Chapter 11 Finding Food
In the basement, Chu Tian's footsteps moved quickly, and the long knife in his hand kept waving. The long knife flickered from time to time between the churning of the long knife, and with the fluctuation of Chu Tian's footsteps, the long knife also became sometimes sluggish and sometimes fierce, and it really had a bit of the taste of water.
Not far from Chu Tian's knife practice, Nangong Qianqian sat on the front of a black car, her hands on her knees supporting her delicate little face, her glowing eyes staring at Chu Tian with some concentration, and she didn't know what she was thinking. When she saw Chu Tian finally stop, she immediately jumped off the front of the car and greeted him.
"Brother Tian is awesome! In just over a few months, I have already practiced my brother's heavy Lang Tingtao knife technique. ”
As soon as Chu Tian stopped, he heard Nangong Qianqian's boasting, and he shook his head helplessly. Turning to look at the oncoming little beauty, a smile appeared on her slightly panting face, and she smiled: "Sissi, I am about to blush when you say it, Chonglang Tingtao is artistic conception knife skill, where is it so easy to learn, I only understand its shape slightly." ”
Chu Tian was also a little bitter in his heart, it had been more than a month since Nangong Yu last taught him the Artistic Conception Knife Technique. Although he studied hard and practiced hard and practiced in his dreams, the progress of his sword skills was indeed amazingly fast, but he could only achieve the likeness, and could not be truly godlike.
After all, this is the artistic conception knife technique, about the "artistic conception", he always felt a little ethereal, and there was a feeling that he couldn't start, let alone comprehend. So much so that after more than a month, he still hasn't figured it out, and it's hard to understand the mystery.
Nangong Qianqian came to Chu Tian's side, with a faint flush on her face, and said excitedly: "Anyway, I think Brother Tian, you have already practiced very well, even if it is such an arrogant person as my brother, he has to admit your talent." In just over a month, I can practice my sword technique to such a state, even if it's my brother, it's probably a little reluctant, right? So I'm not exaggerating at all! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's time for Brother Yu to hear it again!" Chu Tian said with a smile, he heard Nangong Qianqian say this, and his heart was also a little comfortable.
"Humph! He's just a stingy guy, just ignore him. Nangong Qianqian didn't buy Nangong Yu's account at all, and she still had some nostalgia for Nangong Yu deliberately hurting Chu Tian last time.
"Who's the stingy?"
As soon as Nangong Qianqian's words fell, Nangong Yu's lazy voice came in.
"Brother Yu, why are you here?" Chu Tian said with some surprise.
Since Nangong Yu returned from the Western District, except for teaching him to practice knives, he didn't know where to run the rest of the time, and rarely showed up. Usually Chu Tian is asked to practice swordsmanship by himself, and when he saw Nangong Yu coming here today, Chu Tian was also a little surprised in his heart.
Nangong Yu glanced at Nangong Qianqian, and deliberately laughed: "If I don't come again, some people will use me as a punching bag, so am I so stingy and unbearable?" After speaking, he turned his gaze to Chu Tian, obviously asking for his opinion.
"Uh...... This, this is a complete misunderstanding! Brother Yu, how can you be a stingy ghost! The corners of Chu Tian's mouth twitched, and his expression was quite helpless.
"Humph! It seems that I taught you the boy's knife skills in vain. Nangong Yu looked at Chu Tian's unbeaten expression, and he didn't get angry.
"Forget it, I don't care about villains, and I don't know as much as you kid!" Nangong Yu pursed his lips, and then said seriously: "I am looking for you this time, there is something to do. ”
"What's the matter?" Chu Tian looked at him with some confusion.
"The third uncle came to me just now, saying that there is not much food at the base, and I need to go outside to get some. He hopes that you can join them, after all, you are familiar with the outside environment, and now you are also strong, and you can properly protect others at critical moments. ”
Nangong Yu glanced at Chu Tian and continued: "I also hope that you can go with them, after all, it is not a matter for you to practice your sword skills here." The artistic conception is not something that can be comprehended by blindly practicing hard, and there may be more opportunities to comprehend the artistic conception when you go out to adapt to the sinister environment. ”
Chu Tian nodded without thinking about it after hearing this, he also knew his current situation, and thought that Nangong Yu's words were reasonable, and the hard practice of more than a month also made him feel a little boring.
"I'm going too!" When Nangong Qianqian heard that she had the opportunity to go outside the base, she immediately couldn't help jumping out, grabbing Nangong Yu's clothes and swaying, staring at him with a look of hope.
Nangong Yu looked at her with a little headache, thought about it, and said, "I won't go out with them this time, because last time I had a bad relationship with Xu Sanscar in the Eastern District, the third uncle was afraid that when he went out to look for food, Xu Sanscar would take people to take advantage of it." So just in case, I'll stay at the base this time. ”
"I went out the other day, and after more than a month, the lost people outside gradually gathered near the base, and the predators also increased. So it's definitely very dangerous out there now, and if you insist on going out, who cares if something happens? ”
Nangong Yu said bitterly about the precipitousness outside, hoping to scare away Nangong Qianqian and dispel her thoughts.
