Chapter 52: Food Shortage
With the first time, there will be a second and a third. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mo Ran and Annie, the novices who have tasted the sweetness, are tired of being together every day, you and me, flicking the corners of each other's mouths with their tongues, and they are never tired of it.
The other three who really couldn't stand it decisively chose to avoid it, can't this Nima be provoked and can't hide, so Chu Wenle directly gave up this house to the two of them and lived alone in the original Annie's room.
The two-person world that no one disturbs is warm and happy, but Mo Ran is not as comfortable every day as he imagined.
If you can see it, you can't eat it, it's not that Anne refuses, it's that Mo Ran doesn't want to take Anne away for the first time so hastily, no matter how you look at it, this is not a comfortable environment. And time does not allow it, now that the rainy season is almost over, the danger that will happen next can be described as catastrophic for them, after the first break, there will definitely be restrictions on movement, in case there is any danger, then it will be regretted.
And now the weather is too humid and cold, if there is a relationship during this time, it will be very bad for Anne's health.
After all considerations, Mo Ran still controlled his emotions and became 'inferior to beasts'. Every day during the day can be cool and crooked, but at night, this time period that could have been romantic and chic has become a torment period, forcibly endure the fire in my heart, and fall asleep with Anne's warm and fragrant delicate body, which is really painful and happy.
Since opening the precedent, Anne has begun to become very active, even Mo Ran is a little unbearable, the key is that this little goblin does not learn to use his own means of seducing people, almost a small action or hidden eyes can make Mo Ran enter estrus・・・・・・
But in the face of this little delicate flower picked by Ren Jun, he was stunned that he couldn't pick it, and he had to be a dedicated and dedicated florist, this feeling was simple!
Time passes slowly between the splashes of rain.
There is no time for the rainy season to arrive, and there is no specific end date, maybe the next moment the rain will gradually die down and the clouds will break through the sky.
Therefore, a month after the rainy season arrived, Mo Ran and the others began to prepare for the battle.
The enemy they will face is not man, but the carnival of nature.
In the face of nature, how can human beings resist, at least with their ability, they do not have that ability.
This time, you will have to face the real legendary 'Flood Beast'. After the rainstorm season, it is normal to have a small flood, as long as you hide in the low depression, everything is not a problem, the real problem is the jungle beast that has been trapped by the heavy rain for a month.
As long as the overly hungry beasts wait for the heavy rain to stop, they will come out of various shelters and hunt frantically.
That's when they really faced the danger. Both sides are fighting for food, as the saying goes, 'people die for money, birds die for food', and now people also have to 'die for food', the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, not only courage, but also refers to combat effectiveness.
Let's say, a hungry rabbit with red eyes can flip over the five of them?
But in the face of hordes of large beasts and the ubiquitous hidden dangers, they are overstretched, manpower is sometimes poor, and two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, after all, compared to the beasts that live in the jungle all year round, the human body is still too fragile.
Humans rely on intelligence, while beasts rely on fighting skills and strong bodies, and each side has its own strengths and weaknesses, which is superior or inferior, and can only be reflected in battle.
"How are the basic equipment prepared? These things must be prepared, our guns and ammunition are limited, they can't be used as mainstream weapons at all, if we want to survive in the future, this is the key!" asked Mo Ran, who lowered his head and sharpened his steel knife with a piece of sand.
"The preparation of the stone spear is sufficient, but there is still a large gap in the arrows, after all, this kind of thing requires too much effort, and it cannot be produced in large quantities in a while. Chu Wenle thought about it for a while and told him about the current general equipment manufacturing situation.
"I knew this, I should have prepared for it before, but I didn't expect the rain to be so abundant this year, it's been a full month, and the trend has not stopped, and when the rainy season passes, we will face even more pressure. Mo Ran raised his head and glanced at the continuous torrential rain outside the house, and couldn't help frowning.
The first two rainfalls were not perverted to the current level, the shortest one ended in early 20 days, and this time it has maintained a trend that has not weakened for a whole month, so I can't help but worry.
If it was just him or Chu Wenle and the two of them, it would not be much of a difficulty, and he grasped the dangerous period after the rainy season.
But now there are others, especially one Anne, who holds an important place in his heart. He will never let Anne suffer any harm in this crisis, this is not his promise, but he wants to fight for his life to fulfill himself.
"Moreover, we have already run out of food, and if we continue like this, even if we barely survive until the end of the rainy season, our combat effectiveness will not be one in ten. "Food is a big problem, Chu Wenle has said it many times, but so far he can only use the green fruits he has picked up to satisfy his hunger.
