Chapter 324 One Day
"Pooh, pooh, pooh."
"It's finally out. It's not easy!"
Bifang, who finally saw the sunlight, spat twice to get rid of all the dust in his mouth and took a deep breath of fresh air.
It’s not quite right to say that it’s fresh. It’s not a big forest. If you smell it carefully, you can still smell gunpowder. At least it’s much better than the elevator shaft full of dust and black oil.
When Bifang actually entered the factory, he looked around. The floor was very empty. At first glance, it seemed that there were only a few load-bearing walls. The ground and walls were all covered with dust and had a waxy yellow color. The windows in many places were all broken.
The drone swept across the area, and sharp-eyed viewers could even see bullet holes left on the wall. The wall was charred black, which was truly horrifying.
【A doomsday scene! 】
[It’s really scary. If I hadn’t told you this was a real place, I would have thought it was the filming location for that movie.]
"The machinery factory?"
The empty floors revealed that the place had been vacated a long time ago, with only a few broken lathes left in the corner.
"They must have moved it themselves, otherwise they wouldn't have locked the door after moving it. But it will be hard to find the good stuff again."
Bifang searched the factory bit by bit, not missing any room, and even found the kitchen.
Sadly, everything was gone, leaving only some bottles and jars containing some seasonings and black granular substances all over the ground.
“Rat shit.”
After stuffing some of the bottles and cans into the bag, Bifang picked up one and squeezed it. It was something that he could recognize without much identification.
"There may be mice nearby, which are actually good food. I haven't eaten for almost 24 hours, and now I'm starving. We can try to find a mouse hole. If we can, maybe we can catch some, and today's lunch will be settled."
As he said this, he stood up and searched, searching inch by inch along the corner of the wall.
[Fuck, you want to eat mice? ]
[It's so dirty here, are the rats poisonous? ]
When the audience heard that Bifang was going to catch mice to solve the food crisis, they were shocked. Can mice be eaten?
It's dirty and disgusting, and the most important thing is that it may also cause disease.
Furthermore, compared with the prey that Bifang had caught before, the mouse was really a little petty and not worthy of being presented.
"I can't do anything about it, but this is a city. Even if it's deserted, it's still a city. Stray cats and dogs can't survive. Only mice can survive in this environment."
Bifang spread his hands, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed maliciously.
"I forgot to tell you one thing. Don't think rats are not good enough. In fact, one of the important functions of rat meat is to nourish the kidneys. It not only contains a lot of protein, but also a variety of minerals and vitamins. It can directly enter the kidney meridian, improve kidney function, and enhance kidney power. It has a good preventive and alleviating effect on male kidney deficiency and frequent urination. In addition, rat meat is also a high-protein, low-fat meat ingredient. It contains a variety of essential amino acids for the human body, which can promote human metabolism and improve body functions. It also has a high selenium content. After being absorbed by the human body, it can delay aging and also increase the activity of men's semen."
【？ ？ ？】
[What the hell, if you say that, I won’t be sleepy anymore! ]
[It's decided, we'll have a rat dinner tonight! ]
[Quick, quick, where is the mouse? I have my net bag ready! ]
[Let me go, I can still eat, what? Kidney deficiency? Impossible, how could I have kidney deficiency?]
When the netizens heard that there were other benefits, their eyes suddenly sparkled, almost flashing green light like the evil wolf that Bifang encountered.
"Hahaha, you can try it, but I still want to remind you that mice carry viruses and bacteria. If you eat something that mice have bitten, you may get plague, so it must be roasted thoroughly and the fire must be extinguished to sterilize it. Eating it directly will easily make you sick. It is best to choose field mice. City mice are accompanied by garbage all day long, and they may ingest harmful substances such as chronic rat poison and heavy metals. Many unscrupulous businesses confuse house mice with field mice and slaughter them for diners to eat, and diners can hardly tell the real thing from the fake."
As an additional note, Bi Fang began to look for traces of mice.
"Rat holes are usually close to the wall because that's their favorite place. Being close to the wall makes them feel safe from predators. Also, pay special attention to the water pipes. With the water pipes, once the rats are in danger, they have an escape route and can get into the pipes directly. Look, here it is!"
