Chapter 2836 Survive
They began to regret it again.
They remembered that many people had tried to cross the forest in the news, and most of them ended up dead or missing.
When a person gets used to living in a city, safety, water and food are all readily available.
As long as you do some hard work, you won't starve to death.
If all else fails, you won’t starve to death even if you rummage through the trash can.
Although they know the cruelty of nature, they do not understand its cruel aspects.
They tend to subconsciously ignore the cruel details of nature until those cruelties are right in front of them.
This is why many people who dare to confidently go deep into no-man's land will die in despair.
With the confidence they developed in the city, they stepped into a completely unfamiliar environment.
They don't know what to do when it's hot, or what to do when they lose temperature.
They have been numbed by the various perfect cares provided by the real city, and their nerves for life have been paralyzed.
There are no wild beasts, no poisonous snakes, and no poisonous insects in the city.
If you get sick with a fever or a cold, seek medical attention immediately.
But these conveniences do not exist in the forest.
This is why wild animals tend to have short lifespans, while humans tend to live to two-thirds of their maximum lifespan.
On average, the wild animals would be lucky if they could survive one fifth of their lives.
A wild animal in a zoo can live for 30 years, but in the wild it often dies in five years.
In the forest, every day is a challenge to life.
Even more people chose to return quietly.
As they walked, some people got lost. Even if they lit a fire in the forest, they couldn't see after walking a dozen steps because of the dense leaves.
You can observe the smoke during the day, but forget about it at night.
In the end, only about thirty stubborn people decided to give it a try.
"I just don't believe it. If they can do it, we can do it too."
"That's right, there aren't any extraordinary monsters here."
"I don't think the tiger was that powerful. I killed it with a stick."
They naturally didn't know that the strength of the four veterans was already three times that of an ordinary person, which is close to Tyson's level.
In this way, more than thirty people gathered together, ready to endure the long night.
In the distance came the sounds of animals and birds, and faintly there were screams of misery.
This is a battle between predator and prey.
From a distance, some eyes reflected green light and seemed to be staring at them.
"How about we go back?" someone asked in horror.
"It would be so embarrassing to go back, but at least we can get through this night, right?"
"Yeah, it's late at night and I can't see the road clearly."
In this way, more than thirty people spent a long night in fear.
The predators seemed to be afraid of this large group of unknown beasts and did not attack.
There were only a dozen poisonous snakes passing by, and someone screamed in fright.
As expected, he was bitten by a poisonous snake.
"No, I want to go back."
"It's all your fault. Why do you have to drag everyone down with you to seek death?"
The person who was bitten by the poisonous snake immediately started complaining.
He felt pain in his legs.
In fact, he should be thankful that the snake did not spray much venom.
Venom is also valuable to venomous snakes and is only injected when hunting.
Of course, injections will still be given when danger is encountered.
Therefore, the venomous snakes that have large amounts of venom and never worry about running out of venom are scary - the king cobra is one of them.
He chose to go back and ask for help from the seniors.
No one had anything to say.
Originally, I couldn't feel it in the crowd.
Now that they were out, just one poisonous snake left them helpless in the middle of the night.
Someone said, "Let's climb up a tree and rest."
"There could be poisonous snakes in the trees, too."
They realized that just the fire lit by the seniors, the gathering of people, and the sufficient fuel they found were a huge invisible benefit.
It can repel most poisonous snakes and insects.
At least poisonous snakes will not get close to a fire, which is a huge source of heat. As cold-blooded animals, they will instinctively avoid it.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
The stubborn team finally survived the night.
After checking the headcount, two people were found dead.
One was a person who was bitten by a poisonous snake. He fell to the ground after walking only a hundred meters or so and the poison took effect.
Although the venom was small, it was not properly bandaged and treated, which led to his death.
The second one died of freezing. His health was too poor and he wasn’t wearing much clothes, so he suffered from hypothermia.
Although this forest is very hot during the day, the temperature drops rapidly at night.
Because there is fog and water in the forest, there is a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains.
Therefore, it is not suitable for people to live in the forest.
