Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Seemingly aware of Yu Di's malice, the horse-faced rabbit raised his head and bared his teeth at her.

Yu Di raised her hands: "I didn't do anything."

After staring at each other for a while, the horse-faced rabbit finally lowered its head and lay on its paws, its back began to heave regularly.

Gently set a few thick logs into the fire, Yu Di folded her arms, covered her face with a parachute cloth, closed her eyes and sank into the sea of ​​consciousness.

With extreme concentration, Yu Di slowly distinguishes the noises in the environment that contain useful information.

"Hmm... east, to the east there is an ant nest... rotting insect corpses... fruit cores... a huge shadow is moving..."

"The season of love... There is plenty of food in the trunk... Hey, it's full of maggots! So many feet!"

"Deadly carnivorous flowers...in pieces...moving?"

The information recognized in the sea of ​​consciousness is the subjective "impression" of vocalizing animals. Sometimes the world in their eyes is different from that of human beings.

Yu Di temporarily put aside the information she could not understand, and drew a map of about [-] meters around her in her mind.

At daybreak tomorrow, she will set out south to find the river.There are many mosquitoes and flies beside the water, so follow the insects looking for them, that's right.

After memorizing this special biological map, Yu Di withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness, took a few deep breaths, and then tried to sleep.

The reddish flame and the occasional wagging tail of the horse-faced rabbit drove away most of the insects that came to feed and nocturnal rodents.But Yu Di was awakened several times by something moving around.

The thing was running too fast, and the area illuminated by the fire was too small. Yu Di didn't see what it looked like, and could only judge it based on the flashing shadow. It was only about half the size of a palm.

Could it be a mouse?
Yu Di rubbed her cold palms, retracted and continued to sleep.The temperature at night was probably less than ten degrees, no wonder the horse-faced rabbit had to sneak into the fire even at the risk of getting close to strange creatures.

Yu Di couldn't help but be thankful that the clothes on her body were thick enough, with a lining and a coat, and the material was still very strong, and the weaving density was quite high. The little thing that was half the size of a palm was bitten several times, but it didn't bite through.

In the middle of the night, the thing finally stopped.Sleeping and waking up, Yu Di waited until dawn.

The horse-faced rabbit leaned on the ground, stretched its buttocks, and pressed its nose against Yudi, as if to confirm whether she was still alive.

"I'm so hungry..."

Yu Di didn't sleep well at first, so she opened her eyes to see that it was dawn, and the surrounding area was covered with blue haze, so she turned off the fire, planning to go on the road while it was cool, to see if she could find something to eat on the way.

She unwrapped the parachute, folded it, and put it in the coffin. She piled up the other junk and scraped some wood shavings and put it in her pocket in case the next campsite didn't have dry enough kindling.

This pile of things added up to less than thirty catties.Yu Di fixed all the debris, tied the rope to the safety buckle on the top of the coffin, dragged the "luggage" in one hand, and took her wooden stick in the other, and walked southwest.

The horse-faced rabbit arched the extinguished ashes on the spot, looked at Yu Di suspiciously, but did not follow.

Yu Di used sticks to find the way to avoid falling into the pit, and also to scare away snakes and insects that might hide on these branches.

The temperature in the morning was only about ten degrees, and the mosquitoes were hiding.The dew dripped like light rain, soaking Yu Di's head and shoulders.

The terrain here is fairly flat, and Yu Di dragged the coffin for nearly four days before stopping in a clearing with sparse trees.

She was a little hungry, but she was still thirsty.After the sun rose, the temperature rose rapidly, reaching 23 degrees, and Yu Di suddenly regretted not collecting some dew to drink.

After clearing a piece of ground, Yu Di sat under the coffin to rest, planning to use her "little ability" to find out if there was something edible nearby.

Hmm...forget about the mushrooms, and the meaty worms...don't really want to put it in your mouth for the time being.On the contrary, there are quite a few small fruits that look like raspberries and should be edible.

Apparently she didn't have that luck finding a wild animal that had just been killed, but she did find a bird's nest.

It's just that the bird's nest is a bit big... I don't know if it's because of the angle of view.

The bird's nest is about 70 meters to her right. There are several huge eggs inside, which look quite delicious.

