Live in Doomsday Wasteland

Chapter 167 Trees

Chen Qi ran and jumped all the way, not paying attention to the surrounding things at all. This is quite a rare scene in his live broadcast career.

After all, Chen Qi's cowardice, or cautiousness, was almost engraved in his bones.

It wasn't until after running 200 meters that Chen Qi slowed down and remembered where he was now.

"Caution O brothers! Caution."

Chen Qi untied the bow and arrow from his back, put on the arrow and held it in his hand, and began to walk forward step by step steadily. Although the speed was still quite fast, at least he didn't run away indiscriminately.

........................

Walking around a certain field ridge, Chen Qi saw a stone not far away that was slanted on the ground, covered with vines, and faintly revealing an off-white color.

Walking forward, as Chen Qi walked uphill step by step, more and more gray-white "stones" appeared in front of him.

When Chen Qi came close, he was finally able to confirm his thoughts.

"Brothers, these are not stones, but former houses.

These off-white ones are walls.As for their roofs, well... long gone.

broke. "

When living in the countryside in his previous life, Chen Qi noticed a very interesting phenomenon. If the owner of a house is still alive and living in it, then no matter how he doesn’t care about the house and doesn’t take care of it, at least he lives in it. While here, the house will not collapse.

However, as long as there are no people living in a house, there is no owner.Then the house will soon have one broken window, then a second, a third... until all the windows are broken.

After that, the chains and bolts on the door would break, and the doors and windows would fall and rot away.Roof tiles crooked and crumbled here and there.

The empty house is getting longer and longer, and finally the whole house will directly become a dilapidated house, the kind that will collapse at any time.

But Chen Qiming has seen a house where there are lonely old people living in poor health, and he usually doesn't have the time and ability to renovate the house, and let it be exposed to the wind and rain day by day, but as long as there are people living in it, then There will be no such thing.

Chen Qi asked his parents when he was a child, and the parents said: Because as long as there are people living in it, there will be popularity, and if there is a fire in the house for cooking, there will not be so many ants and mice to destroy the house.

Someone lives there, regardless of whether he is young or old, whether he is a family or living alone, whether he is diligent or lazy.As long as there are people around, there will be no brat like Chen Qi running into the house and throwing stones at the windows.

Birds don't dare to build their nests on the beams. One day they bump a tile, and the next day they drop a bug.

Chen Qi, who grew up, also saw a saying on the Internet about the "broken window effect".

Combining this point of view, the reason why such a phenomenon occurs is that there is actually a fact that the destruction from the beginning expands infinitely, forming a domino effect.

Even if it is a house that lives alone or for the elderly, once there is something wrong with the house, or the door is broken, or the window is broken, it will always be repaired.

Although it doesn't matter if there is no problem, it at least prevents further damage.It also appears that the house is occupied and unoccupied in essence.

If it is an ordinary brick and tile house, or a house built directly with local stones, it will survive 50 years and be passed on to the next generation to continue to live. There must be no problem.

However, uninhabited for 50 years, tropical areas are exposed to wind and rain, sun exposure, weathering...

Coupled with so many local animals and plants that are so happy to grow, these former old houses can leave a piece of wall above the foundation, which is quite good.

..........................................

Although it was confirmed that this was once the location of the village, Chen Qi didn't intend to collect anything.

It would be better if there were dense bushes here, even if buried in the soil, it would be better than being directly exposed to air and rain.

The current village may have nothing but these walls connected to the foundation.

"Oh, not necessarily. Plastic or something, glass cups and the like, and ceramic jars and the like, there must still be leftovers.

But it must be broken.

They are resistant to oxidation, and the table on which they are placed cannot bear it. "

After only staying outside the village for a while, and rubbing the stone wall with his hands twice, Chen Qi turned his head and left.

There must have been roads in the village once, and the grass between those walls was not very healthy.

Following the widest road out of the village, Chen Qi walked out leisurely step by step.