Every time the fruit is picked up, it has to be further selected by Chu Wenle before it can be eaten. Now Mo Ran doesn't dare to eat any messy things anymore, it was because of eating that fruit last time that a series of things happened.
The fruit is called 'green gall', which is a poisonous fruit that can also be used as a medicinal herb. Although the name is similar to that of the green cow gall, it is not the same thing at all.
This thing looks somewhat similar to green apples on the outside, there will be an astringent feeling in the mouth when eating, and there will be no poisoning symptoms when eating, but after a few minutes, the abundant juice in the fruit will be absorbed by the body at a very fast speed, and the tongue and mouth will be paralyzed first, and then it will paralyze people's nerves, and even hallucinations will occur in severe cases.
This kind of thing is not common on the entire island, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by Mo Ran last time.
He had an impression of this thing because Chu Wenle had mentioned it to him, and what he said was naturally its medicinal value and paralyzing hallucinogenic effect, but Mo Ran didn't remember it at that time, he only had a little impression of this thing, and he completely forgot about the good and bad, so this kind of oolong incident would occur.
Of course, without this matter, the progress between him and Anne would not be so fast, it can be said that there must be advantages and disadvantages, and this is the truth that blessings and disasters depend on each other.
Chu Wenle, as a high-achieving student majoring in biological sciences, although his main research direction is not this one, after all, he is not interested in medicine, but he has also dabbled in it, and he can distinguish the fruits and effects of some plants, so at this time, with his professional 'security inspector', others dare to eat the green fruits they have picked with confidence.
But eating fruit all the time is not a solution, the consequence of a large intake of vegetarian fiber is that Xiao Hei's black face has some dishes, and others are not much better, and Anne is better, and she doesn't eat much every day, and the demand for food is really not so big, although sometimes I feel hungry, but compared to Xiao Hei, it is much better.
"Wait a minute, you can go out with me to try your luck, if you really can't find it, you can't help it. Mo Ran said helplessly.
These days, he watched Anne eat the same green fruit every day, and he felt very uncomfortable, after all, he had said before that he would give her the best living environment, but now he has broken his promise.
In fact, it's no wonder that he has a bad environment here, not because he doesn't work hard to give Anne a better life, but because the conditions don't allow it.
During this period, he and Chu Wenle ran out I don't know how many times, each time they were drenched into dogs, but except for picking up more fruits and coming back, they didn't find anything at all.
In this kind of ghost weather, the animals can't nest out, and it's too difficult to find food in the rainstorm.
The rabbit pen in the cave had been consumed by them during this time, otherwise they wouldn't have survived now.
It's not that they're going to die, it's that the terrain isn't too high, and when they got there, many of the rabbits had already drowned, and the only ones that were left were saved from drowning by stepping on the corpses of their companions.
If they had known that this was the case, they should have gone over and cleaned it up earlier, and they would not have ended up in such a pity. But the construction of the house was in the middle of nowhere, and there was no time to take care of these things, and by the time they had slowed down, the heavy rain had already flooded the sturdy rabbit cage.
Originally, in order to prevent the rabbit from escaping, but at the bottom and around the laying of stones, the gap between the stones can flow out of the rain without the rabbit being flooded, but under the heavy rain washed some large sand and gravel in the flowing water inlet, to the later more and more sediment, and finally directly blocked the outlet of the drain, will cause such a big loss.
But it has happened, and their remorse has no effect, all they can do is continue to look forward and find a new way out.
Disappointed time and time again, everyone's confidence has been worn out, and they finally understand how difficult it is to get food during the rainy season.
But Mo Ran still didn't plan to give up, even if there was only a one-tenth chance or even less, he had to try again, not for anything else, just to make Anne eat better.
As big men, this bit of hunger is not enough to cause any real damage at all, at most, they have no strength, and their combat effectiveness has decreased, especially him and Chu Wenle, who have become accustomed to it.
But Anne can't, she's a weak girl, stuffy in a room that doesn't see the light of day for a month, and suffers from damp and cold all day long, if the quality of food can't keep up, it's easy to fall into hidden dangers, and if you're not careful, you'll fall ill and fall.
At that time, it is not a matter of not having enough to eat, without medical facilities and effective drugs to treat it, it is likely that a single illness will take a life.
Therefore, even if the opportunity is slim, Mo Ran will go out again and again in the face of the torrential rain to look for it. But the rain is too strong, and they have limited time to go out every day, otherwise it will be difficult for them to hold on to it with their physique, and if any of them with combat effectiveness falls ill when the rainy season is about to end, it will be a terrible disaster.
