I don’t know how long it took, but the aroma of cooked food drifted into the cave.
Morris' thin figure appeared again, but he was holding a container with freshly cooked food in it.
"Sir, you must be very hungry. Eat quickly!"
Morris smelled the aroma of the food and tried very hard not to drool. Then he respectfully brought the food to Tang Zhen and said carefully.
"I have food for myself, you'd better take it back and eat it with the others."
Glancing at the food in the container, it was obvious that Morris had given him the best part. Unfortunately, the cooking techniques of the abandoned people were really bad, and Tang Zhen really had no appetite now, so he declined Morris with a smile.
"Sir, you're injured, you'd better eat quickly. We still have a lot, enough for everyone to fill their stomachs!"
When Morris saw Tang Zhen refusing to eat, he thought he was worried about not having enough food, so he tried to persuade him again.
This is actually a lie. Even though they had just received a lot of food, the abandoned people still did not dare to waste it. It was just a little more than usual.
Accustomed to living a hard life, the abandoned people have long since learned to plan carefully and will never eat too much.
"Okay, no need to persuade me anymore, just eat it quickly!"
Tang Zhen waved his hand and asked Morris to take the food out, and then he closed his eyes and rested his mind again.
Outside the cave entrance, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time. Delicious food and sufficient reserves made Morris and his companions extremely happy.
For Tang Zhen, who brought them all this, the abandoned people were full of awe and gratitude, and would never enter the cave to disturb his rest when nothing happened.
In the next two days, since Morris and others had enough food, they no longer went out to search. Instead, they tried their best to carry stones and soil and built a stone wall in front of the cave entrance.
Because there are extremely dark days every year, these stones are gradually accumulated, and the abandoned people only need to carry them when they are used.
There is no rules for how the stones are stacked, they are just piled up randomly. Who knows if the stone will collapse when it reaches the desired height?
Tang Zhen estimated that the reason why these abandoned people labored to build bricks once a year was because the stone walls they built were too loose and had only a very short lifespan.
While Morris and others were actively working, the other two groups of abandoned people on the opposite side of the pit were also doing the same work.
Seeing the performance of Morris and others, these neighbors seemed very curious, and they didn't know why they always had smiles on their faces.
Under normal circumstances, they should be as sad as themselves, right?
Especially in the past two days, there has been an alluring aroma wafting from the place where Morris and the others live. You don't have to guess, it is definitely food they have never eaten before!
Living next to each other, their living conditions are similar, and even the sources of food are similar.
It is for this reason that they are very curious, wondering where Morris and others got this food from?
Perhaps they had an unexpected harvest in the garbage mountain and picked up food discarded by citizens, but it was missed during the screening process.
This is the only reasonable explanation, otherwise unless it is created out of thin air!
The other two groups of abandoned people didn't know that this seemingly absurd possibility was the closest to the truth!
In fact, the other two groups of abandoned people had already known about Tang Zhen's existence, but they had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, because Morris's behavior of "picking people up" had happened more than once.
Even because of this incident, the two groups of abandoned people laughed at Morris many times, thinking that there was something wrong with the neighbor's head, and he would waste precious food for these strangers!
It's just that they never dreamed that it was because of Morris's "stupid" behavior that they could get enough food and possibly change their destiny!
In the blink of an eye, the extremely dark day arrived, and Morris and others finally completed the last step of the work and sealed the entrance to the cave they lived in.
Even in order to prevent the radiation mutant monsters from destroying the water source, the three groups of abandoned people cooperated with each other and temporarily covered the location of the spring with stones. This way, even if the radiation mutant monsters were discovered, they would not be able to remove the piled stones in a short time.
After everything was prepared, people began to stay quietly in the cave after the night passed, staring blankly.
The arrival of the extremely dark day means that the sun will not rise today, there will be almost no light outside, and it will be completely dark.
On special days like this, the radiation-mutated monsters will go crazy at the same time. They will scatter from their entrenched territory, their whole bodies will glow with fluorescent lights, and they will try to attack all normal creatures they encounter.
Because of the existence of these monsters, many surviving creatures were destroyed and completely disappeared from the world!
In a corner of the cave, Tang Zhen checked the progress of the search for plane coordinates. After confirming that there was still no progress, he turned to look at Jim and others.
They were sitting together at this time, using the light released by the fire, trying to dismantle the damaged micro-robot into a pile of parts, and then pick out some parts to make weapons.
It was said to be a micro-robot, but it was only thirty centimeters in size. However, because it was spliced extremely tightly, the disassembly process was quite laborious. After a while, Uncle Jim and others were sweating profusely.
But except for one micro-robot that was seriously damaged before and was dismantled, the rest were still intact after being fiddled with for a long time!
Jim and others were at a loss, feeling like a dog biting a turtle but unable to do anything.
"Maurice, show it to me."
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, Morris immediately picked up a damaged micro-robot and carefully handed it into Tang Zhen's hands.
When Uncle Jim and others saw this, they also looked at Tang Zhen, expecting him to help take it apart.
Putting the micro-robot in his hand, Tang Zhen observed it carefully and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He stretched out his finger and flicked it at a certain position, and then heard a soft sound, and a screw-like object fell from the shell of the micro-robot.
Then Tang Zhen's palm shook slightly, and the micro-robot that had left Jim and others helpless turned into a pile of parts!
Jim and others were stunned by this scene. They looked at each other, picked up a micro robot from the ground, and then imitated Tang Zhen and tried to dismantle it.
"You don't need to do this, because there are actually not many metal components in it. Even after it is dismantled, it can only be made into a dagger!"
Upon seeing this, Tang Zhen explained, but Uncle Jim and others just smiled honestly and continued to study with their heads down.
Morris sat aside and saw that Tang Zhen seemed to be confused about this, so he explained in a low voice: "Sir, among us, only Uncle Jim has a metal machete, and most of the other weapons are made of stone.
, so everyone hopes to have another one.
In this way, whether it is snatching garbage or entering the monster city to obtain seeds, you will be more confident!"
Tang Zhen nodded. In the past two days, he had a deeper understanding of the world and how difficult it was to obtain metal.
But even so, he did not directly give weapons to Morris and others. Maybe he would give a few in the future, but definitely not under the current situation.
Compared with ordinary cold weapons, the magic weapon equipment Tang Zhen stored is not only extremely valuable, but also has special attributes. It can definitely be called a magic weapon in this world!
Once the enemy knows about it and tries to rob it, it will bring disaster to Morris and others. Tang Zhen has seen too many similar things, so naturally Tang Zhen will not do this!
But there is no problem in giving them one or two ordinary cold weapons.
