Chapter 4 Initial Strengthening
The mixture of thick clouds and dust has turned the whole world into a dark and cold world, and it is raining muddy rain with slag and dust almost all the time, and the rain is so cold that many of it is directly ice particles.
The ground is always muddy, and when you step on the ground, you can hear the clattering sound, which is a mixture of ice chips in the mud, because the dust obscures the sun, the ground temperature is very low, no one knows how many degrees below zero, and those who can survive are used to such low temperatures.
Once, in the sudden cold and dark environment, I don't know how many people died, no one studied these things, everyone simply wanted to live, even if they were not as good as pigs and dogs, the so-called ants still steal life is such a reason.
In the cold rain and the cold wind like knives, touching anything with your fingers can make Ran feel a chill to the bone, the palms of his hands are numb from the cold, and everyone's cleaning is full of cracks, but they have to grit their teeth and persevere.
In the hungry and cold labor, from time to time, people fell, but what attracted was the whipping, and the subordinates of Zhu Rulong, the boss of Montenegro Fort, would not care about the life or death of people like Huang Yi, even if there were only a hundred people here.
Those who fell could only get up on their own, and if someone else went to help, both of them would be severely beaten, and the 'civilians' here lived a life that was inferior to that of pigs and dogs.
Repeatedly picked up the stones scattered in the distance, walked dozens of meters and put them on the stone wall, so repeated I don't know how long I worked, and a dog-like knocking sound indicated that today's work was over.
Everyone insisted on finishing the last thing in their hands, and if they let go of the things in their hands when they heard the sound, they would get not food, but a beating.
Today's work is over, and a few cracks have appeared on Huang Yi's hands again, and he has been numb from freezing.
In the open space in front of the cave, a bonfire has already been lit, the flames are burning very strong, close to the bonfire, the feeling of warmth is really intoxicating, but a 'commoner' like Huang Yi can only enjoy this warmth when he has a meal every day.
There is a big iron pot on the bonfire, I don't know how long the iron pot has been smoked by the smoke and fire, the iron pot is churning food, don't think it's a good thing, it's just some unknown plants, and even grass roots and bark, as long as it can be eaten, and it can't be eaten, it's all messy and boiled in a big pot.
Of course, as the management of Fort Montenegro, they don't really want to torture Huang Yi and them to death, at least they will eat the leftover animal bones or something, and they will still throw them into the cauldron to cook, so as to add a little oil and water.
In other words, after all, after struggling in such a world for ten years, the people of Montenegro Fort have long been able to identify what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, of course, it was at the cost of not knowing how many people they gained experience.
Every day or two, Zhu Rulong, the boss of Black Mountain Fort, will personally take all the people out of the cave, go to the surrounding area to collect edible plants, if you are lucky, you can also meet animals, and you can take them back to eat after you die.
On the side of the iron pot of the bonfire, there were a few thugs with cold eyes, they were the subordinates of the boss Zhu Rulong, who were responsible for distributing food, they would not eat this kind of 'big pot rice' mixed with turbid rain with Huang Yi and them, they all opened a small stove with the boss Zhu Rulong and ate delicious food.
"Stand up honestly for me, line up one by one", a big man glanced at Huang Yi and the others coldly, and said coldly.
This kind of thing, naturally, goes without saying, after all, I don't know how many times I have experienced it, and no one has made a mess at this time.
Then, the 'cook', who was in charge of cooking, tapped the edge of the cauldron a few times with the long-handled spoon in his hand, like a dog, and then picked up a small wooden bowl from the side, scooped it in the pot at random, made a bowl of soup, and handed it to the first person.
Whoever gets it, no matter what is inside, feels like he has gobled it up to the side, as if he has eaten a supreme delicacy.
Black Mountain Fort, people like Huang Yi and them only eat one meal a day, only one bowl of food per meal, and many times they don't even have this meal, which shows the preciousness of food, and this is how it is caused by the fact that they are as thin as dried corpses.
There were no twists and turns, Huang Yi also got his own bowl of food, in the turbid soup, there was no such food as rice, only some messy plants, and even a piece of bark, despite this, this is also extremely precious.
To Huang Yi's surprise, there was a small bone with shredded meat in his bowl of food, so lucky, he hadn't eaten such a delicacy for many days, Huang Yi grabbed it with his hand for the first time and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, striving to eat the last shredded meat on the bone.
"The meat is really delicious", Huang Yi sighed in his heart, and in the clicking sound, he actually bit this small bone and swallowed it into his stomach.
After eating the bones, he began to eat the bowl of vegetable soup mixed with something he didn't know what to do, and ate it clean, including the unpalatable bark, and even licked the last trace of soup.
