The heat wave distorted the air, but it revealed a long-lost heat, although it was unbearably hot, but compared to the downpour and cold wind of these days, this heat wave was really valuable.
But......
If it weren't for the fact that the strong men of the vanguard team withstood the pressure, fought to the death of the corpse clan and the zerg again and again, shed blood, experienced one storm after another, and baptism of cruelty and war, how could the 700,000 survivors survive until now?
Out of Linchuan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they were trapped for four days and four nights, everyone was afraid, and they were more eager to rush to Yongcheng, so they walked very quickly, and there were very few people in tow, even if there were really old and weak women and children who couldn't walk, there were many people rushing to help
Today, because Li Jiayu and others have become spiritual idols and soul beliefs, there are not many survivors who have completely blackened and degenerated in the apocalypse, and only about 30% of the people who are selfish and self-interested, 40% of the people who are wise and indifferent to protect themselves, and the rest are kind people who are more and more shining with the brilliance of humanity and can help others in difficulties.
Although there are not many kind people in the team, when you see those young people volunteering to help the disadvantaged, carrying the elderly with bicycles, climbing the hill with children on their backs, and crossing the cracks in the ground, you will find that some people are really admirable.
Of course, there are not a few people who collapse in the last days, especially after experiencing so many dangers and witnessing so much blood, some people with weak ability to bear will more or less be psychologically distorted and turn into frightened birds.
Fortunately, thanks to last night's victory, most of the fugitives have more hope for the future, and although they are not confident, at least they are not as pessimistic and depressed as before.
For most of the day, the fugitive team traveled more than 30 kilometers, and only when it was too late to walk did they set up camp among the mountains and forests, but most of the fugitive team was already hungry and screaming, and their faces were full of sadness.
"I'm so hungry......"
"Whoever has food, share a little with me, my daughter is so hungry that her lips are blue......"
"Little brother, can you divide my crisp noodles in half, I'll exchange this dagger for ...... with you"
"Mom, the rhizomes of those glowing plants I ate last night hurt my stomach...
"Ah Xue, look at how hungry your father is, you can't bear to let him eat tree roots and wild vegetables every day? I also have a canned beef here, hurry up and take it to replenish the old man's body, eh, wait, don't go so fast, this is a deal...... You have to stay with me for one night, just stay with me once, and the canned beef will be yours! ”
"Fleur, don't feed your baby anymore...... You can't eat enough yourself, and you're so thin, and if you breastfeed him like this, sooner or later your body will collapse......"
"Then what can I do, I can't watch my child starve, if I'm so hungry that I can't produce milk, I'll cut my flesh and drop blood and feed him to drink...... In any case, I will also bring the child to Yongcheng alive! ”
"No, Fleur, don't do that, okay! Throw away the child, in such a world...... Babies are just a liability! We couldn't keep him safe, and we didn't have any food to feed him...... If you breastfeed him, within a week you will be too weak to walk! Now is the time to choose one or the other, the child can go to Yongcheng to have another one, but if you die, I don't want to live anymore! ”
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are thin, and the mountain wind is whistling, but the complaints, wails, sighs, and cries of the 700,000 fugitives are heard one after another, mainly because of the problem of food.
As early as four days ago, the fugitive team was almost out of food, in a state of shortage, many fugitives had already run out of ammunition, and could only try to find food, and some even ate a lot of rhizomes and strange leaves of strange plants in Linchuan County, making them full of strange diseases and very uncomfortable......
Until last night, in addition to the surplus grain accumulated by the large organizations, the other ordinary people basically had no inventory, and then the corpse tide broke out, and most of the east and west of the city fell, even if the corpse clan retreated later, but also let a lot of stored grain be contaminated by corpse poison and can no longer be eaten, so there is really some surplus food, only Xijiang University and the military headquarters of the two cities are left......
The haze of food shortage made everyone demoralized, sighing......
Along the way, there are naturally people who keep collecting wild vegetables and wild fruits on the way, and even those bitter grasses and aquatic plants that are difficult to swallow are also scrambling to get them, and the beasts and birds in the forests and mountains are captured by the masters of the vanguard early, they are also human beings, and they will be hungry!
In particular, those hand-to-hand combat professions such as berserkers, strongmen, fighting qi masters, and qigong masters must consume a large amount of food, because they must draw enough energy from food to be able to maintain the consumption of their bodies.
However......
