Eat without talking, sleep without talking...
The way the three of them were eating quietly made Chen Fei somewhat uncomfortable. He preferred the survival team's style of talking and laughing.
The staple food is not white rice, but rice mixed with half of the corn crumbs. This can save a lot of rice and increase the feeling of fullness.
Chen Fei used this time to enter the main interface of the zombie radar. From the related map function, Chen Fei found the map he had just scanned. It was a very detailed topographic map around Xiaosang Mountain.
Chen Fei couldn't help but feel happy. Since this method of quickly scanning the map was feasible, it would greatly reduce the difficulty of obtaining the map from Li Zhenbei.
He doesn't need Li Zhenbei to give him a map or a mobile phone with these maps, he just needs to take a quick look at it.
Chen Fei had these two achievements, and with some other conditions, it would not be too difficult to check the map.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei couldn't help but feel a little better...
Chen Fei and the others are eating here, and at this moment, most of the survivors in Xiaosang Mountain are fighting against hunger...
The feeling of hunger is a feeling that makes people despair and lose their mind. In the peaceful and prosperous times, people did not have a specific understanding of this feeling. Some people even went without eating for two or three days in order to lose weight.
However, when you actively skip meals for some reason and have nothing to eat, it will be a different situation!
In those hungry small villages in the early years, there would always be situations where the trees in the entire village had no bark, and they even ate dirt. Many people died because of this for that moment of fullness, and for them, death Or a relief.
What is even more exaggerated is the phenomenon of cannibalism. This is a taboo that most animals in the animal kingdom will not do because it is related to the continuation of the race and will lead to the extinction of the race.
However, a strong sense of hunger has the power to annihilate human nature, allowing those who are desperate to do this. This phenomenon will be most serious four or five months after the end of the world, because they are afraid, because they are afraid of death!
Within Xiao Sang’s safe zone…
Somewhere in the mountainous forest area that has not yet been expanded...
Due to the undulating terrain, this area is not suitable for living. If the safe zone is not overcrowded with survivors, the area here will always be empty.
Those dense woods themselves are also the most natural barriers. In winter, they can withstand the cold wind that weakens some mountains. It is for this reason that even if the woods here are straight and straight, no one will cut them down except for necessary reasons. .
This winter...many, many survivors are destined to die...
A skinny man in rags, holding a sharp wooden thorn in his hand, walked slowly and carefully through the mountain forest. The thick fallen leaves accumulated on the ground all year round swallowed up the man's footsteps, as if A man makes no sound at all when he walks.
The man's hair was dirty and messy. He hadn't washed his hair for more than two months and it looked like a mess of grass. Of course, men with such hair styles could be seen everywhere in the safe. No one would care about this. Except for food, the survivors in the outer area didn't care. Will care about other things.
The man's name is Geng Hao, he is an ordinary man among the survivors in the outer area. He is 31 years old and is a villager in a small village near Xiaosang Mountain.
The villagers in these villages and towns are relatively close to the tourist attraction Xiaosang Mountain Scenic Area, so many people in the village rely on Xiaosang Mountain Scenic Area to make a living and barely support their families. If they are lucky, they will become part of the tourist attraction. Although the jobs of our employees are not very clean or decent, they are valuable in terms of stability.
There are more villagers, because they have been close to Xiaosang Mountain Scenic Area since they were young, and the older generation has relied on the mountains. Even children in their early teens can run up the mountain without getting lost, and can even pick up a basket. mushrooms, fungus.
These days... wild mountain game is very popular among city people. Everyone pays attention to a natural and pollution-free nature. Therefore, men in the village like Geng Hao and others get up early every day to go to the mountains during the peak tourist season. We pick mushrooms and fungus in the mountains, and sometimes we also hunt game, pick some wild fruits and vegetables. The price per kilogram sold at the entrance of scenic spots is not cheap, but it is extremely popular among tourists! Demand exceeds supply!
These villagers in nearby villages can also make a living.
