Chapter 295
Ignoring the crowd, Batu dropped this sentence and shared the pieces of meat brought by the clan with Ouyang Zhi. Don't look at this barbecue that weighs a few pounds, this is a delicacy that only the patriarch can enjoy, and it is not available every day. Their tribe did not have much food in stock, especially after a winter. Every time you go out hunting, not always you will get a catch.
Before the end of the world, humans are the masters of animals, even the king of the forest and the king of the grassland, in front of the weapons of humans, oh, should be humans, like shivering rabbits. However, now, even a vegetarian mutant beast is really crazy, and a single kick can kick a human to injury, or even kick to death. What's more, their size has grown.
Today's pieces of meat were confessed by Batu before he set off to ambush the wolves. Two days ago, he confessed that today he roasted the meat that had been stored before, and if they came back in the evening, it would mean that they had succeeded, and this was a reward for the heroes, and all the warriors who returned victorious could feast on it. If they don't come back, these are their sacrifices, and the clansmen will have a good meal after mourning them, and they will be responsible for the rest of the day.
Therefore, what Ouyang Zhi saw was that the meat in front of him and Batu was the most and the best, and the few people who came back with Batu also had a slightly smaller piece of barbecue in front of them, and there were also a few pieces of meat hanging on the bonfire, which were reserved for the warriors who had not yet returned. Others, on the other hand, still eat something made of unknown ingredients, a bit like a dry film, and it should be mixed with something like wild vegetables, but the taste is definitely not delicious.
Ouyang Zhi was not interested in the thing similar to boiled meat in front of him. He was never short of these. Even if he was alone these months, his food was not bad. However, this was Batu's overture to him, so he accepted it. However, after a few bites, he put down the dagger. Seeing the greed of several children swallowing their saliva, he handed them the pieces of meat.
The children didn't dare to take it at first, they looked at Batu timidly, and after he nodded faintly to the point that it was almost invisible, they stepped forward to take the piece of meat, and thanked Ouyang Zhi as promised. Then I hid behind and slowly tasted the delicious taste that I hadn't used for a long time.
"I take the liberty of asking. You are not from our steppe. Why did you come here alone? Batu asked Ouyang Zhi in a low voice.
"I'm looking for someone." Ouyang Zhi drank some water.
"Is there anything different about this grassland in the last three months?" Ouyang Zhi took out the golden pupil and fed it a little water.
"Oh, what?" Batu looked at the little snake taken out of Ouyang Zhi's arms a little out of his mind. He was really scared. I didn't hear Ouyang Zhi's question clearly for a while.
"Here. Is there anything different in three months? Ouyang Zhi gently stroked the little head of the golden pupil and asked again.
"Different? Why is it here? What about these three months? What's the same after this damn apocalypse? What's different? "A rough man in his forties. At the moment, he muttered.
"I mean something other than the end of the world." Ouyang Zhi was very patient.
Although Ouyang Zhi's tone was still so careless, Batu could hear the difference. This man wants a serious answer, if he doesn't answer seriously, maybe he is still a friend one moment, and the next moment he will be an enemy.
"We've been moving around here before, and we officially settled here almost four months ago. Here, as before, it is still a vast grassland, but the grass is taller and the animals are crazy. So I don't know what you want to know. ”
Ouyang Zhi was silent for a while, his eyes shifting from the bonfire to the golden pupil.
"Have you ever seen this woman?" Ouyang Zhi took out a photo, the membrane on the photo had been broken, and it could be seen that he was often touched. After Chen Yan was reborn, he was unintentionally photographed by Ouyang Fu. He and Chen Yan don't like to take pictures very much, and there is not even a photo of the two of them.
Batu wiped his greasy hands on his clothes, and was about to take the photo, but he found that Ouyang Zhi didn't intend to let him touch it, but he didn't get angry, men, of course, are not the same as their possessiveness towards their own women. His own woman didn't like to be noticed much before. He leaned over and looked at the woman in the photo by the light of the fire.
"I haven't seen it." Not daring to show the slightest surprise at the photo person, Batu swore that he had never seen such a beautiful woman, not even those big stars before the apocalypse.
"Is there anyone else around here besides your tribe?" Ouyang Zhi took back the photo and looked at Batu's gaze with a faint warning.
This time, Batu didn't even have the idea to think about it. Hurry up and forget about the fairy-like woman.
"This is the depths of the grassland, and there were fewer tribes before, and now there are even fewer."
"Hmm." Ouyang Zhi replied lightly, and his tone also lowered.
"How did you come up with the idea of settling here?" After being silent for a while, Ouyang Zhi continued to ask.
"There aren't many people in our tribe, and we don't have many weapons. Better place, too many people. Here, although there are more mutant beasts, it is better than there are fewer people. Moreover, there are many mutant beasts, and we have more opportunities to hunt. "Although, the danger and cost of hunting has also increased. Batu didn't say that.
Ouyang Zhi was noncommittal, of course he knew what Batu meant by saying that there were too many people.
"And it's close to water." Batu has finished eating his meat, and is now gulping down water to remember the joy of drinking in large gulps.
"It's strange to say, there was no lake here. Even after the end came, it did not appear. But just three months ago, yes, less than four months ago, there was a lake here. The water quality inside suited us. Moreover, there is no underwater life in the lake. "Batu's father didn't plan to settle here at that time, although there are many tribes outside, and there are many rights and wrongs, but after all, it is suitable for human survival. But after discovering this lake, and knowing that there are no dangerous creatures underwater, the old patriarch decided to settle here. And in the past few months, they have indeed relied on this lake area to survive.
But because of this, the mutant beasts deeper also began to drink water in this lake area, so the survival of their tribe will become more and more dangerous. Among them, the biggest danger is this group of steppe wolves.
"Lakeland? It only appeared three months ago? It didn't sound like it had anything to do with Chen Yan, but Ouyang Zhi wouldn't let go of a trace of strange phenomena, after all, his intuition told him that Chen Yan had indeed been to this place. Moreover, Jin Tong has never objected to the direction in which he walks. (To be continued.) )
