evening.
In the dilapidated cabin, Hongdou was re-bandaging the wounds of his team members.
Medical alcohol was sprinkled on the incision on Tiezi's arm. The man gritted his teeth and stood up without using analgesics. Finally, he put on new bandages and splints, and finally passed the dangerous period.
"Other teams are leaving in the afternoon."
"We'll have a rest tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."
Captain Anko is disguised well.
It has been several hours since I entered the town, and there is still no flaw, as if the previous destruction of corpses had never happened.
"Boss Hongdou..."
Poison Arrow came to Hongdou for the third time and lowered his voice: "It's not too late to put aside the relationship with Gu Fan and his gang now. We have done enough."
Anko was silent for a long time.
Although there is a life-saving grace, in fact the two gangs do not have deep communication.
It might be a good opportunity to separate the relationship now and go our separate ways, but Hongdou had a feeling in his heart that things would not end that easily. Are unbelievers really that easy to be fooled?
"Don't mention this again."
"You go buy some more supplies and keep them for later use. Besides, Tiezi is seriously injured, so get some more food."
Hong Dou stopped Poison Arrow from continuing. Poison Arrow opened his mouth, and finally looked at the captain with a hint of disappointment. He followed the order and took two boxes of bombs and went out to exchange supplies.
"Okay, everyone!"
"I escaped death today and got a lot of supplies. I should be happy."
Hongdou saw that the team members were feeling a little uneasy, so she clapped her hands to comfort them, and at the same time arranged for her men to make a good meal.
What is delicious?
Hongdou felt a little distressed and took out a few packages of expired noodles and a bottle of Lao Ganma meat sauce from his backpack.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
A half-broken pressure cooker was taken out from the luggage, some fresh water that looked a little turbid and yellow was poured in, and some firewood was picked up to boil it.
The expired instant noodles were put in, and then the sauce turned the slightly turbid wastewater into a thick soup. The attractive flavor was released, and the instant noodles became elastic one by one.
"smell good."
Several team members sniffed it vigorously. They didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten the "luxuries" included in instant noodles.
Hongdou took out some wild vegetables from her backpack.
It is a plant similar to seaweed, but it grows on land. There is a layer of sharp saw teeth on the edge of the surface. If an ordinary person's feet are entangled with these land seaweeds, they will be sawed off if they are pulled hard.
"What's this?"
It was the first time Old Musket saw him and he asked curiously.
Hongdou took out a dagger and machete, cut off the sharp serrations on the edge of the seaweed, and said with a smile: "This thing is very common in our south. We call it algae. Although it tastes a bit sour, it can keep you alive."
After she finished speaking, she put the algae into the pot and boiled it together. The thick soup penetrated into the plants and drove away the sour smell.
The environment is too harsh.
Even for a gold mining team like Hongdou, eating a meal of instant noodles is considered a luxury, and their usual food is mutant plants that are even more difficult to swallow.
"Come on, let's share some."
"Tiezi, you are injured, eat more."
Hongdou began to distribute the food, and everyone was excited. Sprinkle some Laoganma meat sauce on the instant noodles, it was really delicious.
"Mr. Gu Fan, we agreed to treat you to a drink."
"Here, this is our treasure, stuffed with fire bamboo fruit."
Hongdou took out something in the shape of a bamboo tube, and it turned out to be the fruit wine brewed from the joy of suffering in the apocalypse.
Fire bamboo fruit is a heat-mutated fruit. Humans will feel hot and uncomfortable all over the body after eating it. Ordinary people may even have their blood vessels burst. However, if special methods are used to squeeze and brew it, some of the toxicity and fire can be eliminated.
In the end, it became this fire bamboo wine, which was spicier than the "Lao Baigan" before the end of the world.
Gu Fan took the bamboo tube and took a sip.
The burning heat rolls from the tongue to the throat, and then flows to the stomach like a ball of angry flames. It makes people feel warm and hot in the cold winter.
Drink this thing.
"Little Manman, do you want something to drink?"
Gu Fan handed the bamboo tube to Xu Manman. Hongdou saw this and stopped him quickly: "No, ordinary people are in danger of bursting their blood vessels if they drink it, and children can't bear it."
Xu Manman pouted her little mouth, pinched her waist and groaned in dissatisfaction: "I'm not afraid!!"
She took the bamboo tube and took a sip angrily. As a result, the bamboo wine, which was spicier than "Lao Baigan", immediately made Xu Manman burst into tears.
“Spicy spicy spicy!!”
"Brother Gu Fan, you are the big bad guy."
Xu Manman stuck out her tongue, her little face was red, and she was running around. She was so naive and made people laugh.
But she was not surprised. Xu Manman's spatial powers have reached the level of the legendary mithril, and the special destructive power is even more terrifying. The strength of his young body is also much higher than that of other hunters. At least there are Stainless steel grade.
Don't underestimate this harmless little girl.
"Since you invited me to drink, I will treat you to meat."
Gu Fan gave Lucky Star a wink, and he immediately took out the attractive and mellow golden bread from his backpack, as well as a lot of cooked black gold beef.
"That's... bread... beef??"
The Hongdou team members' eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
Nowadays, the apocalypse is ravaging, carrion monsters are ravaging the land, and the living space has been greatly squeezed. There are very few land areas that can be safely planted. Only the "upper class" in the city can occasionally eat bread.
As for beef, I can’t even think about it.
In the apocalypse, mutated creatures are everywhere, and almost all unmutated livestock have been exterminated. I am afraid that only those high-ranking and powerful people can enjoy it.
But Gu Fan and the others easily took them out and even shared them with everyone.
Doesn't he know how precious these resources are? !
Hongdou swallowed a few mouthfuls and looked curiously at the salute behind Lucky Star. She really didn't know how many precious resources were hidden inside.
Gu Fan and the others didn't care at all.
I'm afraid no one in the Red Bean Team would have ever dreamed that in fact, the bread made from golden barley and the delicious black gold beef were so abundant that they filled several rooms, and they were all stored in Xu Manman's baby's extra-dimensional space.
"This this… "
"Do you really want to share it with us??"
Anko took the food from Lucky Star and almost suspected that she was dreaming.
It’s been two years since the end of the world.
Food has long been exhausted, instant noodles are luxury items, and a piece of chocolate can cause people to fight.
In the past two years, the survivors could only eat mutated and poisonous food. It is unknown how many poor people died from the poison.
Look at the bread in your hand.
Hongdou couldn't help but think of the human life in the past, and a crystal clear tear flowed in her eye socket.
