In fact, there are many players who think of burning trees.
After hearing the system warning, most people gave up. However, there are always a small number of people who are particularly brave and believe that "risk is proportional to reward."
Changqing is one of them.
He thought, the system said that burning trees would cause serious unknown consequences. Since it was "unknown", it could be good or bad? If the probability was one in two, then it was worth a try.
In the last round, Chang Qing had set a fire and successfully became one of the survivors. Now that he had tasted success, he became even more courageous. He quickly ignored the system's warnings and boldly lit dead branches and dry wood. Then he quickly retreated and stood in the isolation zone.
The fire snake devoured the trees, spreading all around and growing bigger and bigger. At the same time, thick black smoke slowly dissipated.
Changqing soaked cotton cloth with mineral water, covered his mouth and nose with it, and calmly watched the fire spread.
At this moment, he heard the howling of wolves and some other small noises. It seemed that a few wolves accidentally touched the flames and couldn't help but howl in pain. Occasionally, there were also sounds of rolling on the ground and struggling to put out the fire.
Chang Qing raised his lips with a smug look on his face, thinking that after the fire, everything would be burned to ashes. And he only needed to lie in the sun leisurely, eating and drinking calmly.
Just as he was imagining a bright future, the howling of wolves was getting closer.
Chang Qing's face changed slightly, and he belatedly thought of a question - the isolation zone where he was located might be the safest place in the primitive forest. Would animals come here to seek refuge? ?
As if to verify his guess, the next second, a pack of wolves appeared in front of him. Some of the wolves had their fur partially burnt, and the wounds emitted a lingering burnt smell.
When they saw Changqing, the wolves rushed towards him ferociously as if they had found their mortal enemy.
Chang Qing dodged in a panic. At this moment, he vaguely realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't stop it. The fire was too big, and no one could stop the flames from spreading unless it suddenly rained heavily.
He told himself again and again that this was the darkness before dawn. As long as he survived the beast's attack, the future would be bright.
Thinking of this, Changqing took out grenades and pistols from his portable storage and fought back without hesitation.
Most of the wolves were killed or wounded and were about to be wiped out. At this time, a rumbling sound of running was heard in the distance, and it was obvious that a large creature was approaching.
Chang Qing's face turned pale, and he slowly uttered three words, "Rhinoceros herd!"
Then there were many poisonous snakes.
Then there were five black bears...
Changqing tried his best to hold on, but his face became paler and paler, and the supplies in his warehouse became less and less.
Finally, he fell to the ground helplessly, watching an anaconda swimming towards him, and finally couldn't help cursing, "Fuck!"
Anaconda, the largest snake in the world, can be up to six meters long! Although the one in front of me didn't reach the maximum, it was still four meters long.
With a body weighing more than 100 kilograms, it only needs to surround the prey, and then with a slight roll and a little force, the target will be directly crushed. Thinking of this, Changqing's face twisted.
Only then did he finally understand what the system's warning meant. After burning the trees, the danger must be very dangerous. Unknown means that he might die in the hands of some animal... because there are many kinds of ferocious beasts in the primeval forest...
The moment he turned into white light, Changqing really wanted to curse.
**
At 9 am the next day, the system's mechanical voice sounded on time, "Game Day 2."
Zhong Rui rubbed his eyes and prepared to get up and work.
Su Han looked a little surprised and said suddenly, "I got a precious soap." She spread out her right hand, revealing the small soap in her palm.
Chinese medicine soap: Handmade soap, the raw materials are both medicinal and edible. After use, satiety +20, cleanliness +100, physical strength +80, "infection", "poisoning", "allergy", "diarrhea" status disappears.
"I got five pieces of this kind of soap at one time." Su Han added.
"That's good." Zhong Rui breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest problem at the moment is the shortage of daily necessities. If my friends are a little more lucky, they can trigger the chance a few more times...
Su Han was not overwhelmed by the sudden joy, and said calmly, "I know what you are thinking, but don't get your hopes up. It's been a long time since I got the second job, and this is the first time I got the Chinese medicine soap."
"Perhaps the Mercury retrograde in the past was for the explosion in the future?" Zhong Rui guessed.
Su Han refused to continue discussing the probability issue and only said, "Get up, it's time to work."
Zhong Rui yawned and tried to cheer himself up.
While he was resting, Su Han had already drawn a rough sketch on the soil with a stone, and now explained the sketch, "I have cleared out the living space. I plan to split the trees into thin strips and make a fence around it."
Zhong Rui pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled, "I think building a fence wall alone is not safe enough. It is better to leave a large enough space for activities with the tent as the center, and then dig a circular river channel and throw the electric eels into it." In this way, the ferocious beast in the river became their patron saint.
Su Han couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about the scene after the completion. But she suppressed her emotions and asked further, "How wide do you plan to build the river? Will it be a closed circle or a ring with entrances and exits?"
"A closed circle." Zhong Rui answered without hesitation, obviously after careful consideration. "And make a wooden board as a bridge. To enter and exit, just move the board and put it on both sides to enter and exit."
This is how cities were in ancient times. Usually, the city was surrounded by a moat, and the only way in and out was through a drawbridge. The bridge was put away when not in use, and lowered when residents needed to go out.
The more Su Han listened, the more excited she became. She thought, "It's not impossible to catch the electric eel. I've read some information that says after the electric eel discharges electricity continuously, it needs a long time to rest before it can recover its original discharge intensity. If we drive the cattle and horses into the river first and let the electric eel discharge electricity, it will be easy to catch the electric eel by then."
"That's right." Zhong Rui nodded slightly. He had also learned the same knowledge point.
