Chapter 67: The Two-Legged Sheep
At that time, in order to persuade Yang Lele and Tingting to drink soup and eat meat, Hu Kai also told the two of them the story of "two-legged sheep", saying that in the war years in ancient China, it was common to use bones as firewood and cannibalism among human flesh.
For example, during the Wuhu Rebellion, the Qian people never brought grain and grass to fight, but specially plundered women as military rations. This is where the "two-legged sheep" comes from, meaning slaves and livestock who walk on two feet and are driven like sheep, and are sacrificed for the soldiers to rape at night and slaughtered and cooked during the day.
This kind of thing sounds incredible, but it is not uncommon in times of war or famine.
Hu Kai said that although the cruise ship is still a civilized society, the current harsh environment is more serious than famine and war. People just want to live, and there's nothing wrong with that central idea! Therefore, in order to survive, some extreme behaviors made by people are understandable!
At first, Hu Kai's persuasion and personal demonstration did not work at all, but later, the two of them were really hungry, so they barely ate......
Of course, before cooking the broth, whether it is Han Feng or Hu Kai, or those foreigners, it is not that they have not tried other ways and means to solve hunger.
It was discovered that after throwing the bodies of tourists into the sea, there were a large number of fish in the sea, swimming back and forth under the boat, as if attracted by the corpses.
So, some people spent their energy to make a large net for fishing, and then let a few brave tourists hang down from the side of the boat and cast the net to catch fish.
Who knows, the number of fish in the water is huge, and it is extremely strong, and it can tear off the fishing net in three or two strokes! Later, some people tried fishing, but they also failed.
With no supplies in the oceans, people turned their hopes to the cruise ships themselves. Many people spontaneously organized themselves and actively explored the unknown places on the cruise ship, trying to find new clues.
However, not only did these people find nothing, but they were all finally electrorified by those mysterious currents.
However, this groping has not been without success. It was discovered that under the large pool on deck 1, there was a manual sluice. When opened, seawater can be pumped into the pool, so that people have an inexhaustible source of water.
Although all the water is pumped up, at least people can use it for bathing, washing clothes, flushing toilets, cleaning, and so on.
In addition, Han Feng and others also used this seawater to expose a lot of salt. This salt can be added not only to the broth as a seasoning, but also to marinate the meat cuts, thus extending its shelf life.
Naturally, there are no written rules about people's eating of human flesh. Every day at noon, Han Feng and they would make three or four pots of broth on time. People eat as much as they want, and they don't force what they don't want to eat, and if there is a leftover, they will continue to stew it the next day.
As time went on, people felt more and more that Han Feng had made the right decision! If the bodies had been disposed of, what would have happened to the ship now? Maybe even eating a living person can happen!
In this way, Han Feng's prestige has skyrocketed among many tourists, and he has become the undisputed leader.
Han Feng did have the corresponding qualities, in addition to solving the food problem for the tourists, he also took a lot of effort to gradually restore order on the cruise ship.
Under his leadership, people worked together: there were those who were responsible for cleaning, those who were responsible for medical assistance, those who were responsible for repairs and maintenance, those who were responsible for cooking, and so on. Although people's mental state is still in an extreme depression, the whole cruise ship is orderly and calm.
In addition, Han Feng also transferred manpower and set up a personnel department, registered the surviving tourists on the ship, and marked the relevant affairs that each person will be responsible for in the future.
Unexpectedly, after the statistics, the number of people on board exceeded people's expectations, reaching 718 people. Especially for Hu Kai and the others, it feels a little incredible.
Recall that at the beginning of the cliff, there were only about 500 people left, and then in a battle with the wildlings, they lost almost a hundred more people. If this is calculated, there should only be about 400 left on the ship, how can there be so many more people all of a sudden?
Later, after many investigations, Hu Kai found the answer.
Unexpectedly, Hu Kai only counted the people on the cliff at that time, but he didn't know that under the cliff, there was another wave of huge crowds!
The group had returned along the coastline, and when they found that the dock had been occupied by the long-headed natives, they did not dare to come forward. It wasn't until Hu Kai and they fought bravely to kill the natives that they came to the dock and boarded the cruise ship.
Coincidentally, at that time, Hu Kai had already gone to the hillside to rescue the people, and did not meet this large army, so he was kept in the dark.
The number of those people is at least three or four hundred, the Koreans who can shoot arrows, the Japanese star Rinaka, and the barrister Shadu and others are among them.
718 people!
Hu Kai felt unexpected, but in the eyes of others, this number was pitiful.
Compared with the more than 2,000 tourists who had gone before, they lost nearly two-thirds of their compatriots after a single whaling port, a figure that inevitably made those who survived feel that they would survive the catastrophe.
At the same time, this number is also like a wake-up call to remind everyone that the next stop is likely to be even more dangerous! If you don't deal with it carefully, you may be doomed!
That's the case, Han Feng and the others are also actively making preparations, and they use some of the items on the ship to start making weapons. At the same time, some young and strong lads are also being selected to do some militarized tactical training.
Today, the nature of the Neptune cruise ship has changed dramatically. Cruise ships are no longer a pure means of transportation, and people are no longer tourists who come out for a walk.
All of a sudden, the cruise ship seems to have been transformed into a sea base, and the tourists have become the residents and soldiers of the base. From now on, they have become a collective, and they will face more unknown challenges!
"Ah......h
Under the sun, Hu Kai yawned and stretched hard.
Seeing Hu Kai get up and get dressed, the rabbit girl Xiaomei looked at her watch, still sleepy-eyed and asked, "Hu Sang, it's not time to start eating, you got up so early?" ”
"Hmm!" Hu Kai got dressed, came to the door, and said, "I suddenly remembered something, you go back to sleep, see you later!" ”
"Hey!" Xiaomei was lying under the covers, but she was still so polite, "Sai has Nala, Anata (dear)!" ”
After leaving, Hu Kai walked straight to Yang Lele's room.
may be because he is gradually getting used to the broth, although Yang Lele is still pale, but his mental state is much better than before.
"Lele, I think of something!" Hu Kai asked straight to the point, "I passed out that day, are my previous clothes still with you?" ”
After Yang Lele heard this, his eyes were dull and he thought for a moment, and then stretched out his finger towards the wardrobe.
After Hu Kai opened the wardrobe, his bloody windbreaker came into view.
He hurriedly crouched down and rummaged, and soon found what he was looking for, which was the cruise ship card from the wild man's lair!!
