Master of Thermodynamics

Chapter 9 Jerky

The next two people started to get busy, and there were three main things they had to do.

The first thing is to find a safe hiding place.

When Moose returns to look for them, he will definitely return to the place where the three people were scattered, so this location must not be far from the scattered place.

Renault considered for a while, and set the hiding place in an area not too far from the black orc corpse.

The reason is simple, the most dangerous place is actually the safest place!

If the black orcs saw the corpse of their companion, they would probably think that the two had escaped far away, rather than that they had the courage to hide in place.

As for the specific hiding place, Renault decisively abandoned the method of finding shelter on the ground.

Because of the corpses of these black orcs, beasts will definitely be attracted! God knows what ghosts will attract at that time, if a powerful predator comes, it would be too dangerous to stay on the ground.

In addition, if you have to wait a long time and need to spend the night in the forest, the most dangerous thing is not the wild beasts, and those humble insects, especially some very poisonous little things.

There are things like magic in this world, maybe even insects have all sorts of incredible abilities.

So the safest place is the tree!

The number of insects on the tree is often far less than that on the ground, and most of the beasts that move on the tree are small beasts. With the combat power of two people, it is not difficult to deal with them.

The trees in this world are extremely tall, towering giant trees with a height of more than 50 meters are everywhere, and the two can choose a higher place to hide, especially now in summer, the trees are luxuriant, which greatly increases the concealment.

When the black orcs are searching, they rarely think of staring at the sky, and it is even more impossible to look at every tree carefully.

The two spent more than 2 hours choosing a giant tree with a height of more than 70 meters, climbing to a place nearly 40 meters high, using branches and vines to build a simple shelter, and using a lot of leaves to make enough Cover up to ensure that it will not be easily discovered.

Thus, the most important thing is solved.

The second thing is water and food.

Since the waiting time may be as long as a week, sufficient water and food must be prepared.

The water is easy to solve. They obtained 4 water bags from the black orcs who were killed, plus it had just rained, and water sources were everywhere.

For the sake of hygiene, Renault even stubbornly used his abilities to heat the water again, and Angela couldn’t laugh or cry.

If all of this water is consumed, Renault can use [Reverse Heat Conduction] to create a low-temperature area. Under the action of condensation, it is not difficult to collect enough drinking water.

As for food, Renault originally planned to collect the dry food from the black orcs, and he found a lot of dried meat on the corpse.

But Angela strongly opposes this practice and prohibits him from doing it, because according to rumors, many of the jerky made by the black orcs are human flesh!

Reynolds thought for a while, tending to believe this kind of rumors, because logically deduced, this kind of statement has a very high possibility.

The black beasts are tall and large, and at first glance they have a standard canteen size. They have a great demand for food. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, they must also consume enough protein.

In other words, there must be enough meat. Such an army must have extremely high logistics 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 with food and clothing!

According to his understanding, no human kingdom has sufficient food. Various countries often suffer from famines. It is news that no famine occurs on that day!

Coupled with the ongoing wars, agriculture has been greatly damaged, and food production is far less than in previous years.

The black orcs come from farther north, where the latitude is higher, the climate is cold and the light is insufficient, and the food production will only be lower. The black orcs are significantly more fertile than humans. Due to the limited food, they even have a tradition of infanticide.

They do not have enough food in their own country, and it is even more impossible to transport food from the north to thousands of miles.

Therefore, the black orc army can only obtain food on the spot!

But in the Kingdom of Fox and the Kingdom of Mushan, many people are already running out of food. Where can there be so much jerky?

In addition to human flesh, Renault couldn’t think of the second possibility. What’s more, for the Black Orcs, humans are just alien races. To list humans as recipes, there is no major psychological barrier for them!

Then who would the black orcs make jerky? Renault immediately thought of the answer-a human slave!

The end of being a slave is really miserable. Not only does it have to do countless heavy physical tasks and suffer cruel abuse, but it may also become the ration of the black orcs at any time.

This terrible world is really crueler than imagined!

After excluding the dry food of the black orcs, the only choice left is to collect food from the forest.

But this didn’t bother Renault. He cut a few pieces of flesh and blood from the black orc’s corpse, and used it as a bait to attract a few animals that looked like squirrels, but they were much larger in size.

Once these poor little animals enter Renault’s sight, they are destined to become food for the two.

With his current total amount of magic energy, [Reverse Heat Conduction] can heat the air nearly 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 dried meat, the hair on their bodies suddenly burned and burned to death. Then, under the continuous baking of hot air, they turned into a large piece of dried meat.

It was only at this moment that Renault suddenly realized that [reverse heat conduction] this ability is simply the best auxiliary ability for home travel and murder!

After hoarding enough water and food for a week, the two began to do the third thing-mark the tree.

Angela’s mark is a kind of strange symbol, these symbols mean to guide Moos to find the route of the two.

Regarding the origin of these symbols, in her own words, this is the secret language within their family, used to convey some confidential information.

If it’s a native “Renault”, you may not think it has anything. But in the eyes of Renault, who is from the earth and baptized by all kinds of information, the existence of this “secret language” alone means that Angela’s identity is not simple. .

What kind of family needs to use such things as secret words?

The ordinary little nobles may not use it, most of them are the kind of high-ranking nobles!

When Angela followed Muss to flee south, she was not more than 8 years old, that is to say, when she was a child, she began to systematically study the family’s confidential text!

Knowing this, Angela’s true identity is ready to be revealed!

She is very likely to come from a large noble family, and is a pampered noble lady!

It is a pity that with the invasion of the Black Orcs, all the blooming flowers disappeared, and the girl fell from the clouds to the dust overnight, and now she was even reduced to a company with an orphan from the bottom of the society, struggling to survive together.

The two made many marks on the tree trunks within one kilometer, most of which were located in relatively hidden corners. Moose would definitely check this place carefully when he returned. He had a great chance of spotting the marks.

Even considering that the black orcs might rush to find the mark in front of Moose, in order to mislead the black orcs, the two have made a lot of false marks. If the orcs move along these marks, they will only get farther and farther away.

After finishing all the work, the two have only one thing to do-wait!
