Chapter 18
The contestants left quickly, leaving Shi Buxi alone. For a moment, he felt quite lonely.
If you don't have a gun, how can you catch small animals?
"Make a crossbow." After Shi Buxi finished speaking, he returned to the castle and took out a knife. He walked on the wet grass towards the bamboo forest not far away, selected a bamboo that was two fingers wide, chopped it down and dragged it back.
Shi Buxi was making a simple crossbow. Besides using bamboo for the bow and arrows, he also needed a bowstring and a bow tube. Bowstrings are usually made from something resilient like cowhide or tendon. If these two materials were unavailable, fishing line would work. Shi Buxi used the fishing line and bow tube he found in the castle.
Making it isn't difficult. With all the necessary materials, it takes less than ten minutes. All that's left is to make the bow and arrow. Similarly, cut the bamboo to a size that fits the tube, then sharpen the arrowhead, and you're done.
Shi Buxi first cut one, raised the crossbow, inserted the arrow into the tube, held the crossbow horizontally on his arm, pulled the bowstring, aimed at a tree ten meters away and shot. With a whoosh, the arrow was inserted half an inch deep.
[Fuck, that's awesome.]
[It looks so simple, but is it really that aggressive? ]
[Of course, let those who study cold weapons tell you that ordinary crossbows can only shoot a few dozen meters at most, but a crossbow bed can shoot over a thousand meters. Ancient humans were more powerful than we imagine.]
[No wonder you don't need a gun. This thing can be used as a gun.]
"Okay, let's go find pheasants." Shi Buyi packed up his things, carried his bag, and set off with a crossbow and arrows.
"Can't I just leave this bag in the car? There's no one here anyway."
"Of course not. There are vampires and zombies. What if they take it? Such a powerful thing must be carried with you. Kid, am I right?"
"That's right," Shi Buyi replied with a smile. The talisman paper and inkstone were secondary. The most important thing was the second layer of the sandalwood box. If it was missing, the Grandmaster would come looking for him in the middle of the night.
The forest floor was damp and soft after days of rain. Shi Bushi's robe was soaked after walking for a while. He couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't they say the ecosystem has recovered? Why didn't I see a single pheasant?"
[It must be because this is the base camp of vampires. ]
"That's right. There were clearly five vampires last night, but only two remained guarding the gate. The other three must have returned to the vampire base. And the voice that directed those two vampires to attack from a distance yesterday might have been the Vampire King."
[I really want to know, is it really a vampire or an evolved zombie?]
"Shh!" Shi Buyi put his index finger to his lips, silencing them. He listened carefully and heard the sounds of fighting not far away. He crouched down and walked over carefully, pushing aside the branches...
White pants?
Shi Buyi crouched down and slowly raised his head, only to see the masked man in white he had seen before looking down at him. His eyes immediately lit up, and he made a move to grab the man's mask. However, he didn't expect the man to react quickly, reaching out to pinch Shi Buyi's neck. He quickly stepped back in shock, but he missed his neck and grabbed his collar instead.
"tear!"
A tearing sound was heard, and Shi Buxi's collar was torn open, revealing half of his chest.
This accident came suddenly and strangely. Both Shi Buxi and the other party were stunned. Then Shi Buxi reacted quickly, took out the talisman and slapped the masked man on the forehead.
"Hehe, how's it going? Can you still move? This immobilization talisman works whether you're a human or a ghost." Shi Buyi saw that the other party had stopped moving and asked with a cheerful smile, "What's your name? Starting today, how about you be my new driver?"
The masked man stared intently at the tiny red mole on the boy's collarbone, then his gaze shifted to the boy's smiling face. His hands trembled slightly at his side as he tried to speak, "My name is Zong Zhengqing, do you remember?"
However, his throat felt like it was clogged with cotton and he couldn't open his mouth at all.
"Oh, yes, I'm still staring at you!" Shi Buyi patted his forehead, moved closer to the masked man, and looked into his eyes through the mask. When their eyes met, he was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zong Zhengqing's heart began to beat rapidly, and he waited anxiously...
"I will take off the talisman, and you cannot attack me and become my new driver. If you agree, turn your eyes to the left." Shi Buxi ignored the vague image that just flashed through his mind and said with a smile.
Zong Ziyu's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he did as he asked.
Shi Buyi was happy. He took off the talisman on his forehead and looked at him warily. Seeing that he didn't react, he smiled. He was indeed the zombie he had his eyes on. "Then it's a deal. Let's go back."
[Ah, you don’t hunt pheasants anymore? ]
[Ahhh, no, no, this isn't a vampire! It's not a zombie either, it looks more like a human.]
You've missed the point. Didn't we hear a fight when we came over? Now he's the only one left. No, he's the only vampire left. No, he's a zombie. Ugh, what kind of creature is that?
Who would have thought that a survival reality show would lead me to discover so many new species on an abandoned blue planet? Am I dreaming?
[I think, perhaps after three thousand years, new life has emerged on Blue Planet.]
The audience was in a daze, unable to understand what was going on, their brains were a mess.
"Are you human?" Shi Buyi hesitated, seeing the audience so excited. He didn't smell the stench of a corpse from this person, nor did he have any other bad feelings. It was indeed quite strange.
Zong Zhengqing thought for a moment, then used his pale, slender fingers to slightly lift up the mask, revealing his smooth chin and beautiful lips. He then opened his mouth, revealing two fangs.
audience:……
"See, I told you he was a zombie!" Shi Buyi pointed at his fangs and was very happy. He didn't have to stay with that vampire anymore. Although he stuffed a cleansing talisman into him, the yin energy of the living dead still made him uncomfortable.
[No, that's even more wrong. How can zombies understand you? ]
[Even the vampires could understand. He seems more rational than the vampires, so how could he not understand?]
"Ahhh, I'm going crazy. What's going on? This is completely different from what we've learned."
[But before the kids, we didn't believe the yellow talisman could freeze a zombie!]
[What you said makes perfect sense and I can't refute it. But this is still strange. Why does he listen to you so much?]
"Because, he's afraid that I will punish him?" Shi Buyi asked doubtfully, looking at Zong Zhengqing, who nodded.
Shi Buyi was happy again, looking at the audience with a smile, as if to say, I am awesome.
The audience yelled, "No, there must be something fishy going on."
