Chapter 17: For mushrooms! No, for meat!
"The seventh team is about to be expelled. The collection team is ready to go to recycle materials. Please pay attention to pollution prevention and control."
In the simple collection hut, more than ten people sat on the ground. The ground was made of wooden boards made of logs. The hut was also made of such wooden boards. It smelled the fragrance of trees. Among the more than ten people present, two of them kept watching the time on the instrument.
"Fuck it, I've been delayed for nearly twenty minutes. I don't know what happened to Mushroom." Several of them muttered in a low voice, looking angry.
After hearing this, a person next to him turned around and smiled bitterly, "It's just mushrooms. We are a hunting group. Because we have been chasing a group of crocodiles, we came to the hut of your collection group to avoid it for a while. Now we have to continue tracking the group of crocodiles. This has been delayed for a long time. God knows whether the task can be completed today."
The people were stunned for a moment, and one of them said unconvincedly when young, "Although there are many mushrooms in this primeval forest, they will soon fall off. If you don't pick them quickly and process them and dry them, the harvest of mushrooms will be at least 30% less. Moreover, compared with your hunting team, our plant collection team, especially mushrooms like us, the task of the fruit collection team is much heavier. If the warriors had not signed up for the hunting team, would you think we wanted to stay in the plant collection team?"
The man was embarrassed just now. Yes, compared to carnivore, the most heavy daily task indicators must be the plant collection team. After all, hunting depends on the gathering of animals. In this primeval forest, plant resources are almost inexhaustible. It is obvious who is light and who is heavy. However, he actually just wanted to make a statement. He was hit by a boy and his face didn't look very good.
The few people next to him could see clearly, and one of them immediately said, "Speaking of all, how many food collection teams are there? As far as I know, they are divided into three major categories, plant collection team, hunting team, and fishing team. Are there any other minor categories in each major category?"
Just now, this person didn't want to have any conflicts with a young man. He took over the topic and said, "Why didn't there? As far as I know, there are four small categories in the hunting group, large terrestrial animal hunting. Yesterday I saw a large terrestrial animal hunting group composed of internal force realm. They hunted some unique beasts in this small world, three more than ten meters long and four or five meters high, each weighing more than 40 tons. That is the real behemoth, and the carnivore is full of weight. In addition to this, there are also large aquatic animal hunting. This is the hunting group I belong to. However, there seems to be no too huge creatures in the water of this small world. The largest one is crocodiles, but this forest river is not very big. If there are big lakes and rivers in other places, there may be big creatures."
"There are also terrestrial medium-sized biological hunting groups and terrestrial small animal hunting groups. The former is hunting similar to the cat family, canine family, cattle and horse, and the latter is rabbits, rats, etc."
At this time, several people around also talked about it, and another person said, "We are all collection teams. I learned about the situation before. The collection team is not only collecting plants, but also insects and insect products are also collected. For example, some edible insects, especially high-protein edible insects, may be disgusting to eat it like this, but after cooking or processing the protein is much higher than meat. The taste is also good. This collection team seems to collect honey and other things, as well as fruit collection teams. If we encounter other edible plants, they will also collect them when there are many. There is no clear dividing line. There is also tubers collection, wild vegetable collection, etc., which are the same as us. The only collection team with boundaries is the seasoning and herbal collection team. They only focus on searching for natural seasoning plants and herbal plants. Others have seen it and posted a location report at most."
"The division of labor is so detailed." The young man murmured to himself, and he suddenly asked curiously again: "Where is the fishing team? Is there any classification?"
At this time, before the others had time to speak, they kept watching the time. The two teams commanded by the ship suddenly turned around and looked at everyone and said, "The invasion and expulsion were made, and they immediately returned to their posts. They have been delayed for more than half an hour. There are still many tasks today. Everyone is cheering up. The restaurant in the ship has already spoken, eat fish and bone meat tonight, eat whatever they want!"
Everyone cheered, and then the two groups said goodbye to their own collection and hunting areas.
