Don't Starve, my items can be upgraded

Chapter 6: Finally full

With an instant burst of energy, the wild wolf crossed a distance of seven or eight meters in one go.

"puff!"

Yang Chen pressed the button suddenly, and a nail instantly shot into the wild wolf's eyes. Then he raised his foot suddenly and kicked the wild wolf that pounced on his head away.

"Ow—"

The wild wolf, which was kicked and shot in one eye, rolled over, quickly got up and pounced forward. There was no time to escape at such a close distance, and the only thing it could do was kill its prey.

Yang Chen jumped up, and when the wild wolf pounced on him, he suddenly lay on his back to avoid being bitten, and fired the nail gun in his hand at the neck of the wild wolf that passed over his body.

"puff!"

Most of the nail was inserted into the wolf's neck.

At the same time, he slashed the wolf's belly with his right hand holding the broken knife.

But the broken knife was too blunt and failed to cut open the entire abdomen.

The wild wolf landed three meters away and ran forward without slowing down.

"Want to run?!"

Yang Chen quickly turned over and aimed at the wild wolf's raised forelimb and fired a nail.

"puff!"

A small part of the nail penetrated into the leg bone. The wolf's front limbs lost strength and it rolled over due to inertia, with its head facing this side.

"puff!"

Yang Chen aimed at the opponent's eyes again and shot the nail, directly blinding his other eye.

"puff!"

"puff!"

He fired nails one after another, mainly aiming at the wolf's head and neck, until the last nail was shot.

Finally, the wild wolf stopped moving.

Waves of extremely strong dizziness came over me, and the light in my vision quickly dimmed.

Yang Chen relied on his willpower to hold on, picked up Peng Min's wooden spear, rushed over, and fiercely stabbed the wild wolf's neck with the spear.

"Ow..."

The wild wolf pretending to be dead screamed, struggling to open its bloody mouth, but Yang Chen stepped on its head and kept thrusting the wooden spear down.

Finally, the wild wolf died completely.

Yang Chen suddenly felt that the light in his vision darkened, leaving only black and white.

In this picture in black and white, he saw Peng Min in the pit crawling up in panic.

“Yang Chen…”

The calling voice seemed very far away, yet it seemed as if it was right next to my ear.

Yang Chen was not completely unconscious, his consciousness was still clear, but his body seemed to be out of control.

Due to long-term malnutrition and severe overdraft of his energy, spirit and physical strength, his body has reached its limit.

He felt, after about a few minutes, a hot, smelly liquid slid into his throat and into his abdomen.

Then, with the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, streams of warm currents continue to flow from the abdomen to all parts of the body.

After his exhausted body functions were replenished by this warm current, they began to recover slowly.

Finally, he regained control of his body. When he forced himself to open his eyes, he saw Peng Min constantly feeding him wolf blood with his hands.

"You finally woke up, are you okay?"

Peng Min's panicked face showed joy, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yang Chen also "left", leaving her alone, it wouldn't be long before she would definitely die miserably.

Yang Chen did not answer. He struggled to get up, pounced on the dead wolf next to him, bit the wolf's neck that Peng Min had cut open, and began to suck its blood.

Finally, streams of smelly blood flowed down his throat and turned into a constant stream of warm current to replenish his body functions.

He didn't stop until he was full.

"Is this the feeling of having a full stomach? I haven't experienced this in years. It's really comfortable!"

He grinned and said, "Drink quickly too. Don't waste it. If it's not enough, eat meat. Eat as much as you can. The most difficult time is over."

It was indeed difficult for a team of only two people, especially during the period when he needed to expend his energy to strengthen his nail gun.

The departure of Kang Yuanyuan, Huang Qing and three others was indeed adding insult to injury for them.

However, the most difficult time has passed, and after today, they will no longer have to work so hard.

"Uh-huh!"

Peng Min was also full of surprise.

With this wild wolf, I can definitely hold on until Yang Chen becomes stronger.

Thinking of this in her mind, she also rushed over to drink the blood, to prevent the wolf's blood from flowing to the ground and seeping into the soil and being wasted.

Yang Chen quickly refilled the nail gun with nails, handed the broken knife to Peng Min to deal with the wolf meat, and then walked towards the pit next to him: "I'm going to sleep for a while, you cover the blood with soil, and bury the body next to it, so as not to attract dangerous creatures. I can deal with the rest after I wake up."

"If anything goes wrong, you must wake me up immediately. By the way, don't throw away the nails in the wolf's corpse."

"Okay." Peng Min answered while continuing to drink the wolf's blood.

Yang Chen came to the pit and lay down, covering his body with mud, and covering his head with animal skins, then holding the nail gun in one hand, he fell asleep in less than three seconds.

When he woke up again, the sun had already sunk below the horizon and it was almost dark.

I actually slept for the entire day.

"Are you awake?" Peng Min asked in surprise.

She had dark circles under her eyes and was obviously very sleepy.

However, since they had replenished their food and were full and satisfied, this little sleepiness was nothing to the people in the wilderness.

Because many times, the refugees have to travel long distances for two or three days, and as long as they have food, they can keep going until they die of exhaustion.

Yang Chen stretched and climbed out of the pit, feeling refreshed: "I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time. Nothing happened during this period of time, right?"

"No, I've been watching." Peng Min said. "That's good."

