Amazed, Liu Kai couldn't help but hope to find some more of these snake eggs.

They even gradually began to have wicked thoughts.

He was thinking that he might as well not sell the python to the authorities anymore, and just keep it in captivity like a chicken.

After all, snakes are similar to chickens; they can lay eggs without the need for a male snake to mate.

The downside is that the spawning cycle is a bit long.

However, his gradually clearing mind dealt him a heavy blow.

Because he suddenly recalled the state of eating snake eggs before falling asleep.

I ate a total of 38 eggs at that time.

But by the time I ate about the 23rd one, I no longer felt that wonderful sensation.

I continued eating it simply because it tasted good.

Combined with the "drug resistance" developed from previously consuming precious metals, Liu Kai already had a disappointing guess in his mind.

In the end, they had no choice but to abandon their crazy idea of ​​keeping pythons in captivity.

Now, while the meat in the pot is still not fully cooked...

Liu Kai replaced the sweat-soaked sheets, blankets, and pillows with new ones.

Then, taking Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to the next bathroom, they took a refreshing cold shower.

It wasn't until he left the restroom that he suddenly realized the incredible cold resistance he and his cats and dogs possessed.

The bathwater remaining on Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's bodies froze into ice crystals the moment they came into contact with the cold outdoor air.

But they just shook their bodies casually, shaking off all the ice shards.

There was no sign of discomfort whatsoever.

Seeing this, Liu Kai couldn't help but have a strange guess.

Perhaps the changes that occurred to himself, including those of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, could not be considered "enhancement".

It's more like an "evolution" that adapts to the environment.

Moreover, it is undeniable that the mysterious virus must have accelerated the "evolution" process.

Thinking about this...

He couldn't help but sigh: Living things can always find their own way out in harsh environments.

My confidence that humanity will eventually overcome this difficult period seems to have grown even stronger.

I put aside my thoughts and returned to the cabin, where the pork and tiger meat were already cooked.

There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to worry about appearances.

Smelling the enticing aroma, Liu Kai scooped chunks of meat out of the boiling pot with his bare hands.

He opened his mouth wide and took a bite.

While eating, she carefully observed the condition of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.

Just like him, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's physical condition has improved considerably.

This can be seen from Xiaobai's sharp cat claws, which can easily cut through tiger meat.

I never imagined that the weakling from back then would be transformed so completely.

Liu Kai couldn't help but feel a tightness in his anus.

If an ordinary person were scratched by Xiaobai, they would probably lose half their life.

And its intelligence should have improved as well, since its brain capacity has increased significantly.

Xiao Hei's strength should not be underestimated either.

While eating, its tail, which it was waving around carelessly, accidentally bumped into the table.

With a "crack," the table leg made of nanmu wood suddenly split open.

The sudden noise startled the silly dog, who looked up and around, completely unaware of what had happened.

After eating and drinking my fill and resting for a while, I didn't feel drowsy again this time.

Liu Kai stood up and stretched, his bones making a crisp "crackling" sound.

"Let's get moving and start mining!"

The delay lasted for three days.

Strengthening the body is important, but strengthening spatial abilities should never be neglected.

Opening the door to face the howling cold wind, Liu Kai felt refreshed.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai also seemed to have been holding back for a long time.

He squeezed through the door frame in a flash.

This time, however, Xiaobai didn't slack off and rode on Xiaohei's back.

His body moved like a black lightning bolt, taking the lead and disappearing into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

Watching their disappearing figures, Liu Kai smiled and said, "I hope you two can cause me some more 'trouble'."

...

With the help of an ultrasonic defrosting device, the mining machine operates very quickly.

Although it didn't reach the theoretical maximum speed of 85 meters per day, digging 60 meters a day was still easy.

The cliff behind the wooden house was indeed very close to the mine, only about 15 meters away.

It had only been less than half a day since they started digging.

Liu Kai could clearly sense that the excavated soil contained a large amount of platinum and iridium elements.

He certainly wouldn't be polite.

All the soil and slag were stored in the storage space.

Without the need for complex chemical refining, the storage space irrationally devoured both elements.

The remaining slag was of no use to Liu Kai.

However, it still contains abundant rhodium and palladium, two rare elements.

Adhering to the principle of "we eat the meat, the country drinks the soup".

He then dutifully piled the slag outside the cave.

When the world reopens one day, these will be important strategic resources.

With its underground positioning system, the mining machine moves accurately inside the mountain.

He extracts more than 8,000 tons of raw ore every day, which translates to him consuming more than 200 kilograms of platinum and iridium daily.

This stuff makes money much faster than trading goods outside.

Benefits fuel passion and motivation.

Liu Kai completely forgot his "grand goal" of only working half a day.

After working almost 12 hours straight, I ate my fill.

They depart at dawn and dew, and return under the stars and moon.

Back in the cabin, I first washed off all my fatigue.

I opened a movie saved on my phone, lit a fire, and ate meat skewers while drinking ice-cold beer.

Life was very pleasant.

Time flies by, and before we knew it, another 10 days had passed.

Those snake eggs did indeed break the shackles that restricted the body.
