Chapter 9 Desert Island Survival (3)
When Zhang Heng dragged the bare-ass guy to the beach, both of them were basically exhausted.
Zhang Heng didn't even know how he swam back in the last section of the road. After approaching the target man, he realized that the other party's lumbar spine was injured and his thigh was cut by a reef, so he couldn't move at all. No wonder he could only go with the flow like a mineral water bottle.
It's not easy to drag him back.
During the middle of the journey, Zhang Heng couldn't help but give up several times. Unexpectedly, this guy had a good mentality and kept cheering him up.
Zhang Heng finally gritted his teeth and caught the guy.
The two of them lie on the beach for a while, and Zhang Heng really didn't want to move his little fingers. If possible, he would like to close his eyes and fall asleep now.
However, I didn't expect that after just two minutes, the bare-ass guy said again, "Hey buddy, this won't work. We are not far from the equator now. The temperature at noon can reach 35 or 6 degrees. If this continues, we will soon dehydrate."
“…………”
"I'll get you to a cool place now." Zhang Heng took a few breaths, accumulated a little more strength, dragged the man under a rock wall, and took off his T-shirt and helped him briefly bandage the wound on his thigh.
After that, Zhang Heng was really out of strength and could not even throw the stones. Fortunately, he picked up a few coconuts that fell to the ground a little further away.
The bare-skinned guy saw Zhang Heng preparing to smash the coconut, opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped.
"Um?"
"I don't want to show my urge to be more serious, but if I can, please give me green coconuts. Such coconuts that fell on the ground are old. Drinking the milky white juice inside may cause diarrhea. On this deserted island where there is nothing, this is very deadly."
"You seem to have a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild?"
"I've been in the army for a while and spent more than two years hiking through the Amazon rainforest, so yes, I think I can be called an expert in survival in the wild."
Zhang Heng knew that he had bet right. Sure enough, there would be no level that completely puts players in a good game. He knew that the man in front of him was his hope of surviving on this deserted island.
But this made him curious, and who were the two guys after that?
After all, in terms of difficulty, saving a bare-ass man is the easiest to do, and according to the game designer's usual thinking, the more you pay, the more rewards you will get.
However, Zhang Heng did not regret it. He knew his own physical condition best.
It was already very difficult to save the bare-ass man. Even if he could swim there, he would not have the strength to bring it back.
What's more, the man with a slightly slight hairline in front of him looks easy to get along with at least.
As an enlightenment teacher, sometimes attitude is far more important than ability.
Sure enough, he heard the other party say, "Friend, can you help me find some green coconut? My throat is so dry. I will teach you how to find water."
"No problem." Zhang Heng took advantage of this skill and lay down for a while, and recovered some of his energy, which could just meet the other party's needs.
This time, he smashed fourteen coconuts in one breath, gave five bare-ass men, ate three more, and the remaining six were used as food storage.
The bare-ass man had drunk coconut milk and looked much better. He stretched out a hand and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Ed Wilson, a British, a former British Army captain in Afghanistan. Just call me Ed. Thank you very much for saving my life."
"Zhang Heng, Chinese, is still in his sophomore year, so you have to be welcome." Zhang Heng had a friendly handshake with a former British Army captain in Afghanistan.
After that, the latter's tone suddenly became low, "It's a pity for those two guys. There is no other land nearby except this small island. They may be in danger of not being able to come up."
However, the man named Ed obviously has good self-psychological adjustment ability. He was sad and then regained his optimism. "Okay, according to the agreement, I should fulfill the agreement and teach you how to find water."
"When I was on the sea, I had a roughly eye-catching test. This island should be about 12,000 hectares in size. I found some animal footprints near the bushes. This means that there may be streams on the island. Following the animal footprints, you can find it. But at the same time, the bad news is that this also means that there are predators on the island. It will be very soon tonight. It is not a wise move to explore the island without torches. You may get lost and be attacked by wild beasts..."
Ed patiently taught his survival skills in the wild. In order to facilitate Zhang Heng to hear each word clearly, he deliberately slowed down his speech.
Even so, Zhang Heng would interrupt him from time to time and ask about the meaning of a certain word. Although Zhang Heng had parents who worked abroad, the two gods stayed at home for a short time and did not deliberately cultivate Zhang Heng's foreign language proficiency.
Therefore, the latter's English is just a CET-6, and there is no big problem with daily communication, but once professional vocabulary is involved, Ed must explain it again.
The two of them learned one by one. Twenty minutes later, Zhang Heng finally figured out how to find tamsui in the wild. According to Ed's suggestion, he temporarily used coconut milk as the main source of water. At the same time, he searched the nearby stone walls. Not only did he successfully find several small puddles, but he also found a natural cave.
It is about ten square meters, and it is full of bird droppings. The smell is not very pleasant, but the terrain is relatively high, so you don’t have to worry about being swept away by the tide when you go to bed at night. And more importantly, it is in a leeward position. The island is still very cold in the morning and evening, especially when blown by the wind, which will take away more heat.
As the sun sets, Zhang Heng uses the last bit of light in the sky to pick a few coconuts and serves them as dinner with the ones before. Then the two in the cave say good night to each other.
As a city man, Zhang Heng slept in the wild for the first time. Although he knew that his spirit and body had reached the limit and needed rest in urgent need of rest, he still couldn't close his eyes for a long time. Whether it was the smell of bird droppings in the air, the hard rocks behind him, the unknown bugs crawling through his arms in the dark...everything was tormenting his nerves and making him restless.
Ed suddenly said, "Zhang, have I told you what is the most important thing in survival in the wild?"
"What?" Zhang Heng hadn't heard the movement behind him for a long time, and thought the man was asleep.
"Survival skills are of course very important, there is no doubt about it, but more importantly, keep yourself optimistic. When you feel tormented, you can think of those happy things and tell yourself that maybe a ship will pass by here tomorrow and bring me back to the civilized world." Ed's mentality is as positive as ever.
Zhang Heng sighed secretly. If this was really a game, it would be impossible for a ship to pass by within 40 days. However, Ed's words still made his mood a lot better. The most important thing was to make him realize that he was not alone at this moment. Zhang Heng was not a person who likes to complain about the world.
