145. The need for food

Water is a necessary condition for all living things.

Tiger Dad shrugged the tip of his nose and used spiritual power to perceive water vapor, which is the ability he has after evolving into a spirit beast, and using spiritual power can improve his perception and sensitivity of elements such as water vapor.

Lin Qianhe was a little happy after entering the forest, he hadn't seen the green forest for too long, and it was difficult not to be excited.

The two little tigers were pulling grass and bushes around, as if they were on a first-time trip.

Even the chipmunks squeaked loudly twice, and then jumped up the trees to climb and jump, not liking to stay on Lin Qian's back anymore.

In the vast basin, there are countless roars and cries rushing to their new homes, and on the towering snow-capped mountains, there are two lonely figures still guarding not far from the barrier.

"Whew-"

The wind on the snowy mountain began to howl, obviously with a frenzied tendency, the snowy mountain, which is no longer a place where living beings can stay, it put away the mild scene, and the wind and snow fell suddenly.

The young man named Ah Xu looked at the barrier blankly, and the tears in his eyes were frozen as soon as they flowed.

The temperature on the snowy mountain has dropped to minus 90 degrees Celsius, and if he hadn't become an awakened person and his physique and ability to withstand the cold have been greatly improved, he would have become an iceman in an instant.

Amer stood beside him, silently took out a rope to tie the two together, the wind and snow had greatly affected their vision, and they could not see the surrounding situation clearly, so as to avoid getting lost.

"Descending ......"

Ah Xu lowered his head and opened his mouth hoarsely.

His throat seemed to be blocked, his heart was depressed, and he was at a loss, but he knew that if he didn't leave, Amer would continue to wait, and he didn't want to hurt Amer.

'Brother...... I will definitely be back! The young man looked back, and there was a firm conviction in his eyes.

His sanity knew that his brother's chance of survival was close to zero, but without seeing his brother's body with his own eyes, he wanted to hold on to a glimmer of hope, even if it was just a false illusion.

Amer didn't speak, he took a silent step, and led the young man step by step towards the bottom of the mountain.

From leaving the secret realm to leaving all the beasts, he just watched quietly, watching Ah Xu stubbornly stay here and wait for the familiar young man to appear.

He never said a word, a word, because he knew and understood.

On the night of the green lightning, he lost all his family members overnight, and the morning he woke up at his desk, he was annoyed by the power outage in the office building, and the moment he walked down from the 16th floor and into the community, he was faced with incomprehensible bad news.

No matter how unbelieving he is, he can't change everything.

The terrible and merciless vortex swallowed up his family, and it didn't even leave them with a piece of wreckage......

No one knew how he spent that time, not even himself, that the funeral had no remains, no mourning guests, and he had done all the procedures like a walking corpse.

Then he returned to his hometown in a daze, dug a few graves, and finally failed to bury anything.

Later, he inexplicably had strange abilities, but he was not happy or excited, he stayed at home as usual, and lived in a state of confusion.

On the way to escape, looking at the two brothers who depend on each other, and looking at the villagers who support each other, he is very envious, envious that they have relatives and have a reason to live.

Now, he was still at a loss, not knowing where to go or why he was alive.

But he knew that to live, to find hope.

The embarrassed figures of the two became smaller and smaller in the wind and snow, and when the two walked out of the snow mountain, the mysterious snow mountain shook slightly a few times in an instant, and then the towering mountain gradually dissipated, and the mysterious snow mountain seemed to have never appeared without a trace.

The original area was still a snow-capped mountain, it was very tall, but there were no clouds on the top of the mountain, and the snow on the mountain was very white, but there was no cold wind and snow.

The moment the Great Snow Mountain disappeared, the spirit beasts in the basin all felt it, and they all looked in the direction of the Snow Mountain, and they were all shocked when they saw that the Snow Mountain suddenly became smaller.

But no spirit beasts rushed to the snow-capped mountain for this, because the longing in their veins had disappeared with the "smaller" of the snow-capped mountain, and they could no longer feel any seasonal movement from the snow-capped mountain, and they clearly understood that the mysterious snow-capped mountain had disappeared.

Lin Qian looked at the suddenly disappeared Great Snow Mountain in surprise, and from the "next time" sensed in the jade plate, he also thought that this mysterious Snow Mountain would always exist, opening up areas at different stages.

