Steampunk City [Infrastructure]

Luo Zhan laid down cautiously at the entrance of the cave, because the huge beetle in the sky that was emitting thick smoke was not good at all, and the eight belly eyes on the beetle's face made people feel hairy.

After lurking and waiting for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. The beast roared past and did not stop.

It’s just that he didn’t know that a young man wrapped in animal skin and holding a stone gun on the back of the Beetle was constantly rubbing his eyes and looking down, “What do people from marginal tribes look like now? Just like a kitten.”

Luo Zhan didn't know anything about it, and he walked out from the shadow of the cave when it became quiet outside.

Touching his chest, "It's so dangerous at the door of the house, it's better to finish the work early and go back to the cave."

Just as he was thinking, a cold breath came from his neck, and a shadow enveloped him from behind.

Looking back, it was a giant python spitting out a letter, and Luo Zhe's clear shadow was reflected in its two scarlet vertical eyes.

It is not right to say that it is a giant python. It has a pair of half-meter-long antlers on top of its head, and its thick body is just wrapped around the cave, rubbing against the mountain wall to make the sound of gold and stone.

Face to face with the giant python, you can feel the fishy smell from the letter.

"..."

Luo Zhan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the pupils of both eyes became narrow and erect, exactly the same as the eyes of the python in front of him, cold and emotionless.

This is a mantra that uses the eyes as the weapon.

Raising ferocious beasts and sharing the spells on them are the basis for the survival of people in the tribe, and there is nothing unusual about it.

This giant python is called Snake Mother, and it was hatched and raised by Luo Zhan. It was also discovered in the black meteorite box together with the computer. It should be recorded in the notes that it came with the meteorite group As for the animal eggs on the earth, Luo Zhan never imagined that a beast egg as big as a fist could hatch such a behemoth.

What the snake mother eats are animal bones and poison sacs that the tribe does not want, otherwise Luo Zhan would not be able to support her.

Turn over and climb on the top of the snake mother's head, stand up straight, the mountain wind is bleak, and the wind blows the robe.

From this moment on, temporarily forgetting the beauty of the world in the computer, he is standing on top of the giant python, with a pair of snake eyes, the new patriarch of the tribe.

He didn't dare to delay, in Luo Ran's opinion, it was too dangerous outside, he had to finish his work and return to the cave as soon as possible, and despite the fact that the snake mother looked brutal and cruel, she was actually a little girl at heart, as timid as him.

His master hasn't left the cave for ten years, and the snake mother is the same, she doesn't know how to hunt at all, even if she throws bloody prey next to it, it won't bite, but opens its mouth wide and waits to be fed. This is how Luo Zong feeds it.

Luo Zhan's tribe is not big, and the snake mother's swimming speed is not slow.

But soon Luo Zhan realized something was wrong.

He walked around the entire tribe, and found a child with messy hair in a weed pile, digging up grass roots to eat.

The child looks thin and skinny, but full of wildness, wearing worn animal skins, wearing a small dinosaur skull on his head, and holding a frog with a transparent belly in his arms. dress up.

Luo Zhan had a bad premonition that even if the hunting team in the clan went out to hunt, it would be impossible for them to leave so cleanly.

The child hid the bone knife in his hand, raised his head and looked vigilantly at Luo Lan on the snake mother's head, "Who are you?"

Luo Zhan pointed to the location of his cave.

Before he could react, he saw the child jumping up, "Little Patriarch?"

"The old patriarch said that children like me without parents have to be raised by the young patriarch."

The expression was very fierce, but there was an unconcealable tension, anticipation, and longing in the eyes.

Luo Zhan never thought that such a young child could show such a complex expression.

Since he is a child of his own tribe, he should know his doubts. Luo Zhan asked, "Where did the other tribe go?"

"They're all gone. They said that the little patriarch can't get out of the cave, and he can't lead us to hunt and survive. It's better to find a way to join other tribes..."

"The fierce beast they despise me is a frog, it's useless, and they don't want me."

"Little patriarch, don't you want me too? The old patriarch said, I am a child of the tribe, no matter how useless the little patriarch is, he can't abandon me."

Luo Zhan was dumbfounded and almost lost his footing.

what's the situation?

all gone?

In other words, the entire tribe, now only myself and this unwanted child are left?

Luo Ran thought of something, and his body trembled. What will happen to their food source in the future?Is it him or the child in front of him who is holding a stone gun to fight the beast?

His original plan was to stay in the cave and strategize, lead the tribe to survive, become a spiritual leader, and still be able to watch videos every day happily.

But now...

Luo Zhan suddenly had a feeling that the sky was dark and the sky was about to fall.

He hasn't been out of the house for ten years, how can he survive in this wilderness?

The snake mother also doesn't know how to hunt, and now there are no unnecessary animal bones and poison sacs. Not only will he starve to death, but the snake mother will also starve to death.