Along the way, the sound of Chen Qi's footsteps disturbed many small animals.From time to time, some subtle sounds came from the grass on both sides, and the grass poles could be seen shaking.

"It seems that quite a few small animals have taken these leftover walls in the village as a good place to make their homes.

That's right, they build their nests with soil, branches and grass poles, where there are stone and cement walls that are strong. "

Not far away, next to a patch of dandelions, a big rabbit with red eyes is closing its mouth, quickly killing the weeds one by one.

Chen Qi found it from a long distance away.

Concealing his figure and filling his footsteps, Chen Qi slowly leaned against the wall on the side of the road.

Although the landform of the village has changed greatly in the past so long, the land is still flat after all, and there are no large and small stones everywhere.

It is a flat river in sight.

The rabbit hadn't noticed Chen Qi yet, so it didn't know that a black arrow had already been aimed at its chubby body.

call out!
A crackling sound appeared.

Chen Qi shot the arrow without much aiming.

Before the rabbit that was grazing took the next step, its mouth was still moving, and was pushed half a meter away by the kinetic energy carried by the arrow flying in the distance. It lay on its side on the ground, shaking its feet constantly.

"Hahaha! Hit! Brother's archery is getting better and better! It's 30 meters at least!"

Chen Qi happily ran over, and picked up the rabbit that had been shot in the side and was already motionless.

..............................

The Law of the Wasteland: "Ah...Ye Qinghui..."

I saw no sheep in the mountains: "Didn't kick the chin, bad review!"

Taixiong Sur: "The bunny is so cute, how can it not be braised in soy sauce?!"

Zhang Jiao, who did not flash: "This wave is a pre-emptive attack!"

Yeye embraced him: "Chen Qi won't be beaten anymore, and he won't run away either. You don't need to watch this live broadcast!"

Pot-boiled salted fish: "——Rabbit!! Zi!!"

JDZ middle school students: "Shut it down, it's boring"

Li from the mountainside: "Gouzi, you have changed."

..............................

Chen Qi killed a fat rabbit quickly and happily, and none of his fans were happy for him.

Compared to the wonderful archery skills that Chen Qi is showing now, everyone seems to prefer to watch the scene of Chen Qi being slapped in the face.

"Hey, this is a little too much for you.

Look, I managed to capture the first wild game meal here!

Crab?Are crabs considered crabs? "

Chen Qi didn't come here to hunt, but if he caught prey, it would be impossible to throw it here.

There are eagles and owls everywhere in the sky, what if they are taken away.

In this regard, Chen Qi has "experience".

He directly bled the rabbit on the spot, and after a simple treatment, Chen Qi casually got some weeds around, wiped off the blood on the rabbit, tied a button with the grass, tied it to the rabbit, and tied it to the rabbit. Put it on your back and continue on your way.

"I'm going to eat this rabbit today. The leftovers...

Then just dig a hole and bury it.

The current hot and humid environment will not allow me, who does not have a refrigerator, to keep this rabbit for more than a day. "

Walking along the road, Chen Qi came to a place where the wall could not be seen, which meant that he had gone out of the village.

Standing at what might be the entrance of the village, Chen Qi saw a collapsed utility pole half buried in the soil. When he stepped on it, the cement turned into powder.

"Tropical areas. The sun is poisonous, there is wind every day, and it rains every now and then.

That's all. "

Going forward, after about 20 minutes, Chen Qi found what he was looking for.

"Tree! Big tree!"

In this kind of place where there are trees everywhere and everything is green as far as the eye can see, it is of course impossible for ordinary trees to attract Chen Qi's attention.

The tree that excited him was really a big one!Tree! !
Oversized tree.

…………

Relying on the wide view on both sides of the road, Chen Qi trotted all the way with the rabbit on his back, and soon came to the big tree he mentioned.

And at this time, fans finally got a glimpse of the whole picture of the "big tree" that Chen Qi called.

Well, the full picture is impossible to drop.It's so close that the perspective of the drone can no longer fit all the big trees.

