A mysterious global blackout causes schools to shut down, factories to stop operating, and all land, sea, and air transport to be suspended. Supermarkets are completely looted, and a greater crisis...
Chapter 240
Tomis wanted to see the green hand, Jiang Si hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but the green hand is poisonous."
Tomis was a little angry. "Nonsense, I've eaten this kind of mushroom before. As long as it's cooked, it's not poisonous!"
Since they insist on trying the poison, give it to them.
Jiang Si nodded in compromise, "Okay, okay, you can take the mushrooms!"
Thomas immediately showed an ecstatic smile. They hadn't had a full meal for a long time.
Every time I go to the beach to find food, it's all based on luck.
These sandstorms have been frequent and the tide has not receded. I haven't found food on the beach for a long time.
Going into the sea was too dangerous, and his brother never got up after he went into the water.
Jiang Si handed them the mushrooms, and they quickly fulfilled their promise and immediately dug the excretion outlets in the cave for Jiang Si and the others.
The design is quite clever, and the sewage will not pollute the air inside the cave at all.
Jiang Si was also very curious whether anything would happen to them after eating the Jianshouqing.
It’s okay to eat it, they can also make a pot of mushroom soup with the remaining mushrooms.
We haven't eaten mushrooms for a long time.
While waiting for the poison testing from Tomis, everyone went into the cave to take a look at their new home.
People feel somewhat uncomfortable living underground.
However, the environment is still quite good, very dry, and the walls are very solid.
Because when Tomis was digging the cave, he used a special method to treat the walls.
It's worth treating them to a few bowls of water.
The only downside is that there is no light in the cave and it is pitch black and inconvenient.
They didn't even have an oil lamp now, which made Jiang Si miss her space again.
The generator in her space, the endless batteries, lights, desk lamps in her space...
Qin Shen can see at night, and the dark environment in the cave has no effect on him.
Seeing that Jiang Si was not used to the dark environment, he hugged her and said, "I'm going to catch whales."
Jiang Si was stunned. "Catch a whale?"
"I'll make you a fish oil lamp."
Jiang Si couldn't help but smile. "I still have you even if you can't see me at night. Just hold my hand and I'll just do the work. I'd rather eat whale meat than fish oil lamps."
A large enough whale would be enough to keep them fed for a long time.
Of course, in order to preserve it, there must be enough salt.
Fortunately, Shen Baoying still has the ability to automatically distill salt water. There is no shortage of salt, but there are whales that are delivered to the door.
Qin Shen had wanted to go hunting for a long time.
The few mantis shrimps on the beach are not enough to fill our stomachs.
No matter how many bugs there are, it's still troublesome.
Moreover, to lure these insects out, there must be plants for them to consume.
Shen Baoying's growth technique was to get them some usable willows and Japanese knotweed, but it seemed a little insufficient.
Therefore, their main source of food now is still the ocean.
If you want to live a life without worries about food and clothing, you cannot be afraid of the dangers of the sea.
Qin Shen wanted to go to the sea, and Jiang Linhai and Kilton also wanted to go.
Jiang Linhai can breathe under the sea, but Kilton can control water.
If the three of them cooperate well, it shouldn't be difficult to catch some large prey in the sea.
They headed towards the seaside, and everyone watched them go and stood on the top of the mountain to observe the situation.
Qin Shen jumped into the sea first, followed by Kilton and Jiang Linhai.
After they dived into the sea, the sea became calm for a while.
When everyone was worried about whether they might encounter danger, suddenly, huge waves appeared on the sea.
The figure of a megalodon suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
In an instant, everyone's heart was lifted.
What a scary monster.
When he opens his mouth, it seems as if he can swallow the whole world.
The next second, countless crimson blood halos appeared around the huge megalodon.
The strong smell of blood irritated the now very sensitive noses of Tomis and the others.
The next second, it turned into a snow wolf and stood on the hill not far from Jiang Si and the others.
When everyone saw them, they all looked wary.
This is their spoils of war. If you want to fight for it, you have to have the ability and courage.
The megalodon struggled in the sea, and as if it had been stabbed several times, it twitched and swayed violently, turning the waves in the entire bay into huge waves.
