NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Surviving at the last moment
I felt depressed for a while, but it was better to live than die. Now that I have a system, are I still worried about not improving my physical fitness?
Bracing himself, I looked at the reminder section next to me that looked like a sticky note.
The first line is a countdown.
"Jiliang, what does this mean?"
"The system is currently at a low level. The host can only experience the plane once a day, and each time is half an hour."
"..."
When he saw the incredible time difference just now, Gu Zishu thought about how convenient it would be to do things in the future, but in the end he could only stay here for half an hour.
After all, she thought too much!
Looking at the time, there were still 25 minutes left, Gu Zishu couldn't sit still.
Weak and strong-willed, he stood up, picked up a small stick and walked aimlessly in a direction.
The primitive plane is great. It’s mentioned in the novel. Everything is available here. If you look around, your dream of getting rich may come true.
Even if you can't, find some food, increase your physical strength, and go back to get out of the soil.
With his panting body, Gu Zishu walked around here for more than 20 minutes, from the dense forest to the stone land with sparse trees.
The air is fresh, the trees are big, the leaves are green, and the stones are crisp.
He didn't find anything useful. Gu Zishu felt a little incredible. Even in modern times, he could dig up a few wild vegetables by walking around in the woods.
Has this been swept away by some jungle boss?
"Jiliang, is there anyone else in this plane besides me?" Gu Zishu asked doubtfully.
"Each system comes with different planes. You can be sure that you are the only one experiencing this plane." Ji Liang said with certainty.
"That's weird." Gu Zishu murmured. Could it be that he was possessed by a non-chief and got nothing in this system plane?
His eyes scanned the surroundings carefully, not even missing the trees.
"Warning! Warning! A tiger has discovered the host 100 meters away from the host. Please make a judgment as soon as possible!" Gu Zishu was looking for something when an alarm suddenly sounded in his mind.
When she heard the content clearly, she felt bad. She might be crushed to death by the earth when she went back, or she might be eaten by a tiger here. There were two ways to die. For a while, she couldn't tell which way was worse.
Gu Zishu raised his eyes and took a look at the tiger first. It was indeed very fierce. Those who didn't know it thought it was a minibus coming from the original plane.
At this moment, his two round eyes were staring at him, and Gu Zishu clearly felt that he was being targeted.
He pinched his uncontrollable legs with his hands, and Gu Zishu looked away, "Gu Zishu, you can do it. You may be able to survive if you try hard. With the appearance of his own body, maybe he saw a fatter one." The prey will give up on itself.”
While comforting myself, I planned an escape route.
While the tiger was observing him, Gu Zishu ran away without hesitation.
He used his 4 speed to the limit.
"Why doesn't the host choose to go back? You are obviously not at the same speed level as this tiger?" Ji Liang was puzzled by Gu Zishu's overestimation of his capabilities. Doesn't it stand to reason that human beings generally tend to adopt safe solutions?
"I'll go back and be buried directly. I can still try my best here." Gu Zishu replied quickly and immediately closed his mouth. He was so tired that he felt like his lungs were about to burst.
As the tiger got closer and closer, not only the lungs but also the heart were about to burst out.
"How long is it until half an hour?" Gu Zishu, who was struggling with the tiger to the limit, didn't forget to take the time to ask.
All the animals around here were probably eaten by tigers. I ran around for a long time and didn't see anything. No wonder the tiger took a liking to my skinny self. He was probably greedy for meat.
44 seconds left.
Du Miorunian was talking about Gu Zishu's current state and it would be difficult to go back. She just wanted to find a way out before the tiger caught him.
Moving along the limit, I miraculously avoided the tiger's giant mouth.
Running wildly in circles in the woods.
Occasionally, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a deer grazing leisurely.
Oh my god, I finally saw the rescuer.
Before Gu Zishu could be happy, he felt a gust of wind blowing towards him.
A huge tiger claw was already in front of his face.
My life is over!
"Today's time has been used up." The system's voice sounded.
The tiger paws in front of Gu Zishu turned completely black, and he lay down in the dirt bag again.
She was glad that she managed to survive at the last moment.
But what follows seems to be another process of waiting for death.
And although there is no change in the position where she is lying now and where she was lying just now, she will be out of breath and her whole brain will be dizzy due to the violent running just now.
Will you die if you lie down after strenuous exercise?
As soon as this thought came to mind, he was interrupted by the system's voice, "The host triggered the hidden plot and was not afraid of the tiger.
The reward is a tiger bone whistle, which has been put into the backpack. "
……
It's cracked. In this situation, it's only fair to reward an excavator to dig it out.
What can a tiger bone whistle do? Can it save myself?
"The tiger bone whistle is made of white tiger bones and can summon tigers." The system seemed to hear the thoughts in Gu Zishu's mind and immediately explained the purpose of the tiger bone whistle.
so...
Gu Zishu carefully recalled the memory of the original owner, but he had never heard that there was a tiger on the mountain where the person was buried.
To put it bluntly, I had just escaped from a tiger's mouth, and now I was summoning a tiger to come and dig me out.
Isn’t it that the old man is tired of living after eating arsenic?
"So host, you have a better way to get out?"
……
Why is it that other people’s systems are omnipotent, but my own system is just like this…
Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, the groggy Gu Zishu couldn't care so much, and directly took out the tiger bone whistle from the system backpack, thinking about it appearing in his mouth.
Sure enough, something appeared in his mouth.
After blowing hard, a long and thick sound came out directly.
Gu Zishu couldn't breathe, and due to hunger and low blood sugar, he fainted immediately.
When Gu Zishu regained consciousness, he found that the place he was in had changed.
It was the room where the original person lived at stepgrandpa's house, and there were people talking outside.
"Your family is too ridiculous. Isn't this man a good person? Why did he send people up the mountain! If I hadn't heard the sound, he would have died!" An old man said angrily.
"We don't understand this either. He was so angry at that time that it would be uncomfortable for us to see him at home. Isn't it important that a person be laid to rest?" A woman's voice sounded, and she sounded quite old.
"Let him be buried in peace. This is human life. Can you rush here like this?" The old man was very angry. If he wasn't a gentle man, he would probably point at his nose and curse.
"That's not enough!" The woman was a little unconvinced.
"That's because you were temporarily breathless due to drowning!" the old man shouted.
"This is not Doctor Zhang. You are not at home. We are not educated. How can we know so much? Something happened to the child. We were all frightened to death. The whole family was very sad. We can't just leave the person there, right?" the woman continued. explain.
"Doctor Zhang, thanks to you this time, we saved our child's life. No matter what, it was our mistake. When the child recovers, I will ask her to kowtow to you at home." Another old man said hoarsely.
"The child is destined to have his own life. Thank me for not having to worry about it. You can't be so careless when things happen in the future. After all, it's a human life.
The child is not in good health, so he needs to take good care of him and eat good food, such as eggs and milk. "The old man was also a warm-hearted person. He explained, turned around and walked outside.
"Doctor Zhang, please walk slowly."
The footsteps walked away, and Gu Zishu heard the sound of the door closing.
"The nosy old man really takes himself seriously. He also drinks milk and eats eggs. I haven't eaten that many times at my age. It's so good for a girl, and I'm not afraid of shortening my life." The old lady didn't. He muttered angrily.
"Okay, just say a few words. Now it's time to think about what to do when the person comes back, right?" the old man whispered.
Gu Zishu in the room remained silent and continued to listen to her step-grandparents talking.
