Chapter 35: The Second Watch, Even Birds Don't Eat
Yes, it's a hare.
What a fat hare!
Fresh pot rabbit, cold pepper rabbit, crispy date rabbit, shredded rabbit, hand-shredded rabbit, spicy rabbit head, red oil rabbit cubes... Ye Yu recited more than a dozen rabbit recipes in his mind.
"Space Tear." It had been a long time since Ye Yu had used her skills in such a childish way, but this rabbit broke her skills, and it was also destined that the rabbit could not escape after all.
Kill with one strike.
Bar
——The gray rabbit fell to the ground.
Ye Yu took two steps forward, bent down, picked up the rabbit and weighed it. It was not as heavy as she had imagined, about five pounds. It didn't seem to be solid, but the fur felt quite comfortable.
Place the rabbit into the space.
Ye Yu searched around.
Thanks to her sharp eyesight, she found a rabbit hole in the weeds. She understood the principle of "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" and found several more rabbit holes in the same area. These rabbit holes did not look like the nests of a single rabbit, but she did not hear any other rabbits calling.
Wild rabbits usually don't make calls. They will only scream like before when they are frightened or facing danger. Now, even if there is a rabbit in the hole, it will stay in the hole and not move.
If you can hear it, there must be a ghost.
Ye Yu couldn't wait that long, so he decided to use the most traditional method of smoking the rabbit holes. He had several boxes of matches ready in the room, and firewood could be found on the spot. He first blocked the holes that were relatively far away, and then smoked one of the holes.
After waiting for a while longer, blocking out the noise, I finally heard some movement underground.
Ye Yu caught four rabbits at the entrances of three rabbit holes. He moved his ears and came to a place between two holes.
Two consecutive space tears.
The ground loosened, and at the same time, the soil was pulled away. The hare below reacted slowly for two seconds, its legs were caught, and it screamed twice in fear.
Ye Yu's first reaction when he picked up the rabbit was that it was quite heavy, heavier than the previous ones.
Then he frowned.
He lifted the hare by the neck and touched its belly. His ominous premonition turned out to be true. It was a female rabbit, and a pregnant one at that.
If she met it in the end times, Ye Yu would definitely not let it go, but the longer she stayed in this era, the more she realized that she had been reborn and this world was a peaceful world waiting to be developed.
Pregnant rabbits are responsible for the reproduction of a species and should not be killed. This is also the unspoken rule followed by hunters.
Ye Yu put the pregnant rabbit on the ground with pain and watched it hop away.
Okay, I’ll definitely do it next time.
After making sure that all the open flames were extinguished, Ye Yu went down the mountain. Halfway down the slope, it was still early tonight, so he simply included Xishan in the refreshed map.
There is also a stream in the West Mountain, but the water flow is smaller than that in the East Mountain. The same is true for the pond. There are fewer fish and shrimps in it, but there are quite a lot of loaches and even eels.
Loach and eel are both good things and taste good, provided that the earthy smell is removed.
Sure enough, it's still lacking seasoning.
Ye Yu threw the loaches into the space. They wouldn't go bad anyway, so he could eat them when the seasoning was sufficient. Now, the ingredients needed to cook them included a lot of fish, chicken, etc. Therefore, the eels and snails in the fields were not so popular now.
The source of the stream on the west side is lower than the east mountain.
After walking for a few more minutes, we arrived at the bamboo forest mentioned in the jingle. It was not any precious bamboo, and this bamboo forest might not be purely natural and wild. The ancestors of the villagers in Wangjiagou developed the wonderful uses of bamboo and propagated it from generation to generation.
Bamboo forests also produce bamboo shoots. The season for bamboo shoots from this relatively cold-resistant green bamboo is usually in summer, which means there are no bamboo shoots now.
No bamboo rats or bamboo shoot insects were seen either.
But a bamboo snake saw one and pounced out of the tree to attack. I wonder why this snake didn't hibernate? Maybe it wasn't winter yet?
The bamboo pit viper is one of the most famous venomous snakes. Its venom is not weak and can kill people. In the era when there was no snake serum and lack of medical environment, the only way to survive after being bitten by a venomous snake was to endure it.
The same goes for Ye Yu. Mutants with special abilities have only evolved to have enhanced resistance to poisons compared to ordinary people. When the critical value is exceeded, they may be poisoned to death.
In the previous life, poisonous beasts were also a cause for concern.
There is a poison-type mutant in the base. His talent is average, but relying on his neurotoxins and good martial arts talent, he can also fight on par with other superpower masters. Even high-level superpowers can hardly defeat him if he tries to sneak up on them.
It's very buggy.
Ye Yu only has level 2 supernatural powers now.
The bamboo pit viper may not be able to kill her, but the five-step snake may still cause her flesh to rot, which will take some time to heal. The mountain snake, which has the highest mortality rate in China and a large amount of venom that can kill an elephant, may also poison her to death.
We must not take it lightly at any time.
Fortunately, the mountain snake is not as cunning as the five-step snake. It usually makes noise to scare its enemies. Adult individuals that can poison an elephant are also very large. Their vision and hearing can serve as a warning, so it is not difficult to avoid or kill them.
No matter what, self-improvement is important and necessary, otherwise you will have to live in secrecy in the city, and you will not be truly invincible in the countryside.
Freedom lies within the scope of strength.
Ye Xiao tore off the neck of the bamboo green snake and threw the green body into the space together with the eels and loaches.
