Chapter 8: Testing the Waters

Next to the refrigerator, Lu Chao discovered a bag of opened rice and a bag of unopened rice in the wooden cabinet.

The scene at that time must have been very bloody and tragic

After witnessing this scene, Lu Chao stood there in a daze for quite a while, and he began to have some conjectures about his own predicament.

Lu Chao let out a bitter laugh and shook his head

Although this family's house is larger than Lv Chao's by more than 10 square meters, the floor-to-ceiling window structure and the absence of security screens outside the windows render it virtually unsafe in the wilderness. Whether it be wild animals or intruders, they can easily break into the home.

This family has a large refrigerator with a capacity of 300 liters, which contains vegetables as well as fruits such as apples and oranges

Even the cheeks on both sides have disappeared

Lü Chao left his home and cautiously walked into the depths of the forest

The vegetables and fruits should appear relatively fresh, indicating that this family has not been here for long

If this family has just been "kidnapped" to this world and encountered misfortune, then it is likely that they still have a considerable stock of food at home, and there may even be fresh vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator

There is another way, which is for Lu Chao and his daughter to move into this house to live.

Looking at the bread machine in front of him, Lü Chao appeared slightly dazed.

The harvest is very abundant, but first, I need to bring these things back home

Lü Chao constantly reminded himself to maintain a clear mind at all times, ensuring that every action taken thereafter was well thought out, with careful consideration of his own safety; otherwise, he and his daughter would inevitably meet the same fate.

Lv Chao slowly approached the house

In addition to vegetables and fruits, the refrigerator also contains several cans of beer, several bottles of juice drinks, and some condiments

However, Lv Chao quickly dismissed this idea

Her departure was not due to the bread maker; rather, it was his career, which had not shown any progress, that left her with no hope for the future

Following the drag marks and bloodstains left by the body on the ground, Lu Chao discovered a house several dozen meters away

One can imagine that the two wild wolves had a hearty meal again

Every time he passed a tree, Lu Chao would stop, crouch beside the tree, and confirm that there were no unusual movements in the surroundings before continuing on to the next tree

Lü Chao's heart was racing; this was the first time he had seen other humans since he was 'kidnapped' to the woods.

The interior of the house is even more horrifying, as one can see the body of a woman upon entering, along with the body of an elderly woman. Compared to the male bodies outside, these two corpses are relatively more intact

Regardless of what it is, for Lu Chao and his daughter, who have been eating wolf meat for over a month and have nothing left at home but wolf meat, it will be a fine delicacy

Now is not the time to sympathize with this family, as Lu Chao quickly immersed himself in the role and began to ransack the house.

It seems to weigh over ten pounds in total

This household is equipped with a variety of appliances, and Lü Chao even found a bread maker that appears to be in very good condition

It seems that not only their family was 'hijacked' here, but also several other families, who were 'hijacked' along with their houses to this forest!

It appears that there are other 'residents' in the forest

Like the home of Lv Chao, this household also has electricity and water, the refrigerator is functioning normally, and all the food inside is well preserved

This manner of walking is quite slow, but relatively safer

The doors and windows are wide open, which suggests that other members of the household have likely also encountered misfortune

Based on the analysis of the wounds on the body, it is highly likely that the man fell victim to the lethal hands of two wild wolves

However, the house of Bilu Chao is somewhat larger

The freezer of the refrigerator contains a considerable amount of meat, including spare ribs, pig ears, pig stomach, beef, whole chickens, as well as frozen butter, cheese, and even a few boxes of ice cream

The primary reason should stem from the pressure exerted by her parents

After a few minutes, as Lü Chao was walking, he suddenly caught a faint whiff of a putrid odor nearby

A square tofu block, almost identical to the one at Lv Chao's home, cut out from a reinforced concrete structure

Most of the flesh on the body has been torn away, the abdomen has been opened, and the internal organs have been hollowed out

This is called testing the waters.

In order to ensure safety, Lv Chao even picked up a few stones and hid in the woods, throwing them towards the front door of that house.

If at that time, when Lily expressed her desire to buy a bread maker, he had promised to buy it for her, would she have chosen not to leave?

However, this family was clearly not as fortunate as Lu Chao and his daughter. It is possible that the absence of a security grille on the window, or perhaps the fact that they had actively opened the door, allowed the wild wolf to rush into their home, biting and dragging away the male head of the household

If it is really difficult to find stage 3 infant formula for Yaya, adult milk powder can also suffice. According to the information, infants over one year old can actually consume adult milk powder.

After throwing the stone, there was still no movement inside the house. Only then did Lu Chao cautiously approach the house and peer inside from the doorway.

In the letter she left behind, she even expressed that she felt she was a burden to him

but rather a corpse

According to Lv Chao's estimation, his home is approximately five to six hundred meters away from here, and it would take at least twenty minutes to walk back while carrying things. The reason for this slow pace is that he must be on guard against attacks from wild wolves on both sides, and he cannot simply walk back nonchalantly while carrying his belongings.

The absence of maggots in the corpse seems to indicate that the time since its formation is not too long.

I just do not know who they are and how they came here

For the time being, the only solution is for Lv Chao to make a few more trips to transport these food items back to his home

Following the source of the foul odor, Lu Chao did not walk far before discovering a gruesome male human corpse beside a large tree

In addition to rice, there are also two bags of 5-pound bread flour and yeast powder for making bread.

Therefore, it is necessary to take the risk of going in to scavenge the food inside and bring it back

No infant formula was found, but two bags of adult milk powder and one bag of white sugar were located

Forget it, I don't want to think about these things anymore, thinking about them is of no use

The wide-open door attracted Lu Chao's attention

The front door of the house is wide open

The harvest is very abundant

It is certainly better than having no formula to consume

After Lü Chao made his plans, he sprang into action. He cleared out all the fruits and vegetables from the refrigerator of this household and packed them into a large bag. Next, he took a frozen pig's ear from the freezer, along with a bag of opened rice. This would be just right for preparing a sumptuous lunch when he returned

Finally, there are more than ten raw eggs left
