Chapter 5 Water Crisis

After getting the dagger, Yi Chu'an didn't dare to stay longer, fearing that the wolfhound would go back and forth, so he immediately ran back in the direction he came from.

He has already understood that this garbage planet is more dangerous than he imagined, the harsh environment is not the biggest dilemma, the mutated animals that appear from nowhere and the vicious ones of the same kind are the objects that he needs to be most careful about.

He was lucky not to be discovered by those three people this time, and he was not attacked by mutant animals for some reason, but good luck cannot be with him forever, he cannot stay in the cabin all the time and always go out to find food and other life A must, and you will definitely need to face these possible dangers in the future.Moreover, the cabin was not a completely safe place. Sooner or later someone would find that place, and sooner or later he would have to face the danger that he had to face. He could not escape, nor could he escape.

Yi Chuan's good luck was not used up just now. On the way back, he accidentally tripped over the rubbish on the ground, but because of this, he found food that he hadn't found for a long time—five compressed food capsules, this food One compressed capsule can keep you from feeling hungry for a day, but it tastes weird, and if you eat too much, you will lose your sense of taste. Generally, only people who are in extreme times or who are very financially strapped will buy it.

For the current Yi Chuan, these few capsules are undoubtedly a timely help. Five compressed food capsules are equivalent to giving him five more days of buffer time. He has more time to adapt to the life of a garbage star instead of trying to fill his stomach every day. Food rush.

The temporary resolution of the food problem also relieved Yi Chuan's nerves that had been tense since just now, and he even walked a lot more briskly.

Yi Chuan had a good sense of direction, and made a lot of marks on the road to prevent getting lost. He followed the marks and returned to the cabin without encountering any other dangerous things.It seems that Garbage Star's night is really not very safe, no wonder he didn't meet anyone.

Yi Chuan ate a compressed food capsule to fill his stomach, then shrank in a corner and began to rest.Searching for food among the piles of garbage is definitely a physical effort, and in addition to encountering such a terrible thing, Yi Chu'an can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, and soon fell asleep.

This time Yi Chuan didn't sleep for a long time, Tian Tianliang was awakened by the sound outside.

Yi Chu'an quietly exposed half of his head and looked down at the place where the noise was coming from, and found that many people were passing by with buckets and some packages.He hesitated for a moment, and after making sure that the group of people had left and would not find him, he left the cabin and followed quietly.Of course, he didn't forget to bring the short knife he picked up yesterday for self-defense.

Seeing the buckets in those people's hands, he remembered an important issue that he had neglected - the source of water!

The capsules found yesterday can only ensure that he will not be hungry for a period of time, and cannot replace another important substance for human survival-water.

He has ignored this problem since he didn't feel thirsty after waking up. Fortunately, those people reminded him, otherwise it would be a big trouble if he couldn't find a water source when he felt thirsty.

With yesterday's experience, Yi Chu'an's actions became more and more cautious. He didn't know if this group of people would be as brutal as those people last night. His current appearance can prevent being raped by others, but he can't stop those who eat human flesh.Before he knows more about everything here, he doesn't plan to deal with anyone for the time being.

All he needs now is water.

After experiencing so many things in just a few months, Yi Chu'an no longer trusts anyone easily.Even the lover who has been in love for many years can betray him, even the big brother next door who is so kind and gentle to him can become a cruel experimenter, what else can he believe?All he can believe now is himself!

The water source is far away from the cabin, Yi Chuan followed for a long time before arriving at the destination.

It was a lake formed for unknown reasons. The blue-green lake water was rippling, and it looked extremely weird surrounded by a pile of garbage mountains.

There were already many people gathered by the lake, most of them divided into several teams and lined up to pay something to the person at the end of the line, then filled the bucket with water on the bank and left, and those people followed by Yi Chuan also Consciously line up to the end and start waiting.

Yi Chuan hid aside and looked at it for a while, and finally understood that the water source here already has an owner, and if he wants to get water, he must exchange various materials.All he owns now are four compressed food capsules and a short knife. It may not be easy to exchange for enough water.

Just when Yi Chuan was thinking about how to deal with it, his shoulder was suddenly tapped from the back door.

"Hey, boy, what are you doing sneaking around here?" A slightly arrogant voice rang in his ears, and Yi Chuan's body immediately tensed up, and he quickly turned around reflexively, while holding a short knife in his hand to protect his chest.

"Who are you?" Yi Chu'an looked nervously at the young man in front of him and the two followers behind him, his voice a little hoarse.

"Brother Lin, this kid isn't new here, he doesn't even know you." Attendant A scrutinized Yi Chuan, who was hidden in the cloak, and turned to face the leading man. Flattering Road.

"That's right, there is something wrong with this kind of shrinking head and tail!" Attendant B said unwillingly.

The man called Lin Ge looked about in his early twenties. A thin and long scar on his left eye ruined his original handsome face, giving him a sinister feeling.

This man is not easy to deal with.

