Chapter 816: Borrow some food
Food and water, these two things will always be the most precious in this wasteland, because they can make people survive, and the four words "survive" are the most basic instincts of any life, without food and water, those bandits who are just willing to join the resistance may do something.

Rantis didn't even dare to say that they were running out of food, and if the bandits in the team knew that the food was about to run out, they would immediately mutiny, steal the only food left, and go to become their own bandits in the wasteland.
So Lantis just tried to downplay the food problem with a few people in the inner circle, and everyone who understood the seriousness of the matter couldn't help but worry, except for the turtledove, who didn't have much of a big idea.
"What then?"
Worm got to Landis, and after getting along for such a long time, Worm felt that Rantis was still a good person, and the other people in the "Commando" were all very good, and Worm was happy to treat them as his friends.
Since they are friends, they don't need to have too many scruples when they talk.
However, this has to be done when Natalia is called aside by Schultz to whisper, and when the little aunt is around, the little worm seems to be much more restrained, unless, as Schultz said, the little worm proves to Natalia that she has the ability to take care of herself, and then Natalia will no longer stand by the side of the little worm as a protector.
Of course, if the turtledove can prove that he has the ability to protect the insects, that is also possible.
"I haven't figured it out yet."
Lateis shook his head, he is not a fairy, two pieces of mouth can conjure food one by one, and the food is not sand, stones or anything, you can pick up it all over the ground, so he will gather these people together, everyone will brainstorm and solve the problem as much as possible.
"Aren't there many ruins of towns nearby," Helena stepped forward to give Lantis an idea, "maybe we can send some men to look through the ruins and see if we can find something to eat." ”
"This will work."
After a little thought, Landis agreed with Helena's suggestion, but the problem is that there is not much food left in the ruins of the town, and even if there is, it will not be enough for thousands of people to eat for two or three days.
"I have a solution."
At the critical moment, it has to be said that it is the best to make the head of the worm.
"What's the solution, say."
Rantis looked up at the worm, he couldn't wait to hear the solution to the ending question from the worm's mouth.
"Him."
The little worm pointed to the turtledove next to him, everyone was confused at this moment, and the turtledove himself was even more confused, he pointed to his nose in confusion, and said:
"Me?"
"That's right, it's you."
The worm nodded solemnly.
"You're kidding," Turtledove shook his head like a rattle, "where am I going to get you rations for so many people, and take ten thousand steps back, even if all of you come to stew me into a pot of soup now, how many people can you feed?" Don't mess with you. ”
Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to himself, the little worm "tsk", and then said:
"Who wants to eat your stewed soup, and you only have a few catties and a few taels, how can it be enough for thousands of people to eat, I mean you can borrow emergency food for us."
"Borrow?"
Turtledoves don't quite understand the structure of the insect's thinking circuit.
"Borrow," the worm repeated the word again, "isn't it not far from the black iron mine here, Caitlyn said that according to the speed of the large army, it is about five days' journey, and if I and the turtledove go alone, will we be able to get there faster?" When we get to the black iron mine, we will immediately return with the food we borrowed from Turtledove's father, and that will solve the problem. ”
"Don't worry, Turtledove's dad is still pretty good, I've seen him."
Looking at the people who had fallen into silence, Xiao Worm added another sentence, who knew that everyone still didn't say a word, Xiao Worm couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why are you all dumb, say two words." ”
"The leader of the city of rats is Hannibal, and you should know his title, Man-Eater."
Lateis voiced the doubts in everyone's hearts, you must know that people who have mixed a little outside the law have heard of the name "man-eater", a man-eater, a robber leader who has really eaten human flesh.
Despite the brutality and tyranny of the robbers in the extralegal lands, there are still a few who have eaten human flesh, and it is said that the man-eating rat has not only eaten human flesh, but he even wrote a special cookbook, which records the cooking techniques and tastes of each part of the human body in detail, which is simply mad.
Hearing Lantis say this, the little worm suddenly didn't know how to respond, because the word "man-eater" is indeed more widely known than Hannibal, and many people may not have heard of the name Hannibal, but for "man-eater", everyone knows it outside the law.
"I'll bring food back from the Black Iron Mine."
The awkward silence was broken by a promise from the turtledove, and he stood up, his fists clenched tightly, no matter what others thought of Hannibal, he always regarded Hannibal as the old man he had raised, and he believed that Hannibal would definitely lend a helping hand to the refugees in the oasis who had traveled thousands of miles.
"Okay, I've finished solving the problem, do you have to repay my personal favor?"
The little insect stood up with the turtledove, and she smiled at Rantis and the others who were still squatting on the ground, and this smile made Rantis shudder, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end.
"What, what favor?"
Rantis touched the back of his neck a little uncomfortably, he had a very bad premonition.
"Help me make a plead with my little aunt and ask her to allow me and the turtledove to go to the black iron mine first," the little worm said, "The last time the little aunt was mad, you guys were very unrighteous and pretended to sleep, this time no one wants to pretend to be garlic, if you don't help me beg the little aunt, I won't let the turtledove go!" ”
"This, this ......"
Wiping the beads of sweat on his head, Rantis didn't want to promise the worm, but thinking about the burden on his shoulders, he had to bite the bullet and say to the worm: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”
"It's not about doing your best, it's about succeeding! And just in case, Ichidove and I went first! ”
The worm walked over and patted Rantis on the shoulder, and when Rantis thought of telling Natalia about the worm, his legs couldn't stop going limp, and he couldn't walk.
……
As the sun sets, Turtledove and Worm are speeding on their way to the Black Iron Mine in a modified pickup truck, and she can't help but laugh as she looks out the window at the backward scenery. (To be continued.) )
