"Hungry, so hungry......"

Behind a half-collapsed wall, a low curse suddenly sounded.

Lin Xi carefully moved his body, which had been curled up for most of the day, and the numbness in his legs and feet suddenly eased a lot.

Large pieces of sweat ran down his forehead, wetting the weeds that were tied up for camouflage, and the yellow, sharp blades of grass thorned in the bare skin, which could easily produce an unbearable itch, but he did not move, not even daring to play with it a little.

It's not that he's lazy, but because even the slightest movement will consume some energy, and energy happens to be the most scarce thing for him now.

In fact, if it weren't for the fear that staying in one position for a long time would cause his body to become numb, which would affect his ability to adapt, he wouldn't even be willing to move his body.

In just half a month of starvation, he has miraculously developed a set of energy-saving rules second only to hibernation.

It's a pity...... It's not an egg.

The food crisis of extreme shortages is like a sharp knife that always hangs across his neck.

If he can't remove this blade as soon as possible, then death will be a predestined thing, and it may be delayed by various means, but it will inevitably befall him in the end.

If that time comes, not to mention that his energy-saving methods are far inferior to hibernation, even if he can really learn the ability to hibernate, the final result is that he will never wake up from now on, and there will be no chance of waking up. After all, even snakes, bears, and frogs, which have hibernation habits, often spend months before hibernation to hunt prey and accumulate fat to combat the long cold nights and long sleeps.

But what about him? What does he have?

Except for a pair of hungry green eyes, almost all the fat on his body has been burned out in the past ten days, and there is no trace of life on his rough and chapped skin, and as for the once heroic and resolute cheeks, they are now deeply sunken by hunger.

It looks like a prisoner is a prisoner, a refugee is a refugee.

Appalling.

However, compared to the situation in his body, these outward misery seem to be nothing:

Extreme panic and hunger, like the cruelest executioner in the world, who has spared no effort to torment him these days, and now his entire internal organs are full of devastation.

The stomach pouch that has not been properly filled with a little food for more than ten days is like the purgatory that punishes sinners in the Bible, and there is a fire burning in it, and that ** incomparable burning sensation seems to be able to turn into hot lava at any time and erupt from his mouth.

The hunger was so intense that it was almost unbearable that his stomach spasmed wildly, and the resulting gurgling sound was as loud as thunder, as if it was going to turn his entire abdomen into a battlefield filled with thunder and fire.

"Gollum, Gollum—"

There was a slight sound in the belly clinging to the ground, then it became louder and louder, and at last, almost even the gravel next to it was almost shaken by it.

"This Nima...... It's almost time for the earthquake, right? ”

Stroking his belly, which was constantly protesting, Lin Xi licked his chapped lips and couldn't help but show a bitter self-deprecating smile.

Not far from him, a nest of mutant rabbits was grazing peacefully.

This litter of rabbits is very fat, and with a little movement, you can see the fat muscles rolling under the skin.

If Lin Xi, who had been hungry for more than ten days before the cataclysm, saw this litter of rabbits, he would definitely not show the image of a whole rabbit in his eyes, but would only think that it was a fragrant roasted rabbit leg meat that would run, and it was also the kind of super delicious that was roasted golden and oily, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, and even the tongue would be swallowed together when you took a bite.

But now, he could only bury his eyes deep between his arms, and did not even dare to look at the nest of rabbits more, as if he was afraid that if he looked at it more, he would not be able to suppress the greed in his heart, and startled the snake and scared away this last source of food.

You must know that his remaining physical reserves are definitely not enough to support another foraging operation.

In other words, if he can't find enough food to satisfy his stomach this time, he will have to starve to death.

More than ten meters away, the mutant rabbits are still leisurely eating grass and frolicking, from beginning to end, they all seem to be unaware of Lin Xi, the hidden watcher, and Lin Xi's target is not them, roast rabbit meat is delicious and tempting, but the dense spikes on the backs of these mutant rabbits are like a reckless food chain declaration, clearly warning every predator who wants to hit their attention:

I'm not messy either!

As a result, a very strange balance was formed between the rabbits and Lin Xi:

In the middle of the meadow, a large group of rabbits sat there with a big grin, eating, drinking, and having fun, but Lin Xi, a dignified seven-foot man, could only wait patiently beside him like a small guy.

With such a strong contrast, if you replace a person with a slightly stronger self-esteem, you may feel extremely humiliated, but Lin Xi doesn't care, and it can even be said that he is a little willing, after all, in his opinion, compared to the food that is about to arrive, he can't compete with a group of rabbits who don't know anything at all, not to mention, in his next plan, the more this group of rabbits eats, the better it will be for him.

The minutes ticked by.

As time passed, Lin Xi could feel that the burning sensation in his stomach was getting worse, and several times, he even suspected that maybe he didn't have to wait for the next second, he would completely lose his mind and rush out to fight those rabbits to the death: or, he would bite these rabbits to death and then have a full meal; Or, he'll simply be poked to death by the spikes on these rabbits, and he'll be a hundred.

