Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight turned the black mist into blood red, the people in the room opened their eyes again as scheduled.
As the night passed, the hungry people became hungrier, and the weak became weaker. Liu Chang opened his eyes and saw that the eyes of the people in the room seemed to be full of green light after opening their eyes—this is because they were hungry.
After Liu Chang woke up, he also felt empty in his stomach. Last night's "thin soup and hanging water" had already been digested completely. This feeling of hunger is very bad, as if a black hole has been born in his abdomen, and a strong suction is emitted in his abdominal cavity, trying to draw all his internal organs and attention to that origin.
Therefore, Liu Chang decided to do something to divert attention.
"Will the army bring food over today?" Liu Chang sat up and asked while putting on his shoes.
"It should be, but it will be less than yesterday's share." Li Qingshui also sat up from the bed, then looked at Liu Chang's feet and asked suddenly: "If you walk outside without shoes, can you bear it? "
"What do you mean?" Liu Chang put down the shoelaces in his hand, took his soles out of the shoes, rubbed the soles of his feet and thought, with his current physical strength, can he stand the pain of those broken cement blocks outside? overwhelmed.
"Didn't we say we were going to hunt together today?" Li Qingshui walked off the bed barefoot and said, "Because many of the animals we have to face have extremely keen sense of hearing, just like an ordinary puppy. They are sixteen times that of humans, and the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground is too loud for them, which is not conducive for us to get close to the prey."
"That's right." Liu Chang also stepped his feet into the ground, and a cold feeling surged up from there in an instant, "My feet should not be able to bear it if I travel for a long time, but in a short time, I think I can do it."
"That's good, loosen your shoelaces, and take off your shoes when you find the prey." Li Qingshui nodded, put on his shoes, turned to the other three people and said, "You guys are waiting here for the army." Fang's food, let's go out and make a weapon."
"Weapon?" The fat man looked puzzled.
"Yes, a suitable weapon can increase the hunting success rate by about 30%." Li Qingshui said, put on his backpack, turned to Liu Chang and said, "Put on your shoes first, let's get a spear."
"Okay." Nodding his head, Liu Chang put on his shoes, followed Li Qingshui out of the dormitory, and walked to the barracks compound.
In the next two hours, the two found a dilapidated courtyard fence around the barracks. This kind of fence is very common in small cities, and it is the kind of fence with iron fences. The iron fence is made of steel bars and steel bars welded one by one, and the top is a row of sharp spear-like iron bars that rush to the sky to prevent outsiders from climbing.
The iron rod shaped like a spear is the best raw material for making weapons. The two circled around the dilapidated wall like this, and pulled out a loose iron spear. After Liu Chang polished the sharp spearhead, Li Qingshui carefully wrapped green plants around Mao's body, making it look It is closer to the color of the surrounding environment.
Two hours later, a formed green iron spear appeared in Liu Chang's hand. This spear, about 1.6 meters long, is only a little shorter than the height of an ordinary adult man. It is solid, as thick as two fingers, and weighs about ten catties in the hand. Although it is slender, it is very heavy.
"It is much better to hunt with this weapon than with a knife. First, because this weapon is long enough, the most difficult part of hunting is when you get close to the prey. Using a spear can shorten the distance between you and the prey; second, this kind of thing is convenient for you and Fight with larger prey." Li Qingshui nodded in satisfaction as he saw Liu Chang holding the spear.
"Well, it's like this. If I had this thing in my hand when I met that dog yesterday, I guess it wouldn't be hurt." Liu Chang nodded, obviously agreeing with Li Qingshui's idea.
"Go back, I've been fiddling with this thing for two hours, and the food for the army should have arrived."
"En." Liu Chang nodded, and together with Li Qingshui, they walked towards their dormitory.
Along the way, due to the dense population in the military camp, the two met many people while walking. When they saw Liu Chang's strange shape holding an iron spear, they all showed concern. Some were thoughtful, some just glanced at it and didn't care anymore, but everyone could guess Liu Chang's purpose for making this iron spear.
For food.
Because of hunger, everyone's brains have been controlled by the stomach. Let alone Liu Chang's hunting appearance is more obvious, no matter how obscure something is, in the eyes of these hungry people, as long as it has the slightest connection with food, they can understand it. Think together. Therefore, when seeing someone go hunting, someone immediately had the same idea.
But like Liu Chang before, people who have been living in the city cannot know how difficult hunting is in this blood-red world.
"Actually, the most difficult stage of obtaining prey is the stage of finding prey. Its difficulty accounts for 50% of the total difficulty of the entire hunting process." "It can be said that finding prey is more difficult than catching prey. Fortunately, we have a little girl, the most difficult first level, but it is easier for us."
"En." Liu Chang nodded, and glanced at the other crowd. Of course he knew what Li Qingshui meant when he said this, because his meaning couldn't be more obvious. He's saying, "Don't worry about these city people interfering with your hunting, because they won't be able to spot the game at all."
"But if there are many people participating in the hunt, they will always disturb them." Liu Chang pinned the meaning of Li Qingshui's words, and said: "Also, if we succeed in hunting, we must also guard against these people coming to fight. They can't find anything, so they will naturally envy our things."
"So, we have to take covert measures." While talking, the two arrived at the door of the dormitory, and then shut up in a tacit understanding and pushed open the door of the room.
"You are back!" The sound of the door opening and closing attracted the attention of the people in the room. The little girl saw Liu Chang's return with a look of joy on her face, "The food has been delivered, and it is a little less than yesterday. There seems to be no more cans, only half a compressed biscuit for one person."
While talking, the little girl limped up to Liu Chang, picked up two biscuits, one big and one small, waved them in front of him as if showing off, and said, "This is your share."
"This doesn't seem to be a small half." Liu Chang looked at the two biscuits in his hand, frowned and said, "You haven't finished eating yet?"
"I'm so small, I can't finish eating, just take it." The girl smiled.
"Can… "
"You just take it and eat it. You are the main force for hunting today." Li Qingshui interrupted Liu Chang, persuading Liu Chang with a deadpan expression: "Girl, I will be responsible for carrying her back today. There is a danger of rotting. I will carry her on my back and won't let her consume too much energy."