It's just that the position of the bird's nest is very strange. It's not on a tree, but between a bunch of low bushes.The soft and flexible branches and leaves are woven together, and there are many soft dead leaves inside.

Yu Di sharpened the front end of the wooden stick with slightly sharper coffin fragments, and tied another metal plate with a diameter about the length of her arm to her arm with a rope, and used it as a shield.

Based on the map drawn in her mind, she carefully identified the plants on the road, half to confirm that she was going in the right direction, and half to eat some fruits to fill her hungry and thirsty body.

The thinning of the trees and the thickening of the shrubs meant she was getting closer to the nest.Yu Di slowed down and lowered her body, trying not to make any obvious movement.

She stared vigilantly at the position diagonally above, and carefully discerned with her ears whether there were any living creatures moving near the bird's nest.

A strange smell wafted from the direction of the bird's nest, it smelled sour and bitter, with a bit of earthy smell unique to plants.

This smell seems to have the effect of repelling insects. The mosquitoes and flies that had been lingering in Yudi's ears before were gone, which made her feel a little better.

It's quiet around the nest.Only the sound of moths and mosquitoes beating their wings.Yu Di held her breath, and moved very slowly with a wooden stick to gently push away the last branch in front of her eyes.

ho-

The moment she saw the giant bird's nest, Yu Di's eyeballs almost popped out... How big is this bird to lay eggs nearly sixty centimeters long!
After the shock, Yu Di instantly realized the dangerous situation she was in.

Being able to lay such a large egg means that the bird may be even bigger than she is.Once discovered, it is impossible for her to escape unscathed.

But the faint throbbing pain in her stomach forced her to take a risk - there seemed to be something wrong with this body, as if she couldn't get enough to eat.

It stands to reason that after eating yesterday's snake, she would at least be able to persist until tonight to be so unbearably hungry, but when she woke up in the morning, she already had a strong desire to eat, and the few handfuls of fruit she picked up along the way failed to satisfy her hunger. its subsided.

Yu Di weighed it up - anyway, Big Bird doesn't seem to be at home, so fight!

She kept a low profile, slowly poked her head out from between the branches and leaves, looked carefully for a few seconds, then straightened up and came to the bird's nest.

This egg... looks a little too round, not like the shape she is familiar with.The two largest eggs are in the middle of the nest, and there are a few much smaller eggs in the corner, which seem to be less popular.

Yu Di reached out and picked up the smallest one and shook it, it was heavy, without the feeling of an empty shell.If this egg is cooked, it should be enough for two or three meals.

If you can't chew too much, it's hard to hold the big ones.After Yu Di succeeded, he immediately turned around and returned to the open space.

With the road opened when we came, it will be much faster to go back.

It was close to noon, and Yu Di had already begun to sweat.She leaned the coffin against a tree, covered it with parachute cloth, and set up a makeshift shade.

The eggs were placed on the ground, and the tender purple shells were already hot from the sun.Yu Di dug a hole in the ground and lit a fire.Without water, if she doesn't want to eat raw eggs, she can only bake them.

Yu Di didn't want to waste such a big egg.She put the concave coffin fragments together over the fire, placed the egg on the bowl-shaped fragment, and carefully poked a hole in the surface of the shell.

The egg liquid began to expand under high temperature heating, and Yudi could hear the click sound of the contact position between the eggshell and the metal fragments.Thanks to the small hole for pressure relief, the egg liquid does not all spill out.

After baking so slowly for more than half an hour, the egg was completely cooked.

Yu Di was so hot that her face was flushed, and she could only rely on berries to absorb water.She quickly put out the fire and peeled off the eggshell.

A strong aroma overflows from it-of course, there is also a lingering fishy smell.Yu Di inserted a small piece of it with a branch and put it in his mouth... delicious!
Although a bit old, Yu Di is still very satisfied to be able to eat such things.

In the jungle at noon, predators are usually temporarily dormant.Yu Di ate half of it and finally felt full.She didn't sleep well yesterday, and now she was a little sleepy, so she simply pulled off the parachute cloth to cover herself, and curled up on the ground to take a nap.

However, before she fell asleep, she heard footsteps not far away...
