Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 153 The Meaning of Living (Additional update for the leader’s encounter with the Cape)

There is no vision at all in the dark night.

Killing a giant rat is twice as difficult.

However, after fighting giant rats for a whole day and killing dozens of giant rats, Li Teng had a clear understanding of the movement and attack patterns of giant rats, and he was also familiar with the subtle sounds they made when they moved and attacked.

With the help of the detection of the watch, even in the dark, when giant rats pounce on him, he can take action in time. Although he cannot kill them with one blow like during the day, there is still a high chance of driving them away or even seriously injuring them.

After driving away two giant rats that tried to attack him along the way, Li Teng arrived at the hunting lodge smoothly.

The hunting lodge has lights and shares the electricity bill with the larger house.

Although the lighting is very dim, it is enough as a fighting place.

His goal today is to continue hunting a large number of giant rats and expand the detection range of his detection APP as much as possible.

Expanding from ten meters to twenty meters requires an additional 4,000 time index points. Expanding from twenty meters to thirty meters requires an additional 8,000 time index points. For each additional ten meters, the expansion cost will double. If it can be expanded to one 100 meters, then the detection of his watch can cover the entire area.

But this is not a very realistic thing.

Because it expanded to 100 meters, he needed to hunt a total of 2,044 giant rats and obtain 2.04 million time index points.

Judging from yesterday's experience, hunting ten rats in one hour is already the limit. It may be related to the density of giant rats or even the refresh rate. When hunting first started, the density of giant rats was very high, and it might take three minutes to attract one. You may only encounter one, but later on, the density of giant rats drops greatly, and it may take more than ten minutes or even longer to find one.

Even if he doesn't eat or drink from now on until noon, he can only kill 100 at most.

Therefore, Li Teng's initial goal was to expand the detection range to fifty meters.

This way he only needs to hunt 60 giant rats.

It would take about seven to eight hours, maybe longer, to feed 60 giant rats. After all, he still needs to rest in the middle and go back to fry meat and so on. If the density of the giant rats drops too much, it will take longer for them to recover.

How they appeared, or how they were refreshed, Li Teng still doesn't know yet.

His detection APP currently only has a detection radius of ten meters, and does not yet have the ability to monitor most areas in real time.

Now that you have a goal, don’t think too much and just start doing it.

Opening the door and making noise, after a while, a giant rat was attracted.

Li Teng lured it into the room and killed it with a precise headshot.

Then go out and lure the second target.

What goes around comes around.

After a long time, it will feel boring.

In the process, Li Teng found that his observation, reaction, arm strength, endurance, and overall physical fitness were slowly improving. Of course, it was not the improvement of attribute points in fantasy or game novels, but human beings were undergoing extreme The improvement in abilities after training will not only be reflected in this plot, but will also be of great benefit to him when he faces similar plots in the future.

This should be a good thing too.

At dawn at six o'clock, Li Teng hunted more than 40 giant rats and earned more than 40,000 time index points. He consumed 28,000 time index points to increase the detection range of the Probe APP to 40 meters.

I'm really hungry.

Li Teng picked the four strongest giant rats and killed two more on the way back, bringing a total of six giant rats back to the big house.

After throwing the six giant rats in through the unlocked window, Li Teng climbed through the window and returned to the living room of the big house.

Liu Yin was indeed not dead. She was sitting on the sofa looking at the ceiling with empty eyes.

There was no reaction to Li Teng's return, like a walking corpse.

After Li Teng glanced at her, he moved all the giant rats into the kitchen, disemboweled them one by one, removed the fat and meat. After finishing his work, he threw all the garbage out the window, and then started to turn on the fire and put on the pot. Fry the fat into oil, then put the pieces of meat into the oil pan and fry.

The aroma of meat suddenly filled the whole house.

Li Teng filled a bowl of fried meat and brought it to the living room for Liu Yin to eat.

Liu Yin ignored him.

Li Teng had no choice but to put the bowl on the coffee table in front of her, and then returned to the kitchen to continue frying the meat and enjoy it.

After a while, Li Teng exchanged a few bottles of beer on the refrigerator door, then drank beer and ate meat, and hummed a little tune when he was happy.

"Why don't you care if I die?" Liu Yin suddenly came to the kitchen door and asked Li Teng.

"You can't die here." Li Teng answered Liu Yin.

"What happened yesterday didn't affect you at all? Why can you act like nothing happened?" Liu Yin continued to question Li Teng.

"Yesterday? What happened yesterday?" Li Teng recalled it. He didn't seem to have an argument with Liu Yin, right? Why is she so angry?

"Not just yesterday, but also the day before yesterday. Cutting off arms and legs, cutting off flesh and bones. Did it really have no impact on you at all? You still eat so well! You also drink! Sing?"

"What's the point of living like this?" Liu Yin looked at Li Teng with an incomprehensible look. Normal people would already want to end their lives at this time, right?

Li Teng was stunned when he heard what Liu Yin said.

"What's the point of living? You can eat meat while you're alive." Li Teng answered Liu Yin, then stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, then picked up the beer can and took a sip.

"Can this reason alone support you to live? And living with so much pain? I don't believe it!" Liu Yin was devastated by Li Teng's answer.

"When you are alive, you will have hope. For example, I want to fulfill my promise to her and become an actor in the future, and then go to her and help her complete her film. Then...she also wants to fulfill her promise to me. ." Li Teng thought for a while and then gave an answer.

"Who is she? The female director from before?"

"It doesn't really matter who she is. What's important is that I do have such a goal." Li Teng thought for a while before speaking.

"Is it important to you to become an actor? Even if you become an actor, you are just an actor manipulated by the studio! You still can't escape the fate of being manipulated! It's just such an illusory goal or reason , becomes your belief in living? I still don't believe it!" Liu Yin felt that she did not find the answer she wanted.

"I think the most fundamental reason may... involve the biggest difference between you and me. Do you really want to hear it? Then I will explain this matter thoroughly." Li Teng put down the beer can and his expression changed. Gotta get serious.

"tell me the story."
