The nausea almost made him vomit, but he covered his mouth tightly to stop himself from throwing up.
But it would be such a waste to throw up the protein we finally found.
Let's go look for something else to eat...
Li Ming, his face pale, dragged his exhausted body as he began searching for food.
At this point, the other trapped people also seemed to be getting restless. They needed food, otherwise they would starve to death before rescue arrived.
Those present were basically out of food, and even if they had, they wouldn't share it with others because the situation was uncertain, and they didn't know when rescue would arrive. They might be trapped for a long time, and if they couldn't find any food later on, with no animals, no fruit, and no edible leaves, they would truly have no choice but to starve to death in these mountains.
starve……
It's really terrible.
So everyone rushed to find food, but like Li Ming, they could find almost nothing. The small animals were gone, and even the corpses seemed to have been washed away.
Some people are lucky enough to find the carcass of a dead rabbit and then have a feast.
Some people couldn't find anything and had to temporarily eat tree leaves to stave off hunger.
They need to survive... and then wait for rescue.
Meanwhile, after Qiao He and the others found a place to settle down, the three of them and the kittens were all hungry. Qiao He gave the compressed biscuits and water from his backpack to Bo Shiwu and Lin Qiao.
At times like this, Qiao He doesn't want to cook. It's too eye-catching, and the aroma will attract other people, making it as annoying as shooing away flies. It's better to eat some compressed biscuits for a few meals.
The kittens, on the other hand, were fed cat food and cat treats by Qiao He.
She carried a huge bag of cat food, enough to feed the kittens for several days. Although there weren't many cat treats, Qiao He would secretly take out a small portion from her Blood Jade Space to replenish them.
Since Bo Shiwu didn't know what was in Qiao He's backpack, he didn't care where the endless stream of cat treats came from.
As long as the babies are eating well, that's enough.
Lin Qiao looked at the food in her hand, lost in thought.
After a moment, she decided to eat a little and then hide the rest.
In case there's no food later, she can give these cookies to Qiao He and Bo Shiwu...
She is old and in poor health.
It's a miracle that they're still alive after experiencing so many misfortunes.
She owes all of this to Qiao He and Bo Shiwu; if it weren't for these two children saving her, she would have died in that dilapidated village long ago.
Just then, Qiao He asked Lin Qiao, "Grandma, why aren't you eating? Have you finished? Are you still hungry? I'll give you another serving."
Lin Qiao quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "No, no, that's enough. I'm full, my belly is about to burst."
Qiao He was both amused and exasperated: "How could that be? It's just compressed biscuits. Mother-in-law, are you feeling unwell?" Qiao He frowned slightly and asked her softly.
Lin Qiao smiled kindly: "No, this old woman feels great. It's just that... I don't know if we'll be able to wait for the rescue."
Lin Qiao's worries were not unfounded. Qiao He was also wondering whether rescue could come or whether they should look for other ways to get down the mountain.
The steps leading down the mountain have been washed away, but this mountain is very big. What if there is another way down?
That's not quite right. It should be called a "passage" down the mountain. There should only be one man-made road, but it's broken now. So they have to find other roads, and even if there aren't any, they have to carve one out themselves.
She needed to get down the mountain quickly and check on the situation in the city. The disaster had just ended, and if he acted fast enough, he could stockpile another batch of supplies before the major unrest.
Now everyone should have realized that something is unusual. There have never been such a continuous series of natural disasters before. But since the abnormal temperature started, and now with the continuous natural phenomena, any normal person would know that the world is about to change!
It could be the end of the world.
Of course, for humanity, that would indeed be the end of the world.
So, once people realize this, they will definitely start hoarding goods—no, they might even start looting!
They looted various supplies from shopping malls and supermarkets.
However, Qiao He's goal was not that; she needed to find things that money couldn't buy, such as weapons, guns and ammunition, landmines, flashbangs, poison gas, and so on...
There were also supplies she hadn't had time to stockpile before, such as submarines, giant ships, and various warm clothing.
If the rules of the apocalypse don't change, then the next thing to happen will be extreme cold...
That's right, a world of ice and snow is about to descend.
That was a world Qiao He never wanted to experience; the extreme cold that lasted for a year meant countless people froze to death on the roads.
Some of the corpses were even fought over by humans because there was no food source and the government's supplies were gradually cut off...
They couldn't survive, so they had no choice but to do this!
Later, Qiao He also learned that a large number of people were migrating with the national organization, like migratory birds, heading to the equator and tropical regions for refuge.
Qiao He was unable to go with them at the time because she had neither supplies nor special abilities.
They were not even qualified to join that group seeking refuge.
There are just too many people in the world; no one can possibly take care of so many.
For the sake of human survival and continuation, it is inevitable that the weak must be abandoned in such an environment.
This is a cruel, helpless, and extremely sad reality.
Qiao He was the one who was left behind.
She remembered that Qiao Yimu had taken Qiao Yuan with him when they followed.
The other members of the Qiao family did not go because they lacked the ability to do so.
Qiao Yimu was allowed to bring a family member along because he had medical skills.
Then he only took Qiao Yuan with him, leaving his biological parents and brothers in the cold, frigid world.
Fortunately, Qiao He survived, so she knew how to get through temperatures of minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius.
No, the temperature could very well be even more extreme.
Because in this lifetime, natural disasters are more intense, but correspondingly, their duration will be shorter.
It was like being in an extremely hot hell, with temperatures reaching 70 degrees Celsius, but it ended quickly, unlike in my previous life where I endured it for a whole year.
It can only be said that there are advantages and disadvantages. These extreme weather events will lead to more human deaths, but those who can survive are humans who have gradually "evolved". Under the stimulation of the environment, their physical condition may become stronger, or they may awaken superpowers and thus evolve.
Everything is unknown.
Qiao He thought that after the extreme cold hell, a large number of superhumans should emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
What will the world be like by then?
She began to look forward to it.
