Chapter Fifty-Four: Ru Mao Drinks Blood
The next day, Bai Ye had to deviate from the main road in the refugee area to a more barren area, not only was he and Li Ergou's water drunk by rabbits, but the other people's water was also exhausted.
After all, Bai Ye ignored the fact that the human body must consume enough water during the high-intensity trek, and he used to endure it when he was thirsty, and endure it when he was tired, and there was no other way to endure it.
But now it is different, the will of this group of people is not strong, but I am afraid that a large number of people will die of thirst before they even go to the wilderness.
Under the scorching sun, the white leaves had already led the crowd away from the refugee area to a small plain, which was more of a bald loess slope than a plain.
All the edible vegetation on it was stripped away, leaving only a few dead trees with no bark.
After looking around, Bai Ye stopped under a dead tree with holes at the base of the root, he looked at the ground around him, and sure enough, he found four or five small holes distributed six or seven meters away.
And at this moment, the voice of civilization swayed in my head.
Ding: Trigger 4/10 of consecutive failed missions, let the team members get for nothing while catching voles, the task rewards civilization value +1, and the task failure will terminate this side quest.
"What do you mean?" Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, and the sentence of letting the team members get for nothing is understood in reverse, it should be to let others do it themselves, then this task should not be difficult.
He glanced at the people around him: "This should be a vole nest, you go and guard the other holes, and make a trap on each hole." ”
As he spoke, he untied his shoelaces and made a simple trap out of a twig, and placed a small piece of meat as bait at the mouth of the hole, which would shrink as soon as an animal dragged the food rope.
Li Ergou scratched his head and wondered: "How do you know that this is a vole hole, and there are voles in it." ”
Bai Ye was asked by this for a while and didn't know how to answer, in fact, he wasn't sure if there were any voles in it, it was impossible to tell him that this was what civilization told him, he paused for half a second and then replied: "The vole told me last night." ”
All:......
Li Ergou rolled his eyes, but he still untied his shoelaces and began to make traps in the same way as Bai Ye.
But the others are different, they haven't seen a vole in years, and they don't know how big this thing can grow, and the traps they make are of different sizes, the big ones can be stuffed into a person's head, and the small ones can only be stuffed into two fingers.
Only then did he realize that it was not only the people of the consortium, but even the refugees would subconsciously stay away from the wilderness, and their minds had been instilled with the knowledge of the dangers of the wild since they were born, so that they were extremely unfamiliar with everything in the wilderness.
After all the traps were arranged, the group of people all evacuated two meters away, using this small dirt slope as a shelter, leaving only a pair of eyes to look at the entrance of the cave.
Time passed little by little, the yellow earth was roasted hot, and at this moment people lying on the ground were like a meat steak that was constantly being heated, which was not only uncomfortable but also fatal.
Bai Ye is not much better, he is already sweating like rain at this moment, but he is still lying on the ground without moving.
Li Ergou found that within two hours, Bai Ye didn't have any extra movements except for a few blinks of his eyes, waiting for the appearance of his prey like a dormant poisonous scorpion.
By this time, some people had lost patience and went to other places to find water, and only he and the few remaining men in combat uniforms were still lying quietly there.
Suddenly, the rope at the entrance of the cave moved, and Li Ergou immediately cheered up, but he was pressed to the ground by Bai Ye's arm, and his eyes motioned for him to wait first.
Gradually, a fat vole's head slowly protruded from the hole, and its small eyes immediately retracted into the cave after looking around, and its body never left the burrow.
"How can this be, you won't find us, right?" Li Ergou asked in a very low voice.
Bai Ye didn't speak, just stared at the cave quietly, and after about half an hour, the originally silent trap finally shook again.
I saw two voles half an arm long out of the two holes, sniffed beside the trap, and made sure that there was no one around, so they bit the bait.
Chirping!
The moment the two voles bite the bait, they are caught in the trap and fall into the air, and the more they struggle, the tighter the rope becomes.
"It's now!" Bai Ye snorted softly, and his body rushed up like an arrow and pressed the two voles to the ground one by one, and before the other party could react, the dagger had already taken his life.
Warm blood seeped through the cracks between his fingers, but before the blood could drip down, Bai Ye handed it to Green Ye: "Drink quickly, it can quench your thirst." ”
Green Leaf didn't hesitate or even frown, took the vole and drank it, and he drank it with great care with each sip, for fear that the blood would be scattered. It was food that Shiraba had only bought after two and a half hours of exposure to the scorching sun, and he had no reason to waste it.
Bai Ye handed the other vole to Li Ergou and said, "Everyone who didn't leave just now came over to drink." ”
Li Ergou's decisiveness was even worse than that of green leaves, and the warm and viscous blood mixed with the strong smell of blood flowed into his mouth, making his stomach work like a huge blender in his body, and he forcibly swallowed the blood in his mouth.
followed by Bao Dad and Er Niu, followed by a few people assigned to the combat uniforms of the Yanchi Private Army.
These people and Shiraba have one thing in common, that is, they will use all resources to keep themselves alive, so when they drink something they have never tried before, although they are all on the verge of vomiting, they eventually swallow it.
After that, there was no then, and there were only a dozen or so people who could hold out to the end of the 39 people, and the rest of the people looked at the people who got the resources with indescribable envy and remorse in their eyes.
In fact, it turns out that the more ruthless they are, the better the chance of surviving in the wilderness, and when facing the Yanchi private army, these dozen or so people are not afraid of death and kill the private army, so they get combat uniforms.
Here they endured the heat, so they got resources.
There is a clear difference between the faces of those who drank blood and those who did not, the faces of those who did not drink were sallow, and the corners of their mouths were chapped, and those who drank were already thinking about whether to roast and eat the meat, after all, everyone had not eaten lunch......
Bai Ye looked at the scene in front of him and asked, "Now do you all know the truth of doing it yourself?"
Everyone nodded in unison, Bai Ye was very satisfied, so that 1 point of civilization value was in hand again, but he waited for a long time without a civilized voice.
"Civilization, what's going on?"
Ding: The task is not completed, and the user still needs to work hard.
Bai Ye was not happy, he looked at the group of people who didn't drink and complained a little: "It seems that you still don't understand the true meaning of this." ”
At this time, a man finally couldn't resist the thirst of lack of water, took off his shoelaces, put a piece of minced meat on them as bait, and slowly sent the shoelaces through the hole to the depths of the cave.
Less than half a minute after it was delivered, the man's face was happy, and something was obviously biting the bait on the other end of the shoelace.
He happily pulled out, but there was a huge resistance on the other end, and he immediately shouted back: "Come and help, it's a big guy!"
Seeing this, everyone gathered around, several people dug in with daggers along the hole, and another person helped pull the rope from behind, when the strength of the two people gathered together, it was far from being as simple as one plus one equals two, and it took less than three seconds for the things in the hole to finally be pulled out.
When he saw what was pulled out, the sound of the completion of the white leaf mission finally sounded.
However, he didn't have the slightest joy, but when he saw that thing, he took a deep breath!
