Ban Xia looked up at the surrounding environment, she was surrounded by buildings with lush vegetation.
There are 15 buildings on the left and 17 buildings on the right. A small road passes between the two buildings. Both sides of the asphalt road are dense shrubs, impenetrable, and the air is almost sticky with the smell of plants.
Plants also breathe, have photosynthesis, have respiration, they are slow, weak and imperceptible, but when you are in a world surrounded by plants, sticking together, flourishing and growing wildly, you will be surprised that they merge into a huge A living body, this living body has hundreds of millions of pores all over its body, each of which is breathing. Every deep breath of this huge slime-like green creature before the girl's eyes is endlessly long.
Pinellia stood at the position where the tree trunk had just been bent and dropped, squatted down and picked up a wrench, stood a wooden hook upside down on the soil, and drove it vertically into the ground. Expose the depth of the hook.
Then hold it tightly with both hands, pull it up hard, and pull it out until the face is red and can't pull it out, then confirm that it is nailed, and the trigger part is ready.
This is the fixed hook, which is responsible for keeping the mechanism still and stable.
The second hook is a movable hook, which is responsible for triggering the organ.
Banxia took out the second wooden hook, chiseled two holes at the end of the movable hook, and inserted two nylon ropes into them.
These two ropes are of different lengths, one is half a meter long and the other is two meters long. The functions of the two ropes are different. The short nylon rope will be tied to the top of the tree later, and it is responsible for pulling the curved trunk to the ground. On the ground, the other long one needs to be extended to create a loop for catching prey.
The girl climbed up the tree again and bent the trunk. She lay down on the bent oak tree and tied the nylon rope with the hook to the top of the trunk and tied a strong knot so that the hook hung on the top of the tree. , After doing this, Banxia stretched her arms hard and hooked the hook to the fixed hook on the ground.
The grooves of the two wooden hooks fit into each other, and the curved oak is fixed.
The girl carefully let go of the arm pressing on the trunk, and the oak trunk slowly rebounded until the nylon rope was stretched straight and stopped moving. At this moment, the huge elastic force competed with the fixed hook driven into the ground in the vertical direction. , the two hooks are in a tug-of-war, achieving a balance, and the entire trap mechanism remains in an n-shape.
The first nylon rope is tied.
Next is the second nylon rope.
The second nylon rope was also tied to the movable hook. The girl stepped back and gently lengthened it, putting it five or six steps away, and tied a slipknot loop with a diameter of 30 to 40 centimeters.
The rope loop was laid flat on the grass, and Banxia found a few small tree branches, inserted them into the soil, and supported the rope loop in the air, about 20 to 30 centimeters from the ground.
At this point the setting of the trap is complete.
This is a simple noose trap, the principle of operation is obvious, the curved trunk provides elasticity, it is pulled firmly on the ground by the hook, if it is not touched, it will remain stable, but if an animal steps into the loop, If the animal is trapped by the gathered rope loop, the animal will inevitably pull the hook horizontally when struggling to escape. The two hooks can maintain stability in the vertical direction, but they will be unhooked once they are pulled horizontally.
Once the hook is unhooked, the trunk that has accumulated huge elastic potential energy will be released suddenly, and the trunk will bounce back immediately, while pulling the rope to lift the prey into the air together.
It's like an ancient bouncy trebuchet.
The principle is very simple, but very effective.
The teacher once said that in the post-apocalyptic era, the most basic rule of survival is to lie flat, the less tossing, the longer you will live.
You can carry a pistol and a bow and arrow, but that can't be your main means of hunting, animals are dangerous, both predators and herbivores are dangerous to humans, so try to avoid confrontation with them , If you can use dirty tricks, use dirty tricks, and if you can use traps, use traps.
The girl let out a long breath, and stood on the grass moving her sore wrists.
The rope circle is still empty for the time being, and some bait will have to be placed in the center of the rope circle at that time. Ban Xia guesses that the uninvited guest is a fierce predator, so the bait should be meat.
Meat alone is not enough.
To be on the safe side, rat poison had to be added to the bait.
In case what is caught is a leopard or even a brown bear, Ban Xia is not sure whether this simple trap can restrain such a huge and powerful creature, so he mixes some poison in the bait.
Just using traps is not enough, you also need to use medicine!
Poison them to death!
It's a pity that the rat poison has not been delivered yet. Three or four days ago, Pinellia told bg4mxh that I need rat poison, but I don't know what went wrong.??The capsule has never been delivered to me.
The night before yesterday, he asked himself to smash the wall at the gate of the community, saying that the time capsule was hidden there.
Yesterday I smashed it all afternoon, but I couldn't break it open.
The solid cement is too strong, and you want to open it unless you have heavy machinery or blast it with explosives.
Banxia only had a pitiful engineer shovel in her hand, and no matter how she chiseled it, she could only leave a few white marks. She was sore from digging, but the concrete wall remained unmoved.
She really can't do anything about it.
"This is outrageous."
said the girl.
"This matter is out-of-spec-!"
The girl yelled at the concrete wall.

Pinellia picks up dead leaves and weeds, and gently covers the trap mechanism and nylon rope until they blend together. This is a necessary concealment measure, and the bright rope circle can easily arouse the vigilance of animals.
After doing all this, she walked around the trap a few more times, making sure that the loops could not be seen from any angle.
The girl resisted the idea of ??stepping her foot into the rope ring to try.
People are such strange creatures, they always like to test repeatedly on the verge of death, if you draw a circle on the ground, 100% people will step on it, if you don¡¯t step on it, you will feel uncomfortable, Ban Xia dispels this dangerous thought in your mind, in case As soon as the mechanism is touched, she will be hung from a tree, and there is no one here to help her.
Ban Xia packed up and left the scene, erasing traces of her actions by the way.
It's okay to put the trap here, and come back when the bait is ready.
She is going to prepare the next trap.
One trap is not enough, so set up several more. If it is not for limited resources, Ban Xia even wants to put traps all over the Plum Blossom Villa.
Ban Xia plans to set four traps at different locations inside the Meihua Villa community. She doesn't believe that she won't be able to catch the uninvited guest. This is human wisdom. Even if she is the last human in the world, she can't be looked down upon by those beasts.
This is the duel between the girl and the beast.
She carried her bag and bow and arrows, and walked back along the asphalt road. Tonight, she had to urge bg4mxh to bring the rat poison quickly. Of course, don't seal it in cement this time.
In the alleyway between the two buildings, there was a howling wind blowing head-on, and all the vegetation swayed with the wind in an instant, undulating layer upon layer like waves. Ban Xia suddenly stopped and turned his head to look around suspiciously.
