Chapter 2: The Discovery of Coca-Cola
Jiang Xiao opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the pile of dried meat strips lying together in the darkness in front of him, and his body lying on a bed made of cold ice silkworm skin, he clearly felt the sound of the ground falling heavily.
Jumping up and lying down on the stone wall, the feeling of vibration became more and more obvious, and more and more violent, not one, but a group of demonic beasts running.
The rumbling sound of running hit the head, and the large clouds of snow that they brought up flew and fell through the cavities of the megalodon's skull, covering the entire bottom of the cave one after another.
Jiang Xiao was covered with her head all over her body, and the cool touch in her neck made her shiver, and she shrank under the stone wall.
After a long time, everything calmed down and the surroundings were quiet.
Jiang Xiao didn't have a watch, so he didn't have a concept of time at all, and the only timer now was probably that Jiang Xiao would carve a number on the stone wall with a blackened bone stick every day and night, representing his own time.
And now there are thirty numbers on the stone wall, which means that Jiang Xiao has lived in this cave for another thirty days.
Jiang Xiao stayed for a long time, and finally made sure that the safety around him was completely sure, so he lit the fire, and the bones of the hexapus were used for firewood, which not only burned for a long time and produced high heat, but also produced no smoke and exhaust gas. Very energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
The Jiang Xiao reflected by the fire is no longer the skeleton Jiang Xiao who is only covered in skin and bones, because Jiang Xiao has recently killed three juvenile ice silkworms in a row, and the food stored in the cave has reached an unprecedented saturation.
Jiang Xiao also because of the abundance of food, his stomach was round every day, his shriveled body began to gradually become rounded, strong muscles began to grow on his body, and his dry and yellow hair began to turn black and shiny, especially the two big black eyes, which were bright and scary, always shining with a cunning light.
Jiang Xiao touched the bone knife in her boots that was clinging to her calf, and the warm feeling from it made her panic calm down, and the strange soothing power made her seem to be relied on.
Jiang Xiao took a strip of dried meat, tore the dry and hard strips of meat along the texture, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed hard, the meat of the cold ice silkworm is the most delicate and tender, although it is roasted dry, but it will not stuff his teeth at all.
A small block of ice was chiseled out of the rock wall, put it in his mouth, and after a while it turned into a cold stream of water that ran down his throat.
Suddenly, a stronger sense of movement came, mixed with the constant roar of the beast, and began to hover over Jiang Xiao's head.
Jiang Xiao immediately kicked out the fire, curled up and shrank under the stone wall.
The skull of the megalodon at the mouth of the cave above his head was crushed by a huge force, and the broken bone fragments smashed down from the hole and stacked on the ground below, and several broken bones even almost pierced Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao tried his best to dodge and stick to the edge of the stone wall to dodge, and in this way, his arms and face were still scratched by a few small broken bones, especially the wound on his forehead, the skin and flesh were turned over, the flesh and blood were blurred, and Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth in pain.
This is a disaster from heaven.
It's also to blame Jiang Xiao for having been at ease for too long recently, she has long known that the deterrent power of the giant toothed dog's skull will not last long, and she should have planned a second hiding place a long time ago, but everything has been too smooth for Jiang Xiao recently, safe, warm, and full, making her instinctively indulge in this rare calm.
Look at the danger you're about to face now.
Jiang Xiao swore in his heart that he had escaped the danger of this time and must change places in his ears at the sound of countless large and small bone fragments still falling violently.
I don't know how long it has been, Jiang Xiao's numbness is about to fall asleep, and the surroundings are quiet again.
Jiang Xiao secretly counted that in this day, according to the vibration frequency of the demonic beasts that passed through the cave above his head, there were about thirteen waves, five waves for the large population, and eight waves for the small population. It seems that they are all going in one direction, and it seems that there must be something nearby that attracts these magical beasts.
Jiang Xiao waited for a long time, and no more demonic beasts passed by.
He slowly crawled out from under the stone wall, patted off the snow and bone powder, rubbed in the dark and wrapped the dried meat strips with ice silkworm skin, crossed his shoulders, and tied a dead knot on his chest. Roll up a few pieces of ice silkworm skin and insert it into the middle of the burden and body behind you, test the tightness, and tighten the length of the burden to ensure that the ice silkworm skin behind you will not fall off during your own running.
The skin of the ice silkworm is very warm, much better than the fur on his body, but he can't find a suitable needle and thread to sew clothes, otherwise he would have changed the outfit on his body a long time ago.
Who makes the toughness of the skin of the ice silkworm too strong, even the skins of the ice silkworm in Jiang Xiao's hand are also because they are hunted juvenile ice silkworms, and they can only be obtained by starting from the gap in the abdomen. If it was an adult ice silkworm, she wouldn't even think about it.
Looking at the bottom of the cave in the dark, it was time to leave the home where he had lived for two months.
