Chapter 11: The Dilemma

After the protest was ineffective, the little guy could only silently accept the name of Xiao Budian, which seemed very ugly to him.

After discovering the small dot, he slightly adjusted Lin Tao's mood.

The problem always has to be solved, and the food and drinking water left over are only enough for a maximum of ten days to eat and drink, and this is not counting the small ones.

Lin Tao looked at the endless dense woods in front of him with a little headache, and a sense of powerlessness came to his heart, when will this damn Black Forest end, if it goes on like this, he will starve to death sooner or later, he must continue to go deep into the Black Forest in the shortest possible time. According to the experienced mercenaries and adventurers, it takes about seven days to walk in the right direction before you get out of this dense wood. At one end of the forest there is a natural lake called the Lake of Hope.

On both sides of the Lake of Hope there is an abundance of wildlife, such as antelope, horned oxen, plum deer and so on.

Mercenaries and adventurers alike use the Lake of Hope as their first stop in the Black Forest, where they can replenish food and fresh water.

"The Lake of Hope, the Lake of Hope, is really the Lake of Hope. Lin Tao muttered, if you don't find this so-called Lake of Hope as soon as possible, the situation will be dangerous. 、

Flipping through the "Thirty-six Tricks to Survive in the Black Forest and the Hand-drawn Map of the Black Forest" in his hand, Lin Tao cursed in a low voice in his heart, he couldn't find his current location from this so-called map. In addition, it is clear that this hand-drawn map is very inaccurate. It looks like it was drawn by some experienced mercenary or adventurer.

I know that I have to speed up my pace and walk as much distance as possible in these days, so that I can have more guarantees. At the moment, he didn't stay anymore, put on his backpack, and immediately embarked on the trip with his little one.

————————————————

For the next week, Lin Tao had to walk a lot of distance every day, and according to his estimates, the distance he walked in seven days should be equivalent to the eleven days he had predicted before.

Knowing that on the fifth day, Lin Tao still didn't see the slightest ghost shadow about the Lake of Hope, and his heart couldn't help but cool, it seemed that he was still going in the wrong direction.

After a moment of frustration, he immediately collected his mood and reset his course, and moved on.

During these seven days, Lin Tao has been trying to consume his food and drinking water in a more reasonable plan to ensure that he can find supplies before he runs out of food and drinking water.

Skim a loaf of bread in half, try to eat small and frequent meals, and never drink water as long as you are not thirsty. Lin Tao tried everything he could to save food and water.

Although he treats himself so harshly, he has always been very generous to the little guy Lin Tao. The little guy eats the best and drinks more, and Lin Tao never stingy with the little food and water he treats.

Despite the savings, food and drinking water are slowly being consumed over time.

When the last piece of noodles wrapped around his lower abdomen and the last drop of water rolled into his throat, Lin Tao knew that the following days would be extremely difficult.

Fortunately, the injuries on his body are much better than they were a week ago, and he has more 'energy' to find a way out and food.

The desire to survive in the midst of difficult times is always so strong...... Lin Tao is no exception.

In the end, he did everything he could to find food and water.

He tried to find wild plants from the jungle to feed his hunger, new tree buds, wild mushrooms, and bark. In short, as long as he can get down, Lin Tao will not let it go. After vomiting and diarrhea a few times after ingesting poisonous mushrooms, he gradually 'groped' his way up to the experience of knowing what was edible in the Black Forest and what was untouchable.

Lin Tao would climb up the treetops high every morning to collect the little poor 'dew' water, save it, and put it in the utensils he carried with him, enough for him and Xiao Bu to drink for a day.

Lin Tao can endure eating the damned plants in the Black Forest to satisfy his hunger, and drink 'dew' water to quench his thirst. But this little fluffy little guy can't eat these hard-to-swallow things after tasting those delicious beef 'meat' and lamb 'meat'. But after one or two times, I can only reluctantly accept the status quo......

When half a month passed, Lin Tao was still moving forward, and the steps under his feet still did not stop, the only difference was that he changed his direction again.

He felt that as long as he persevered for another two or three days, he would definitely be able to find a way out.

Of course, if he is still wrong, it can only be said that God will not help him. In four directions, he had been walking in two directions for seven days. Every time he changed directions, Lin Tao was not stupid enough to return the same way, which meant that the original seven-day journey would be doubled. Instead, it moves in a circular trajectory, so that even if the distance is enhanced, it will only take two or three more days.

It's just that by this time, Lin Tao was on the verge of collapse.

There is no food, no water, although these difficulties have been solved, but people are iron and rice, and under such a long distance trek every day, food and nutrition are particularly crucial. Lin Tao had eaten enough of these damn plants and mushrooms, and he felt that if he went in the wrong direction this time, he really wouldn't be able to hold on.

After all, these things can solve a momentary hunger, but no one can stand eating them for a long time. These days, his body functions are on the verge of collapse. He felt that his belly had lost at least two laps, and now if there was a mirror, he would definitely look yellow and thin, like a wild man.

Every day, Lin Tao would keep telling himself in his heart that the way out was not far ahead, and he would soon be able to get rid of the damn jungle in front of him and get rid of these immutable trees. After arriving at the Lake of Hope, you can drink a sip of the sweet water, take a comfortable bath, and then catch an antelope and other animals along the coast, and eat a beautiful meal. He told himself that he had to eat a whole antelope by himself.

It is precisely by relying on such a mentality of looking forward to Mei to quench his thirst and constantly self-psychological hints that Lin Tao has gone farther and farther. If you do the same thing every day, and the thing itself is extremely boring, then people will definitely get tired and slack.

I don't know how many times Lin Tao didn't want to leave, he felt too tired, too hungry, and wanted to stop and rest. But a moment later, as if he had been 'whipped' on the buttocks, he bounced off the thick leaves of the bush and went on......

During the journey, when it is boring and boring, this man and beast will talk to each other. Of course, it is generally Lin Tao who says Lin Tao, and the small one says the small one. Most of the time, the little guy was sleeping, as if he would never sleep enough. Only Lin Tao knew that this was the little guy who was smart enough to use sleep to reduce the consumption of energy in his body.

So, a funny scene was formed. That is, every day, Lin Tao will always complain to the sleeping little guy, but the steps under his feet are still firm and unshakable.

Complaining is complaining, but what needs to be done is still to be done, especially in the current environment. If you don't go, you must die, and if you go, at least there is still a chance.
