Chapter 34 Beef Jerky
Li Zhenzhen looked at the mountains and seas of garbage around her and couldn't help asking Wen Le: "Wen Lele, are you also from a place like this?" Oh my God, it's so pitiful. It seems that there is no food here. Doesn't it mean that I will be hungry every day?
Wen Le looked up at the tallest piece of garbage in the distance and smiled faintly. "No, it's the other side that's a hundred times more dilapidated than this place." At least there's trash to pick up here. The safe zone he used to live in was nothing but yellow sand. So there's a difference between slums and slums. At least here, if people are lucky and diligent, they can fill their stomachs, even if the environment is a bit awful.
But there was nothing in the safe zone where he used to live. The only thing he could eat and exchange for supplies was the gray rat, and he had to risk his life to catch it. If he was lucky, he could survive, but if he was unlucky, he would die in the hunt, and nothing would be left after a storm.
Li Zhenzhen simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if it were any worse than here.
Although she was born on an abandoned planet, she had never been exposed to these things since she was a child because her family was well-off and she was spoiled by her parents. She did know something about the planets outside. Since she could remember, her parents would take her to travel to other planets every year, but they had never been outside Area A.
Lily knew a little about this. Her mother would bring her to these places for training every year. They had been to places that were tougher than this one. In her opinion, the place chosen by the school this time was very good. This two and a half days of outdoor training was like playing.
However, it is very stressful to have so many students come out of school at once, so it is understandable that they would choose a safer party.
Xu Dongdong has already adapted to the surrounding environment and is now ready to go out and do some great work: "I can't wait to go treasure hunting!"
"Rather than treasure hunting, I think the first thing we should do is find a place to live. Otherwise, someone will die when the storm comes." Wen Le suggested that they settle down first before doing anything else. This was something he had learned from Li Er and the others. In Abandoned Star, you must find a safe place to hide before going out. Otherwise, you won't know how you died.
Before coming to Weide, Wenle and Li'er went hunting, but they had to travel long distances each time, and they weren't always lucky enough to find a gray squirrel nearby. However, if they went too far, they wouldn't have time to return, so they would usually find an empty gray squirrel hole and pitch a tent inside to avoid the storm.
They would regularly drop fresh rat droppings into these rat holes, so other rats would avoid them when they smelled the scent. These rat holes could avoid being buried by dust, but Lear and his companions tried to avoid them. Firstly, it was too dangerous to live in the wild, and secondly, tents would break down quickly; a single storm would tear them apart and render them unusable. A large tent required five rat skins to make, and they might not even catch five rats in a day, a loss they couldn't afford.
Lily agreed: "Xiao Lezi is right. The most important thing we should do now is to find a safe place to live." The storm on the abandoned planet is no joke.
Xu Dongdong and Li Zhenzhen were also aware of this energy storm, so they had no objection. Although they were wearing specially treated field training uniforms that could withstand this energy storm, even if they slept outdoors, they would be fine. However, this was a desert area with sandstorms blowing everywhere, and no one wanted to be buried in the sand.
But where to live was a concern for them. These garbage mountains were made of garbage and could collapse at any time. They didn't want to be buried by the garbage instead of being submerged by sand. At least it would be cleaner than the former.
Wen Le had no better suggestions in this regard. After all, he lived in a barren desert, but there was no garbage mountain. It would be a real shame if he found a place and it collapsed.
"How about we ask the locals?" Li Zhenzhen suggested, "If that doesn't work, we can pay them. My dad said that as long as we pay, someone will help us." Ever since this girl got to know Wen Le and the others, she has revealed her innocent, lovely and true character.
This made Xu Dongdong often worry about her, saying that if she continued like this, she would be sold one day and would have to help that person count the money with a smile.
"What if we get robbed?" Xu Dongdong rolled his eyes. "Didn't our team leader emphasize all along the way that we shouldn't provoke the natives here?"
Wen Le touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "I think this method is feasible. In fact, people outside will not take the initiative to provoke people from Area A, unless that person does something too extreme and endangers the other person's life, otherwise they will generally take the initiative to avoid them." As for robbery, it is completely non-existent. Unless your brain is stuck in the door, you won't be stupid enough to run out and provoke them.
The people in these safe zones are actually very careful about their lives. They usually avoid groups like this. Even if they want to rob someone, they don't have the courage. Who would dare to jump out when they know they are going to die? If you are alone and are thrown into such a place, you are likely to be robbed.
Lily said, "That's feasible, but I don't think we'll be able to find any locals right now. There's no way the school would leave such a safety hazard. I don't think we'll see those people for the next three days. They must have gone into hiding."
"What about the person I saw passing by just now?" Li Zhenzhen couldn't help but say as she recalled the figure running away quickly when she just got off the car.
