Chapter 118 One Person’s Planet (13)

"Chen?" Birdman was a little confused.

Yu Di looked at the sky and said softly: "Chens are those shining things in the sky. There are countless unknowns above. The land you and I are standing on is also the same place."

"Chen." Birdman nodded as if he understood, and pointed at himself, "Chen."

"Yes, Chen."

"Two." Birdman pointed to the words on the ground and stretched out two fingers.

"What two?"

"Yu, flute, two."

"..." You kid, you still want a surname, you are so particular. Yu Di drew a circle on Yu with his fingertips, "You can take my surname as Yu."

"Yu, Chen." Birdman imitated the pronunciation seriously,

"Yu Chen." Yu Di smiled and nodded.

"painting."

Yu Di took the branch and wrote the birdman's new name on the ground.

The birdman now found something interesting - he wrote his name over and over again, and after he practiced it, he wrote his name on the wooden sign at the entrance of the cave, right next to his "portrait".

In addition to collecting supplies from everywhere, Birdman stayed by Yu Di's side and continued to learn to speak and write from her.

They hunted and did some chores in the morning, huddled in the cave to rest when it was hot at noon and afternoon, and guarded the laser transmitter at night.

This kind of life lasted for more than thirty days, and the space station still didn't respond at all - even if it dropped something?

While sending letters to the space station, Yu Di was not idle either. She had basically figured out the situation in the jungle.

The rotation direction of this planet is opposite to where Yu Di came from, which is from east to west. The sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

It has no accompanying satellites and no moon, but it has sparse meteorite rings, which is why there are such dense stars in the night sky.

The southwest side of the jungle is connected to the ocean. To the north is wilderness and highland, which looks like a grassland; to the east is a bottomless rift valley with no end. It may be formed by plate rupture. Yu Di doesn't know the other side of the rift valley.

What is the situation.

Judging from the climate, she should be located between the Tropic of Cancer and the equator, closer to the equator. And a hundred years ago, there were no large cities nearby.

Yu Di planned to wait another thirty days. If sixty days passed and the space station still did not respond to her signal, she would set off to find human remains.

In the past thirty days, except for the other two coffins, the space station had given Yu Di nothing.

She had no choice but to accept the "gifts" from these people with tears in her eyes, and then began to prepare for the new journey.

Finding the remains of human cities is not that simple. She does not understand the previous geographical environment and urban distribution on this planet, and can only rely on some experience to judge the location of cities.

I don’t know if the river here has always been so fishy or if it became like this because of the nuclear war. But even if it is not drinkable, the river is the best environment for transporting bulk goods. It is the best clue to find the city.

Birdman seemed reluctant to let Yu Di leave. As soon as Yu Di started to pack things, he just grabbed something in his hand and pushed it in front of Yu Di's eyes, asking her how to pronounce it and how to write it. Seeing him like this, Yu Di felt sad in his heart.

She was quite touched. Out of respect for this friendship, she chose a clear night to talk seriously about this matter with Birdman.

The content was too complicated for Birdman to understand. But he understood that going to the wilderness was what Yu Di wanted to do.

"I" he wanted to say that he wanted to go too, but his experience in the wilderness as a child really made him afraid of places without shelter above his head.

Yu Di saw his embarrassment and said with a smile: "I'll go by myself. You stay here and look after the house."

"Danger."

"I will protect myself."

Birdman stood up and said, "It's dangerous to be alone."

Yu Di looked at him blankly.

"I'll go. Wait for me."

After saying that, the birdman ran away without looking back.

"What are you doing?!" It was night after all, so Yu Di didn't dare to make too loud a sound, and the laser transmitter was still running. She could only watch the birdman jump down the hillside, disappear into the jungle, and didn't come back all night.

This kid, after teaching him how to talk for so long, he still doesn’t know how to communicate when something happens.

Yu Di continued to guard the transmitter until the space station crossed the sky for the sixtieth time, then he collected his things and returned to the cave. He thought that no matter what happened to the birdman, he would come back during the day, but for three days in a row, there was no movement at all. Yu Di

She had already packed her things and was about to hit the road. She waited in the cave for two more days and then went to the place where he often collected food, dew and hunting, but could not find anyone.

Yu Di has never had any big obstacles when it comes to separation.

She unceremoniously took away several naked snake bags and all the dried meat, and left pictures and messages on the walls of the cave for the birdman.

"I, Yu Di, am going to the wilderness. You, Yu Chen, take good care of your home. I'm fine, don't worry."

Throwing down the burned branches, Yu Di clapped her hands and looked around the cave where she had lived for a long time - it really looked like a primitive home.

She left behind two sets of clothes and shoes, some parachute fragments and ropes, everything she needed to live in the jungle. This was a road of no return, and the birdmen would need these artifacts more than she did.

"Well, goodbye." Yu Di said to the empty cave.

The sky was just right and cloudless. Yu Di dragged his luggage and left Birdman's home step by step, heading in the direction he had planned.

Yu Di was not accustomed to the sudden absence of his companions at first. But after working hard on the road for a long time, that was all.

Soon, Yu Di came to the edge of the jungle. There were only faint traces of the movement of the Smiling Face Tree, and most of them were covered up by the overgrown plants.

She didn't stop and went downstream along the river.

The wilderness is not as easy to get food as in the jungle. Yu Di lived frugally and observed the environment while rushing to see if there was anything edible.

She had tasted several different grass roots, and they tasted terrible and even poisonous. Even after biting off a piece no bigger than a fingernail, her mouth was swollen for the whole day...

Fortunately, there are always insects to eat.

It is strange to say that in this wilderness, there are no animals of any kind except insects, and there are herbs and plants everywhere.

Yu Di was originally very wary of this. Perhaps it was the threat that the birdman was afraid of that made this place so deserted.

It's just that after walking for so long, she still didn't encounter anything, so she felt a little relaxed after all.

The ground in the wilderness was flat, making it much easier to walk than in the jungle. There was no interference from irrelevant things, and Yu Di concentrated on his way. In this undifferentiated environment, he occasionally fell into a trance.

The rare wind in the jungle made him run happily in the wilderness. Yu Di felt the wind blowing across the ground and brushed against his fingertips, listening to the shallow and inconspicuous sound it stirred in the air.

Traveling day and night, before running out of ammunition and food, Yu Di finally saw a glimmer of hope of finding the city——

A sudden stretch of black land, exposed so conspicuously on the ground covered with weeds.

That's...asphalt?!