Yang Chen glanced around and discovered that Peng Min had actually cut the wolf meat into slices and placed them on some stones to dry.

She also peeled off the wolf skin completely, and it was almost dried after a whole day.

"It was too hot during the day and I was worried that the meat would go bad, so I cut it into slices and dried it into jerky."

Peng Min explained: "We should have no problem with food for the next few days, but we are running low on water. If we move around during the day, we will lose a lot of water, and we don't know when it will rain again."

It happens to be the dry season now. Sometimes it doesn't rain for ten days or half a month. If we're unlucky, the drought may last for a month or two.

In that situation, even the evolvers might die of thirst.

The last time it rained was more than ten days ago. If you can find some low-lying areas or cracks in the ground, there is a chance to find water.

But that depends on luck. After all, scavengers will not stay in the same place for a long time, and water alone is not enough.

"Let's look for other teams of evolvers tonight and see if we can get some water."

Yang Chen put away the bloody nails beside him and said, “Pack up and get ready to go. By the way, are all the wolf bones here?”

He checked the bones piled on the side, but found that these wolf bones were very ordinary and there was no bone that contained energy.

"Yeah, they're all here. By the way, I also found those nails you shot at those people before." Peng Min said.

Yang Chen nodded, and then he and Peng Min took back the raw meat slices that were placed on the stone to dry, and put them into the dried wolf skin.

They didn't throw away the wolf bones. If they could exchange them for water, they could use them to make bone soup.

Although they cannot bite the wolf's bones, they can boil out the nutrients inside.

Come to think of it, he almost forgot how long it had been since he had eaten cooked food.

While collecting the raw meat slices, he ate them and replenished his food because he had to continue strengthening the nail gun later.

As long as he has a steady supply of food, he won't have to overdraw his energy.

"Eat if you're hungry. Don't be afraid of wasting food. We've been malnourished for too long. We need to replenish our nutrition first to avoid fainting next time."

Yang Chen said: "We can go hunting in the future, and we will never lack food again."

"Ok, I know."

Peng Min replied: "I ate a lot today and I'm still full. I ate all the internal organs. Please don't blame me."

Yang Chen glanced around and found that not only were there no internal organs, but even the feces of the wild wolf could not be found.

On the contrary, there seems to be almost no shortage of wolf meat.

He nodded and said nothing.

Soon, they packed the wolf meat and bones into wolf skins, took everything, and headed towards the direction where the mountain could be vaguely seen.

Not long after the two left, a figure approached quickly from a distance.

The man had sunken eyes and a crazy look. He twitched his nose and murmured unconsciously, "Food... I smell food..."

Soon, he came to the place where Peng Min buried the bodies of the refugees, and dug quickly with his hands, digging out a human head.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "It's really food, I don't have to starve to death..."

The next moment, there were sounds of gnawing and chewing.

……

"This direction seems to be the direction where we saw the bonfire last night."

Peng Min said: "We should be leaving the Gobi Desert soon. To be honest, I don't know what it's like outside."

"Not necessarily. Maybe it's just a small hill. This is the case in most areas I've visited in the past few years."

Yang Chen said: “Outside are mountains after mountains, but I have never walked out, and the closest I have been to a mountain area was dozens of kilometers away.”

“Only a few dozen kilometers?”

Peng Min was curious: "Why didn't you go into the mountains? There should be more food in the mountains, right? Apart from other things, there should be more grass roots than in the Gobi Desert."

“There are more dangers.”

Yang Chen explained: “Ferocious beasts often appear in the mountains. If you’re unlucky, you might even encounter strange beasts.”

"Exotic beast?"

Peng Min asked in confusion: "Is there any difference between them and wild beasts?"

"The wild wolf I killed today is a ferocious beast. Almost all carnivorous animals are ferocious beasts. But I was lucky to have encountered a lone wild wolf, because most wild wolves move in packs."

Yang Chen said: "Ferocious beasts are ordinary animals, while strange beasts are considered evolvers, and they can use all kinds of strange abilities."

Peng Min was surprised: "It seems that mountainous areas are indeed much more dangerous."

"Rather, because there's a lot of food."

Yang Chen said: “When I was very young, I saw many barbarians escaping from the mountainous areas. Those who escaped were very strong. I heard that most of the evolvers would go into the mountainous areas.”

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Now I have become an evolver too. If we can get out of the Gobi Desert, we can go to the mountains. Then we won't have to worry about not finding prey."

"Uh-huh."

Peng Min looked expectant, and then smiled and said, "If Kang Yuanyuan and the others knew that you had become an Evolver, they would definitely regret it, right?"

"I gave them a chance, but they didn't take it seriously."

As Yang Chen spoke, he continued to create Qi-derived Strengthening Nail Guns.

During this process, he would put slices of raw meat into his mouth from time to time to replenish his food so as to avoid overdrawing his energy again.

He didn't know if it was a special skill that appeared after evolution, but he found that as long as his energy was consumed, the speed of food digestion in his stomach would increase.

After all, his special ability requires the consumption of energy. Perhaps speeding up the digestion of food is also part of his special ability.

It was getting dark.

The two of them did not slow down at all.

The night is getting darker.

Finally, as they approached the mountain they had seen earlier, the nail guns were upgraded again.

At this time, both of them were surprised to find that at the foot of the mountain, there was a large area of ​​bonfires.
