Chapter 12

The two finally rushed back to the wooden house before dark.

Looking at the intact traps, Zhang Bei could be considered to have breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there was nothing important in the wooden house.

But once someone broke in, it would be a trouble after all.

He reached out and pushed open the wood pile, looked at the remaining charcoal fire, and added a few pieces of firewood.

He casually placed the scroll on the table: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Su Xiao Xiao tilted her head: "Eat fish."

Zhang Bei nodded and took out two ten-pound black fish from the trading center.

He skillfully processed the two fish, set one up with a wooden stick and placed it on the fire.

He cut the other one into segments with a dagger and placed it in the pot with rice.

Li Qinqin: 【Here it comes, the familiar prelude to poisoning】

Lu Zhong: 【Here it comes, classic program, poisoning plus dog food】

Ye Fan: 【Smart me has already ordered takeout.】

Su Xiao Xiao, who was sitting quietly on the side, suddenly jumped up: "These people are too much!"

Zhang Bei turned his head in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Su Xiao Xiao pouted: "Langzi is you, right?"

Zhang Bei nodded: "It's me, what's wrong?"

Su Xiao Xiao took a deep breath: "Those people in the discussion area asked you to hand over the meat in the trading center, and said a lot of ugly things."

Zhang Bei reached out and swiped a few times on the watch, and the translucent screen immediately popped out.

Looking at the heated discussion above, Zhang Bei suddenly laughed.

Su Xiao Xiao heard the laughter and felt a burst of anger rising: "They are so excessive, and you are still laughing!"

Zhang Bei shook his head lightly: "They have no value at all, this is just a struggle before death."

Su Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Bei shook his head: "Now people with strength can hunt in the wild, and those without strength can also exchange for the most basic supplies by relying on labor."

Speaking of this, Su Xiao Xiao already understood what Zhang Bei meant.

People who have time to clamor here are still in a state of not being full.

Entering the wild is also afraid of danger, and relying on labor to exchange for food is also felt not worth it.

Such people will be directly eliminated when the surrounding food is eaten up, or after experiencing some changes.

And coincidentally, these people occupy the majority in this Ice Age.

Suddenly, the sound of whistling wind came from outside the wooden house.

Zhang Bei frowned and reached out to push open the wood pile.

I don't know when it started snowing in the sky, and the wind gradually became stronger.

Zhang Bei's expression became solemn.

This should be the difficulty increase mentioned by the watch.

Didn't expect it to be such extreme weather from the beginning.

In this kind of weather, if there is no suitable shelter, this night will be very difficult to endure.

The cold wind blew on his body, and Zhang Bei shivered.

He re-placed the wood pile and sat by the fire.

Su Xiao Xiao on the side looked at the flickering firelight: "Who exactly chose us to participate in such a game?"

"Don't know, and don't need to think about it, as long as you live, one day you will know the truth."

Su Xiao Xiao looked at the flat Zhang Bei: "Aren't you curious?"

Zhang Bei's tone was as flat as ever: "Curiosity will kill the cat, now improving strength and living is the most important thing."

Su Xiao Xiao nodded, no matter who planned this game,

that is not an existence they can deal with now.

Late at night, the light of the burning charcoal shone on the house.

And this night, I don't know how many people are enduring cold and hunger.

The sky brightened, and Zhang Bei opened his eyes like an alarm clock.

Even through the wood pile, he could hear the howling wind outside.

Zhang Bei sighed silently.

If this snow doesn't stop today, I'm afraid many people will face the problem of food shortage.

Zhang Bei's speculation was correct; most people didn't have a good food reserve.

And in a cave, two men sat on the ground around the fire.

"At most tonight, our food will be completely consumed."

The air quieted down, and after a long time, a hoarse voice sounded.

"That level ten thing, if it doesn't work, sell it."

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, we are all about to starve to death, what's the use of keeping it?"

The man who spoke first looked at the fire in front of him: "Then I'll contact the buyer."

Most people living in the Ice Age now know that the one called Langzi has a large amount of food.

Especially recently, because of food, some disturbances have occurred.

And Zhang Bei at this time is constantly making marks on the map with charcoal.

Su Xiao Xiao on the side turned the meat in the fire.

"Are we really going to leave?"

Zhang Bei nodded lightly: "After this blizzard passes, we should go."

"Why leave, I think there is food and drink here, and surviving 100 days shouldn't be a problem."

Hearing Su Xiao Xiao's words, Zhang Bei raised his head.

"Do you think life is good now?"

"Yes, food and drink are not worried, and there is a safe shelter."

Zhang Bei looked at the map in his hand and sighed.

"There are two problems. The first is if we really go back, how to face modern society?"

Hearing Zhang Bei's words, Su Xiao Xiao's pupils shrank.

That's right, no matter what, modern society will definitely not allow them, these people with extraordinary power, to walk around at will.

Before Su Xiao Xiao could refute, Zhang Bei's next sentence immediately followed.

"Is the survival competition really only once? If the environment is more harsh next time, relying on current strength, can you still survive?"

The throwing out of these two questions made Su Xiao Xiao quiet down.

And at this time in the live broadcast room, a discussion also unfolded about the questions raised by Zhang Bei.

Lu Zhong: 【Holy crap, are they thinking so far?】

Hong Hui: 【Born in worry, die in comfort?】

Qiu Xingwen: 【Then does that mean we also have hope to be chosen?】

Li Qinqin: 【Holy crap, superpower, I want it too!】

Suddenly, a crisp bell rang in the quiet wooden house.

Zhang Bei looked at the call request on the watch in confusion and chose to accept it.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Langzi?"

"It's me."

Hearing Zhang Bei's answer, the other side of the call was slightly silent.

"We have a level ten item, we want to trade some food with you."

Zhang Bei's eyes immediately narrowed.

According to common sense, being able to obtain a level ten item itself should also have a certain strength.

Such people would not lack food at all.

"How much do you want to trade?"

The other side of the call quickly reported a number.

Zhang Bei didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

For Zhang Bei now, food is the thing he lacks the least.

Instead, extraordinary items are what should be collected the most.

After hanging up the call, Zhang Bei swiped a few times on the watch,

a white light slowly condensed into an item in mid-air.
