Chapter 12 The duel between the girl and the beast

Banxia looked up at the surrounding environment. She was surrounded by buildings and lush vegetation.

Building 15 is on the left, and Building 17 is on the right. A small road passes between the two buildings. There are dense shrubs on both sides of the asphalt road, which is airtight. There is an almost sticky plant smell in the air.

Plants also breathe, with photosynthesis and respiration. They are slow, weak, and imperceptible. But when you are in a world surrounded by plants, stuck together, and lush and wild, you will be surprised to find that they merge into a huge one.

A living body, this living body has billions of pores all over its body, and every pore is breathing. Every deep breath of the slime-like green creature that is so huge that the girl can't see the edge takes a long and endless breath.

Banxia stood at the position where she had just bent the tree trunk and dropped it, squatted down and picked up the wrench, put a wooden hook upside down on the soil, drove it vertically into the ground, and knocked hard until it was only on the ground.

Expose the depth of the hook.

Then hold it tightly with both hands and pull it up hard until your face is red and you can't pull it out anymore. Only then do you confirm that the nail is firmly in place and the trigger part is ready.

This is the fixed hook, responsible for maintaining the stationary and stable mechanism.

The second hook is a movable hook, responsible for triggering the mechanism.

Banxia took out the second wooden hook, used a chisel to cut two holes at the end of the movable hook, and inserted two nylon ropes into them respectively.

The two ropes are of different lengths, one is half a meter long and the other is two meters long. The functions of the two ropes are different. The short nylon rope will be tied to the top of the tree later. It is responsible for pulling the curved trunk to the top.

On the ground, another long one needs to be extended to create a rope loop, which is responsible for catching prey.

The girl climbed up the tree again and bent the trunk. She lay on the bent oak tree and tied the nylon rope with the hook to the top of the trunk. She tied a strong knot so that the hook was hung on the top of the tree.

After doing this, Banxia tried his best to stretch his arm and hook the hook to the fixed hook on the ground.

The grooves of the two wooden hooks fit into each other, and the curved oak tree is fixed.

The girl carefully released her arm that was pressing on the tree trunk. The oak tree trunk slowly rebounded until the nylon rope was stretched straight and stopped moving. At this moment, the huge elastic force competed with the fixed hook driven into the ground in the vertical direction.

, the two hooks were in tug-of-war, achieving balance, and the entire trap mechanism remained motionless in an n-shape.

The first nylon rope is tied.

Next is the second nylon rope.

The second nylon rope was also tied to the movable hook. The girl stepped backwards and gently lengthened it, placed it five or six steps away, and tied a slip-knot loop with a diameter of thirty to forty centimeters.

The rope loop was placed flat on the grass. Banxia found some small tree branches, inserted them into the soil, and raised the rope loop in the air, about twenty or thirty centimeters above the ground.

At this point, the trap setting is complete.

This is a simple rope trap. The working principle is obvious. The curved trunk provides elasticity. It is firmly pulled on the ground by the hook. If you don't touch it, it will remain stable, but if an animal steps into the rope loop, it will remain stable.

If the animal is trapped by the gathered rope, it will inevitably pull the hook horizontally when it struggles to escape. The two hooks can remain stable in the vertical direction, but they will decouple once pulled horizontally.

Once the hook is unhooked, the tree trunk that has accumulated huge elastic potential energy will be suddenly released, and the tree trunk will immediately bounce back, and at the same time, the rope will be pulled to hoist the prey into the air.

It's like an ancient elastic trebuchet.

The principle is simple, but very effective.

The teacher once said that in the post-apocalyptic era, the most basic rule of survival is to lie flat. The less you have to worry about, the longer you will live.

You can carry pistols and bows, but they cannot be your main means of hunting. Animals are very dangerous, whether they are predators or herbivores, they are dangerous to humans, so try to avoid direct conflicts with them.

, use dirty tricks if you can, use traps if you can use traps.

The girl took a long breath and stood on the grass to stretch her sore wrists.

The rope loop is still empty for the time being, and some bait will have to be placed in the center of the rope loop. Banxia estimates that the uninvited guest is a fierce predator, so the bait should be meat.

Meat alone is not enough.

To be on the safe side, rat poison must be added to the bait.

If he caught a leopard or even a brown bear, Banxia was not sure whether this simple trap could restrain such a huge and powerful creature, so he mixed some poison into the bait.

Just using traps is not enough, you also need to use medicine!

Poison them!

Unfortunately, the rat poison has not been delivered yet. Banxia told bg4mxh three or four days ago that she needed rat poison, but she didn't know what went wrong and the time capsule was never delivered to her.

The night before yesterday, he asked himself to go to the gate of the community and smash the wall, saying that the time capsule was hidden inside.

I spent the whole afternoon smashing it yesterday, but I couldn't break it open.

Solid cement is so strong that trying to open it requires heavy machinery or explosives to blast it.

Banxia only had a pitiful engineering shovel in her hand. No matter how she dug, she could only leave a few white marks. She was sore all over from digging, but the cement wall still stood firm.

There was really nothing she could do about it.

"This is outrageous."

the girl said.

"This is outrageous!"

The girl yelled at the cement wall.

Pinellia ternata picked up dead leaves and weeds and gently covered the trap mechanism and nylon rope until they merged into one. This was a necessary concealment measure. The bright rope loop can easily arouse the alertness of animals.

After doing all this, she walked around the trap a few times to make sure that the rope loop could not be seen from all angles.

The girl resisted the idea of ​​stepping into the rope loop and trying it.

Humans are such strange creatures. They always like to test themselves on the verge of death. If you draw a circle on the ground, there is a 100% chance that someone will step in it. If you don’t step on it, you will feel uncomfortable all over. Banxia should get rid of this dangerous idea in his mind.

As soon as the mechanism was triggered, she would be hung from the tree, and no one here could help her.

Banxia packed up and left the scene, erasing the traces of her actions.

It's okay to leave the trap here, come back when the bait is ready.

She is going to prepare the next trap.

One trap is not enough, so several must be set up. If resources were not limited, Banxia would even want to place bear traps all over the Plum Blossom Villa.

Banxia is planning to set up four traps at different locations within the Meihua Villa community. She doesn't believe she can't catch the uninvited guest. This is human wisdom. Even if she is the last human being in the world, she can't let those beasts look down upon her.

This is a showdown between girl and beast.

She put on her backpack and bow and arrow and walked back along the asphalt road. She had to urge bg4mxh tonight to deliver the rat poison quickly. Of course, this time, don't seal it in cement.

The howling draft blew in the alleyway between the two buildings. Suddenly all the vegetation swayed with the wind, undulating like waves. Banxia suddenly stopped and turned around to look around suspiciously.

Looking around, it's lush and green.

Banxia frowned.

Is it an illusion?

Is it because we are all under attack?
