Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 9 Dried Meat
Then the two began to get busy, and there were three main things they had to do.
First thing, find a safe hiding place.
Since when Moose returns to look for them, he will definitely return to the place where the three of them were scattered, so this location must be not far from the scattered place to facilitate Moose's search.
Renault considered for a while, and decided to hide in an area not too far from the black orc's corpse.
The reason is simple, the most dangerous place is actually the safest place!
If the black orcs returned and saw the corpses of their companions, they would probably think that the two had fled far away, and would not think that the two still had the guts to hide where they were.
As for the specific hiding place, Renault decisively abandoned the method of finding a shelter on the ground.
Because the corpses of these black orcs will definitely attract wild beasts! God knows what the hell will be attracted at that time, if a powerful predator comes, it is too dangerous to stay on the ground.
Another point is that if you have to wait for a long time and need to spend the night in the forest, the most dangerous thing is not the wild beasts, but those inconspicuous little insects, especially some very poisonous little things.
There is such a thing as mana in this world, maybe even insects have all kinds of incredible abilities.
So the safest place is on the tree!
The number of insects on the trees is often far less than that on the ground, and most of the beasts that can move in the trees are also small beasts. With the strength of two people, it is not too difficult to deal with them.
Moreover, the trees in this world are extremely tall, towering giant trees with a height of more than 50 meters are everywhere, and the two of them can choose a higher place to hide, especially now that it is summer, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and it is a great addition. Concealment.
When the black orcs were searching, they rarely thought of staring at the sky, and it was even more impossible to carefully examine the crowns of every tree.
The two spent more than 2 hours choosing a giant tree with a height of more than 70 meters, climbed to a height of nearly 40 meters, built a simple shelter with branches and vines, and made enough shelter with a lot of leaves. Cover up so you won't be easily spotted.
So, the most important thing is solved.
The second thing, water and food.
Since the waiting time may be as long as a week or as short as 1 or 2 days, they must prepare enough water and food.
Water is easy to solve. They obtained 4 water bags from the black orcs who were killed. In addition, it has just rained, and water sources are everywhere.
For the sake of hygiene, Renault even stubbornly used his ability to heat up the water, which made Angela dumbfounded.
If all the water is consumed, Renault can use [Reverse Heat Conduction] to create a low-temperature area. Under the effect of condensation, it is not difficult to collect enough drinking water.
As for food, Lei Nuo originally planned to collect dry food from the black orcs, and he found a lot of dried meat on the corpses.
But Angela strongly opposed this practice and forbade him to do so, because according to rumors, many of the jerky made by the Black Orcs were human flesh!
Renault thought for a while, and tended to believe this rumor, because logically deduced, this statement has a very high possibility.
The black orcs are tall and big, and they look like standard rice buckets. They have a great demand for food, and in order to ensure their combat effectiveness, they must also consume enough protein, that is to say, they must have enough meat. An army of idiots must have extremely high logistical requirements.
But the problem is that the productivity of this world at this stage is only equivalent to the middle ages of the earth, and most people are struggling on the verge of food and clothing!
According to his understanding, there is no human kingdom with sufficient food, and there are often famines in various countries. It is news that there is no famine on that day!
In addition, now that wars are raging everywhere,
Agriculture has been greatly damaged, and food production is far less than in previous years.
Black orcs come from places farther north, where the latitude is higher, the climate is cold and the sunlight is insufficient, and the food production will only be lower. However, the fecundity of black orcs is significantly stronger than that of humans. Due to limited food, they even generally have the tradition of drowning babies. This reduces the population.
They don't have enough food in their own country, and it is even more impossible to transport food from the north for thousands of miles.
Therefore, the black orc army can only obtain food on the spot!
But in Fox Kingdom and Mushan Kingdom, many people can't get enough to eat. Where did so much jerky come from?
Apart from human flesh, Renault couldn't think of a second possibility, not to mention that to the Black Orcs, humans are just a foreign race, and there is no big psychological obstacle for them to list humans as a recipe!
Who will the black orcs make into jerky? Renault immediately thought of the answer - human slaves!
The fate of being a slave is really miserable. Not only do you have to do countless heavy physical work and suffer cruel abuse, but you may also become the ration of the black orcs at any time.
This terrible world is really crueler than imagined!
After excluding the black orc's dry food, the only choice left for the two of them was to collect food from the forest.
However, this did not bother Renault. He cut a few pieces of flesh from the black orc's corpse, made it into jerky, and then used it as bait to attract several animals that looked like squirrels, but the size was smaller. A lot of hypertrophy.
Once these poor little animals came into Renault's sight, they were destined to become the rations of the two.
With his current total amount of magic energy, [Reverse Heat Conduction] can heat the air up to 30 meters away, but the consumption of magic energy is relatively large, but it is more than enough to deal with these small animals.
When they approached the jerky, the hair on their bodies burned instantly, and they were directly burned to death. Then, under the continuous baking of the hot air, they turned into a large piece of jerky.
It wasn't until this moment that Renault suddenly realized that the ability of [Reverse Heat Conduction] is simply the best auxiliary ability for traveling at home, killing people and stealing goods!
After hoarding enough water and food for a week, the two started to do the third thing-marking the tree.
The marker used by Angela is a strange symbol, and the meaning of these symbols is to guide Moose to find the route of the two.
Regarding the origin of these symbols, in her own words, this is a secret language within their family, specially used to convey some confidential information.
If it is the native "Reynolds", he may not think it is a big deal, but in the view of Reynolds who came from the earth and has been baptized by various information, the existence of this "secret language" alone means that Angela's identity is not simple .
What kind of family needs to use something like secret language?
Ordinary minor aristocrats may not use it, most of them are the kind of high-ranking and powerful aristocrats!
When Angela fled south with Mu Si, she was not more than 8 years old. That is to say, when she was still a child, she had already started to systematically learn the family's secret words!
Knowing this, Angela's true identity is ready to be revealed!
She is very likely to be from a noble family, and she is a pampered noble lady!
It's a pity that with the invasion of the black orcs, all the beautiful flowers disappeared, and overnight, the girl fell from the clouds to the dust, and now she even fell into the company of an orphan at the bottom of society, and the two struggled together Survive.
The two made many marks on the tree trunks within a radius of one kilometer, most of which were located in relatively hidden corners. Moose would definitely check this place carefully when he returned, and he had a great chance of finding these marks.
Even considering that the Black Orc might find the mark ahead of Moose, in order to mislead the Black Orc, the two made many consecutive false marks. If the Orc followed these marks, it would only get farther and farther away from them.
After finishing all the work, there is only one thing for the two of them to do next - wait!
