After walking a long way, the two of them never found any traces of animals.

There are only the footprints of the two of them on the huge grass, and between heaven and earth, it seems that there are only two of them, and their feet are stepping on the snow, making a "creaking" sound, which can be transmitted far and wide, sounding ethereal and profound.

Cheng Ruxue said: "Could it be that there is not even a single animal on this island?" ”

Zheng Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, for polar animals, this is also a comfortable living environment, if there are no animals, it is simply a violation of the laws of the biosphere, let's look for it, where is this, we are not short of this time." ”

The moonlight fell on the snow, reflecting a faint silver, which allowed the two people to barely see the distance, not too dim, fortunately this is in the Arctic Ocean, the ground is covered by snow, if you encounter an accident on a low-latitude island, it may be really a black eye now, modern people's dependence on light and electricity has been completely engraved into the genes, what is the concept of complete darkness, no one wants to experience too much.

Zheng Xiaofeng never thought that this trip was actually a journey exclusive to the two of them, and when they were shipwrecked, they could even encounter such a low probability of things, and God really liked to joke about him.

But then again, the route of this trip was arranged by Wind Demon Qin, and he was such a careful person that he didn't notice the weather problem in advance, which made people feel a little unbelievable, maybe it was a hundred secrets.

For the next two hours, the two of them have been walking through the snow, Zheng Xiaofeng felt that there might not be large animals near the coast, so they have been walking in the direction of the center of the island, at this point, they have been moving almost ten kilometers, and the lifeboat behind them has long been out of sight, but fortunately, Cheng Ruxue has a compass, so they will not get lost.

The forest in the distance was getting closer and closer, and it was already possible to see a black oppressive patch, and the canopy of the trees stretched together, outlining a dark curve, as if a huge black curtain was erected there, and the stage that I don't know who belonged to it was obscured inside.

After walking for about a few kilometers, Cheng Ruxue suddenly raised her hand excitedly and signaled Zheng Xiaofeng to stop moving.

"Listen—it's like there's a voice——!"

Cheng Ruxue reminded loudly and quietly, for fear of disturbing the source of the voice.

The two of them hurriedly quieted down together, pricked up their ears, and sure enough, there was a faint "rustle" sound that seemed to come from the surrounding snow.

"Good fellow, there's finally a living thing." Zheng Xiaofeng muttered, such a continuous sound would definitely not be made by dead things, it seems that they did not make this trip in vain.

It's just that there is only snow around, and it doesn't seem to be a big guy if it can be hidden in the snow, Cheng Ruxue also said so, but Zheng Xiaofeng said: "It's good to have it, even if it's a fly, it's meat." ”

The two of them began to look around, trying to find the direction where the sound came from, and sure enough, they soon found an anomaly a few dozen meters to the left, the snow did not look uneven, and there were obviously traces left by something.

The two of them carefully touched it, and their steps were as light as they could, and the sound became more and more obvious, and when they got closer, the two of them saw a small snow hole appear on the ground.

A fluffy thing loomed inside, it must have heard the voices of two people, but it didn't run away in a hurry, maybe the little guy wasn't afraid of people, and maybe it hadn't seen anyone at all.

Zheng Xiaofeng reached out and grabbed it, and it was easy to squeeze it in his hand.

It is a palm-sized little chipmouse, very round, and quite cute at first glance, only to hear it "chirp" twice, and touched Zheng Xiaofeng's fingers with its mouth.

"...... this?" Cheng Ruxue asked.

"It's a lemming." Zheng Xiaofeng replied, "I guess I can eat it, but I don't know if you can accept it." ”

In the past, Zheng Xiaofeng still liked to read books, astronomy, geography, biological history, he knew a little, and he could be called an all-rounder with both civil and military skills, but his kind of well-informed and Dong Lack's kind is still different, one is academic knowledge, and the other is completely sideways, but now in this case, it is obvious that Zheng Xiaofeng's knowledge reserve is more useful.

Cheng Ruxue is not a delicate person, nodded and said yes, many southerners have eaten rat meat, like bamboo rats and the like, it is said that it is also a delicacy, Cheng Ruxue is also a southerner, I don't know if she has eaten it before.

"But it's just one, I'm afraid it's not enough to even stuff your teeth, right?" Cheng is like a snow road.

Zheng Xiaofeng said: "Then we can only continue to look for it, but unfortunately, if it is in the spring, this thing will migrate on a large scale, maybe we can see the overwhelming lemmings passing in front of us, and we can catch a lot of them casually." But fortunately, this thing does not live alone, if there is one, there must be others, this thing is the most fertile animal known in the world, one can give birth to hundreds a year, it is really not good, we can settle here, lemmings can't eat it all. ”

Of course, settling down or something is not serious, just saying something like this, so that Cheng Ruxue can feel at ease. Cheng Ruxue nodded happily, and the two of them began to continue to search around.

