Chapter 001: The World of Food
"Lin Su, can you go back by yourself?"
"Don't worry, no problem. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" The slightly drunk Lin Su waved his hand and said goodbye to his friends at the door of the bar.
Walking alone on the way home, the path without street lights was pitch black, and Lin Su didn't notice that there was a big black hole in front of him.
Drunk, he stepped into the air and fell into the well.
"It's good that buddy has insurance. This was the last sentence that Lin Su thought of.
The well seemed to be a bottomless pit, and Lin Su felt that he had fallen for a long time without stopping.
Suddenly, a little starlight appeared around the pitch black, and Lin Su felt as if he was in space.
The extreme low temperature in space quickly deprived Lin Su of his consciousness, and he fainted as soon as his eyes were black.
……
Somewhere in the forest after the rain, a teenager lay quietly on the wet ground. The boy's face was withered, and his emaciated body could be described as skin and bones, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
All he had was a rag wrapped around his waist, and the holes on it were not patched.
By this time, the boy was completely out of breath, and hunger had taken his young life.
The boy left quietly, and his body was likely to be turned into nourishment to nourish the forest.
Suddenly, a small black hole appeared over the forest, and a bolt of lightning shot out of it and hit the dead boy's body.
Lin Su was awakened by the intense hunger from his stomach, and he opened his eyes weakly and looked around, and what he saw was not the bar where he had been drinking with his buddies before, but a forest.
The foliage of the forest was very dense, but the bark of the trees had been stripped away, and the bare trunks were covered with tooth marks, as if some kind of bark-eating beast had ransacked the place.
Looking at the tooth marks that were deeply imprinted on the trunk of the tree, one could imagine how hard the beast had bitten it.
The unfamiliar environment made Lin Su a little confused, he obviously went to the bar to drink last night, why did he appear in the wilderness as soon as he opened his eyes?
Although there were countless questions in his heart, Lin Su had no time to think about those answers, the rumbling in his stomach was like thunder, and the hunger was like a fierce beast constantly devouring his consciousness.
"If you don't eat something right away, you'll starve to death!"
This information appeared extremely clearly in Lin Su's mind.
The weak body struggles to even lift its hands, and it is not possible to find food by yourself. Looking around again, there was no sign of human activity through the woods, and the idea of asking for help was completely cut off.
Could it be that he would starve to death in such an inexplicable place?
Just when Lin Su was desperate, an earthworm got out of the ground because of the rain.
As a modern person, Lin Su never thought of using earthworms as food. However, the intense hunger seemed to suddenly take control of his body, and Lin Su's hand involuntarily stretched out towards the earthworm.
The wriggling earthworm was thrown into its mouth along with some sand and chewed instinctively......
The expected disgusting and unbearable taste did not appear, if it weren't for the fact that he really saw that what he put in his mouth was an earthworm, Lin Su even thought that he was chewing a crisp bean sprout.
Swallowing what was in his mouth, the precious food immediately turned into energy to nourish Lin Su's body.
"It turned out to be bean sprouts earthworms. Lin Su's mind flashed information about this earthworm.
A large number of memories began to pour into Lin Su's brain, and after a period of trance, Lin Su finally fused the original memories of this body.
This poor young man who starved to death was an orphan who didn't even have a name, and most of his memories were filled with almost fainting hunger, and after fusing his memories, Lin Su seemed to have experienced a famine that lasted for more than ten years, and that shocking feeling made Lin Su, a young man in this peaceful era, unforgettable.
Skimming through these memories, Lin Su found three very key words - Acacia, gourmet cells, and war.
These three words made Lin Su understand where he was, and this was the world depicted in the comic "Prisoner of Food".
About 90 years ago, Acacia, one of the strongest food hunters in the human world, discovered a special pluripotent cell called the gourmet cell in the body of the gourmet jellyfish in the deep sea.
Gourmet cells have excellent regenerative function and vitality, and if they are successfully combined with other tissues, the strengths of the tissues can be amazingly extended.
Sweet apples will become sweeter, and delicious beef will become more delicious.
Since the discovery of the food cell by Acacia, the god of food, the level of ingredients in the human world has grown explosively, and human beings have also taken a direct train to the age of satiety.
Ironically, it is precisely because of this that the food wars have been provoked!
The more intense the light, the more dark shadows are created.
Neighboring small countries frantically plundered each other's ingredients, and the war gradually spread to the whole world, and this global war quickly fell into a stalemate. As a result, countless refugees from defeated countries around the world have been displaced.
The young man possessed by Lin Su was such a refugee from a defeated country.
"Cross over, cross over, you at least let me be born after the opening of the food era, now in this era of war and chaos, don't talk about enjoying food, thank God for being alive!"
Lin Su sighed.
Suddenly appearing in such a world, Lin Su didn't have any time to miss his relatives, because his stomach was rumbling urging him to find food.
Hunger is a very strange feeling, whether you are sad or happy, angry or indifferent, no emotion can suppress the body from expressing hunger.
It is an eternal truth that if you are hungry, you must eat, otherwise life will not survive.
A bean sprout earthworm only slightly alleviated Lin Su's crisis, and if he didn't continue to find more food, he still couldn't get rid of the threat of death.
"Even if there are wild beasts here, they have been hunted down by hungry people, where can I find food!"
