Chapter 146: Haihe River

By the time the two of them returned, Huo Dong had already lit the fire.

A few square meters of fish skin are spread out, and pieces of black smoked fish are placed on it.

Huang Jiahui's face was expressionless, she didn't seem to hear the quarrel between the two at all, she calmly put the wooden cups in front of everyone, poured a cup of milk for everyone, and said to Zhao Yali: "Taste this!" ”

Zhao Yali has a weak personality, so she loses her temper with familiar people, even if she is dissatisfied, she doesn't dare to give other people a face, she hurriedly said: "Xie Luxie!" ”

She took a small sip of the cup in her hand, then took another big sip and was silent.

Master Wang was not so calm, Brother Luo was too attentive, and the women were one after another, which gave her a great sense of crisis in her heart.

She kept looking at Zhao Yali with a hostile face, most of the paint on her face had been washed off by tears, revealing her true face, the more she looked at it, the more familiar she felt, she didn't care about the hostility, and said in surprise: "Did you live opposite my house before?" ”

Zhao Yali was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that in addition to Luo Yuan, there was also someone who knew herself, and looked at Master Wang carefully, but unfortunately Master Wang had already changed a lot, and she had no impression in her mind at all.

"I live across the street from your house, and I've used to meet a lot." Seeing Zhao Yali's puzzled face, Master Wang explained.

Zhao Yali thought about it, seemed to be really impressed, and said in surprise: "Why are you so old, and you are still with Luo Yuan." ”

"My parents are gone, so I've always followed Brother Luo."

Zhao Yali thought of her family, sighed, held the cup and drank the tree milk sullenly, worried about the future in her heart.

Seeing that everyone started chatting, and the atmosphere was not as dull as before, Cao Lin couldn't help but be curious, and said, "What are you painting on your face, I think everyone in the camp seems to have it." ”

Zhao Yali's face was a little confused, and she said: "The sap of a tree is insect proof, but the effect is not very good." ”

Except for Luo Yuan and Master Wang, everyone's eyes lit up, although this kind of juice smells bad and doesn't look good when applied, but compared to life, these shortcomings are simply not worth mentioning, Cao Lin hurriedly asked, "What kind of plant is it?" ”

Zhao Yali's face showed a hint of unnaturalness: "I don't know, it's all ...... Zhu Hao: They got it. ”

She was timid, and since she had come to the camp, she had never been outside in the dangerous jungle, and she had no idea what kind of plant juice it was.

A hint of disappointment flashed across everyone's faces. With so many mutated plants, trying to find out what kind of plant it is, if not like looking for a needle in a haystack, is almost the same.

Luo Yuanming didn't participate in these women's conversations, he carried a wooden barrel that he had made before and walked into the distance, which was full of low-lying land, full of water, which was left behind after low tide, and the salinity was very high under the long sun.

As Luo Yuan walked in, the bottom of the pond churned over from time to time, causing bursts of pollution, and Luo Yuan found several places, all of which were like this. He didn't care so much, he chose a slightly cleaner low-lying area, carried a bucket of water, and came back.

Seeing that they were ready to boil salt, Huang Jiahui and Cao Lin also came over to help, and the two stacked a few strips of cloth together to filter the sewage over and over again, but the strips of cloth are not a special filter material after all, even if they are filtered more, the water is still a little turbid, but now the conditions are simple, and it can only be so.

Once the stone pot is set, start boiling the salt. The fire burned so hard that the water soon boiled, and then salt precipitation came out.

The salt is not snow-white like in pre-apocalyptic bags, but somewhat half-gray.

"There are too many impurities in this salt, and I guess it will be very bitter." Huo Dongdao.

"It's better than nothing, I feel like I can eat a tael or two right now." Lin Xiaoji licked his chapped lips, he hadn't eaten salt for a long time, he had no taste for anything he ate now, even if it was bitter salt, he could eat it.

The water quickly boiled dry, and a layer of gray salt crystals appeared at the bottom of the pot, and it formed into pieces, which was not at all like the previous household salt.

Everyone couldn't wait to taste it, the salt was bitter and astringent, and it was full of sand and stones. Before the end of the world, even dogs would not eat this kind of salt, but now everyone not only does not change their faces, but also has some expressions of enjoyment on their faces, people who have not experienced it, never know the pain of not eating salt for a long time, some people even grabbed a handful, stuffed it into their mouths, chewed it hard like sugar, and swallowed it with sand and stones.

Because they haven't ingested salt for several days, except for Zhao Yali, everyone ate a lot during lunch, and as a result, everyone who was the most salty drank water wildly, and the bag of tree milk was also drunk.

After eating, everyone wrapped up the excess salt, packed their luggage, and set off again.

Along the way, you can see a huge skeleton stranded on the beach, these dead sea creatures have not had time to evolve to crawl on land, limbs and lungs, they died in the low tide, Luo Yuan saw one of the skeletons, even more than thirty meters long, eight or nine meters high, the huge skeleton like a hill lying in the shallow sea.

He went over to take a look, but found that it was just a dark blue-level creature, but its size was several times larger than a land creature like a monitor lizard.

Originally, Luo Yuan thought that this was all tidal flats, but as he approached the center of the cross-sea bridge, the tidal flats became less and less, and many slightly low-lying places were covered by seawater.

At first, you can avoid it. But gradually the lake grew larger and larger, and when the opposite shore was already in sight, it was blocked by a narrow strip of water several kilometers wide.

Luo Yuan looked left and right, and even with his vision, he couldn't see where the end of the sea was, and a wide river had almost formed here.

"The sea is too wide, should we turn back?" Huang Jiahui asked depressedly.

"I've come so far, and I'm really unwilling to look back." Huo Dong said with a bitter face: "It's already three o'clock, I haven't been walking for long, I'm afraid it's going to be dark, there is mud everywhere here, it's not even easy to dig holes in the ground, it's too dangerous to sleep in the open air!" ”

"Yes, the sea water here shouldn't be deep, I estimate that it will be three or four meters at most, and it should be fine for monitor lizards." Lin Xiaoji also said.

I finally got here, and the other side was already in sight, and it would be too demoralizing to go back.

On one side is the open air and the night is open, and on the other side is the danger in the sea water, Luo Yuan hesitated a little in his heart, feeling that there should be no powerful mutant creatures in this shallow water, so he decided: "Go into the water first and then say, if the water is too deep, go back directly." ”

Now that Luo Yuan has decided, everyone has no objections.

The monitor lizard waded cautiously through the water, occasionally letting out a roar that drove away creatures that tried to get close.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the water began to gradually deepen, and it had gradually sunk into the monitor lizard's thighs.

From time to time, the sea surface is swept by water marks at high speed like sharp arrows, or stirs up fierce splashes of water several meters high, and blood gushes from the bottom of the water from time to time.

Everyone's faces gradually turned pale, and Zhao Yali couldn't care about being angry with Luo Yuan, and grabbed his arm tightly.
