"By the way, I have a companion here, do you mind?"
Seeing that the cooperation had been negotiated, Lu Tan said again.
"Don't mind."
Iron Fist responded, as if he had expected it.
In the wilderness, although other people may be enemies, few people actually act completely alone. If they are alone, they may die because of some minor troubles and injuries because they cannot get help. Therefore, most people
All wilderness hunters travel in groups of at least two.
In the apocalypse where humanity has been annihilated, trust has become people's strongest weapon.
And like Iron Fist, wasteland hunters with city-states as the core have taken group combat to the extreme. Unless they encounter some particularly powerful monsters, such a team will run rampant in the wasteland.
Lu Tan called out, and Xia, who was hiding in the shadows, also came out.
Obviously, women are rare in the wilderness, let alone a neat and tidy girl like her.
Someone whistled, but quickly restrained himself under Iron Fist's eyes.
Under the current circumstances, it was the best choice for him and Shia to give priority to following this group of people into the underground exploration of the ruins. However, Lu Tiao did not feel that these people were truly trustworthy because they had a deeper understanding of the ruins and seemed to
They are actively looking for them. In this case, these people may be followers of some evil god and have bad intentions.
"This is my companion, you can call her Mage."
Lu Tan made an introduction and then said.
"There's one more thing, it's very important."
Hearing Lu Jian's words, Tie Fist's face became serious.
"Please tell me."
Since we could see the saint's remains, it meant that this person was not simple, and Iron Fist's tone became more respectful.
Maybe Lu Jian saw some monster that ordinary people couldn't detect, or maybe there was information about this underground ruins.
"My companions and I haven't eaten for a long time. Do you have anything to eat here?"
Lu Tan grinned.
"...Prepare something to eat for both of you."
Iron Fist quietly clenched his fist.
...
Lu Tran originally thought that everyone in this wasteland world eats bugs for a living. Depending on the bugs, there may be differences such as bug soup, roasted bugs, fried bugs, steamed bugs, etc. Maybe every household uses it.
There are several bugs jumping around in this fence. There may even be people from the Bug Protection Association calling on everyone to stop hurting bugs and to have humans and bugs coexist harmoniously.
However, Lu Tan found that he was very wrong.
The giants eat bugs, probably because they are poor and lack supplies, so they can only eat bugs.
But there are actually other creatures in this world.
For example, the soup in Lu Tan's hand had pieces of meat and vegetables floating in it, and the smell was refreshing. This was definitely a delicacy many times more delicious than insects.
Wu Mian watched from the side and couldn't help but swallowed.
"This is the same food as our boss. Don't be ungrateful."
I don't know whether it was out of a competitive spirit or because he wanted to give Lu Tran a show of strength, Wu Mian said something.
"Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful."
Lu Tan hurriedly thanked him. Since he had something to eat, he didn't mind.
Picking up the bowl, he took a sip of soup first.
The rich flavor of meat and oil flowed into his throat along with the warm soup. The salty and fresh taste was so much better than those insect delicacies. Lu Tan took two more bites of meat. Although he didn't know what kind of meat it was,
The tender texture is completely different from the beating insect meat, but it has a delicious feeling.
“It tastes very good!”
Lu Tian felt that this exotic delicacy also had a unique flavor.
On the side, Shia also picked up the bowl and carefully rubbed some magic spell before drinking it with confidence.
“Delicious.”
She gurgled and drank the entire bowl of soup and meat in three seconds.
So her sense of taste is also normal?
Lu Tan was suspicious.
While the two were drinking soup, the guy in white was also disappearing around, sometimes appearing behind Iron Fist, sometimes imitating a wilderness hunter to carry things, and now he sat directly next to Shia, pretending
He pretended to be drinking soup.
“What kind of meat is used in these soups?”
Lu Tan asked.
"What else could it be? Of course it's an insect."
Wu Mian replied decisively.
"puff--"
Lu Tan almost spat out what he had just drank.
Picking up the white meat in the bowl, Lu Kan found it difficult to connect it with the bugs he ate last night.
Looking at it this way, maybe the main food in this world is really bugs.
Humanity has actually fallen to this level!
While denouncing the loss of the bottom line in this apocalyptic world, he ate everything in the bowl.
As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter if it's bugs.
And according to some wilderness survival anchors, bugs have three times the protein of chicken and are more nutritious!
After convincing himself, Lu Tan even wanted to have another bowl.
At this time, an explosion sound came from the cave.
"The door has been opened."
The scouts below reported back.
"door?"
Lu Tiao was puzzled.
He followed Iron Fist into the passage. It was a narrow road dug with unknown tools. It could accommodate three people walking side by side and was very spacious.
In front of the passage is a more spacious underground hall, where a lot of supplies have been placed. On one side of the hall, there is a door that has been blown apart.
"I wonder what was used to blow open the door?"
Lu Tiao thought to himself that there were sounds of explosions in the ruins of the city before, but obviously these people didn't have gunpowder or anything like that. Does that mean they have extraordinary abilities?
He was curious about whose power it was, so he casually glanced at the door.
There is another passage inside, which has not been lit yet. It is dark and exudes the smell of decay.
Iron Fist took out a piece of paper made of animal leather. On it, there was an intricate topographic structure map, which seemed to be the route of a maze or dungeon.
"Is this a map of here?"
Lu Tan asked curiously.
Iron Fist did not answer him, but looked at the others.
"You must not mess with the things here. The mechanism used to trap that guy is very clever. Any deviation may cause the seal to loosen."
He spoke like this.
"Seal? Is it the remains of a saint?"
Lu Tan glanced at Xia. The armored female mage snapped her fingers, and after a moment, she spoke.
"The complexity here is beyond imagination. I haven't even explored one-third of the terrain."
The huge underground labyrinth, perhaps more than three hundred meters long, reminded Lu Jian of the imperial tombs in those tomb-robbing novels.
He saw the guy in white wandering around the food and weapons supplies curiously, then walked into the door and disappeared into the darkness.
