Zhou Li'an looked at the time flow in the [system interface] in front of him.
Behind the translucent panel is the wilderness under the scorching sun.
Not long after he walked out of the forest behind him, his goal seemed to be right in front of him, but in fact he spent a week in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and he didn't know the exact distance.
This is America.
Oh, no.
This place today does not belong to any country, it belongs to the indigenous people.
Even today's indigenous people are not called Indians.
There were still 92 years until Columbus explored a new sea route to find China and India, accidentally discovered America, and mistook the Native Americans for Indians.
It would still be 126 years before the Spanish expedition of 500 people failed miserably to establish a colony for the first time, and the old troops who betrayed Magellan safely arrived in the United States.
Therefore, Zhou Li'an felt that the time was still long and he had enough time to do something.
He hasn't decided yet what to do specifically.
Because the system is still a [trial version].
If you want the official version, you have to spend money to recharge.
After getting the system a week ago, he officially traveled from modern times to North America in 1400.
[Trial version system] Without a map, he can only explore according to the compass he carries, and return to the living world many times to check the map to determine his current position——
The southwestern Oregon border meets the California border.
Next, if he follows the road sign of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and continues south, Zhou Li'an believes that he will definitely reach San Francisco, California.
There is gold there, a lot of gold, and it is nugget gold and placer gold that does not require deep industrial mining.
Only by doing good things can you make money.
But the basis for doing big things is to have a lot of money first.
System time is three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhou Li'an was tired. He was not a professional explorer, he was just a resident who spent 48 hours in the inpatient department. His physical strength was barely enough, but that was in the environment of the hospital with constant air conditioning and wearing soft Crocs.
At this point, I was exhausted.
What I was thinking about was a plate of extra-large deluxe tacos from Lao Mo Fast Food Restaurant, and an ice Coke stuffed with ice cubes that made my teeth tremble.
Just when I was about to call the system to leave, something strange suddenly occurred...
From the hills not far away, there was clearly a roar and a heavy sound of stepping on the ground.
The roar was the first time Zhou Li'an heard it, which represented the human voice.
And the latter...
He'd seen it all on his thru-hiking trip this week.
The number of bison in North America before the 19th century was astonishing. He encountered the herds many times and stayed away from them. Although he carried a pistol before crossing, a bullet might not kill the bison. Instead, it would kill the bison after it provoked them to go crazy.
His little life.
The system interface is opened.
He can leave here with just one thought.
But Zhou Li'an did not leave in a hurry, but quickly rushed towards the distant hills.
It only takes a moment to go back.
If the situation is not right, he will run away again, and he does not want to miss the opportunity to meet the ancients from 600 years ago for the first time.
The screams could be heard with strong anger, but as he got closer, the sound became smaller and smaller, and the sound of the bison's stampede also gradually faded away.
After climbing the hillside, he lay down on the ground, took out his pistol and turned on the safety.
While he was vigilantly checking the surroundings, he was thinking about how to deal with the injury as soon as he got back if he was shot by the aboriginal bow and arrow... If it was a flying axe, well, he should be able to dodge it.
He crawled forward, reached the commanding heights, and looked down.
The figures of the bison herd have gone away, raising a cloud of dust.
And just at the foot of the hillside, there were bloodstains and messes everywhere. Several indigenous people were trampled into pulp, and a bison fell in a pool of blood. The indigenous people had no sound, and the bison's body was still twitching and struggling before death.
Zhou Li'an's eyes now look like he went to the zoo for the first time as a child and saw rare animals. Blood and other things have long been accustomed to him in the hospital.
Mainly...
These are ancients, living ancients.
Zhou Li'an's excitement all comes from curiosity, and he is very calm about death.
There was another whimpering sound.
He soon discovered the survivors, thin boys and girls, holding an equally thin adult.
"...%￥#wuwu."
"%*&%%......"
Zhou Li'an: "..." It's very confusing.
A mean voice came from my mind: [Do you need to activate the official version of the system? Just 998, take it home happily!]
