Classic revival of infinite games

Chapter 3 1.2 Ancient Aborigines

It seems that there is a huge creature walking towards this side.

Ye Man found a hollow tree trunk and hid in the hole.

The tremors of the earth became louder and louder, and she hid in the tree trunk and remained motionless.

As the earth trembled, some white mollusk larvae fell from the tree trunk, and landed on her body and on top of her head.

If they were straight, about the length of a hand and the thickness of a thumb, they writhed wildly on her body.

The tremors on the ground were getting bigger and bigger, until when it was approaching, the giant beast outside suddenly stopped.

Ye Man could clearly hear its huge snort, with a distant and long voice.

"Shua, shu, shu", the branches and leaves rattled like a hurricane passing through, mixed with the sound of branches breaking.

Then she heard some crackling and grinding sounds.

The fat larva slowly crawled up her arms and neck, and chrysalised into her cuffs and neckline.

She gritted her teeth and held back, not moving or making a sound.

There were overwhelming sounds of rubbing and chewing leaves, and she also heard its weird and long swallowing sound.

About ten minutes later, the ground trembled again.The giant beast's footsteps gradually drifted away.

After Ye Man confirmed that the giant beast was far away, he climbed out of the tree hole, jumped and shook his body, and shook the fat larvae on his body to the ground.

She took a deep breath to calm the panic of being attacked by the giant beast and the nausea of ​​living with the wriggling larvae.

In the next second, she picked up nearly ten larvae one by one without hesitation, and put them into a small zippered side pocket of the backpack.

She intends to eat them at night.

From a very young age, Ye Man got used to suppressing her emotions with rationality, and she kept this habit all the time.

She was not indifferent to wriggling maggots, as most were.But she habitually suppressed her emotions and forced herself to think——

Although she still has enough food on her body and hasn't felt any obvious hunger yet, the rescue team will arrive soon, and the hot weather will accelerate the deterioration of the food in Kaifeng, and the partner she is looking for may not have food.Therefore, she didn't intend to be the first to easily consume precious supplies like compressed biscuits.

In the wild, the most readily available food is insect larvae.They are at the bottom of the food chain, rich in protein, and compared to other species, their variation over hundreds of millions of years is not that great, and they are currently the safest food she can get.

After loading the worms, Ye Man stepped forward to check the footprints left by the giant beast on the soil layer.

She found several complete giant footprints, the front soles of which were larger than the footprints of African elephants, and the hind soles were even larger.Five toes, all feet on the ground, crawling on all fours.

Ye Man habitually took out his mobile phone to take pictures and records, and suddenly realized that the unlocked page only had two apps, that is, there were no app buttons for taking photos and cameras.

Paradoxically, however, the phone itself has four rear cameras of various sizes and a front camera.

"It seems that some functions are deliberately blocked by the system." Ye Man thought to himself.

There is a camera, which means that the phone itself has a camera function. Ye Man decided to check the phone carefully.

She returned to the lock screen interface, looked carefully, and was pleasantly surprised to find a small camera icon in the lower right corner.After swiping from here, I came to the photo page smoothly.

However, this joy did not last long.

She found that although the video and camera content can be used, but the photos cannot be stored, she can only view her latest photo or video forever, and if multiple photos are taken, the previous ones will be overwritten by new ones.

That said, the camera cannot be used as a long-term recording tool.

So she decisively put away her phone and took out her pencil.

After all, her original owner didn't even bring a notebook when he came for a scientific investigation.

Ye Man directly tore off a blank title page interval page from the "Illustrated Handbook of the History of Reptiles", traced the footprints on it, and marked a few features on the side, and then clipped it back into the book.

"The next task is to find seats and water sources." Ye Man reminded himself.

The seat is the key item to determine when they can be rescued, and the water source is the necessary item for Ye Man to survive in the short term.

It had to be the original owner who came all the way to the ancient times to investigate, but there was no kettle and water in the bag.

Regarding the seat, Ye Man already has a little idea.She took the crumpled parachute out of her backpack and examined it carefully.

The harness attached to the parachute has a tiny black and white screen, like the LCD screens of some early digital watches.It shows only two separated numbers - 3557 / 2891.

She walked a distance in one direction, and the number on the display suddenly jumped——3558/2890.
She walked another distance in the opposite direction, and when she got to the original position, the display jumped back to the original number.

Continue to walk, the display screen becomes 3556/2892.

She tried it again in different directions.The answer becomes clear - it's a coordinate system.Not surprisingly, Ye Man speculated that it should be the coordinates pointing to the seat, and her ultimate goal is to make these two numbers into 0/0.

Ye Man was not surprised by the appearance of this coordinate.

In an emergency landing, the parachute is limited in size.In order to reduce the weight of the falling body as much as possible, the seat will be detached from the human body, allowing the human to survive.

But the distress device is on the seat again, so as the designer of the emergency system, it is reasonable to design a set of ways for the distressed person who can land safely to find the seat.

With the coordinates of the seat, everything is easy to handle.

She is not in a hurry to find the coordinates at the moment—if the coordinates are in meters, it means that even if it is a straight line in the air, she needs to walk nearly 5000 meters to find the seat.

And her watch was showing six in the afternoon.

She doesn't have enough time and energy to walk 5000 meters.

She also doubted whether this time was accurate at first, but the slope of the sun seemed to confirm that this time was consistent with her watch.

"I need to find a place to spend the night." Ye Man said to himself.

After the behemoth passed, the environment returned to eerily quiet.Excessive quietness is depressing, and Ye Man releases the pressure through moderate self-talk.

She walked in the direction of the coordinates, ready to stop when she saw a suitable place on the road, and continue to move towards the coordinates the next day.

Along the way, she continued to scatter the small gravels she picked up before, and then picked up new gravels and continued to scatter them along the way.

This is the way Hansel recorded his walking route in the fairy tale "Candy House", so that he and his sister can walk home.

Then at intervals, Ye Man would use a knife to prominently engrave "ym2" and "ym3" on the stone wall...so as to leave a trail of travel.

She hopes to leave as many obvious human traces as possible, so that another companion of hers can see her track and find her.

After all, if the other companion is Dike who invited her into the game, as she expected, that guy is a sports girl, and it will definitely be faster for her to find her.

And even if they failed to reunite smoothly, Ye Man believed that in the first few days, Di Ke would be able to survive smoothly with her vigorous skills.

The sky gradually reflected the rosy sunset, and Ye Man finally saw a small stone cave.

She didn't enter rashly, but simply set a trap at the entrance of the cave with the rope in her backpack, and then threw a few stones into it.

Sure enough, several sharp roars came from inside the cave.

She hid behind a tree and saw a baby dinosaur and a miniature dinosaur running out.

That dinosaur was shorter than Ye Man, and that miniature dinosaur was even shorter.They quickly trip over the trap, then stand upright, then run forward, and then trip over again.

Ye Man: ...

How do these prehistoric animals feel unexpectedly easy to bully.

After falling down several times, the two dinosaurs jumped out of the knot.They turned their heads to look around in panic, and ran away from the grotto.

So before dark, Ye Man successfully snatched the territory of the aborigines and moved into the cave.

And in the cave, she found a surprise.
