Zhao Qian simply replenished his energy and avoided the hottest part of the day at noon. When the sun was no longer so harsh in the afternoon, he continued to look for food.
Although the inner core of palm trees can solve hunger, this is only temporary. If humans do not eat meat for a long time, they will lack protein, which will make people weak and bloated.
Once this happens, it will undoubtedly be catastrophic, so his afternoon task must be to get something that can supplement protein.
"Don't forget the mission I gave you."
Zhao Qian was worried that Wang Qianqian would not take the task seriously, so he reminded her again before leaving.
"knew!"
Wang Qianqian pouted, with a resentful expression on her face, and murmured in a low voice: "We are really not a man. We are two women. One is injured and the other has just woken up from hell. How can he bear to let us work?"
Zhao Qian naturally heard Wang Qianqian's complaints, but he did not pay attention to this pampered star.
In the current situation, survival is the most important thing. As for whether his actions were inappropriate or not, it is no longer that important.
After all, if they don't survive, when they are discovered in the future, they will only be three withered bones, and no one will care whether they were male or female.
After Zhao Qian left the camp, he entered the forest again...
He first went to see the traps he had set, and after checking them all, he found that not to mention there was no prey, and even the traps had not been triggered.
In desperation, he had to make his own backup plan, find branches and rattan, and weave fishing tools.
Compared with other wilderness environments, one of the benefits of a desert island is that it is easier to obtain food.
Soon, Zhao Qian found some branches and rattan, which were the basic materials for making fishing tools. With these things, all he had to do next was weaving.
Weaving fishing tools is not a simple task. First, you must conceive the structure of the tool in your mind, and secondly, you must have some weaving skills.
Fortunately, Zhao Qian, as a wilderness survival enthusiast, possesses both of these qualities.
"Just follow the structure of the ground cage and weave a tool!"
Zhao Qian drew a simple structural diagram on the ground, and then began to weave it step by step.
The underground cage structure is very suitable for fishing. It consists of a channel similar to a funnel and a tight cage. The entrance of the channel is large, but the exit is very narrow. Once fish, shrimp or crabs enter, it is basically impossible to get out.
The whole weaving process was very troublesome. Even if Zhao Qian had the knowledge, it would still take him several hours to weave the fishing tools.
Gululu...
As soon as he finished weaving the fishing tools, Zhao Qian's stomach growled.
"It's been two days. I've barely eaten anything except the core of the palm tree. I'm so hungry." Zhao Qian rubbed his stomach and said with a wry smile.
He understood that if he didn't eat something, his physical strength would drop significantly and survival would become even more difficult.
He continued: "Although the fishing tools have been woven, it is getting dark, so we can only go fishing tomorrow. The most important thing now is to replenish our physical strength."
"First check to see if any prey has been caught in the trap set. If there is no prey yet, we can only use the inner core of the palm tree as food."
Thinking about it, he threw the woven fishing tools on the ground and went to check the trap he had set.
First, there is no prey.
Second, there is no prey.
The third one, there is still no prey.
He laid a total of four traps. After checking the first three traps, he found nothing.
Just when he reached the fourth trap without any hope, he suddenly heard a "squeak" sound in his ears.
"There is prey!"
The frustration on Zhao Qian's face was wiped away, and he quickly walked forward to check, and saw a gray figure caught in the trap he had set.
This was a mouse more than ten centimeters long. Perhaps it felt threatened by Zhao Qian's arrival. It kept making "squeaking" sounds and struggled wildly.
However, its strength is too small and it is impossible to break free.
"Hey, don't be afraid, I will eat you tonight."
Zhao Qian laughed like a fool, and then stepped on the mouse, knocking it out.
The reason why he didn't scratch it directly was because he was worried that the rat would bite him if it resisted. He couldn't guarantee whether there was any virus on the rat, so the safest way was to step on it with his feet.
Zhao Qian picked up the mouse, weighed it, and sighed: "This is too small. Let alone three of us, even if it's just me, it's not enough to eat."
With its internal organs and fur removed, the amount of food that this mouse can eat is not as much as a chicken drumstick. It is impossible to rely on this mouse to fill its stomach.
"While it's not completely dark yet, let's collect some more palm tree cores!" Zhao Qian said, heading towards the area where the palm trees were.
However, when he was halfway through the journey, he saw a fallen dead tree. He froze on the spot for a few seconds, and his eyes flashed.
To other people, this dead tree is just a dead tree, but to him, this dead tree is a rich source of protein.
Thinking of this, he picked up a stone from the ground, walked quickly to the dead tree, and smashed it down hard.
With a clang, the rotten skin of the dead tree was smashed off.
Zhao Qian quickly reached out to touch it. After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and there was a blasting insect in his hand.
Blast bug is not a scientific name. The reason why this bug is famous is because Mr. Pei ate this bug alive during a show.
The famous scene at that time was the moment when the blasting bug was bitten by Mr. Pei, and the bug's internal organs exploded out.
In fact, blasting insects are the larvae of beetles, so they are fine to eat, and they are rich in protein, making them a very good food in the wild.
I think back then, he bought this kind of bug specifically to train his ability to survive in the wild.
Of course, he didn't eat it raw, but cleaned it and fried it.
It's crispy and tastes very good.
Gululu...
When he thought of this, his stomach growled again, and looking at the plump, white, and writhing Explosive Worm in his hand, he suddenly felt the urge to eat it.
However, when the blasting bug was about to enter his mouth, he stopped again and said with self-blame: "Why am I so selfish? Good things must be shared by everyone. I can't eat alone."
With that said, he put away the blasting insects he just had and continued to search for other blasting insects on the dead trees.
Perhaps because there was no human intervention, there were a lot of blasting insects on the dead trees. In a short time, he dug out dozens of blasting insects.
Zhao Qian looked at the dozens of blasting insects and couldn't help but smile. He felt that there would be a sumptuous dinner tonight.