"Can't you open up some functions for me to use first?"
System: [Dear, activating the official version comes with a full set of language packs. You must know that the current North American continent contains 4,000 languages. If you buy it, you will earn money. The system will load and you will have no worries in one second. ]
This 998 is not very serious, the system charges 998k, US dollars.
A whole million, for a two-year resident doctor, are you kidding me?
Zhou Li'an was too lazy to pay attention to him, but focused on the bottom of the hillside. He shouted: "The king of heaven covers the tiger of the earth!"
It's useless to say anything.
The main thing is to make a noise and attract attention.
If communication can really be achieved... it is just divine communication.
It is unrealistic to use modern people's way of thinking to play with the ancients and guess what they are doing.
It all depends on luck.
Even if you don't succeed this time, you can at least be sure that there are tribal strongholds around, and you will have a new target next time you come back.
The boys and girls discovered Zhou Li'an, but were stunned.
Instead, the man in their arms actually pulled his son away, threw him to the ground, and fell to the ground to pull up a long bow.
He's aiming...
Whoosh.
After a second of hesitation, he still chose to shoot the arrow.
But when Zhou Li'an saw him making some moves, he was already lying on the ground again.
He could clearly feel the coldness of the arrow feathers passing through the air above his body.
I was a little panicked, but I still muttered: "Indians...oh, no, the natives are very good at shooting."
Regarding information about aboriginal people, Zhou Li'an only started to supplement it after getting the system. Before that, he had little knowledge of the natural environment in the United States, even though he had been studying and working abroad for six years.
Just because of the particularity of American history...
Many things were later brought over by European colonists.
For example, there are no horses here.
Today's aborigines are not the last powerful tribe in the world.
Indians can use spears, bows and arrows. They migrated from Eurasia more than 10,000 years ago, so it is normal for them to be good at shooting.
Spearheads and arrowheads are mostly sharp stone tools that have been polished. Only a small number of tribes have a very small amount of iron tools. Their smelting skills are very crude. Today they only use copper and silver as accessories. This is the overdevelopment of the Stone Age.
stage.
Maybe give them another three to four hundred years... Well, it seems difficult to change the outcome. The diseases brought by European colonists and guns are invincible.
It is difficult for tribes that are scattered and full of mutual hatred to share the same hatred and deal with the outside world. They lack cultural cohesion and a great man who shines like a morning star to lead them.
So even though there were brave and capable Apaches, Sioux, and smart and agile Navajo, they were eventually forced to move to reservations. They were never unified.
After the arrow passed, Zhou Li'an quickly raised his head to confirm the situation. His observation just now was very detailed. The man's abdominal cavity should have been damaged, and the blood was flowing everywhere. It was very difficult to shoot a high-quality arrow.
Sure enough, when he looked up, the man had fainted.
The boys and girls stared at him in confusion and terror, guarding against him.
They don’t even know how to pick up a man’s bow and arrow…
Maybe it proves that they still don’t know how to use it?
Zhou Li'an thought for a moment and raised his hands to indicate that he was harmless, but he didn't know whether they understood the gesture of surrender.
What type of communication knows no boundaries?
Zhou Li'an could only sing with a soft voice——
【Me and...my motherland】
【Cannot be divided for a moment】
【No matter where I go】
【Everyone sings a hymn】
While singing, he slowly stood up and showed a warm smile.
This song is obviously friendly and full of positive energy.
It’s 10,000 times more lovable than the Nigs of later generations who are full of Fake music.
However……
Whoosh!
The girl clenched her yellow teeth, suddenly pulled out the thing from her lower back, and threw it hard...
【I sing...
Damn it...throwing axe????]
A thought moved my mind.
Zhou Li'an almost felt a black shadow hit his forehead, but his whole body suddenly relaxed and felt like he was falling.
Bang.
He collapsed on the leather sofa in his apartment. When he saw everything familiar, he touched his innocent forehead and gasped...