"You said that was just now," Lily said. "Would you like to try looking for it again now?"
Xu Dongdong touched his chin and said, "But I think they can still find it if they want to." All the students except Class A of Wade came this time. There are nearly a thousand people in total. Even if this place is big, there are only a few habitable areas. If they are willing to look for it, they can always find it.
"Are you going to waste the rest of your time looking for these people?" Lily rolled her eyes at him. "Don't forget, we have a mission this time."
While surviving, you must also pick up as many treasures as possible. In the end, a statistics will be made based on the value of these things. It would be embarrassing if the ranking is too low.
After saying that, Lily's eyes suddenly fell on Jin Cancan, who had been wilting. "I suddenly came up with a good idea."
Everyone followed her gaze and looked at Jin Cancan, which frightened it. It tried even harder to reduce its presence and hid behind Wen Le, not daring to show its head.
"We can ask Jin Cancan to help us find it," Lily said. "It's an animal's instinct to find a safe nest. They know where it's safe and where it's dangerous."
Wen Le was a little conflicted, afraid that they would take it seriously, so he quickly said, "I have raised my Jin Cancan since he was one month old. Although he looks quite big now, he is actually only seven months old..." Now he can barely be classified as a cub.
Lily ignored Wen Le and looked directly at Jin Cancan, her eyes tinged with menace as she said, "Jin Cancan, you can do this, right?" Then she added, "There's no point in keeping a pet that's useless. They should be killed and eaten. It just so happens that the food we brought was confiscated. This huge pile of meat is enough for us to eat until the end of our training camp, and there's probably still plenty left."
"Yes, yes, yes, and this one is only seven months old. The milk fat on its body has not yet fallen off. The meat must be fat and tender." Xu Dongdong followed suit.
Li Zhenzhen also looked at Jin Cancan with anticipation.
Although he knew they were joking, Wen Le still had the urge to wipe the cold sweat off his face.
As for Jin Cancan, he was immediately furious and roared at them, but he was actually in good spirits after being stimulated by this.
Lily glared at it and said, "If you bark again, I'll eat you! Hurry up and find a nest!"
Jin Cancan looked at Wen Le with aggrieved look on his face. He had been eating well recently and had grown a lot taller. His body length had grown to 1.5 meters. It was really... unbearable to look at him acting so cutely like a child at such a big age.
So Wen Le silently turned his face away.
Seeing that he ignored her and didn't support her, Jin Cancan immediately got angry and raised her paw to hit him in the face. Wen Le quickly coaxed her and whispered to her, "Two bags of beef jerky."
Jin Cancan stopped his claws and tilted his head to look at him, as if asking if it was true.
"How have I lied to you?" Wen Le said quickly, "If I said two bags, then it means two bags." He added, "It doesn't matter if you can't find the place, you just have to find it." He still didn't quite believe that Jin Cancan had this ability. After all, he had raised it at home for so long that he was afraid that some of its abilities would degenerate.
However, Wen Le still felt a little pain in his heart. The beef jerky he was promised was a system reward after he upgraded two days ago. It was very expensive in the mall. Two hundred grams of beef jerky cost one thousand credit points, and the large package of 500 grams cost two thousand five hundred. Although he made money now, he didn't dare let the little thing eat it as a meal. At most, he would let it eat it occasionally to satisfy its craving.
"Awoo~" I need a big package~
When it comes to beef jerky, its voice becomes shamefully sweeter by two degrees. It retracts its claws that were about to scare people and sits there looking so well-behaved, as if it wasn't the one who lost its temper just now.
Xu Dongdong, watching from the side, clicked his tongue and said, "Wen Le, this isn't a pet you're raising, it's your ancestor. You're actually worshipping him." He put his arm around Wen Le's shoulders like a good friend and said with a smile, "I heard everything you said just now. Where's the beef jerky? Hurry and give it to him."
Wen Le said stubbornly: "There is no such thing as beef jerky. You heard it wrong."
Xu Dongdong didn't believe him and started to search his bag.
Wen Le quickly protected his bag and said, "This is for pets. Do you want to eat it too?"
"Sure enough." Lily also joined in and helped Xu Dongdong search the bag.
As for pet food, what is that?
Coincidentally, they were there when Wen Le was feeding Jin Cancan last time. The pet food conquered several of the little friends as soon as he took it out. The aroma was also amazing. Xu Dongdong was so greedy that he almost drooled. At that time, he couldn't help but grab a piece from Jin Cancan's paw and put it in his mouth. The taste was so delicious that he almost wanted to swallow his tongue.
Pet food is so delicious, this beef jerky must be even more delicious.
In the end, Wen Le was not attacked by his friends from the enemy country, and a bag of beef jerky was stolen.
