After two days of chaos and war, Wang Zhou managed to get through it. Although he survived the two most dangerous days, it was still unknown how long he could survive. After all, this place was too backward.
At dawn that day, the boss Wang Chuan came to discuss with Tian Hao, and Lin Xiaoman was also listening nearby.
Most of the Wang family's savings were used to exchange for those few medicines. Now the family was only worried about food shortages. The men could survive by making do with whatever they had, but Wang Zhou, a pregnant woman, would have no milk if she didn't have enough nutrition, and the third child was weak and small and couldn't drink broth.
After discussing it, the five brothers of the Wang family still wanted to try their best to keep the third baby, even though she was a girl. In the past two days, Wang Zhou relied on nutrient solution and eating the placenta to barely have some milk to feed the baby. But including the two bottles they gave, there were only five nutrient solutions in total, and she could only last for another six or seven days at most.
The garbage ship will not return for another four or five days, so the Wang brothers want to go out into the wild these days to see if they can get some harvest.
When going outdoors, it is natural to go in a group, as numbers give courage. So Wang Chuan came to ask Tian Hao to go with him.
Lin Xiaoman was originally struggling with whether to go out into the wild to take a look. Now that he had guides from the Wang family who had been to the wild, it would of course be a better idea.
And the more people there are, the higher the safety factor is.
"Brother, let's go too. I heard there are gray rabbits in the wild. Maybe we can catch one if we're lucky."
"Okay. Let's join." As soon as Lin Xiaoman opened his mouth, Tian Hao immediately agreed. It had been more than three months, and Tian Hao, who clearly felt his strength had increased, had actually been itching to show off his skills for a long time.
"Xiaoying is going too?" Wang Chuan, who just wanted to get Tian Hao to join the group, was stunned, with a look of disapproval on his face.
"Yes, Xiaoying will go too," Tian Hao said firmly, and then added, "Whoever catches the small prey gets it. If we encounter something like a black pig that we need to deal with together, Xiaoying will just watch from the side. If she doesn't participate, it won't count either. Is that okay?"
"Okay." The most important thing about group hunting is the profit sharing. Even brothers should be clear about their accounts. Lin Xiaoman doesn't count towards his share. Wang Chuan had no objection. He nodded and then reminded carefully, "Although we have a general idea of the distribution of wild animals, we can't guarantee absolute safety. There are still risks. Going hunting in the wild is a gamble with your life."
"Brother Wang Chuan, don't worry, we know it." Tian Hao said seriously.
"Okay, let's meet in half an hour." Having said that, Wang Chuan didn't say anything more.
The brother and sister simply packed their belongings, including weapons, dried meat, and water, hid their supplies, and locked the door before heading to Wang's house.
At about the same time, everyone else arrived.
Four brothers from the Wang family went, along with two brothers from their in-laws, the Zhou family, and three people from the Liu family. A father brought a son and a daughter, and the girl looked only slightly older than Lin Xiaoman.
Wang Chuan briefly explained the distribution: individual gains belonged to individuals, while collective action was divided equally among everyone present, except for Lin Xiaoman and the Liu family's daughter. Of course, if anyone ran away or did not contribute, there would definitely be no such thing. If someone was injured or died while dealing with the prey, there would be more points.
We reached a consensus and set off.
Their shantytown is on the south side of the garbage dump. On weekdays, they go north to pick up garbage, and when they go to the wild, they go south.
After more than a quarter of an hour, there was a hundred-meter-long avenue outside the shantytown. In front of us was a neat row of color-coated steel houses that were obviously a level higher than the shantytown.
That was the territory of Li Ge and his group. There were even a few beautiful houses behind the color steel plates. It was said that Li Ge and several of his capable subordinates lived in the houses.
The residence is on the east side, and there are several large warehouses on the west side, where they usually go to exchange supplies.
Lin Xiaoman noticed a forklift-like vehicle, two large vehicles similar to military transport trucks, and three small pickup trucks in the warehouse area.
If you have a car, you can go to the city!
However, this Brother Li was just a middleman under Master Liu, and Lin Xiaoman guessed that he didn't even know where the city gate was.
Wang Chuan said a few words to the guard at the door, and the group of people were let in. They passed through the avenue between the warehouse and the house, and arrived at the back door, a distance of a kilometer.
"Hand over 20% of the harvest. Clean up the prey outside and don't leave any blood. Don't bring back any dangerous things like coyotes and earthworms, otherwise I will kill you on the spot. Do you understand?" The guard guarding the back door with a gun gave the order in a rough voice.
"I know, we know the rules." Wang Chuan said with a smile.
Once you go out of this door, you will be in the wilderness.
It feels like a desolate wilderness with almost no trees, only small shrubs and some vines.
"Four or five kilometers over there is a swamp. They say the earthworms' nest is in that area. It's very dangerous." Wang Chuan pointed to the southeast and warned everyone with a stern face.
Lin Xiaoman: Write it down in your notebook. That's where the Demon Hunting Crystals go.
"There are not many animals in this area. Let's go west." Wang Chuan pointed to the west and then pointed at the ground.
Lu Xun said: "There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on them, they become roads."
Under their feet was a road that was clearly created by wheels.
"This is the route their hunting team has always taken. As long as we don't go too far, it's safe."
We followed the path taken by our predecessors and saw other teams in the distance, but they were not walking in the same direction as them.
After walking briskly for about half an hour, the surrounding vines, bushes, and thorn bushes gradually increased. It was no longer a barren land, but had a touch of green.
There are several roads under your feet.
Wang Chuan stopped at the fork and pointed ahead, "See that hill ahead? There are a lot of animals there, including black pigs, and you can also pick fruits and edible vegetables."
About four or five kilometers away, the flat plain terrain turns into undulating hills, layer upon layer, with no end in sight, just like a deep mountain forest.
Jinshan is definitely a place rich in resources. But unfortunately...
Wang Chuan paused and poured a bucket of cold water on him. "Of course, there are coyote packs there, and I heard there are also mountain tigers and woolly bears. Staying here, the view is wide, there are very few wild animals, and the safety factor is high. However, there are only small animals like sand rats and gray rabbits here. They are fast, difficult to catch, and there are few of them. Another three or four kilometers ahead, at the foot of the mountain, there will be more people, but there is also the possibility of encountering wild animals coming down from the mountain, which is somewhat dangerous. Moreover, the journey is long, and we may not be able to return in time at night. We may have to spend the night in the wild. Let's vote now. Those who want to continue moving forward, raise your hands."
As a conservative, Lin Xiaoman did not move.
There are already quite a few plants here. I might find something valuable if I pick some and take them back. Besides, it's my first time here, so there are so many people around and it's not advisable to rush in.
Since Lin Xiaoman didn't raise his hand, Tian Hao certainly didn't move either.
The father of the Liu family shook his teeth and slowly raised his hand. His son and daughter followed suit. The two people from the Zhou family obviously wanted to go deeper and also raised their hands. Then Wang Chuan also raised his hand, and the other three naturally followed his pace. 9 to 2, continue to move forward.
After walking for nearly another hour, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.
