As the airship slowly approached from afar, Yang Zheng loaded his slingshot with steel balls.
We can fire at any time as long as the target is within range.
He may not be good at anything else, but he's been an expert at using slingshots since he was a child.
"Come here, fly over here quickly, let me test my new slingshot and see how powerful it really is..."
Yang Zheng stared intently at the airship in the distance, muttering to himself.
Strangely, when the airship was still more than 200 meters away from him, it suddenly made a sharp turn in mid-air and flew away to another area.
Seeing this, he frowned.
What's going on?
Why did you suddenly back down? Did you find the slingshot I have?
Upon closer reflection, I realized it's not impossible.
Standing on the mountaintop, I observed for a while longer.
He discovered that the black airship hadn't flown far; it was just hovering about 300 meters above him, as if it were monitoring his movements.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Zheng frowned slightly.
"Damn it, if only I had an AK, I could have just blasted it down with a whole magazine!"
"It's so annoying that it keeps buzzing around me like a fly all day long!"
He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of firearms.
That's how it is in China; ordinary people have absolutely no access to real firearms, and it's very difficult for them to even see them.
If this were abroad, anyone with money could probably get their hands on a Barrett.
What does an anti-materiel Barrett sniper rifle mean in the small world?
It should be considered a long-range weapon of mass destruction, right?
To those petty people, a cannon that is more than ten meters long has an effective range of two thousand meters and a maximum range of more than eight thousand meters.
In other words, a single shot fired by a Barrett can directly blast down a target 20 kilometers away in the small world.
I used to see news reports about some amazing people who could make homemade guns and cannons using lathes and other machines.
The problem is that this thing is too specialized. Even if he could afford a lathe now, he wouldn't know how to use it!
You can't exactly go to a hardware mold factory and be an apprentice for several years, can you?
Sigh... In the current environment, it's best to forget about firearms; getting any explosives at all would be considered good.
Thinking of this, he sighed again.
The situation is like this: the black airship in the sky is clearly aimed at you, but you can't do anything about it.
The more I think about it, the more depressed I become.
After a moment's hesitation, Yang Zheng took off the marbles, put away the slingshot, and prepared to leave this familiar area to explore the outside world.
I'm just wandering around this area a lot, and it doesn't feel very interesting.
Hope to find some surprises outside!
Since I'm standing on this mountain ridge, I might as well climb over it and go outside to take a look.
Based on observation, there is an even higher mountain not far from this ridge, about three or four kilometers away.
It appears to be about 200 meters high.
He decided to explore the "mountain" to see if he could find any precious woods such as rosewood or huanghuali along the way.
As for the airships hovering overhead, I couldn't be bothered with them.
If it wants to monitor, then let it follow.
Anyway, it wouldn't dare to do anything to itself.
Sooner or later, I will find a way to bring it down.
After surveying the area from the mountaintop, Yang Zheng found a relatively easy path down the mountain, and began to glide and leap along it, heading towards the other side of the mountain.
To be honest, the terrain of the mountain range was still somewhat rugged and steep, but fortunately there were many trees, and Yang Zheng's skills and reactions were particularly agile after being enhanced by the exotic fruit.
He could leap and bound down the mountain by simply grabbing onto a nearby tree.
Along the way, all you could see were towering, lush green trees, several meters tall.
It must be said that the forest vegetation within the small world is extremely lush.
Although these plants and trees look particularly short, they are still refreshing and offer a unique kind of scenery.
The 18-meter-tall giant resembled a tiger descending a mountain.
The commotion caused was simply too great.
This caused the birds and beasts hiding in the nearby mountains and forests to flee in terror, screaming all the while.
Suddenly, an extremely slippery slope appeared ahead. Yang Zheng was rushing too fast and couldn't stop at all, so he could only watch helplessly as he slid down the slope.
Just as he was about to crash into a boulder ten meters away, fortunately, his reaction time was much faster than before. He grabbed the top of a large tree and quickly regained his balance.
Under the immense weight and inertia of the giant, the tree, which was over two meters tall, was bent and looked as if it might break at any moment.
"That was close!"
