Chapter 638: City and Wilderness (Part 2)

Oliver Queen, a rich boy who has been pampered since childhood, was pushed into the sea for some reason and drifted to a desert island. He survived alone on this isolated island in the sea with very harsh conditions for three months.

Generally speaking, this situation is unlikely to happen. The probability of encountering an isolated island while floating in the ocean is very low. Without any survival knowledge and skills, it is almost impossible to survive here. possible.

However, Oliver, who later became the Green Arrow, not only has a stronger will than ordinary people, but also has better luck than ordinary people.

The place where he was pushed into the water was not far from the island, and his year-round fitness habits also ensured that he had enough physical strength to float on the water and successfully ashore from the island's shoal.

But he was also unfortunate. This season is when tropical storms often come. As soon as he landed, he encountered a storm, which consumed a lot of energy, so that he could not maintain his strength for a long time afterward. A good rhythm for survival.

Desert island survival is not as simple as many people think. In the desert island survival game, players can see their survival values. When they are hungry and thirsty, they can judge by the hunger bar and water bar.

However, there is no such data in the real world. Oliver had just experienced a storm and consumed a lot of energy, but he did not have an accurate judgment. He mistakenly thought that he was still energetic, so he planned to climb to the highest point of this isolated island. Point to the top of the cliff and see if you can see the ship.

However, the terrain here was far more difficult than he imagined. He was already hungry just halfway through.

At this time, the most fatal problem appeared. Although Oliver had no experience in wilderness survival, he at least knew that fruits and mushrooms in the wild could not be eaten casually. Therefore, the road to eating plants to fill his stomach was blocked.

Then all that's left is hunting and eating meat. There are a lot of prey in the tropical rain forest. There are birds in the sky, fish in the water, and turtles on the beach. The problem is that he can't deal with any of them. <.

He couldn't catch birds or fish with his bare hands. He had to make tools, but to make tools, he needed to find raw materials. To get raw materials, he had to expend physical energy to collect plants or explore stones.

But because he had misjudged his physical strength before, by the time he realized he was hungry, he no longer had the energy to do these things.

The vast majority of losers in wilderness survival fail because of this reason. Human beings have little understanding of their own bodies. There are many abnormal conditions that cannot be discovered at the first time. By the time they are discovered, they are already irreversible. .

However, Oliver had better luck than others. He found a creek. There were some small fish in the pool at the drop of the creek, and he could catch them without much effort.

This kind of small fish does not have much meat, but it is more abundant and easy to obtain. It was just after the storm ended. The fish came to the surface one after another and were immediately caught by Oliver. After killing them, they were cleaned. I didn’t have time to light the fire to grill the fish, so I just put it in my mouth.

"To be honest, the smell was not as terrible as I thought. Maybe it was because, at that time, I was extremely hungry and I thought they were quite delicious..." Oliver said while warming himself by the fire in the cave.

"If you talk about eating it raw, fish is pretty good, especially if it's been processed cleanly. At least it doesn't have any weird smell." Arthur nodded.

"However, you have to pay attention to parasites. The fish you are talking about should be fresh water fish, right? Parasites are quite scary." Schiller reminded.

Oliver shook his head and said: "I am more afraid of starving to death than parasites. For a long time, this group of small fish ensured that I would not starve to death and passed the early stage smoothly."

"What happens next?" Arthur asked curiously. He had never heard of such a Robinson-style adventure story, so he was very interested in it.

"After I regained my strength, I knew that it would not be long before the next storm came. I had to find a shelter for myself. I originally wanted to build one myself, but I found that I couldn't..." The look on Oliver's face He showed a helpless expression.

It is a fantasy to expect a rich boy to learn how to survive overnight. At the beginning, Oliver could only use some dense palm leaves to entangle and tie them between two big trees to make an awning. .

But because he didn't know how to knit, the tangle was just random knotting. The life of this kind of shed was very short and consumed a lot of leaves. He had to keep moving his position so that there were enough palm trees to collect leaves for him.

The only advantage of guarding the creek is that there is no shortage of water and the food problem can be temporarily solved. The only fatal thing is the upcoming tropical storm.

"After seven or eight days there, I realized I had to get out of there. If I didn't, the next storm came, and I might die there."

"I need to find a place that's strong enough to use as a refuge instead of just lying to myself with those leaves on my head."

"And you found the cave?" Schiller asked,

"Yes, I feel very lucky to have such a cave to give me shelter, but the problem here is that there is no food and the water source is far away. I have to make tools to try to hunt, otherwise I will starve to death."

Arthur's eyes fell on the bow in his hand, and he said, "Did you do this? Not bad."

Oliver sighed and said, "I just remember the general shape of the bow and arrow. The string of the bow and arrow is still made of palm leaf fiber, which is not elastic enough, so the bow and arrow cannot fly far. And because the arrow tail has no feathers to maintain balance, the accuracy is very poor."

"However, in the second month, I successfully hunted an injured cormorant with this bow and had a successful meal."

"It was that meal that kept me going until now. After that, I could only eat some small lizards, or shells and hermit crabs I found by chance. There are no meaty large animals on this island, but if it really If so, I might be the one who dies."

"Have you ever considered fishing?" Schiller asked.

Oliver showed an embarrassed expression and said: "I can fish and have participated in sea fishing, but..."

"Oh, I know," Arthur made a clear expression and said, "It's normal. The rich people who come to our place are like that. They don't know various brands of fishing rods and fishing lines." After all, the bait is useful for whatever purpose. Just sit there for a whole day. If you don’t catch it, just ask someone else to buy it.”

"Of course, I don't deny that some people really like fishing, and I can quite easily chat with them. However, this group of rich people tend to underestimate sea fishing. They have not thought about the fish they use. Rod brand, fishing line type and bait type are actually the experiences summarized by others.”

