After dinner, Su Han emphasized, "I'm just staying here for one night. I'll take care of the rest. No need to prepare anything special."
Old Man He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Han, "I can't live here anymore if this continues."
Only then did Old Man He stop talking in dismay.
In order to avoid causing inconvenience to others, Su Han locked himself in the room after dinner.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next morning, after eating porridge, Old Man He rode his tricycle out. Su Han followed beside him on a bicycle, which made it very convenient for him to move around.
Before leaving, Old Lady Jiang was still nagging, "Sister-in-law Wang next door is so smart! When inflation started, she stockpiled rice and pickled mustard tubers, which I'm afraid would last her more than a year! I'll find a chance to talk to her today and see if I can trade tofu for some food."
Rice and mustard tuber? Su Han couldn't help but sigh. They were easy to preserve and could fill the stomach. Sure enough, there were many experts among the people.
The two were driving on the road when suddenly, Old Man He saw something and stopped in shock, muttering, "What is that guy doing? Is he trying to kill himself?"
Su Han stopped and looked over, only to see a man climbing the edge of the narrow shed on foot. She vaguely recalled, "If I remember correctly, a bird had built a nest on it, and seemed to be planning to hatch eggs."
She noticed the birds because she had considered hunting, but she found a good job and continued to fish well, so she didn't have time to hunt.
"That's too dangerous..." After saying that, Old Man He automatically stopped talking. If he hadn't met Su Han, and there was no food at home, for the sake of his granddaughter, he would have dared to climb up even if he was forced to do so! Now it seems incredible, only because he hasn't been forced to that extent.
After figuring it out, Old Man He showed a sad look. Shaking his head, he said softly, "Never mind, let's go."
Before leaving, Su Han took a last look at the man who was taking bird eggs without any protection and risking his life. What he thought in his heart was that if people were willing to risk their lives just to get something to eat, the world would soon be in chaos.
After walking for a long time, they finally saw the perfect place that Old Man He mentioned. It was a valley in the suburbs, and it was indeed deserted. Su Han felt relieved to fish there.
There were fewer fish in the valley than in the park lakes, and at the end of the day, he caught exactly 14. Su Han was very satisfied. Although the catch was a little less, there was no one around, so it was safer.
He was so happy that he lifted the bucket full of fish onto the back seat of the tricycle and said happily, "If we can take these to the black market to trade, we will never have to worry about food and clothing!"
Today he rode a tricycle specifically for the convenience of transportation.
Can you survive to the end with food and drink? Su Han didn't think so. But she didn't want to undermine Old Man He's self-confidence, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's go back."
"Let's go." Old Man He said excitedly.
Have a safe journey. When we got home, Mrs. Jiang had already prepared basins and kept the fishes in water.
Old Man He took the initiative to say, "You should know the way to the valley, right? I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon, and go to the black market to exchange some daily necessities in the morning. Your share will still be exchanged for instant noodles, right?"
"That's right." Su Han nodded.
On the 9th day, they caught 10 fish in total. Just when Mr. He thought life was getting better, something unexpected happened: the valley where they were fishing was discovered. In the morning, they saw hundreds of people fishing together.
When Old Man He found out, he was so anxious that he jumped up and down. "How could this happen? How did they know this place? It's obviously very hidden!"
Su Han was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Pick me up after you go to the black market. Are you sure no one is following you?"
Suddenly, Old Man He felt disappointed.
Su Han shrugged, "That's probably how I discovered it."
Old Man He was very annoyed, "I should have been more careful, eh."
"Forget it." Su Han didn't care much. "It's not easy to hide it for three days. The fish in the city park lakes have been almost caught. People who don't want to wait for death will of course change places. In other words, it's only a matter of time before we are discovered."
"The later the better." Old Man He was still blaming himself.
Su Han smiled helplessly. The valley had been discovered. What else could he do except to be optimistic?
On the 8th day, the price level rose by 100%.
On the 9th day, the price level rose by 100%.
On the 10th day, the price level rose by 100%.
Prices are soaring faster than a rocket taking off.
For example, a bowl of ordinary noodles now costs more than 3,000 shells.
The hungry people have gradually lost their minds. According to news reports, all the animals in the zoo have been hunted and killed by criminals! Order is not far from collapse.
At Su Han's insistence, the two returned home early.
When Mrs. Jiang saw the two of them, she was very puzzled, "Why are you back?"
"Don't mention it." Old Man He sighed and told the whole story of the occupation of the valley.
Old Mrs. Jiang was so disappointed that she asked, "Why are you so careless!"
"I...I..." Old Man He was speechless for a long time.
Su Han weighed the fishing rod and asked, "I have to leave. Can you sell me the fishing rod?"
Mrs. Jiang quickly apologized, "The old man didn't mean it, don't be angry."
Su Han shook his head and said casually, "I want to leave not because the valley has been discovered, but because the time is almost up. Knowing that there are fish in the water, everyone will of course rush over, but what if all the fish are caught?"
