Cold, hunger.

Never had an experience like this.

Thin strands of rain fell from the sky, and the dark green dense forest was shrouded in rain and mist, and even though it was already light, the surrounding light still looked dim.

Towering giant trees have risen from the ground, and the trees in this forest are huge, some of them are even more than two meters in diameter, and they have been going through a long time.

Bai Ming hid in a tree hollow with a short knife with several notches, and the tree hole was not clear whether it was natural or artificial, but it provided him with a shelter from the wind and rain.

In the other corner of the hollow there was a little wet wood, which seemed to be the rainy season, and the area had been raining almost all the time since he had arrived a week earlier.

Wet twigs couldn't be lit, and he tried to light them but only got a cloud of smoke, and the moist air made his skin cling to clothes that might have been made of coarse linen, and the sticky feeling was very palatable.

Although the level of warmth was not high, it managed to save him from being naked, providing him with the most basic temperature protection from freezing to death in the wild last night.

At the entrance of the tree hole, there are a few leaf cups made of wide leaves and rhizomes, and the drizzle falling from the sky is stored in the leaf cups one by one, compared to the puddles on the ground, Bai Ming feels that the rain is a little cleaner.

After waiting for more than half of the water accumulated in a few leaf cups, Bai Ming carefully took a leaf cup and took out two pieces of slap-sized black and yellow dry food from his clothes and underwear, to be honest, he couldn't tell the specific materials of this dry food, and the color and shape were disgusting like human excrement.

But no matter how disgusting it looks, it is the only precious food on his body that can maintain his life and physical strength.

The direct contact with the skin made the dry food feel a little warm after taking it out, but biting it did not change its hardness at all, gnawing on the hard teeth like a kind of dry bun he had once eaten, and after barely biting it open, the taste was also bitter and slightly salty, because it was unpalatable, the taste was put to the maximum, Bai Ming felt like there was some kind of wild vegetable mixed with a little cereal.

Wild vegetables account for at least eighty percent of this.

Because of the unpalatable, it caused physiological rejection of the body and wanted to vomit, but Bai Ming couldn't hold back the feeling of nausea, ate the two pieces of dry food into his stomach, and then quickly picked up the leaf cup and drank the water inside.

When you have tasted real hunger, you will truly understand the preciousness of food.

After about ten minutes passed, the food in his body began to be digested and converted into energy to supply the body's consumption, and Bai Ming also felt a little more warmth on his body.

He sighed, and a faint white mist formed under the clammy air.

The sound of the rain falling, hitting the leaves, and falling on the ground is not the natural symphony of nature that used to hypnotize, but even more irritating.

Bai Ming felt that his heart was restless, because his situation was restless, and he was also restless about his own experience.

He thinks that he has never done any great evil in his life, on the contrary, there are small good things from time to time, although it is not worthy of much praise, but it should not fall to this point.

It's a bit bizarre based on what happened to him so far, but it seems to be a very common thing on the Internet.

It's nothing more than a crossing.

But in reality, Bai Ming already felt that he couldn't live anymore, and almost every moment, he was worried and afraid about his life and unknown future.

It was a sense of insecurity that came from the instinct of life in a strange and dangerous environment, and he had no idea of ending his life.

He wants to live, that's all.

The world is strange, cruel and dangerous, and he has realized it since the first day he crossed here.

In an ancient village, he saw human corpses in addition to the hospital beds, a large number of corpses, perhaps more than a hundred.

Those corpses have formed a giant view, the corpses swelled several times in front of them under the rain, and from time to time there were purple-black swelling skin bursts, and then black-red and dirty blood mixed with organs or slippery and rotten intestines flowed out, and there were also small decomposed eyeballs that fell off from their eye sockets and rolled to the ground...

Bai Ming, who saw this scene, was undoubtedly devastated, he was shocked by the stench of the corpse and the disgusting scene and vomited several times, and even vomited out the stomach acid, only then did he realize that the exercise he thought he had seen the general teachers exercise was so vulnerable.

He fled there in disarray, and then continued to discover the cruelty of this world.

From time to time, I saw corpses lying on the side of the road, and the human villages that I finally saw were dyed with blood under the vicious bandits, and the burning houses could not be extinguished by the rain in the sky...

He finally understood one thing.

People, human lives, are not worth much in this cruel world.

But fortunately, he's still alive.