Jiang Xiao stepped on the hollow in the hard ice wall of the cave, slowly climbed up, carefully sticking his head out of the hole, and looked around, but fortunately there was no trace of any wild beast.
Swiftly jumped out of the hole, and dodged next to a collapsed abandoned car.
It seems that the surroundings here have been destroyed beyond recognition, the original inclined half-collapsed building in front of Jiang Xiao has been completely destroyed, only a pile of ruins remains, and the building that has been baptized by ice and snow for decades is either integrated with the ice and unbreakable, or it is fragile and damaged by the erosion of this cold.
It seems that this is the end of the building in front of you.
The tall buildings near her cave were mostly gone, and all that remained was a messy pile of trash and obstacles.
Jiang Xiao carefully identified the road in front of him for a long time, bowed his head and began to climb over the obstacles in front of him.
The only other place Jiang Xiao could think of was the stadium of the Death Cemetery, where the demonic beasts were reluctant to go, it was not bad to be a temporary place to live, and it was also very close to the lair of the Ice Silkworm, which was convenient for her to hunt.
Resigned to his fate, he pulled out the bone knife from his boot and began to climb over the obstacles in front of him with difficulty.
Beneath his feet were all kinds of potholes and unevenness, and Jiang Xiao jumped over one concrete floor and wall after another, and avoided the endless stream of hideous steel bars and metal frames of windows.
With a "bang", Jiang Xiao jumped quickly, bent down and got under a three-meter-wide cement slab, clenched the bone knife in his hand vigilantly, stuck his back against the hard wall of the cement slab, and stared closely at the only entrance in front of him.
Except for the one just now, no sound came.
Jiang Xiao relaxed, and his muscles relaxed, only to realize that he had been maintaining a half-squat posture, his legs and feet were a little numb, and the height of the cement slab could only allow half a person's height.
He sat on the ground and panted slightly.
Jiang Xiao is not careful, in case she encounters a giant toothed dog, even if it is a young giant toothed dog, she is not an opponent at all, and she will be reduced to the stomach food of others.
It seems that everything is safe.
Jiang Xiao listened for a long time, made sure it was safe, and knelt on his knees and prepared to climb out. The boot kicked something and slammed into the cement slab with a crisp stabbing sound.
Jiang Xiao was startled, turned around and touched it with his hand, and a cylindrical thing was grabbed by Jiang Xiao, and he took a closer look at it with the light that came in under the cement slab.
Made of metal, with a few English letters on a red background and white on the outer wall.
Surprise.
Jiang Xiao didn't know what to say, this was obviously the drink called "Coca-Cola" that she had seen in historical materials, it was said to taste very good, but in Jiang Xiao's time, this Coca-Cola had long been history.
And now I am fortunate to be able to have an antique real face.
After checking Coca-Cola, it was intact except for the metal bottle that was a little uneven. He shook the bottle in his hand, which, according to historical sources, contained liquid.
But the one in her hand didn't have the sound of liquid except for the feeling of a slight weight in the palm of her hand. But then Jiang Xiao laughed, and secretly scolded himself for being a fool, under this temperature of the weather, under the constant temperature for decades, any liquid will be frozen into ice cubes.
Carefully put Coca-Cola into the baggage behind him, and turned around to continue groping where he had touched Coca-Cola, hoping to find something else.
According to Jiang Xiao's historical records, the only thing left in the continent plate that was hit hard by the disaster was in the land of Snow Country.
Mainly because of the climate, many of the food and water resources left over from the pre-apocalyptic times were frozen by low temperatures, which also caused many of the original resources to be preserved. Later, in the 3,000-year history of the Snow Country, there were many outstanding small country lords, and even the legendary country masters who later unified the Snow Country. They all rely on these materials under the hard underground ice that they have discovered to develop their respective forces and dominate the world.
Jiang Xiao has a deep memory of the history of those years, and even the distribution map and location of those materials are engraved in her heart, mainly for the emotion of this history, Jiang Xiao also imagined that if she returned to the beginning of the end of the history of Snow Country, how would she find these resources and use them to do something.
But she never thought that one day she would really face this, and thanks to Jiang Xiao's ability to never forget, as long as she has read the information, she will not forget. It seems that God specially arranged for Jiang Xiao to adapt to this unpredictable world.
However, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but scold, you can't give me some super abilities, what group attack killing skills or something, at least let me be able to mix in the last days. Look at how embarrassed she is now.
After touching for a long time, nothing was found, it seems that this bottle of Coca-Cola was probably left out in a corner, otherwise how could no one have searched for such an obvious place.
Jiang Xiao gave up looking, the cat's waist drilled out the cement slab, his black eyes scanned the surroundings, and his body jumped over a stone slab in front of him, shuttling between the ruins.
The small, slender figure was submerged in the ravines. Under the vast desert sky, the thin and thin figure was reflected more fragile and thin, and the huge ruins seemed to be a huge mouth, which would engulf this figure at any time.