"Let's go back."
"Yeah, don't be so stubborn."
"Two people died in one day, and we have to stay here for 100 days!"
The stubborn ones stopped talking.
Self-esteem is precious and it's easy to get carried away, but survival is never easy.
Survival makes people bow their heads, turns them into slaves, and turns them into self-domesticated animals.
This is how geography and environment determine consciousness.
……
At this moment.
There are still about 300 veterans left.
After getting up early, people come and go.
After a night of sorting, it included 35 people in the core layer, 100 people in the middle layer, and more than 150 people in the outer layer.
No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and Vincent immediately began to assign personnel according to yesterday's tasks.
The patrol teams took turns on patrol.
Others dried their clothes to prevent hypothermia.
Send someone to fetch water, boil water, and wash your face.
Washing your face is very important and can prevent many accidents from happening.
If you are not conscious, it is easy to die for unknown reasons - for example, by stepping on a poisonous snake.
Of course, there is one most important task, which is to find food.
Just as No. 1 was sending people to look for food, someone suddenly came over and whispered:
"Oh no."
"One of the old men who slept outside the fire yesterday is missing."
Number One took it very seriously and did not take it lightly.
He immediately took the members of the guard team and followed the man to check.
We arrived at the place where the old man disappeared, although it was outside the house.
But there were fires too.
Looking closely, there were traces of friction on the ground.
"Did you hear any noise at night?" Number One asked the old men.
"No."
"The missing one is Lao Wang, right?"
"It's strange. If the animal was taken away by a wild beast, why didn't the old man cry out?" an old man asked puzzledly.
And this is exactly why No. 1 takes it seriously: if there is a wild beast that can attack people and prevent them from issuing warnings, it would undoubtedly be terrifying.
Number One placed the old man on the periphery just to send out a warning.
But now it is of no use, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.
"Could it be that Lao Wang has frozen to death?" someone whispered, "He was shivering all night last night."
"Isn't there a fire?"
"The fire only takes care of one side."
When No. 1 heard this, he thought that if he was frozen to death, then it didn't matter.
Soon, he led the team to follow the traces.
Along the way, Vincent discovered clues.
"I think it's a python."
"python?"
"Yes, the python dragged the man away."
"Don't pythons just hunt and swallow people on the spot? Will they also drag away food?" Number Two asked doubtfully.
"After all, this is not the real world. Perhaps the python's habits have changed and it has started to store food?" Vincent guessed.
"OK then."
"Everyone get sticks and stones ready," Number One ordered the guards.
"Yes, boss." After one night, the number of guards expanded again.
From a dozen people, it expanded to thirty people.
They followed the possible python and after two miles they finally saw a rotten tree hole.
It was a tree that was hundreds of years old, very thick, and the hole was very deep.
Looking again, there were some pieces of clothes on the ground.
"It seems that this python dragged people here and swallowed them."
Everyone watched carefully with trepidation.
They actually found that a python's tail was still exposed.
"Okay, everyone pull hard and pull it out!" said No. 2.
Vincent took a closer look and began to analyze the tail based on its length, thickness and shape.
The tail is only as thick as an adult man's arm and is 30 centimeters long.
He could infer that the python was about 6 meters long.
This is already a very long python.
In fact, the reason why the python looks scary is because it is long enough.
But in fact, pythons are not very heavy.
A python over 6 meters long, looks very long, right?
In fact, because it is in a bar shape, its weight is often only 150 kg to 200 kg.
Only the weight of two adult men.
The python's strength is enough to deal with one adult, but if five or six adults come together, they can crush the python.
The python's threat just looked frightening.
In fact, it is far inferior to tigers and lions.
The latter two have high maneuverability, which is unmatched by pythons.
Constant temperature is stronger than variable temperature.
Everyone then started grabbing the python's tail and dragging it out little by little.
Drag it out a little bit, and there will be one more person coming up.
It just keeps dragging on like this.
And the python was coiled in the cave.
But in the end he was dragged out by the crowd.
"So long!"
Everyone was shocked.
Because the snake kept getting longer and longer, and it was really about seven meters long.