Soon, the two of them caught the second one, it seems that what Zheng Xiaofeng said was really right, followed by the third and fourth, and he couldn't catch them in his hand, Zheng Xiaofeng simply threw them into the backpack.

Some of these lemmings are colored and some are white, and obviously the white ones are more difficult to spot, but these two people belong to the kind of people with sharp eyes, as long as they move, it will be difficult to escape their clutches.

Before I knew it, I had traveled a few thousand meters, and the lemmings had caught a dozen of them, and a full meal was definitely enough, so the two of them grabbed a fire and roasted them first.

Cheng Ruxue set up a stove on a relatively flat snowfield, there were still two cans of fuel left, and if they wanted to make a fire after using these two times, they could only go to the distant forest to drill wood, Zheng Xiaofeng took out his knife and grabbed one out of his backpack, with an evil expression on his face.

To tell the truth, this little guy is really cute, probes his brain, and has no defenses against people, which makes Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue not very bearable to eat it, but there is no way, human life is at stake, and the two of them can only grit their teeth and be ruthless.

"Squeak——!

With a scream, the knife poked into the lemming's stomach.

After struggling for a while, the little one stopped moving.

After peeling the skin, there is only a pitifully small strip of meat left in the hand, and it is estimated that after the roast, it will be no different from beef jerky, but this is fine, and in this case, it is not necessarily a good thing for them to eat too much at once.

Cheng Ruxue also grabbed one and cleaned it up, men and women matched, and they were not tired of working, and after about an hour, more than a dozen lemmings were all dealt with.

"Mouse, rat, I will keep your great kindness in mind, but I don't know if any door will not contract excessive business, if there is, I will definitely ask Dong Que to thank you for it."

Zheng Xiaofeng said, picked up a piece of rat meat with a knife, and put it on the flame, and the meat made a "hiss" sound when it landed, and soon the smell of meat wafted in the air, and the two of them couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

If this scene is recorded and put in front of the "rat lovers", I don't know if the two people will be scolded miserably, but in the final analysis, the starting point of the so-called "rat lovers" is just a love, but kindness should also be limited and prioritized.

If the vast majority of people in the world can have the heart of loving others, of course, loving other living beings is a natural and natural thing.

This is why there is also a distinction between "torture and killing" and "non-torture and killing" in killing, a person who can torture and kill animals, it is difficult for you to believe that he has the heart to love others, because violence is already the seed in his heart, but the reason why the food chain exists is because this is the natural way of heaven, of course, there is no reason to violate it.

Xu Qingyun is in the underworld, but why does he give people the feeling that he has never been a bad person, think about it, maybe this is also the truth, survival of the fittest does not mean tyranny, and the law of the jungle is never a derogatory term in his behavior.

Therefore, some people who excuse their violent exploitation on the grounds of "survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle" have obviously confused the true definitions of these two terms, and those who naturally think that they are superior to others are, to put it bluntly, a brain-dead.

After ten minutes, the meat is grilled.

The surface has been coated with an attractive burnt yellow, and the two of them have never seen such fragrant food.

Of course, if all they have in their hands is a piece of now, they must have the same idea.

Zheng Xiaofeng handed the meat to Cheng Ruxue, motioned for her to eat it first, and then went to roast the next piece, Cheng Ruxue easily broke the meat in half and stuffed half of it back into Zheng Xiaofeng's mouth.

The outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the bar is very suitable.

The two looked at each other and smiled, sometimes, there is no need for earth-shattering romance, happiness is really that simple, they can be regarded as a bit of an old husband and wife.

The meal lasted for hours, and after a dozen lemmings had been emptied, there was still a lot of food in their stomachs.

But after being hungry for too long, they couldn't eat too much meat in a short period of time, so the two of them stopped, packed up, and set off to find the next wave of food.

Lemmings are indeed enough, but if you want to meet the needs of going to sea, it feels more reliable to catch large animals, Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue may still have to find them in the woods.

The two men continued towards the center of the island, and when they were still about ten kilometers from the edge of the woods, drowsiness gradually set in.

"Find a place and get some sleep first." Cheng Ruxue proposed.

Zheng Xiaofeng agreed, and the two of them found a big snowdrift nearby, dug a snow hole to keep warm, and the two of them just lay down in it and fell asleep.

This time, Zheng Xiaofeng didn't have nightmares, because Cheng Ruxue was in his arms, and there was nothing more reassuring for him.

This sleep is also very comfortable, after all, with such a soft girl by her side, it's strange to sleep badly.

It took more than six hours for the two of them to wake up again, which was already their best sleep in this time.

Without much delay, and after refreshing their spirits, the two men continued their journey, and two hours later they reached the woods.

It's been a full week since the separation of the main army.