Yi Chuan intuitively thought so, his hand holding the handle of the knife tightened subconsciously, and his heart began to beat faster.He was too careless, he only paid attention to keeping the people in front from seeing him, but he didn't expect that someone would appear behind him.

After all, Yi Chuan was just an ordinary person before entering the laboratory, even after some tests in the laboratory, he was only better than ordinary people, and he still had too little experience in dealing with it.

"Newcomer?" The man let out a sneer, and his face, which was originally slightly sinister, gave people a creepy feeling.

The man put a lot of pressure on Yi Chuan, he wanted to do something to escape from here, but the man's sight suppressed him so that he couldn't move, and couldn't find any chance to escape.

The man didn't give Yi Chuan a chance to escape either. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the edge of Yi Chuan's cloak and pulled it hard. Before Yi Chuan could react, half of the cloak was torn off, and his scarred face was forced to be exposed. In public.

The two attendants were taken aback by Yi Chuan's terrifying appearance, their whole faces were distorted as if they had seen a ghost - Yi Chuan's face was not much better than a ghost, the leading man didn't make such a fuss, he Just a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he let go of the hand that was pulling the cloak.

Yi Chuan's original embarrassment turned into happiness after discovering the obvious disappointment and disgust of the few people in front of him. Thinking of what happened last night, he immediately figured out what these people's original plans were.If he hadn't been disfigured as in the past, most of what happened in the first half of yesterday would happen to him again, he had no doubt about it.

Yi Chu'an's original appearance is not a beauty, but a clean, gentle, and comfortable appearance. At first glance, it is easy to win the favor of others.His appearance is better than that of the man from last night. If the man from last night will be targeted, then his original appearance will definitely be easier to be targeted by others.

Here, disfigurement may not be a bad thing, but a protective film that protects him from being violated.

However, he did not relax his guard against the three people in front of him because of this. The disfigurement only allowed him to escape the crisis of being violated, and could not resolve other dangers.This is a morally degraded society. Even cannibalism can happen. What else can't happen?

"I'm sorry." Although it was an insincere apology, the other party didn't seem to intend to kill him immediately.The man just let out a sneer, and took two steps back to show that he was not malicious, "I am Lin Jiu, and this water source belongs to our 'Langtou'. If you want to get water, you have to hand over the corresponding food or other materials of equivalent value. In addition , don’t think you can steal water, you don’t want to know the fate of stealing water.”

After Lin Jiu finished speaking, he led his two men and turned around to leave. After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head: "Of course, it's not impossible to steal water, you can come at night, no one is guarding our place at night. "

Lin Jiu's discourse

The overly obvious malice made Yi Chuan feel chills all over his body. Lin Jiu didn't kill him immediately not because he had any sympathy for him, but because he wanted to see him laugh.This is not a transaction of equals, the value of the item is determined by the other party, if possible, Yi Chuan absolutely does not want to conduct such a transaction that is completely controlled by others.But there is no way, Lin Jiu would say that, which means that it will become extremely dangerous at night, and if you want to get water, you will have to fight with your life.

As a matter of expediency, he can only use the remaining four capsules to change some water first, and then look for new food to temporarily solve the immediate water shortage crisis.

Yi Chu'an silently pulled up his cloak and walked in the same direction. He wanted to go back to the cabin to get the capsule and find a container for water.Of course, if he was lucky, he would have to get a set of clothes, and the cloak would be ripped off like just now to expose all the ugliness, which made him really unbearable!

This back and forth plus the time to look for water containers and clothes, when Yi Chuan returned to the lake, the sun had already started to set, and there were very few people queuing up to exchange things for water. Yi Chuan was very excited. Coming soon.

"Four compressed food capsules for a glass of water." I don't know if it was Lin Jiu's order or the conditions were really so harsh, but the person sitting on the seat offered an exchange condition that Yi Chuan couldn't accept.

The compressed food capsules that can live for four days can't even replace the amount of water for one day. He doesn't know how much he needs to exchange for enough water for his survival.

"I'm sorry, I won't change it." Yi Chu'an picked up the capsule and turned away with a serious face.

It's not that he didn't see the mocking attitude of the people behind him, they were laughing at his ignorance of current affairs.He is willing to exchange food for water, but now the price has exceeded his bottom line, so he can only find another way to obtain the water of life.

If it doesn't work during the day, then only at night.He could hear Lin Jiu's words clearly. No one was guarding at night, which meant that there would be something more dangerous than human beings here at night.

Knowing that this was a trap, he had to wait and see from the side of the trap before deciding whether to jump in or not.

If he can't drink water and die of thirst, or if he is exploited until he dies of starvation, he always has to choose between them.

He didn't drink water for a day and didn't feel thirsty for a while, no matter what strange changes happened to him, it meant that he still had some time to make a choice, whether to compromise with those scum who occupied the water source.

Here, nothing can be relied on, if you want to live well, you can only rely on yourself!

Yi Chuan once again hated his own weakness. Whether he was caught in the laboratory and became an experimental product or he is now struggling to survive, he is always in a passive and weak position.
