.The increase in population will inevitably be accompanied by the intensification of food consumption. Therefore, the source of food is naturally a matter that Tianxiang, the patriarch, has to give priority to.

Compared with the original group of less than 200 people, the addition of Liuyun women has increased this number by one? More. The number of people in the group has reached about 300 now. Although these women can indeed reconcile the basic conflicts among some tribes. However, they are also humans and have to eat. Tianxiang knew in his heart that even though he saved them, if there was no sufficient food supply, these women would leave the group. Maybe when they were hungry, they would even quietly cut off their heads while they were asleep, put them on the fire and then grilled them, and have a good meal. The grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring!" This is the best portrayal of the relationship between the benefactors and the benefactors in ancient books.

Unfortunately, that kind of thing can only happen in ancient times. Among the hunters who are rushing to the most basic right to survive, this is undoubtedly a joke. Even if you have saved my life, even if you have distributed the last bite of food to me, even if you are sleeping with me and a very close lover. As long as I am hungry, I will eat you without hesitation. Don’t tell me any big principles, don’t say nonsense like benevolence, righteousness, and morality to me. The reality is that simple. If you have food, we are friends, lovers, and even your slaves. On the other hand, when you make me hungry, you are my best food.

If I want to live, I have to eat. When I am hungry, there is no reason to talk about. Of course, when I eat, I may think of all your benefits. But unfortunately, you have become barbecue in my stomach and a bunch of bones in front of me that I can't speak.

Tianxiang always felt a little incredible about Liu Rui, a electronic man who had lived for a long time. He knew very well that during the hundreds of years that Liu Rui was the clan leader, it was absolutely impossible to guarantee that he would provide enough food to his clan members every day. But unexpectedly, he was not bitten into bones by his hungry subordinates. What was the reason for this? As a electronic man, even his skin was a synthetic substance that could not be chewed at all?

Liu Rui never answered this question. Every time Tianxiang asked, the old man just smiled faintly. Then he looked around and said it.

The insects in the cold storage are enough to eat for a long time. But what after that? What can we eat after all the insects are eaten? Hunting is definitely necessary, but the problem is that insects are the same as humans. They take time to produce and reproduce. In a certain place, it is absolutely impossible to say that you killed a bug today, and a similar size will appear to provide you with meat the next day. That kind of wonderful thing may only happen in dreams! Therefore, no matter how hunting tribes stay in one place for too long, they must migrate, move to another place, and look for it.

New food sources. This is an iron rule that no hunting tribe can violate. Therefore, whenever they find a suitable area for living, they will always try their best to kill all the insects that can be killed. After a thorough savage plunder, they will continue to move towards the next rich hunting ground. On the contrary, the same is true for insects. Many insects that have tasted human flesh and have never forgotten their delicious food have gradually learned the ability of human land. They will flow from one place to another. They will eat all the people who can eat, and then move again towards new, possibly inhabited places.

Therefore, the only way to solve the problem of the supply source of ethnic food is to migrate.

At this point, neither human nor insects can choose, they can only follow. However, Tianxiang did not want to leave. He knew very well how dangerous the outside world was. Compared with this safe and hidden underground base, any place of residence had hidden dangers of one kind or another.

Besides, those mysteriously humanoids have obviously joined the hunting team of human-eating insects.

If you don't leave, you will starve to death. But if you leave, you will encounter various dangers and even exterminate the clan. Tianxiang has his own way. Some thoughts have been lingering in his heart for a long time. Now, it's time to take them out and implement them. Since he rescued Liuyun's woman, Tianxiang has always regretted it. It's not that he regretted not helping these poor women. But he regretted his previous behavior of hunting and killing trichinids. Just to get the felt clothes for winter, he led his tribe members to almost kill all the trichinids in this area. It will take at least one and a half years for a trichinid to hatch from the eggs until he becomes adult. Although this plant-eating insect is not large in size, it survives

The period is only three years. However, if you want to grow and grow, it will take at least a few time to accumulate. Carnivorous insects, human hunters, and various inexplicable threats are the most fundamental reasons for limiting the growth of the insect swarm. For example, the group of trichinella swarms with more than 10,000 heads next to the base has been developed for at least six or seven years. If Tianxiang did not wipe out the insect hairs in order to obtain insect hairs, it would just eat and kill them immediately. The annual increase in the number of these insects can actually meet the basic food consumption of the existing population. Regret is useless. Tianxiang's annoyance only lasted for a short period of time. Because he had these new problems.

