In a gathering place, there will inevitably be some families who have insufficient food reserves. They are short of food and have to go out to look for it.
However, the survivors who had fled here from the parking lot formed a group and squatted on the outside, specifically watching the small teams coming in and out to rob supplies. Small-scale firefights occurred from time to time, and the number of injured people was naturally increasing day by day.
The consumption of drugs is increasing day by day.
At the same time, chaos began to occur inside the gathering place, and break-ins and thefts occurred frequently. It is unclear whether it was external forces sneaking in at night, or internal acquaintances committing the crimes.
The situation is getting increasingly serious.
It was another eight days, after Lin Xiaoman cultivated her blue mint and ate it for practice, Zhang Yashan brought back good news this day.
Obviously, it was because there were no supplies, and the bullets for the guns were one less. In addition, it was easy to be attacked by strange animals when staying out at night. The powerful people at the parking lot also knew that if they did not stick together, they would die sooner.
The forces in the parking lot sent out a signal for peace, and the leaders of the gathering place, who were overwhelmed by the disturbance, held a meeting and decided to turn the hostility into friendship.
We are all human beings. In a harsh environment, we should help each other and win and benefit each other, instead of holding each other back.
Therefore, after discussion among the bosses, the parking lot forces joined the gathering place. At the same time, considering safety issues and food issues, the two sides discussed a plan to exchange guns and bullets for food.
Both parties accepted it without objection.
In other words, those who have surplus food in the gathering place can now exchange food for weapons.
Zhang Yashan meant to take advantage of this opportunity to use some firepower to defend himself. Although he had two guns at home, they didn't have many bullets. Moreover, he didn't know what the situation would be in the future. Without force, he might not be able to hold on to food.
Only with strong force can we have the right to speak.
The plan to exchange part of the food for weapons was quickly adopted.
Later, Zhang Yashan talked about the reform of the gathering area system. Due to the shortage of food, the bosses decided to implement militarized management and compulsorily form a hunting team. All combatants in the gathering area must join the hunting team.
The old, weak, women and children must also participate in training to improve their force. Although they are not immediately arranged to join the hunting team, they must obey the organization's arrangements and carry out simple sentry, collection, and production work.
To put it simply, the management of the gathering place has become stricter, with unified scheduling and arrangements, and at the same time ensuring unified distribution, trying our best to ensure that everyone can survive.
If someone doesn't want to participate, then that's fine. If you don't want to, just go alone. Don't expect a large army to take care of you in the future.
Under severe living conditions, of course, the survival rate is higher if you stay in groups to keep warm, so Zhang Yashan has no objections to this system, and Zhang Peiwen and Lin Xiaoman certainly have no objections either.
Not afraid of 10,000, but afraid of the worst, and deeply afraid that someone might try to steal their food, Zhang Yashan took out a third of the food and exchanged it for two bombs and three boxes of bullets.
Bombs are absolutely full of deterrence. Zhang Yashan's original intention was that Lin Xiaoman and Zhang Peiwen should keep one for themselves, and it could also deter Xiaoxiao. After all, they are not Star Coins. It is impossible for everyone to like them. After all, there are some
There is no harmony with the old Zhang family.
"No, no, dad, you can deal with emergencies by yourself." Regarding this bomb, Lin Xiaoman waved his hand and refused, and at the same time dropped a bombshell, "I have successfully gathered spirits, and I am a spiritual master!"
Zhang Yashan/Zhang Peiwen:!!
The two people who were shocked by Lin Xiaoman immediately became ecstatic after being shocked. Spiritual masters! Being promoted to spiritual masters means being extraordinary and transcendent, and they no longer belong to the category of ordinary people!
The two of them were so excited that it was beyond words.
The golden finger must not be leaked. Lin Xiaoman made up a white lie and briefly told the process of successfully gathering spirits after eating the golden fruit. He also carefully confessed that he currently has no fighting power. At best, he can only scare people, so this
Things should be kept confidential.
Zhang Yashan and Zhang Peiwen, at their age, certainly know the saying, "A tree that is as beautiful as the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Naturally, they will not spread it everywhere like fools.
After confessing to the spiritual master, Lin Xiaoman used the remaining golden fruit to make a fruit paste, secretly added a drop of spiritual liquid, and guided the two to gather spirits.
Unfortunately, even with the bonus effect of the spiritual liquid, Zhang Yashan and Zhang Peiwen were completely unable to reach the threshold.
Both of them agreed that they had no talent and that she would practice well by herself so that they would not waste spiritual food. Zhang Yashan even asked if they should exchange food for golden fruits?
There must still be some part of other people's golden fruits.
Lin Xiaoman immediately rejected this proposal. If you exchange food for weapons, others will not be suspicious, but if you exchange food for golden fruit, it will definitely arouse people's suspicion! What's more, the effect of golden fruit is not as good as growing herbal medicine, so the gain outweighs the loss.
After hearing Lin Xiaoman's explanation that "the effect of golden fruit is not much different from that of his own cultivation", Zhang Yashan gave up.
Then, about three days later, new regulations were issued in the gathering area, and the hunting system in turns was enacted.
Zhang Yashan is a hunter without exception. Because he can form a team freely, Zhang Yashan went to find his teammates early in the morning and quickly formed a hunting team with a standard number of people.
Lin Xiaoman and Zhang Peiwen were of course logistics medical personnel, and their small clinic in Zhang's family became one of the officially designated medical points.
In addition to the compulsory daily work of taking care of the wounded, Lin Xiaoman's life is still about practicing every day, breaking out and cheating at the same time.
At first, Lin Xiaoman was quite worried about Zhang Yashan's safety, but after going with the hunting team a few times under the pretext of 'gathering herbs', she felt relieved.
Human wisdom is miles ahead of alien beasts.
There are definitely abundant resources in the forest, and there are also many strange beasts. Dig a hole and set a trap, and prey will be delivered to your door.
The purpose of hunting exotic animals is clear. The hunting team will not go deep into the forest but use the smell of blood to trap the exotic animals in the edge areas, lure the exotic animals out and introduce them into the trapped area, and then take advantage of the strength of the people.
The hunting operation was very successful.
Although there were occasional casualties, the death rate was very low. With Zhang Yashan's skill and experience, Lin Xiaoman believed that as long as he did not seek death, he would not die.
However, what Lin Xiaoman had to complain about was that the meat of the strange beasts in this forest was really unpalatable.
The taste is probably that of unprocessed pig intestines, fish that has been dead for a few days, and it is as sour as lemon... In short, the taste is very difficult to describe, even if it is boiled in water for several hours, it is difficult to swallow.
Alas, survival is not easy.
As someone who comes from a foodie empire, Lin Xiaoman is really ashamed. A good woman can't make a meal without rice. Without seasoning, she really can't improve the food.
Let's make do with it like this. Just be able to eat and not starve to death.
