Chapter 22: Hunger
Under the scorching sun, breathing dry air and blowing a gust of wind from time to time, Zhou Yi and his party walked forward with difficulty and slowly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Not long ago, the passenger car that was still moving turned off, Zhou Yi, who was driving, did not react, and started the car several times, but it was unsuccessful, he glanced at the fuel gauge and found that there was no gas.
There is no way to do this, now it has been a whole day since they escaped from the kidnappers, although Zhou Yi will stop the car to rest every once in a while, but there is no place to refuel on the way.
In order to avoid being caught by the kidnappers again, they had to move on with their own feet.
Thirst and hunger plagued them, and after searching for water and food last time, Zhou Yi knew that this was a very difficult thing.
"I should have collected some water and food before leaving."
Zhou Yi fell into the memories of looking for resources at noon yesterday
Although there are a lot of plants on the ground, it stands to reason that there is no shortage of water, but there is very little water that can be collected, and Zhou Yi did not see any rivers nearby.
"Plant Roots"
Zhou Yi thought of this method from the beginning, but there were either large trees or grass around him, and there were no plants such as vines at all.
In the end, for the sake of water, Zhou Yi had to find a big tree, dig out the rhizome, cut the epidermis, and suck it.
This is the method that Zhou Yi remembered after watching some survival TV shows
"I didn't expect the water in it to be very sweet."
At first, except for Meng Qide and Fujita Erika, who sucked the water from the roots of the tree like Zhou Yi, the others did not move.
"They actually ate the roots."
"It's too embarrassing, so I won't do it."
"I'll have to tell the others about it when I get back."
Although the little boys who spoke licked their lips, none of them stepped forward to suck the water from the roots of the tree.
Zhou Yi didn't have the time to persuade these little boys to go, he dug three pits with his dagger, and then dodged from a distance.
"There's no bait, so I'll have to do this kind of luck trap."
Zhou Yi didn't want to use these survival methods, he originally thought that he should be able to make things like food with his magic energy.
But no matter how much he used stones or leaves as raw materials, he couldn't make food at all, and Zhou Yi vaguely felt that his magic energy couldn't do such a thing now.
"Other features may be required"
When Science Lv1 becomes Science Lv2 on Zhou Yi's auxiliary panel, there is a new feature in the characteristics column at the bottom - maintenance.
Because Zhou Yi was a little lazy, when he saw this feature on the auxiliary panel, he thought about testing it when he was free, but the result was delayed, and now Zhou Yi still hasn't experimented.
"Anyway, it literally means a feature that is not used now."
"Alas"
Zhou Yi was a little sad
"Not to mention taking everyone back, at least to bring Fujita and Meng Qide back, what can I do now?"
Zhou Yi sat on the ground and thought
Watching Meng Qide and Fujita Erika suck on the roots, and then showed a look of satisfaction, the little children standing on the side swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison, but because their mouths were a little dry, nothing was swallowed.
Then there were constantly little children who couldn't stand their thirst and ran to the roots of the trees that Zhou Yi had cut in advance and sucked them.
"How can you do such a rude thing?"
"How can you betray us?"
There was also a small group of little kids who refused to suck the roots of the tree, which they thought was a very shameful thing, and it was only then that Zhou Yi realized that Sugimoto Norizen was standing in the middle of them.
"I didn't expect the little guy who was against me to be caught too."
Zhou Yi looked at their miserable appearance
"Let's say the last thing, I can't care if anyone who doesn't listen is dying of thirst."
"Are you like dying here?
After walking such a long distance, it is likely that we are not far from a place where there are people, and we will survive if we hold on for a while!
It's better to be alive than dead.
Think about it, it's just a little bit of a distance, because you can't let go of your so-called dignity, and your so-called face is dying of thirst.
Did you know?
Those who go back will be called brave, and you will be despised for not being able to go back, and being so stupid as to die before the end!
If you don't want to die of thirst, drink water from the roots of the tree. ”
After saying that, some people came out and ran under the big tree to drink, and Sugimoto Norizen stood there and hesitated for a moment before walking under the big tree.
"Sugimoto, are you going to do those rude acts?"
"Haha, you actually did those bad things? You have fallen. ”
Sugimoto Norizen listened to them and did not stop, but walked firmly towards the tree.
"It's better to live than to die, indeed, I'm going to live."
Sugimoto Norizen looked at Zhou Yi with a very complicated look in his eyes, with disgust, admiration, and gratitude.
He whispered
"Thank you, Zhou Yi."
After these children drank the water, Zhou Yi got up
"It's almost time to take a look at the traps, there's not that much time left to wait, and I don't know where the kidnappers are.
Anyway, I can't stay too long."
Zhou Yi looked into the trap, and the first one was empty
"That's to be expected"
The second one is also empty
"Looks like nothing has been gained."
Zhou Yi walked to the third trap and found that there was a small wild boar inside.
"Good luck!
This wild boar should be enough for dinner today."
Zhou Yi looked at the little wild boar in the trap and was still snorting there
"Meng Qide, come here, take your pistol."
"Hey, here we are."
Meng Qide ran over and laughed happily when he saw the little wild boar in the trap
"Finally something to eat."
As he spoke, he raised the gun in his hand, and a shot hit the boar's head.
"I'll go down and get it, and you can hand it over."
"Okay"
Then Zhou Yi collected the broken dry branches and gathered them, and then used the magic dagger to bleed the wild boar and remove the internal organs.
Then Zhou Yi roasted the little wild boar, and everyone ate a little.
Now Zhou Yi can still feel that the pork without any condiments is not delicious, but he wants to eat it now, because he is too hungry now.
Look at the endless plain in front of you, although there are plants on the ground, but now there are no big trees, Zhou Yi no longer knows where to get water resources, let alone food, not to mention fruits, not even small animals.
"I knew I should have collected some water yesterday, and although there was no food, I would be able to resist it if I had water."