With a huge team of 700,000 people, there is too much food to consume...... The little food picked by the road is far from in short supply, so the problem of food shortage is becoming more and more serious, plus 700,000 people have been tired all day, excessive exercise has made that hunger even more intense, and many girls who have not eaten for a few days are so hungry that they faint!
There is a river along the way, Chu Xiang often gets into the river water, and wants to go into the water to fish, but for some reason, the water specialties in this area are quite scarce, but low-level insects such as bloodsucking insects, strong acid leeches, and mercury giant insects dominate the king, if it weren't for Chu Xiang's dragon armor defense is strong enough, I am afraid that it would have been killed by the swarming water bugs.
After a busy day, Chu Xiang caught less than 200 catties of aquatic products, which was far from enough for so many people in Xijiang University......
"Jiayu...... When the end of the world broke out, we took the lead and seized a lot of food, and in the past half a month, we have often relied on Chu Xiang to have fish to eat, so to this day, we still have a large amount of grain stockpiles......"
Li Jiayu and Yan Zisu were talking softly next to a bonfire, the fire made their faces red, secretly, Li Jiayu gently held her sister-in-law's jade hand, and softly did ideological work for her, and hoped that she would accompany him again tonight, but unfortunately her sister-in-law decisively refused, Li Jiayu still wanted to stalk, but the voice of dyed red xia suddenly sounded behind her.
Nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, as soon as she heard Ran Hongxia say that, Li Jiayu knew that Ran Hongxia must be overflowing with compassion again, and wanted to share the food in stock with others.
This brainless, rotten good guy who messes around with righteous spring!
"Well, so what, do you think we have too much food, so you think we should lose weight and donate all our food selflessly?" Li Jiayu spread her hands and rolled her eyes at Dye Hongxia, a trace of cold mockery appeared on her face.
"Jiayu, please don't be so yin and yang, okay...... If you go outside, many children haven't eaten normal food for two or three days, and their stomachs are flattened with hunger! Dyed Hongxia's eyes were a little red, obviously she had seen too many miserable situations of being tortured by hunger after going out just now, but this girl was very soft-hearted and liked to be helpful......
"Oh, so what...... Isn't there a lot of bark and grass roots on the road? These are all edible, those people are really hungry and dizzy, they can go all over the mountains to find bark and grass roots to eat, they will definitely not starve to death, presumably the plants within a radius of ten miles are enough for 700,000 people,,..." Li Jiayu said coldly.
"Li Jiayu! Why are you like this! Can't you just be a little sympathetic? Can you bear to watch those children starve so badly? If you eat too much bark and grass roots, you will die! ”
"Everyone is fair in the last days, even children, they need to face the cruel living environment in the last days...... Besides, we don't have a lot of food at Xijiang University, so what role can you use to distribute it to hundreds of thousands of hungry children and the elderly? Enough for them to eat? Or enough for them to consume for a day? Don't be stupid, it will take us a month to go to Yongcheng now, even if you give them all the food, it will be a drop in the bucket, and you can help them today, so what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Those who starve to death will starve to death, and you will not be able to stop the hunger frenzy of the last days! ”
"No, that's not the case...... We have the ability to help the elderly and children, so why don't we help? Most of them are young and strong adults, even if they eat wild vegetables and tree roots every day, they can survive, as long as they grit their teeth, they can survive...,,, but those old people and children can't survive, they have to eat some easily digestible food, maybe we can't help them too much, but we help them survive this time, maybe we can meet the red-capped beetle in a few days, and maybe we will pass through the melon orchard, and then we can get enough food, Jiayu, you can help a ......" said, Dye Hongxia blinked her watery eyes pitifully and hopefully, and looked at Li Jiayu pitifully.
Yan Zisu also stood up and helped Dye Hongxia speak:
"Yes, Jiayu, we have Chu Xiang, he can bring us hundreds of catties of aquatic products every day, it shouldn't make us hungry too badly, besides, eating bark and grass roots for a month is nothing to our inheritors, but those old people and children can't suffer so much, maybe if we lend a hand, they will still be starved to death on the way to Yongcheng, but as long as one-tenth of the people we have helped can reach Yongcheng safely, it is also worth it!"
Yan Zisu is also a soft-hearted person, and he even followed the red glow and became nervous, in favor of giving good food to others, and then wronged his own people to eat bark and grass roots every day......
But since her sister-in-law spoke, Li Jiayu could only grin helplessly, and said expressionlessly:
"Whatever, anyway, the food in the team is not in my hands, you can give it to whoever you like."
