For people like Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu in the barriers, rats are synonymous with filth. In the traditional concept, they have always been creatures in the sewer, representing plague, disease, stench and so on.
Although Ren Xiaosu didn't eat rats, it was only because he had seen rats eating carrion corpses, so it left a bad impression on him. But for other refugees in the market town, their natural concept is that the rats in the wilderness are food. These rats steal food from humans and even prey on other creatures, just like other wild animals.
There is a shortage of supplies in the market town, and they all eat termites, let alone mice? In their eyes, this mouse is a piece of meat that can walk.
Compared with the big shots in the barrier, the refugees have a naturally different understanding of food. The refugees feel that food is the only food that can't kill people.
Now that the pickup truck has been destroyed, and the food has been beaten to pieces by the soldiers of the private army, even if there is still food available, everyone dare not take it against the wolves, so in the next period of time, starvation will inevitably become the norm .
Ren Xiaosu was not afraid, no one would starve him in this wilderness.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiaojin. Before the girl pointed a gun at the driver, he thought it was the girl who wanted to save him. He didn't realize until the other party pointed at him. It turned out that the other party just needed a guide to understand the driver in this wilderness. environment only.
Or Yang Xiaojin realized immediately that food would be difficult to find in the future, and Ren Xiaosu had shown talent in this area before, so she had to bring someone who could find food...
The so-called skill industry has specialization, but being proficient in firearms is not necessarily proficient in wild survival, and Ren Xiaosu is just proficient in wild survival.
Ren Xiaosu thought about it and didn't know what level his field survival ability should be if it were skill-based
He asked in his mind: "What is my survival level in the wild?"
"It can be assessed, master level," the palace replied bluntly.
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, he was really able to judge, he didn't expect his outdoor survival skills to be master level, so amazing...
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu became more and more suspicious of Yang Xiaojin's identity. As a person inside the barrier, this girl's actions can be said to be decisive and never dragging her feet.
It was still night, everyone was very tired, and the wolves did not dare to enter the canyon, so they simply walked a few kilometers and stopped to rest.
They stopped because on the one hand, they wanted to discuss future countermeasures, and on the other hand, everyone was a little afraid of the things behind the canyon. If they can pass through the canyon after a while, then they can wait a little longer...
"We can only go forward now," Xu Xianchu said while standing in the canyon, "This canyon is called Laofengkou. It looks calm now, but you have seen the power of the wind. I don't care if someone is blown out of the canyon." Accident."
"But there doesn't seem to be any wind in this canyon at night," Liu Bu wondered, "There hasn't been any wind since evening. And it shouldn't be a big problem if the cars are parked side by side to block the wind."
"That's not okay, we have to leave here before dawn, we can take a rest now," Xu Xianchu denied, "And we have no food, the most urgent thing is to go out of the canyon to find food, it doesn't look like there is food in this canyon look."
"I feel hungry when you say that," Liu Bu muttered softly.
At night, everyone gathers around the bonfire. Because of fear, everyone has no appetite, but now five or six hours have passed since dinner time, and it takes so much energy and energy to escape, so everyone has a sense of hunger.
"I knew I would have gone to get food first," someone complained, "Although the pickup truck was beaten beyond recognition, at least there is something to eat."
"Then what should we do now? We still have nearly half a month to go. What should we eat and drink?" Liu Bu asked.
With this question, everyone turned their attention to Ren Xiaosu, because in their impression, Ren Xiaosu is very good at surviving in the wild, isn't it Ren Xiaosu who caught the big fish before
However, Ren Xiaosu pointed to the mouse at his feet: "Do you eat this?"
The others kept silent. In fact, when the end of the mountain was coming, they would have to eat even rats. This was a reality.
In fact, everyone in the team knew that Ren Xiaosu definitely didn't want to help them find food. After all, the team didn't provide food for Ren Xiaosu before, not only isolated Ren Xiaosu, but also deliberately made fun of or embarrassed Ren Xiaosu, and now let others help him find food
Some people suddenly began to complain about Liu Bulai in their hearts, why did you share so much food with Ren Xiaosu in the car, are you okay now
They didn't think about it either. Although they didn't speak at the time, they were all laughing when Liu Bu refused to provide food for Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu sneered in his heart, each according to his ability.
"Take a break. We will pass directly through the canyon at dawn," Xu Xianchu decided. "Everyone should be careful when we get out of the canyon. Make sure there is no danger before talking about food. Everyone will not starve to death in a day or two."
When there was a shortage of food in the market town, Ren Xiaosu had actually seen people eat bark and roots, eat soil after eating bark and roots, and eventually died.
Ren Xiaosu knew very well what people would look like in the face of hunger. At this time, if they didn't eat rats, they would wish they could eat dirt after two days.
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin came to Ren Xiaosu's side and handed Ren Xiaosu a dagger. Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "Give it to me?"
"Borrow you," Yang Xiaojin said.
"Conditions?" Ren Xiaosu asked, these two people are very straightforward, there is no love and hate for no reason in this world, there must be a reason why Yang Xiaojin lent her pocket dagger to Ren Xiaosu.
"Food," Yang Xiaojin said.
"It's not enough to just borrow it." Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "You have to give it to me."
"Okay," Yang Xiaojin said, then turned and left.
This made Ren Xiaosu stunned for a moment. In fact, Yang Xiaojin planned to exchange the dagger for himself. At the beginning, he said that he would lend it to him, just leaving some room for negotiation...
Ren Xiaosu was a little dumbfounded, he had to think more about dealing with this Yang Xiaojin in the future.
He took a look at the dagger, and he didn't need to know too much about knives, he could tell that this dagger was better than all the irons he had seen in Lao Wang's grocery store before.
Ren Xiaosu put the dagger back into its sheath and hid it in his sleeve, but suddenly Ren Xiaosu's face changed drastically. He looked up at the sky above the cliff, and the others followed suit: "What's up there?"
As soon as the words were finished, there was the sound of dense carapaces rubbing against each other in the canyon. Xu Xianchu took a bright flashlight to shine on the top of his head, and he saw countless black tides crawling down the cliff.
No one has seen this bug before. The patterns on the carapace on the back are like human faces. The mouthparts of the black bug rushed towards the crowd below the cliff wall as if they had received some orders. Jumped on top of Ren Xiaosu and the others from high altitude.
Ren Xiaosu drew out his dagger and split the huge bug that was pounced on him, then shouted, "Run!"
"What is this?!" Liu Bu was almost terrified!
