1942, I lived on hunting

Li Hao couldn't wait to go back to the tent and try the gene enhancing fluid, but he had to be cautious in the wild in this era. He held the slingshot in his hand and carefully observed the surrounding situation after walking a distance.

In the Taihang Mountains today, it is not just the various wild beasts that are dangerous. The forces of various warlords and bandits are intertwined! Some farmers who look honest at ordinary times, tear off their disguises at night and become kidnapping bandits. Some peddlers who look hospitable at ordinary times, but the other identity behind them is the spies of bullies. Many times, it is impossible to distinguish between good and bad people. Since the Eighth Route Army came to the Taihang Mountains and opened up the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Revolutionary Base, the situation has gradually improved. So compared to wild beasts, Li Hao is more afraid of people, unless the other party is our people's army! It's just that Li Hao doesn't know where he is now, let alone where to find the revolutionary team. However, with the original identity of this body as a traitor, if it is caught by our army, it is estimated that he will be shot directly.

Walking to the platform where the tent was placed, he could directly see the light blue tent from below. It was too conspicuous, so he planned to collect some branches and dry grass to use as a cover for the tent. At the very least, it should not attract attention without any cover. It would be better if it could be disguised so that someone passing by would not notice it if they did not observe carefully.

Li Hao found some wild grass and weaved them together with steel wire rope to make a rough straw mat. He also picked up some dead branches and put them into the space.

He climbed up onto the platform and covered the tent with a straw mat and secured it in place. He also roughly arranged the dead branches so that from a distance it looked like a bush of weeds and dead branches. If one did not look closely, one would not notice anything unusual.

Li Hao took off his shoes and lay down in the tent, then took out the gene enhancing liquid from the space. Looking at the shocking packaging, he felt a chill, but finally made up his mind, picked it up, bit open the package with his mouth, and drank it.

It felt cool in my stomach when I swallowed it, which was quite comfortable. It tasted like water, without any strange taste. Just when Li Hao was feeling lucky that this was not as disgusting as the liquid nutrition meal, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and he curled up and rolled around in pain.

"I'm dying, I'm dying! System, get out here!"

"What's wrong?"

"What kind of gene-enhancing fluid is this? Why does it hurt so much when I drink it?"

"Pain? This is normal. Didn't I tell you that it would be painful when the gene repair and enhancement is done?"

"You didn't say!"

"How much pain can you feel right now, Li Hao?"

"It feels like there are several iron hooks pulling at my stomach!"

"Just like that?"

"Isn't this painful enough?"

"You're still a long way from it! Next you'll feel your chest being hit by a sledgehammer, and then your head being sliced ​​like a watermelon. Oh, and when your whole body feels like it's being penetrated by a drill, that's about it!"

"You TM..., he MD..." Ten thousand words are omitted here!

Li Hao fainted from the pain, then woke up from the pain. From rolling on the ground at first to twitching all over now, it repeated over and over again. Li Hao felt like he had spent ten thousand years in difficulty. Finally, Li Hao calmed down, his body relaxed, and he stopped shaking. After a while, he began to snore evenly.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark outside and I had no idea what time it was.

Li Hao sat up and found obvious changes in his body. First of all, his head no longer hurt and he no longer felt dizzy. Li Hao touched the wound on his head and found that it was flat and there was no sign of injury at all. The big bump on the back of his head also disappeared, and the soreness after fatigue was gone. The muscles in his arms and legs were obviously bulging, and there were obvious muscle blocks in his abdomen. He shook his hands and felt that he seemed to have more strength than before, so he took out the slingshot and tried to pull it. This time he pulled the slingshot to the full bow easily. He was full of energy and no longer looked sick as he did yesterday.

It's worth mentioning that although the gene enhancement liquid almost made Li Hao die of pain, it was of great help to Li Hao's body. Not only did it repair his injuries, but it also brought about earth-shaking changes in his physical condition. It's just that it's not so obvious now. With the supplement of nutrition, the effect will gradually improve further.

Li Hao unzipped the tent door, wanting to check the position of the moon in the sky to determine the approximate time. He stuck his head out to observe, but did not see the moon. He wondered if it was blocked by the mountains!

When he came up to the platform today, he did not put away the thorny branches properly, so now he is afraid to continue sleeping for fear of being attacked by wild animals.

Lying in the tent bored, he opened the system again. As soon as he opened the system, it prompted that the 5-point subsidy had been received, and the account had a total of 360 points. Li Hao was ready to look through the mall to see if there was anything suitable for his current situation. Since points were no longer tight, he would buy the basic materials that needed to be purchased.

The last time Li Hao spent the night alone in the wild was the first time. The loneliness of the desolate world was so sad that he just wanted to have a fire. The importance of fire to human beings is self-evident. Fire can dispel darkness and make people no longer afraid in the dark. Li Hao had only seen people making fire by drilling wood in videos before. Every video said that drilling wood to make fire looks simple but difficult to do, so he didn't think he could make fire by drilling wood successfully. Li Hao planned to see if there were any cheaper fire-making tools in the mall, such as matches or lighters, so that he wouldn't have to work hard to make a fire.

