Chapter 640: Gathering Wild Fruits
Naturally, I wouldn't give it that chance.
As it struggled and writhed, I slammed the dagger to the ground.
Finally, the metal stick insect did not find a new host for a certain period of time, but still turned into liquid, and finally vaporized and disappeared.
Wang Yi also happened to solve the metal stick insect attached to the sole of another brown bear's foot.
Seeing this, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the blink of an eye, another question came to my mind.
"Hey, it doesn't seem right!! Since the snow wolves and brown bears here are possessed by metal stick insects, does it mean that all the animals here may have been infected? So, can't we find other food from the outside world at all? In other words......" At this, my face suddenly became a little ugly.
Du Deming also understood what I meant, his throat moved, and his voice was hoarse: "In other words, if we don't find the five fragments of the permafrost before the food is finished, then even if no other team intervenes, we will starve to death due to lack of food." ”
Compared with the two of us, Zhang Qiang is more optimistic.
He covered his chest with one hand, which was still a little painful, and slowly walked to my side: "Oh, you two don't have to be so negative. Let's think about it this way, the snow field here is so big, there are infected animals, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there are no uninfected animals at all? What if we find it? Right, right? ”
Zhang Qiang said, turning his head and secretly giving Wang Yi a look.
Wang Yi received Zhang Qiang's eyes and sighed.
He glanced at a few of us and said, "Indeed." The possibility of Hadron is not impossible. However, we need to hurry up and collect all the fragments here. After all, during the time we went to the Forest of No Return and the Desert of Resentment, perhaps the rest of the team had already carved up the fragments of the Devouring Swamp. ”
I thought about it and nodded: "Yes! Maybe...... Some of the fragments of the permafrost may have been picked up by the team that arrived before us. Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, but as the caravan member we met earlier, Ley, said. The Devouring Swamp was so harsh that they probably didn't even get there before they had gathered all the pieces there......
With that, I swallowed the remaining half of the words into my stomach.
Is all this really as smooth as we imagined?
I shook my head: "Forget it." Don't think about that yet. Since there is no hunting object nearby, we may as well pick some wild fruits and bring them back. And although the snow wolves have retreated, no one can say whether they will return here again, so let's get out of here quickly! After picking the wild fruits, I went back to discuss with Qiqi and the others, and then decided on the next action. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yi nodded approvingly: "Yes." Let's go!! ”
In this way, the few of us picked up the rope that had been used to trip over the two brown bears just now, and put away the shotguns and other things.
The group remembered that on the way to the hut, they had accidentally glimpsed the place where wild fruits grew, and then walked quickly towards it.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, we were lucky enough to find that place.
There were five or six trees with wild fruits, and the fruit looked a little like apples.
However, since we are in the game world now, it is possible that this fruit does not exist in reality.
Although Situ Cao said that the fruit should be fine, she only glanced at it in a hurry, what if she looked away?
When the time comes, take it back, or let her check it again.
I thought about it as I walked briskly to the bottom of one of the fruit trees.
The trunk of this tree is thick, and because it grows in severe cold conditions, its bark seems to be much thicker than that of ordinary trees.
There are many raised bumps on the trunk, which is very easy to climb.
I, Zhang Qiang, and Du Deming each stood under a fruit tree, while Wang Yi watched us from a lower position, in case something unexpected happened.
"Come on, brothers!!" I said this, and then I grabbed the trunk of the tree with both hands, and climbed upwards with my hands and feet.
After climbing about three or four meters, I was finally able to reach the lowest branch.
Looking towards the branches, I saw seven or eight red wild fruits hanging from the branches, each of which was about a quarter the size of the palm of a hand.
The fruit is stained with some snow and looks delicious.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva, fixed my legs on the trunk of the tree, clasped the trunk with one hand, and took out the long branch pinned to my waist with the other hand.
Zhang Qiang and Du Deming also picked up a long branch on the ground just now, so that it was more convenient to knock the fruit off the branch.
I didn't hesitate, picked up the branch, and turned sideways to the side.
Suddenly, the branches began to shake violently, and three or four fruits quickly fell to the ground.
At the same time, Du Deming and Zhang Qiang also laid several fruits.
We quickly thrashed the wild fruit on the branches.
When the three of us had laid a total of about eighty or ninety fruits, we finally stopped.
"That's it! That's pretty much enough! Let's go down! "After I finished talking to my teammates in the two trees next to me, I climbed down the tree first.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang and Du Deming also hurriedly climbed down.
At this time, Wang Yizheng bent down and piled up the fruits that had fallen everywhere.
Seeing the three of us climbing down from the tree one after another, Wang Yi looked at me helplessly.
"How can you bring back so much fruit? I came out in a hurry just now, and I didn't take a bag or anything like that. ”
I thought about it, then took off my coat, then took off the hiking suit I was wearing underneath, and put it back on my body again.
"Let's just wrap it in a mountaineering suit and take it home! Anyway, where we are now, it's not too far from the chalet. With that, I crouched down and began to pack the wild fruit into my mountaineering suit.
When Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Zhang Qiang saw this, they all took off their mountaineering clothes.
With that, we took a pile of fruit and quickly returned to the cabin.
Of course, at that time, we didn't know how much these fruits meant to us.
But that's all for later.
Knocked lightly on the wooden door a few times, and soon footsteps sounded inside.
The person who opened the door was Zhao Qiqi, and seeing that each of us was holding a bunch of fruits in his arms, Zhao Qiqi was slightly stunned.
She turned sideways to make a way, and a few of us were not polite, and hurried into the room.