Food is so precious. There is no food in the Western Asia continent. People who came to the small world were also saving and saving at the beginning. Even if they hunted meat on the first day of the arrival, they were all frozen and dared not eat it. What they were afraid of was that the harvest in this small world was not enough. Then these foods were the life-saving food for everyone in the Western Asia continent. Until these days, the harvest was as much as ten every day, and the meat exceeded the expected amount at the beginning, so the restrictions were gradually relaxed. People who had been half full and half hungry for several months, especially the daily ration system, would be good to eat, and there was basically no meat and oil. Now, eating meat every day is their happiest time.
The mushroom-collecting team was closer to their previous collection site, which was deep in a half-swamp jungle, with trees as dense as night. Although it was not enough to see five fingers, it was really hard to see inside without lighting equipment.
In such a humid and semi-black environment, various fungi grew lushly. Just now, the group found a large group of blood-red mushrooms. This brightly colored mushroom seemed to be highly toxic, but in previous tests, this mushroom was not toxic. On the contrary, the taste was extremely delicious. It was a natural condiment and was considered the best mushroom in this collection site.
However, this blood-red mushroom has extremely high requirements for the growth environment, and every time it grows, it will wither at most two or three hours. Once it withers, it will be toxic. Therefore, it is really lucky to be able to collect this mushroom. Today, this group is lucky. After collecting this kind of precious mushroom, which is both food and seasoning, a large part of the task share depends on this mushroom.
Everyone went to the blood-red mushroom collection site with great enthusiasm, but when they entered the scene, everyone was stunned. After a long time, one of them suddenly threw something on the ground, and the others began to curse, and everyone was angry for a moment.
These blood-red mushrooms have withered, and it is not that the normal time has come, but withered with a dark aura that can be seen by the naked eye. They are so familiar with this. They have seen at least five or six cases in the past two days, but the losses before are not as great as this time. This is... the curse breath brought by the indigenous people in this small world. Such food can no longer be eaten. Those who eat it will be weak and weak, and people with weak bodies may die suddenly.
"Damn it! Our mushrooms!" The young people in the team seemed to have tears in their eyes and roared loudly, while the people around them were speechless and there was no conversation for a while.
The same situation also happened on a river far away. After being separated from the collection team, they went down the river and used instruments to monitor the heat traces along the way. After a while, as the river turned around, they came to a relatively gentle place in the river. Looking around, they saw more than ten crocodiles of different sizes floating on the river. The largest one was five meters long, which was considered a giant, and the small one was more than two meters long. This group of crocodiles were the prey they had tracked for most of the day today. As long as they hunted, they could complete their share today. Moreover, the meat of the crocodiles was delicious, and they were also considered a top-notch object among the hunting species.
But the crocodiles in front of them floated on the surface of the river, and everyone was confused. The team leader of the team, a person from the Ancestral Rebate Realm, jumped up and jumped to the largest crocodile on the river surface, and then lifted it up with one hand and threw it to the shore. Everyone ran over and turned to the front and saw that everyone was stunned and stunned.
The crocodile's crocodile armor surface was covered with a hint of darkness, which penetrated from the inside out. When looking at its eyes, it also had a dark aura in its eyes. Everyone knew what was happening. The indigenous people of this small world invaded within 300 kilometers and brought the curse breath. The crocodile meat was so edible. More than ten crocodiles were piled up here, enough for hundreds of people to have a good meal of meat, and now they are all in ruins.
"Our meat...our meat." Everyone sighed, but they were helpless.
The same situation occurred in various hunting points, gathering points, and fishing points within 300 kilometers. Today's hunting harvest is more than 30% less than expected. Every group encountered has resentment, and such resentment is also passed on to the people in the ship and other group members...
Why, we just want food and water, why can't we?
And that night, everyone's eyes began to look at the highest person in the leadership...
Hao Qi, what exactly does he want to do? Don’t kill people, just drive away... These indigenous people from the small world will not give up!
