Developing the Northwest: I built a city in the Gobi Desert

"That is, apart from Zhu Qiang, Mike, Cody, and Josie, the Australian brothers are all making good progress, and they are not far behind Mr. Pei, Mr. De, and Mate."

"Yes, they are all very powerful, but I vote for Mr. Pei!"

"Hahaha, me too! Building a shelter is nothing, but storing food for the next 100 days is the big deal."

"Having said so much, you voted!"

"That's right, the shelter is nothing, the storage of food is the key."

"Now it seems that only Master Pei got a hedgehog and a few sand scorpions, and the other contestants got nothing."

"A hedgehog and a few sand scorpions are enough to maintain Mr. Pei's supplies for two days, which means that Mr. Pei no longer needs to look for food within two days!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Vote!"

"cast!"

In this way, amidst the quarrels, the number of votes for each contestant in the voting applet began to rise steadily.

The voting time is only two days, but in the first few minutes, it has actually stepped out of the general trend, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to change it later.

Mr. Pei, Mr. De, and Matt ranked in the top three with 300,000, 293,000, and 290,000 respectively. The number of votes was very close. From the side, it can also be reflected that the strength of these three people in the hearts of the audience is very high. almost.

Although De Ye and Matt have not received food yet,

But the small oasis lake where they are located has a large area. If you are lucky, there may be fish in it.

At that time, there will naturally be no shortage of food.

In the second echelon are the Australian brother, Ke Di, and Zhu Qiang.

Their votes are in the range of 50,000 to 60,000 to 100,000, which shows that there are still many viewers who are very optimistic about them. If they are lucky enough to capture large animals, they can persist until the end.

As for the third echelon?

No! To be precise, Xu Hao is not qualified to be called echelon at all.

Without it, the last place, Xu Hao, had less than a hundred votes, and this may be due to the mistakes of many viewers.

Because someone once complained about hand slipping in the comment area.

Perhaps it was because Xu Hao's votes were too far behind the previous contestants, Xu Hao was gradually forgotten in the corner in the following time, and no one paid any attention.

As everyone knows,

At this time, Xu Hao was completely stunned by the scene in front of him.

"This is okay?"

Looking at the three fat and fat jumping rabbits in the pit that were dead and about 40 centimeters in length, Xu Hao was more surprised than pleasantly surprised.

He started digging a well a few hours ago to secure his own water source!

Perhaps it is because the desertification of the challenge site has not been for a long time. The floating sand on the top is only a dozen centimeters, and the bottom is full of normal soil quality.

In addition, there is a "water hole" nearby, so it is very fast to dig,

In less than two hours, Xu Hao dug a large pit with a diameter of about one meter and a depth of about one meter.

It shows that if you hit it half a meter down, the water will come out.

However, he pushed down a few centimeters, until the bottom of the pit was covered with muddy mud, when Xu Hao stopped,

It's not that Xu Hao doesn't want to continue digging, but that he needs some wooden tools, such as wells and lower wells. Only the well dug in that way is strong enough, otherwise the sides of the well will collapse soon.

With this thought in mind, Xu Hao took an axe, a saw, a hammer, and a chisel to the forest that was almost completely dead.

As a senior carpenter, it is not too simple to get the well and go down the well.

However, from a distance, the forest is desolate, and when you get closer, it is even more desolate.

In addition to the dry and dead willows, Populus euphratica, and tamarisk on the ground, there are also large areas of reeds and weeds.

The nearly half-meter-high weeds were spread in a thick layer,

The breeze blows and sways with the wind, which is almost the same as the wheat waves in the dry field, and it has a special charm.

But Xu Hao didn't have the heart to appreciate the "beautiful scenery" at all

I picked a dry willow with a thick bowl mouth in the woods and started to make a willow.

This is almost two hours.

Although he ate very full last night, he couldn’t hold back that he hadn’t eaten this morning. In addition to the hot weather, when Xu Hao felt a little bit unbearable, he thought of going back to the well to eat some compressed biscuits to replenish energy and measure Look at the diameter of the well.

However, when I walked to the mouth of the well, I saw three dead big jumping rabbits inside.

How can you not be surprised?

Leaping rabbits, a kind of rodent, look like tiny kangaroos. They have great jumping ability and are huge in size. Especially the three in the pit feel like they weigh five or six catties each.

They feed on the roots of the Haloxylon tree, and they are also the natural enemies of the Haloxylon tree!

"How did they get in? Shouldn't they come out at night?"

Xu Hao couldn't help talking to himself.

However, looking up at the surrounding and a series of traces on the mound, it was immediately clear.

I was right. The three jumping rabbits should have been in the wild grass. They caught up with me to cut wood, and they were frightened by the noise.

Coincidentally, the three jumping rabbits ran over and plunged into the newly dug earth pit.

In addition, the bottom of the pit is now full of mud, so it's no wonder that he survived three struggles and two struggles!

"Is this considered compensation for me as a time traveler?"

After regaining his senses, Xu Hao directly jumped down from the pit and lifted the three jumping rabbits out.

When I first crossed over, I thought that I would be like the protagonists in those novels, that I would have cheats when I came here, but after waiting for two days, I found that there were no cheats.

Except that the memory is stronger than before, nothing else has changed.

Therefore, I have no idea about this challenge, and I don't even have any thoughts on how to get food after connecting.

In short, just take one step at a time, and give up when you really can't hold on anymore. I didn't expect God to favor him so much.

Three jumping rabbits can last at least five days, and the fur of jumping rabbits is also a good thing.

Most importantly,

Just now, three jumping rabbits were surprised in the outskirts of the woods, which means there must be more inside. As long as you set up a few traps, you may be able to catch a few more.

In Xu Hao's eyes, the jumping rabbit is as much as it can be destroyed, and he has no burden in his heart.

Without these jumping rabbits, the Haloxylon tree would not have died so quickly,

Maybe this sandy depression will not become what it is now.

"But these three jumping rabbits have to be dealt with as soon as possible!"

Looking up at the big sun in the sky, Xu Hao could only put aside the matter of the well.

Dead things in the desert will soon stink if they are not disposed of in time, not to mention eating or even causing pathogenic bacteria.

"Although there is no plastic wrap, we have the technology of smoking and roasting bacon!"

Throwing the jumping rabbit to the "foundation" of the future shelter, Xu Hao walked towards the woods again with the ax in hand.

The most effective way to prevent fresh meat is to smoke bacon,

At that time, hang the bacon in the shade of the shelter, let alone five days or five months, it will not necessarily spoil.

In addition, another advantage of smoked rabbit meat is that you can make yourself a "hot kang" by the way.

The place where the fire was burned was buried with sand, and people slept on the hot sand. Although it could not be compared with the challenger who had a shelter, it would definitely be no problem to improvise for a night.
