Apocalypse Summoner - 332. Chapter 289 Food Crisis...Grassroot Bark

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the hot sun shines on the body, hot, which can make people sweat, and the surrounding mountains are full of weeds and green trees, symbolizing the surging vitality. The green leaves are gently swaying in the wind. .

The enveloping heat wave twists the air, but it also reveals a long-lost enthusiasm. Although it makes people uncomfortable, it is compared with the torrential rains and the freezing cold wind of these days, this kind of heat wave, It is really precious.

But… if it wasn’t because the strong men of the vanguard were under pressure and fought life and death with the corpses and the zerg, they shed their blood, experienced after another violent storm, after another cruel and war-torn baptism, So how can the 700,000 survivors survive until now?

After leaving Linchuan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, after being trapped for four days and four nights, everyone was afraid, and they wanted to rush to Yongcheng more urgently, so they walked very quickly and there were few people dragging the team. There are so few, even if there are really old and weak women and children who can’t walk, many people are rushing to help.

Today, because of Li Jiayu and others who have become spiritual idols and soul beliefs, there are not many survivors who have completely blackened and fallen in the last days. Selfish people probably only account for 30%. They are wise and indifferent. People account for 40%, and the rest are kind-hearted people who are more and more shining in humanity and can help others in times of difficulty.

You can see the true feelings in adversity. Only in the face of real difficulties can you test a person’s character. Although there are not many kind people in the team, when you see those young and strong volunteering to help the disadvantaged, use bicycles to carry the elderly and use their backs. As the children climb the hillside and cross the seam, you will find that some people are really admirable.

Of course, there are not a few people who collapse in the last days, especially after experiencing so much danger and witnessing so much blood, some people with weak tolerance will be more or less psychologically distorted, and it is better to become a frightened bird. Those who have changed a lot of temperament, have bad tempers, and take the lead in making trouble at every turn are bad.

Fortunately, because of the victory last night, most of the fugitives have more hope for the future. Although not confident, at least they are not as pessimistic and depressed as before.

For most of the day, the escape team ran for more than 30 kilometers. At night, when they couldn’t walk, they set up camp among the mountains and forests. However, most of the escape team were already hungry and croaking and screaming. Face.

“I’m so hungry…”

“Who has food, give me a little bit, my daughter is so hungry that her lips are blue…”

“Little brother, can your crispy noodles divide me half? I’ll trade this dagger for you…”

“Mom, the rhizomes of the glowing plants that I ate last night made my stomach so uncomfortable…”

“Axue, look at how hungry your father is. You bear the heart to let him eat tree roots and wild vegetables? I also have a canned beef here. Take it to supplement the old man’s body, eh, wait, Don’t go so fast, it’s a deal… You have to stay with me all night, as long as you stay with me once, the canned beef is yours!”

“Furong, don’t feed your baby anymore… You can’t eat enough yourself, and you are so thin that you breastfeed him like this regardless of your body, and sooner or later your body will collapse…”

“Then what can I do? I can’t just watch the child go hungry. If I am too hungry to produce milk, I will cut the flesh and blood to feed him… Anyway, I will take the child alive to Yong city!”

“No, Furong, please don’t do this! Throw the baby away. 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 breastfeeding He, in less than a week you will be too weak to walk! Now it is time to choose one, the child can go to Yongcheng to have another one, 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 breeze screamed, but the complaints, wailings, sighs, and cries of the 700,000 fugitives came and went one after another. The main reason was the problem of food.

As early as four days ago, the escape team almost ran out of food and was in a state of shortage. Many fugitives had already run out of ammunition and food. They had to find food by any means, and some even ate a lot of Linchuan County Bizarre. The plant’s roots, stems, and leaves made the whole body sick and very uncomfortable…Until last night, except for the surplus food saved by large organizations, the rest of the flat-headed people basically had no stock. Later, the tide of corpses broke out. The east and west of the city are mostly occupied. Even if the corpse clan retires later, many of the stored grains are contaminated with corpse poison and can no longer be eaten. Therefore, there are only those from Xijiang University and the two cities that really have some surplus grains. The military headquarters… The haze of food shortages made everyone demoralized and sighed… On the way, there were naturally some people who kept collecting wild vegetables and wild fruits on the road, even those hard-to-swallow bitter grass, People scrambled to catch the water plants. As for the beasts and birds in the forest and mountains, they were captured by the vanguards early. They are also humans, and they will be hungry!

Especially those hand-to-hand occupations such as berserkers, hercules, fighting spirits, and qigong masters, each of them must consume a large amount of food, because they must draw enough energy from food to maintain their physical consumption.

