Chapter 21: 021 Acting

Su Xiao Xiao hurriedly took it, wiped it casually, and put it in her mouth.

But in just a moment, she revealed a satisfied expression.

Ye Fan: 【This expression, tsk!】

Li Qinqin: 【Holy crap, can you really drive on any broken road?】

Lu Zhong: 【I want to get off the car, this car isn't right!】

Zhang Bei looked at Su Xiao Xiao's expression and finally confirmed that the fruit was indeed delicious.

He casually picked one up and put it in his mouth.

Hong Hui: 【Holy crap, I just realized, he's using A Su to test for poison!】

Li Qinqin: 【Black-hearted Bei?】

Before the live broadcast room could criticize him, Zhang Bei's expression stiffened, and he hurriedly spat out the fruit in his mouth.

Su Xiao Xiao laughed out loud and also spat out the fruit.

"Hahaha, you fell for it!"

The fruit was only the size of a lychee, and Zhang Bei had seen the wormholes on it, which was why he was certain the fruit could be eaten.

But he never expected that this fruit would actually be bitter!

Hong Hui: 【Hahaha, I'd like to call A Su's acting the strongest!】

Li Qinqin: 【Holy crap, even someone as strong as Brother Bei can be fooled!】

Qiu Xingwen: 【With A Su's acting, if she doesn't get the Best Actress award this year, it's a dark curtain!】

Zhang Bei casually threw away the fruit in his hand, shouldered the large net woven from vines again, and walked forward.

Su Xiao Xiao hurriedly followed Zhang Bei's footsteps: "You aren't angry, are you?"

Zhang Bei shook his head; it was just a joke, he wouldn't get angry over that.

"I was just thinking, since animals can have Crystal Cores, is it possible that there are heavenly treasures here?"

Su Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up: "Like the Tianshan snow lotus that can keep you young forever?"

Zhang Bei reached out and knocked on Su Xiao Xiao's head: "What are you thinking? I'm talking about things that can improve strength!"

Su Xiao Xiao covered her head: "I know, I know!"

Zhang Bei's footsteps stopped between two large trees.

Based on the feces from just now, this area must be the territory of a large feline.

And this was the only way through.

Zhang Bei reached out and placed the large net he was shouldering on the ground.

Looking at Su Xiao Xiao nearby: "You go find some more fallen leaves!"

Su Xiao Xiao nodded and walked toward the outside.

The two of them were busy for a full hour before they finally set up the hunting trap.

Zhang Bei looked at the net buried in the leaves and nodded with satisfaction.

Su Xiao Xiao smacked her lips: "Should we go find some vegetables?"

Zhang Bei looked up at the sky; the daytime at the equator was very long.

Based on his calculations, the sun was only just past three in the afternoon.

"Alright, let's go find some!"

Wu Yingcai: 【Tsk, this life is truly wonderful!】

Li Qinqin: 【It's truly absurd, the three settlements over there are all starving, and here they are tired of eating meat?】

Qiu Xingwen: 【Just checked, the Qingshan Settlement feels like a riot is about to happen.】

Zhang Bei's gaze was also on the bullet comments at this time, and he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong over there?"

Qiu Xingwen: 【Basically, except for the managers, most people only have very little food every day, and there have already been cases of people starving to death.】

Li Qinqin: 【Holy crap, is it already that serious?】

Wu Yingcai: 【Yes, a riot happened this morning, but it was suppressed.】

Zhang Bei squinted his eyes; in this kind of near-desperate situation, starving to death wasn't strange.

People's hearts would breed countless greeds, and in a situation where they were about to starve to death.

As long as they could get a mouthful of food, they wouldn't care about anything else.

"Exchanging children to eat" wasn't just a simple idiom.

He turned to look at Su Xiao Xiao nearby: "After I finish the mission, I'm planning to build a shelter."

Su Xiao Xiao tilted her head: "Why?"

Zhang Bei looked into the depths of the jungle: "To cope with the next increase in difficulty."

The first increase in difficulty was the change in environment and the shortage of food.

Then what about the second? If the environment became even colder, it would be impossible for anyone to survive.

There was only one possibility: the threat from animals!

That giant python weighing several hundred jin from the ruins was still in the Trading Center.

Li Qinqin: 【Holy crap, can the difficulty still increase?】

Wu Yingcai: 【Damn, does that mean people will still die?】

Lu Zhong: 【In the current situation, ordinary people wouldn't live past three days, right?】

Su Xiao Xiao shrank her neck; although she hadn't felt the increase in difficulty while following Zhang Bei.

But during this time, she had also seen the bullet comments in Zhang Bei's live broadcast room.

Every day, people were counting how many people had died.

The two of them walked forward, and Zhang Bei's footsteps suddenly stopped.

He pointed at a wild grass on the ground: "Guess what this is?"

Su Xiao Xiao looked down; the leaves of the entire plant were very broad, and the leaf stems were also very thick.

But she thought for a long time and couldn't remember ever eating this kind of vegetable.

"Looks like a magnified rapeseed leaf?"

Zhang Bei smiled; if this thing was grown in the countryside, children basically would have seen it.

He turned to look at the live broadcast room: "Does anyone know?"

Li Qinqin: 【Don't know.】

Lu Zhong: 【Isn't this thing taro?】

Qiu Xingwen: 【No need to doubt, it's taro!】

Zhang Bei nodded lightly: "That's right, this is taro!"

As he spoke, he reached out and dug out the roots buried underground.

Looking at its shape, it was indeed taro.

It was just that, unlike the common ones, the taro in the Ice Age presented a faint red color.

And its size was basically twice that of ordinary taro.

Su Xiao Xiao looked at the taro in front of her and swallowed: "Can this be eaten?"

Zhang Bei nodded; since it was confirmed to be taro, it proved that this thing was definitely edible.

He snapped off the leaves and handed them to Su Xiao Xiao: "Go find some more; maybe we can eat rich starch tonight."

Watching Su Xiao Xiao's active figure, Zhang Bei shook his head lightly.

Under his search, he soon saw another familiar thing.

Zhang Bei squatted down and looked at the "spinach" in front of him that was a full half-meter tall.

Emerald-green leaves, small leaf stems, and roots that weren't very thick.

These things all clearly indicated one point: this thing was spinach.

It was just that this one in front of him was the size of a small tree.

Zhang Bei hesitated and took a little bit to put in his mouth.

That's right!

It was spinach!

This time Zhang Bei didn't hesitate; he took the axe and chopped down this spinach.

Li Qinqin: 【This thing is spinach?】

Ye Fan: 【Spinach sold cheap?】

Qiu Xingwen: 【Growing this big, it must have become a spirit, right?】

Zhang Bei had just stood up when Su Xiao Xiao's voice came to his ears.

"Come quickly, look what I found!"

Zhang Bei followed the voice and found her.

Su Xiao Xiao was holding a pile of taro in her arms, and in her hand, she was holding a red thing.

Seeing Zhang Bei come over, she hurriedly reached out her hand.

Seeing the thing in Su Xiao Xiao's hand, Zhang Bei's eyes instantly lit up.

Chili!

Seeing the thing in front of him, Zhang Bei couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.

But looking at the chili in front of him, Zhang Bei suddenly realized a problem. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
