Chapter 1, Lucky Day
It is referred to as an accident because this is a snare for roe deer, not for wild boars
Gao Yuan immediately dropped the stone in his right hand and ran over, holding the spear.
The training has concluded, and it is time to seek out prey
The wild chicken that was struck fell to the ground, while the rest of the wild chickens, startled, flew away in a flurry. Gao Yuan immediately ran towards the wild chicken he had hit.
The wild chicken suddenly raised its head, only to be struck on the head by a high-flying stone.
He did not stare for too long, as the aching arms reminded Gao Yuan that it was time to engage in the daily training.
A girl who appears very frail and poses no threat
The first prey has been captured, but the hunting journey has only just begun. It seems that luck is on our side today, and perhaps there will be more gains to be had.
Gao Yuan repeated the action of throwing stones fifty times. After experiencing pain in his arm last night, which made it somewhat difficult to lift chopsticks, he decided to reduce his training volume.
A wild boar is lying on its back by the roadside, less than twenty meters away, but there is a person standing behind the wild boar
However, the wild boar kept jumping around, causing Gaoyuan's spear to miss and instead strike the boar's rear end rather than the central lung area
Today is indeed a day of great fortune.
It has been two months since the aliens arrived
Looking at the person with the knife, Gao Yuan couldn't help but laugh. No matter who the other person was, as long as he could see a living person, Gao Yuan would feel an innate joy.
The air was cold and fresh. Gao Yuan stepped out of the door, took a deep breath, and after gathering his courage, looked up at the sky
Raise the knife
With a spear in his left hand, a long hunting knife hanging from his belt, an axe and a saw in his backpack, and a stone grasped in his right hand, Gao Yuan has armed himself well
Secondly, Gao Yuan is happy because he is facing a woman, and moreover, a young girl
The wild boar dashed away, still holding a half-section of a spear shaft in its hand. Looking at a small piece of iron wire left on the tree, and then glancing at the spearhead that had fallen to the ground, Gao Yuan, lying on the ground, was filled with doubt about whether he was dreaming.
A wild boar is just a wild boar, its explosive power is unmatched by domestic pigs, let alone by humans. Fortunately, this wild boar is small, and it has not yet developed tusks, otherwise, this blow would definitely be enough to inflict a fatal gash on a high and slender leg.
Regardless of the circumstances, a wild boar appeared right before him. In a mix of surprise and joy, Gao Yuan, at that moment, could not afford to think much. He instinctively lunged forward and thrust a spear.
It is worth mentioning that hunting is no longer against the law, as since the arrival of extraterrestrials, the only species that needs protection on Earth is humanity
Indeed, what one fears often comes to pass. As I followed the narrow path and looked ahead, Gao Yuan immediately raised his half-length spear.
The wild boar has gone out of control, and only half a spear shaft remains in Gao Yuan's hand
Gao Yuan is not in a hurry, for he knows that he is not a hunter; thus, he still needs to explore and learn how to hunt, which requires time, and he has plenty of time
The wild boar had nearly broken the wire, and as the boar, struck by a spear, struggled desperately, the wire noose suddenly snapped silently.
Crossing mountains and traversing ridges, weaving through dense forests, Gao Yuan meticulously observed the bloodstains, tracking his first prey.
Although he knew that the spacecraft was still stationary and that its invisibility was merely due to being obscured by clouds, this was enough to provide Gao Yuan with a sense of security
Gao Yuan did not think too much; he raised his arm and quickly threw the stone he had been holding in his hand.
Because Gao Yuan could not help but wonder if he was the last living human on Earth, he knew that this possibility was actually quite small, but he was truly afraid of being the last human.
How did the trap set for the roe deer end up catching a wild boar, and how did the meat that was in hand manage to escape
As long as it is not a zombie, Gao Yuan is not afraid; his heart immediately settled down and he felt quite happy, for he had finally encountered a living person, and he had finally met his long-awaited kindred.
Not far from just having set off, after turning a corner of the abandoned hillside field, Gao Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks
Gao Yuan aimed for the area under the front leg of the wild boar, which is the heart and lung region of all animals. As long as the spear can hit this spot, the wild boar will soon die, or even perish instantly.
Gao Yuan's hunting targets are wild boars and roe deer. He has set many traps, but for nearly two months, he has not obtained any game
Winter has already arrived, and the temperature in the mountains is very low. The leaves on the trees have mostly fallen, yet the MC multi-terrain camouflage still exhibits outstanding concealment against the predominantly brown and yellow background. This makes it difficult for others to easily spot Gao Yuan, who is wearing the camouflage uniform, as he advances.
In other words, the wild boar is about to die
Gao Yuan needs a healthy and well-functioning arm to cope with various potential crises. Therefore, although he urgently needs to master a key survival skill, he still has to reduce his training volume to protect his arm. He understands the principle that too much of anything can be detrimental.
The level of excitement for Gao Yuan is undoubtedly high, but what makes him happiest is not that he has wild chicken to eat today, but that the skills he has diligently practiced for a long time have finally come into play
There is no sun, nor is there that alien spacecraft; the thick clouds obscure everything.
