In doomsday survival, ropes are particularly important.

The teacher collected a lot of ropes and stored them in the building. She was a very far-sighted and foresighted person. When she was a child, Banxia didn't realize it. When she grew up, Banxia realized how powerful the teacher was. She found that the teacher had considered and arranged every point.

Well, in the most chaotic and difficult days, she dragged the young Banxia to collect supplies bit by bit, and built the 11 buildings of Meihua Villa into a strong fortress bit by bit.

In the end, she slept under the green grass downstairs. Although the girl was alone, she was still well protected.

Banxia put two bundles of green nylon ropes on both shoulders, one with an 8 mm diameter and the other with a diameter of 10 mm. They were both very strong, and then went downstairs.

Setting traps is also a science. Animals are smarter than humans think. Do not underestimate the wisdom of other creatures. This is one of the survival rules taught by the teacher.

Banxia didn't know what the uninvited guest who broke into Meihua Villa was. It might be a jackal, a leopard, or even a brown bear. Anyway, it was a very dangerous creature. Meihua Villa was not a very good habitat.

Since the teacher was still alive, they have regularly cleaned up the environment inside the community. Due to human activities, herbivores do not come close here, so large predators rarely come to the community.

Banxia still remembers the first time she noticed that thing. It was the last time she went fishing and was followed when she came home at night.

Did it invade the community that night?

Or was it already lurking here before that?

The west side of Meihua Villa is adjacent to the broad Alfalfa Street, the north side is Haiyue Garden Community, the south side is Houbiaoying Road, and the east side is the dormitory of the 28th Institute of China Electronics Technology, which means that its west and south sides are separated by the road, and its north side and

The east side is connected with other residential areas. In this era, residential areas have long been completely covered by vegetation, no different from jungles, so the dangerous creature may have come from the Purple Mountain in the northwest.

The girl was sitting on the steps on the first floor of Unit 11, humming a song leisurely, stretching her long legs together, holding a sharp dagger in one hand and a small log in the other.

She is whittling wood.

Banxia pushed the back of the knife with the thumb of her left hand and chipped off the sawdust piece by piece. She was obviously a skilled carpenter who had done this job for a long time. She was carving out a square notch in this palm-long log.

This is the trigger for making a trap.

The teacher said that all traps can be simplified into three parts, namely power, traction and trigger.

The so-called trigger is the hub that keeps the trap balanced and stationary when there is no prey, and triggers the trap to start when there is prey. It is the core mechanism of the trap and is quite critical.

The most commonly used and simplest trigger is two pieces of hooks that can fit into each other, just like a person's two hands placed together with four fingers bent to hook each other. These two hooks can be made of wood.

Two pieces of wood of similar size are cut into hooks with a knife.

The girl spent more than half an hour digging out a square groove in the center of the two wooden blocks, making both of them concave. Then she tried to hook them together and pulled hard.

Very strong.

After polishing it a little more, I squinted my eyes and looked at the light.

The trigger is done!

One-third of the trap has been completed. Among the three major elements, the trigger needs to be made by yourself, and the traction relies on a strong nylon rope. The rope is responsible for connecting the various components of the trap and transmitting force.

Finally, there is motivation.

There is a natural source of power, and it is also the easiest to obtain, and that is trees.

Banxia wrapped herself tightly in a plastic raincoat, wearing a hood and gloves, and plastic rain boots on her feet. This was to prevent her own smell from remaining. Some animals have a very keen sense of smell. If there are human smells on the trap,

If you smell it, they will stay alert and not be fooled.

The girl got into the grass and lowered her head to look for traces of animal movements as she walked deeper.

There are mottled residential buildings on both sides, with green vines hanging from the roofs, covering the dark windows.

These high-rise buildings have been unoccupied for more than ten years. A building has been vacant for ten or twenty years in a normal society and an uninhabited environment. The final result is that there is no place in a completely different normal society that is both deserted and full of vitality.

, Chernobyl after evacuation may meet the previous condition, but Pripyat is located in northern Ukraine, above 50 degrees north latitude, with a dry and cold climate, and the Plum Blossom Villa in the doomsday era is even more

It's like parachuting a building into the middle of the Amazon rainforest, leaving it deserted and isolated from the rest of the world, and leaving it vacant for another twenty years.

Most of the buildings here are no longer habitable. The humid climate and erosion of plants have caused the exterior walls of the buildings to crack. Some residential buildings have been severely cracked, with deep cracks visible to the naked eye running through them.

The girl emerged from the grass and stepped onto the road.

Except for the asphalt paved road, the rest of the community is filled with dense and wild weeds.

The green belt of the community in the past is now lush vegetation, not only grass, but also shrubs, vines, and newly grown trees. They are tightly intertwined, like a thick wall. Those old residential buildings

Located just behind the wall.

The better the greening, the faster the community will be swallowed up by nature. Only the hardened roads paved with floor tiles or asphalt are still resisting.

As long as they are not broken, plant seeds cannot germinate there. Without plants, it is not the boundary of nature. All the hardened roads in the world that are paved with floor tiles, asphalt, and do not grow weeds are the territory of pinellia. She

Be in harmony with nature.

The girl found a suitable tree.

It grows in the grass on the roadside. It may be a oak tree. It is almost as high as a story. The trunk is as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It grows straight and becomes thinner as it goes up.

As the source of power for traps, trees provide elasticity, or elastic potential energy. This is the easiest energy to obtain and the simplest way to utilize energy. Both trees and bamboos are suitable. They are found all over the world and can be bent to store energy.

, just be careful that the tree cannot be too thick or too thin. If it is too thick, it cannot be broken, and if it is too thin, it will break if it is broken.

Banxia threw her backpack on the ground, held the knife in her mouth, jumped up hard, clamped the trunk of the tree tightly with her legs, climbed up like a monkey, pulled out the knife and chopped off the extra branches one by one.

Fall off, leaving a main trunk in the middle.

She grabbed the tip of the top of the tree trunk again, jumped down lightly, pulled the top of the tree to the ground, and bent the tree with her own weight.

The new, water-rich oak tree is extremely elastic. The originally straight trunk was bent down by the girl and bent into an N-shape without breaking.

She let go of her hand, and the tree trunk suddenly bounced back.

Very good, very suitable.

Banxia clapped her hands, she was very satisfied, this tree was very suitable as a source of power for the trap.

She has to deal with the dangerous visitor.
