Chapter 1054 - 1097: Lizards and Scorpions as Food
Chapter 1054: Chapter 1097: Lizards and Scorpions as FoodXu Shanshan finally fell asleep, but the saintly woman hadn’t. Lowering her voice, she said, "Yifei, is the chance of us surviving and getting out of the desert very slim?"
Li Yifei, careful not to wake Xu Shanshan and more importantly, to not shake her morale, responded honestly to the saintly woman, whose willpower was evidently strong, "Indeed, but it’s not completely hopeless. It all depends on our luck now. If there’s no rescue, with the water we have left, I can guarantee to sustain us for a week. We must leave during this week or find a water source to replenish our supplies."
The saintly woman spoke softly, "A week, I hope our luck isn’t that bad."
"If we were outside, a week would suffice for many things, but here in the desert, unable to discern direction, lacking water and food, we’ll face many difficulties."
"Oh, then I’ll trust you. You’ll definitely lead us out."
"Mm, I definitely do not want to die; I still have so many things left undone."
"That’s right, you have so many wives at home. If you died, they would all be widows. Hehe, what you’re probably most worried about isn’t them being widows, but them marrying someone else, which would hurt you even more."
"Hehe, yes, so I cannot die. I must get out, for them, and I must bring you two with me. Now, let’s sleep. Sleep reduces consumption."
"Mm." The saintly woman agreed, then stopped talking. Soon, both she and Li Yifei fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, as temperatures rose, the three woke up one after another. Li Yifei, the first to awaken, crawled out of their small, cool shelter and took another round near the plane wreckage, hoping to find something valuable. However, finding absolutely nothing but charred remains, especially of the bodies, would have made anyone else feel nauseous, unless they were as mentally resilient as him.
While the sun was not yet strong and the ground still retained some coolness, Li Yifei
He tore up more than twenty of the thirty lizards and let them eat. Xu Shanshan consumed more than ten but was still hungry, looking at the remaining ones and pleading, "Brother-in-law, I still want to eat."
Li Yifei shook his head, "Let’s save these for daytime. If you want more, we’ll have to catch them tomorrow morning. This is all we have for today’s food."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shanshan and the holy woman could no longer insist on eating, fully realizing the stark reality of their hunger. They truly did not want to experience it any further.