But this time he obviously underestimated Nangong Qianqian, and after Nangong Qianqian heard what he said, not only did she not flinch, but became more active. With an excited look of hope to go out and open his eyes, this made Nangong Yu head up for a while.
"Brother Yu, Sissi wants to go out, then let her out! I've been staying in the base for more than a month, and I guess she's really depressed, so it's okay to go out with us, it's all a distraction. Chu Tian looked at Nangong Qianqian's hopeful gaze, and also persuaded Nangong Yu, "And isn't there me here?" I'll protect her, don't worry! ”
"This ...... All right! Since you're going, follow along! But don't stay away from Chutian, otherwise it will be difficult for him to protect you. Nangong Yu finally relented under Chu Tian's persuasion, he also knew that his sister had been suffocated in a short period of time, and it was not a good thing to go out to face some dangers and dangers.
"Brother Tian, you are so good!" Nangong Qianqian got her wish, immediately loosened Nangong Yu's clothes, turned around and hugged Chu Tian, her little face flushed slightly.
"Hey...... But I let you go, why do you thank this kid? Nangong Yu said stupidly, and after seeing Nangong Qianqian ignoring his words, he immediately sighed: "My brother has really failed!" ”
"Ahem! Can you not hold it so tightly? I'm running out of breath. Chu Tian said with embarrassment.
……
"Xiaotian, you came just in time, we all have everyone here, let's go now!"
After seeing Chu Tian and the three of them coming, Third Uncle Zhen Dongshan immediately greeted with a smile.
Chu Tian looked at him and found that in addition to Zhendong Mountain, there were seventeen people.
Among them were four middle-aged strong men, and the rest of the thirteen were all strong young men, each holding an iron rod in his hand and a pistol pinned to his waist. They are all good at this base, and they are also the predators of the survivors of the Southern District, and they all look a little excited at the moment, and they are obviously very happy to go out to find food this time.
Together with Chu Tian and Nangong Qianqian, a total of nineteen people, each took five small cars, and slowly drove outside from the dilapidated low building outside the base.
"Third uncle, where are we going to get food this time? Is the goal clear? ”
Chu Tian looked at Zhendongshan in the driving position in front of him, he was sitting in the same car with Nangong Qianqian and Zhendongshan.
Due to the rush of the incident, he still didn't know much about Jihua's goal this time, and he didn't know where he was going, but he also knew a little about parts of the Southern District.
More than a year has passed since the mutation occurred, and most of the edible food near the base has long since been cleared by the survivors. There are also many places where the food is eaten by the lost, who have no mind, but have an instinct, and the instinct to eat is also naturally there, otherwise they would have starved to death.
As for the other three districts of Haicheng, it was not in his consideration, after all, each district has its own shili, and going to other districts to find food is a provocative act, and it is easy to fight, so he is a little curious about the destination of this trip.
Zhen Dongshan pondered for a while before he said slowly: "I forgot to tell you that this time we are going to the section of the pedestrian street in the West Block, where we have not been there before, and there are not many lost people in that section, so there should still be a lot of food left." ”
"What? Is there any danger there? Chu Tian looked at his expression and knew that it might not be so easy to find food this time.
"Well, there used to be a pet cat breeding shop there, and it was the only one in the entire Haicheng, so I'm afraid this time will be very tricky."
Sure enough, as soon as Zhendongshan explained, Chu Tian's heart sank. You must know that all the animals in Haicheng have become very terrible predators after the mutation, and this kind of predator is much more terrifying than the lost.
"Pet cat......" Nangong Qianqian muttered to herself, and only after a while did she exclaim in hindsight: "Wouldn't there be a lot of cat predators?" ”
"That's true." Zhen Dongshan smiled bitterly, looked at the slightly ugly faces of Chu Tian and the others, and then said: "This is also a last resort, because now only that part of the entire southern district has food!" ”
Zhen Dongshan slowed down the car, turned his head to look at Chu Tian and the others, and smiled: "So this operation will be very dangerous, if you want to leave now, I won't blame you." ”
"Third uncle, what are you talking about? Since we're all here, we won't back down! Chu Tian smiled with a relaxed expression, saying that he would not leave because of danger.
"Hey, hey! I knew you kid wasn't leaving! Zhen Dongshan grinned.
He was very satisfied with Chu Tian's answer, and his facial expression relaxed a lot. After all, Chu Tian's strength should not be underestimated, and the reason why he was brought this time was to let him take care of the survivors who came this time at a critical moment, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties.
"But don't worry too much, I've already sent people to explore that place several times, and I haven't found any trace of those cats recently, so I guess I'm either leaving Haicheng or going to hunt for food in other areas, otherwise you think I'll be stupid to take my brothers to death?"
Chu Tian grinned and didn't say anything more, but sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”