A group of wild chickens, numbering at least a dozen, has recently been spotted, with the nearest rooster less than ten meters away, and it is currently foraging in the grass.
Just wield the knife; if one can handle a knife, it certainly indicates that they are not a zombie
One end of a wire lasso is tightly bound to a small tree, while a wild boar is struggling desperately at the other end of the lasso
Upon arriving near a mountain spring that had not yet frozen, Gao Yuan noticed a thicket of bushes shaking, where he had set a trap specifically for roe deer.
During the first attempt to pierce a living creature with a spear, Gao Yuan subconsciously held back his strength, in simple terms, he hesitated.
Is there a difference
Any skill requires long-term training. Achieving a hit rate of 41 out of 50 shots in just two months has already made Gao Yuan very satisfied with the current level of proficiency
This is not the first time Gao Yuan has encountered a wild chicken, nor is it the first time he has thrown stones at a wild chicken, but this is indeed the first time he has hit a wild chicken.
Gao Yuan lost the ability to resist, but out of instinct, the injured wild boar's first reaction was to flee for its life, rather than to kill Gao Yuan for revenge before escaping
The roe deer is relatively rare, but Gao Yuan can be certain that there are roe deer here, as he has seen them twice already
The wild boar will certainly die from excessive blood loss, and even if the duration is unknown, it is worth pursuing; perhaps the dead wild boar can be found soon. With this hope in mind, Gao Yuan no longer hesitated, picked up the spearhead that had fallen to the ground, and immediately followed the trail of blood.
The alien spacecraft has never moved from that location, and everyone has to adapt to the presence of the spacecraft
Gao Yuan is diligently training in the skill of stone throwing
Gao Yuan was very excited while chasing, which made him hardly feel tired. However, just as he passed through a small patch of dense forest and suddenly came upon a small path, Gao Yuan instantly became tense.
Then, an unexpected event occurred
Having run quite far, the blood traces are becoming fewer and harder to see. Several times, it took a long time for Gao Yuan to relocate the blood trail or the signs of the wild boar's passage, but this also indicates that the wild boar has little blood left to bleed.
A snare made of iron wire is sufficient for catching roe deer, but for wild boars, it is necessary to use a steel wire snare
This is the depths of the Taihang Mountains, where there is an abundance of wildlife. Among the small animals, wild chickens and rabbits are the most common, while among the large animals, wild boars are the most prevalent, to the extent that they can be said to be in overabundance
At last, Gaoyuan has truly struck his prey for the first time.
Gao Yuan raised half of a long spear, and the person being pointed at by Gao Yuan with the spear immediately raised a kitchen knife upon noticing him
In stock!
The current situation is that a wire snare meant for dealing with roe deer has ensnared a wild boar that poses a significant threat. What could be the consequences? It is that the wild boar could break the snare!
The wild chicken that had been struck was still alive and struggling. Gao Yuan ran over and stepped on the wild chicken with one foot, then bent down to grab its head. As the wild chicken flapped vigorously, he flicked his wrist, causing the chicken to spin in the air. Consequently, the wild chicken, with its neck twisted, immediately ceased its struggle
For the past two months, Gao Yuan has been observing the spacecraft in the sky every day, but the duration of his gaze at the alien spacecraft has been gradually decreasing
Gao Yuan thought to himself that after more than half an hour had passed, he realized that today was indeed a fortunate day
If stones could be thrown quickly and accurately, they could be used to hit small animals such as wild chickens and hares. Primitive people did this, and now Gao Yuan also intends to do the same.
Why
To check all the snares set requires traveling a considerable distance, and it also necessitates climbing up and down in the forest without any paths. At the beginning, this caused Gao Yuan a great deal of suffering, but he has a strong ability to adapt. By now, he no longer feels too much pain from the long trek.
The injured wild boar raised its head and charged towards Gao Yuan's thigh, and Gao Yuan had no time to make any evasive movements; he was knocked down to the side with a twist of his body
There is indeed a distinction, and not only is there a distinction, but the difference is significant
Pick up a stone, swing your arm with force, and throw the stone at a target ten meters away. The target, the size of a ping pong ball, falls as the stone strikes, while the stone lands on the mound of earth behind the target, making almost no sound
Gao Yuan felt a moment of regret as he looked at the bloodstains on the ground. Reflecting on the position and force of his previous thrust, he concluded that he should pursue further.
Some are unafraid, but what Gao Yuan fears is that people will turn into zombies
Now, knowing that one is not the last human being in this world is certainly a reason for joy. Everyone facing a situation similar to that of Gao Yuan would feel happy, for this is human nature
Gao Yuan was somewhat surprised to see the wild boar, as the trap he had set was intended for roe deer. However, what he found in the snare was a wild boar, which, although not very large, still weighed over 100 jin.
The spear was still aimed at the wild boar. Before Gao Yuan could retract the spear, the wild boar suddenly charged at him with a headbutt. At that moment, Gao Yuan was still gripping his spear tightly. Under the combined force of the two opposing powers, the spear shaft snapped with a loud crack, breaking into two pieces
He picked up a stone again and threw it with force. This time, the stone did not hit the target, but it passed closely by, and this level of precision left Gao Yuan somewhat satisfied