Fight the rabbit to the death.

This sounds funny, but Lin Xi understands that in this crazy era, it is the most real cruelty.

Because since that day half a month ago, the food chain system on the entire earth has been overturned in an instant, and the current human beings are no longer the masters at the top of the food chain in the past, but just a group of poor insects that are so low-level that even rabbits can bully at will.

But fortunately, no matter what the overall situation of the human race is, at least this time, Lin Xi's luck is not too bad after all, and a foraging operation did not evolve to that point of being out of control in the end.

After another difficult hour and thirty-seven minutes, Lin Xi finally waited for his long-awaited moment:

At this time, these mutant hares were probably finally full and tired of playing, so they jumped to the side, pouted their butts and began to shit.

Looking at the rabbit that looked like black metal balls, Lin Xi's eyes lit up suddenly!

A young man who was hungry like a ghost, looked at a pile of with an extremely greedy and eager look, such a situation, if it was seen by others, I was afraid that it would feel particularly weird and disgusting, but now there are no outsiders here, and the nest of mutant hare also left by themselves after pooping, and Lin Xi didn't have the idea of beating them from beginning to end.

However, just after the back of the last rabbit also disappeared into a ruined wall, Lin Xi suddenly burst out with unusual agility, only to see him rush out suddenly, and then like a vicious dog that pounced, he pulled those rabbit feces into a pile as quickly as possible, packed them with the plastic bags he carried, and then rushed back to his hidden place quickly, the whole process seemed to have been rehearsed countless times in advance, skillful and exquisite, extremely fast, and the total time may not even exceed a minute!

"It's finally here!"

Behind the broken low wall, Lin Xi held the plastic bag containing rabbit feces, and his fingers and lips trembled with excitement.

Those who have not experienced that kind of hellish hunger can never imagine the desire to escape from hunger in those who are in hell. For these people, as long as they can fill their stomachs, even if they are made to eat and drink urine, they will definitely do it without hesitation.

For example, the current Lin Xi.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, and he is not going to eat this rabbit right now.

In fact, after continuous mutations, now these animals are no longer the pets that need to be carefully served by their owners, not only sharp backstabs have replaced cute fur, but also digestive ability has become extremely powerful, and the stool that comes out of their stomachs, valuable nutrients have long been absorbed by the mutated stomach, and the rest are some real excrement residues, which basically lose the value of ingestion for humans.

Not to mention anything else, if Lin Xi really planned to use these rabbit feces to satisfy his hunger, it would really be better to eat the soil on the ground directly, at least the latter didn't look so disgusting, and the organic matter content in it was a little higher than these dung balls.

"Hey."

Lin Xi picked up a stone, exhaled and made a sound, and with a snap, he smashed a hard rabbit feces, and then buried his head in a pile of black powdery feces, carefully rummaging through it.

Although the mutant hare has an amazing digestion ability, if it eats too much at one time, there are still some food residues that cannot be digested, mixed with the feces.

That's what he really needs.

His logic is clear:

Although these plant residues dug out of rabbit feces are very dirty, since the rabbit can eat them, it means that these things are definitely not poisonous, so of course he can eat them.

When it comes to survival, animals will always be more experienced than humans.

The alienated world is too dangerous, all living things are evolving and mutating rapidly, not only domestic pigs have grown fangs, rabbits have grown spikes, and even some things that usually seem safe have suddenly become extremely dangerous, poisonous plants and mushrooms are the most terrifying of them.

However, with the current position of human beings in the food chain, most of the time they can only pick some plants to satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, these poisonous plants have become the number one killer of dead humans.

Like a few days ago, a silly boy who lived in the bedroom next door to Lin Xi picked a plant from the outside that looked exactly the same as ordinary cabbage and came back.

It's a pity that just three minutes before the cabbage fell into his stomach, this big living person who was still talking and laughing in the last second suddenly bled to death in front of everyone, and his death was extremely miserable, that is, from that day on, the frightened Lin Xi kept an eye on what food, in his words, this world has become hell, and in hell, there is no creature that is truly harmless.

Of course, the downside of this is that his already unrich recipes are scaled back again.

Now, his staple food is basically found in the feces of various animals.

However, when he watched the acquaintances around him die one by one for one reason or another, he couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in addition to his sadness.

That's why he hit the idea on rabbit poop.

In any case, at least the one who died is not him for the time being.

"Found it, found it!"

With boundless thoughts turning in his heart, Lin Xi suddenly showed a smile on his face.

In the dung heap in front of him, some scattered grass stems and fruit pits were being inserted horizontally and vertically in the broken rabbit dung, and the number was even much more than Lin Xi had expected.

At this time, Lin Xi didn't care about the dirty, after he picked out these things, he just wiped them slightly, then took out a small grinder that he carried with him, crushed all the rhizomes and kernels, and then used a posture that could almost be said to be "hungry to eat", and devoured all the pieces and powder that were grinded, and he couldn't even care about the rabbit feces on it!
