Chapter 396 Trapped in the Mountains
The fat chicken drooled as it pounced on the corpses on the ground. It began to clean up the battlefield. The delicious taste of the earwigs was so tempting that it was much more delicious than the ants with sulfuric acid.
Even the little Thai snake wandered around and handed the insects it caught to the snake spirit. The snake spirit buried the earwigs in the reddish dead wood ash and stretched lazily: "Wait, you can have a delicious meal."
Ah Huang followed suit. After being hungry for two days, Ah Huang was no longer picky about food and ate everything.
Xiao Hei took a red dead wood and strung the earwigs together on skewers and roasted them over the fire. The soup from a few hours ago was not enough for him to eat.
The earwigs never dreamed that such a serious matter as a life-and-death confrontation between two armies would suddenly change the situation and become barbecued and charcoal-grilled? And even become delicacies for chickens, dogs, and snakes?
But let alone earwigs, even Jingshu's teammates didn't expect that earwigs would be the last edible food they found in these mountains.
The early morning of the apocalypse was a dim light ushered in by the pitch-black night. One could see the outlines of the rolling mountains, the lonely dead trees in the shadows, and the cold weather with fog. Little Blackie was shivering with cold while holding onto the remaining warm charcoal.
A new day has arrived!
The fat chicken tried to crow like a rooster, but was met with a slipper thrown from the tent by Jingshu. The fat chicken clucked and ran to ask for a hug with the slipper in its mouth.
After a night of struggle, the corpses of sulfate ants were everywhere outside the circle, and the earwigs had all been eaten by others. The snake demon licked his fingers as if savoring the aroma of the charcoal-grilled earwigs. Everyone, including the tank, had a good meal.
However, Jingshu's luxurious breakfast once again refreshed the views of all her teammates. It was not just a matter of quantity, but also the requirements and matching of food taste.
She brushed oil on the frying pan, poured batter on it and baked about twenty pancakes. She made fried eggs with crispy outside and tender inside from the ten eggs laid by the fat chicken overnight. She cut the sausages in the bag into strips and fried them into flowers. She heated the ham cut from the pork leg, tore the freshly grown lettuce into slices, and finally coated it with a layer of cheese. Jingshu rolled a pancake and ate it in one bite.
Finally, Jingshu ground the soybeans that had been soaked last night into soy milk with her hands, sprinkled some sugar on them, and drank the whole pot in one breath.
It's so infuriating! The snake demon threw the earwig to the ground with a snap, and the little Thai snake sucked it into its mouth.
The group soon set out again, but this time Jingshu brought along a nest of sulfuric acid ants. What surprised the teammates even more was that after just one night, the sulfuric acid ants suddenly became obedient, following Jingshu closely. What method did Jingshu use? In fact, everyone was very curious, but they held back and didn't ask.
But with these sulfuric acid ants, they have more confidence in getting out of the mountains.
The weapons were heavy and numerous, and carrying so many loads would not only slow down the process but also waste time. However, they couldn't throw them away, so Jingshu and Tank collected dead wood and made a thousand-wheeled cart for climbing. It could grip the ground and move forward on a slope with a slope of 60 degrees, which finally reduced a lot of burden.
However, when these dead trees were broken, they would actually ooze red liquid, which scared a few people. They only continued to use them after repeatedly confirming that there was no problem. Jingshu had no impression of dead trees.
Next, Jingshu fully demonstrated her rich experience in migration and her understanding of the habits of these creatures that they had never seen before. However, these creatures all had one characteristic: their bodies rotted, they were not afraid of guns, and at the same time, they could not be eaten.
"Damn it, I really can't walk anymore if I can't find food. I haven't found anything to eat for two days." Xiao Hei howled loudly. There was nothing in this deep mountain anyway.
"Are we lost? Why can't we get out of this mountain? How big can this mountain be?"
...
The temperature was getting lower and lower, and they were walking into the real deep mountains. Everyone was wearing thin clothes and had to borrow Jingshu's clothes. Fortunately, Jingshu brought a lot of thick clothes, and Xiao Hei didn't care about wearing women's clothes, as his butt was frozen.
So, these days the team is either wearing cropped pants that are too short or wearing mid-sleeved cotton jackets. The picture is so beautiful that I dare not look directly at it.
But the problem of eating
But the problem was never solved. Even the monkeys and the coptis worms were nowhere to be found. The deep mountains were as quiet as death. After walking for a while, even the creatures with rotten bodies were gone.
"Have we encountered the legendary ghost wall? Are we actually just wandering around in one place? Could it be all an illusion?" asked Tank.
"Do you think you're reading a fantasy novel? I've marked all the places we've walked through these days using a special method. We've indeed walked along a straight line. I can only say that this mountain is too big." The snake demon said, spitting out its tongue.
Jingshu had a feeling of being watched, and always felt that something was staring at her in the darkness. This feeling made her feel uncomfortable in every pore, but she looked at the mountain as if it were daytime, and could see everything on the mountain and on the land clearly. There was nothing but emptiness, and no living creatures at all!
"We have to leave quickly and get away from this weird place." This was the first time Jingshu had such a thought.
Jingshu's huge mountain of various meats played a huge role. Even Lingling's chocolate, Tank's food and the snake spirit's life-saving food were all consumed. Everyone was really penniless.
100 contribution points for a meal isn't expensive at this point, especially since Jingshu is a Michelin-starred chef. One meal is enough to provide a day's worth of energy. I tried everything from wolf meat to crocodile meat, and was even lucky enough to enjoy some delicious vegetables. I have to say Jingshu is such a foodie, she's really thoughtful and the food she pairs so well.
At the critical moment, Jingshu did not skimp on food, but let all teammates have their fill, especially Tank. He was so grateful to Jingshu in his heart. The 100 contribution points for one serving of food allowed everyone to save face. As the elites of China, they have always been conceited. Now they have fallen to the point of relying on other people's food to survive. Who can save face? But Jingshu used the contribution points to wipe away the embarrassment.
For a moment, Jingshu's image and majesty increased exponentially in the eyes of her teammates.
In just a few days, Jingshu's pork legs and hand-torn beef ribs had shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye. After walking for so long, there was still an endless mountain road.
"Please, boss, please take a few hours' rest. I really regret why I didn't go back the same way I came. Instead of going through this mountain."
"I regret it too." Tank scratched his head.
"We have to hurry. It's not just that we're running out of food, but I sense danger." Jing Shu pulled Xiao Hei and stuffed a piece of beef at him. "10 contribution points, I've put it in the account."
