Chapter 240: Food Crisis
Liang Cheng and his party had been walking for more than two hours, and the sunlight from the leaves above their heads had gradually become scarce, and the dark forest seemed more quiet.
The temperature around him began to drop, and Liang Cheng could feel that his skin began to tremble, and his body instinctively made Liang Cheng shrink into a ball. Half an hour later, Kull led Liang Cheng to find a slightly sunken cliff.
The top of the cliff is overgrown with various plants, and when you look up, you can see turquoise vines hanging from the branches.
"That's it." Chuhl stopped, slamming the bag on his shoulders at his feet.
The temperature at this time continues to drop with the passage of time, as if death is coming, making it difficult for people to notice. Liang Cheng took out the thermometer from his backpack, the temperature at this time was about 15 degrees, although this temperature was not cold for the summer heat, but in the current environment, people felt a kind of coolness from the bottom of their hearts.
Under everyone's busyness, tents were set up one by one, and those girls who did not participate in setting up tents all found dry sticks and formed a huge bonfire in the center of the tent circle. But only the man with black-rimmed glasses sat quietly on the ground not far away, as if he had done nothing.
When Liang Chenggang noticed this, Kull walked up to the man with black-rimmed glasses, stared at him for a long time, and then started and walked away. On the other hand, the man with black-rimmed glasses sitting on the ground didn't seem to notice this, and still sat there calmly.
Suddenly, the black-framed man raised his head and looked at Liang Cheng and asked indifferently, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing, did you bring your own tent? Use...... Do you need to help? Liang Cheng walked up to the black-rimmed man and stood in place, waiting for his answer.
He raised his head lightly, glanced at Liang Cheng, and then said casually: "Liang Cheng asked someone to help Liang Cheng set it up." ”
Liang Cheng looked at him and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The man with black-rimmed glasses didn't raise his head again this time, and the fragmentary bangs covered half of his forehead. Liang Cheng looked at his slightly fat figure, waiting for his answer.
"Chu Pingqiu." He replied with a blank face.
"Chu Pingqiu, Chu Pingqiu, Chu Pingqiu." Liang Cheng silently recited his name a few times, then stretched out a hand to him and said, "Liang Cheng's name is Gu Weiyi." ”
Chu Pingqiu raised his head and glanced at Liang Cheng, then raised a hand that was propped up on the ground, shook Liang Cheng's hand steadily, and said, "Hello." ”
It was already completely dark, and the campfire around the tent had been lit. The light of the fire swayed in the darkness, and the charcoal burst and rubbed into the sparks, staggering, and then vanished into the darkness.
Liang Cheng's twenty companions sat around the campfire, and the beating light of the fire reflected everyone's face.
"Liang Cheng needs to arrange a few people to explore the surrounding terrain after dawn tomorrow. But it doesn't need to be too far, just make sure to come back before dark. Kull said, holding a twig and pointing it to the ground.
Kuhl threw the branch in his hand into the fire and said: "At present, what Liang Cheng needs to confirm is Liang Cheng's own situation, Liang Cheng can't locate where he is, which will cause great variables to all future arrangements. ”
"Actually, Liang Cheng can roughly estimate where he is." The thick-eyed man glanced at Kuhl and said lightly.
Kull wasn't annoyed by the thick-eyed man's interruption, and motioned for the thick-eyed man to continue.
"Although there are many primeval forests above 2,000 altitudes, as long as all the disturbance factors are eliminated, the last remaining explanation, no matter how absurd, is the final answer. From about half past eight to three o'clock in the morning when Liang Chengmen's plane took off, it took a total of eight hours. The thick-eyebrow man pinched his fingers, looked at Kuhl with flat eyes, and continued, "According to the average flight speed of the plane at 626 kilometers per hour, there are more than ten places where Liang Cheng may have landed, but there are only three forests that match the characteristics that Liang Cheng now knows. ”
As he spoke, the thick-eyed man picked up a branch and hastily sketched the outline of a map of China on the ground, and then used the branch to point out three dots on it.
"Located in the area of Bai Mang Mountain; Jiajin Mountain as well as Changbai Mountain. After speaking, the thick-eyed man looked at Kuhl, as if he was giving him back the right to speak.
Liang Cheng listened to the words of the man with thick eyebrows and felt that this person was really powerful, in this case, with only some information, he could analyze this, and I am afraid that he is also a person with university questions.
There was a crisp popping sound from the burning branches of the campfire, followed by another flame rising leisurely. The silence of the night can bring a sense of uneasiness from the bottom of one's heart. The surrounding bushes, shrouded in the light of the fire, could only see patches of silhouettes, like hideous faces that had been cut by sharp claws and piled up dead skin.
Occasionally, a few beams of moonlight walking in the black clouds shone above his head, shining on these bushes, allowing Liang Cheng to vaguely see a minute or two. The silhouette of a twisted and swaggering twig is like black ink struggling on the canvas.
"Liang Cheng is now arranging the grouping." Kuhl's voice interrupted Liang Cheng's thoughts.
He looked around at everyone and continued, "Tomorrow everyone will be divided into five groups, four of which will explore and observe the terrain in four directions, east, west, north and south, and the remaining group will be responsible for collecting dry firewood and looking for everything to eat. Now, assign the members of the fifth group first, and the rest of the people are free to form four groups to observe the terrain. ”
Kuhl raised his voice, "Did anyone sign up to go out and observe the terrain on a voluntary basis?" ”
Everyone present was quiet, and no one answered.
"Okay." Kuhl's expression turned cold, and he pointed to the thick-eyed man in the crowd, then pointed to Liang Cheng, as well as the beaten small-eyed man and Chen Yunling's brother, and said, "You four, do you have any opinions?" ”
"I'm sorry, Liang Cheng won't." The thick-eyed man immediately refused.
"Liang Cheng won't either." The small-eyed man also said on the side, but he was still cowering when he spoke, probably because he was scared by Kull.
The green tendons on Kull's forehead twitched slightly, and he suddenly roared, "Shut up! ”
Everyone was startled by the sudden roar. Liang Cheng's body also shook suddenly, looking at Kuhl's face full of anger, he didn't dare to speak again.
"Liang Cheng will give you another chance to volunteer." Kuhl gathered his emotions and looked around the crowd. The fire shone on his swarthy face, giving him an unshakable sense of authority.
"Liang Cheng is an ordinary person." The thick-eyebrow man broke the long silence, and he had already become a bird, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Before this accident, Liang Cheng was an ordinary person. There may be white-collar workers, students, and doctors in the crowd, and it is not desirable to be trapped here. ”
Kuhl laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "So you mean to ask Liang Cheng to serve you with food?" In fact, you can also do nothing, after all, the limit of human survival is one month. But I'm afraid it's good if you can survive a week in these conditions, and if you can survive the third day without food and water, you can survive the third day normally. ”