"This will be a very difficult task at the beginning. Not only do we have to dig canals and catch electric eels, but we also have to be constantly vigilant against attacks from wild beasts, which will consume a lot of supplies." Su Han continued to analyze.
"There are only two laborers available. It will probably take several days for the two of us to complete this task. If we intentionally expand the river channel during construction, it will take even longer."
"Fortunately, we have enough food and drink, so we don't have to waste time looking for food and clean water. We can focus all our energy on digging canals."
"Once the river is built and electric eels and other ferocious beasts are deployed, the safety of the central area will be guaranteed. How many days you can survive then will be a battle between the replenishment speed and consumption speed of your innate skills."
Zhong Rui smiled and continued, "Three top talents can support two players, and all attributes can be restored during the upgrade. It's worth a try."
After thinking for a moment, Su Han made a decisive choice, "Okay, let's discuss the activity space and the size of the river, and then start digging."
However, the two had a disagreement on the issue of activity space and river size.
Su Han believed that in order to prevent any further trouble, the river channel should be built as soon as possible. Therefore, the activity space could be sacrificed appropriately and the river channel could be built smaller.
Zhong Rui, however, thought that since they had enough food and drink, there was no need to rush. As long as they finished the work before using up most of the inventory, the outcome would be the same - if it was safe enough, if the talent replenishment rate was greater than the consumption rate, they would live forever; if the talent replenishment rate was less than the consumption rate, they would die sooner or later.
The situation came to a standstill for a while.
Su Han thought about it and changed his communication method, "According to your plan, how many days will it take to complete the project?"
"According to preliminary calculations, we will be cutting down trees and removing stumps on the first day, and digging the river channel on the next six days. A total of seven days will be needed." Zhong Rui pondered for a moment before answering cautiously.
Su Han discussed, "How about this, we must dig the river channel within seven days. If there is extra time, we can widen the river channel. If there is not enough time, we can complete it quickly."
"Okay." Zhong Rui nodded.
At this point, the two finally reached a consensus.
After a quick breakfast, Zhong Rui continued to chop trees. Su Han wanted to dig a river channel, but the space had not been cleared yet. She wanted to dig the stumps, but the trees had not been chopped down yet. In the end, she simply helped chop trees to improve work efficiency.
Zhong Rui wanted to say something, but Su Han spoke up first, "Time is limited, two people will work faster."
Hearing this, Zhong Rui said nothing more.
The trees fell one after another, leaving a large open space. Seeing that there was enough space, Zhong Rui picked up the wooden shovel and started digging the soil.
Su Han removed the tree stumps one by one and started making soup.
Next to her was a king cobra, more than two meters long and very delicious. At this moment, it was lying on the ground, completely dead.
This unfortunate kid was really unlucky. He actually spotted Zhong Rui in the vast forest and attacked him while he was cutting wood. As a result, he didn't get any food, but lost his life.
Su Han skinned the snake, removed the internal organs, then cut it into small pieces and simmered it with ginger slices.
As time passed, a strange fragrance gradually spread.
Su Han checked the heat, added a little salt and rice wine, stirred it evenly, tasted it, and immediately showed satisfaction.
She turned around and said, "It's ready, come and eat."
Zhong Rui was covered in dust and looked dirty. He glanced at the attribute values and found that the cleanliness and fullness had dropped sharply. The drop rate was unprecedentedly fast, about four or five times that of the previous copies. He couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, "The programmer who designed the final battle is quite crazy."
"Because the winner will be decided in this round." Su Han didn't care. "It doesn't matter if it's difficult. The most important thing is that all players are treated equally."
As she spoke, she scooped out a bowl of snake soup and handed it over.
Zhong Rui took it, looked down at the remaining half of the snake meat, and couldn't help frowning, "Why is there so much left?"
"Two or three meters! We can't finish it." Su Han felt heartbroken when he thought about the possibility of wasting the snake meat.
"It's hard to say." Zhong Rui estimated, "With the current rate at which my satiety level is decreasing, I might be able to finish it."
In the game, players will not be full and can eat and drink as much as they want. When they say they cannot finish eating, they mean that they do not need to eat anymore until their satiety level is full. Before they finish eating, the food will rot. But now that the satiety level has dropped dramatically, the amount of food needed has greatly increased. Before it rots, maybe the whole snake can be used.
When Su Han heard that the food could be finished, his first reaction was not happiness, but a chill in his heart - the speed of consumption was alarming, which made him feel terrified.
For four days, the two stayed in the camp and dug the river.
Not long after the work started, Zhong Rui found that the estimate was too optimistic. Although there were two laborers, the girls were very fast at doing the hard work, even if that person was Su Han.
So he acted decisively and made adjustments without making any noise.
Apart from sleeping and eating, the two of them were digging the soil, working day and night. Finally, before the evening of the fifth day of the game, they had dug the river and made a wide and thick wooden board.
After all the tasks were completed, Su Han muttered softly, "It went better than expected." He had originally thought that it would definitely be delayed.
Zhong Rui calmly replied, "That's because the original plan was for the river to be 1m deep and 4m wide, but later it was quietly changed to 0.8m deep and 3m wide, so the workload was reduced."
Su Han, "..." She pretended that she hadn't said anything and turned her head to concentrate on roasting the venison.
The king cobra meat that was caught at the beginning had already been thrown away. On the one hand, it rotted faster than expected, and on the other hand, there were more and more animals coming to the door, which became new reserve food, so throwing away the inferior meat was not as painful as expected.
only……
Su Han frowned and muttered, "Is this an illusion? Why do I feel that there are more and more animals coming to my house recently, and the species are getting richer and richer?"
Zhong Rui's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "The storm is coming."
The author has something to say: Wild snake meat has parasites. It is not 100% safe for them to eat snake meat, but it does not trigger negative conditions.
