AB crash

Eli's first day after his rations ran out was tough.

He gave me some necessary things, such as trackers, positioning equipment, and wilderness survival guides...

We started to eat the cane that Eli had snapped off. The bitter and astringent food was hard for me to swallow, but in this environment, no one has a right to complain.

Sometimes we will hunt some animals. Animals on this planet are generally large and fierce. We don’t want to hunt them if they are a little bigger. It's a pity to be sad, hunchbacked and tired.

Of course, unless those beasts take the initiative to attack us.

Today's food is a slightly larger cat.

With slightly long fangs and black fur, Eli and I teamed up with a laser gun to kill it.

"Today's luck is good, this is a small cub, and it was injured before." While talking, Eli stabbed a knife into its throat, and the blood spurted out and splashed on Eli's face On the surface, at this moment, he looked like a primitive man who had just hunted food, and there was a sense of rough cunning all over his body.

I don't think my situation is any better than his. I took some firewood and stared at this motionless creature lying on the ground. In my eyes, this feline animal has become a lump Grilled cooked meat.

I licked my lips involuntarily, "Find a place to camp! I'm going to eat well tonight!" I looked at the feline hungrily, swallowed, and said.

Eli looked around, and then raised his hand to look at his terrain detector, and said to me: "Going west, there will be a mountain, and if you are lucky, there may be a cave."

I said "Okay", grabbed the feline's leg, carried it on my shoulder and muttered: "Every morning when I wake up, I feel like I have been poisoned. I am covered in sacks all over my body. I will feed the mosquitoes in the whole jungle." I’m full! Cave, cave, go!” This is what I’m extremely resentful about. Every night, those blood-sucking little things rub against me. Eli-alpha can keep them away with his breath, but I’m not as special as beta. Function, those little things seemed to be dead, they jumped straight at me, stinging me all over, itching to death, making me very aggrieved.

Eli laughed, "It's as if there are no mosquitos in the cave."

I glanced at him and thought that the mosquitoes that were going to sting you came to sting me and you still laughed at me!He retorted: "The cave is better than the open air!"

As we said that, we both lifted the feline on our shoulders in unison, and proceeded in the direction Eli said.

In fact, it is still early, about two to three o'clock in the afternoon, but often at this time we have already begun to choose the camping place for the night.

Be sure to choose a good place to camp at night, because if something goes wrong, you will find that you have reached the den of some kind of beast when you wake up the next morning.

Both Eli and I are not in poor health. When we were not too tired to walk, we carried animals on our shoulders, and no one delayed the other.

Although Eli and I like to quarrel with each other from time to time, there has never been any conflict in the coordination of movements. To use a rather crooked word, it is a tacit understanding. This is a fortunate point.

Soon after we arrived at the foot of the mountain, but we never stopped, because we wanted to find a suitable place as today's campsite.

Occasionally there will be vines for us to collect along the way. According to what Eli said, in fact, the vines of many trees are not edible, because there may be some toxins in them. If you eat them without knowing it, then the game is over.

I grabbed the hanging cane, I pulled it, and asked Eli if it was okay to eat, and Eli looked back and said yes.

I tore off the cane with brute force, thinking that the cane was so long that it could be used as a rope.

After tidying up the rattan, after walking a few steps, he found another rattan on a branch, asked Eli again, and took the rattan again.

It took about four or five repetitions before Eli and I realized something was wrong.

"This is a kind of vine from a tree..." Eli frowned, smelled the smell, and said.

I looked up at the smooth tree trunks above my head, and felt weird too, "Could we have walked into some kind of dense tree growth?" I guessed.

Eli shook his head, "Probably not, even if it is a kind of tree, the vines will not look so similar."

I want to laugh a little, don't all rattans look the same?Still similar?

Eli lifted the feline up again, "Let's go and see."

I think so too. If you can’t draw a conclusion, you can only wait and see.

After walking for tens of meters, I saw more and more vines, hanging down and hitting my face from time to time. From the initial surprise, I gradually evolved into aesthetic fatigue.

"Ke Yao." Eli called my name suddenly, "I see." He turned around and said to me.

"What?" I was a little confused.

"This is a tree." Eli's expression was filled with joyful pride, "This is a very big tree."

I looked up at the sky that was almost completely covered by forest leaves. I couldn't tell which branches had which leaves, but the surrounding tree branches were extremely smooth. After Eli said this, I understood a little bit, But I'm a little unsure of what I'm thinking.

"You mean..." Before I finished speaking, I noticed that Eli's footsteps were a little faster.

His back was in front of me, "you'll know when you see the trunk!" he said.

When Eli led my footsteps to a stop, I opened my eyes wide, and I couldn't help but put down the feline that had been on my shoulders all the time, raised my head, and couldn't believe what I saw.

At that moment, I had the illusion that I suddenly shrank hundreds of thousands of times, just like an ant looking up at the ancient tree in the sky——

It is indeed a gigantic tree.

It takes dozens to hundreds of people to hold hands and form a circle to wrap the lower part of its body. Its roots must have penetrated into the deepest underground that other trees cannot reach.

"My God..." I sighed involuntarily, looking up at the stretched canopy, I only felt that the sky was covered with a colored spider web magnified hundreds of thousands of times.

I think I understand that the small trees we saw just now are actually just the branches of this tree that penetrated into the ground, and those vines are also its products-we just stepped into the territory covered by it at some point.

"This is a huge mutant tree species." Eli also looked up at the branches above and murmured.