Now it seems that this snow-capped mountain should only appear in the "opening" stage, just like the beginning, when it appears, it makes an invisible call to attract living beings.

Thinking of nearly half of the beasts that died on the snowy mountain, Lin Qian shook his body, and his fluffy claws rubbed the tiger's face vigorously.

It's okay not to want to do this, but when you think about it, you will inevitably be a little afraid, it seems that you still can't be complacent in the future, you have to keep strengthening yourself, otherwise the next time in the secret realm, he may not have such a big confidence, and he will come out intact.

The other spirit beasts were not as thoughtful as Lin Qian, most of them regretted and regretted it, and looked forward to the next opportunity.

Xiongjin's sharp gaze swept down from the sky, looking at the top of the unfamiliar snow-capped mountain, he chirped in disappointment and returned with the withered group.

They've searched back and forth three times, and they've determined that it's just an ordinary snow-capped mountain.

The beasts evolve faster than humans, and they have a numerical advantage, so this time, the survival rate of the beasts is around 50%, while the survival rate of humans is less than 10%.

Of the more than 20 people who went up the mountain, only two survived in the end.

There is also a reason why the wild is not the home of human beings, and the large army of human beings is still in the city, even if the human city has been in ruins under multiple disasters, that is where the main force lies.

The closest city location to the location of the Great Snow Mountain is in the path of Amer and the others, and when the terrain changes greatly, they can only rely on the previous map direction to find it, although it is offset, but the approximate location is correct.

The villagers who had not gone to the Snow Mountain before, under the protection of Ah Fu, are also moving in this direction.

It was a prefecture-level city, which was once the economic lifeblood of a province and was extremely prosperous.

But at the moment, the city's solid concrete floor is uneven, roads are destroyed, houses are collapsing, buildings are tilted, and more than 85% of the area is in ruins.

But under the disaster, the surviving people have successfully set up shelters on the ruins, the officials maintain order, and although people are having a hard time, they are not too chaotic, at least the bottom line of morality in the shelters is still there.

It's just that the continuous invasion of the blizzard makes people feel desperate, and going out to search for supplies is the only way for them to survive, but going out is not a small risk.

The number of survivors of the official personnel is not greater than that of the general population, and even the consumption is huge in the early rescue, at this time, the management of the shelter has decided that no more basic materials will be distributed to maintain survival, and everyone must feed themselves.

It's not that they can't provide supplies, it's that they still can't get in touch with the outside world, and they know that they have to make changes.

Even if they still have basic armed forces, guns and ammunition are not short, and those who awaken abilities have also been absorbed into the armed team for training.

If you just search for supplies, it can be maintained for them, but in the past few days, there have been a lot of mutant animals in the city, those strange animals are extremely ferocious, although the guns can cause damage, it is difficult to kill quickly, these days, the team that goes out needs to be accompanied by the supernatural, otherwise the safety cannot be guaranteed at all.

In such a period, both armed personnel and military personnel are rare talents, and the price of sacrifice is too great, and they cannot afford to lose anyone!

Otherwise, how can the stability of the shelter be maintained! The safety of the people cannot be guaranteed!

"Why don't you give it food?! Didn't you have it the day before yesterday?! It's not that it's distributed once every two days! ”

"Open the door! Open the door!

! ”

"Are you trying to starve us?! We are good citizens!

"Open the door! Please! ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Mom, I'm so hungry! ”

"Open the door, save the child!"

The doors of the distribution office were crumbling by the public, and the people were panicking and angry, but they still had not yet reacted to their situation.

They still think that there is rescue in their hearts, but they don't realize that they are in a desperate situation, perhaps, many people think about it, but they don't want to believe it.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three familiar muffled sounds made the boiling crowd die down in an instant.

The principal of the warehouse stood on the second floor.

He looked at the crowd, at the distressed old man, at the crying child, at the helpless woman, at the panicked man.

All the faces raised their heads and looked at him with hopeful eyes at this moment.

Soft-hearted, sympathetic, sad......

For a while, my mind was complicated.

He is not a high-level member of the shelter, but he is in charge of the distribution of materials, and he can be regarded as having a voice.