It was the child who hurried to the side of the snake mother, as if Luo Zhan would abandon him. He knew that a child like him could not survive alone, so he pinned his hope of survival on Luo Zhan.

It's just that he doesn't know that Luo Zhan's ability to survive may not be as strong as him.

"My name is Salmon..."

His eyes were filled with anticipation. He watched the clansmen leave one by one with his own eyes, so he had to stay with the little patriarch no matter what. This was his only chance to survive.

Luo Zhan is now so dazed that he can't hear other voices at all, and there is only one thought in his mind, what should he do?It never occurred to him that this would be the case.

Salmon was not the only one who was abandoned, Luo Zhan was also the same now, those tribesmen abandoned their patriarch silently.

He pinched the blueprint of the steam pump in his hand. He was so focused on finding a way to solve the water transportation problem these days, that's why he didn't say a word after taking over as the patriarch.

He was already mentally prepared to be a patriarch.

Nothing you say now will change the status quo.

Luo Yan once learned a sentence in the computer, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, but it doesn't seem to apply now.

The situation was even worse than imagined. Those who left took all the stone guns and animal skins, and there was not even a single clay jar left.

Their tribe was already poor, and now they really have nothing.

Looking at the only two broken stone spears found, other than that, the only weapon left was the small bone knife in Salmon's hand. Even if he went hunting, he didn't even have a handy weapon.

The tribe has a culture of grinding stone tools. Let alone whether Luo Zhan knows it, even if he does, it will take a lot of time to polish a usable stone spear. It is estimated that they will have starved to death before that.

So, in the weed pile, there were two people who were digging the grass roots with half stone guns.

So miserable.

Their clan land is on a volcano, and even the grass roots are rarer and harder to dig than imagined.

Moreover, not all grass roots can be eaten, and they will die faster if they are eaten indiscriminately.

Fortunately, the salmon frog is very interesting. You just need to feed it a little first. If the frog's transparent belly doesn't change color, it means that it won't kill you.

Of course, it's just that it can't kill people.

"I survived by eating this." Salmon said proudly. For a child of his age, it is already very remarkable to be able to survive alone.

Salmon is so thin, which is probably the reason why they often eat grass roots. In the past, their tribe was poor, and normal people couldn't eat enough. One can imagine the living conditions of children without parents like salmon.

Luo Zhan used to have times when he didn't have enough to eat, but he was the only direct blood relative of the old patriarch, and his situation was much better.

Luo Zhan was eating bitter grass roots, and he really couldn't dislike it, because it was the only way to hang his life now, and at most he would lament the sudden hardship and despair for the future.

Many questions that I have never thought about before, I have to think about now.

After a little analysis of the current situation, neither he nor the salmon should have the ability to hunt alone.

The only possibility is that the snake mother is left.

In any case, the snake mother is also a huge beast, and it is also a cold-blooded animal with a very cruel nature.

So training and training the snake mother, it is impossible to say that their situation will turn around.

Luo Zhixin said that the snake mother must learn to hunt as soon as possible, otherwise he will become as skinny as a salmon in a few days, not to mention that there are not many grass roots that can be dug on the volcano, so it won't last long.

But there is no time today, and the sunset in the sky is about to go down.

Luo Zhi drove the snake mother back to the cave. It is worth mentioning that Salmon followed like a little follower and did not leave. He looked so fierce that no one could get rid of him.

Luo Zan thought for a while, and next to his cave was the cave of the clansmen who had left, so it was just right for the salmon to live there.

Salmon entered the cave, and squatted at the entrance of the cave with his frog, looking in the direction of Luo Zhan without blinking, because he was not sure if Luo Zhan would just leave like the rest of the tribe, he had to keep staring .

Luo Zhan gave one of his animal skins to the salmon as a nest, because the salmon was poorer than him, and had nothing but the frog and a bone knife.

Going back to his own cave and turning his erect eyes back to normal, Luo Zhan's whole body is not well.

"Life has changed dramatically."

"The miserable characters in the TV series are not as miserable as myself."

But it didn't take long for him to know that there is only worse in this world, not the worst.

The sky was just getting dark, and under the shining stars all over the sky, there was a loud "boom".

There was a glowing red outside the cave.

As a native of the volcano, he knew exactly what was going on outside.

No one will take their clan land if they give it to others, because the volcano will erupt from time to time.

They are used to it. As long as they hide in the cave and don't go out, there is no danger. Their clan is on the back of the volcano, but...

But the erupting lava will burn everything around it that can be ignited.

Luo Li opened his mouth, "..."

He felt as if he was about to suffocate, because...the only grass root they could hang was gone.

Luo Zhan was completely stunned, looking at the flames shining outside the cave, "How will I live tomorrow?"
