Chapter 6 The Food Crisis

After lunch, Yang Xiao walked around the neighborhood for a while, there are no other people in this mountain forest yet, he is still safe for the time being, after all, there is no food on the mountain, and everyone generally does not choose to take refuge in the mountain.

After a brief movement, Yang Xiao returned to the big rock again and took a nap.

Although he tried his best to control himself to reverse his biological clock, his sleep during the day was still intermittent, usually waking up three or four times in the middle of the day, and it was impossible to sleep soundly throughout the day.

Today is the third day after the cataclysm, and the people at the foot of the mountain are starting to become restless, many people have run out of food and water, they have searched for places to rummage inside and outside the academy, and most of the food has been hidden by the collapsed buildings, and there is only a limit to what can be found.

Due to the large number of corpses buried in the collapsed ruins, it has begun to decompose and emit a stench after three days, which also makes it painful to find food in the rubble.

There is no water in the water pipes for a long time, and there are several small lakes in the college, but the water in it is very dirty, it is green on weekdays, with some rotten smell, this kind of water is not drinkable.

In the event of a catastrophe in a modern city, fragile ecosystems immediately show a fatal weakness.

What's more, on the third day of the catastrophe, everyone still did not wait for the government's rescue team, which disappointed everyone's hopes and was a torture for everyone.

Fear began to grapple with everyone.

If you are in the countryside, you may be able to find cleaner rivers and vegetables and fruits in the fields.

Some of the students began to discuss heading out to villages outside the city in search of food and water.

A few of the students were puzzled and walked up to the gene store to ask Gubo.

"Mr. Gubo, is it true that you said that the genetic mutation of the earth's creatures will occur in seven days?"

"Hehe, of course it's true, today is the third day, wait four more days to see you, the question is, will you survive to the seventh day?"

Gubo spoke in a relaxed tone, as if none of this had anything to do with him, he was just a spectator.

So far, the gene shop has not done anything to help everyone, and the two samurai at the door have stood 24 hours a day without the slightest sense of tiredness.

The door of the gene store is also open 24 hours a day, anyone can enter the store, the little old man Gu Bo will usually chat with everyone casually, and his attitude is also kind, of course, he said at most about genetic fragments, telling everyone how to hunt beasts after the genetic mutation of earth creatures, obtain genetic fragments and sell them to him.

In everyone's opinion, Gubo is specially here to acquire genetic fragments, and as for what genetic fragments are, everyone has no idea at present.

Dozens of students banded together to leave the academy and set off for villages dozens of kilometers away in search of a new way out.

Snatching of food began to occur frequently, each accompanied by bloody conflicts.

Suffering from hunger, some of the girls who had no food and no organization began to give in to some evil boys, exchanging their bodies for a bottle of water or a pack of biscuits.

Xiao Zhe's team of more than 100 people was powerful, with plenty of food and water, and people kept begging Xiao Zhe to take him in, but Xiao Zhe directly refused.

Qin Yu, a third-year girl in the Department of Finance, a well-known school girl in the whole school, is in Xiao Zhe's team at the moment.

"Xiao Zhe, they are so pitiful, we still have a lot of food, let's give them a little."

Xiao Zhe has always been Qin Yu's suitor, this cataclysm is an excellent opportunity for him, of course, survival is far more important than love, not to mention, if Xiao Zhe wants a woman now, it will be a matter of minutes.

Last night he took a bottle of water and a packet of biscuits and put a girl with a bit of a look.

"Hehe, Qin Yu, our food is also limited, don't look at the fact that we have collected a lot of food, but we have more than one hundred and fifty people, and we consume a lot every day, besides, the ghost knows how long we have to hold on? God knows when the government's rescue team will come? ”

Xiao Zhe's words immediately received a response from his companions.

For the sake of their own survival, most people expressed their opposition to those outside the relief team.

Qin Yu was a little excited and said:

"Are we just going to watch our former classmates die like this? And the girls, don't you see them being bullied by those hooligan boys? ”

"Qin Yu, what I can do now is to protect you and the safety of all of us, I can't control so many other people, our ability is limited."

Qin Yu was helpless, she knew that she couldn't convince Xiao Zhe, even if she persuaded Xiao Zhe, the rest of the team wouldn't agree.

Outside the dividing line of Xiao Zhe's improvised camp, dozens of girls looked at Xiao Zhe and them with pleading eyes.

Qin Yu relented, took out half a pack of biscuits and a small half bottle of water from her backpack, walked to the sidelines, and handed it to a familiar girl, who was her classmate Huang Wen.

"Huang Wen, you take it, I can only help you with this."

Huang Wen didn't eat and drink water yesterday afternoon, took Qin Yu's food, immediately stuffed two biscuits into her mouth, ate too quickly, choked, and quickly poured two mouthfuls of water.

Huang Wen's side, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the food in her hand.

Huang Wen hesitated, broke the cookies into small pieces one by one, and distributed them to the dozen or so girls around her.

These girls are all mediocre girls, no man will be willing to give up their food for them, led by Huang Wen, they formed a temporary small team, huddled together for warmth, and resolutely did not bow to those evil boys.

Huang Wen handed the rest of the water to everyone.

"One person, one small mouthful."

Everyone silently passed the water bottle, and everyone wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but no one did so, only took a small sip to moisten their throats.

"Qin Yu, thank you!"

Huang Wen said.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you too much, I'll leave half of the food for you every day in the future, you come to me and get it."

With tears in her eyes, Huang Wen nodded, turned around and walked away with a group of sisters.

A young man took a fancy to one of the big-breasted girls and walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Senior Sister Chen Fei, half a bottle of water, half a box of biscuits, if you need it, come to me at night."

"You?"

The girl named Chen Fei looked angry and shy, and didn't know how to answer.

"Hu Peng, you stinky rascal, if you want to be shameless, you know how to bully our girls."

Huang Wen shouted angrily, holding Chen Fei's hand,

"Fei Fei, let's go, don't pay attention to these scumbags!"

Hu Peng smiled and said:

"Chen Fei, don't say I didn't give you a chance, you are still worth half a bottle of water and half a box of biscuits, and tomorrow, it will only be worth half a box of biscuits."

The less food there is, the more precious it is.

Huang Wen spit out a mouthful of phlegm and pulled Chen Fei away.

"Sisters, we must stick to our inner beliefs, don't bow to these hooligans, we must save ourselves."

"Sister Huang Wen, how can we save ourselves?"

Someone asked.

"It's hard to find food, water sources can still be found, there is a waterhole at the foot of Yueshan Mountain, we bring a pot that can boil water, go to the waterhole to boil the water, and there will be water to drink."

Huang Wen's words reminded many people, everyone remembered that there is a waterhole at the foot of Yueshan Mountain, the area is not small, and the water quality is okay.

"What about the food?"

"Alas, I can only go to the mountains to look for it and see if there are any wild fruits, or wild vegetables or the like."

"Sister Huang Wen, it's autumn now, there should be no wild vegetables, and if there are wild fruits, there don't seem to be any wild fruits in this mountain."

"Then it's better to eat the leaves and grass roots than to wait here to die."

Huang Wen said angrily.

"However, the old man of the gene store said that after seven days, the creatures will mutate, and there are many animals on the mountain, so it must not be safe!"

When everyone heard this, they were surprised again, and there was silence.

Huang Wen finally had to say helplessly:

"Then let's go to the waterhole to boil some water, let's go and pick up some empty water bottles, it's better to have water to drink than no water."

Everyone finally reached an agreement, found two iron basins in the ruins, turned over two lighters, and more than a dozen girls bravely went to the waterhole at the foot of Yue Mountain.
