The Dragon Boat Festival is sunny, and the scorching sunshine is shining on the body. It is so hot that it can make people sweat. The surrounding mountain roads are full of weeds and green trees, symbolizing the surging vitality. The green leaves are swaying gently in the wind. .
The dense heat wave distorted the air, but it also revealed a long-lost warmth. Although the heat made people uncomfortable, compared with the torrential rain and the chilly wind these days, this heat wave, It is really valuable.
but…
If it were not for the fact that the strong men of the vanguard had withstood the pressure and fought life and death battles with the Zombies and Zerg again and again, shed all their blood, experienced waves of violent storms, and were baptized by waves of cruelty and war, then the Seventy How can thousands of survivors survive until now
After leaving Linchuan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had been trapped for four days and four nights. Everyone was afraid and wanted to rush to Yongcheng even more urgently, so they walked very quickly and there were few people dragging the team. There are so few, even if there are old, weak, women and children who can't walk, there are still many people rushing to help.
To this day, because Li Jiayu and others have become spiritual idols and soul believers, there are not many survivors who have completely blackened their psychology in the apocalypse. Only about 30% of them are selfish. Human beings account for 40%, and the rest are kind-hearted people who shine brighter with their humanity and are able to lend a helping hand to others in difficulties.
Only in the face of real difficulties can a person's character be tested. Although there are not many kind-hearted people in the team, when you see those young and strong people volunteering to help the disadvantaged groups, carrying the elderly on bicycles, and carrying the elderly on their backs, When you climb the hillside with your children and cross the cracks in the ground, you will find that some people are really admirable.
Of course, there are not a few people who collapse in the apocalypse, especially after experiencing so many dangers and witnessing so much bloodshed, some people with weak endurance will be more or less psychologically distorted, and it is better to become a frightened bird. Those whose temperaments change drastically, who have bad tempers, and who take the lead in making trouble at every turn are in bad shape.
Fortunately, because of their great victory last night, most of the escapees have more hope for the future. Although they cannot be said to be full of confidence, at least they are not as pessimistic as before.
For most of the day, the escape team ran for more than 30 kilometers. At night, when they could no longer walk, they set up camp in the mountains and forests. However, most of the escape team were already so hungry that their stomachs were growling and they looked sad. Face.
"I'm so hungry..."
"Whoever has food, please share some with me. My daughter is so hungry that her lips are blue..."
"Little brother, can you give me half of your crispy noodles? I'll trade this dagger with you..."
"Mom, the roots of the glowing plants I ate last night made my stomach feel so uncomfortable..."
"Axue, look at how hungry your dad is. How can you bear to let him eat wild vegetables every day? I also have a canned beef here. Take it to replenish the old man's health. Hey, wait a minute. Don't walk so fast, this is a deal... you have to stay with me for one night, and if you stay with me just once, the canned beef will be yours!"
"Fu Rong, please stop feeding your child... You can't even eat enough, and you're so thin. If you continue to feed him breast milk regardless of your health, sooner or later your body will collapse..."
"Then what can I do? I can't just watch the child starve. If I'm so hungry that I can't produce milk, I'll cut off the flesh and feed him blood... No matter what, I have to bring the child alive to Yongcheng. !”
"No, Fleur, please don't be like this! Just throw away the child. In this world... the baby is just a burden! We can neither guarantee his safety nor have any food to feed him... If you insist on breast-feeding him, Within a week you will be too weak to walk! Now is the time to choose one or the other, the child can go to Yongcheng to have another child, but if you die, I don’t want to live anymore!"
At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the mountain wind was whistling, but the complaints, wails, sighs, and cries of the 700,000 escapees could be heard one after another. The main reason was the problem of food.
As early as four days ago, the escape team had almost run out of food and was in a state of shortage. Many escapees had already run out of ammunition and food, so they could only find ways to find food. Some even ate a lot of strange food from Linchuan County. The roots, stems and leaves of the plant are causing strange diseases all over the body, making it very uncomfortable...
Until last night, except for the large organizations that still had surplus food reserves, other ordinary people basically had no inventory. Later, the zombie wave broke out, and most of the east and west of the city fell. Even if the corpse clan retreated later, many people were left behind. A lot of stored food was contaminated by corpse poison and can no longer be eaten, so the only ones who really have some surplus food are Sogang University and the military headquarters in the two cities...
The haze of food shortage has left everyone demoralized and sighing...
Along the way, people naturally kept collecting wild vegetables and fruits along the way. Even those bitter herbs and aquatic plants that were difficult to swallow were rushed to fish out. As for the wild beasts and birds in the forest and mountains, they were picked up early. Capture the masters of the vanguard, they are also human beings and they will be hungry!
Especially those melee-based professions such as Berserkers, Hercules, Douqi Masters, and Qigong Masters, each of them must consume a huge amount of food, because they must draw enough energy from food to maintain their body's consumption.