But at this moment, he can't wait to be an ordinary low-level person!

Before the disaster, he was not an outstanding public servant, and he had not made any achievements, but he had never done anything illegal or illegal, he just wanted to be honest and honest.

Before that, he never imagined that one day he would need to face such an agitated crowd, let alone say a cruel decision that would inevitably be scolded and angry......

"Quiet!

! ”

Looking at the people who had completely quieted down and looked at him in anticipation, the middle-aged man trembled his teeth, closed his eyes and shouted:

"As of today, the shelter will no longer distribute food and fuel to adults!

! Everyone figure it out on their own!

! Fix it yourself!

If you have children, you will report and distribute supplies tomorrow!

! Must be under 15 years old!

! ”

After announcing loudly, the middle-aged man turned around and ran into the house, he was afraid that if he didn't run fast, he would be stoned to death!

Sure enough, a few seconds later, there was a clang, and a large number of tiles on the exterior wall of the second-floor house, which was lucky enough not to be affected by the earthquake, were smashed by people.

If it weren't for the shelter's administrators armed with guns, chaos would have been inevitable.

But no matter how noisy and insulting people were, all the people on the second floor had been evacuated, and they smashed open the door, and all they saw was an empty house.

There was also a very conspicuous big-character poster posted on the wall of the room, which was obviously what the middle-aged man had just said, but in more detail.

For example, children under the age of 15, elderly people who are unable to move on their own, and people who are disabled and unable to support themselves can report to the report.

In general, as long as people over the age of 15 who are in good health have to feed themselves, the shelter will not provide any more supplies.

But medical resources are still free, and clinics in the shelter do not charge any fees.

But this has not brought much comfort to people, because what they need most right now is not doctors and medicines, but food and fuel.

What's more, there is no electricity now, many advanced medical equipment cannot be used, major diseases cannot be cured, minor diseases, and the surviving human constitution has at least doubled, and everyone doesn't care about the previous minor illnesses and pains.

"How can this live!

! ”

A desperate wail sounded, and suddenly bursts of cries burst out, and people's panic would not be alleviated with the catharsis of anger.

Those who have vented their anger and returned to their senses will only be more frightened, the more mobile people have already called on their friends to go out to find supplies, and the incompetent and timid people do not dare to make trouble alone, they can only go back to their places to worry first.

If Amer and the villagers knew about the situation in the city, I am afraid they would not want to go there anymore......

basin.

Lin Qian and the others came to the depths of the forest, where the trees were very thick, and the canopy was like clouds, covering the sky and the sun.

Looking at the trees, which were more than twice as thick as before, Lin Qian stretched out his paws and scratched them.

Well, it was easy to leave a claw mark.

This is the territory of this tiger!

Tiger Dad glanced at it, pressed the cub's skull with one paw, and the big paw was pulled, instantly covering up Lin Qian's claw marks.

Roar, your father is the tiger king of this forest!

You little cub who hasn't reached a year old yet, what's going on!

Although Tiger Dad's spiritual intelligence is already quite high, his habits as a tiger king will not change, and he will not allow his status to be violated.

What's more, in the concept of tigers, it is dangerous for the claw marks of the tiger cub to be exposed, and it is not good for the information to be seen by the foreign tiger.

So Tiger Dad is not angry, but it is also necessary to maintain the dignity of the king.

Lin Qian also knew that he was still young, and it was too early to overthrow Tiger Dad and ascend the throne, not to mention that he didn't have such thoughts at present.

What's so good about being a tiger king, you have to patrol the territory outside, and you are tired of a tiger, so it's better to be leisurely and happy in the tiger's den every day.

Lin Qian is not worried that the tiger parents will drive him away in the future, the current environment is not the same as before, the size of the animals is 2 or 3 times that of before, and their daily food consumption is only about 0.5-1 times higher than before.

Because after breaking through to a spirit beast, you can use spiritual energy to feed yourself and fill part of the food demand, under normal circumstances, the spirit beast does not increase much in food.

How much to fill depends on the absorption and refining state of the spirit beast itself, like Lin Qian's gathering of spirits, the aura is sufficient, and the amount of food is about the same as before.

Besides, the size of ordinary beasts has grown a lot, and their strength is stronger than before, and hunting and food are no problem at all.
