Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Bushes

"What is this?"

"It's a shrub. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What is this?"

"It's still a bush."

Lin and Kate had been away from the Savage Coast for a morning, and the two of them had not gone far, because the way they were advancing was still to walk around the territory of one fierce beast after another and walk along the edge of the territory.

At first, Lin didn't bother to explain, but Kate thought that Lin had a problem with his brain, and he didn't take the flat road, but wanted to go around in circles. It wasn't until she negligently stepped into the sphere of influence of a wasteland snake and saw a shadow the thickness of her thigh, suddenly popping out of the cave and flying in front of her, that she understood why Lin took a detour.

When she saw Lin Shuren standing in front of her, wielding a matte dagger and slashing at the vital point of the wasteland snake, killing it, she asked Lin suspiciously, why were you able to kill them but still detour.

Lin said, it is not cost-effective to kill them, you will not get anything, you have to waste your strength, and the speed of travel is not necessarily as fast as a detour, why kill them.

Kate thought about it, looked at the brown skin on her arm, and felt that what Lin said also made some sense. It's normal to pay attention to the cost performance of everything, and only pay when you feel that the return is appropriate.

However, although she understood that she understood, she still slipped away from time to time and accidentally stepped into the sphere of influence of the fierce beast. After Lin solved it a few times, she finally gained her memory, and said a few words to Lin from time to time, focusing on her easily distracted attention.

Although Lin was so annoyed, she never stepped on the beast's sphere of influence again.

On the evening of the first day, Lin looked at the sunset on the horizon and knew that there would be no rain in the near future, and tomorrow would be sunny. So, I found an open area, built a fire, laid out a few simple guard traps, and made a simple camp.

The first dead wasteland snake during the day had become lunch for the two, and now it was a fat mole rat tied to the fire for barbecue.

"The mole is so cute, shall we eat it?" Kate asked, looking at the mole spinning on the fire, looking a little cute and cute, with his short limbs.

Lin didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned the barbecue grill at a uniform speed, and the evenly heated mole was smoked and colored, and after a while, cracked oil bubbles appeared on the skin one after another, and the sound was also very attractive.

Kate swallowed as she looked at the barbecued mole and said to herself, "I understand, I understand." The mole is ferocious, and if we can't beat it, we will be eaten by it. There is nothing wrong with the victor enjoying the fruits. ”

As she spoke, Kate pulled off the mole's hind legs and gnawed on them with joy.

Lin plucked off his other hind leg and ate slowly, as if trying to squeeze every ounce of energy out of the mole's carcass.

Eat and drink to your heart's content, and pour a large mouthful of the pure water that he bought from Papina. Kate patted her belly, took off her shoes, glanced at the soles of her feet, and suddenly bared her teeth.

She walked so far that several blisters of different sizes had formed on the soles of her feet, and it hurt to walk at the slightest touch.

Lin turned his head sideways and saw her holding her feet, looking like a girl picking her feet, and walked over to pick up a thorn and punctured the blisters.

Kate's expression grinned, and after a while, Lin threw over a pair of soft leather shoes made of mole leather, and she burst into tears and smiled, looking at the mole leather shoes with joy.

It's just a child.

Lin looked at Kate, who was both happy and angry, and judged in his heart.

When night falls, most wild animals, no matter how fierce they are, are still afraid of fire.

Lin gathered a little dry branch into the fire, lay down and rested for a while, and he asked Kate to keep watch in the first half of the night, and he was in charge of getting up in the second half of the night.

If he were alone, he wouldn't have made a fire and kept vigil, which would have been too troublesome. His most accustomed way to spend the night is to dig a dirt pit and bury himself, which is safe and warm, and just wake up and pat the dust and continue to walk.

Every mercenary, or postman, who dares to travel long distances in the wasteland, is not easy to mess with. Those messy postmen have long since become unknown dry bones.

Lin woke up on time and put Kate, who was sleepy but didn't dare to lie down, to sleep.

Except for the small campfire beside Lin, there was no other light source in the wasteland. The night sky is clear, the stars twinkle in the sky, and the moon hides in the clouds and peeks out from time to time, surveying the savage land of the earth.

If at this time, Lin picked up a bone flute and played a song, maybe it would have a desolate taste. But he didn't have a bone flute, and he didn't know the rhythm of music. It's already hard to survive, and there's no time for any entertainment.

It is very quiet to say quiet at night, and it is not quiet to say that it is not quiet. The breeze blows gently, and in the gray and white field of the forest, you can see nocturnal monsters coming out to feed. Some ate grass, some were eaten, some were caught motionless and left to be slaughtered, and some struggled but nothing came back to save them, until they died of exhaustion.

Lin had no intention of disturbing this nocturnal hunt, except for the necessary predation, or the threat to survival, or the related tasks. He didn't want to kill these cute little monsters. After all, in this world, everyone is here to live, and there is no difference.

The sun rises in the east, and with it comes the morning glow. Lin woke Kate up, and the two of them continued on their way.

"How far do you have to see people?" Kate couldn't help but ask lonely.

"Not far." Lin replied.

"How far is it?"

"At the current rate, we will be able to see people in five days." Lin replied.

"How long is it going to take?" Kate said with a sad face.

"Or else? What do you think? Lin asked rhetorically.

Kate was silent for a moment, and the two continued on their way.

There were no dangers along the way, and after the first day, Kate lost her freshness, and every day was tired or tired. Every time I set up camp, I didn't want to move when I lay on the ground.

She was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to shout boredom.

This time, I ate rabbit meat, and it was still barbecue, and there was a wisp of grilled vegetables next to it.

Kate's eating appearance has changed from the original nonsense of eating Hesai to a way similar to Lin's eating, chewing and swallowing slowly is very civilized. It looks so incongruous with her increasingly rough appearance.

She's learned more than just how to eat these days. It also includes how to walk, how to run, how to set traps, and how to set up camp.

When she received this knowledge, she didn't feel anything, and when she was a little free, she had the strength to turn her brain, but suddenly found that she had learned so many new skills unconsciously.

On the evening of the fifth day, Lin said before going to bed, "Tomorrow we will go to the first human settlement, get ready." ”

Kate, who already looked like a normal wasteland girl, guarded the fire with her eyes shining, and her mind was full of thoughts about what the settlement would look like. (To be continued.) )
