After thinking about it, Su Han followed his neighbor's example and put up a sign in front of his house, "Radiation source inside, please stay away."
Then she locked the doors and windows and walked around.
Surprisingly, green belts and flower beds were also utilized, with a lot of dandelions and hazelnuts planted.
After removing the roots and washing, dandelions are equivalent to wild vegetables, while hazelnuts are nuts that are not only nutritious but also rich in calories.
Su Han stood in front of the flower bed for a long time with a blank expression on her face. Finally, she sighed and left reluctantly - she continued to search for food, her backpack was really full! At least she should consume some first to make more room.
After patrolling around and making sure the place was safe, Su Han returned to his room.
Sitting on the floor, she used a bar of soap to restore cleanliness, then carefully thought about what to eat first to make room as quickly as possible.
Just then, Yu Baowen came back and announced happily, "I dug up a few potatoes! We can eat them together tonight."
Su Han, "..."
Girl, how come you are so capable?
She couldn't just say, "No, I have too much food to carry with me." In the end, she could only smile and say, "Great, dinner is taken care of."
Yu Baowen promised earnestly, "Don't worry, I will try my best to find more food so that both of us can pass smoothly."
Someone else wants to support her... Su Han felt indescribably sad. But she couldn't tell anyone that she had a lot of supplies on her. There is an idiom called "a crime if you have a treasure in your possession" and a phrase called "hate the rich".
So she could only act out her acting skills and said cheerfully, "I'll make the fire."
"I'll help too." Yu Baowen helped stack the firewood.
Su Han took out a lighter and lit the fire. Soon, the firewood was burning.
Potatoes are a very convenient food. Just roast them a little and sprinkle them with salt, and they will become very delicious.
After Su Han finished roasting the potatoes, he gave half to Yu Baowen.
"What's up with the wooden board at the door?" Yu Baowen asked as he waited for the potatoes to cool down. "When I first saw it, I almost didn't dare to come in."
"You're really nervous, aren't you?" Su Han said with a smile, "This is exactly the effect we want. Hang the board at the door, and others will automatically avoid it when they see it. This way we'll be safe."
Yu Baowen was very impressed, the method of avoiding danger was amazing!
"Did you encounter any danger after going out?" Su Han asked.
Yu Baowen said calmly, "I encountered several groups of people who were chasing and robbing me, but I avoided them all. I took a long detour on my way back, so I guess no one followed me."
"Have you found an alternative safe place to stay?" Su Han continued to ask.
Yu Baowen shook his head, feeling extremely heavy-hearted. "People are running and searching everywhere. Even if I find a safe alternative place to stay now, it may no longer be safe by the time I need it. So I came back."
Su Han comforted him, "Then just adapt to the situation!"
The two ate and chatted, and soon night fell.
In the darkness, if there was a fire, it would be too conspicuous. So Su Han calmly put out the fire, locked the doors and windows, and then leaned against the wall to rest.
Yu Baowen found a corner and closed his eyes to rest.
No words were spoken that night.
In the early morning, the two of them shared the remaining potatoes, and Yu Baowen planned to go out to look for food again.
Su Han was worried, so he followed him.
The journey was smooth. However, when the two arrived at their destination and were about to dig potatoes, an old man ran over and shouted in great pain, "These are the potatoes I planted! They are mine! How can you just take them!"
He was so anxious that he wanted to jump up and down, and his expression of heartache was definitely not fake. But he didn't dare to shout loudly, because he was afraid of attracting other people, so he could only roar in a low voice.
Yu Baowen, "..."
Su Han, "..."
Frankly speaking, it is hard to tell whose potatoes are planted in the flowerbeds on the roadside. Besides, this is a survival game, and sometimes you have to resort to any means to survive.
But the person who came out was an old man, and Su Han felt quite guilty. In addition, she actually had enough food and drink, but she took the rations that others relied on for survival, which made her feel even more guilty.
"We didn't know it had an owner... Is there anything you want? Consider it an exchange." Su Han explained patiently.
The old man was still very angry, "Exchange? What do you want to exchange?" You are obviously two poor guys for stealing potatoes from his house!
"Anything is fine, at least it can help you recover some of your losses." Yu Baowen helped persuade her. She thought it was a system resource point, but who knew it was planted by an NPC. She felt very confused at the moment.
The old man muttered for a long time, and finally said reluctantly, "Food, drinking water, fuel, lighters, daily necessities, what do you have?"
Su Han was about to take out the soap from his backpack when Yu Baowen grabbed a lighter and handed it to him, "Is this enough?"
The old man opened his mouth so wide that his eyes almost popped out.
"Not enough?" Yu Baowen asked casually, meaning that if it was not enough, he could add some more.
However, the old man seemed to be afraid that others would think he was greedy, so he nodded quickly and said repeatedly, "That's enough, if you want to eat more, you can dig some more."