In such a world, food is the most precious, more precious than life.
Although there is a large pot of food, each of the dozens of toilers can only have one bowl, and the excess is carried away, and if nothing else, some other 'ingredients' will be added to it next time, and another pot of soup will be boiled and divided among them.
That pot of 'old soup', I don't know how long it has been boiling, the taste is actually very wonderful, for Huang Yi and them.
After distributing the food, the 'overseers', including Zhu Fei, are gone, and the long-term habit no longer needs to tell the next thing, the 'civilians' who have eaten know that they go to wash the dishes and put them in the designated place, and the door of the cave will be blocked at night, and they can't go out, in other words, in this world, is there a difference between day and night?
After eating, he washed the dishes and put them in the designated place, and a bunch of people crowded around the fire, and after the last trace of heat from the fire disappeared, Huang Yi, like everyone else, dragged his tired and numb body back to the cave, and the entrance of the cave was also blocked by stones.......
Back to his 'room', away from the fire, the cold and dampness hit again, Huang Yi will not be busy with the things that he was not busy with at the beginning, after the things that are done mopping the floor, go to wash the clothes, everyone knows that if you don't do a good job of personal hygiene, it is easy to get parasites, which will be fatal, so even if life is difficult, everyone will do a good job of personal hygiene, and finally lie down on their own 'bed/on'.
It's said it's a bed, but it's actually just a bunch of hay and the like, the kennel is better than this, don't think about the quilt or something, it's also something in the hay, because it's thick, if you stay in it for a long time, it's still very warm.
Huang Yi, who was lying on the 'bed/on', brought a piece of his own tattered clothes, touched the clothes, and the magical box in his eyes appeared in his sight again.
In other words, although life is difficult, everyone in Montenegro Fort is not short of clothes to wear, there were thousands of people living here, and the dead were all pulled to the red, fully expounding what is called the red striped to the red striped .......
"How do you strengthen this thing? Also, what is the energy point to"? 'Looking' at the information in the box, Huang Yi frowned and pondered in his heart.
This dress, in the prompt of the box, if strengthened, it needs to consume three so-called energy points, but it is just a box, it can't be touched, and the energy point doesn't know what it is, Huang Yi can only stare at the clothes.
"Worn-out clothes, strengthening requires three energy points...... is it strengthened? Yes/No", under the information displayed in the box, the golden font was very dazzling in Huang Yi's eyes.
"Strengthening? How to strengthen ......", Huang Yi looked at the words on it and said to himself in his heart, he couldn't touch the box, and finally he said to himself again in his heart: "Yes, yes, I want to strengthen ......."
Then, at the thought of this, he suddenly felt a tremor all over his body, as if something had been deprived of him, and he felt a feeling of weakness in his body, and a strange thing passed along his hand to the old clothes in his hand.
Then, Huang Yi, who was looking forward to it, found that his clothes had not changed at all, and he was still the same.
"It's not changing, is this strengthening"? After looking at his clothes a few times, Huang Yi muttered to himself.
But then, he noticed that the information in the box in his eyes had changed.
Clothes (gray font), Enhancement +1
Introduction: Worn-out clothes that can keep out the cold a little. (White Font)
It can be strengthened, and it takes 5 points of energy to increase 2, 80% of the enhancement is successful, and 20% of the enhancement fails to damage the item, is it strengthened? Yes/No. (Gold Font)
Seeing the introduction in the box, Huang Yi couldn't care about his inexplicable exhaustion and said to himself: "If I remember correctly, there was no +1 logo behind the gray name, but the white introduction has not changed, and the three points of energy needed in the back have become five points, the original success rate of 90% has become 80%, and the failure rate of 10% has become 20%, is this the situation after strengthening?" Nothing has changed!"
After thinking about it, Huang Yi confirmed the strengthening again, silently said yes in his heart, and then felt a feeling of weakness again, and something entered the clothes along his arm, and the appearance of the clothes remained unchanged.
The box shows that the gray name becomes +2, the white introduction does not change, the golden font, and the enhancement +3 requires eight energy, the success rate has become seventy percent, and the failure rate has become thirty percent.
"Still nothing has changed, huh? I don't believe it", Huang Yi, who was idle and had nothing to do, began to be more serious with this so-called reinforcement, gritted his teeth and continued, he just saw what changes would ...... in the end.
(Good soup should be simmered slowly, but it won't be as slow as the previous relatively documentary, and then upload a new book on the first day today, four more for support, recommended votes and collections can not be less, and then, the cover is made by the stone itself, and it feels like a general ......, and finally thank you for rewarding the brothers, thank you)