"If I throw them on a desert island, they probably won't even be able to make a fishing rod, let alone make a fishing line, catch fish bait, find a suitable place to put the rod, and adjust the fishing rod according to different types of fishing rods and fishing lines. , it’s time to change the time to lift the pole.”

Oliver nodded and said with deep understanding: "It's not like I haven't tried to make a fishing rod before. Everyone knows that fish in offshore waters are the best source of food..."

"However, there is no flexible wood that can be used for fishing rods here, and the effect of using fiber to make a line is very poor. I used small fish in the stream as bait, and no fish bit the hook..." Oliver sighed He took a breath and told his failure experience. He said:

"More importantly, fishing on the deck of a cruise ship is completely different from fishing on the beach or on the rocks. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to judge whether the fish has taken the bait. I can't feel it at all."

When it came to this part, Arthur was very interested. He said: "I think you used the same material as your arrow shaft to make the fishing rod. This kind of thing should be some kind of plant stem, but the hardness is too high and the It’s too brittle to be used as an arrow shaft, but it’s easy to break when used as a fishing rod.”

“Also, it’s perfectly fine to use fiber as a fishing line. Offshore fishing does not have high requirements for fishing lines. However, if you want to fish with a fishing line that has little toughness, the technique is very important and you must close the pole in time.”

"And for bait, it's okay to use the small fish you mentioned, but it might be better to use their internal organs..."

"Then why not give it a try?" Schiller turned to look outside and said, "The storm has stopped, it's time to go out and take a look."

Several people walked out along the door of the cave and found that the plants on the island had been blown beyond recognition. Arthur turned back to Oliver and said: "You wait here first, Professor Schiller, please take care of him, I will go find him." Come back with some materials.”

Because there are indeed no large predators on this island, and although the resources are relatively expensive and scarce, they are not too dangerous, so the two of them let Arthur go out alone, and Arthur came back within half an hour, holding a Holding a bunch of stuff.

He used cattail leaf strips made of the same material as his hat to weave a net bag. It looked like a fishing net, but after holding the four corners, it could be used to hold things.

There was a large stone, a lot of messy leaves, and some plant roots. He also carried a slender piece of wood on his shoulder.

Arthur put these things on the ground, then pointed at them and said to the two of them: "Professor Schiller, please treat this stone. This half can be made into a pot or a bowl, and this half can be made sharp." A little to use later for cutting fiber and wood.”

When Arthur saw that Schiller could dig out such a large rock wall, he knew that he had the ability to handle stones, so he specially brought back a very large stone. This stone was relatively flat and wide from top to bottom, left and right, but not It's deep, so it's suitable for a shallow pot, and the edge is just right for an axe.

"The two of us will separate these leaves and tear them into strips. Later, we will go to the creek to get some water, boil the water over a fire, and cook the fibers."

"The cooked fiber will be more flexible and stronger, and will not be as brittle as the original leaves." Arthur said clearly in this regard, "Did you see this net? Although I use it to hold things , but this is actually a small fishing net, which is a hand-thrown net made of boiled fibers by fishermen, which can be used to throw the net for fishing. "

Arthur sat down and began to sort out the leaves. He said, "I took a look when I came here. There are many fish nearby. It is faster to catch fish by throwing a net than fishing with a fishing rod."

"The storm has blown down a lot of big trees. We can look for some wood, make a small canoe, and cast the net a little away from the coast. In that case, the fish caught in one net will be enough for us to eat for a long time."

Schiller looked at his face, and Arthur felt a little uncomfortable under his stare. After a while, Schiller lowered his head to deal with the stone and said, "I take back what I said before. You don't have to go to the big city to try it."

Schiller sighed and thought to himself that maybe he was indeed arrogant enough to think that the city was all of human beings, but in fact, there are still many places on this earth that have not been set foot by humans, and there are many such wildernesses and islands.

In the city, he can drink coffee leisurely and stand in front of the French window to watch the rain. Even the cold rain in Gotham at night will only become his sleep music.

However, when he came to a deserted island with few people, the conditions that determine survival are no longer the complex knowledge in civilized society, but the simple fisherman's experience in Arthur's mind.

Among the three people, it is Arthur who is the most immature, has not read many books, and has not experienced the life of a big city, who can take advantage of survival.

Soon, the sun shone out from the thick clouds, and the plants covered with water droplets became upright again.

Schiller thought that in a cartoon that mainly depicts cities and people in cities, few people would notice that these cities and people also live on this blue planet, and here, there is an extremely vast world.

In just a few dozen minutes, the forest regained its vitality again. Compared with such a scene, the various stories that happened in the dark city were like a small episode in a grand performance.

Perhaps a bat that has been living in a cave has been running around for more than ten years, but has no patience to devote itself to the wilderness.

Therefore, it can only listen to the episode with its ears, trying to find artistry in the simple melody, until it feels that it is alone and unpopular.

Thinking of this, Schiller suddenly smiled and said to Arthur: "You guys go ahead, I'm going to breathe some fresh air." After that, he left the cave.

20 minutes later, Schiller sat in the cockpit of the Batfighter over the isolated island and said, "Which button is to shut down the engine?"

Hal next to him swallowed his saliva and said, "Are you sure you want to do this? I can't afford to pay for this thing if it breaks."

"It doesn't matter, someone can pay for it."

Said Schiller, opened a transparent plastic cover and hit the red button inside hard.

A few dozen seconds later, there was a violent vibration in the cave. Arthur and Oliver turned around suddenly. The flames of the explosion illuminated their faces, and they opened their mouths in shock.

At the same time, a voice full of doubt came from Wayne Manor:

"Why did the plane crash? ???????"