He happily took seven or eight lighters and left even faster than when he came. His agility was totally unlike that of an old man.
Yu Baowen looked bewildered. "How come a lighter is more valuable than food? Could it be that he thought it was inlaid with diamonds?"
After going through the deserted island dungeon, Su Han realized something. "No matter how much food there is, it has to be cooked before it can be eaten. Drilling wood to make fire sounds easy, but it is not so easy to operate in practice. They can't just keep burning firewood to keep the fire, after all, there are so many fuels. With this in mind, it is easy to understand why lighters are valuable."
"A lighter is worth money?" Yu Baowen was still confused. She had always thought that her talent was mediocre, but she never expected that it would become so powerful in certain circumstances.
She was about to say that there were still a hundred lighters in her portable storage, which she had no place to use. After moving her lips, she swallowed her words back. It's better not to say it out loud. Carrying a large amount of money will easily attract people's attention. Although she was quite confident in Su Han's character, there was no need to test him.
Su Han remembered something else. "No wonder there are two lighters in the white supply box. Maybe in this dungeon, lighters are an important and scarce resource."
"That's great." Yu Baowen tried to speak in a relaxed tone, "It should be easy to pass this instance."
"Well, let's dig potatoes. The owner has allowed us to take them anyway." Su Han changed the subject.
The old man looked like he had gotten a great advantage, so the two men didn't hesitate and worked together to dig up a lot of potatoes and take them away.
On the way back, the system's mechanical voice suddenly sounded, "Game Day 2, the current number of white supply boxes is 42/50."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Han's backpack sank suddenly.
Su Han pursed his lips. Judging from the increased amount, it seemed to be a double set of black bread and chocolate cake. There was too much food and no time to eat it all. What should I do?
On the side, Yu Baowen was immersed in his own thoughts, so he didn't notice that his friend's expression was wrong.
After returning to the temporary house and storing the potatoes, Yu Baowen took a deep breath and said in a very serious tone, "Although the food problem has been temporarily solved, drinking water is still very troublesome. White supply boxes are very difficult to find, and it is not practical to expect to survive on mineral water."
"What do you think?" Su Han asked back.
Yu Baowen said word by word, "Dig your own shallow well and drink your own water."
Without waiting for her friend to speak, she took the initiative to explain, "As far as I know, there is a simple shallow well that is very suitable for the current situation. Isn't the backyard overgrown with weeds? I suspect there is shallow water underground."
"If we have a drilling platform, we can drill about 6-7 meters underground. If we are lucky and don't hit any rocks, we will encounter an aquifer. We don't have any power tools, so we can dig manually. If we work together, it will take about a day to dig it out."
"I've read some books about this. It's said that during the World War, many people in war-torn cities in Europe dug similar shallow wells to help them survive the war."
Su Han pondered for a moment and asked, "What if you are unlucky and encounter a rock layer? What if you are wrong and there is no aquifer? If someone comes to cause trouble and we have to evacuate strategically, it would be a waste if we can't take the shallow well with us."
Yu Baowen couldn't help but retort, "Are you refusing to try from the beginning because you might fail? If no one comes looking for you, and you have food and water, maybe you can easily get through the fifth instance. No one knows what the future will be like, the only thing you can do is to try your best. It's too miserable to live in fear of bad things happening in the future."
"You're right." Su Han suddenly smiled. "I agree with you. So what I want to say is that you can try, but if the idea doesn't work, you should give up in time. At most, try to dig two shallow wells. If that doesn't work, think of other ways."
"I only plan to fight one..." Yu Baowen muttered softly.
Su Han laughed, but he couldn't help wondering in his heart. This guy knows a lot of common sense about survival, and he even knows where there are aquifers. How come he doesn't know that the drinking water in the aquifers is also dirty and needs to be disinfected with bleach? His knowledge is not comprehensive!
"Prepare the tools and start digging!" Yu Baowen announced excitedly.
Su Han came over to help.
But the two men's luck was very bad. They encountered a rock layer just after digging down one meter, and they could not dig any further.
Yu Baowen, "..."
She had a lost expression on her face, as if she was regretting that her brilliant idea had failed.
Su Han thought that their luck was actually pretty good. If they encountered a rock layer after digging five meters, wouldn't it be more wasted work?
Clearing her throat, she reminded him, "Remember the water carrier you met on the road? There must be a lake or river in the city. Once you find it, you can get water directly."
But whether it is a lake or a river, the water needs to be disinfected before it can be drunk.
"Yeah." Yu Baowen took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
The author has something to say: Old man: Damn! With so many lighters, what can't I exchange for? Why do I have to eat secretly? It's hard to understand the hobbies of rich people.
**
I checked the information and found that in war-torn cities, lighters and bleach are very important and scarce resources. If you stock up in large quantities in advance, you can live a good life by exchanging them. Of course, the premise is that you are not robbed.
