Chapter 260 259. Cave
Walking all the way up the plank road, the cave at the corner that Huaiyu mentioned is actually still far away.
The original plan for this dive was to wait until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly and the heat from the earth and rocks that had been directly exposed to the sun for a day was evaporating. At this time, we could rest on the spot.
Wait until five o'clock before setting off, and find a suitable place to stay overnight when it gets dark around 7:00.
But he forgot that he was no longer the captain Zhou who ordered and forbade him. Instead, he turned into a drag bottle, and Huai Yu also transformed into a drag bottle in terms of physical strength.
The two tow trucks bumped into each other, and finally arrived at the cave they planned to visit at 6:00 in the evening.
At this moment, Huaiyu was holding on to the stone wall next to the plank road, refusing to walk no matter what: "I'm too tired! I can't walk!"
Zhou Qian's clothes were also soaked with sweat. After a few steps, he looked up and looked at the cave ahead that Huaiyu mentioned - this was not a cave, it was clearly a wide and bright depression in the mountain wall.
As far as the eye can see, there are all flat stones, and there are no weeds in all directions. It does not look like a place where fungi can grow.
Zhou Qian was slightly relieved.
Look at the time again - 6:00 is an awkward time period. You can keep walking, but you can't say whether you can find such a good place to shelter from wind, rain and morning dew at night.
He had no choice but to nod: "Okay, just rest here - don't get close to the cave first, I'll go in and take a look."
He was used to walking at the front, but Huaiyu stopped him Get off him: "Brother Zhou Qian, you are not as safe as me on the mountain."
After Huaiyu approached, he just glanced at it and immediately felt relieved: "It's so dry here, and most plants don't like it. Brother Zhou Qian, we can have a good rest at night."
This coincides with Zhou Qian's thoughts, but he is still thinking about the mutant bacteria Kuang Biao described, and at this moment he is wondering: "Isn't it this cave? ”
Huaiyu was not sure: "This mountain is so big, it's normal for there to be hidden caves in other places - Brother Zhou Qian, come and move the stones to build the stove, and I'll get some branches."
After running around for an afternoon, and not seeing anything edible on the road, Zhou Qian was actually hungry. Now he used local materials, piled large and small stones together, and quickly put the multifunctional pot on it.
Look at their inventory - a bottle of shrimp oil, six dry pancakes that will not spoil immediately in this weather, a head of garlic, a pack of dried chili peppers, and a little salt.
There is also a pack of dried shrimps that are caught and fried and dried.
I had already finished eating the taro lotus at noon. Thinking of the crispy texture, Zhou Qian couldn't help but salivate, so he took another sip of water.
Three large bottles of mineral water-like water weighed heavily on his back, which was not much weight to him now. It's just that the backpack is full, and even though a day has passed, there is nothing missing except a bottle of water - the empty bucket is still stuffed in the backpack, so as not to waste any of it.
Put the warm water in your mouth, and then swallow it slowly. While it is moistening, Zhou Qian is also thinking about another thing -
Judging from today's situation, White elm is safe anywhere there are mutated plants. Occasionally, if a mutated animal wants to take action, the plants on the side will help stop it.
In this way, she doesn’t have to worry about her safety on the way to the wilderness.
But since mutated animals dare to attack, mutated creatures like strange fish in the pond must not be avoided. However, water sources are the top priority in the wild, and the garrison site should generally be chosen. nearby.
When he and Huaiyu go to the wilderness, they can't bring a cart full of water, right?
This will have to be solved sooner or later. He looked around and found a tall rock standing straight up not far away, like an abruptly stretched out finger, facing the entrance of the cave. It was indeed particularly eye-catching.
There is a thin waterfall splashing from top to bottom on this rock. Although it looks very close, it actually takes some effort to reach it. Apart from this, there is no other source of water.
At this moment, Huaiyu had already dragged a dead tree back: "Brother Zhou Qian, I got the firewood back, you can break it."
"Withered?" Zhou Qian took over and found that it was light and airy. It was clear that the water had evaporated long ago, and now it was the best time to make a fire.
"Well," Huaiyu also took a sip of water: "The plants in the mountains are competing too hard. Some small trees can't get sunlight for a long time and can't get nutrients, so they have to die like this. . I asked several trees, but some of them couldn't answer me. After asking many more questions, they told me the place. "
This is probably an oak tree. Looking at its rugged skin, I feel confused. Yu was still a little regretful: "It would be particularly suitable to take this home to plant black fungus."
As he spoke, Zhou Qian had neatly removed its side branches, and then the overly long branch above his knees slightly With some force, the branch snapped again.
Huaiyu: ...forget it.
Anyway, she couldn't drag the tree back, so she would have to buy another fungus bag. Without meat or eggs, only fungi can taste delicious, otherwise it always feels like eating grass.
Zhou Qian was a little funny: "You have such a good relationship with plants, will you be sad if this tree dies?"
"Of course not!" Huaiyu said matter-of-factly: "Species There is a cycle between them, do I have to feel sorry for them?”
“If I’m even sad about this, then when I first cut down trees to build a house and make firewood, wouldn’t I have to give them a blow? ? Life for life?"
She shook her head: "Brother Zhou Qian, you are too narrow-minded!"
Then he mumbled again! "What's more, the trees I'm looking for have no mutated abilities at all, and they won't pay attention to me if I want to talk."
Narrow Zhou Qian: Got it, Huaiyu's logic is not based on people, but on people. From species - as if she herself is not human.
He simply changed the subject: "What are you going to eat tonight?"
Good question!
I saw Huaiyu pointing to the plastic bag on the side: "When I was looking for firewood, I came across an acacia flower. Although the season was wrong, it heard that I had no food to eat at night, so it still wanted to Give me a few bunches of flowers - the price is to help it grow a little more, because autumn is coming, and it needs a stronger root system to grow to store capacity for the winter."
"So..."
Huaiyu stared at the materials he could use now and couldn't help but become curious: "Brother Zhou Qian, do you think the fried shrimp oil will be delicious when mixed with steamed sophora flowers? ”
This combination sounds a bit strange, but what hasn’t Zhou Qian eaten during his previous missions? The nutrient solution specially provided by the defense army is also terrible to drink. Huaiyu still wants to take two sips after drinking it.
So he raised his eyebrows: "Just try, I can eat whatever you want."
Thinking about Huaiyu's criminal record, he added the necessary conditions: "The materials must be You purified it”
Huaiyu snorted: "I haven't lied to you a few times. Why are you so defensive... I also want to eat the steamed locust flowers at night."
Update 1, so sleepy! Eat another sour orange!
