Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In doomsday survival, rope is especially important.

    The teacher collected a lot of ropes and stored them in the building. She is a very far-sighted and foresighted person. When she was a child, Ban Xia didn't realize it. When she grew up, Ban Xia realized how powerful the teacher is. She found that the teacher took every point into consideration and arranged them.  Well, in the most chaotic and difficult days, she dragged the young Pinellia to collect supplies little by little, and built the Meihua Villa into a strong fortress little by little.

    In the end, she died under the greenery downstairs. Although the girl was alone, she was still well protected.

    Pinellia put two bundles of green nylon ropes on the shoulders on both sides, one bundle with a diameter of 10 mm, and the other bundle with a diameter of 0 mm, which were very firm, and then went downstairs.

    Setting traps is also a science. Animals are smarter than humans. Do not underestimate the wisdom of other creatures. This is one of the survival rules taught by the teacher.

    Banxia doesn't know what the uninvited guest who broke into the Plum Blossom Villa is. It may be a jackal, a leopard, or even a brown bear. Anyway, it is a very dangerous creature. The Plum Blossom Villa is not a good habitat.  Since the teacher was still alive, they have regularly cleaned up the environment inside the community. Due to human activities, herbivores are not close to it, so large predators rarely come to the community.

    Ban Xia still remembers the first time he noticed that thing. It was the last time he went out to fish and was followed when he came home at night.

    Did it invade the community that night?

    Or was it already lurking here long before that?

    Meihua Villa is adjacent to the broad Muxuyuan Street in the west, Haiyue Garden Community in the north, Houbiaoying Road in the south, and the dormitory of the 28th Institute of China Electronics Technology in the east.  The east side is connected to other residential areas. In this era, the residential area has long been completely covered by vegetation, and it is no different from a jungle. Therefore, the dangerous creature may have come from the Zijin Mountain in the northwest.

    The girl was sitting on the steps on the first floor of the unit building, humming leisurely, stretching her long legs together, holding a sharp dagger in one hand and a small log in the other.

    She is chipping wood.

    Banxia pushes the back of the knife with her left thumb, chipping off the sawdust one by one. She is a skilled carpenter, and obviously she has done a lot of work. She is digging out a square notch from this palm-length log.

    This is the trigger for making a trap.

    The teacher said that all traps can be simplified into three parts, namely power, traction and trigger.

    The so-called trigger is the hub that keeps the trap balanced and still when there is no prey, and triggers the trap to start when there is prey. It is the core mechanism of the trap and is quite critical.

    The most commonly used and simplest trigger is two hooks that can fit each other, just like the two hands of a person are placed together and the four fingers are bent to hook each other. These two hooks can be made of wood.

    Two pieces of wood of similar size are cut into hooks with a knife.

    The girl spent more than half an hour digging out a square groove in the center of the two wooden blocks, both of which were concave, and then tried to hook them together and pulled them hard.

    Very strong.

    After polishing it again, I squinted my eyes and looked at the light.

    Trigger you're done!

    One-third of the trap has been completed. Among the three major elements, the trigger needs to be made by itself, and the traction relies on a strong nylon rope. The rope is responsible for connecting the various components of the trap and transmitting power.

    The last is motivation.

    There is a natural source of power, and it is also the easiest to get, that is the tree.

    Banxia wraps herself tightly in a plastic raincoat, wears a hood and gloves, and wears plastic rain boots on her feet. This is to prevent her own smell from remaining. Some animals have a very keen sense of smell. If there are human beings in the trap  smell, they will remain alert and will not be fooled.

    The girl got into the grass, and as she walked deeper, she lowered her head to look for signs of animal movements.

    There are mottled residential buildings on both sides, and emerald green vines hang down from the roof, covering the dark windows.

    These high-rise buildings have been unoccupied for more than ten years, and a building has been vacant for ten or twenty years in a normal society and an unmanned environment.  After the evacuation, Chernobyl may meet the previous condition, but Pripyat, where it is located, is located in northern Ukraine, above 50 degrees north latitude, with a dry and cold climate.  , It¡¯s more like dropping a building into the middle of the Amazon rainforest, desolate and isolated, and leaving it vacant for another twenty years.

    Most of the buildings here are uninhabitable, the damp airThe weather and the erosion of plants have cracked the outer walls of the buildings. Some residential buildings are severely cracked, and deep cracks can be seen penetrating from the top with the naked eye.

    The girl got out of the grass and stepped on the road.

    Except for the asphalt paved road, the rest of the community is full of dense weeds.

    The green belt of the community in the past is now lush vegetation, not only grass, but also shrubs, vines, and newly grown trees. They are tightly intertwined, like a thick wall, and those old residential buildings  Just behind the wall.

    The better the greening, the faster the community will be engulfed by nature, only the hardened road paved with floor tiles or asphalt is still stubbornly resisting.

    As long as they are not broken, plant seeds cannot germinate there. Without plants, it is not considered a natural world. All hardened roads covered with floor tiles, asphalt, and no weeds in this world are the territory of pinellia. She  And the natural well water does not interfere with the river water.

    The girl found a suitable tree.

    It grows in the grass by the side of the road. It may be a oak tree, almost as high as a storey, with a trunk as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It grows straight and becomes thinner as it goes up.

    As the source of power for traps, trees provide elastic force, or elastic potential energy. This is the easiest energy to obtain and the easiest way to use energy. Both trees and bamboo are available all over the world. You can store energy by bending them.  , Just be careful that the tree can't be too thick or too thin. If it's too thick, it won't move. If it's too thin, it will break.

    Banxia threw her backpack on the ground, with a knife in her mouth, jumped up vigorously, clamped her legs tightly on the tree trunk, climbed up like a monkey, and pulled out her knife to chop off the extra branches one by one.  Drop it, leaving a trunk in the middle.

    She grabbed the tip of the top of the trunk again, jumped down lightly, pulled the top of the tree to the ground, and bent the tree with her own weight.

    The newly born, water-rich Quercus is extremely elastic, and the straight trunk was pulled down by the girl and bent into an N-shape without breaking.

    She let go, and the tree trunk bounced back sharply.

    Very good, very suitable.

    Ban Xia clapped her hands, she was very satisfied, this tree is very suitable as a source of power for the trap.

    She had to deal with that dangerous visitor.

    The best way is to hang it on the top of the tree