Raising. This work is first published on the exclusive text version of 6k Novel Network. It may not be reproduced without consent or excerpted. For more latest and fastest chapters, please visit www.piaotian.com.com. This is a special noun that Tianxiang saw in ancient books. His own understanding of this word is: "A behavior of using less food to exchange for more food." Chicken, duck, goose, pig... These strange words that sound difficult to pronounce are said to be animals raised by the ancients. The purpose is to be able to raise them and then kill and eat meat.

This is very similar to raising a "meat man". Raising a "meat man" usually cuts off his feet and completely eliminates the possibility of escaping. However, according to the book, raising animals requires a "wind" thing. Chicken pens, pig pens, and cow pens are named because of this. With this kind of thing, the animals raised will not escape at all. Moreover, they will happily raise their necks when they are slaughtered.

Is this possible? More than two kilometers away from the base, it was a paradise filled with many trichinellas. It was made up of cement pieces. The reason for it was that several buildings collided with each other after collapse. The gaps made of bricks, tiles and gravels became the best snail settlement for trichinellas. Tianxiang has come here many times. It is different from the disgusting scene of densely packed with insects before the beginning of winter. The current insect nest looks like an ordinary cement ruin. Perhaps, there may be a few pitiful surviving insects in the depths of the ruins. But no matter what, the original mass of the insect swarm has lost. The remaining insects will no longer come out to wander around for food as before.

When raising insects, treat this place as a "worm circle" and also as the source of food for the tribes in the future. This is Tianxiang's idea. If people want to spend the winter, insects will naturally have to spend the winter. Tianxiang does not want to disturb the insects that are sleeping in the ground. Although it is approaching spring, there are still no insects. However, he does not want to waste time now. He wants to take his tribe members around in some places where signs of snow have appeared. He hopes to find some new trichinidine gathering points.

After the weather gets warmer, "kidnaps" some suitable insects and throw them into their own insect circles for breeding. There is a very good saying by the ancients: "Rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests."

Although Tianxiang does not have much intuitive concepts in his mind about the creature "rabbit". Although there are specific descriptions of this "weak animal" in the information obtained at Base No. 2, in Tianxiang's view, an animal that has never met with "rabbit" is just a ball of meat full of fluff. After all, until now, Tianxiang has not thought much about the great responsibilities he should bear as a "pathfinder". The reality has been clearly placed in front of him. "If you can't even fill your stomach, then what can you use to save the world? Save humans?

"The poor man sitting on the street was fantasizing about asking for a beautiful woman worth tens of millions of dollars to be his wife." This is a joke from the ancients. It is also the greatest irony of the unrealistic fantasy. Therefore, Tianxiang has only one idea and idea now: find a new source of food and eliminate the possible hunger that may occur in the future. Therefore, he really agrees with the ancient proverb about "rabbit".

Only by cultivating resources at your doorstep can you use them when an emergency occurs. This practice is actually the same as storing large amounts of food. Although it may be a little difficult to obtain, the benefits are obvious. At least, the food obtained in this way is very fresh.

Make insects breed near their residences and hunt them reasonably. This is the most fundamental and simplest concept of "not eating grass beside the nest".

The skins peeled off from humans are indeed of good quality. They are tanned with ashes and feel very soft. Moreover, the warmth is also very good. Compared with the shoes made of giant locust skin before, there is a world of difference. Wearing such leather shoes, you won’t feel too cold when walking in the snow.

For several days, Tianxiang and Zhan Feng each took a team out for searching. Their request was very simple: just find as many places for gatherings of plant-eating insects as possible.

The search range is very large, centered on the base and has been expanded to all areas within a radius of ten kilometers. However, in Tianxiang's opinion, this range is still too small. According to his idea, at least the search range should be doubled on this basis. Because it is winter. Compared with other seasons where insects are crawling around, winter is cold, but it is quite safe.

Although Tianxiang and Zhan Feng were like two hard-working groundhogs, desperately looking for various gathering places that seemed to be insects. However, time would not stop and give them special preferential treatment. As the thick snow layer covering the ground slowly melted, the cold breath began to gradually dissipate. Everything was silently explaining to the hunters: winter was about to leave. The search activity must end. At least, it is impossible to go out in the form of a small team like now.

