Chapter 117 What if I can’t find the way back?
From a distance, it looked like they were living in an igloo.
In fact, this is true. Except for the lack of a roof made of ice bricks, it is indeed almost the same as an igloo.
I originally wanted to use ice bricks to make the roof, but I was afraid that the wind and snow would crush the ice and damage the tent roof, so I had to give up in the end.
Although there are no ice bricks on the roof, the walls are made of ice and the joints are tight, so the wind and snow can't blow in at all, and it is much warmer overall.
The longer you live in a place, the more things you will have, and the more cozy the layout will become, making it more like a home.
In terms of accommodation, this place is indeed getting better and better.
But it's not all good news.
Every extra day you stay means one more day's worth of supplies will be consumed.
After so many days, the huge chicken had been eaten clean by them.
The ones who ate the most were not Nan Ci and his three companions, but the four cats and the little turtle.
As they grew in size, so did their appetites.
Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest certainly had no objection to the appetite of the four cats and the little turtle.
Not to mention that they only eat this much, even if they eat more, the two of them would not have any objections.
The two of them can eat less, but they must not let the four cats and the little turtle starve.
Not only did they have no objections, Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang also had no objections.
The only thing that worried Mu Qianqian was where they could go to catch another chicken.
"Those people were lucky enough to stumble upon a chicken this big. We've lived here for so many days, how come we haven't seen one?"
Hearing Mu Qianqian's words, Nan Ci nodded in agreement, "That's right, why didn't we see any big chickens? Could it be that these chickens don't like to come here? Otherwise, why don't we just go somewhere else?"
When he first spoke, there was still uncertainty in Nan Ci's tone.
But when it came to the end, Nan Ci felt that this proposal was very good.
If you sit at home, pie will not fall from the sky, and it is even more impossible for a chicken to come to you by itself.
They still have to take the initiative!
After Nan Ci made this suggestion, the others agreed without any hesitation.
We have to go, but who goes is the problem.
The tent was different from the building they had lived in before.
The house I lived in before had doors and windows, so safety was guaranteed.
Even if everyone is out, as long as the doors and windows are locked, there is no need to worry too much.
But the tent they were living in now didn't even have a proper door.
If all staff really go out, there probably won’t be any tents left when they come back.
It’s not possible for all of us to go together, so we can only split into two groups.
Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest have the highest martial arts skills among the four, while Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang are slightly weaker.
Without much discussion, the teams were divided.
Nan Ci is still in the same team with Mu Qianqian. After breakfast tomorrow, Nan Ci will take Mu Qianqian out for a while.
The main purpose is to find the big chicken, but you should also take a look at the surrounding situation.
It has been so many days since the earthquake, and I don’t know how the other survivors survived.
And those bases were built with great difficulty, allowing some privileged people to live a life similar to that before the apocalypse. Now they have all been destroyed by a devastating earthquake. No one knows what measures the bases will take.
Thinking about these questions in his mind, Nan Ci didn't know when he fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already the next morning and it was already dawn outside.
Nan Ci had just made a slight movement when Mu Qianqian immediately crawled out of the sleeping bag.
"Nan Ci, you're awake! Let's wash up and eat something so we can set off early."
Looking at the dark circles and bloodshot eyes of Mu Qianqian, Nan Ci smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Even though he is so old, he can't sleep because he is so excited about going on a long journey the next day.
It's a little funny, but also pretty cute.
Maybe it's because I've been here too long and I've been holding it in for too long.
From washing up to eating breakfast, Mu Qianqian has been in a relatively excited state.
He doesn't look like someone who hasn't slept well at all.
As soon as she finished breakfast, Mu Qianqian couldn't wait to ask, "Nan Ci, can we set off now?"
Facing Mu Qianqian's expectant eyes, Nan Ci nodded, "Yes, that's enough. Pack up your things. Bring food and drinks, fire, charcoal and firewood, sleeping bags, and tents."
Mu Qianqian stood up, walked to a huge mountaineering bag, and patted it vigorously. "Mine is all packed, is yours not packed yet? I'll help you pack it now."
Nan Ci quickly stopped her, "No, no, I've already packed mine. Since you're ready, let's go!"
Not to mention Mu Qianqian's anticipation, Nan Ci herself was also very much looking forward to it, but she didn't express it as obviously as Mu Qianqian.
If Nan Ci wants to leave here, he must take all four cats with him.
Even though he and the old Taoist priest were partners who trusted each other and lived together, the most important things to Nan Ci were the four cats.
Wherever she went, she took her four cats with her.
She couldn't feel at ease until she saw them before her eyes.
The three old Taoist priests had no objection to Nan Ci's decision.
Nan Ci and Mu Qianqian carried their respective backpacks and sat on Zizi's back with the other three cats.
They went out to find out what was going on around them, not to show off, they just wanted the cub to grow up.
It snowed heavily for so many days and the snow was very thick.
They regularly clear the snow around the tent so it does not hinder their daily activities.
But a little further away, no one had cleared the snow and it was already as high as a person.
In other words, the cubs are now tall and have long legs, much taller than the snow, so they can run freely.
With just a few jumps, they were already far away from their tent.
I ran forward for another minute or two, and when I looked back, I could only see the white snow and couldn't see where the tent was at all.
Mu Qianqian was a little worried, "Nan Ci, what should we do if we can't find the way when we come back?"
Nan Ci chuckled, "Don't worry about that. The cubs have a very sensitive sense of smell. Even if you can't see it at all, you can follow their sense of smell to find it."
As soon as Nan Ci finished speaking, he saw Mu Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief, "Then I feel relieved!"
While the two were talking, the baby was still running forward.
The wind and snow were already very strong, and when it ran, the wind and snow roared in the ears of the two people like a monster.
