Except for Huo Yishen, the others all looked very tired. There were tears in Doudou's eyes and his little face was extremely pale, obviously frightened.
No one spoke, and the three men moved the water tower tacitly.
Jiang Ning put away the assault boat and carried the firewood upstairs.
Zheng Weili walked in front of her and stumbled and almost fell.
Jiang Ning couldn't open her hand, so he quickly used his body to push her up.
The two continued to go up, Zheng Weili walked in a strange posture, obviously her foot was injured.
Jiang Ning had a sensitive nose and could faintly smell blood.
Could there be a gunfight on this trip?
There are countless eyes in the apartment building. Now is not the time to show weakness. Once people find out that the 18th floor is in trouble, many people will rush up like mad dogs.
Zheng Weili gritted her teeth and returned to the 18th floor. She put the firewood in the corridor, her expression in pain.
Jiang Ning helped her into the house, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Weili's calf was injured, and the blood dyed the gauze red.
It was not a knife wound or a gunshot wound, but a blood hole.
Zheng Weili was in great pain, "It was a wild boar that hit us."
Jiang Ning frowned, "Did you go into the mountains again?"
"What else can we do if we don't go into the mountains?" Zheng Weili smiled bitterly, "Everything we need to survive is soaked in the water. People are starving to death outside every day. When we went out today, we saw someone throwing corpses from the building, and there were more than one.
We can barely hold on for seven or eight months, but supplies are getting harder and harder to find. What should we do in the future?"
Dismantling the water tower is secondary. Today, the main goal is to go into the mountains.
They climbed several mountains, and Kele lived up to everyone's expectations and found a nest of wild boars. There were as many as five, and they were all big.
After unanimous discussion, they decided to take action to kill them.
Jiang Ning was worried for them, "Wild boars are not like farmed ones, they are very aggressive."
It is very dangerous, but wild boar meat can keep people alive, so they have to fight even if the risk is huge!
Jiang Ning took out gauze and iodine, and searched for surgical instruments and sutures, "The wound is too big and it is difficult to stop the bleeding. Should I send you to the hospital or let me sew it up?"
"It's not a big wound, you can sew it up for me."
Zheng Weili often gets injured while boxing, so she doesn't take it seriously. Besides, there is no medicine in the hospital, so it's better to do it at home.
Jiang Ning had some anesthetics in stock last time, so he disinfected the wound first, then gave anesthesia to block the pain, and then started to sew it up.
It was his first time to sew someone up, but he had practiced with pork countless times before, so he was quite steady.
Lu Yu next to him was so scared that his face turned blue, and he held his girlfriend's hand tightly, "Aning, Weili's life is in your hands."
Zheng Weili pushed him, "You hurt my hand."
Zhang Chao rolled his eyes, "Don't be so silly."
Zheng Weili was not the only one injured, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu were also injured, but they were all scratches and not a big problem.
Huo Yishen had a scratch on his arm and was bleeding, and he and Meishiren comforted Doudou who was frightened and crying.
It was raining and the forest was slippery. Zheng Weili killed a wild boar with her bare hands, but was bitten by its fangs.
Kele was very brave, and he and Huo Yishen cooperated seamlessly to kill the remaining four.
Zhang Chao and Lu Yu also helped, but they were not at the same level after all. If Huo Yishen had not come to his rescue, Zhang Chao would probably have died today. As
a result, Huo Yishen's arm was cut.
Doudou did not participate. She was tied to a tall tree by Huo Yishen and was completely frightened and cried by the fierce battle under the tree.
After suturing Zheng Weili's wound, Jiang Ning took care of 1801.
There was a cut, which was not particularly deep. After disinfection, 10 stitches were sutured and painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs were taken.
Everyone sat down to discuss how to deal with the wild boar.
Without a refrigerator, it is impossible to store it at home.
"How about making it into barbecued meat?" Lu Yu suggested, "We brought back a few boxes of charcoal last time."
Jiang Ning rejected it, "Barbecued meat consumes too much charcoal, and how long will it take to roast five pigs? By then, the whole community will be filled with the smell of barbecue."
"Do you still remember the sharp-nosed monkey?" Zhang Chao was quick-witted, "They not only sell things, but also collect things. We are short of food now, how about exchanging wild boar with him?"
Last time, they traded five times in a row, and the other party was still quite trustworthy.
This method is not bad, maybe we can try it.
Several people stuffed a pig into the water tower, and they have already slaughtered four large pieces.
The wild boar meat was taken out of the water tower. The skin was thick and the pig was thick, the meat was dark red, and there was almost no fat.
Jiang Ning disagreed with taking the whole pig over, "Let's cut a few pounds first to test it out, don't tell us how much we have, if we can negotiate, we'll still trade in batches."
Two people were injured, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu volunteered to go to the department store to find the sharp-nosed monkey.
In the end times, who can always take care of whom, how far you can go depends on yourself.
Jiang Ning didn't stop them, and told them to be careful.
Doudou was startled, and fell asleep after being comforted. Huo Yishen carried her back to the house to sleep.
Zheng Weili told Jiang Ning about the situation at the villa in the middle of the mountain. This time, six water towers were dismantled, and a lot of pure wooden furniture was collected, as well as two unused gas cylinders.
These must be found as soon as possible, otherwise they will soon be sold to others.
"The wild boar is hiding in the mountains, so we probably won't find it for now."
An hour later, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu came back.
"We found out that the leader of the sharp-nosed monkeys is surnamed Qin. They are willing to exchange grain for pork, but they are taking advantage of the situation."
One pound of wild boar meat can be exchanged for two pounds of broken rice, and only one pound of new rice.
I brought five pounds of meat and got five pounds of new rice in return.
Jiang Ning took a look and saw that it was good quality rice. "You guys weren't followed?"
"No, we drove a raft and deliberately circled."
"They really want this batch of meat. If you want to exchange it for new rice, it's all vacuum-packed and has the latest expiration date."
They called Huo Yishen over and discussed the deal.
Jiang Ning agreed to exchange meat for rice. It seemed like a bit of a loss, but Zheng Weili and her friends had no means to preserve wild boar meat, and many people couldn't even buy rice, so how many people would buy meat?
Compared to meat, rice is more filling and more durable.
Five wild boars, if slaughtered clean, have an average net weight of 200 kilograms, which can be exchanged for a lot of food.
However, they still want to keep some meat, so they decided to exchange only four.
The wild boars were divided into four parts, 1803 took two parts, 1801 took one part, and the cola part was given to Jiang Ning.
Wild boar firewood is good for barbecue, and can also be used to make chili meat sauce, which can be stored for a long time without spoiling.
However, whether it is barbecue or making meat sauce, it is not only time-consuming but also has a strong smell. It is best not to do it on the 18th floor.
The smell is one thing, but people can't stand it if the door is closed.
Huo Yishen suggested, "The villa complex has been vacated, why not make it there and come back?"
Jiang Ning just had this idea.
Others had no opinions.
So, the three men packed the wild boar meat into bags and stuffed them into big backpacks, and set out on a canoe to trade. They
also took Coke with them.
They met at a department store, and the two sides avoided the crowds and traded in the silent flood...
