Chapter 12 Little Survival Masters in the Wild
Carrying two dead coyotes on his back, Andy decides to find a suitable place to spend the night.
There are hills not far away, and go there to find a sheltered corner and make a fire, which can be used to cook, keep warm, and drive away wild beasts.
Slowly walking towards his destination, Andy tensed up again.
It's a good place in the wilderness like this, and sometimes it's not just people, and it's likely to be an accident if you approach it rashly, but since you have a gun in your hand and a V-mode escort, it's safer, but you still need some caution.
Looking at the semi-circular flat land under the mountain rock suitable for resting in front of him, Andy did not rush over and sit down, but used the V mode to scan it first.
[Trap Found, Qty 1, Type: Mixer Bomb]
"Shhhh
Andy couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but fortunately he thought about it a little more, otherwise this would have to be reopened in place.
In the field of view of V mode, a mixing line is set up in a hidden corner not far away, and a small bomb is buried on the other side, and the position of the mixing line leads to the inside of this shelter, once there is no place to dodge in time, it will be blown up immediately.
Cautiously walked over and dismantled the fuse, the vicious little trap was cracked by Andy.
"Which bastard is this ....."
Andy black-faced cursed that this kind of trap-setting guy would die on his own thunder one day.
The trap has been set for a long time, and the traces on it look old, probably the person who set the trap has long since left, but this thing is still in a state of waiting to be triggered, which can be described as infinitely harmful.
After scolding a few words, without thinking about it more, Andy was going to work on the fire, he couldn't just start tearing wolf meat, and learning from a certain bear to eat it raw.....
If you want to start a fire, you first need to find some flammable materials.
It's impossible to find any paper cotton or anything like that, but there are some dry weeds, so Andy went to collect some and gather them.
Pick up some whitish dead branches and place them on top of the dead grass.
Andy didn't have anything on hand, no lighters, no wood to drill, no knives or flint or anything like that.... So after thinking about it, it seems that there is only one way to start a fire.
He took out a bullet, poured out some gunpowder and sprinkled it on the dry grass, then filled the vacant space with some dry grass, and then sent a pistol to shoot at the dry grass, and after a gunshot, the prepared igniter was successfully ignited, and a flame gradually rose to illuminate the surrounding darkness.
After a while, I leaned on the rocks to enjoy the hard-won light and warmth, but unfortunately the hunger in my stomach was attacking, and I couldn't just fall asleep.
Andy got up and walked to the side of the two dead wolves, how to dismember these corpses for barbecue? I don't have a knife on hand, and there is no stone knife on the rocks around me.....
He racked his brain to figure out how he could find or make a tool that could be used to cut in this situation..... There is indeed something in nature that can be used as a sharp knife, such as.... Silica-rich reeds..... But there can be no reeds in this environment.
When he was worried, Andy inadvertently turned his head to look to the side, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a person lying on his stomach in the depths of the rock wall not far away..... If it weren't for the firelight illuminating the darkness and being at the right angle, you wouldn't have noticed it from outside..... On closer inspection, the man seemed to be dirty.
Before he had time to think about it, Andy hurriedly stood up and raised the gun in his hand.
"Somebody's there?"
He asked in a loud voice, the voice spreading through the wilderness, but there was no response from the other party, and the lying figure remained motionless.
Another gust of wind blew, and a whirring sound wafted behind Andy, taking away a drop of cold sweat from his head by the way.
It didn't seem surprising that the V-mode was unresponsive, as he had sensed that sometimes if the distance was exceeded, obscured, or in an obstacle, the V-mode would not be able to detect the surroundings.
He asked a few more questions, and finally began to walk slowly.
A small groove rolled out of the inside of the rock wall, and the figure of the creature loomed in the firelight, and he knew nothing but a roughly lying position.
One-step, two-step, three-step......
As he got closer, the faint green light emitted by the Pip-Boy illuminated the small dark space, though it only added to the horror-movie-like atmosphere.
The sand on the ground left strange marks, and a guy who could be identified as a man was lying inside, wearing a black leather jacket and jeans, and a cowboy hat buttoned up on his head.
There was sand covering his body, and only half of his body was exposed.
Andy hesitated for a moment, then went up and pulled his cowboy hat open.
A miserable white skull appeared in front of Andy's eyes, which is not surprising, how a normal person would bury himself half-buried in the sand in a lying position, and if this happens, then it is very likely that it is a dead person.
casually walked over and scratched the sand with his foot, and the exposed limbs had turned into white bones, and the dry desert had preserved the bones of this corpse well..... But there are also things that are wrong, such as the fact that this guy has only half of his limbs left, and his hands and feet are missing. There was no sign of dried flesh and blood, just a few scattered bones.
"Well, looks like those coyotes must have been here before."
Andy let his guard down and didn't take this skeleton seriously, in some of his memories, this situation was almost commonplace, walking alone in this wild wasteland, the sudden death almost did not need a reason, because there were so many reasons for this.... Lack of supplies, getting lost, wildlife attacks, bandit attacks, natural disasters, diseases, accidental injuries.....
You've put your life on the table when you embark on this journey, so it's no surprise to meet unlucky losers along the way.
In line with the principle of not wasting it, he didn't care about taking away the well-preserved hats, leather jackets, and jeans, which had been torn up, just a filthy rag, useless and useless.
However, in the position of the belt, Andy turned out a small knife, which was a little rusty, but it was still preserved.
I didn't see this guy with any other weapons or supplies, and I could find a few things that were suspected to be bullet holes on his leather jacket, and I couldn't be sure how many people had been here before Andy came, and I couldn't be sure that he was the one who set the trap.... In short, nothing to be surprised about ....
Andy tossed the knife and pondered how to cut the wolf meat for a while, while humming some strange tunes.
Just turned around.
An earth-shattering outcry came from behind him.
