Chapter 8: Survival on a Desert Island (2)
When Zhang Heng opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying on a strange beach.
The waves washed over his body, and a hermit crab with a conch shell on its back slipped past his eyes.
Zhang Heng was in a terrible state now, he had been thirsty, hungry, and exhausted since he woke up, and this feeling was as if it had really been floating at sea for a few days.
He found a dry spot and sat down with his back against the rock wall.
Look in the direction you were washed to, where there is only endless water.
What is this, the survival reality show filming site?
Maybe it was the sequelae of that glass of lemonade, maybe it was because he hadn't eaten for too long Zhang Heng's brain was now groggy, he forced himself to calm down and began to think about everything that happened to him.
At the request of the eccentric guy in Tang costume, he became his agent, came to a bar called Sex and the City to participate in a mysterious game, and finally found the main owner, but was drugged by the other party, and then was thrown on a desert island like this.
So the question is, why would the other party do this, and will it do them any good?
And the mysterious voice that appeared in his mind before that seemed to be a game login, was it his hallucination? What's the point if not?
His body was still the same as before, but the tracksuit on his body was gone, replaced by a pair of beach pants and a floral T-shirt, and the Swiss Army knife tucked in his trouser pocket just in case was naturally gone.
But the watch on his right hand was still there, and it was the only thing that wasn't missing.
However, when Zhang Heng's eyes fell on the dial, he was stunned.
The date on the starfish hadn't changed, still on Thursday the night he entered the Sex and the City bar, and it had only been a minute before he fell unconscious.
Zhang Heng stared at it for a while, and found that the second hand had not moved.
Is it broken?
Zhang Heng was a little surprised, he had done a lot of experiments before, this watch could not be adjusted, the time on it was always accurate, the extra 12 scales could only be seen by him, whether it was flooding or fire, it could not be damaged, and it was not like something in this world.
Zhang Heng once tried to throw it from the more than 200-meter-high building to the cement floor below, but the hard cement floor was smashed into a small hole, and the watch was unharmed.
He once thought that even if he hung up this watch, he would be able to go all the way to the end of the world, but he didn't expect that it would also lose power one day......
However, immediately after that, Zhang Heng's heart moved, and he remembered the mysterious voice that appeared in his mind not long ago, and the other party mentioned the time flow rate of 480 at the end.
Zhang Heng's eyelids picked, is it really literal?
If someone else wants to verify this, they may only have to wait until forty days later, but for Zhang Heng, he has other ways.
He reached out and pressed his pulse, and twenty minutes later finally confirmed a horrible thing.
- The starfish in his hands are not broken.
The watch is still moving according to real-world time, but when converted, one second has become eight minutes.
So...... Is it really just a game?
Zhang Heng was a little dazed, the scenery in front of him was so real, the golden sand, the coconut trees swaying in the wind, the T-shirt sticking to his body after soaking wet, the uneven rocks hurt his back, and the hunger and weakness wrapped him, so that he could clearly feel the passage of life.
Either way, it's imperative to find a way to regain some stamina first.
Now Zhang Heng has even begun to struggle to think.
He knew that he had to eat and replenish water, but although Zhang Heng's mental quality was better than that of ordinary people, he was just an ordinary college student after all, as a modern person, he had no clue how to live on a desert island, he couldn't distinguish between edible and non-edible plants, and didn't know how to hunt, find water, and build shelters......
Fortunately, he finally knew the coconut tree.
Less than twenty meters to his left were several coconut trees with green coconuts growing on them, the coconut water in them to nourish his lips and throat, and the pulp to provide him with much-needed energy and vitamins.
Zhang Heng picked up a palm-sized stone from his feet and found a coconut tree that might have been crooked by the typhoon.
I smashed the coconut off the top with the stone in my hand.
There are seven of them, and they are about three to four meters above the ground.
Of course, this kind of thing would not be difficult in normal times, but considering Zhang Heng's current physical state, it really took him a lot of effort to get those coconuts off the tree.
And when he smashed these green coconuts one by one on the rocks and drank the coconut water inside, half an hour had passed, and then Zhang Heng scraped some coconut meat with a stone and swallowed it in his stomach.
Zhang Heng couldn't tell whether he was in the game or in reality.
If all of this was false, there was no way to explain why his senses and body were so real, or the strange flow of time on his watch, but if he was still in reality. How did the other party throw him from the city where he lived to this desert island in the blink of an eye?
Zhang Heng shook his head and decided to continue to use the old method and put the unsolvable problem there first.
Anyway, according to the old man in Tang costume, whether this is a game or reality, he must find a way to survive.
Is it just that an ordinary modern person living in a city can really conquer this mysterious nature?
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Heng's mouth, he has always been a very optimistic person, but in the face of the current situation, he didn't think that he could survive on this completely strange island behind him for 40 days.
In fact, even four days is a bit choking.
He lacks the knowledge and skills to survive in the wild, his physical condition is terrible, and he is alone, Zhang Heng really hopes that he is in the game now, because it stands to reason that an excellent game should not have any mortal situation, especially since this is only in the novice level at the beginning.
As if in response to his expectation, the next moment three small black dots appeared in the distant waves.
Zhang Heng dropped the coconut shell in his hand and stood up, he ran to the beach as fast as he could against the scorching sun above his head, and finally saw the three small black dots, which turned out to be three people floating and sinking in the waves.
All three, without exception, were male foreigners.
One of them was wearing a full suit of jackets and hiking boots, and there seemed to be a dagger hanging from his waist, but because the wind and waves were too strong, Zhang Heng couldn't be sure, his expression was the calmest of the three, in addition to that, there was a little brother who was only wearing shorts and an expressionless face, and a bald uncle with a bare ass and nothing on his body.
All three of them are in a dangerous situation, although they try to get closer to the island, but for some unknown reason, they seem to be able to stay afloat, and they are constantly retreating by the waves.
Zhang Heng knew that he had to make a choice, although he had recovered a little physical strength by relying on coconuts, it was obviously unrealistic to save the three of them in one go, and with his current physical strength, he could only choose one of them to try to rescue.
He ended up choosing the bare-ass guy for the simple reason that the guy of the three was closest to the beach.
