Chapter 707: You Look Familiar
The weather became increasingly hotter and the sunlight also became increasingly intense. All the leaves on the trees were so dried out that they crumbled in the hand. The grass had long withered and the earth was dry and yellow. There was not a single trace of green in sight.
Ning Shu no longer dared to take anyone outside to hunt anymore because just being outside for ten minutes was enough for them to get sunstroke and show signs of severe dehydration. In addition, the sun was intense enough to burn their skin.
Everyone holed up in the cavern. There wasn’t a single drop of water in the cavern’s pool anymore. It was like all the water in the world had been boiled dry. There weren’t even any drops of dew in the morning.
They became even more careful with their use of water.
Ning Shu had already drawn a hundred twenty lines on the wall. The drought had already gone on for four months and there was still no sign of rain.
If it didn’t rain soon, they’d really have no choice but to wait for death.
The previously handsome, imposing, and aloof Li Wen, due to not having any water to wash with, now had soot all over his face. However, as he sat on the ground and leaned against the stone wall, he continued to give off a natural imposing aura that made it impossible for people to take him lightly.
Ning Shu gave the gray furball a little bit of spirit essence crystal powder. After the gray furball ate it, it fell into a deep sleep so Li Wen had to carry it around.
Li Wen’s expression was indifferent, but inside, he was completely going crazy. He felt the urge to shake this little thing until it finally woke up. Why the frick did it fall asleep? How was he supposed to get back?
Where exactly has this thing brought him?
Heavens!
There was no more prey to be found in the forest. Great numbers of animals had died from thirst, so Ning Shu finally decided to take out the cured meat that they had buried in the cavern.
Originally, there was an atmosphere of despair hovering around the tribe, but when they saw Ning Shu dig out the cured meat, intense light exploded in everyone’s eyes once again. Even Li Wen was looking towards Ning Shu with admiration.
It was clear that he felt that Ning Shu had made a lot of wise preparations beforehand.
“I can’t help but feel like you look familiar,” said Li Wen with lifted eyebrows as he looked towards Ning Shu.
Ning Shu glanced at him with aloof disdain. He was the freakin’ emperor in the past so she had to flatter him in all aspects, but here, this ma’am’s word was law.
“I don’t know you.”
Li Wen: …
He couldn’t shake off the feeling that this person looked down on him a lot.
Due to the harsh temperature, females with weak constitutions in the tribe kept dying. However, that left the tribe with females that had stronger constitutions.
What made Ning Shu rather pleased was that none of the young females had died. In addition, none of the young males had died either due to Ning Shu’s protection.
After they got past this hard time, the entire tribe would be able to go on.
When Li Wen saw how indifferent Ning Shu seemed as she looked at a dead tribesman’s corpse, he asked, “Aren’t you sad? They’re all your tribesmen, aren’t they?”
When Ning Shu heard this, she almost choked on her spit. The person who had kacha-ed all his brothers in order to ascend to the throne actually had the nerve to ask her this question?
Could he be anymore fake?
Ning Shu didn’t respond.