Opening the tool area, he soon found a variety of fire-making tools, from various flints used by ancient people to match lighters used by modern people, and even magnesium rod flints for outdoor use. Li Hao looked at the prices. A set of flints is about 5-10 points, and a box of 100 matches is 30-50 points. The prices of lighters vary greatly, from the cheapest disposable lighters to various exquisite kerosene lighters, the price is between 100-500 points. Magnesium rod flints are not cheap either, and they are also about 100-500 points depending on the size.

Li Hao had never used a flint before, so he didn't know if it was useful, so he could rule it out. Matches weren't too expensive, but they were limited in quantity, while lighters and magnesium rod flints were a bit expensive. After thinking for a while, Li Hao didn't rush to buy them. Anyway, he didn't collect firewood today, so if he bought it now, he would have nothing to burn. It wouldn't be too late to buy it tomorrow when he needed it overnight.

During the day, Li Hao only ate a portion of unpalatable nutrient solution. When the gene enhancement solution improved his physical fitness, it used up the little energy provided by the nutrient solution in Li Hao's body. When he just woke up, Li Hao was still excited and immersed in the joy of his body's changes. He didn't feel anything. Now Li Hao began to feel empty in his stomach and was very hungry.

Li Hao opened the food section again, he wanted to find some food that was filling and affordable. He was very hungry, so he decided to buy the steamed buns he had seen last time. They were cheaper at 5 points each, and they were large and filling. After he was full, he would look at the food section carefully.

5 points were exchanged for a steamed bun. There were four buns in a bun, each the size of a fist. There were more than ten different fillings to choose from, but you could only choose one at a time, not multiple. Li Hao chose beef and green onion, and took a bite of half of it. It tasted good. The bun's skin was chewy and had a strong wheat aroma. The first bite was full of fragrance, the beef was tender, juicy, and the overflowing soup flowed down his fingers. Li Hao quickly sipped it, fearing that the delicious food would be wasted. After a while, Li Hao finished the four buns, and the hunger in his stomach gradually faded. He ate too fast and couldn't help burping, so he quickly took out the kettle and took a few sips to suppress it.

When he was browsing the food section yesterday, he only took a quick look because he was in a hurry. Now that he has time, he will look carefully to see if there is any cheap and affordable food that is suitable for him. Even if buns are delicious, he can't eat them all the time.

First, I looked through the common snacks and fast food. The prices were not particularly high, but they were not affordable either. For example, a Lanzhou beef noodle or a Guangdong fried rice noodle required 15 points, which was the same price as a pork trotter rice, but for this price, I could buy three steamed buns. Moreover, the price of steamed buns was the same regardless of the filling, which was basically impossible in reality. Even for steamed buns, the famous ones provided by the system were much more expensive. For example, Tianjin Goubuli steamed buns, Beijing Qingfeng steamed buns, Kaifeng soup dumplings, Jiangsu crab roe buns, etc. required at least 15 points per serving.

The system also provides various hot pots, casseroles, and stews, all with prices starting at 100 points.

All kinds of home-cooked dishes such as braised spareribs, boiled pork slices, boiled fish, Maoxuewang, and pickled fish all start at 100 points.

Cold dishes are cheaper than stir-fried dishes and hot pot, and the prices vary greatly depending on whether you choose meat or vegetables, so it doesn’t feel particularly affordable.

After searching for a long time, I found only some roujiamo, beef pies, and various baked naan breads that were cheaper, each costing 5 points.

Li Hao sighed, he didn't have many points now. When he had more points in the future, if he felt hungry, he would eat something better to improve his diet. Normally, he would just have to make do with the steamed buns and pancakes!

Li Hao grew up in the peaceful era of the later generations. He has never suffered the hardships of the older generation. He has never been hungry since he was a child. He doesn't know that the food he eats now is something that the disaster victims outside the mountain can only dream of. If he communicates with the common people of this era now, he will find that his ideas are worth thunder and lightning. In this era and this special period, even the landlords dare not expect to eat beef buns and meat sandwiches every day! Nowadays, ordinary landlord families also eat thin food when they are free and dry food when they are busy. They have land, livestock, and stored grain at home, so they don't have to worry about starving. Usually, there is not much oil and water to exploit ordinary people. Tenants who don't have their own land are more miserable. The family grows land and harvests grain for the landlords, cuts grass and herds cattle, feeds pigs and chickens, and has no free time all year round. It's okay to meet a kind landlord, at least you can survive with enough food and clothing, but where can you find so many kind landlords? If you encounter a black-hearted landlord, you will work like a horse for a whole year, but when you settle the accounts at the end of the year, you will be in debt! You will be forced to sell your children, and end up with a tragic ending of separation from your wife and children, and the family will be broken up. There are also some powerful landlords who are responsible for collecting taxes, assigning labor, and conscription. They are really cruel when they cheat the people! The people can't bear it.
