Chapter 407 Status Quo
In Montana, USA, a shoddy wooden house in an unknown deep mountain forest.
"Jimmy, I'm back!" A slanted door made an unpleasant sound. A tall young man walked in and carried a big deer on his shoulders still on the ground, and quickly walked towards the broken bed.
"Victor!" The child wearing a shabby red pajama on the bed woke up in a daze and screamed vaguely.
The two of them escaped from Sir Logan, the two brothers Wolverine and Sabertooth Tiger, but their current condition is obviously not very good. James' awakening of ability is that his body has entered a period of rapid development, and the price of not keeping up with nutrition is to fall into a weak coma again.
Victor knew that Jimmy was his younger brother since he was a child, so he always acted as a guardian. Now that his younger brother is in trouble, he certainly needs to find a way to solve the problem as an older brother.
Therefore, after Victor ran away with James on his back for a week, he finally decided to live here temporarily and wait until his younger brother's health is better. Although Montana is not much warmer than Canada, the physique of both mutants does not take this cold seriously. So the fundamental problem is still food.
However, after Victor tried to hunt a few times, this problem was completely solved. Although there was a little unsuccessful situation in the first few times, the weak James was hungry for a few days, the later results also proved that any animal on the earth was given in vain in front of the saber-toothed tiger with perverted vitality.
So the two brothers took root in this place for a while. It was good to have food and drink along the mountains and rivers. The only thing they were worried about was James' stomach that could never be filled. Every time he saw his younger brother still unconscious after a meal, he felt more and more uncomfortable.
Of course, this is not the case, and the animals in the forest will suffer. This is also the mid-19th century. The forests have not been developed at all, and the animal density is quite good. If it were in the 21st century... Humph... this area of creatures would have been so great.
However, these things were not in vain. In less than two months, both of them had undergone tremendous changes in their body shapes. James had obviously grown taller. Victor's face was no longer as young as a boy, and he had developed a strong muscle because he had been hunting empty-handed in the mountains and forests for a long time. It seemed that his body had developed to the extreme.
"Hey, brother, how did you feel today? Are you getting better?" Victor rubbed the blood on his hands casually on his body, and looked up and smiled.
James rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him, and pointed directly at the deer under his feet.
In fact, his power has not been fully induced. After every meal, he has to endure a numb and itchy feeling for two or three hours. He originally thought that this was his long-term illness recurrence. But when he saw that the originally loose pajama was obviously shorter, he realized that it was the feeling of bone growth. This feeling was very uncomfortable, but he never screamed. Whenever that feeling came, he gritted his teeth tightly. Because he knew that due to his situation, Victor had done his best now. He could not make his burden worse.
Victor, who had made his senses tens of times more sensitive, didn't know what kind of pain his younger brother was suffering, but he also knew that such a thing would definitely not help him. The only thing he could help was to make his food richer.
Victor looked at James closing his eyes again, smiled and turned his head to pick up the big deer with at least seventeen forks on his head, and walked out with great strides.
Although the little houses of the two brothers were not well established, the place they chose was still very good. A flat land near the rocks on the hillside. After walking down twenty or thirty meters, a mountain spring passed by. Although the stream was shallow, it was absolutely enough to make fish and shrimps alive, but it was definitely enough to get water and live.
Of course, Victor is not the kind of person who is too lazy to even get water, but they can't find a tool that can hold water all over their bodies. Every time they handle food, they will get prey to the edge of the stream. Fortunately, they are both carnivorous animals. They have never had any vegetables and don't notice any problems. It would be easier to deal with it in the stream. If you want to wash rice in the stream, look at Victor's sharp claws that can easily pierce the alloy steel. I guess there will be no few left in the end.
He skillfully put the big deer on the edge of the stream, slowly poked out his claws and stroked it casually, and the entire deer head fell down. He carefully placed the deer head aside and repeatedly wrapped it with a few huge leaves - this is the bait for hunting tomorrow.
Cut off the head and put the blood clean, cut the stomach and take out the internal organs, and clean the prey repeatedly. This is the finish.
Tear the internal organs into pieces and throw them into the stream to wash them away. He didn't worry about piled up below, because he knew that the end of the stream was a huge lake, and the fish and shrimp inside liked this kind of fishy smell the most, and it would be wiped out if it was used overnight.