Tianxiang was very satisfied with the careful search for a month. Although it did not meet his requirements in terms of specific scope, it was already quite rich in terms of the results found.

To the south of the base, there is a brand of bare forest. Although the severe cold forces them to take off their green coats, as long as the warm spring comes, the trees will still emit tender green buds. It won’t take long to grow the lush and growing stems to form a brand of thick shade. This kind of place will always be a paradise for aphids.

To the north of the base, there are many mountain-like ruins formed by ancient buildings after collapse. Tianxiang used his thoughts to detect that under the scattered cement blocks, at least thousands of oil cockroaches were asleep. These insects make a living by eating garbage. Many things that seem inexplicably are delicious foods in their mouths. What is particularly unimaginable is that when you are extremely hungry, these guys with two huge black thyroid-shaped hard wings will even eat dry feces after they are excreted. Although the habit of this insect is really disgusting, every hunter has to admit that the white tender meat hidden under the shell of the oil cockroach is indeed quite tender.

The small river that winds through the city makes Tianxiang feel infinitely happy. People want to drink water, and insects also want to drink water. Therefore, there are areas on both sides of the river bank, and there are almost signs of insects moving. Even in the river, there are unexpected sources of food.

fish.

According to the ancients, fish is an animal with extremely delicious taste. This animal living in the water is quite abundant. In ancient history, it was once regarded as the main food of the ancients.

Of course there is no reason to let it go for such a good thing.

However, the shape of the fish is obviously quite different from the patterns that Tianxiang reads from ancient books. Have you ever seen a fish with four legs?

Strictly speaking, it should not be considered a foot, at most it can only be considered a webbing pulled by four muscles extending from the surface of the body.

But judging from its body structure, it has the prototype of the feet. Although it looks weird, it does not affect the delicious taste of the fish itself at all. Ye Zhanfeng's little couple made two pieces to make soup. Before it was fully cooked, it was already snatched away by everyone.

Even some fish bones that pierced humans were stuffed into their mouths and chewed them with relish.

It tastes delicious, but the danger of fishing is obviously much greater than that of insects. Although it is a small river, it is very deep after all, and those delicious fish will not be stupid enough to wait for you to catch. They have sharp teeth and are much more flexible when swimming in the water than humans. The most terrifying thing is that these fish are generally in groups. As long as they find any strange animals, they will rush up and instantly gnaw your succulent body into a skeleton that can only move freely with the jaw.

The fish that Zhan Feng got was purely accidental. He discovered this unexpected prey in a frozen puddle. Although it was difficult to capture, no matter what, it was a new food resource after all.

As for the trichinella that Tianxiang is most concerned about, they have also been found in several larger ruins. Although their population is far less than those hunted before, it can total up to a considerable number of three or four thousand. I believe that as long as this basic oyster is "raised" for a period of time, it can be doubled by the number of oysters.

The reproduction ability of insects is definitely far greater than that of any earth creature. The warm breath is approaching, and the thick white snow layer begins to reveal them. They have hidden the black earth for a winter. The transparent dripping ice cones hanging from all over the roof of the ruins seem to be unable to bear the weight of their bodies. On the one hand, they are slowly melting, while on the other hand, they are shaking, and can't wait to complete the final result of their complete insanity into the soil as soon as possible.

Spring is coming. During this period, the young patriarch seemed quite busy. He wanted to complete all the work he had in his hands while the weather had not yet fully warmed up. After all, raising insects is something that hunters never thought of.

The ruins, quite close to the base, have been selected as the place of the "worm circle". All we have to do seems to be just throwing the captured trichinid inside. The rest is to sit with your mouth open and wait to eat meat.

In fact, it is far from that simple. In terms of catching it, it is already quite difficult. The trichinidine with a body length close to the arm is vegetarian, but it does not mean that it will not bite people. It is easy to kill insects, but it can be done with a gun. But if you want to catch it without any injury, the difficulty will undoubtedly make you beat a single insect beast with bare hands.

The problem is that only living bugs can be raised.

Tian was worried about this for a long time, and Zhan Feng and Liu Rui had no choice. After all, they had never considered this kind of thing before. By chance, they pointed out an unexpected way out for Tianxiang.
