Chapter 1206
1206 Days of waiting
After an unknown period of time, the aroma of cooked food wafted into the cave.
Morris ‘thin figure appeared again, but he was holding a container in his hand, which contained food that had just been taken out of the pot.
Sir, you must be hungry. Hurry up and eat!
Morris sniffed the fragrance emitted by the food and tried his best not to drool. Then, he respectfully placed the food in front of Tang Zhen and carefully said.
“I have my own food. You should take it back and eat with the others.”
He glanced at the food in the container. It was obvious that Morris had given him the best part. Unfortunately, the abandoned people’s cooking skills were terrible. In addition, Tang Zhen really had no appetite now, so he smiled and declined Morris.
Sir, you’re injured. You should eat quickly. We still have a lot. It’s enough to fill everyone’s stomachs!
When Morris saw that Tang Zhen didn’t want to eat, he thought that Tang Zhen was worried about the lack of food, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.
This was actually a lie. Even though they had just obtained a large pile of food, the abandoned people still did not dare to waste it and only had a little more than usual.
After living a hard life, the abandoned people had learned to be calculative and would never eat and drink without restraint.
alright, stop trying to persuade me. You guys should hurry up and eat!
Tang Zhen waved his hand and asked Morris to bring the food out. He then closed his eyes to rest.
Outside the cave, waves of laughter could be heard from time to time. The delicious food and sufficient reserves made Morris and his companions exceptionally happy.
The abandoned people were filled with respect and gratitude towards Tang Zhen, who had brought them all this. They would definitely not enter the cave to disturb his rest if there was nothing to do.
In the next two days, Morris and the others no longer went out to search because they had enough food. Instead, they carried stones and soil with all their might and built a stone wall in front of the cave entrance.
As they had to go through the day of extreme darkness every year, these stones were gradually accumulated, and the abandoned people only needed to transport them over when they were in use.
There was no order to the arrangement of the stones. They were just randomly piled up. God knows if they would collapse when they were piled to the desired height.
Tang Zhen guessed that the reason why these abandoned people would spend so much effort to build a masonry once a year was because the stone walls they built were too loose. Therefore, they could only be used for an extremely short period of time.
Just as Morris and the rest were working hard, the other two groups of abandoned people on the opposite side of the pit were also doing the same work.
Seeing the reaction of Morris and the others, the neighbors were very curious. They did not know why they always had smiles on their faces.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t they be frowning like him?
Especially in the past two days, from the place where Morris and the others lived, there was often an alluring aroma floating in the air. There was no need to guess to know that it was definitely food that they had never eaten before!
They lived next to each other, and their living conditions were similar. Even their sources of food were similar.
It was also for this reason that they were very curious. They did not know where Morris and the others had gotten this food from.
Perhaps they had an unexpected harvest on the garbage mountain, picking up food discarded by the citizens, but were missed out in the screening process.
This was the only reasonable explanation. Otherwise, it could only appear out of thin air!
The other two groups of abandoned people didn’t know, but this seemingly absurd possibility was the closest to the truth!
In fact, the other two groups of abandoned people had long known about Tang Zhen’s existence. However, they had long been used to this kind of thing because Morris ‘” picking up people ” had happened more than once.
Because of this, the two groups of abandoned people had even laughed at Morris many times, thinking that there was something wrong with their neighbor’s head, to actually waste precious food for these strangers!
However, they had never dreamed that it was because of Morris ‘” foolish ” behavior that they had obtained enough food and could possibly change their fate!
In the blink of an eye, the day of extreme darkness arrived. Morris and the others had finally completed the last step of the work, which was to seal the cave entrance where they lived.
In order to prevent the mutated monsters from damaging the water source, the three groups of abandoned people even worked together to temporarily cover the location of the spring with stones. This way, even if the mutated monsters found it, they would not be able to dig the stones away in a short time.
Everything was ready. After the night passed, the people began to stay quietly in the cave, staring at each other in a daze.
The arrival of the day of extreme darkness meant that the sun would not rise today. There was almost no light outside, and it was all dark.
On such special days, the mutated monsters would go crazy at the same time. They would spread out from their territory, their whole body glowing with fluorescent light, and try to attack all normal creatures they encountered.
Because of the existence of these monsters, many of the living creatures that had survived were wiped out and completely disappeared from this world!
In a certain corner of the cave, Tang Zhen checked the progress of the search for the plane coordinates. After confirming that there was still no progress, he turned his head and looked at Jim and the others.
They were currently sitting in a circle, using the light from the fire to try to dismantle the damaged miniature robots into a pile of parts, and then pick out some parts to make weapons.
Although it was called a miniature robot, it was still 30 centimeters in size. However, because the assembly was extremely tight, the process of dismantling was quite difficult. In a short while, Uncle Jim and the others were already covered in sweat.
However, other than a severely damaged micro-robot that had been taken apart, the rest of the robots were still intact after being fiddled with for a long time!
Jim and the others were at their wits ‘end, feeling as if they had no idea where to start.
“Morris, let me see it.”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, Morris immediately picked up a damaged micro-robot and carefully handed it to Tang Zhen.
When Uncle Jim and the others saw this, they also looked at Tang Zhen at the same time, hoping that he would help to open it.
Tang Zhen placed the miniature robot in his hand and carefully observed it. The corner of his mouth was gently raised.
He stretched out his finger and flicked it at a certain spot. Then, a soft sound was heard, and a screw-like object fell from the outer shell of the miniature robot.
Immediately after, Tang Zhen’s palm gently trembled. The miniature robot that had caused Jim and the others to be helpless was directly turned into a pile of spare parts!
This scene caused Jim and the others to be dumbstruck. They looked at each other and picked up a miniature robot from the ground one after another. After that, they tried to disassemble it like Tang Zhen did.
you don’t have to do this, because there’s not much metal in it. Even if you take it all apart, you can only make a dagger!
Tang Zhen explained upon seeing this. However, Uncle Jim and the others merely smiled in a simple and honest manner before lowering their heads and continuing to study.
Morris, who was sitting on the side, explained in a low voice when he saw that Tang Zhen did not seem to understand this, ” “Sir, among us, only Uncle Jim has a metal machete. The other people’s weapons are almost all made of stone, so everyone hopes to have another one.
This way, whether it’s snatching garbage or entering a Monster City to get seeds, I’ll have more confidence!”
Tang Zhen nodded. In these two days, he already had a deeper understanding of this world. He also knew how difficult it was to obtain metals.
Even so, he did not give Morris and the others weapons directly. Perhaps he would give them a few in the future, but definitely not under such circumstances.
Compared to ordinary cold weapons, not only were the demonic weapons stored by Tang Zhen extremely valuable, but they also had special properties. In this world, they could definitely be called divine weapons!
Once the enemy knew about it and tried to snatch it, it would be equivalent to bringing disaster to Morris and the others. He had seen too many similar things, so Tang Zhen naturally would not do this!
However, it was not a problem to give them one or two ordinary cold weapons.
