Chapter 12 Finding the River of Life
There are thick leaves underneath, a few large leaves are covered with them, and even a pillow is made of big leaves. This "bed" is quite good.
Although it is not as elastic as the "vine mat" bed on the island of my hometown, the horizontal branches of this big tree are wide enough, and the top is flat. Dong Chen lies on it much wider than the vine mat. If he hadn't prepared a long hemp rope that was connected together, a single short hemp rope would not be tied up at all.
Dong Chen, who lay down, did not go to bed immediately, but was sorting out today's gains and planning the actions that followed.
Today was quite exciting. Not only did I meet a marine monster suspected to be the overlord of this area, but I also had a very close contact.
As the ocean overlord of a certain era on Earth, although Mosasaur is not sure whether it is the overlord of the entire star ocean on the other side, there should be no suspense in this sea area.
At that time, the Mosasaur-like sea beast obviously saw itself, but it didn't know that it was the same as the Mosasaur on Earth. The Mosasaur on Earth was very weak, but its sense of smell and hearing were very developed. If the Mosasaur-like creatures here were the same, then it might be staring at itself, but it was actually mainly "observing" itself with its sense of smell and hearing.
However, the owner of the eyes was staring at it, and the food that was constantly bleeding was still biting in his mouth. Now he still felt a little creepy when he thought about it.
The water is the home ground of these creatures, but it is an absolute disadvantage for humans. The feeling of powerlessness is quite real.
In the end, I might feel that I am too small, or that I feel that my shape is not in the recipe I remember, or that I already have a five-meter-long food in my mouth, so the Mosagosaurus turned around and left.
Before leaving, it may not know how much pressure it has been put on the creature in front of it.
Later, as soon as Dong Chen left Longkou, he felt the "passion" of the storm.
That guy didn't die in the mouth of Mosado Sea Beast, but he fought with the Storm. Fortunately, he survived and safely reached his destination.
This exciting day directly gave Dong Chen a deeper understanding of this planet, that is, although there are many places that are similar to the earth, it is much more dangerous than the earth environment where Dong Chen survives.
This made Dong Chen, who was about to explore the forest, more careful.
Starting tomorrow, Dong Chen will go north along the coastline to find the river he saw before, and then follow the river deep into the jungle to find a civilized gathering area.
If there is a civilized gathering area in this forest, it must be not far from the river, or even next to the river.
Even if there is no civilized gathering area in this forest, you will always find it by following the river. It is better than wandering around in the forest.
Generally speaking, if you want to find a popular place in an unfamiliar area, it is absolutely right to look along the coastline or river.
Through those two boots and the creatures discovered in the past few days, Dong Chen judged that the civilization on this planet should be a human-like carbon-based creature, which is similar to humans.
This is easy to deal with. You can guess some things directly based on human living habits.
Human survival is inseparable from water and food. Rivers can bring rich water resources. Once civilization reaches a certain stage, agricultural planting will become a main source of food. It is a very good choice to survive and develop close to rivers.
In river basins, especially in the middle and lower reaches, large alluvial plains will be generated. The terrain here is flat and vast. In addition, the river will impact the silt and sand in the upper reaches here, bringing a large amount of fertile soil, which is more conducive to the development of agriculture.
Moreover, near rivers, the climate is relatively warm and the environment is good, and it can also increase the diversity of food, which is very conducive to human reproduction and prosperity.
Then, the needs of civilization development on this planet should be similar.
After sorting out these things, Dong Chen asked Tianshu to turn on the warning device and go to bed.
……………………
Dong Chen slept well one night. He woke up in the morning with the sound of birds crying and found that he had not fallen down, nor was he disturbed by any animals, and the warning of Tianshu was not triggered.
It was originally by the sea, there were no freshwater resources here, and generally no large creatures were running here, so it was relatively safe.
He reached out and untied the knot tied to his hand, and then lifted up a few large leaves covering his body as a quilt, and Dong Chen stood up.
He put the rope back in his backpack again, stretched his waist, looked at the rising red sun in the east, Dong Chen breathed out and said, "It's another wonderful day!"
"But no matter how beautiful the day is, you have to eat first," Dong Chen sighed, "When people are iron and rice, they are steel. This sentence is not correct at all."
Irregular diet can cause many problems. Although the problems will not occur in a short period of time, Dong Chen doesn’t know how long he will survive alone in this place, so it’s better to be cautious and try to maintain the good condition of his body.
After discovering so many places similar to the earth in the past few days, Dong Chen can't guarantee how big the gap between this world and the earth is.
If it is similar to the gap between Earth and Mars or the kind of alien environment as imagined, it would be better, but if it is just similar to the gap between Europe and America, Dong Chen would have to be more careful.
Using his increasingly skilled diving method, Dong Chen found some seafood in the shallow sea with abundant light. After checking the Tianshu, there was no problem, Dong Chen had another rich seafood meal.
However, after these days of "hard work" in seafood, Dong Chen still misses pasta, rice and stir-frying, and barbecue every day. It is not good to eat too much.
But now I am in a state of survival and can't control so much, and some of them are good to eat.
However, now that I have come to a large jungle, Dong Chen feels that his future recipes will be expanded a lot, at least there is no need to worry about food diversity.
After breakfast, Dong Chen drank some water and looked at it at half past seven. He took a short rest and headed north along the coastline to find the river entrance he had seen on the sea before.
Dong Chen walked very carefully along the way. His smart bracelet kept on the life signal detection device, and Dong Chen asked Tianshu to open the detection range to the maximum. Compared with the small trees on the island, the trees here are extremely tall and dense, and the detection distance is really limited. After 20 meters, the detection signal will decay greatly.
Moreover, the high power is turned on, which has greatly increased the power consumption of the smart bracelet. The energy collected by the ultra-high efficiency solar energy collection device can no longer supply the real-time consumption of energy, and it has begun to consume the energy stored daily.
Fortunately, the battery storage technology of the bracelet has passed the test. Even if there is no sun at all, the high-power consumption speed can last for half a month. If it is a state of charging while consuming, it can last for about a month.
When you arrive at a relatively safe place, turn off this high-power device and you can restore 100% of your power in a few days of sunlight.
It is relatively safe to move along the coastline. I have not encountered any large and fierce creatures. After all, the beach is considered a border area of the forest. There is so much water left, but I can't drink it at all, so I don't have any use.
After walking on the beach, as the terrain gradually grew higher, the trees gradually grew to the beach. Dong Chen also entered the forest. After walking for a long period of cliff edge, the terrain slowed down again, he finally saw a river flowing into the estuary.
However, looking at the river less than four meters wide, Dong Chen felt that this should be a forked tributary of the big river I saw before.
"It's 3:00 p.m. It's not too late."
Looking at the time and the surrounding environment, Dong Chen planned to walk inside before dark and see the situation. He said that there was really nothing by the beach.
