Chapter 298 Extra Meal
She couldn't help but consider the factors that Lin Zhishen mentioned. At worst, she could just exchange for some compressed biscuits. It was better to arouse suspicion than to lose her life.
And...
Lin Baoer pursed her lips and frowned.
Thirty to fifty people, so many?
She thought there were only twenty to thirty people.
If so, they'd better stay away.
Although she wasn't afraid, she couldn't ignore other people. Besides, she wasn't made of iron or steel. If she was ambushed by negligence, she wouldn't have much chance of winning against that group of murderers.
When you walk in the rivers and lakes, you'll get your shoes wet. She didn't dare to gamble.
Lin Baoer decided to obey the rest of her life and didn't object.
After he left, Lin Baoer did not leave, but sat down next to Lin Zhishen. Seeing that he was in deep thought, she asked tentatively, "How did you escape?"
Since that group of people were so evil and murderous, and they had kidnapped Lin Zhishen to the base camp, how did he escape?
She was not questioning, but she was curious, and wanted to learn from them. If she was so unlucky and encountered the same thing, she would have an example to learn from.
Lin Zhishen glanced at her, picked up the water bottle next to him and took a sip, then leaned back, supported the ground with his hands, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky full of stars, his tone was ethereal.
"Of course I paid a price."
Price?
Lin Baoer became more and more curious. As Lin Zhishen said, that group of people were not only greedy for money but also interested in women. What price could he pay to get out of this situation?
But Lin Zhishen was unwilling to say more after saying this, just like the time when he talked about cannibalism, which made Lin Baoer quite dissatisfied.
But since they were unwilling to say it, she couldn't force him to answer. She was so angry that her cheeks swelled and she glared at Lin Zhishen.
Lin Zhishen smiled at her and said nothing.
Everyone slept very well that night, and even when they were on the road the next day, they were quite energetic.
Yu Sheng did not tell everyone what they would encounter next. This was also for the sake of morale. Otherwise, if they heard him complaining all the way, it would affect their journey.
After walking for two hours, they arrived at the barren land that Yu Sheng had mentioned. All they could see was endless yellow sand and gravel, as well as sparse weeds. It was even more desolate than the place they had passed before.
However, no one thought much about it, thinking that the environment had changed. Jiang Yuzhi even pulled the dead grass on the roadside while walking, trying to have fun.
"Why are you pulling that?" Lin Baoer was hesitant to speak.
Could this girl be starving?
Seeing what she meant, Jiang Yuzhi blushed and quickly explained, "I think these dead leaves can be used to make a fire. We still have the fox that we haven't eaten yet..."
She glanced at the tied fox and mouse with the rest of her eyes and blinked.
Although she was a little resistant in her heart, she had to be very careful in times of crisis. When there was nothing left to eat, she would just go hungry if she continued to pick.
Hearing this, Lin Baoer suddenly realized and her eyes lit up.
There was quite a lot of dry grass at a glance. As long as they worked a little harder, they could collect enough firewood for grilling meat.
Even if it was half-cooked, it was better than eating raw meat.
Thinking of this, she soon joined Jiang Yuzhi in pulling weeds.
Yin Qiang, Chang Jian, Si Xu, and Lin Zhishen took turns carrying Xiaosong and Uncle Qiao. Occasionally, when they took a rest, they would pull some dry grass from the roadside and take it with them.
After rushing for another two hours, they found an empty place to sit down and rest.
Because there was no sand or stones blocking the way, the sun shone directly on people, making everyone unbearable.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Sister Baoer..."
Suddenly, Jiang Yuzhi trotted over with a mournful face. He came close to Lin Baoer and exposed the back of his neck to her. He said aggrievedly, "Please help me see what's wrong here. It hurts."
Lin Baoer looked closely and found that her skin there was very red. After accidentally rubbing it, a lot of skin peeled off.
"You must have been scratched by the sun." Lin Baoer frowned and didn't dare to touch it with his hands. He had to exchange a bottle of scratch ointment from the system store and apply it on her. "Don't touch it, you know?"
Jiang Yuzhi whimpered and agreed.
After applying it to her, Lin Baoer took a look at everyone's body and found that many people's exposed skin was red and had a tendency to be bruised, which made her feel excited.
If left alone, the sores in the eyes will lead to itching and infection. If something goes wrong again...
After thinking about it, she went to Lin Zhishen with the bottle of sore ointment.
After returning, Lin Zhishen helped others check the wounds one by one, and then applied the wound ointment one by one.
At noon, they took care of the remaining three watermelons and set off again.
There is no way, there is less and less food now, and they don't eat much at noon. They are just waiting to eat better in the evening so that they can store their energy for the next day.
Until the evening, they luckily found a natural hollow, which could accommodate about five or six people, making everyone very happy.
"Miss Jiang, bring all the grass you picked today!" Xiaosong shouted outside the hollow.
Now Xiaosong's injury is getting better little by little. Except for not being able to do strenuous exercise and long-distance travel, he can adapt to other small movements very well. Therefore, he is getting more and more restless. During the break, he must follow Wang Zhong and others to make a fire.
Yes, they are going to get the fox and the mouse to eat tonight.
Hearing the sound from a distance, Jiang Yuzhi responded and rushed over with the dry grass beside him. Lin Baoer looked over there and walked in the opposite direction.
After she walked to a farther place, she let Xiaofen out.
"Be good, wait." She rubbed Xiaofen's head, and then began to flip through the system mall.
Since she completed the task, the system mall has automatically upgraded to the highest level. The materials in it are countless, up to thousands of pages, and there is no catalog. If you want to find something, you can only flip through it page by page.
When the system existed before, she could still ask the system, but unfortunately, the system suddenly disappeared after she completed the task, which made her feel very sad.
Or in fact, it shouldn't be considered as disappearing, because this system mall did not disappear with the departure of the system, but still existed in her mind. And no matter how she called the system, she got no response. After a while, she could only give up and just treat the system as if it was asleep.
It is precisely because of this that she still cannot fully understand how many things there are in this entire system mall. Whenever she needs something, she has to search for it on the spot. This situation has caused her a lot of suffering.
