Cars, dilapidated tents and even houses surrounded by wooden boards and rags plus a few simple wooden fences outside can be regarded as a gathering place, and depending on the situation, the number of people here will not exceed twenty.
Seeing this, Wu Ming shook his head secretly. If there were more than twenty spiny rats or six or seven insect men attacking, this small gathering place could be completely wiped out.
It's not even easy to describe it as small. Wu Ming felt that this was just a micro-gathering place with almost no defense force.
At this moment, there were only two or three children playing in the gathering place, and a few women were picking and washing some unknown tree roots dug out from the wild, which could be eaten after being boiled.
The penetration of vitality not only affects humans and living things, but also plants. It is said that many plants have mutated to a greater or lesser extent. Just like this kind of tree root, it was inedible before, but now it looks like
It is a somewhat hard sweet potato. Although it tastes a little bit hard to bite and bitter, it is at least edible.
The four spiny-haired mice could obviously add food to this gathering place, and soon Wu Ming discovered a very helpless thing. Perhaps because he was a stranger, he was being chased by several curious children.
Looking at them, these children are not very old. The oldest is only five or six years old, and the youngest is three or four years old. It is the time when they are innocent and romantic.
For them, disasters are not the most important thing. They cannot see the sorrow and fear of adults, only innocence.
Those women were quite friendly. In addition to a few women, there were also three or two young adults. Only one of them held a pistol, and the others just held long knives and axes. When they saw Guo Yuqiang, they hurried over to help. Soon
Quickly, they skinned and furled the four spiny-haired mice, removed their internal organs, washed them, chopped them into pieces of meat, and set them aside.
Guo Yuqiang told Wu Ming that in addition to the current people, some people also went out hunting and should be back before dark.
Sure enough, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, six or seven men came back from the wild, including young men in their twenties and old men in their fifties. They each took some prey, but their harvests were average.
Obviously, these are all members of this small gathering place. Guo Yuqiang first communicated with them and then called Wu Ming over during dinner.
Wu Ming had nothing to do with this. He didn't plan to stay here longer. It would be good to find out the news about Li Xia and the others. If he couldn't find out the news, Wu Ming planned to continue searching. The only difference was that he would at least sleep here for a while.
It's more comfortable than being alone in the wild.
Sure enough, when Wu Ming asked, no one knew the whereabouts of the people who escaped from Yucheng, and Wu Ming's heart sank.
At this time, an old man who was about fifty years old, but his face was already full of wrinkles, said: "Young people, it doesn't matter that we don't know. There are many small gathering places like ours nearby, and more than ten miles away
There is also a larger gathering place with many people and walls. Maybe the person you are looking for is there. Alas, we also plan to save enough money early to enter that big gathering place, but it is just like buying a house.
We couldn't afford it before the disaster, and we didn't expect that after the disaster, we couldn't afford to live in a safe large gathering place, or we would suffer for the rest of our lives!"
As the old man spoke, he even cursed.
Wu Ming could see that although this old man was old, he should have done hard work for half his life, so his body and bones were extremely strong. Among the more than twenty people, he was also the one with the most potential for awakening. The amount of vitality in his body had reached eighteen units.
At this rate, he will be able to awaken in a month or two at most.
The old man's words made Wu Ming smile lightly. Wu Ming also knew that maybe he still wouldn't be able to find out the news next time, but at least there was hope.
Others seemed to see that this young man named Wu Ming didn't like to talk much. He kept chatting without saying a word. Soon the women mixed a large pot of meat with edible tree roots and thorn-haired rat meat.
When the soup was brought over, everyone immediately licked their tongues and each took a bowl.
Knowing that three of the mice were killed by Wu Ming, they gave Wu Ming the biggest bowl.
Looking at the steaming and fragrant broth, Wu Ming also swallowed his saliva.
He was not short of food, and he still had a lot of delicious bread cards, but no matter how delicious the delicious bread was, Wu Ming felt a little nauseous after eating it for almost three months. So when he saw this bowl of broth, Wu Ming also felt a little big.
move.
Of course, spiny-haired rats are omnivores. They may eat human flesh, but they also eat grains and roots of plants. In addition, no one cares about anything in this world right now, so they just eat. As for whether these rats have ever eaten human flesh?
Thoughts are automatically filtered.
The same goes for Wu Ming.
In order to survive in his last life, Wu Ming could be said to have eaten everything except human flesh. Although his situation is much better now, he is not picky about food. Wu Ming has never seen anyone who is picky about food in the apocalypse.
Soon, he had finished the bowl of steaming broth. It must be said that the women here are very good at their craftsmanship and are good at running a household. They even found some other ways to use it in a short period of time.
Mutated plants were used as condiments. To Wu Ming, this bowl looked like mutton soup. Of course, it would be better if some white and soft vermicelli could be put in it.
Others also had one bowl per person. Wu Ming noticed that at most half of the rat's meat was cooked in this pot, and the other meat was wrapped. Later, Wu Ming learned that in larger gathering places, there would be a special purpose for purchasing this kind of rat.
Where the meat is, you can exchange it for some other biological materials, and of course the most important bullets.
Nowadays, the importance of firearms and bullets to people is self-evident. Guo Yuqiang and his group of more than 20 people have a total of four guns, including a pistol and a shotgun. It can be said that without these four guns, they would have no ability at all.
Survive in this environment. Even encountering one or two spiny-haired rats may kill them all.
After seeing Wu Ming finish eating, an enthusiastic elder sister served Wu Ming another bowl.
Wu Ming could see clearly that it was the last bowl in the pot. Everyone else had one bowl per person, and the children's bowls were smaller. This was obviously to take care of himself.
Several children had already drank up all the broth in the bowl, and even licked the bottom of the bowl clean. At this moment, they all stared at the last bowl of meat porridge in Wu Ming's hand with wide eyes and some envy.
Keep licking your mouth.
If it was before the disaster, they would have had enough food and clothing and be full of happiness at this age, but now they have to endure hunger every day.
Wu Ming knows that feeling, it can be said to be a kind of torture.
After thinking about it, Wu Ming called several children over, including Guo Hao, and then divided the bowl of meat porridge among them.
The children were naturally excited. A little girl who was only four or five years old said cheerfully: "Thank you, uncle!"
After saying that, he quickly took back the little meat porridge in the bowl like a treasure.
Wu Ming didn't know that his behavior made Guo Yuqiang and the others have a great impression of him. At this time, Guo Yuqiang came over and said: "Wu Ming, tomorrow we plan to go to a nearby gathering place to exchange some things. You will also go there.
If there are many people, we might be able to get news about your friends and them!"