In addition to this accident, a badger was also found coming out to forage for food at night.
Then, apart from mosquitoes, there are the most birds, which can be heard from the chirping sounds at night.
Ye Yu took a quick walk around Xishan and Xishan, and had no plans to go to Nanshan, which she was most looking forward to.
That's all for tonight's adventure.
But I didn't go back to the educated youth point immediately. Since I was out, it would be unreasonable not to have a midnight snack.
Ye Yu came to the stream and built a very simple stove.
Light a fire.
Ye Yu did not roast the prey he got tonight. He roasted the exotic beasts first. Although these exotic beasts were a bit unpalatable, they were still meat after all, and meat with extremely high nutritional value. It would be a waste not to eat them.
So he first dealt with the huge mutant sheep, which was one-quarter of its head, and then put it on the fire.
After a while, the aroma of meat wafted out, and the mutant sheep began to sizzle with oil. The aroma was ten times richer than normal barbecue, and it was so fragrant that it made you drool.
It is in stark contrast to its indescribable taste.
Ye Yu is not afraid that these mutated sheep will affect the ecological environment, or cause local animals to mutate, causing the world peace to end prematurely and the end of the world to come.
As mentioned before, the future apocalypse will not be a zombie apocalypse, and biological mutations will not be caused by some terrifying virus infection. Although there will indeed be many messy viruses in the future, both natural and man-made, these are not the main culprits of the virus.
Scientists at the base have conducted research for decades and discovered that both natural disasters and mutated creatures on the blue planet are related to changes in the sun.
Similar to but different from photosynthesis.
Scientists have inferred that this should be the regular and abnormal movement of solar photons, which occurs every tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands or millions of years, and will cause unpredictable changes, evolution or extinction to the blue planet.
Nowadays, if we want to see the emergence of people or creatures with special abilities, unless the sun moves ahead of time or consumes the energy in the beast pill, it will not be able to support genetic mutations.
Ye Yu’s beast pills are not enough for his own use. He can only use them when he reaches a bottleneck in cultivation or when he advances. Of course, he will not give them to other creatures.
Moreover, ordinary people with mutant abilities suffer extremely hardship. Without having to survive for so long in the apocalypse, people simply cannot understand why they have to endure such pain that is several degrees more painful than childbirth, and are more likely to explode and die.
As long as the beast pill is not lost, even if the animals in this world eat the mutant beast, they will at most undergo extremely minor individual mutations, like ordinary people or ordinary animals in the future doomsday.
This mutation does not involve the optimization of genetic gene fragments and will not be passed on to offspring, so there will be no phenomenon of transmission from organisms to organisms, organisms to humans, or humans to humans.
"I'm talking about you!" Ye Yu was a little amused and a little impressed.
Such unpalatable exotic beast meat was eaten, yet a gray sparrow actually flew down from the tree to join in the fun.
Just because of the smell of meat?
It is true that birds die for food!
It grabbed a mouthful with its beak, and it almost fell into the fire next door.
Well, if it falls into the fire, it will become one of the midnight snacks tonight.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!!!" The little sparrow couldn't even fly anymore. It fell beside the fire and vomited in pain. It even vomited out the leftover fruit it had eaten yesterday.
"puff--"
It was for this reason that Ye Yu spared its life. Firstly, there was too little meat on it, and secondly, there was no other living creature that could accompany him in eating the exotic meat.
He reached out and poked the sparrow pretending to be dead: "Come on, repeat after me, even birds won't eat the meat of exotic beasts."
"Chirp, chirp." The sparrow's small eyes seemed to be mocking, as if accusing someone of being cruel and ruthless.
It’s true that even birds don’t eat it, so people have to eat it.
The mutant sheep was finally roasted. Ye Yu cut off a leg of the sheep with a blade and took a bite with an expressionless face. It tasted sour, astringent, fishy and bitter. He finally understood what the smell of rotten eggs mixed with candles was, or what the smell of a rag that had been used to wipe vomit was?
It's extremely unpalatable.
Compared with the taste of this mutant beast, sweet potatoes and soybeans are delicious, and even the grass and leaves on the ground can be called delicacies in the world.
Ye Yu continued to eat it all with an expressionless face. It was wise to eat the meat at this point because she was feeling a little nauseous now. If she waited longer, she would probably not be able to eat it anymore, which would be a real waste.
People who have lived through the end of the world have an obsession with food and hate people who waste food the most.
"Chirp, chirp." The little sparrow finally recovered, flapped its wings, and turned its eyes to see the barbecue in front of it.
He pounced on her again.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" This time he didn't move his beak at first, but circled around the barbecue for a while and couldn't help it.
“Chichi!”
His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.
"Huh?"
While Ye Yu was enjoying the moment, he also felt that this little guy seemed a bit smarter. Was it natural or was it because of the exotic beast? Is it really so easy to encounter a highly gifted animal?
If it is the latter, in three hundred years, it would probably be a mutant beast that can breathe fire or spit water.
But it is absolutely impossible now. The normal lifespan of birds cannot last long enough to see the changes in solar photons.
"Should I kill it?" The little guy is quite interesting. Why not wait for it to accompany me to eat all the mutant beasts before killing it?
The sparrow cursed:
...Can people do it?
Ye Yu flicked its little head, ate the mutant sheep, put out the fire, cleaned up the scene simply, and carried the little guy's hind legs down the mountain.
Let’s observe first and then discuss.