As a young man who has been living in the city, Lin Su seems to have no experience of getting food directly from nature, and the development of technology has made people lose their instinct as a creature!
Fortunately, Lin Su fused the original memories of this body, which provided him with extremely important help.
Looking up at the trees that had been stripped of their bark, the corners of Lin Su's mouth couldn't help but drool.
According to this body's memory, it is a peculiar species called the "potato chip tree", and its scaly bark is as delicious as crispy potato chips when peeled off. If the tree reaches 20 years old, the leaves will also become crispy like potato chips.
The hungry boy had come to the forest for these bark chips, but he didn't expect it to be snatched up by the hungry people.
The potato chip tree could not be counted on, and Lin Su could only lock his eyes on the ground full of fallen leaves, hoping to find a few more bean sprouts and earthworms.
Because of the previous taste, Lin Su no longer rejects this creature.
"Wow, caught one. ”
"Aha, here's another one. ”
Lin Su's somewhat funny voice sounded in the silent forest, and in such an environment, he could only cheer himself up like this.
The fertile forest soil after the rain is indeed a good place to catch earthworms, and it didn't take long for Lin Su to find 16 bean sprout earthworms on the surrounding ground.
Putting these bean sprouts earthworms in his mouth, the taste of chewing raw bean sprouts made Lin Su nod with enjoyment.
"Bear Grylls would be mad if he knew that earthworms were so delicious, and if he stir-fried them in a garlic pan, he would be a delicacy in the world. ”
Snort~ The saliva unconsciously flowed down again.
It's not that Lin Su is hallucinating because of hunger, these bean sprouts and earthworms are indeed so delicious.
After eating something, his stomach finally stopped rumbling, and Lin Su also had time to calm down and think about what to do next.
The world's gastronomic wars have been going on for almost 90 years, and food insecurity is already severe in some areas. The legal system and morality have collapsed, and theft and snatching of food have occurred from time to time.
It is precisely because there is no food in the city and there is no way to make a living that the original owner of this body will come to the forest of potato chips to find food.
Thinking about his current physical condition and the chaotic environment in the city, Lin Su first gave up his plan to return to the city to make a living, which was actually another hell on earth.
"You may find some food in this forest, but you will also have to deal with dangerous beasts that may arise. ”
Captive of FoodThe world does have a variety of delicious ingredients that will make your mouth water, but many of them are formidable beasts in their own right.
If you extrapolate according to the capture level standard given by the IGO organization, the capture level of those lions, tigers and other beasts on the earth is all below 1!
Capturing a level 1 beast requires ten professional gun hunters to deal with.
Capture a level 5 beast and dispatch a specialized armored fighting vehicle to barely fight it.
It can be said that even if those monsters in Ultraman animation appear in this world, they are far from the top powerhouses in this world.
With Lin Su's current physical condition, any beast below level 1 could easily solve his small life.
While he still had enough physical strength, Lin Su searched for the ground of this forest like a groundhog. There are so many sprouts and earthworms today because it has just rained, and it will be difficult to find such food tomorrow.
Busy until the sun was about to set, Lin Su caught a total of 203 bean sprouts and earthworms, and the fertility of this forest can be imagined.
Untying off the only piece of cloth covering his waist, Lin Su wrapped all the bean sprouts and earthworms he caught, and he couldn't eat all the food he found at once, and he had to make plans for his future life.
Little by little, the afterglow of the sun faded, and darkness enveloped the forest of potato chip trees.
Lin Su leaned naked on the trunk of a potato chip tree, his body touching the dry leaves on the ground brought a chill, and his skinny body was in pain when he leaned against the trunk.
However, Lin Su, who had fused his body's original memories, was completely accustomed to this kind of life.
Because that's what refugees have to deal with every day.
"If I really starved to death, I was certainly one of the saddest traversers. ”
After thinking like this for a few seconds, Lin Su quickly fell asleep.
There is no missing family, no excessive feelings for the current situation, all this is just because sleep is the best way to reduce energy consumption!
It sounds really sad, but in order to survive in the face of extreme lack of food, people have to choose this way.
Being able to sleep until dawn is the happiest thing for refugees in this era, and more people are woken up in the middle of the night by hunger!
……
For Lin Su, he was undoubtedly lucky, because he was awakened by the morning dew, not because of hunger.
The location of the Potato Chip Tree Forest should be considered a tropical area, and it is precisely because of this that Lin Su was not directly frozen to death in his sleep.
Ignoring the dew flowing on his body, Lin Su looked to his side for the first time. Fortunately, the rag wrapped in the sprouts and earthworms is still there.
Wipe the dew off your body with your hands, and then rub your body vigorously to get yourself out of the stiff state. Reaching out to get the cloth bag next to him, Lin Su was about to take out a few bean sprouts and earthworms for breakfast.
Before Lin Su could make a move, a sound of footsteps came from the distance of the forest. Just by the sound of footsteps, Lin Su knew that the thing that rushed towards him was definitely not small.
Looking vigilantly in the direction where the voice came from, Lin Su saw potato chip trees fall to the ground one by one. Before Lin Su could react, the mysterious creature had already crashed out of a passage in the forest and came to Lin Su.
It was a huge boar that was more than two meters tall and nearly three and a half meters long, covered in red body hair and had sharp fangs in its mouth.
"Red ...... Red Pig, a beast that captures level 1. Lin Su trembled and said the information of the beast in front of him.
