Chapter 24: The Hunt
"Holy, it's disgusting!" After receiving the food handed by the little girl, Liu Chang's expression was reflexively wrinkled, feeling the softness and stickiness in his hand, he frowned and said, "Is this still bread?" It's a ball of yarn! ”
"I really can't eat it at all." The fat man looked at the food with a look of pity on his face.
"What then? We haven't eaten seriously in two days. "The mental tension all the time, coupled with the consumption of running back and forth, is easy to make people hungry, and everyone has not eaten seriously for two days, and they are a little tired and hungry.
"The military should send some military rations, although all the food in the military ration depot is inedible, but they will always have some way." Li Qingshui leaned on the bed and said weakly: "Let's wait and see." ”
"Hmm." Several people nodded, falling silent for a moment.
This time they didn't have to wait long, first Xiaoyong's family came back, and then the military food delivery people came.
"Half a pack of compressed biscuits or half a can of canned food for one person. One serving per person, not more than one. "The people who delivered the food didn't talk nonsense, and in the blink of an eye, after distributing the food according to the head, they pushed the cart away.
"This military compressed biscuit can be stored for much longer than the supermarket ones." After Li Qingshui took a pack of compressed biscuits, he studied the packaging bag on the spot, "This sealing technology is much better than those biscuits in the supermarket, and the moisture is also dried, which is very conducive to preservation." ”
"The cans are also very well sealed and have no contact with the outside world." The fat man unscrewed a can, sniffed it and said, "Although it's a little sour, it's still edible!" ”
"But one person is half a share, which is not enough at all." Zhu Lin sat on the edge of the bed and said faintly.
"Let's make do with it." Liu Chang took a bite of his own half of the biscuit, took the mineral water, and rushed the biscuit that swelled into his stomach.
In fact, half a biscuit, or half a canned food, is only a matter of three or four mouthfuls in total, and everyone has been hungry for a long time, and they eat very quickly.
After eating the day's meal in minutes, several people lay on their backs on their beds.
"I've eaten and I'm hungrier, do you feel this way?" The fat man rubbed his belly, and there was a "gurgling" sound from inside.
"Is it because you've eaten and secreted more stomach acid?" Liu Chang also felt even hungrier after eating, but after he lay down for a while, he still got up and sat up: "Although I am hungry, I have replenished food and calories, and my body will not be too weak." Take advantage of this momentum, go out and do something, or you will starve to death sooner or later. ”
"That's right, I don't think the military has many food reserves, and even now, half a compressed biscuit, or half a can, a day, is really just a drop in the bucket." Li Qingshui said: "It's okay to say that the biscuits, canned food can't be eaten in two days, and it will be even more embarrassing at that time." I think if we want to live, we have to go out and find food by ourselves. ”
"Although it is dangerous outside, the animals and plants are growing and multiplying, and if you are lucky, you can still find a lot to eat."
"Well, yes, you can eat the stems and leaves of plants, and you can cure the flesh of animals. I think it's better to do it......" Liu Chang heard Li Qingshui say that he went out to find food, and lowered his voice and said: "Teacher Li, you are familiar with plants, you should be able to distinguish which plants can be eaten." Then you will take the fat man and Zhu Lin to collect some plants in the courtyard of the military region or in the surrounding area, and I will see with the little girl if there are any weak animals outside, and see if we can bring some meat. We split up and can always find something to eat. ”
"You're hunting alone?" When the fat man heard what Liu Chang said, he shook his head and said, "That's not good, it's too dangerous, I don't know what plants are, I'll go with you." ”
"You're so fat, your goal is too big, it's safe for you to follow me." Liu Chang heard that the fat man wanted to come along, so he made a joke and rejected his kindness, "You just follow Teacher Li, I have a little girl here, and there will be no danger." ”
"Not necessarily." Li Qingshui listened to Liu Chang's words, and also shook his head and said, "Didn't the little girl sense it before you went to the toilet and encountered the monster?" ”
"Nope." Hearing Li Qingshui's words, the little girl shook her head: "It wasn't until its tentacles stretched out that I sensed its existence." ”
"In other words, this kind of sensing is the same as the mobile phone signal, and it will be blocked?" Liu Chang frowned, "It doesn't matter much, after all, there are still a few monsters in the soil." We'll look around here, and we won't be reluctant if we don't have anything, so you can rest assured. ”
"I ......" The fat man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Chang: "It's so decided, don't be a mother-in-law, my life is big, I can't die, wait to eat meat at night." ”
After saying this, Liu Chang took the little girl's hand and walked out of the house.
"Let's go, let's go." Liu Chang pulled the little girl, walked out of the house, walked out of the barracks dormitory building, and came to the more red and foggy world outside.
It wasn't a silent world outside the barracks dormitories.
Because the entire courtyard was crammed into too many people, and it was the time for food distribution, although the barracks courtyard could not be said to be lively at this time, it was definitely not as quiet as outside.
Ignoring the crowd who were waiting for food to be distributed, Liu Chang led the little girl out of the barracks compound.
Walking directly to the gate of the barracks compound, Liu Chang saw that there were still people coming from all over the city to seek refuge at the gate.
"The number of people is still increasing, there are more monks and less porridge, and the army is almost overwhelmed." Looking at these crowded crowds, Liu Chang pulled the little girl to a corner - even in this apocalyptic environment, it is still difficult to see the shadow of mutant creatures in places where the flow of people is at its peak.
This phenomenon of a group gathering at its peak while other creatures consciously avoid it is, in the final analysis, a territorial concept, produced by the innate self-protection consciousness of animals, and the iron-like laws of nature.
"Let's go look in a place where there is no one, it's best not to get too far from here, and you pay attention to the surrounding area to see if there are any dangerous creatures, and the kind of creatures that appear in a large area." Liu Chang led the little girl and explained as he walked: "Whenever there is a creature with too high a danger value or too many of them, you must hide your body as soon as possible, and then hint to me by pulling your clothes that I will not leave you too far." ”
"Our target this time is a lone creature with a danger value of 1 or less. Got it? ”
"yes, I see." The little girl nodded vigorously.
"Alright, let's go." After saying this, Liu Chang walked out first, took out the two scalpels that had been prepared and held them in his hands, and started the first hunt in his life.
