The river water was so tempting that he didn't dare to drink it directly. He soaked it in water purification tablets and filtered it before drinking it happily.

He walked along the river for a while, wondering where the river led. The setting sun struggled out of the clouds, but fell towards the water, falling in the direction of the current, and finally floated away along the water.

When the surrounding area became dark, he realized that it was already night.

There are no people in the wild, no houses, no lights, and no canteens.

Lanze brought a cold light lamp, compressed energy bars and vitamins.

He has a bracelet to read the news and listen to music, and he doesn't feel lonely.

At night, he lay undressed in the wild, with his head resting on his backpack, and his body wrapped in aluminum foil to keep out moisture.

A large piece of shiny, thin plastic paper served as his quilt and raincoat. It was quite cold to sleep like this.

Sleeping in the open in the middle of winter without even bringing a blanket is like committing suicide.

When he woke up in the morning, he felt that his eyes were sore, his nose was itchy, and his throat was uncomfortable. Under the rising sun, he sneezed a few times, feeling more energetic, and then started on the road again.

After walking in the wild toward the sunset for several days, Lanze began to head toward the highway.

Because he finally realized a problem: he came out to seek death, not to become a savage.

The food is almost gone. Supplies can only be found where there are traces of people.

In the wild, although you can see deer with antlers looking up from a distance and rabbits galloping; you can also see the footprints left by unknown animals on the wet and muddy river beaches; but how to turn animals into food?

, there are still huge technical obstacles.

Birds in this season are not planning to have children, so bird eggs are impossible to obtain. Adult birds seem to be harder to catch than animals.

Primitive man was once very fierce. The ancestors of modern man set out from Africa, passed through the huge landmass of Asia, and finally reached the two continents of America. During the expedition, countless animals were exterminated along the way.

In the subsequent evolutionary process of human beings, technological changes from generation to generation have promoted the change of civilization, with each wave becoming higher and higher. However, while the collective survival ability has increased exponentially, it has also domesticated individual people. Human beings are becoming more and more sophisticated.

The greater the individual, the smaller he becomes.

From a distance, Lanze looked at a deer of unknown species with big eyes and small eyes. It looked really dumbfounded.

But Lan Ze felt that he might be dumber than a deer.

After all, animals are living well in the desolate wilderness.

As for humans, the grass and shrubs found everywhere can only be regarded as decorations on the earth.

Humans cannot digest cellulose and can only eat tender branches and leaves, large roots and fruits rich in starch and fructose.

Even people who claim to be lifelong vegetarians are picky eaters and malnourished compared with real vegetarian animals.

There are no tender branches and leaves on the winter earth.

The only remaining green leaves are also dark in color and covered with thick wax, like a carapace.

I don’t even know where the fruit is.

As for rhizomes that are rich in nutrients, probably only primitive people have the ability to look through the wilderness and find the edible parts of underground tubers.

In the days that followed, Lanze kept walking along the road.

He replenished consumables at the vending machine at a small roadside rest stop, then left the roadside slightly and walked slowly.

At night, he would sleep on a seat at a small rest stop, in a place with a roof, so he didn't have to worry about rain or snow. Or he could simply sleep in the wild on the roadside, wrapping himself tightly in aluminum foil and plastic paper to avoid getting wet in the rain.

When he encounters a fork in the road, he checks the map on his bracelet to make a decision.

He looked for the direction of sunset. That should be the place of sleep.

At the same time, I also deliberately avoid cities.

As a result, the roadside he walked along was always desolate. In fact, he would not see a car passing by for several hours.

Most of the population of this populous country is concentrated in less than 300 large cities with a population of more than 5 million. Among them, there are more than 100 cities with a population of more than 10 million.

The population in the west of the country is more concentrated than in the east due to the economic structure and the advantage of late-mover cities.

After all, the so-called city is a structure that can be embedded deep in the earth's surface and exist independently regardless of the plateau, Gobi, and desert terrain.

The Shenzhou government has worked very hard to stimulate population growth.

Unfortunately, the 2.4 billion people still account for only one-fifth of the global population. Between cities, there is wilderness everywhere.

Food, vegetables, meat, water circulation, material circulation, most of the food and daily products can be self-sufficient by relying on the city's own output. The flow of necessities and waste in the city is like breathing.

Farms in cities are set up inside buildings and produce food, most vegetables and most meat. In addition to consuming more energy, the extreme concentration of resources also means that the efficiency is incredibly high. No matter how much energy is consumed, fusion nuclear power plants will also

Affordable.

The ecology of China's land is quite good, but it's too empty.

The outdoor air away from the city is very fresh.

Although the weather is cold, there is a refreshing and pleasant smell everywhere, and the smells along the river and among the grass have their own characteristics.

Lan Zefeng slept in the open air and only had runny nose for a few days at the beginning. After that, he became healthier and more energetic.

He carried very little water with him, which was in a small kettle.

Water itself is very heavy. This small amount of water is for drinking. If you drink it slowly, it will probably be enough for two days.

In this way, if he couldn't find a water source, he wouldn't be able to wash up.

Originally, he didn't bring a toothbrush with him when he went out. During the few days of walking in the wilderness, he didn't brush his teeth and relied on chewing oral tablets. He always felt that his mouth couldn't be rinsed clean after rinsing it several times. So after finding the road, he walked along the road.

I went to one small rest stop after another and finally replenished my toothpaste and toothbrush.

There are always dozens or even hundreds of kilometers between small rest stops along the highway.

This distance is enough to walk for about a day.

Sometimes, you can see passers-by who have parked their cars at rest stops. Most of the time, you can't see anyone at all.

Only the equipment stands alone under the roof supported by columns.

The main facilities at rest stops are simple toilets, sinks, vending machines or unmanned convenience stores selling food and commonly used medicines, gastrointestinal medicines, cold medicines, etc. There are only a few items such as towels and toothbrushes. There are also emergency charging stations and self-service

The mechanical tool boxes are all for cars.

The large service area is much more comfortable, with a buffet restaurant, supermarket, hourly guest rooms, and a car repair shop. It is full of the atmosphere of human civilization.

The key is that you can still see the staff.

However, as soon as he saw the outline of a large service area building in the distance, Lan Ze chose to take a detour without hesitation.

He was unkempt, covered in dirt, and felt a bit miserable.

Of course, after death, people don't care about their image, and they can't stop maggots from feasting and carousing on their bodies. Isn't this still alive?
