Chapter 147 What, toads can be eaten?

"The authorities said that if we catch a crocodile, we can exchange it for solar panels?"

Today, Liang Xiu came back from work and told Meng Ci about the official notice, which stated that they were going to recruit capable people to kill wild beasts in exchange for food and solar panels.

When Meng Ci heard that the solar panels could be replaced, his heart moved.

After all, there are solar panels stored in the space, so we can always find an excuse to take them out.

If we don't find a solution, the inexplicable addition of solar panels may arouse suspicion.

Now that the authorities have given a reason, Meng Ci will of course try his luck.

Liang Xiu nodded, "That's right."

"You want to hunt wild animals and earn solar panels?"

"Yes." Meng Ci said.

Liang Xiu thought about the current temperature outside. Although it was around 20 degrees, the space was obscured by various clouds and the sun was not visible.

There is no use of solar panels.

Liang Xiu was puzzled.

Meng Ci explained: "I see that the temperature is rising very quickly. If it continues at this rate, it may rise to 40 degrees or above in less than half a month."

"The things that the authorities replaced at this time included solar panels. I think they knew something in advance."

"If I can kill a crocodile, I can exchange it for some solar panels and other things. It's always worth it."

After hearing this, Liang Xiu felt that what he said made sense.

"But those crocodiles are elusive and I heard they are over five meters long."

"Someone even spotted a crocodile that was more than 10 meters tall. I'm afraid it would be difficult to fight it."

Liang Xiu is in the security team. Although he is only responsible for registering information, there are many people there and he can hear a lot of news.

Shen Que also said: “It is indeed difficult.”

“And the skin of these crocodiles is much harder than that of tigers and lions.”

"It's hard to kill with ordinary weapons."

In his previous life, Shen Que had already joined the security team and became a soldier.

Several crocodiles were once killed under the leadership of the army.

However, they all use firearms, and consume a lot of manpower and bullets.

As for ordinary people, at most they can catch some water snakes and the like.

Meng Ci fell into deep thought after hearing this.

At night, Meng Ci took Shen Que into the space and asked him to see the weapons stored in the space to see if there were any objects suitable for killing crocodiles.

In the end, Shen Que selected three compound bows and corresponding arrows.

Compound bows are too heavy and difficult for beginners to lift.

But Meng Ci and Shen Que had received various trainings and had fought a lot before, so they could naturally move it.

The only worry is that Liang Xiu, who sits in the office for a long time, might find it difficult to pull.

"Uncle Liang, you can try it first."

"If you can't pull it, you can change a weapon."

Before Meng Ci could say anything to comfort him, he saw Liang Xiu pick up a compound bow, put an arrow on it, and easily pull it towards a tree in the yard.

In the villa yard, Meng Ci had someone rebuild the drainage system, so the water from the melted ice and snow in the house had been drained out.

"Uncle Liang, why can you pull it?"

Meng Ci was surprised. Judging from Liang Xiu's appearance, he looked thin. Could he be the type of person who looks thin when dressed but has muscles when undressed?

Then Meng Ci looked Liang Xiu up and down, and couldn't help but imagine in his mind what his figure would look like after he took off his clothes.

Shen Que had spent a lot of time with Meng Ci, and just by looking at his eyes, he knew what he was thinking, and he felt sour in his heart.

However, he did not show it. Instead, he took a compound bow and started shooting.

Meng Ci was not surprised that Shen Que could pull a compound bow, so he did not react much.

Shen Que saw it, and the vinegar smell was even stronger.

Liang Xiu didn’t care about the jealous smell and arrogant words that suddenly emanated from Chen Que.

"It's just a compound bow, why can't I pull it?"

Regardless of whether it was before or after the apocalypse, Liang Xiu, although a desk worker, paid great attention to his physical health and would spend at least an hour in the gym every day, regardless of morning or evening.

Even at the end of the world, Liang Xiu did not give up the idea of exercising. After seeing several fitness equipment placed in the house, he continued to exercise.

And I saw a bicycle that could generate electricity after being connected to a generator.

So Liang Xiu would ride on it and pedal for lighting and daily use.

Therefore, Liang Xiu's physical condition is naturally not bad.

Although all three of them could pull the compound bow, they had never practiced it before and were afraid that their accuracy would not be good enough and they would waste arrows.

Therefore, the few people did not rush to kill the crocodile, but practiced at home for two days before taking two speedboats and setting off.

There were still soldiers guarding the way down the mountain, but with a pass, it was not difficult to get in and out.

We drove the speedboat all the way to the city center, where many people had already gathered.

There used to be a river here. Before the end of the world, there were at most some small fish and shrimps here, but there were no dangerous creatures like crocodiles.

I'm afraid it was during the heavy rain period, coming from upstream.

These things did not die after experiencing heavy rain, acid rain and blizzard. Instead, they began to mutate.

But nowadays, these things are just huge in size and not poisonous.

Then the crocodiles and other snakes were weighed by kilograms.

However, one pound of crocodile can be exchanged for half a pound of food, but five pounds of snake meat can be exchanged for half a pound of food. After all, the degree of danger of the two animals is different.

"Snake, there's a water snake here!"

There was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd, and those people gathered together in search of the sound.

Meng Ci and Shen Que were in one speedboat, while Liang Xiu was in another speedboat. After hearing the sound, they did not rush to catch up.

"Hiss, is that a toad?" Meng Ci suddenly saw a toad jumping onto a person's speedboat.

The toad used to look quite creepy, but now it has mutated and is more than 30 centimeters tall, and the bumps on its body are even more scary.

Quack quack quack!

The three people on the speedboat were very excited when they saw the toad, and were ready to catch him.

One person stayed at the bow of the speedboat to maintain balance, while the remaining two rushed forward.

Quack!

Just as they were about to catch the toad, it jumped up and moved to the right side of the speedboat.

"We'll go left and right later. Don't let it run away again."

"Um."

This time the two men were well prepared. One of them went to catch the toad, and the other one stared at the toad to see where it would run next.

thump!

The man didn't catch the toad before, and it quickly ran to the other side.

This time the other person was ready, but the toad was so agile that he jumped directly into the water.

The man reached out to grab it without even thinking.

However, the speedboat was unstable and all three of them fell into the water.

Meng Ci saw them catching toads and asked curiously, "Chen Que, what are they catching toads for?"

"Eat!" Shen Que replied.

Meng Ci couldn't believe what he heard, so he turned to Liang Xiu.

Liang Xiu nodded.

Meng Ci's eyes widened.

They can even eat toads, these people must be starving.

"Aren't they afraid of being poisoned?" Meng Ci couldn't help but ask.