Before the two could react, she continued, "After we finish chewing tree bark and grass roots, people outside will probably do anything to get food. I have to find a secluded place to stay."
"Why don't you stay?" Old Man He was extremely puzzled.
Su Han smiled helplessly. If she stayed, she might help them if they had any problems. But this was a chaotic world, and she was clearly unable to take care of herself, so how could she have the energy to take care of others?
It is better to be a passer-by in each other's life. After all, no one needs to be responsible for anyone else.
Seeing that Su Han was determined to leave, Old Man He sighed, "Don't talk about whether to buy it or not, I'll give you the fishing rod. You've helped us a lot during this period, I'm very grateful."
Su Han thought about it and said, "Okay."
After the discussion, Old Man He warmly invited us to stay, "Stay one more night and leave tomorrow morning."
Su Han agreed with a smile.
On the morning of the 11th day, seeing that Su Han had not left the bedroom for a long time, Old Lady Jiang could not help but knock on the door.
For a long time, no one answered.
"Is anyone there? I'm about to go in." After waiting for a while and still no one answered, Old Mrs. Jiang opened the bedroom door.
Only then did she realize that the room was already empty. On the table were some black bread, milk, soap, and instant noodles, which were much more valuable than the fishing rod that Su Han took away.
"So, there are still good people in the world." Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
**
Su Han sat on the bench and fell into deep thought. Money was like waste paper, and theft and robbery were becoming more and more common. How could she ensure her own safety?
At 9 o'clock, the system's mechanical voice sounded again, "On the 11th day, the price level increased by 100%."
However, this time, the government did not stop after announcing the price increase, but continued, "Department stores and supermarkets are running low on inventory. From today on, the government will implement a purchase restriction policy."
Suddenly, a person approached quietly.
Su Han seemed to sense something and pulled the slingshot towards the person coming.
"Don't be impulsive! It's me!" Wei Minzhe spoke quickly.
Su Han's posture remained unchanged, but he frowned, "It's already the 11th day, why haven't you left?"
If you survive in a dungeon for 10 days, you'll be considered to have cleared the level and can teleport out freely. So why is this guy still in the dungeon?
Wei Minzhe said righteously, "The more days you survive, the faster your level will increase. Of course, you can't give up easily! Besides, there are extra rewards for surviving 20 days. We have to give it a try."
Su Han pretended to let go.
Wei Minzhe was very anxious, "Let's talk it over nicely!!"
"The last chance." Su Han felt that there was something strange about Wei Minzhe.
Wei Minzhe had to be honest, "Of course it's for the survivors' reward. Isn't it clearly written? The survivors ranked 1000-10000 will get a 10,000 yuan reward, the survivors ranked 100-1000 will get a 100,000 yuan reward, and the top 100 will get a 1 million yuan reward. Even if I can't get into the top 100, I have to at least get into the top 10,000!"
Su Han loosened his hand and put away the slingshot, "I see."
She knew that there would be a generous cash reward for being the last batch of players, but she didn't take it seriously.
Wei Minzhe carefully looked at the man in front of him and suddenly asked, "Were you robbed? Why do you look a little down and out?"
Su Han said casually, "The game is getting harder and harder, it's not as good as it used to be."
In fact, the passers-by were all ragged and dirty. She felt that if she was clean, white and fat, she would seem out of place. It was as if she was suggesting to others that she was a fat sheep, welcome to be slaughtered.
So Su Han made himself look dirty and completely integrated into the crowd.
Wei Minzhe just felt that the phrase "the game is getting harder and harder" was very much to his liking! Since entering the game, he has been cheated all the way and has not had a good life.
For a moment, Wei Minzhe's blood boiled, and he said passionately, "Don't say that I don't take care of you. There is a big deal recently, do you dare to come?"
Su Han, "..."
Why does it feel like he's trying to drag her into the bandit's den?
"What business?" Su Han asked curiously.
Wei Minzhe had a serious face and said slowly, "Rob the rich to help the poor."
Su Han thought, what's wrong with being rich? Did she provoke you? If her family background was known to others, would there be heroes who would rob the rich and give to the poor?
On her face, she looked calm and asked, "Where are you grabbing?"
"Supermarket, hospital, restaurant!" Wei Minzhe listed three terms in one breath.
Su Han refused without hesitation, "You go if you want to go, I'm not going anyway." There was no robbery in her plan.
Wei Minzhe was very helpless. It was just a game, why was he so serious? It wasn't like he was robbing someone in real life.
Because of the disagreement, the two parted ways. Su Han continued to sit for a while, then walked towards the jungle in the city center park, intending to hunt.
When she first entered the game, she went to the park, and the birds were chirping non-stop, looking very lively. But this time when she went to the park again, Su Han found, as expected, that the forest was dead silent, as if all the birds had died.
"I'm afraid there are no bird eggs left." Muttering, Su Han shook his head and left.
The author has something to say: I thought about it and felt that this might be a fishing, hunting, end of the world, and survival article-_-||
