The first point is to keep your hands steady.

Banxia took a deep breath, pushed the bow with her left hand, and pulled the string with her right hand. As the oak bow arm bent slightly, the longbow was stretched to an arm and a half tension, and then stopped. There was a huge amount of energy stored in the tight bow arm and bow string.

The elastic potential energy formed a fragile balance with the girl's arms and shoulders, which was about to break out.

Banxia's eyes followed the arrow shaft and fell into the grass across the road. She heard something moving in the grass, a high-pitched barking like a dog.

That's a muntjac.

The muntjac is very common in Nanjing. It is a small deer that is often active at night and occasionally appears during the day. Compared with the huge red deer, the muntjak is much easier to hunt.

This is a good source of meat.

The three virtues of a muntjak are that it is light in body and tender in flesh and will fall down in one shot.

Banxia used her index finger and middle finger to hook the bow string, and the tight bow string was stuck in the groove of the arrow tail. Her left shoulder faced forward, her right shoulder faced back, and her legs were slightly separated. The teacher once taught her the essentials of archery, and her body should be quiet and calm.

Not stiff, stable but not hard, with shoulders stretched, there is no doubt that Banxia is a good student. Her archery level is now the best in the world.

The girl was at least twenty meters away from the prey. She knew how to hide her whereabouts and scent. The muntjak was a very timid animal and would immediately run away at the slightest sign of trouble, so Banxia hid behind a big tree.

, the wildly growing weeds can reach the girl's waist, the breeze blows from the front, and this is the downwind, so the prey cannot smell her scent.

The second point is that your hands still need to be steady.

The green bush began to rustle, and the girl held her breath. She saw a pair of erect brown-yellow ears emerging from among the lush green leaves.

Then its forehead was also exposed. There was a black "V" pattern on the fur on the forehead, and there were two dark eyes. Banxia recognized that it was a female barking deer, because the top of the male's head

There are sharp corners on it.

The third point is that your hands must be steady.

There is only one chance.

An arrow that leaves the string cannot be turned back. If it misses, it will scare the snake. For such a vigilant creature, if the first arrow misses, there will be no chance of shooting the second one.

It burrowed into the lush and lush meadow, and even the gods couldn't find it.

In the tenth year since humans disappeared, cities have turned into natural landscapes growing out of the land. The erosion ability of nature is far more powerful than anyone imagined. In just ten years, human buildings can turn into animals.

Natural settlements. For the creatures born in this era, cities are part of the natural world. They are just special landforms like forests, deserts, mountains and plains.

Fifteen years after the disappearance of human beings, the city is already one of the areas with the highest species diversity in the biosphere. The slower the power, the stronger it is. Germinating seeds can crack concrete, and any place where sunlight falls into rain will be destroyed by the vitality.

Tough weeds quickly take over, and then small rodents will get in, and rodent-eating predators will follow. The high-rise buildings built by humans provide animals with an unprecedented three-dimensional living space.

They quickly adapted to the environment. Leopards, cats that are good at climbing, learned to set up ambushes on high-rise buildings or viaducts. They are cruel and smart predators that once brought great trouble to Pinellia ternata.

This is a wild world after all.

In the food chain, all living things play no more than two roles, either as prey or as hunters. Nature is cruel and bloody. In the most developed era of human civilization, people often ignored this because humans were separated from prey.

They have been here for too long, and they have not seen the bloody remains of the same kind that were eaten for a long time.

Banxia took aim.

If the arrow falls, the female muntjac will die.

After killing the prey, Banxia will process it on the spot, peel off the fur, remove the internal organs, and then cut a few pieces of the best meat from the back or thighs to take away. She will not take the whole prey back, that would be very troublesome.

Because the remaining viscera and fur have to be transported to a far away place and discarded, so as not to attract some ferocious scavengers.

For safety reasons, Pinellia never hunts within a three-kilometer radius of its residence.

Suddenly the bushes began to rustle again.

