Chapter 53: The Food Crisis
Time passes, in the past few days, more and more humans have gathered around Jiangcheng's pickup, and the Chinese people generally have the habit of getting together, Jiangcheng's team is slowly growing like a snowball, and those ordinary people and awakened people who are alone on the way will choose to join Jiangcheng's team.
Now, a group of people in Jiangcheng walked together, just like a large team fleeing from the famine, with men, women and children, pots and pans in it.
When there are more people, a society is formed, and this mobile team in Jiangcheng is like a small society, with pimps, thugs, coolies, and those who dig in the soil for food.
One pass ten, ten pass hundred, among these people, many of them know that Jiang Cheng is strong, and generally few people come to provoke Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng is also happy like this, because he can cultivate with peace of mind.
Moreover, just the car of awakened people on Jiangcheng's pickup truck is definitely a powerful force, and the people under the car think that the people on the truck are Jiangcheng's subordinates.
With so many ordinary people following the team, food has become a big problem, and there are many insects guarding large grain stations or supermarkets, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close.
At present, all the food of ordinary civilians is taken over by the awakened, there is no way, in the face of absolute strength, ordinary people will always be enslaved, this is the reality.
Therefore, the Pingming people were very hungry, and some even starved to death on the side of the road.
The team drove for another half a day, and when they reached an area close to the woods, Jiang Cheng motioned to the cook to stop the car.
"Why did you park?" Many awakened people on the pickup truck knew Jiang Cheng's strength, and they were still more convinced of the strong.
"It's time to rest, everyone is a little tired after a long day's walk. Jiang Cheng got out of the pickup truck with a crank in his hand, he was afraid that others would drive the car away.
"Brother, where are you going? Do you want me to follow?" The chef awakened man who was the driver looked at Jiang Cheng with a look of admiration, during a team break, he had secretly followed Jiang Cheng who left, but found that Jiang Cheng was not particularly far away from the team, and actually hunted more than a dozen second-level insect blade mantises.
The gorgeous way of fighting, the fighting moves full of violent beauty, the chef was dazzled by it, and it wasn't until that moment that the cook knew that this guy, who had always been very low-key, was the strongest Cunzài in this team, even if all the awakened people on one of them got on one truck, they would not be Jiang Cheng's opponents.
He is now in awe of Jiang Cheng in addition to awe. Of course, Jiang Cheng knew that this cook was following him, he actually did it on purpose, otherwise with Jiang Cheng's speed, he would not want to keep up.
Jiang Cheng did this for the sake of Liwei, in order to let the cook convey this news to all the awakened people on the pickup, so that they would be afraid of themselves and themselves, only in this way would this team be stable and not cause any chaos.
"No, I'm used to it alone. Jiang Cheng nodded at Aunt Zhang, Jiang Cheng was not there, Aunt Zhang was the supreme leader in this car.
As for the people under the car, the eyes of Jiang Cheng were even more different, one to ten, ten to hundred, they also heard the story of Jiang Cheng, and knew that Jiang Cheng was the leader of the pickup awakening team in the entire team.
The team also requisitioned several tricycles on the way, all of which were crank-starters, to house the families of the awakened.
In short, in this team, the awakened people in Jiangcheng's pickup are the highest decision-makers in this team, and every qiē grain needs to be reasonably distributed by the awakened people on the pickup.
Quickly scurrying into the woods next to the national highway, Jiang Cheng began to sneak quietly, and in a moment, he came to a small clearing in the woods.
There was a ground worm hidden in this clearing, which Aunt Zhang saw with his bloody eyes. Ground worms generally grow in the soil, like human flesh and blood, look a little like worms, brown all over, about ten meters long, like a large python.
The earth worm also seemed to smell the powerful flesh and blood aura emanating from Jiang Cheng's body, and suddenly burst out from under the ground, staring at Jiang Cheng with a pair of eyes.
The ground worm also knew that he had met an opponent, so he was very cautious and did not think about attacking it. However, Jiang Cheng knew that this earth insect was just a second-level insect, and Jiang Cheng could kill it with a single finger.
"You're out of luck when you meet me. Jiang Cheng rushed forward all of a sudden, and stabbed at the ground worm, simple and direct, but it was difficult to dodge.
Click!
The ground worm was cut off with an unwilling roar, and Jiang Cheng's big hand reached into the head of the ground worm to search for a while, and finally found the worm pill.
The effect of this insect is very good, and it belongs to the second-level insects, and the effect is very obvious. Getting into the hand was a pale green insect pill with some mucus on it, Jiang Cheng took the insect pill in his hand, and then rubbed it with his sleeve and swallowed it.
The taste is not bad, some like chocolate beans, the insect pill melts in the mouth, and then it enters the throat and enters the stomach, turning into a trace of vitality, nourishing Jiang Cheng's bones and veins all over his body, making his strength stronger.
It's been very slow these days, mainly to hunt second-level insects, whenever Aunt Zhang's bloody eyes see a small number of second-level insects, Jiang Cheng will go to hunt.
And for the kind of swarms of insects, Aunt Zhang will also use bloody eyes to try to avoid them. This is also the reason why everyone is willing to follow Jiang Cheng, because it has been three days, but no one in the team has died.
What's more, although everyone is hungry, Jiang Cheng does not restrict everyone's diet, and everyone will have a mouthful of mush, so that no one will starve to death.
After cleaning up the insects, Jiang Cheng returned to the team again, and on his back was carrying a large backpack of apples, which grew in the woods, although the climate has changed greatly due to global warming, but the sea of drought-tolerant fruit trees has not died.
"Uncle Jiang, you're back. "A large group of yellow-faced and thin-skinned children all gathered around when they saw Jiang Cheng coming out of the woods.
Because Jiang Cheng once gave them chocolate, they were very impressed by Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng looked at these children with yellow faces and thin muscles and tattered clothes, and he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.
If they were living in a peaceful era, they should all be living in kindergartens and primary schools now, with the care of their parents, the love of their grandparents, and they would be like a little princess and a little master at home, but now, most of these children have lost their parents and become orphans, the youngest of them is even only three or four years old, and such a big child will have to bear the burden of supporting himself, which is unimaginable in this civilized world.
"Uncle, here's an apple, one for each of you. Jiang Cheng opened his backpack and gave the children apples one by one. These apples were big and red, and they looked very eye-catching, and Jiang Cheng was very relieved to see that the children had got an apple in their hands.
Back on the pickup, Jiang Cheng took out a Chinese cigarette from his backpack, lit it by himself, took a deep breath into his lungs, and suddenly felt indescribably comfortable.
"This is the apple that Uncle Jiangcheng gave me, please give it back to me, okay?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the voice of the immature child, Jiang Cheng instantly turned his head.