The clothes, food, and knives on his body were found in the village that had been destroyed after the bandits' attack, and of course there were remnants there, but he was on guard and stayed away.

Relying on the little supplies he collected, he hid in this tree hole for three days, but as the food gradually consumed, he gradually understood that he could no longer hide, this tree hole was not a castle of peace of mind, and he could not hide here forever and refuse contact with the outside world.

He is a normal ordinary person, he will be afraid, he will be timid, he will be cowardly, but after fear, after timidity, he can also muster up the courage to stop being cowardly.

The past few days have actually been more like a mental adjustment for him, and all kinds of messy thoughts have been frantically intertwined in his mind, but in the end, he still survived and initially cut off the cowardice and anxiety in his heart.

In order to survive, let's muster up courage first.

There is no clock, the time cannot be calculated, it can only be judged according to the brightness, it feels like it should be around eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the rain seems to be lighter, but it has not completely stopped, for this place that seems to be raining forever, Bai Ming has no expectations to wait until the sky is sunny in action.

Fortunately, when he was collecting supplies, he also collected a coat, and took off the coat hanging on a wooden horn fork in the hollow of the tree and draped it on his body, which made his body more warm.

Bai Ming took a deep breath, held the short knife in his hand and a sharpened wooden spear and left the tree hole.

The abundant rain made the vegetation grow lush and fast, and a large number of dense ferns could be seen growing everywhere on the ground, and the blue-green vines like python eyes were wrapped around the trunk, and the feet quickly became wet after leaving the tree hole, Bai Ming didn't care to pick up the wooden spear and slap it in front of the road to be walked on.

Despite the cold and humid weather, poisonous insects and snakes never seem to go extinct.

This tree hole is not far from the village where he first collected the supplies, and through the architectural style of the village and the clothing of the locals, he preliminarily judged that the civilization of this era was still in the time when industrial civilization had not yet developed.

In times like these, the danger of the wild is undoubtedly more dangerous, and going deep into the wilderness away from humans who may be a source of danger may suffer worse consequences due to the lack of material due to getting lost.

He followed his memory in the direction of the village, occasionally drawing a mark on the tree with the gap in his dagger and the possibility of losing his way was worse than the possibility of being lost by someone unknown to discover the symbol and find his dwelling.

He was born with a person who didn't have a strong sense of direction.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to move in the right direction, and after walking in the forest for about ten minutes, he saw a path in front of him that had appeared because of the long-term formation, and in addition to the footprints of pedestrians, there were also traces of wheels left by animals pulling carts.

He carefully memorized the surrounding scenes and everything he saw after coming out, and understanding his surrounding living environment and having a clear understanding would undoubtedly help him live better in this world.

After discovering the path where there were traces of human activity, he became more cautious, no longer walking along the middle of the road, but instead moving in one direction along the side of the road through the trees and grass, while comparing a little memory of his departure.

After a while, a village that looked ancient in the rain and fog came into his eyes.

Around the village, there are some fields left by human cultivation, and there is some kind of blue-green vegetation that is not known to the white, and it is said that it is a miracle that there is no waterlogging under the constant rain.

A few peasants in the same robes were working in the fields, and the village under the rain seemed to have a somewhat idyllic feeling, but the charred black houses that were partially exposed to the field of view shattered the beauty completely.

Bai Ming carefully hid in the grass and got closer to the village, and then observed everything inside.

He had an impulse in his heart, eager to push him to enter this gathering place that represented human civilization, where there was a warm fire, clean food, a house with no leaks, and a human being who could communicate, but the strangeness and anxiety of the outside world made him forcibly suppress this impulse.

He silently observed and analyzed everything he saw, the population of the village was not large, and according to the number of houses he saw, it was at most about two hundred people.

The whole village was deserted and quiet under the rain, and most of the people he saw were adult men hurrying by, and they seemed to be invisible compared to the old and young children.

After watching for a longer time, he noticed that there were some people in the village who were hiding under the eaves of the village in rags, and they did not seem to have a place to live, and among them he saw a few children about eight to ten years old, who seemed to be vagrants, because he saw that some of the villagers were very rude towards them.

This made his heart sink with a little anticipation.

This is undoubtedly a chaotic and terrible world, but it is also conceivable that in a world where it is difficult for oneself to survive due to material scarcity, how can one be kind to strangers.

He subconsciously shook the short knife in his hand, and suddenly had a kind of realization.
