding area. Although Xia Chenghao didn't think about who to kill first, he understood the truth of knowing himself and his opponent.
Uncle Ni will help him, and no one wants the child he is mentoring to die soon, so there will be no play.
In fact, camouflage and reconnaissance are two inseparable skills, camouflage is the premise of reconnaissance, the purpose is to start from Xia Chenghao's own vegetable field, use stealth means to confuse the enemy, and not be confused by the illusion cast by the enemy.
Reconnaissance is based on camouflage, with the aim of being able to spot the enemy without being detected by the enemy. The two complement each other and combine organically to form the necessary techniques for Red Moon, the pre-cleaners.
From Super Xueruan's computer knowledge, he has learned that in order to protect their own safety, various creatures in the universe make full use of their own physiological characteristics and the weaknesses of natural enemies in vision and processing information in order to protect their own safety, according to the natural law of natural selection of the fittest, and use camouflage to deceive each other to achieve concealment purposes.
Obviously, within this barbed wire fence on the Fire Planet, the other seventy-two children are Xia Chenghao's natural enemies, and they will appear here at any time and attack the children in the vegetable field.
Once successful, the opponent has one more hope of surviving to the end.
Perhaps Mason Carr would be the most formidable opponent, but it was not entirely impossible that he would become a secret ally like he did in the Super Academy.
But at present, everything is unknown, and it is necessary to be careful to walk the ship of ten thousand years. So Xia Chenghao naturally included Mason in the list of opponents, and he would rather misunderstand than be wrong.
Uncle Ni grows vegetables with Xia Chenghao every day, from sowing seeds to fertilizing, and there are many types of vegetables planted. What Xia Chenghao didn't expect was that Uncle Ni caught many small animals from around the vegetable garden, which was by no means open source for Red Moon, it was completely his personal pleasure.
In fact, what really made Xia Chenghao understand why he did this was what happened later.
Uncle Ni acted in this way nothing more than to dissect the camouflage techniques of creatures in nature in the process of growing vegetables and raising small animals, to see how they were invisible, how they mimicked and how they interfered.
Stealthy animals usually adapt to the external environment to change their colors and tones to protect themselves and confuse predators.
In the jungle on the edge of the vegetable fields in the back mountains, a chameleon adopts the method of protective color, adjusting the skin tone according to the color of the surrounding environment. If it weren't for Uncle Ni's guidance, Xia Chenghao wouldn't have been able to find their existence at all.
Mimicry is essentially a false display.
"The Stick Worm on Mars should be the most mimicked creature on this planet, look there......"
Following where Uncle Ni pointed, Xia Chenghao really saw a slightly trembling creature, but if he didn't look closely, it would be difficult to confirm its existence.
Indeed, in the biological world known to mankind, the best at mimicry camouflage is probably the stick insect. When it lies on a plant, it can match the shape of the plant with its own body shape, and dress up as a simulated plant, or branches or leaves, which can be almost realistic.
At the same time, it changes its body color according to light and humidity and temperature differences, allowing it to fully blend in with its surroundings.
Xia Chenghao squatted there and watched for a long time, more and more doubting whether there was something wrong with his eyes, he could still see it at the beginning, but when he looked at it, it was obviously a plant and there were no stick insects.
"Of course, the light will be hidden, and you can only run for your life. If you want to win, you have to interfere with the other party, so that the other party cannot complete hiding and disguise. ”
Xia Chenghao listened carefully.
He understands that the current tranquility will not last long, and once the children in the surrounding area feel that they have enough power, they will start to act.
So Uncle Ni won't talk about it again and again. At most, Xia Chenghao can memorize and understand the best, but if he can't learn it, he can only blame him for his low qualifications.
One afternoon, Uncle Ni said to Xia Chenghao with a gloomy face: "You have been observing and understanding for a long time, and from today onwards, you will disguise yourself for me to find." If found, then fasting for one meal, and if found twice, not allowed to eat that day. ”
Xia Chenghao was very clear about his current ability, if he really wanted to do this, there was a great chance of starvation, so he had the courage to ask Uncle Ni: "If you can't eat, you can't starve to death?" ”
Uncle Ni will never be soft-hearted, and the result of soft-heartedness is not that Xia Chenghao was starved to death, but that he was killed by his friends. So, he coldly spit out a sentence: "Then, if you don't want to die, you can completely let me not find you." ”