This is equivalent to the height of a two-story building.
Actually the weight is not that big.
In other words, absolute power is not that terrifying.
In fact, the tiger is much more powerful than the python, but it is not as tall as the python, which makes people have the illusion that the python is very powerful.
In fact, the Maizhou leopard often hunts pythons.
And everyone grabbed the python one by one.
Of course, many people are still very scared.
But Vincent and the other four took the lead.
The four of them pinched the python's head and grabbed its body, forcing it to be unable to launch the Death Coil.
"What are you afraid of? This python is much easier to deal with than a tiger."
"Yeah, it only has a head to bite people, and a body to wrap around."
"As long as these two things are overcome, it will be a big spicy snack."
"Yeah, it's not poisonous."
"And it had just eaten a person and it was hard for it to move."
So everyone grabbed the python's neck, and then someone hit the python's head hard with a stick.
The python struggled desperately.
Its abdomen was bulging, clearly in the shape of an oval human.
This looks horrible.
But in fact, the python is in a desperate situation.
It is far less powerful than a tiger. A tiger can launch a sneak attack. It has high mobility and strong attack power.
In fact, the only animals that pythons can deal with are some relatively slow animals.
Pythons can handle crocodiles.
But it can't even defeat the local Mai Chau lions and Mai Chau leopards.
This is a python that is more than 6 meters long.
In the end, everyone succeeded in killing the python.
Then they were able to use the tiger's huge fangs to cut open its belly, revealing a smelly, corroded human figure that was almost 1/10 of its size.
Everyone immediately waved their noses.
“It stinks.”
You can imagine what a python's digestive system tastes like.
It is also very difficult to clean this python.
There are a lot of parasites in the body of python.
In order to prevent the spread of plague, people did not take the python back.
They built a fire on the spot and skinned and smoked the python at the same time.
When its skin was cut open, a large number of parasites were found wriggling in the python's muscles.
It's creepy to watch.
If he had trypophobia, he would have been driven to death long ago.
Wildlife is not easy.
They have no medicine to take.
Parasites alone can significantly shorten their lifespan.
Many people still think that game is a good thing.
If they had seen pictures of parasites in wild animals, they would not have said that.
Modern people live in cities and have very few parasites.
The threat of parasites is also something that cannot be ignored when surviving in the wilderness.
There are all kinds of parasites living in the wild, and they all appear in the bodies of animals.
All I saw was dense, strip-like objects under the python's skin.
Inside the muscle tissue, many filaments are still moving.
Poor python.
Fortunately, its pain nerves are insensitive.
Otherwise, I don’t know how painful it would be.
Fortunately, it doesn't suffer anymore.
After all, kind people avenged it.
The blazing flames burned the parasites to death.
Of course, no one dares to eat meat that contains parasites.
It must be cooked thoroughly.
Even so, some parasite eggs can still resist burning at high temperatures.
It takes a long time to grill them to death.
After some hard work, they finally cut up more than 100 kilograms of python meat.
This thing is naturally considered a relatively inferior meat.
Then they roasted the snake skin dry and burned the parasites to death.
This snake skin can be made into leather armor.
that's it.
After dealing with the python and the tiger, the animals in the nearby forest seemed to acknowledge their strength.
They just live their lives according to the routine.
With a well-planned life, time passes quickly.
And those who had escaped and left came back one after another.
After enduring the ridicule, they all became much more obedient.
And the prestige of the four was established in this way.
The threat of nature itself can bring people to their knees.
Those who stay behind naturally feel superior.
Of course, some people were discussing in low voices.
“Aren’t we supposed to be equals?”
"Yes, everyone should be equal to each other so that we can unite with each other."
"Everyone, just be patient for another month or so until we get used to this place."
Everyone nodded.
Everyone understands the concept of sleeping on straw and tasting gall.
They fantasize that one day in the future they will take revenge.
Look at how dumbfounded those four people are.
But they simply don’t understand that humans have an inertia of obedience, and if they can mobilize only one-tenth of the people by then, they will be considered powerful.
