Chapter 24: Enter the Wilderness Again

In the end, the policeman didn’t ask to check the package because he already saw the words written on the courier receipt—a tent and ropes.

Most importantly, he had his own business to deal with and wasn’t free now.

Feng Jun panicked a little, because there were more than ropes in the package, like a knife and crossbow.

These materials were what he had been looking forward to. With them, he could go to the wilderness space to start his adventure.

He separately took away two motorcycles last night, which cost him almost 15 energy points in total.

That was the best he could do.

Now that his energy points were less than 40, he had to find a solution to the supply of energy points as soon as possible.

He could charge himself in the real world, but it was too expensive and time-consuming.

Feng Jun felt that he could enter the space again to see what opportunities he could find.

Everything was ready, and even motorcycles were available, so he just needed wild survival equipment.

Before that, he had to charge more to increase his energy points as much as possible.

In the following three days, apart from dining outside, he stayed in his rented room all day long.

At this time, the old man stopped turning off the main switch, and it seemed that he had negotiated the price with other people.

Most of the time, Feng Jun used city electricity to charge. He had mastered the correct charging method. The old man also put on a thick fuse. As long as he charged carefully, there would be no problem.

Unfortunately, the electricity wasn’t strong, and the wires in the factory were old, which couldn’t bear much load.

Because of that, Feng Jun also bought a multimeter to ensure that the current wouldn’t exceed 10 amperes when he was charging.

In that case, the speed of charging was far behind that of the generator.

Feng Jun continuously charged himself for three days. When he felt that he couldn’t do this any longer, he decisively entered the wilderness space with a lot of supplies on the third night.

In the wilderness, it was still the morning when he left last time. The red sun just rose. The wind wasn’t strong, but it was still quite cold.

Feng Jun had already piled up a lot of things here, and this time he brought in a lot of supplies. First of all, he found a place to store the supplies. Thinking of the magic of the ruby, he believed it wasn’t safe if he put the supplies next to the ruins.

Therefore, he chose the foot of the mountain, which was more than 20 miles away, where there were trees and stones. It was a perfect place to hide things.

Feng Jun first changed his equipment. He wore a bulletproof vest, which was said to be genuine, and a camouflage training suit. He put on a pair of rough canvas trousers that had been waterproofed on the lower body. It could also protect him from the cold wind in addition to the good abrasion resistance.

On his clothes and pants, there were 17 or 18 pockets as well as various straps. If properly planned, daggers, pistols, emergency bandages, kettles, machetes, crossbows, and flashlights could all be arranged well.

However, considering that he needed to ride a motorcycle, Feng Jun didn’t put many things on his body. In the process of driving fast, a plastic straw would be enough to cause serious damage to him if accidents happened.

He had two motorcycle helmets when he put away the two motorcycles, but he didn’t put one on.

The wind here was strong, but he knew it very well that a helmet would obstruct the vision in this unfamiliar environment.

The two motorcycles he brought in were in better condition than he thought. With extremely strong power and a firm grip, they ran very steadily on this rugged ground.

He roughly tested the performance of the motorcycle. After that, he strapped on various supplies and went straight to the foot of the mountain.

It was really difficult to ride on a wilderness that hadn’t been leveled. Fortunately, he had a modified motorcycle with great power.

Feng Jun couldn’t imagine whether he was able to move ahead if he bought an ordinary motorcycle by himself.

It didn’t take him a long time to ride over 20 miles, but the bumps of the motorcycle made him sweat in this cold weather.

As the terrain increased, the motorcycle became more and more difficult to ride. Feng Jun looked around and finally chose a relatively flat place. He then decided to take a rest there, so he looked for a place to hide his supplies nearby.

However, just when he was more than two hundred meters away from there, a black shadow suddenly bounced on the ground.

Feng Jun squeezed the clutch abruptly and stepped on the brakes. “No way, is there a snake?”

Snakes could bounce from the ground. He knew that because he had encountered them when he was a child. He was terrified at the time, and when he went back home, he cried to his grandparents saying that he had encountered a flying snake.

His grandparents told him that it was a snake that was scared by him, and it didn’t hesitate to “fly” away.

Now this snake was the same. Obviously, it felt the vibration brought by the motorcycle to the ground and thought that an extraordinary beast was coming, so it “flew” away in a hurry.

