Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 8
The next two people began to get busy, they have three main things to do.
First, find a safe hiding place.
When Muse returns to look for them, he will return to the place where the three people were scattered, so this position must not be far away from the scattered place.
Renault thought for a while and set the escape position in an area not too far away from the black Orc body.
The reason is very simple. The most dangerous place is actually the safest place.
If the black orcs see the corpses of their companions, they will think that they have escaped far away, but they will not think that they have the courage to stay where they are.
As for the specific escape location, Renault resolutely abandoned the method of finding shelter on the ground.
Because the bodies of these black orcs will definitely attract wild animals! God knows what the hell will come. In case of a powerful predator, it''s too dangerous to stay on the ground.
In addition, if the waiting time is very long and you need to spend the night in the forest, the most dangerous thing is not the wild animals, but also the humble insects, especially some poisonous things.
There are such things as enchantment in this world. Maybe even insects have all kinds of incredible abilities.
So the safest place is in the tree.
The number of insects on the trees is often far less than that on the ground, and most of the wild animals moving on the trees are small animals. With the fighting power of two people, it is not difficult to cope with them.
The trees in this world are extremely tall. Giant trees over 50 meters high are everywhere. They can choose a higher place to hide. Especially in summer, the trees are luxuriant, which greatly increases the concealment.
Black orcs in the search, rarely think of staring at the sky, it is impossible to carefully look at every tree.
It took them more than two hours to select a huge tree over 70 meters high, climb to a place nearly 40 meters high, build a simple shelter with branches and vines, and cover up enough with a large number of leaves to ensure that it will not be easily found.
So the most important thing is solved.
Second, water and food.
As the waiting time can be as long as a week, enough water and food must be prepared.
Water is very easy to solve. They got four water bags from the black Orc who was killed. In addition, it had just rained, and water sources were everywhere.
For the sake of hygiene, Renault even stubbornly used his own ability to heat the water, making Angela laugh and cry.
If all this water is consumed, Renault can create a low-temperature area with reverse heat conduction. Under the action of condensation, it is not difficult to collect enough drinking water.
As for food, Renault had planned to collect dry food from the black orcs. He found a lot of dried meat on the corpses.
But Angela strongly opposes this practice, forbids him to do so, because according to the rumor, many of the dried meat made by the black orcs are human flesh.
From the rumor, Renault is inclined to think logically.
The black orcs are tall and big. At first sight, they are of standard rice barrel shape. They have a great demand for food. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, they must also eat enough protein.
That is to say, there must be enough meat. Such an army must have very high requirements for logistics.
But the problem is that the productivity of the 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 enough food. Every country often suffers from famine. It is news that there is no famine on that day!
In addition, with the outbreak of wars, agriculture has been greatly damaged, and the grain output is far less than in previous years.
The black orcs came from more northern places, where the latitude was higher, the climate was cold and the light was insufficient, and the yield of food would only be lower. The black orcs'' fecundity was significantly stronger than that of human beings. Due to the limited food, they even had the tradition of drowning babies.
They do not have enough food in their own country, and it is impossible to transport food from the north.
As a result, it was only possible for the black Orc army to obtain food locally.
But in fox Kingdom and Dushan Kingdom, many people are already hungry. Where can they get so much dried meat?
Besides human flesh, Renault can''t think of a second possibility. Besides, for the black orcs, human beings are just alien. It''s not a big psychological barrier for them to list human beings as a diet.
Who would the black orcs make into jerky? Renault immediately thought of the answer - human slaves.
It''s so miserable to be a slave. Not only do you have to do a lot of hard work and suffer cruel abuse, but also you may become the rations of the black orcs at any time.
This terrible world is more cruel than I imagined.
After excluding the black Orc''s dry food, the only choice left was to collect food from the forest.
But it''s also hard for Renault. He cut a few pieces of flesh and blood from the corpse of the black Orc and used them as bait to attract some animals that are quite like squirrels, but they are much bigger.Once these poor little animals enter Renault''s sight, they are destined to become food rations for both of them.
With his current total magic power, [reverse heat conduction] can heat the air nearly 30 meters away, but the consumption of magic power is relatively large, but it is more than enough to deal with these small animals.
When they got close to the dried meat, the hair on their bodies burned instantly 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 the ability of reverse heat conduction was the best auxiliary ability for home travel and killing people and goods.
After hoarding enough water and food for a week, they began to do a third thing, marking trees.
Angela''s mark is a kind of strange symbol, which means to guide mousse to find their route.
As for the origin of these symbols, in her own words, it was a secret language within their family, which was specially used to convey some confidential information.
If it''s indigenous Renault, it may not feel like it''s anything. But Renault, who comes from the earth and has been baptized by all kinds of information, thinks that the existence of this "secret language" alone represents Angela''s identity.
What kind of family needs to use something like cipher?
The general small nobles may not be used, most of them are the kind of powerful nobles.
Angela was not more than 8 years old when she followed muse to escape. That is to say, when she was a child, she began to learn the family secrets systematically.
Knowing this, Angela''s real identity is coming out.
She is likely to come from a large aristocratic family, and is a lady of the aristocracy.
Unfortunately, with the invasion of the black orcs, all the beautiful flowers disappeared. Overnight, the girl fell from the clouds into the dust, and now she is even reduced to the company of an orphan at the bottom of the society, struggling to survive together.
They made a lot of marks on the tree trunks within a kilometer radius, most of which were located in relatively hidden corners. Muse would certainly check carefully here when he returned, and he had a great chance to find the marks.
Even considering that the black orcs may have found the mark in front of Muse, in order to mislead the black orcs, they also made a lot of continuous false marks. If the orcs follow these marks, they will only be farther and farther away from them.
After finishing all the work, the next thing they have to do is wait.
