Chapter 57: Strange 'Jelly'
Ash pole tree, Ling Tao found a total of four, and all of them were dug back, there is no tool processing, can only take local materials, with fire to burn the roots, after all, it is wood, no matter how to get acquainted with tenacity, it has not yet reached the point of not being afraid of fire.
After some polishing of the ground stones, the carbonization part is solved, so that a wooden grab is 'built', although it is only two relatively sharp wooden sticks, but it has a certain lethality.
Ling Tao's actions undoubtedly reminded the others that the remaining three tree trunks, one of which was relatively thick, was turned into an eyebrow-level long stick by Zhang Guohua as a weapon in his hand.
The other two were burned off by the fire and became four wooden sticks of almost a meter, Wang Jun monopolized two, one end was sharpened, which could be used for smashing and assassination, and his hard-working military stabbing fighting skills had a place to use, of course, the wooden stick was a wooden stick after all, and it was relatively long, which could not be compared with a weapon like a military stab.
The remaining two Mi Xu long sticks, one of which is for Jiang Feifei, she can use it as a crutch at the same time, and it can also be used as a weapon when it is dangerous, of course, such a delicate girl, don't expect her to be of much help.
As for Yu Miaomiao, he has a bow and arrow, but he can't use a wooden stick, and he became Ling Tao's with the remaining Mixu long stick, and there is a long weapon of wooden robbery, and there is also a short weapon of wooden stick.
Although it was just a wooden stick, with the weapon in hand, the group felt a lot more at ease.
"Tsk, after a busy day's work, the sun is about to set, we just crossed a bridge, at this speed, what year and month can we reach S City", holding two sharp wooden sticks, Wang Jun looked at the 'broken bridge' on the opposite side and sighed.
In the morning, I watched Zhang Guohua make straw ropes, and it took half a day to cross the river down the mountain.
"Pack up, wait for the journey, go as far as you can, you have to find a place to spend the night before dark", Ling Tao said as he looked at the sky.
Although it took only one day to walk less than 100 meters, there was no way to do it.
After a few hours of sunshine, Zhang Guohua's fish meat was almost dry, packed into Ling Tao's backpack, a large bag of bulging bags, although the moisture was dried, and the inedible part was removed, but the dried fish alone was fifty or sixty catties, and if five people saved a little, they could eat it for a few days.
"These fish bones and teeth are not bad, but I don't have tools in my hands, otherwise, I can make a good weapon with a little processing, but it's a pity that it's ......," Ling Tao then looked at the fish bones all over the ground and shook his head and said.
"What's the use of this thing, there is no technology to inlay it on a wooden stick, and it is too short to make a weapon alone", Wang Jun pouted, and he was bored, and stabbed the sharp end of the stick in his hand towards a piece of fish skull.
With a click, the fish's skull cracked.
Although Wang Jun's move was just an unintentional move, the next scene made everyone present curious.
I saw that in the skull of the fish pierced by him, a blood-colored mist rose up, spreading like a spray, although it was not much, but everyone present smelled the same sweet fragrance, it smelled very good, but it quickly spread and disappeared.
"What's going on? It can't be that there is still blood in the fish skull, and the skull is destroyed by me, and it can't stand the pressure of the air and burst out", Wang Jun said dumbfounded as he looked at the fish skull in front of him.
"Wait, what's this"? Ling Tao stopped Wang Jun's immediate action of pulling out the wooden stick and said, squatting down as he spoke, approaching the fish skull that he had punctured carefully.
The wooden stick in Wang Jun's hand, the tip of which was as thick as a fingertip, formed a crack after piercing the fish's skull, allowing Ling Kong to see that there was something else in the fish's skull.
Something as clear as a red crystal, not solid, but liquid, but viscous, like jelly.
"What the hell"? Wang Jun also squatted down to observe carefully.
As the stick in his hand swung, the red liquid in the fish's skull shook slightly.
"Isn't it supposed to have a brain in the head of any animal? Why is there this thing in this fish skull?" Ling Tao said in surprise and picked up the fish skull.
Unexpectedly, after picking up the fish skull, the red liquid in the skull dripped out along the crack and fell to the ground and was still rolling.
The red liquid that dripped out was only a drop the size of a glass bead, as transparent as glass, but it condensed like jelly, rolled on the ground, and finally came to rest on a small piece of stone.
"What is this"? Wang Jun was curious and stretched out two fingers to take it.
But Wang Jun's move was stopped by Ling Tao, and said: "Don't move, fat man, we have never seen this kind of thing, don't mess around, if it's poisonous or something, it's over."
"Well, yes, but what the hell is this, shouldn't the brain marrow be in the head of a fish? How did this thing happen"? Wang Jun scratched his head and wondered.
