Chapter 3 1.2 Ancient Aboriginal People

There seems to be a huge creature walking towards this direction.

Ye Man found a hollow tree trunk and hid in the hole.

The tremors of the earth became louder and louder, and she hid in the tree trunk and remained motionless.

As the earth trembled, some white soft-bodied larvae fell from the tree trunks, landing on her body and head.

If they stretched out their bodies, they would be about as long as a hand and as thick as a thumb, and they were twisting wildly on her body.

The tremors on the ground grew louder and louder, until as it approached, the giant beast outside suddenly stopped.

Ye Man could clearly hear its huge snoring sound, with a distant and long tone.

"Brush, brush, brush", the branches and leaves rustled like a passing hurricane, mixed with the sound of branches breaking.

Then she heard some small crashing sounds and the sound of grinding and chewing.

The fat larvae slowly crawled up her arms and neck, and pupated into her sleeves and collar.

She gritted her teeth and held back, not moving or making a sound.

There were overwhelming sounds of leaves rubbing and chewing, and she also heard its weird and long swallowing sound.

About ten minutes later, the ground trembled again. The giant beast's footsteps gradually moved away.

After Ye Man confirmed that the giant beast was gone, he climbed out of the tree hole, jumped and swung his body, and shook off the fat larvae on his body to the ground.

She took a deep breath to calm down the panic of being attacked by a giant beast and the nausea of ​​living with wriggling larvae.

In the next second, she picked up nearly ten larvae one by one without hesitation and put them into a small zippered side pocket of her backpack.

She plans to eat them in the evening.

Since she was very young, Ye Man has been accustomed to using reason to suppress her emotions, and she has maintained this habit.

Like most people, she was not indifferent to squirming maggots. But she habitually suppressed her emotions and forced herself to think——

Although she still has a surplus of food and has not yet felt any obvious hunger, the rescue team will arrive soon. The hot weather will also accelerate the food rot in Kaifeng, and the partners she is looking for may not have food. Therefore, she cannot

Plan to be the first to easily consume precious supplies like compressed biscuits.

In the wild, the most easily available food is insect larvae. They are at the bottom of the food chain and are rich in protein. Compared with other species, their variation over hundreds of millions of years is not great. They are the safest food currently available to her.

After loading the insect, Ye Man stepped forward to check the footprints left by the giant beast on the soil.

She found several complete huge footprints. The front feet were larger than the footprints of African elephants, and the back feet were even larger. They had five toes, all of the feet were on the ground, and they were crawling on all fours.

Ye Man habitually took out his mobile phone to take photos and records, and suddenly thought that the unlocked page only had two apps, that is, there were no app buttons for taking photos and camera.

However, the paradox is that the phone itself is equipped with four rear cameras of different sizes and one front camera.

"It seems that some functions have been deliberately blocked by the system." Ye Mansi thought to himself.

There is a camera, which means that the phone itself has a camera function. Ye Man decided to check the phone carefully.

She returned to the lock screen, looked carefully, and was pleasantly surprised to find a small camera icon in the lower right corner. After sliding from here, she successfully arrived at the photo page.

However, this joy did not last long.

She found that although video and photo content could be used, photos could not be stored. She could only view her latest photo or video, and if she took multiple photos, the first few would be overwritten by new ones.

That said, the camera cannot be used as a long-term recording tool.

So she put away her phone decisively and took out her pencil.

After all, her original owner came for a scientific investigation and didn't even bring a notebook.

Ye Man directly tore off a blank spacer page from the "Illustrated Book of the History of Reptiles", traced the footprints on it, marked a few features on the side, and then tucked it back into the book.

"The next task is to find seats and water sources." Ye Man reminded himself.

The seat is a key item that determines when they can be rescued, and water is an essential material for Ye Man to survive in the short term.

It must be the original owner who traveled thousands of miles to investigate in ancient times, but there was no kettle or water in his bag.

Ye Man already had some idea about the seat. She took out the crumpled parachute from her backpack and observed it carefully.

There is a very small black and white screen on the safety belt connected to the parachute, like the LCD screen of some early electronic watches. It only displays two separated numbers - 3557 / 2891.

She walked a certain distance in one direction, and the number on the display suddenly jumped - 3558/2890.

She walked some distance in the opposite direction, and when she reached her original position, the display screen jumped back to the original number.

Continue walking and the display screen changes to 3556/2892.

She tried it in several different directions. The answer became clear - this is a coordinate system. Not surprisingly, Ye Man speculated that it should be the coordinates pointing to the seat, and her ultimate goal was to make

These two numbers become 0/0.

Ye Man was not surprised by the appearance of this coordinate.

During an emergency landing, the size of the parachute is limited. In order to reduce the weight of the falling body as much as possible, the seat will separate from the human body, allowing humans to survive.

However, the rescue device is on the seat, so as the designer of the emergency system, it is necessary to design a method that can facilitate the safe landing of the victims to retrieve the seat.

With the coordinates of the seat, everything is easier.

She was in no hurry to find the coordinates at the moment - if the coordinates were in meters, it meant that she would have to walk nearly five thousand meters to find the seat even if it was a straight line in the air.

And her watch showed six o'clock in the afternoon.

She did not have enough time or physical ability to walk five thousand meters.

She had doubted the accuracy of the time at first, but the tilt of the sunlight seemed to confirm that the time was consistent with her watch.

"I need to find a place to spend the night." Ye Man said to himself.

After the giant beast passed away, the environment returned to a surprisingly quiet state. The excessive silence was depressing, and Ye Man released the pressure through moderate self-talk.

She walked towards the coordinates, planning to stop when she saw a suitable place on the road and continue walking towards the coordinates the next day.

Along the way, she kept scattering the small gravels she had picked up before, and when she was done, she picked up new gravels and continued to scatter them all the way.

This is the way Hansel recorded his walking route in the fairy tale "Candy House" to make it easier for him and his sister to walk home.

Then at regular intervals, Ye Man would use a knife to prominently carve "ym2" and "ym3" on the stone wall... to leave a trail of movement.

She hopes to leave as many obvious human traces as possible so that another of her companions can see her trajectory and find her.

After all, if, as she expected, the other companion was Diko who invited her into the game, that guy was a sports girl, and it would definitely be faster to let her come to her.

Even if they failed to reunite smoothly, Ye Man believed that Di Ke would be able to survive smoothly in the first few days with her strong skills.

The sky gradually reflected the rose-colored sunset, and Ye Man finally saw a small stone cave.

She did not enter rashly, but simply used the rope in her backpack to set a trap at the entrance of the cave, and then threw a few stones in.

Sure enough, several sharp roars came from the cave.

She hid behind a tree and saw a small dinosaur and a mini dinosaur running out.

That dinosaur was shorter than Ye Man, and the mini dinosaur was even smaller. They quickly tripped over the trap, then stood upright, then ran forward, and then tripped again.

Ye Man:…

These prehistoric animals seem surprisingly easy to bully.

After falling down several times, the two dinosaurs jumped out of the knot. They turned around in panic, looked around, and ran out of the grotto.

So before dark, Ye Man successfully seized the aboriginal's territory and moved into the cave.

And in the cave, she discovered an unexpected surprise.
