Man vs. Wild

Strong winds roared from all directions. The moment I jumped out of the cabin and my body floated in the air, the fierce cold wind at high altitude made me spin around and lose my sense of direction. This was a terrifying experience, but this process only lasted a few seconds.

During the accelerated descent, the falling speed gradually became constant, the sense of direction was quickly rediscovered, and it became relatively easier to control the body's flight path.

Although the wind was too strong and made me feel a little uncomfortable, a feeling of freedom filled my chest. If there were any words to describe it, it would probably be dripping with joy. That kind of pendulum seemed to be free from all restraints and soar freely in the world.

The joy of the sky. Okork City, a megacity with a population of 7.8 million, is located 600 kilometers northwest of the megacity of Luoan Central City. It was built along the criss-crossing Grand Canal and is surrounded by dense

Surrounded by forests, it is famous for its developed forestry, agriculture and animal husbandry, as well as its beautiful natural scenery and pure and fresh air.

Now I jumped from an altitude of more than 7,800 meters and fell freely. Although sometimes the passing clouds and fog temporarily blocked my sight, I could still clearly see the entire city of Okork.

The jungle is denser than imagined, and the Grand Canal is constantly flowing. It is said that the local area is rich in various types of wood, animal products, natural medicinal materials, wild vegetables, etc., and humans and animals coexist harmoniously.

I remembered a video I saw on the news before the fall of Okork City. Several squirrels that were not afraid of humans took the initiative to jump on human shoulders or tables to beg for food.

But that was a long time ago. Now the whole world is hit by a sudden catastrophe. According to Professor Gable, the city of Okork was hit by a major earthquake on the day of the disaster, although most of the people were evacuated in time.

, and many civilians still lost their lives in the disaster.

The impact of this earthquake even affected the surrounding central city of Luoan, 600 kilometers away.

There are so many homeless people that Luoan Central City cannot accommodate that many people, even if a disaster area is built around it, so a few people in Okork City are still placed in relatively low-stricken areas.

The city's outer areas are lightly affected, while striving to recover the severely affected areas as soon as possible.

However, it didn't take long for the rescue and disaster relief work to be hindered, and the soldiers were unable to move forward. From deep in the center of the city, a type of energy radiation that had never been detected was spreading outwards, affecting communication signals and machinery.

In some areas, even firearms will malfunction, and creatures will begin to mutate and become extremely large.

It is my job this time to find out the reasons for these biological mutations and discuss the source of radiation.

At first, I just kept running away to avoid danger and terrible mutant creatures. Now that I am safe and have a place to live, I keep sending myself to dangerous places.

Looking back, even I want to laugh, but I will not regret my choice. If I don't take risks, I won't be able to understand this world that has changed so much.

In order to survive in this mutated world, in order not to lose on the road of evolution, we must explore!

Yeah! That's right! But, having said that, it feels like it's almost time to open the umbrella. At this height, wait, how can the umbrella be opened?

At a time when the level of danger became even more severe with every hundred meters of descent, I suddenly remembered that I had never skydived before and had no experience of skydiving at all.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Gonna die! Gonna die!

No, no! Calm down! At times like this, you can’t panic!

Are you pulling the rope hard?!

【Click!】

Broken!!!

No! If you look carefully, this seems to be the strap of a parachute bag! I accidentally pulled it on the wrong way!

"Open the umbrella!!"

The moment the parachute came out of the parachute bag and opened in the air, a strong pulling force suddenly grabbed my body that was falling at high speed from behind, and at the same time, the speed of my descent began to slow down significantly.

Finally found the right drawstring.

Landing with a tailwind...

However, when I was almost close to the ground, a strong wind suddenly blew from the left, causing me to deviate from the route. I originally planned to land on a highway with fewer obstacles, but now I rushed uncontrollably into the jungle!

I constantly controlled the direction and dodged left and right, and narrowly avoided collision with the trunk of the tree. However, the branches whipping my body was still very uncomfortable, and the parachute also hung on the tree, leaving me in a suspended state.

I had to cut off the parachute rope or take off my backpack before I could fall to the ground, but there was still a height of more than ten meters above the ground. This height is generally fatal.

I hope I can bear this hurt.

The backpack still plays an important role. I don’t want to throw it away just yet. I took out my dagger and cut off the parachute rope. My body began to fall vertically, and landed with a bang in less than two seconds. The recoil force came from my feet, and my body was due to inertia.

And bend down and sink.

Phew——, it seems that there is no problem. Although the feeling of extreme skydiving is really good, the feeling of landing with both feet on the ground is also good.

I stood up straight again and looked around. There were thick grass and trees everywhere, and it seemed like there was no end in sight.

How far has it deviated? It’s completely impossible to tell the direction without a guiding instrument. Because of energy radiation interference, the PAD map cannot be used.

However, there was the sound of flowing water, and there should be a river nearby. If we walked along the river bank, we might be able to find our way into the city.

[Call Explorer Momonga, call Explorer Momonga, please answer if you hear it, repeat it, call Explorer Momonga, please answer if you hear it.]

Soldier Qian Gang's voice came from the pager.

This is a specially made communication machine. It does not transmit and receive signals from satellites. Although it is not known what the principle is based on, it seems to be able to not be affected by energy radiation within a certain distance.

However, the function is also very single. It can only be used for communication and has no other functions, and the communication distance is limited.

"I heard that. The skydive was successful and we have landed safely. Due to the strong wind, we deviated from the route. We are now looking for a way into the city in the jungle. We will contact you if there is any situation. Over."

[Received, good luck, completed.]

Qian Gang's voice stopped ringing.

The top priority now is to quickly find a way into the city. Surviving in the jungle is much more difficult than surviving in the city. There is no shelter at all, and I don't know where to find food.

I have no experience surviving in the wilderness!

Fortunately, I have enough food and water in my backpack to survive for a few days, but this won't last long. If the thing gets lost in the jungle for a long time...

No, no, no, this is not possible. I don’t want to die in the wilderness for such inexplicable reasons before the mission even starts!