However…
A huge team of 700,000 people needs to consume too much food... The bits of food picked on the road are in short supply, so the food shortage problem has become more and more serious. In addition, the 700,000 people have worked hard for a whole day. Oh my god, excessive exercise makes that hunger even more intense. Many girls who haven’t eaten for several days are so hungry that they faint!
There is a river along the way, and Chu Xiang often dives into the river water, wanting to go fishing, but for some unknown reason, the aquatic products in this water area are quite rare. Instead, they are low-level bugs such as blood-sucking worms, strong acid leeches, and mercury giant worms. Wang Zhengba, if Chu Xiang's dragon armor hadn't been strong enough in defense, he would have been killed by the swarming water bugs.
After working hard all day, Chu Xiang caught less than two hundred kilograms of aquatic products, which was far from enough for the consumption of so many people at Xijiang University...
"Jiayu... When the apocalypse broke out, we took advantage of it and seized a lot of food. In the past half month, we have relied on Chu Xiang to often have fish to eat, so to this day, we still have a large amount of food in stock. …”
Li Jiayu and Yan Zisu were talking softly next to a bonfire. The firelight made their faces red. Secretly, Li Jiayu gently held her cousin's hand, softly doing some ideological work for her, and hoped that she would She wanted to accompany him again tonight, but unfortunately she was decisively rejected by her cousin-in-law. Li Jiayu still wanted to stalk him, but the voice of Ran Hongxia suddenly sounded behind him.
He went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. As soon as he heard what Ran Hongxia said, Li Jiayu knew that Ran Hongxia must have been overflowing with sympathy again and wanted to share the food in stock with others.
This brainless, bad-ass guy with messy hair!
"Well, so what, do you think we have too much food, so you think we should lose weight and donate all the food selflessly?" Li Jiayu spread her hands and rolled her eyes at Ran Hongxia, her face A hint of cold ridicule emerged.
"Jiayu, please don't be so weird... Go outside and take a look. Many children haven't eaten normal food for two or three days, and their stomachs are so hungry!" Ran Hongxia's eyes were a little red, Obviously she had seen too many miserable situations of being tortured by hunger after she went out just now, but this girl is very soft-hearted and likes to help others...
"Oh, so what... aren't there a lot of bark grass roots on the road? These are all edible. Those people are really hungry and dizzy. They can go all over the mountains and fields to find bark grass roots to eat. They will definitely not starve to death. , Presumably the plants within a radius of ten miles are enough to consume 700,000 people..." Li Jiayu said coldly.
"Li Jiayu! Why are you like this! Can't you have some sympathy? Can you bear to watch those children starve so miserably? Eating too much bark, grass and roots will kill people!"
"Everyone is fair in the last days. Even children will have to face the cruel living environment in the last days... Besides, we at Xijiang University don't have much food. How can you distribute it to hundreds of thousands of hungry children and the elderly?" What role does it play? Enough for them to have a meal? Or enough for them to consume for a day? Don't be stupid, it will still take a month for us to go to Yongcheng. Even if you give them all the food, it will be a drop in the bucket. You can't help them today. What about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Those who starve to death will still starve to death. There is no way you can stop the hunger craze in the last days!"
"No, that's not the case... Why don't we help the elderly and children if we have the ability to do so? Most of Sogang University's population is young and strong adults. They can survive even if they eat wild vegetable roots every day. As long as they bite You can get through it by gritting your teeth... But it's impossible for the elderly and children to get through it. They must eat some easy-to-digest food. Maybe we can't help them much, but if we help them get through this time, maybe they will be able to get through it in a few days. We can encounter red-capped beetles, and maybe we will pass by the melon orchard, and we will be able to get enough food by then. Jiayu, just help me once..." As she said this, Ran Hongxia was pitiful and full of food. Blinking his watery eyes hopefully, he looked pitifully at Li Jiayu.
Yan Zisu also stood up and helped Ran Hongxia speak:
"Yes, Jiayu, we have Chu Xiang. He can bring us hundreds of kilograms of aquatic products every day. It shouldn't make us hungry too much. Besides, eating bark and grass roots for a month is not enough for us inheritors. It's nothing, but those old people and children can't endure so much hardship. Maybe they will starve to death on the way to Yongcheng if we lend a helping hand. However, as long as one tenth of the people we help can It’s worth it to reach Yongcheng safely!”
Yan Zisu is also a person who is easy to be soft-hearted. He actually followed the trend of dyeing Hongxia and agreed to give good food to others, and then wronged his own people to eat bark and grass roots every day...
But now that the cousin-in-law had spoken, Li Jiayu could only grin helplessly and said expressionlessly:
"It's up to you. Anyway, I'm not in charge of the food in the team. Just give it to whoever you like."