Banxia was startled.

She heard the second muntjac's voice, which was smaller and weaker.

Soon a small deer head emerged from the grass. It had soft yellow fur, straight ears, big black eyes, and two small bumps on the top of its head. It was not even bigger than the previous one.

It is half the size of a male muntjac and may be a small male muntjac that has not yet grown up.

This is a female barking deer with cubs.

Banxia opened her bow and aimed the arrow at the smaller one.

The smaller ones taste better and the meat is more tender.

He killed it and took it back to roast it. He hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time, and he was greedy just thinking about it. Banxia loosened his fingers and the bowstring suddenly rebounded.

With the sound of breaking through the air, the sharp arrow left the string, crossed a distance of twenty meters with lightning speed, and nailed the young barker at the feet.

Everyone, big and small, was dumbfounded. They turned to stare at the wooden arrows nailed into the grass. The air was silent for a second, and then their bodies jumped up like springs. They panicked and ran away, disappearing into the grass.

.

Banxia stood on tiptoes, pulled the straps of her backpack, raised her hands to build an awning, and watched the birds startling in the distance for a moment.

Running so fast.

The girl walked over slowly, pulled out the arrows on the ground, and stuffed them into the quiver on her back.

"My hand is raw." Banxia scratched her head, "It's so unlucky that all the flesh on my mouth flew off."

She thought that she should practice her archery accuracy when she went back.

That's all, if you can't hit it, then you can't hit it. Banxia stretched her waist and said, "There is a time in life, but there is no time in life. Don't force it-!"

He took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time. It was three-thirty in the afternoon.

Today's hunting is over, it's time to see if the traps and traps set have yielded any results.

The girl emerged from the grass, returned to the wide road, took off her long-sleeved coat, put it on her shoulders, and wiped the sweat from her face and neck.

In this scorching weather, you have to wear a long coat, which is really torture.

But it's no good if you don't wear any clothes. There's everything in the grass, including terrible chili peppers and even more terrible leeches. Just a touch of these things on your skin is enough to hurt your skin.

The teacher said that chinchillas are green moth larvae. These ghosts can occasionally be seen under the leaves of sycamore trees. There are several of them under the shady leaves. They are all green and covered with thorns. They are in clusters. Pinellia ternata is not afraid of caterpillars.

, but I hate this thing very much. The exposed skin will be red and swollen when touched. It hurts so much that it makes people want to chop their hands. It is hard to say which one is more painful than the sting of the cryptid.

Dry leeches are not common at ordinary times, but they will suddenly appear after rain. It is not known where they emerge from in Pinellia ternata. These things hang on the leaves in strips, and when animals pass by, they will jump up to suck blood.

Stockings, an important stocking material for doomsday survival, should be worn on the head and hands when drilling in the meadow.

At six o'clock that afternoon.

The black moon is about to rise, and it’s time to go back to Pinellia.

She looked around at all the traps and animal traps she had set, but found nothing as expected.

It seems that I didn't catch anything today, so let's continue hunting tomorrow.

Banxia stepped into the gate of Meihua Villa, carrying a backpack and a bow and arrow, humming old songs, and walked on the path in the community.

The girl suddenly felt terrified.

After a pause, she almost without thinking, pulled out her pistol and turned around to aim.

She felt it again.

Something is staring at me.

The eyes were crazy and bloody, like sharp cracked canine teeth. Banxia intuitively thought it was a terrible predator, but she couldn't find where the thing was. Her eyes swept across the lush shrubs and grass under the night.

There was no movement.

Banxia held her breath and kept calm, slowly retreating step by step, and retreated into the small door of the high-voltage power grid. She held the gun in one hand and pointed it forward, and closed the door of the power grid with the other hand.

She backed into the unit door and flipped the switch on the wall, causing sparks to fly.

After doing all this, the girl slowly sat down against the wall, panting heavily. She touched her clothes and was covered in cold sweat.
