After lunch, Yang Xiao walked around for a while. No one else had entered the mountain forest yet. He was still safe for the time being. After all, there was no food on the mountain, and everyone generally would not choose to take refuge in the mountain.
After a brief activity, Yang Xiao returned to the big rock and took a nap.
Although he tried his best to control his biological clock, Bai's sleep was still intermittent. He usually woke up three or four times in the middle, and it was impossible for Bai to sleep soundly throughout.
Today is the third day after the catastrophe. People at the foot of the mountain are beginning to become restless. Many people have no food and water. They have searched everywhere they can inside and outside the academy. Most of the food has been covered up by collapsed buildings. After all, what can be found is limited.
Because a large number of corpses were buried in the collapsed ruins, they began to rot and emit a smell after three days, which also made searching for food in the ruins a painful task.
There is no water in the tap water pipes. There are several lakes in the college. However, the water in them is very dirty. It is usually green and has a rotten smell. This kind of water cannot be drunk.
Once a modern city encounters a catastrophe, the fragile ecosystem will immediately show its fatal weakness.
More importantly, in the third catastrophe, everyone still has not waited for the government's rescue team. This has disappointed everyone's hopes and is a torture to everyone.
A sense of fear began to haunt everyone.
If you are in a rural area, you may be able to find relatively clean rivers and vegetables and fruits in the fields.
Some students began to discuss setting off to villages outside the city in search of food and water.
A few students had doubts and went to the gene store to ask Gubo.
"Mr. Gubo, is it true that your genes will mutate in the Earth's organisms after seven days?"
"Haha, of course it's true. Today is the third. We'll see you in four more. The question is, can you survive to the seventh?"
Gu Bo spoke in a relaxed tone, as if all this had nothing to do with him and he was just a spectator.
So far, the Gene Store has not done anything to help anyone. The two samurai at the door stand 24 hours a day without feeling tired at all.
The door of the gene store is also open 24 hours a day. Anyone can enter the store. The old man Gubo usually chats with everyone casually and has a kind attitude. Of course, his most important thing is about gene fragments and telling everyone about the earth. How to hunt wild beasts after biological gene mutation, obtain gene fragments and sell them to him.
In everyone's opinion, Gubo is here specifically to acquire gene fragments. As for what gene fragments are, no one has any idea at present.
Dozens of students teamed up to leave the college and set out for villages dozens of kilometers away to find a new way out.
Food snatchings began to occur frequently, each time accompanied by bloody conflicts.
Those girls who had no food and no organization, suffered from hunger, and some of them began to succumb to some evil boys, exchanging their bodies for a bottle of water or a pack of biscuits.
Xiao Zhe's team of more than 100 people was powerful and had sufficient food and water. People kept begging Xiao Zhe to take them in, but Xiao Zhe refused directly.
Qin Yu, a junior girl in the Department of Finance and a well-known campus beauty in the entire college, is currently in Xiao Zhe's team.
"Xiao Zhe, they are so pitiful. We still have a lot of food, so let's give some to them."
Xiao Zhe has always been Qin Yu's pursuer. This catastrophe is an excellent opportunity for him. Of course, survival is far more important than love. What's more, if Xiao Zhe wants a woman now, he will get married every minute. matter.
Last night, he took a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits and fell in love with a pretty girl.
"Haha, Qin Yu, our food is limited. Even though we have collected a lot of food, there are more than 150 of us, and we consume a lot every time. Besides, who knows how long we will have to hold on. ?Do you know when the government’s rescue team will arrive?”
Xiao Zhe's words immediately received responses from his companions.
For their own survival, most people expressed their opposition to those outside the relief ranks.
Qin Yu was a little excited and said:
"Are we just going to watch our former classmates die like this? And those girls, didn't you see them being bullied by those gangster boys?"
"Qin Yu, what I can do now is to protect you and all of us. I can't control others so much. Our abilities are limited."
Qin Yu was helpless. She knew that she could not convince Xiao Zhe. Even if she did, the rest of the team would not agree.
Outside the dividing line between Xiao Zhe's temporary camp, dozens of girls looked at Xiao Zhe and the others eagerly, with pleading eyes.
Qin Yu felt soft and took out half a pack of biscuits and half a bottle of water from his backpack, walked outside the venue and handed them to a familiar girl, her classmate Huang Wen.
"Huang Wen, take it, I can only help you with this."
Huang Wen didn't eat or drink since yesterday afternoon. She took Qin Yu's food and immediately stuffed two biscuits into her mouth. She ate too quickly and choked, so she quickly drank two mouthfuls of water.
Beside Huang Wen, dozens of pairs of eyes were eagerly staring at the food in her hand.
Huang Wen hesitated for a moment, then broke the biscuits into pieces one by one and distributed them to a dozen girls around her.
These girls are all mediocre-looking girls, and no man would be willing to give up his food for them. Headed by Huang Wen, they formed a temporary team, hugging each other for warmth, and determined not to bow to those evil boys.
Huang Wen handed the remaining water to everyone.
"One bite per person."
Everyone passed the water bottle around silently, and everyone wanted to drink it all in one gulp. However, no one did so. They only took a sip to moisten their throats.
"Qin Yu, thank you!"
Huang Wen said.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you much. From now on, I will leave half of the food for you, and you can come and get it from me."
With tears in her eyes, Huang Wen nodded, turned around and walked away with a group of sisters.
A young man took a fancy to one of the busty girls and walked over and patted her shoulder gently.
"Sister Chen Fei, half a bottle of water and half a box of biscuits. If you need it, come find me in the evening."
"you?"
The girl named Chen Fei looked angry and shy, not knowing how to answer.
"Hu Peng, you stinky gangster, if you don't want to be shameless, you just know how to bully us girls."
Huang Wen shouted angrily, holding Chen Fei's hand.
"Feifei, let's go and ignore these scum!"
Hu Peng chuckled and said:
"Chen Fei, please don't give you a chance. You are still worth half a bottle of water and half a box of biscuits now. But tomorrow, you will only be worth half a box of biscuits."
The less food there is, the more precious it is.
Huang Wen spit out phlegm and pulled Chen Fei away.
"Sisters, we must stick to our inner beliefs and never bow to these gangsters. We must save ourselves."
"Sister Huang Wen, how can we save ourselves?"
someone asked.
"It's hard to find food, but you can still find water. There is a pool at the foot of Yueshan Mountain. We bring a pot that can boil water, go to the pool and boil the water, and we will have water to drink."
Huang Wen's words reminded many people. Everyone remembered that there was a pool at the foot of Yue Mountain. It was small in size and the water quality was okay. Everyone had a picnic by the pool before. As long as the water was boiled, it was ready to drink.
"What about the food?"
"Well, now I can only go to the mountains to look for wild fruits or vegetables."
"Sister Huang Wen, it's autumn now. There should be no wild vegetables. As for wild fruits, there seems to be no wild fruits in this mountain."
"Then eating leaves, grass roots, it's better than waiting to die here."
Huang Wen said angrily.
"But, old man Gubo from the gene store, creatures will mutate after seven years. There are many animals on the mountain, so it must be unsafe!"
When everyone heard this, they were surprised again and fell into silence.
Huang Wen finally had no choice but to say:
"Then let's go to the waterhole to boil some water first. Everyone go pick up some empty water bottles. Having water is better than having no water at all."
Everyone finally reached a consensus, found two iron basins in the ruins, and found two lighters. A dozen girls bravely went to the water pool at the foot of Mount Yue.