This was just an unimportant episode, but it was enough to remind Feng Jun that here wasn’t completely harmless to humans and animals. There were still lives and dangers hidden in the dark.

The color of the snake was khaki, about one and a half meters long, and it was the size of a child’s wrist. It wasn’t very big, but it was definitely not small.

After this accident, Feng Jun stopped the motorcycle, and he carefully probed the surrounding area. He held a Kukri in his hand. Once he saw bushes and grass, he would cut it without hesitation.

He didn’t encounter snakes again, but he found two scorpion-like gray-brown insects. Each of them was as long as an adult’s palm. Their tails cocked and could spray venom.

Luckily, Feng Jun reacted fast enough and went ahead to cut them with his knife.

The Kukri in his hand was said to be made of high-carbon steel, and it was unusually sharp and was able to easily scratch a piece of steel.

However, even with such a full blow, he failed to cut the scorpion in half and could only cut it open.

Another scorpion jumped up in the air, spraying venom again.

Feng Jun waved his knife and quickly cut it in the air.

The second cut was even more powerful than the first one, but the scorpion only fell to the ground without any damage. It moved a bit slowly and looked like it lost its consciousness for a short while after being hit by the great force.

Feng Jun wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity. He raised the knife in his hand and finally killed the two scorpions.

After that, he exhaled a long breath. “F*ck, it’s difficult.”

Scorpions were hard to kill, and their venom was also extremely terrifying. His chest and abdomen were splashed, and his camouflage uniform was corroded into a big hole. A large area on his body armor had also sunken in, as if it had been burned by strong acid.

Feng Jun felt lucky that he survived.

After getting rid of the two scorpions, Feng Jun began to sweat again. He didn’t dare to take off his clothes right now and had to stand still to cool them down.

About half an hour later, he found a place where he could hide the materials. It was a large rock with a restrained root and an angle of more than ninety degrees to the ground. It wasn’t afraid of the sun and rain.

Moreover, this area was a little higher than the surrounding area, so it wouldn’t be filled with rainwater.

Most importantly, not far in front of the stone, there were relatively dense bushes growing. It was difficult for other people to see through from a distance if they didn’t pay much attention.

Feng Jun unloaded his stuff and thought for a while. He then left the motorcycle here and walked away on foot. He had to ride the other motorcycle over and move his supplies at the same time.

Feng Jun didn’t walk slowly and spent less than two hours on the road. He also had to protect himself from possible threats along the way, so he didn’t fully focus on the road.

By the time he arrived in the ruins, the sun had already risen a little. With or without the sun, the Gobi Desert was totally different.

The temperature started to rise. Feng Jun rode his second motorcycle and moved his stuff twice. He then finally moved all the materials to his new warehouse.

The reason why there were so many things was that he brought a lot of gasoline in addition to his drinking water and survival equipment in the wild. Without gasoline, motorcycles would be useless.

In fact, it wasn’t easy for him to get the gasoline. Nowadays, no one would go to the gas station to buy gasoline with a pot, and the old man helped Feng Jun with it.

Mr. Six had connections in Zhengyang City, so it wasn’t a big problem to get some gasoline. He could also make a small amount of money by selling it to Feng Jun.

In short, he had overcome many difficulties. The materials that Feng Jun brought in this time didn’t weigh a thousand catties, but it was at least nine hundred catties. Water, food, and gasoline accounted for most of the space and weight.

Around the warehouse, he simply used stones to build it up, deliberately making it look like a natural formation, minimizing artificial traces.

When he started to work, he couldn’t feel that time was flying by, and it was soon noon.

At this hour, the sun was burning. Feng Jun disliked the heat and went to sit in the shade. He then opened a bottle of mineral water and made up his mind to explore later after smoking another cigarette.

It was actually quite hot here at noon, but he still daren’t remove the protection from his body. As a person who disliked heat, it was great torture.

A more reasonable choice would be that he could wait for the sun to set and walk around before coming back to rest. He could hurry up and explore around the next day in the morning.

However, Feng Jun didn’t have patience.

This time he came in with a lot of supplies, but he didn’t know how long he needed to stay here. If he couldn’t find a clean water source, the water he brought could only support him for a month and a half.

He didn’t have much time and couldn’t waste time on meaningless waiting.

In fact, he regretted it a little now. It would be great if he could bring the generator in. During the day, he could explore around and come back at night to recharge while he was resting.