Fortunately, Kilton controlled the waves coming towards them and avoided being swept away by the waves.
Tomis and his companions were not so lucky. Although they ran fast enough and were not swept away, they were still soaked.
When the Megalodon becomes completely motionless, it will sink to the bottom of the sea.
Qin Shen's huge original form bit its tail and used its claws to paddle in the water while pushing it forward.
Jiang Linhai and Kilton also came forward to help.
Finally, with the power of the waves, the megalodon was washed onto the beach.
The blood almost dyed the beach red.
Everyone was extremely excited, because this megalodon was enough to keep everyone eating for a long, long time.
Of course, they now have to preserve the extra meat as quickly as possible.
Everyone ran towards Qin Shen and the others.
Jiang Si pulled Qin Shen's clothes up and kissed his rosy cheek: "Thank you, dear. I can use fish oil now."
Qin Shen smiled slightly, and his cold face was covered with crystal clear water droplets, shining brightly.
In an instant, Jiang Si was fascinated by him, and she couldn't help but kiss him again.
While they were being embarrassed, everyone was already planning how to preserve the megalodon.
First, the salt must be extracted, and second, there must be a suitable place to store it.
The wolves are the best at digging holes.
There is so much meat anyway, I don’t mind sharing some with them.
Their help can also process and decompose the meat as soon as possible before the sandstorm comes.
Tomis watched them processing the megalodon's meat from afar, and he felt so envious.
Suddenly, Jiang Si waved to them.
Tomis' eyes lit up and he immediately rushed forward, his tone still quite proud, "What do you want from us?"
Jiang Si pointed at the Megalodon and said, "Can I ask you to help me dig a hole and give you some meat?"
Thomas said, "This hole needs to be quite big."
The implication is that Jiang Si also needs to be given more meat.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Go ahead and dig. You can take some meat back later."
Jiang Si didn't seem to be stingy. After their previous cooperation, Tomis still had some trust in her.
He no longer bothered to specify how much to give.
Tomis took everyone to dig a hole.
Jiang Chengwu touched the megalodon's skin and said, "This is good material. It can be made into clothes."
Everyone only has one set of clothes on their body. Megalodon's skin can be used to make clothes, which is a very happy thing.
Jiang Sidao: "Do we need to use special methods to peel it off?"
The animals she had caught and made clothes from in her previous life did not include the megalodon.
Jiang Chengwu judged based on his experience, "It shouldn't be necessary. Just be careful not to damage the skin too much. This megalodon is quite large, so you can divide it into several parts and peel it off slowly."
Jiang Si agreed and was about to take the knife and attack together.
Qin Shen waved to her again and said, "Come here."
When Jiang Si went over, he saw Qin Shen was attracted by the megalodon's neat rows of snow-white teeth that were as sharp as steel knives.
They not only have supplies, but also various daily knives.
Megalodon's teeth are unexpectedly very good materials.
But it's too hard.
Qin Shen exerted great strength to break off the megalodon's teeth one by one.
Each one of them is as tall as Jiang Si’s waist.
Now looking at this dead behemoth, it is obvious how dangerous Qin Shen must have been when he was at the bottom of the sea.
Jiang Si asked, "Is this the only megalodon around here?"
Qin Shen said, "We've only found one so far. Perhaps they've also developed a sense of territory?"
If they can truly develop a sense of territory, it will be a great thing for them.
Not only can the meat of Megalodon be eaten for a long time, but it can also freely catch fish, kelp, seaweed and seagrass on the beach.
Jiang Si said happily: "Then we have to stock up on food during this period of time."
Qin Shen hugged her and said, "It's okay. Even if there are Megalodons, they will only eat us."
Jiang Si suddenly quite liked his domineering CEO-like tone.
"I trust you."
Sometimes it's really nice to have someone to lean on.
In this life, she is very fortunate to have met Qin Shen.
Everyone was busy dissecting the megalodon. Qin Shen kept his promise to make fish oil for Jiang Si to use as a lamp, so he specially cut off the part of the megalodon with the most fat and refined it with the essence of lightning.
After a while, a pool of fish oil without impurities melted out of the stone tool.
There's a slight flavor, but it's not overpowering.
Jiang Si was quite satisfied.