Ling Tao thought about it, picked up a fish bone from the side, and carefully stabbed it into this drop of jelly-like red 'liquid', without any hindrance, as if it was really just jelly, but after the fish bone was pulled out, this thing was not sticky at all, and it was completely separated from the fish bone, and it was still a drop of crystal clear 'jelly'!
"It's strange, is this unique to the mutated strange fish, or is it just this fish?" Wang Jun wondered, thought about it, he got up with a stick, and knocked open all the other more than ten fish skulls, but there was no such thing in the other fish skulls.
"Maybe it's an accident, or maybe it's something that grew when this fish is sick", Ling Tao shook his head and got up and said, he didn't risk slamming it with his hands from beginning to end, this unknown thing is better to be less bang.
"Forget it, let's go", Zhang Guohua on the side didn't care much about this kind of thing, when he was in the countryside, stones the size of a fist grew in the pig's belly, and he was not surprised by this kind of thing.
Next, Zhang Guohua volunteered to carry a package containing dozens of catties of fish meat on his back, he has a lot of strength, there is no problem with carrying this thing, if it is replaced by Ling Tao and the two, I am afraid that he will not be able to walk far and will be tired and lie down.
Due to the smoothing of the railway, the injured Yu Miaomiao and Jiang Feifei were able to act on their own, while Wang Jun and Ling Tao were carrying the straw rope, and after a few hours of sunbathing, the water in the straw rope evaporated, and the weight was much lighter.
Ling Tao, who had walked a few steps, thought about it and stopped, and reached out to get it in front of that drop of red liquid like jelly, he suddenly thought that the day before in the tunnel, the honey of the wasp had a peculiar effect, and this red 'jelly' should also be a little useful, there is no danger, put it next to him and study it slowly.
The 'jelly' is soft in the hand, no different from real jelly, but it has no taste.
"Why are you picking up this thing, if it's poisonous or something, you'll be finished", Wang Jun returned what Ling Tao had said before.
"I'm just curious, let's go", Ling Tao said with a smile, wrapped a leaf in a 'jelly' and put it in his trouser pocket, and then lifted the straw rope with Wang Jun again to keep up with Zhang Guohua and their footsteps.
The reason why I want to bring a straw rope is because I think maybe there is some use in the future, and it is Zhang Guohua who has finally woven it, and it is a pity to lose it.
Returned to the railroad again, although the road was easy, but because there were two wounded, they were not fast.
Perhaps because there was no ant colony on this side of the river, after walking for a long time, you could already hear the sound of insects chirping in the grass on the side, and even birds chirping in the distance, and the world seemed to be suddenly restored to life.
With the previous encounter, the group was all cautious, walking in the middle of the railway as much as possible, not approaching the grass on the side, and walking for more than an hour, and did not encounter any danger when the sky became dark.
"Next, let's find a place to rest for the night, and it's not safe to see it when we can't see it at night," Ling Tao said, looking at the sky.
No one had any objections, especially Yu Miaomiao and Jiang Feifei, the two wounded, who had almost reached their limit after walking for more than a little time.
Spending the night in the wild, no matter what the season, it is necessary to make a fire, not only to dispel the chill of the night, but also to effectively expel some wild animals, after all, many wild creatures are afraid of fire.
When the bonfire was raised, it was completely dark, and this was the third night that Ling Tao and the others were about to spend in the wild, and it had been more than seventy-two hours since the X virus ravaged the world.
There was no internet, no modern equipment, and the group had to sit around the fire.
Zhang Guohua used the straw rope to arrange it around, and built several stone piles with stones, and the straw rope was wrapped around the stone pile, once something approached and touched the grass rope, it would guide the stone pile to fall, which could play a warning role.
On the premise that you don't have tools, make full use of the qiē in your hand to ensure safety.
With nothing to do, Wang Jun and Ling Tao walked to the side to practice military body boxing, and after two times, they were so hungry that they were sweating profusely.
"Get something to eat, rest for the night, and continue to rush tomorrow morning", Ling Tao stood up and said after resting for a while.
Although Wang Jun said that this set of military body boxing can exercise all parts of the human body, Ling Tao, who has been in contact with military body boxing for two days, has not seen any effect for the time being.
Dinner is still fish without any ingredients, and it is not delicious to eat it after it is roasted over the fire, but in order to fill the stomach, even the most squeamish person has to eat it.
To rest in the wild, someone must keep vigil, under some arrangement, Ling Tao was the first to keep vigil, everyone else fell asleep tiredly, and Ling Tao, who had nothing to do, took out the red 'jelly' that appeared in the fish skull again and put it in his hand to look at .......
