We Live In Nanjing

  Chapter 52 The Showdown between the Girl and the Beast

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

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

Plants can also breathe, have photosynthesis, and have respiration. They are slow, weak and imperceptible, but when you are in a world surrounded by plants, stuck together, and flourishing, you will be surprised that they merge into a huge The living body, this living body has hundreds of millions of pores all over the body, and every pore is breathing. The girl's eyes are so large that the slime mold-like green creature can't be seen every time it takes a deep breath, it grows endlessly.

Pinellia stood in the position where the tree trunk had just been bent and dropped, squatted down and picked up the wrench, put a wooden hook upside down on the soil, and drove it vertically into the ground. There was a violent knock until it was only on the ground. Expose the depth of the hook.

   Hold it tightly with both hands again, pull it up hard, pull it out until the face turns red and it can’t be pulled out, then confirm that it is nailed firmly, and part of the trigger is ready.

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

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

   Pinellia took out the second wooden hook, cut two holes at the end of the movable hook with a chisel, and threaded two nylon ropes 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, and it is responsible for pulling the curved trunk to On the ground, the other long one needs to be stretched out to make a rope loop, which is responsible for catching prey.

The girl climbed the tree again and bent the trunk. She lay on the bent oak tree, tied the nylon rope with the hook to the top of the trunk, and tied a firm knot so that the hook was hung on the top of the tree. To do this, Banxia tried to extend his arm and hook the hook to the fixed hook on the ground.

  The two wooden hook grooves fit each other, and the curved Sawtooth oak is fixed.

The girl cautiously loosened her arm that was pressing on the tree trunk, and the Sawtooth oak trunk rebounded slowly until the nylon rope was stretched and stopped moving. At this moment, the huge elastic force competed against the fixed hook that was driven into the ground in the vertical direction. , The two hooks were in a tug-of-war, and the balance was achieved, and the entire trap mechanism remained in an n-shape.

  The first nylon rope is fastened.

  Next is the second nylon rope.

  The second nylon rope was also tied to the movable hook. The girl retreated and stretched it gently, putting it five or six steps away, and hitting a loop of slipknot with a diameter of thirty or forty centimeters.

  The rope loop was placed flat on the grass, and Pinellia went to find a few small tree branches, inserted them in the soil, and supported the rope loop in the air, about 20 to 30 centimeters above the ground.

  At this point, the trap setting is complete.

This is a simple noose 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, If the animal is trapped by the rope loop, the animal will inevitably pull the hook horizontally when struggling to escape. The two hooks can remain stable in the vertical direction, but they will be unhooked when pulled horizontally.

When    is unhooked, the trunk that has accumulated huge elastic potential energy will be released suddenly, and the trunk will bounce back immediately, while pulling the rope to hang the prey in the air.

   is like an ancient catapult.

The principle of    is simple, but very effective.

Teacher    once said that in the post-apocalyptic era, the most basic rule of survival is to lie down and live longer with less toss.

You can bring a pistol and bow and arrow, but that can’t be your main hunting method. Animals are very dangerous. Both predators and herbivores are dangerous to humans, so try to avoid direct conflict with them. , Use it if you can use it, or use a trap if you can.

  The girl took a long breath and stood on the grass, moving her sore wrists.

  The rope loop is temporarily empty, and some bait must 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.

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

  In case you catch a leopard or even a brown bear, Pinellia is not sure whether this simple trap can restrain such a large and powerful creature, so add some poison to the bait.

  It’s not enough to use traps, but medicine is still needed!

  Poison them!

  Unfortunately, the rat poison has not been delivered. I told BG4MXH three or four days ago that I need rat poison, but I don’t know what went wrong. The time capsule has not been delivered to me.

  The night before, he asked himself to smash the wall at the gate of the community, saying that the time capsule was hidden there.

  I smashed it all afternoon yesterday, but failed to smash it open.

  Solid cement is too strong. I want to open it unless there are heavy machinery or explosives.

  Banxia only had a poor engineer shovel in her hand, and she could only leave a few white prints no matter how she digs it. She was sore all over her digging, and the concrete wall still remained motionless.

  She really can’t do anything with it.

   "This thing is outrageous."

  The girl said.

   "This thing is out of the way—the spectrum—!"

  The girl yelled at the concrete wall.

   Pinellia picks up dead leaves and weeds, and gently covers the trap mechanism and nylon rope until they are integrated. This is a necessary concealment measure. The dangling rope loop can easily arouse animal alertness.

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

  The girl resisted the idea of ​​putting her foot in the rope loop to try.

People are such weird creatures. They always like to test repeatedly on the edge of death. If you draw a circle on the ground, 100% of people will step on it. If you don’t step on, you’ll feel uncomfortable. Banxia dispels this dangerous idea in your mind. When a mechanism is touched, she is about to be hung to a tree. No one here can help herself.

   Banxia packed up and left the scene, wiping away traces of her actions by the way.

  It’s okay to put the trap here, wait until the bait is ready and come back.

  She is going to prepare for the next trap.

  One trap is not enough, so you should set up a few more. If resources are not limited, Banxia even wants to put all the traps all over Meihua Villa.

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

  This is a duel between a girl and a beast.

  She carried her bag and bow and arrows, and walked back along the asphalt road. Tonight, she had to urge BG4MXH to send him rat poison. Of course, don’t seal it in the cement again this time.

  In the roadway between the two buildings, a draught wind blows from the front, and all the vegetation swayed with the wind in a moment, undulating layer upon layer like a wave, and Pinellia suddenly stopped and turned his head to look around suspiciously.

  Looking around, the verdant verdant is dripping.

   Pinellia frowned.

Is    an illusion?

  Are you all alone?

  What is smiling?