We found a cave in the rock-wall round the tree, a bit high up, but no doubt a good place for an evening's rest.

Eli and I swung into the cave by the cane of this giant tree.

After confirming that there are no animals living in it, we plan to rest here.

Eli breathed a sigh of relief, and said to me: "I was a little worried about drinking water for a few days, but now it seems that I don't need it."

I sighed, and in great depression, I took a cane stick and crunched it in my mouth, but it was still as unpalatable as ever!

Eli walked up to me and suddenly asked me, "Do you want to drink normal water?"

I froze for a moment and asked him back, "Do you know where there is drinking water?"

Eli nodded, "It shows on my scout."

"That's good!" I immediately stood up and rolled up my sleeves, "Let's go!"

Eli raised his eyebrows, pressed my shoulders and told me to sit down, "You don't have to, I'll go."

Just as I was about to ask why, the kid pointed at the cat beside him, "I think you can stay and fix that thing."

I thought about it, and I thought it was true. This would save a lot of time, so I nodded in agreement.

Eli pulled a cane and looked back at me, "I'm going out first, and I'll be back in about two or three hours."

I opened the cat's belly with a knife, and nodded, "Try to come back before dark, it's hard to move at night."

Eli hummed, then left the entrance of the cave swinging the cane.

I watched him swinging back and forth by the cane, and suddenly thought of the orangutan who was swinging the tree and vine and howling.

Eli the Ape?

I couldn't help laughing, and then went to great lengths to skin the feline.

In fact, it takes a lot of time to make barbecue. It takes a long time just to make the animal hollow.

Soon, my hands were stained with bright red blood.

I was a little crazy, thinking it was too difficult to do this stuff without washing hands.

After I dealt with the heart and lung problems of this feline animal, about an hour has passed. I took out the firewood I had prepared from the bag, and felt that it was not enough, so I swung the cane to pick up some—— There is a live flint in Eli's bag, and it would be much easier to use that thing as a primer to do this, but that kid didn't stay, and I forgot to mention it when he left.

I didn't dare to go too far to find wood. I was afraid that if I went far, I wouldn't be able to find my way back.

While looking for wood, I also pulled down a few long vines. The experience of lack of water a few days ago gave me a psychological shadow, so it is best to prepare more of these things.

I often turned around several times with these things before I set up the firewood, lit the fire, checked the time, and found that it was getting late.

Some wondered why Eli hadn't come back, but finally decided to do my own thing.

I removed the feline's legs with a knife. The knife was very sharp, and Eli gave it to me. It's basically not difficult to cut the meat.

I have two legs, one for Eli.

Using two stronger wooden sticks, I started to bake.

Roasting meat also takes time, especially this kind of thicker meat.

The roasting was not very good a few days ago, but after a few days of familiarization, the roasting technique has gradually become more proficient.

I seldom cook anything, but I have grilled more meat these days, probably more than I have grilled in my entire life.

Fortunately, I have rough skin and thick flesh, and I have a strong ability to adapt. If my health is weak, I may become ill halfway through the journey.

I was thinking about turning over the meat.

Time has passed for a long time, but the kid Eli still hasn't come back.

At first I thought I was the only one who thought the time was passing too slowly, but when I picked up the optical brain and looked at it, two hours passed and it was almost three hours!

Why hasn't Eli come back yet?

I started to feel uneasy, but thinking about Eli's skills, I think he should be fine.

I put my own roast in my mouth, and Eli's still sits there, until the aroma of the roast hits my nose.

While eating, he sent a communication request to Eli's optical brain - no one answered.

I turned on the tracker again—it was tethered to a device on Eli's body, and I could see his movements.

It can be seen from the tracker that he didn't go too far, but stayed in one place and didn't move for a while.

"Hey, if you don't come back, I will eat up your legs."

I felt a little wrong, and frowned and sent him a text message.

Time passed by, and the howling of wild animals occasionally sounded in my ears-this was their assembly call in the evening, indicating that they were about to start hunting.

It also means that it will be dark soon.

Glancing at the tracker again, he found that Eli was still in that place, motionless as if he had lost his life.

My unease became more and more intense, and I sent several messages to Eli, but there was no reply.

Hold!Don't something happen?

As much as I hate to admit it, I can't help but think about it.

The food in his mouth became tasteless, and one side of Eli's roasted thigh was blackened.

isn't it?

I asked for communication again and again, and the longer the wait for the connection, the more violent my heart beat that started to panic.

I evacuated Eli's roasted legs from the fire, put out the fire, stood up, watched the sky gradually turn dark, and slowly approached the entrance of the cave.

Sliding to the ground with the help of the cane, I knew what I would face if I went to him now.

But I can't sit still like this.

It's not Eli's style to stay in one place and not move, unless something happens to him.

I keep the flashlight Eli gave me in my carry-on bag.

Looking back at the entrance of the cave that was just chosen as the place to stay tonight, he stretched out his hand and tore off the two longer rattans, and tied the tails of the two rattans together to form a longer rattan.

After pulling about a dozen or twenty, the rattan has been stretched very long by me. However, the sky gradually turned dark, and my vision became more and more blurred. After a rough estimate, I stopped knotting the rattan.

Please, Eli, don't make any fools in this situation...

The tracker that Eli gave me in advance played a big role at this time. From the above display, Eli’s location is not far away at this time. If I go all the way to the northeast and the “rope” in my hand If it's long enough, there should be no problem.