Based on the characteristics described by Bifang, he quickly found a natural rat hole, and the fallen water pipe was an excellent escape route.
The function of this road is to connect their nests and the places where they hunt, which also means that this is a good place to set traps, and setting traps here will be more effective.
"Last time in the wilderness arena, someone set traps carelessly without even knowing to look for animal trails first. As a result, they didn't catch any prey for several days. This is a bloody lesson. If you want to get food in the wilderness, you must first be able to recognize the signs of animals. Feces and urine are the first choice. Based on this, you can find the places where they often appear and set traps. There is almost a 60% chance of catching them, and you won't be like last time, where a dozen traps were useless."
[Contestant: Stop cursing, stop cursing]
【Pull it out and whip the corpse! 】
[The contestant without a name passed by silently]
[Contestant: It's only been a few days, and you've even forgotten my name? Love does fade, doesn't it?]
After confirming the animal's path, Bifang began to collect materials and make traps. Hunting traps are not static and cannot be made by chance. They need to be constantly changed according to the size and type of the animal, as well as the materials available.
"Like the wild, the urban jungle can also provide you with all the materials you need. This old factory is full of discarded materials that I can use to make a trap."
Bifang took out a welding rod, took a few steel pipes, picked up a few ropes and returned to the rat hole.
First, he tied a rope to one end of the thick steel bar. After tightening it, Bifang lifted it and found it very heavy. He tilted the whole large steel plate and used a welding rod as a support rod to support it. He explained: "This part is the real trap. It needs to provide weight to catch mice. And it is really heavy. The heavy steel rod can provide enough weight in the trap. Maybe ordinary people can't lift it steadily with one hand. Then, I will use the welding rod as a trigger..."
The welding rod found earlier was bent and the coating on it was peeled off layer by layer.
The welding rod is made of soft metal, easy to bend and can maintain its shape, so it can be inserted seamlessly and pressed under the trap. Finally, a wire is removed, one end of which is connected to the support rod and the other end is hung on the curved iron hook.
"In this way, a slight touch will trigger the mechanism. Finally, we will use a welding rod to make a steel ring. This is the trap that the mouse will pass through. If something comes and stands on it, it will fall down. With such a heavy weight, the mouse may be crushed to death directly, and then it will attract other things..."
After placing the steel ring in the center of the trap, Bifang was about to pull out all the stops when he suddenly thought: yes, what if he is crushed to death and his brains are squeezed out? Would that attract other animals?
During a disaster, all animals have a hard time living, and when they smell blood, they will inevitably come from far away. Shouldn’t we set a trap at this time to kill two birds with one stone?
The netizens were stunned when they heard this.
[Wow, infinite nesting dolls, right? Should we also create an animal that can catch mice? ]
[Should we make another trap to catch animals that catch mice? ]
[Should we make a trap to catch mice? ]
【Let me break the nightmare cycle! 】
[The mantis stalks the cicada, my uncle admires you! 】
[Empty-handed tricks for something, my learning is in vain]
It would have been fine if he hadn't thought of it, but since he had thought of it but didn't do it, Bifang felt very anxious. Finally, he sighed and made a simple noose trap with the remaining ropes and iron bars.
The noose trap can catch anything, from small squirrels and rabbits to large wild boars.
As long as you choose the right height from the ground, the most important thing is to find the path the animal is traveling.
"The trap is about seven or eight centimeters off the ground. I made it based on the size of wild cats. And to increase the possibility of success, we can block it with something on the other side so that the animal can only come from one side."
A large wooden box is placed on the left side of the mousetrap, and the noose trap is on the right side. If an animal really comes, it can only come from the right side, and the success rate of the second capture is greatly increased.
Now that we have the trap, all we have to do is wait patiently.
"When I'm nearby, mice won't dare approach my trap, so I have to get away as quickly as possible to increase the chances of success."
Bifang left the rat hole and started searching for usable supplies again. The first thing he needed was a water storage container. This was simple and there was no need to worry too much about it. A plastic water bottle would do.