However… the huge team of 700,000 people need to consume too much food… The little food picked on the road is far in short supply. Therefore, the problem of food shortage has become more and more serious, plus 700,000 people. Tired all day, excessive exercise aggravated the hunger, and many girls who hadn’t eaten for a few days fainted from hunger!

There is a river along the way. Chu Xiang often dives into the river water and wants to go fishing, but for unknown reasons, the aquatic products in this water area are quite scarce. Instead, they are called blood-sucking worms, strong acid leeches, mercury giant insects and other low-level insects. If the king ruled for hegemony, if Chu Xiang’s dragon armor was not strong enough, I’m afraid it would have been killed by the swarming water bugs.

After busying all day, Chu Xiang caught less than two hundred jin of aquatic products, which was far from the consumption of the people of Xijiang University… “Jiayu… When the last days broke out, we took the opportunity to seize We have a lot of food, and we have been relying on Chu Xiang to eat fish frequently in the past half month, so to this day, we still have a large amount of food in stock…”

Li Jiayu was talking softly with Yan Zisu beside a bonfire. The light of the fire made both their faces flushed. Secretly, Li Jiayu gently held his sister-in-law’s jade hand and quietly did ideological work for her, hoping for her. I will accompany him again tonight, but unfortunately he was resolutely rejected by his sister-in-law. Li Jiayu still wanted to stalk her, but the sound of red clouds suddenly sounded behind her.

No matter what happened to the Three Treasure Hall, when she heard Ran Hongxia say those words, Li Jiayu knew that Ran Hongxia must be sympathetic again, and wanted to distribute the food in stock to others.

This foolish, bad guy who is messing with justice!

“Well, so what, do you think we have too much food, so you think we should lose weight and donate the food selflessly?” Li Jiayu spread his hands and rolled his eyes at Yan Hongxia, her face There was a hint of cold sarcasm.

“Jiayu, please don’t be so yin and yang, okay… Go outside and see, many children have not eaten normal food for two or three days, and their stomachs are flattened by hunger!” Dye Hongxia’s eye circles are a little red Obviously, after a trip, she had seen too many miserable conditions of being tortured by hunger, but this girl is very soft-hearted, and especially likes to be helpful… “Oh, so what… there are not many bark and grass roots on the road. These are all edible. Those people are really going to be hungry and dizzy. They can go all over the mountains and plains to find bark and grass roots to eat. People will definitely not die from starvation. Presumably there are enough plants within ten miles of 700,000 people. It’s consumed…” Li Jiayu said coldly.

“Li Jiayu! Why are you like this! Can’t you be a little sympathetic? Do you have the heart to watch those children get so hungry? If you eat too much bark, grass roots, you will die!”

“Everyone is fair in the last days. Even children need to face the cruel living environment in the last days… Besides, we don’t have much food at Xijiang University. You can distribute it to hundreds of thousands of starving children and elderly people. What effect can it play? Enough for them a meal? Or enough for them to consume for a day? Don’t be silly, now we still need a month to go to Yongcheng. Even if you give them all the food, it’s a drop in the bucket. You helped them today. , Then what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? People who starve to death will still be starved to death. It is impossible for you to stop the hunger frenzy of the last days!”

“No, that’s not the case… Why don’t we have the ability to help the elderly and children? Most of Xijiang University are young and strong adults. Even if they eat wild vegetable roots every day, they can survive. You can survive by biting your teeth… But those old people and children are not likely to survive. They must eat some easy-to-digest foods. Maybe we can’t help them too much, but we will help them survive this time. We can meet the red-top beetle in the sky, and maybe we will pass the melon orchard, and then we will be able to get enough food, Jiayu, you can help once…” With that, Ran Hongxia is pitiful. He blinked watery eyes hopefully, and looked at Li Jiayu pitifully.

Yan Zisu also stood up and spoke to Ran Hongxia:

“Yes, Jiayu, we have Chu Xiang. He can bring us hundreds of catties of aquatic products every day. He shouldn’t make us hungry too badly. Besides, eating bark and grass roots for a month is for our inheritors. It’s not a big deal, but those old people and children can’t endure so much hardship. Maybe if we reach out to help, they will still be starved to death on the way to Yongcheng, but as long as one-tenth of the people we have helped can It is worth it to arrive in Yongcheng safely!”

Yan Zisu is also an easy-hearted person, so he became nervous after dyeing Hongxia, agreeing to give great food to others, and then wronged himself to eat bark and grass roots every day… But since her cousin has spoken, Li Jiayu can only grin helplessly. At the corner of his mouth, his face blankly said:

“Whatever you want, anyway, the food in the team is not in my care. Give it to whomever you like.”