With his left hand holding the deer head, he was holding the leaves, and his body was about 200 strong under his arm. Victor held his head up while walking back. After a while, Victor paused and a little smile appeared on his face.
He quickly walked to the pre-determined dead tree, threw down the things in his hand, left a few steps and roared suddenly, and rushed towards the dead tree.
"Boom!" A muffled sound came from afar.
"Crack!" The dead wood fell down neatly.
Victor climbed up with a wheel, nodded in satisfaction, and pointed to a knife and quickly cut the branches.
This dead tree is the fuel for tonight, and it depends on it for cooking, lighting and heating.
The jungle life in the past two months has made him well-versed in cooking. Although so far, he only has barbecue one method, at least one thing he understands. That is, to drill wood to make fire, tiny branches to ignite.
Don’t underestimate this inconspicuous knowledge point. This is the knowledge he discovered unexpectedly after being hungry for three days and then nibbled raw meat for another day.
Of course, you can't cook in the room. Not only is the flame posing a hidden danger to the wooden house, but there is also... there is not such a big place in the room. It's really good to call this wooden house, because it was simply piled up by Victor with big trunks. It looks quite small outside, but in fact, it's full of stuffing on two beds inside.
Seeing that the flames finally ignited under the simple grill, Victor wiped the black and gray on his face, turned around and looked at his younger brother who was still lying on the bed, with a smile on his face.
Today I can make him full again, Jimmy, you should get better soon!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as Victor was in deep thought as he watched the firelight, he didn't expect their actions to be seen by the group.
"It's been two months now!" Wang Zheng sighed: "Sure enough, just judging from the plot is inaccurate. Victor is definitely a competent brother."
Jin Liuniang nodded and said, "According to my calculations, it will take another month for Wolverine's body to develop, but the large animals in that jungle are almost killed by Victor. I wonder how long they can stay there."
"Attention at any time!" Wang Zheng slowly leaned on the back of the chair and said lightly: "Just know where they are. You don't have to interfere with any situation. Anyway, they will not have any impact on us in the past few decades."
"Yes, sir!" Jin Liuniang nodded and straightened her head to eliminate the light screen in front of her.
At this time, the front window was gently opened, and Xiaomeng's little face appeared on it, and said crisply: "Sir, Mr. Carlos said it was late and he asked to stop and camp."
"Camp again! I'll go!" Wang Zheng blurted out, "Has this grandson walked thirty kilometers today? He walked forward one by one, and he had been walking for two months. He could get there when he was on the top!"
"No wonder!" Jin Liuniang smiled and said, "He was originally the only son of the count. He has been carried by a group of people since he was a child. He is spoiled and frugal. Don't go far. I guess he has never even been out of Ottawa after he came by boat. It's great to be able to last for two months with you now!"
"I hate 1845!" Wang Zheng gritted his teeth and cursed, then sighed, waved his hand to Xiao Meng, and said, "Take it! If he wants to stab it, let it pierce it!"
Yes, in 1845, the railways in Canada had not yet begun to be laid on a large scale, and most of them were used in coal mines. Therefore, when they came back, they could only make carriages. In addition to the burden of buying those slaves and Carlos's spoiledness, the more than 1,000 kilometers had not been completed after walking for more than 60 days.
"It's soon, it's soon!" Jin Liuniang looked at Wang Zheng's almost twisted expression and quickly comforted her: "It's very close, and there are less than forty kilometers. If nothing unexpected happens, Carlos will be arranged to sleep in the room tomorrow night!"
Here were fifty or sixty brown-skinned Indians slowly appeared around the carriage, skillfully building the camp under Carl's training. A strong man, who was obviously two heads taller than the others, was holding a stone more than one person in his hand, smashing the main beam of the fixed tent one by one.
That's right, these fifty or sixty people were slaves bought by Wang Zheng in the slave market through Carlos's relationship. And that strong man, of course, was the biggest gain from buying slaves that time.
The strong man has no name, but he is obviously a mutant. He himself can't explain his specific abilities. The main manifestations are his infinite strength and thick skin, which is a bit similar to the combination of the powerful Vajra and the Vajra Indestructible Body. Wang Zheng was very fond of this stupid man and gave him a slightly cute name called Jincoin. It also expressed that he spent a lot of money when buying him.
While Wang Zheng was stunned, Jin Liuniang poked Wang Zheng and said, "Don't stay there, the gold coins have already prepared the main tent. You can go down!"