"But because you can't guarantee what was originally in the bottle, especially in a factory, it's better to use a mineral water bottle, which is safer, but there's no guarantee that it was originally filled with mineral water, so we have to look at it first, then smell it, and then wash it. Only after completing these three steps can we use it. In fact, the best way is to boil it in boiling water. This is the best way and can also kill bacteria. You can't guarantee who will be the first person to use it, but that's too troublesome. Moreover, ordinary mineral water is basically PET plastic, and boiling it may release toxins, so I only do the first three steps."
[My God, this is too cautious. I would never have thought of this.]
[I can’t survive more than three days in the wilderness]
[Think too much, one day, no more]
【Be careful of the brave and strong! 】
Bifang picked up a mineral water bottle, there was still a lot of transparent liquid in it, which looked no different from clear water, but this did not mean that there was no problem. He opened the bottle and smelled it, and there was no peculiar smell.
Finally, Bifang took the bottle and came to another faucet. As expected, there was water here too. The rusty water contained a lot of iron oxide, and drinking it directly would put a heavy burden on the liver.
After all the rust disappeared, Bifang rinsed it and then started to fill it with water. Since he had drunk some on the top floor, this time he just filled it up and left.
It's still chilly in spring, and Abasso is at a fairly high latitude, so the temperature has been relatively low these days. I lost , and except for the elevator incident, I sweated less today, so I'm not that thirsty.
"If possible, it is better to boil the water. Judging from the current situation in Yimen, the water plant's filtration equipment may have been scrapped. Even if it is groundwater, it is not suitable for direct drinking due to urban pollution."
With the water source, the most critical moment had passed. Bifang breathed a sigh of relief and searched the factory carefully, but found nothing good.
"But this factory is huge. When we looked from a high building, we could see that there was more than one factory building. Maybe this is an industrial park. We might get some rewards by visiting other factories. It's a good place to camp, so I plan to make a home here and spend the remaining days there."
The factory has everything. Bifang doesn't want to miss this good opportunity. If possible, he can set up camp here. If he can search out some useful things and operate here for another two days, he is not even afraid of those thugs.
Of course, if there are too many people, there will be no moral ethics.
Leaving the factory is undoubtedly much easier than coming in, because there are quite a lot of materials available here.
After weighing the parts in his hand, Bifang swung them with force, breaking the glass on the high wall. Finally, he threw out a piece of hemp rope with an iron rod tied to one end. The iron rod was stuck on the window sill, and he reached out and pulled it. It was very firm.
In this way, Bifang pulled the hemp rope from inside the factory to the window, which was four or five meters high. He did the same thing when going down. He just rode on the top of the wall, changed the direction of the iron rod, pulled the rope, and slowly lowered himself.
After waiting for a few hours, maybe I can come in and see if there is any prey. People in the factory can't get in, but there are small holes in many places, big enough for a cat or even a dog.
As soon as it left the factory, Bifang spotted a good shelter on an overgrown path.
An overturned car!
"Haha, look what I found, an old car!"
Bifang excitedly came to the front of the car and tried to open the broken door. With a little force, he was able to open it.
[Wait, this thing can be inhabited? ]
[There are many scrapped cars on the roadside, why are you looking for the overturned ones? ]
[Yeah, yeah, why don’t we just find a building to deal with it, just like last night]
"No, it's too cold. I almost froze to death last night."
Bifang shook his head. This was what he thought last night. He didn't expect the temperature to drop sharply at night. He was frozen all night and felt better only when the sun rose in the morning.
As for why we specifically look for the overturned ones.
"Would you pay special attention to an overturned car?"
The netizens were stunned, but some of them seemed to be thinking about it and understood Bifang’s idea.
Yesterday's terrorist attack taught Bifang a lesson. This city is not only home to him as a wilderness traveler, but also to various thugs.
If you don't take them seriously, you might not be so lucky next time.
No one would pay special attention to an overturned car, and even taking a quick look at it would seem unnecessary.
"Old cars are safer and warmer than old buildings, so they can be renovated a little bit and they are good. But you have to be careful with them. You have to pay attention to the overturned car to make sure there are no gasoline leaks around. But after so long, if there are any, they will all leak out."
Bifang took a quick look around and began to dismantle the seat above his head.
Car seats are usually filled with foam, which is a great place to isolate yourself. They can also be used as a makeshift bed, which is very comfortable to lie on.
Maybe I can get some good sleep tonight.
