() Gerbils are the most common creatures in semi-sandy wilderness. In this brutal environment, rodents have once again proven their super adaptability.

In the semi-sandy land, food is extremely scarce. In most places, only weeds and shrubs can grow. Fortunately, there is a tuber plant called "sand pear" that appears in the wasteland. The rhizomes of sand pears are rich in nutrients, but they are inedible to humans and most living things, while gerbils can eat them as a staple food.

In the wilderness away from the Locke Bridge, a locomotive is moving slowly. The headlights at the front of the car emitted an incandescent beam of light that illuminated the vast expanse of land ahead.

While keeping an eye on the prey that might appear in front of him, Iron Slag explained to You Ge how to hunt gerbils.

When he was very young, his adoptive father would often take him to hunt gerbils in the middle of the night. Gerbils sleep in burrows during the day and come out at night to feed. They are bold and cautious, but they are also exceptionally agile. As a result, most people in Iron Mountain couldn't catch gerbils.

Iron Slag's adoptive father taught him that if you want to catch a gerbil, you must first calm down. Lying quietly near the rat hole, waiting for the gerbil to come out and feed. Secondly, when you find gerbils, you must shoot quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly!

"Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit, is that so?" You Ge asked.

Iron Slag frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "What is the virgin?" A rabbit is a rabbit that has shed its hair, right? ”

You Ge didn't answer his question, but sighed instead: "The adoptive father of the scum must be a very great person. ”

"Maybe, I don't know, anyway, the people in the town are very powerful." Iron Slag grinned. Because You Ge praised his adoptive father, he unconsciously filtered the previous sentence automatically.

"If I can see him, I must shake his hand."

Iron Slag involuntarily raised his head to look at the sky, and the stars were twinkling in the night sky at this moment, as if a pair of bright eyes were looking down on all living beings in the wasteland. After a long moment, Iron Slag took a deep breath, "He...... He has passed away. ”

You Ge hugged him tightly from behind and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry to mention your sadness." ”

"Iron Old Man, he will watch me from the sky." Iron slag pointed to the sky.

When the girl heard this, her hands tightened.

"What's so sad about this, someone dies every day in Iron Mountain Town, maybe I killed it." Iron slag to.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, flashing in his sight. Iron Slag quickly adjusted the front of the car, and the beam of the headlights immediately caught up with the black shadow. I saw a fat gerbil in front of me fleeing in a hurry under the illumination of the light. Iron slag tightened the throttle and accelerated to catch up.

Although the gerbil is not as fast as the locomotive, it relies on its nimble body to scurry left and right, and carries the locomotive around the wilderness. For a moment, the iron slag was unexpectedly unapproachable. So he adjusted his speed and chased after him without hurry.

After a while, the gerbil began to feel a little tired, after all, the locomotive would not get tired. Its body began to shake, and its running speed slowed down significantly. At this time, the iron slag throttle was fully opened, and it rushed over at full speed!

The front wheels of the locomotive were getting closer and closer to the gerbil, and when they were about to catch up, the gerbil suddenly sank down and disappeared into the ground.

Iron Slag stopped the car and jumped down where the gerbil had disappeared. He pulled out a flashlight and held it up to look around. After a few seconds, he found a hole in the ground with the mouth of a bowl and crouched down to observe it for a while. After confirming that this was the gerbil's burrow, he motioned for You Ge to come over and ordered, "Give me the pistol and a magazine of 9mm bullets." ”

At the end, Iron Slag took out two red scattered bullets from his body, skillfully disassembled the warhead, and poured the steel balls and gunpowder inside into the exit of the hole. Then, he took the 9mm bullet from You Ge's hand, and also disassembled the warhead and poured all the gunpowder and lead into it.

After a while, the exit from the hole was stuffed with bullet casings. Iron slag dug up the sand next to it and filled the hole in the ground, completely sealing the hole. Then, he pulled You Ge to ten meters away. Immediately afterwards, he raised You Ge's pistol and aimed it at the hole in the ground, reminding, "Cover your ears." ”

You Ge immediately covered his ears with his hands and hid behind the iron slag to look around.

The next second, the iron slag pulled the trigger. With a "bang", the bullet was fired into the mound, instantly detonating the gunpowder buried in the hole. I only heard a loud "boom", and a semicircular depression exploded on the ground. The power of the explosion is about the same as that of a fragmentation grenade.

Suddenly, the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke. When the smoke and dust cleared, two fat gerbils crawled out of the hole one after another, and they saw that they were about a kilogram in size. They staggered and crawled as if they were drunk. Iron Slag rushed over, scooped up the slower gerbil, and flicked its head with his thumb and middle finger. There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the gerbil was stunned alive.

Immediately afterward, Iron Slag pulls up You Ge and rides on a motorcycle to track down another gerbil. It didn't take long for the gerbil to recover from the vertigo of the explosion and quickly flee to the burrow of the next gerbil......

Next, Iron Slag used the same means to catch five gerbils of great variety.

"Can rats eat it?" You Ge asked with a frown. She looked at the strings of gerbils and felt a tingling in her scalp.

"Eating gerbils in autumn is the happiest thing." Iron Slag smiled. He then took a package out of the locomotive's canvas bag and placed it on the ground.

When the package was opened, there was a sharp knife and some flavorings, as well as a dozen sheets of silver glittering tin foil.

Iron Slag picks up a knife and cuts the throats of gerbils, then hangs them upside down by their tails to bleed. When the blood was drained, he decapitated the gerbil from its head and tail, skinned it, disemboweled it and entrailed it, then washed it with a small amount of drinking water, sprinkled with various seasonings, wrapped it in tin foil and placed it on the ground.

Next, Iron Slag collected some yellow weeds and dry shrubs around the area and piled them together with tin foil packets. After this qiē was done, the iron slag slashed open the lighter and lit the firewood.