Roll willow bark into a wick, put it in and light it. It works quite well.
They just need to find a container to store the fish oil.
Qin Shen took a fancy to the megalodon's spine, selected a piece of suitable size, chiseled it open, and poured fish oil into it.
The fish oil in this entire megalodon shark spine will last her for a long time.
Jiang Si was very happy and told everyone how to refine some fish oil and store it.
Everyone was very happy because having lights made everything easier.
It's just that everyone is very busy and has no time to do it.
Qin Shen and Jiang Si were responsible for this matter.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any sandstorms during the entire day they were dealing with the megalodon.
Because the megalodon was so huge, they couldn't finish the job even after working for a whole day.
The caves dug by Tomis and his men were also filled.
Everyone was tired and finally got a rest at night.
After eating the green mushrooms given to Tomis, they did not feel poisoned. Instead, they found it extremely delicious. They even kept one mushroom and planned to find a way to grow it and continue eating it in the future.
After Jiang Si and the others learned that the green onions were fine after eating them, they quickly arranged a meal of mushroom and fish soup.
The delicious mushrooms and fish stewed together are so delicious.
What's more, Shen Baoying's cooking skills are good.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
Xiaochun and the others also ate a full meal.
Without this megalodon causing trouble nearby, they can go fishing with confidence and boldness in the future.
Shen Baoying prepared a special meal for Jiang Si and specially roasted some seaweed for her as snacks.
Eating snacks made by my mother and nestling in Qin Shen's arms, although the environment is simple, I am actually very happy.
Jiang Si looked at the jumping fish oil lamp and said to Qin Shen, "After we deal with the megalodon, let's get some furniture for the house."
They can use stones or mud to simply decorate their small home to make it more cozy.
Qin Shen of course satisfied her unconditionally: "Okay."
The next day, everyone continued to deal with the megalodon.
There was a sandstorm in the middle, which caused the fish meat on the surface to be covered with a thick layer of sand.
There was no extra water to wash it, so we just put the Yanba paste on it and put it in the hole.
Everyone was afraid that the processed fish would spoil, so even though it had been pickled with salt, Mina was allowed to act as a refrigerator to monitor the fermentation of the fish in the cave at all times.
If something goes wrong, Mina can adjust the environment to a suitable one in time.
Having a cave is really great. Everyone can hide in the cave without committing any sin, especially since there is plenty of food, so they feel less worried.
It wasn't until the fourth day that they finally dealt with the megalodon.
During this period, they also caught a lot of fish on the shore.
The food in the cave can sustain them for a long time.
Jiang Si took a fancy to the megalodon's bones. Qin Shen used lightning to roast them very clean, removing the odor and fishy smell. He not only made tables and chairs, but also made display stands and a sturdy fishbone bed.
Everyone also wants to create beautiful furniture like them, but none of them has Qin Shen's ability to make it immediately.
It took them a lot of effort just to clean the remaining fish meat from the fish bones.
Later, the hardness of fish bones forced everyone to give up and choose to use more convenient clay to make earthen kangs, earthen cabinets, and earthen tables.
Although it is not as beautiful and easy to move as the ones made by Qin Shen and Jiang Si, it is pretty good and everyone is quite satisfied.
Anyway, they won't be moving for a while.
If there is enough food, it is not impossible to live here for a long time.
Without the megalodon causing trouble, the beach is always peaceful. There are not only mantis shrimps, but also large clams, razor clams and cockles.
Jiang Si and his friends can harvest a lot by spending an afternoon on the beach.
After the food problem was solved, everyone began to devote themselves to the development and utilization of land resources.
We wanted to make a puddle before, so everyone poured water into it from time to time. Finally, it formed a puddle about two meters in size.
Our daily water consumption is sufficient, but we need to be frugal.
It hardly rains here, and the only source of rain is artificial supplies from Kilton and Mena.
When the tide is high, water molecules are active and more water is produced.
When the tide is low, there is not much water.
We have not yet achieved water freedom.
Jiang Si still hasn't had a real freshwater bath.
Farming is even more impossible if there is not enough water.
Everyone had been trying hard to find a solution, but until Haydn and the others arrived, there was still no solution.