Under Chen Qi's signal, the drone automatically lifted off and circled the big tree, giving fans a 360-degree shot with no dead ends.

This tree is not tall, at least in today's home planet, it can't be called a tall tree anyway.

Even counting the leaves at the top of the canopy, it is only about ten meters at most, not to mention, the bamboos here are so taller than it.

But it is too thick and too many branches!
Although it is not as luxuriant as the big banyan tree known as a forest of single trees or the hundred-year-old big oak tree that many people know.

But the visual shock of this tree is no less than those two kinds of trees.

The reason is that this thick and sturdy tree, which looks like a stump, suddenly branched out from a straight trunk at a height of about four or five meters above the ground.

The whole big tree looks like it was designed, but it actually grows a "platform" on the trunk!
Chen Qi stood under the tree, looking at the tree with satisfaction.

He knew that when he saw the tree, his tree house was already there.

However, fans of course still don't know what Chen Qi is thinking at this time.

After Chen Qi came here, he never said that he wanted to build a tree house.

Some people speculated that Chen Qi would not continue to build a small wooden house, but probably wanted to build a well-ventilated stone house, or directly build a small bamboo building or something.

As for the tree house, it seems that this is not necessary at all, so naturally no one guesses here.

However, since soil is not needed, there must be no way to lay a foundation. Building a bamboo house on top of a tree is of course the easiest way.

..............................

At this point, it is no longer necessary to continue to play tricks on fans.

Anyway, when I transport building materials here, there will definitely be fans who will directly guess that I want to use this big tree to build a house on the top of the tree. It is no problem to tell them directly now.

"Guys, I bet you that you've never seen a tree like this.

Just now I saw that some fans said that the banyan tree is actually very close.

This tree is a large tree plant belonging to the Moraceae family and the genus Ficus.Although you may not have seen it, you have probably heard it.

This tree, it's the bodhi tree. "

Of course, I have heard of the Bodhi tree.Great name!

Chen Qi continued: "In Sri Lanka, there is a holy bodhi tree, which seems to be enshrined in a temple. It is said that it grew from a branch cut from the bodhi tree where the Buddha sat quietly and enlightened.

We don’t know the truth. Anyway, there have been examples of artificial planting of bodhi trees as far back as 200 BC, which is the oldest recorded human being.

That tree is too far away from us, so I may not be able to show it to you.

However, as long as there are villages, there will be one or many linden trees not far away, which should be true. "

The Bodhi tree has been planted artificially in Sri Lanka for thousands of years. This tree has taken root everywhere in Sri Lanka and has become a kind of native tree species.

"In the days to come, I will find a way to build a small tree house on the top of this tree as a long-term camp.

don't worry.Don't get excited.

As soon as tomorrow, we will start to make this, while digging gems, while making this tree house. "

Chen Qi walked forward for a while, about ten meters away, there was a downhill, and it seemed unreliable to transport building materials from this direction.

Chen Qi looked to his side again, that was almost where he came from.

And where Chen Qi was looking at, there happened to be a river about 200 meters away from here.

"Perfect!"

To build a tree house, what Chen Qi most wanted to use was of course bamboo.

But Chen Qi didn't see a bamboo forest nearby. If he wanted to bring the bamboos from his shelter over, he had to take the right-angle turn he just came over, or he had to climb this slope, neither of which was good. select.

But with this river, it's easy.

Chen Qida can directly carry some thinner bamboos, or the ones that are resistant to thick bamboos one at a time, and use the buoyancy of the water to transport the bamboos to a place 200 meters away.

For the remaining 200 meters, even if Chen Qi resisted slowly, he would be able to resist the bamboo bit by bit.

"Hehehe, it's such a happy decision!"

Chen Qi turned his head, looked at the big bodhi tree, and nodded in satisfaction.

Go back and cook this rabbit first, and sleep well at night.

Start working tomorrow!
Transport bamboo in the morning and dig sand in the afternoon!