Looking at the huge rock so close to him, Yang Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A sudden increase in physical strength is not always a good thing.
Because it requires readjustment.
For example, he is still acting according to his old habits, but he always forgets that he has been enhanced by the alien fruit. His speed, strength and jumping ability are much stronger than before.
But subconsciously, he still sees himself as the person he used to be, always forgetting that he is no longer the person he used to be.
Therefore, unexpected events are inevitable.
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng sighed inwardly, thinking, "It seems I still need to adapt to my body's rhythm as soon as possible. Currently, my control over my body is not as flexible as before..."
Having learned his lesson from the recent loss of control, Yang Zheng became much more composed in the following days and dared not act as recklessly as before.
We arrived at the foot of the mountain without any major incidents.
Before me lay a low, undulating forest, and at the edge of the forest, about three or four kilometers away, stood a mountain range that resembled a giant dragon.
The highest point of the mountain range should be over two hundred meters.
Staring at the distant mountains, Yang Zheng pondered for a moment and decided to climb up there and observe with his binoculars to see if he could make any new discoveries.
Soon, he continued on his way, passing through rolling forests, and arrived at the foot of that "mountain".
Along the way, he used a magnifying glass to observe everywhere, but he did not find any small-leaf sandalwood or huanghuali.
This made him somewhat depressed.
As far as he knew, these two pieces of wood were extremely valuable, especially the finest rosewood and huanghuali, which were worth as much as gold.
Having wandered around this small world for so long, I still haven't found these two pieces of precious wood. It's probably because these two kinds of plants don't exist here.
"Let's not worry about that for now. Let's climb to the top of the mountain and take a look. As long as he finds the town of Lilliput, what are sandalwood and rosewood? We can just go in and plunder them and probably become rich overnight!"
With that in mind, Yang Zheng immediately climbed to the top of the "mountain" in front of him as quickly as possible.
The higher the mountain, the stronger the wind.
Yang Zheng stood on a huge rock, looking around. He had a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, and there were no mountains higher than this one.
"The view here is expansive; we should be able to observe some new sights!"
Yang Zheng picked up the binoculars and began to observe carefully.
To the left and in front are endless green mountain ranges, and directly in front is the same, nothing but primeval forests, with not much change.
Slowly, he moved the binoculars to the right front.
"Hey, there seems to be a river in the distance..."
Based on his observations, Yang Zheng discovered a shimmering river about four or five kilometers to his right, within a canyon formed by the separation of two large mountains.
The river was very wide, at least several times wider than the small river below his hillside.
It is estimated that the water surface is more than ten meters wide.
According to the scaling ratio, a river that is more than 100 meters wide is already a large river in the miniature world.
The great river meandered down, faintly winding its way to the right and downwards.
Looking at the great river in the distance, Yang Zheng pondered for a moment, wondering if the small river below the hillside was a branch of it.
Should I go explore it later?
Suddenly, at that very moment.
A series of white dots appeared at the end of the river in the distance.
As the white dots moved, they slowly approached and gradually enlarged.
Finally, Yang Zheng saw it clearly: "Sails! They're white sails!"
Through his binoculars, he could vaguely see a dozen small sailboats, their sails fully unfurled, drifting downstream.
Because the sailboats were small and the telescope's magnification was insufficient, he couldn't see clearly what was on those mini sailboats, let alone who was on them.
Buzz...
The black airship above his head kept circling around him.
It emitted a series of faint buzzing sounds.
Suddenly, the airship turned around in mid-air and accelerated towards the sailboats in the distance.
Upon seeing this, Yang Zheng's expression changed, and he instantly understood what was going on.
"Reinforcements! Their reinforcements have arrived!"
"This airship has been circling around this area to monitor my movements, while also waiting for reinforcements to arrive!"
For some reason, his brows twitched uncontrollably, and a strange sense of crisis arose in his heart.
"No, I have to go back right away! This place is no place to stay any longer!"
"If these scoundrels are carrying a lot of machine guns and cannons, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand their attack!"
"Let's lay low for now, go back and prepare properly. Next time we come in, it'll probably be a tough battle..."