In this silent, dark wasteland, a bright flame slowly ignited.

You Ge looked at the crackling fire and leaned lazily on the iron slag. Although it was desolate, cold, and full of danger, she felt warm and safe at home as long as she leaned close to him. Maybe he is not strong, but he will definitely protect her sincerely and with all his might.

The tin foil was wrapped in a scorching flame and made a "sizzling...... sound. Accompanied by the sound, the smell of meat emanated from the fire.

"Huh~" You Ge smelled the aroma of barbecue and couldn't help but scream. I saw her pick up a bush branch and try to remove the tin foil bag from the fire.

Iron Slag hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry, you have to roast all the oil out of the fat, so that the meat tastes the best." ”

"I'm so hungry." The smell of meat filled the air, and You Ge felt more and more hungry.

"There's a saying, what's ......" Iron Slag scratched his head and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh hard and raised his head, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" ”

When You Ge heard this, he was immediately stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. It took her a while to come to her senses, touch her forehead and ask, "Is this a description of eating?" ”

"yes, that's what it means to eat."

You Ge first turned her face and rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and then she turned around and asked Iron Slag, "Who taught you?" ”

"Lena's, what's the problem?" Iron Slag asked with a puzzled expression.

You Ge turned his face again, rolled his eyes fiercely, and cursed three times in his heart, "Great goblin! Then she turned around, put on a different expression, and asked Iron Slag with a grin, "Am I better looking or Sister Lina is good-looking." ”

"It's not pretty." Iron Slag replied dryly.

Hearing this answer, You Ge's heart was full of joy. This sentence 'not good-looking' means that in the aesthetics of iron slag, their appearance is a level.

"And who is worse?" You Ge asked.

"Is there a difference?" "How old is Sister Lena?" "It's like twenty this year."

"Both two...... Ten...... It's old~ It's so old~ It's all aunts. You Ge exaggeratedly sighed.

"Really?" "Old women are not good-looking." "But you're only two years apart, okay?" "The difference between women is two years as the difference between men is twenty years."

"As for it?" Iron Slag touched his forehead.

"When a woman gets older, her skin will deteriorate, from white to wheat, and then her breasts will get older with age...... "You Ge began to analyze Lina's problems from many aspects. At this time, she no longer felt hungry, and while Lena was not by the side of the iron slag, she desperately blacked her.

Listening to You Ge's words, Iron Slag felt a little puzzled. He remembered that Lena was only seventeen when she first arrived in Iron Mountain, and her skin was already wheat-colored. However, the boobs did get bigger.

Next, You Ge discussed this topic for half an hour......

Although the iron slag had some doubts, he did not raise any objections. After all, he didn't know much about women.

"You ...... You've had ...... Has anything like that happened? You Ge suddenly asked.

"What's the matter?"

"That's it...... It is...... That's the kind of thing. You Ge's face flushed, and he twisted and pinched.

"I don't understand."

Iron Slag actually understood, but in front of You Ge, he didn't want to answer this topic. After all, there is no girl who doesn't mind this kind of thing. At this time, the gerbil meat is almost cooked. He hurriedly changed the topic, "It's ready to eat!" With that, he picked up a bush branch and pulled the tin foil bag out of the fire.

Then, Iron Slag took out a dark green canvas mat from the locomotive's canvas bag and spread it on the ground. Then take out a rectangular aluminum lunch box. This lunch box contains a lunch box, and the lunch box contains a more lunch box, there are four of them in layers, and the innermost lunch box is placed with two sets of delicate knives and forks. This set of cutlery is a relic left to him by Iron Slag's adoptive father, the only relic.

These lunch boxes are a few years old, and the surface of the aluminum foil is pitted, and the corners are somewhat worn and yellowed. Each lunch box has a wolf's head engraved on the lid. This wolf head is painted in a simple and vicissitudes of life, like an old wolf king, with solemnity and glory to the moon long.

"Holy Wolf Emblem!"

You Ge stared intently at the lid of the lunch box, covered his mouth and screamed.

"What?" Looking at You Ge's reaction, Tie Slag asked puzzled.

You Ge didn't answer, she picked up one of the table knives and took a closer look at it by the light of the fire. On the handle of the dinner knife, a wolf's head is also depicted with the same as the lid of the lunch box. Although the wolf's head is carved very much on the skillful hilt, the precise knife work portrays the wolf's head vividly. The lines that make up the wolf's head are extremely complex, yet incomparably clear. This is definitely not an ordinary factory product, but a high-end custom product.

After reading it carefully, You Ge exhaled deeply, "This is the symbol of the guardian of the temple, the Holy Wolf Badge, and the people inside the temple call it the Holy Wolf Totem. ”

Although Iron Slag couldn't understand it, he could feel from You Ge's tone and attitude that it was a 'very powerful' thing. He told Sù You Ge that when the old man gave him the lunch box, it was the most valuable thing he picked up in the garbage heap, and asked him to keep it well.

You Ge thought for a while and offered to eat first. She was hungry and would tell him a story about the story behind this lunch box before she went to bed.

Then, the iron slag tore open the tin foil, took out the steaming gerbil inside, and used a sharp knife to cut off thin slices of gerbil meat and put them in the lunch box.

You Ge took a fork and tied up a piece of pale golden gerbil meat. In the firelight, the slices of meat are dripping with crystal clear oil, which makes people appetite. You Ge opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white, neat teeth. She slowly stuffed the slices of meat into her mouth, maintaining a rather elegant appearance.

Then, she took a gentle bite, and her mouth was filled with gravy, and the taste was extremely sweet. It was pretty much one of the best things she'd ever eaten.

"yes~" You Ge couldn't help but call.

The cheerful voice echoed through the wilderness, far away......