Geng Hao's village has a small population, with only more than 80 households. On the day the zombie virus broke out, Geng Hao was in Xu's wife's room at the west end of the village.
This little daughter-in-law Xu is considered half a widow in the village.
The reason why I say it is half is because her man is not dead. He will occasionally call home during the holidays. However, starting from the second year after marriage when he went to work, he has been with her for five years. I haven't been back home, I just send three to five hundred yuan home every month. If it weren't for the people in the village guarding Xiaosangshan Scenic Area to make a living, there would be no way to live on these three to five hundred yuan.
On the day when the zombie virus broke out, Geng Hao saw with his own eyes that Xu's daughter-in-law suddenly foamed at the mouth and rolled her eyes up. As her body twitched, her skin quickly turned gray, and the thin black lines were like living things. It crawled all over her skin.
Geng Hao was so frightened that he rushed out of Xu's wife's house with his clothes in his arms. The abnormality of this little wife was like a signal. The same scene was played out everywhere in the small village. After that, these people were like Like crazy, he bites everyone he sees. Many people who were bitten to death and had their stomachs eviscerated later went on to attack other people after they came back to life.
Geng Hao's mind went blank at that time, and he subconsciously fled into the mountains and forests, barely escaping. Later, when the army came, Geng Hao joined the safe zone.
Geng Hao was considered one of the first survivors in the Xiaosang Mountain Safety Zone. Although they were safe during that time and protected by soldiers holding guns, Geng Hao was tired to the point of despair every day in order to step up the construction of the safety zone wall. I can still have a few full meals.
After that, more and more survivors came to the safe zone, and there were more and more mouths to eat!
Geng Hao and the others went from having three full meals a day to two, and then from two full meals a day to only being half full after two meals, and then to only one full meal a day.
Geng Hao felt like an animal working day and night, just like the mule pulling the cart, so when the two full meals were reduced, Geng Hao stopped going.
Relying on his familiarity with the mountains, Geng Hao can find wild fruits, wild vegetables, mushrooms and fungus to satisfy his hunger every day. Occasionally, he can also catch mountain worms and mountain mice to eat meat. On the contrary, he is more comfortable than being a worker. many.
Over time, Geng Hao was targeted by some survivors who also did not want to work as coolies. His ability to rely on people to survive was also known to everyone. More and more people followed Geng Hao. Although they did not directly rob Geng Hao. The food I found was because I learned how to find food in the mountains and forests every day following Geng Hao.
Good times don't last long....
There are more wolves and less meat. As more and more survivors join in who don’t want to work, the mushrooms and wild vegetables picked up are getting less and less!
These survivors are not like Geng Hao, who only picks up two-thirds of the mushrooms and fungus they encounter. These people's eyes are green with hunger, and they want to dig three feet into the ground. Over time, even the mountains will be eaten by these survivors like locusts. All naked.
Geng Hao could only rely on his knowledge of some tricks for catching wild game to barely fill his stomach. When he returned to the settlement every day, he had to pretend that he had found nothing.
In the past three days, Geng Hao didn't even see a mountain mouse or a small snake.
With his eyes turning green from hunger, Geng Hao almost ate the bark of the tree. Fortunately, he hid a few pieces of dried meat in many places, so that he would not really be exhausted.
In three days, Geng Hao only ate a piece of dried snake meat as long as his index finger. He was so hungry that he probably didn't even have the strength to growl anymore. This state made him work as a coolie, and he was afraid that he would die from exhaustion in just half a day. So Geng Hao could only bite the bullet and continue to try his luck in the woods here.
Geng Hao was panting from exhaustion just after walking two hundred meters, his eyes blurred. He sat on a tree stump and panted heavily. Hunger made his physical strength like a candle in the wind. Even if a hare ran by now , I'm afraid I don't have the strength to chase.
It’s a vicious cycle, without enough energy there’s no way to find food, and without food there’s not enough energy…
