"No." The man in power armor said.
"Okay. I have ten pounds of beef here. In addition, this cowhide has been processed by my ancestral technology. If you want it, you have to exchange it with water. Of course, I may have said nonsense. You should not be short of this material, so wait Please return the cowhide to me."
Jiang Cheng handed over the beef and its hide.
The man in the power armor directly used the internal communicator to ask someone to bring water. At the same time, he took the cowhide over and scanned it with his own power armor. He seemed a little surprised.
Although the material of this kind of cowhide is still the original material, the processing method is a bit strange. He couldn't help but want to study it, so he said: "The cowhide together will give you six pounds of water."
"...Okay." Jiang Cheng said no more.
Soon, Jiang Cheng's water was delivered. It was in a white plastic bottle, weighing exactly six kilograms. I don't know if it was a freshly made bottle or if they already had this kind of bottled water.
As for the evolver next to him, it will take a while for his knife to be produced, so he still has to wait.
Tong Xiaorou looked at the six-pound bottle of water that Jiang Cheng kicked in his hand. She was so excited that her delicate body almost trembled. Her eyes were full of desire and nervousness, and she subconsciously wanted to block other people's sight with her body.
Yaya was the same, but she was very obedient and didn't say anything. She just closed her eyes very hard to suppress the desire in her heart, but she still couldn't help but quietly opened one eye to peek, her little throat squirming.
When many people around saw the six kilograms of water Jiang Cheng was carrying, they couldn't help but look envious and jealous in their eyes.
The food and water they obtained in exchange for their labor could barely satisfy their hunger and sustain their lives. It was impossible to eat and drink enough.
But now, Jiang Cheng got so much water at once, which made many people jealous.
Not far away, the tall and thin man's family was also here. Next to the man, the skinny woman looked envious, and suddenly felt very jealous of Tong Xiaorou. She pursed her lips tightly, wishing she could replace the identity of the girl next to the young man.
In this era, although food is also very scarce, water resources are even more precious.
Maybe all the people in this world have evolved a little, or maybe the human stomach has been optimized in order to forcefully adapt to the environment.
Because those people who ate old tree bark and grass roots before had never seen anyone suffering from indigestion. They could digest anything they could eat, and their adaptability was very strong.
Therefore, if you are really starving, you can barely maintain your life by grabbing some dead wood and stuffing it into your mouth. Although the stomach and intestines may be very uncomfortable, and may even lead to death, at least some people with strong adaptability can still survive.
However, water was hard to find even if he wanted to drink it. Even Jiang Cheng, who had been in this world for almost three days, had not even used the toilet.
Ahead, Jiang Cheng was in no hurry to leave, although not many people dared to snatch him after knowing that he was an evolver.
But just in case, he decided to wait for another evolver.
Because that evolver exchanges more water.
If others really want to target him, it will be easier for them to target that guy.
The evolver opposite could guess Jiang Cheng's plan, but he didn't take it seriously.
Because he is a late-stage first-order evolver with at least seven points of life, which is much stronger than ordinary people.
Not to mention that each of the wilderness people was malnourished, and a large group of people surrounded him and couldn't even touch his clothes.
The two women and a child behind him couldn't help but look at the water in Jiang Cheng's hand, but there was no envy in their eyes because they would have more later.
"Brother-in-law..." Yaya in her arms was a little frightened by the people around her, so she called out in a low voice.
"It's okay." Jiang Cheng smiled.
In just ten minutes, the evolver's water and knife were delivered.
There was a large plastic can with a handle, filled with water, and a gleaming stainless steel knife, which made Jiang Cheng couldn't help but take a second look.
The three people behind the evolver clenched their hands in excitement.
The evolver took it easily without saying a word, carrying water in one hand and a knife in the other. The weight of more than fifty kilograms did not seem to bring any burden to him.
He didn't even look at Jiang Cheng, turned around and left with his people.
The two evolvers never spoke to each other from beginning to end.
Jiang Cheng didn't put his warm face on his cold buttocks. He took advantage of the fact that most people's eyes were attracted to the evolver and immediately left with Tong Xiaorou.
They did not return to their original place, but moved forward to the right.
After walking three to four hundred meters, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and suddenly put the bottled water into his space backpack. He took out the Tang Hengdao and violently chopped off a thigh-thick dead wood next to him, then turned around and pointed back.
There was a rustling sound immediately from behind, and the footsteps quickly disappeared.
There are many people who are not afraid of death, but when they are not sure, those wilderness people will also consider it.
"Jiang Cheng..." Tong Xiaorou said nervously.
"already left."
Jiang Cheng said: "Let's stay away from here."
They sped up.
Not long after, the three of them reached a place where the boat was five or six hundred meters away from the land and stopped under a giant tree.
"Let's just go here. If it's too far away, we can't hear the movement of the land boat. At present, we still need to continue to follow the land boat, otherwise we won't be able to get water."
Jiang Cheng used a knife to open up all the rotten leaves on the ground and cleared a large open space. Then he took out the bonfire and lit it with a thought.
Then he took out the animal skin water bag while cooking the beef he collected earlier with a little excitement.
Although he really wanted to take a bath, the water was still too little and he didn't even dare to wash his face.
He first drank the rest of the water in the water bag in one gulp and spit out a lot of wood residue.
The inside of this animal skin water bag is not clean.
He thought for a while, opened the bottle of water, poured some water in, shook it vigorously, and cleaned the animal skin water bag.
After shaking for a while, he hesitated and drank the water used to clean the water bag, not daring to waste it at all.
This water... is a bit strange. It has a very faint smell of chemicals, and it doesn't feel like normal water.
But he didn't think much about it, because he knew that this was water synthesized from elements, and it was not surprising that it was different from normal water.
Next to them, Yaya and Tong Xiaorou watched eagerly, but did not speak.
"Pooh!"
Jiang Cheng spat out some wood residue again, then poured some more in, filling the water bag almost full, and then handed it to Tong Xiaorou and said with a smile: "I'll drink enough this time, but don't drink too fast when you go, you guys are too If you haven’t drank water for a long time, you could easily get hurt if you drink too much at once.”
"Yeah, thank you, thank you!"
Tong Xiaorou excitedly took the water bag filled with water and gave Yaya a sip first before taking a sip herself.
After a while, he gave Yaya another sip, and then took another sip for himself.
Because they are too thirsty and have been dehydrated for a long time, they dare not drink too much at once for fear that their bodies will not be able to bear it.
Jiang Cheng felt relieved when he saw this, and he also calmed down, and then he drank the bottled water fiercely.
After draining a pound of water in one gulp, he stopped with satisfaction.
Although I still want to drink more, it is enough now. If I drink any more, I will accumulate urine and it will be a waste.
"What a blessing."
Jiang Cheng sighed in his heart. He never thought that one day, just drinking water would bring happiness.
Seeing that Yaya and Tong Xiaorou were still taking turns drinking water, he hurriedly said: "Don't drink too much in a hurry, eat something first."
As he said that, he took out three pieces of barbecue and said happily: "One for each person, we are extravagant today."
