Chapter 49: Deadly Crocodile
Since Chu Peipei is protected by Annan, she must not be touched anymore.
It would be troublesome if Annan retaliated!
Bai Wenbin woke up Qian Ying'er who was sleeping on the ground.
"Wait at home and don't run around. I'm going out for a while."
After saying that, he left home alone.
Qian Ying'er tilted her head and looked at his lonely back in confusion.
…
An Nan has been in a good mood since he dealt with Bai Wenbin and Qian Ying'er.
But because I inhaled a powerful drug that day, there was still some residual poison in my body, and sometimes I would suddenly feel dizzy.
As a perfectionist, Annan would naturally not tolerate any flaws in his strong body.
That's dizziness!
If you can't cure it, then you're no different from that idiot Qian Ying'er!
Chu Peipei was very upset when she heard her theory.
There is a huge difference!
I didn't expect that Annan, who is so fierce in fighting, would be so careful about his life.
After examining her, Chu Peipei believed that the most effective treatment method was to use acupuncture to regulate the body's qi and blood circulation and slowly eliminate toxins from the body.
However, she is a Western medicine surgeon. Although she is very interested in Chinese medicine and has some experience in it, she is only a beginner in acupuncture.
Therefore, I still need to read more medical books and improve myself before giving Annan acupuncture.
Annan had no choice but to take tranquilizers and detoxifying drugs while waiting for her to figure out the reason.
Chu Peipei, on the other hand, studied medical books at home, used herself as an experiment, and repeatedly researched acupuncture techniques and acupoints.
Fortunately, Annan was in good health and practiced various physical exercises such as Ba Duan Jin and Ba Bu Jingang Gong every day to cure diseases and strengthen the body, so his life was not affected much.
As the days passed, more and more people died of hunger outside.
In less than three months, human living habits and world outlook have undergone tremendous changes.
Everyone started to get used to death.
Occasionally I would hear someone crying because they had lost a loved one, but I would just walk past him numbly.
When seeing a floating corpse in the water, they no longer get startled, but instead use the oars or simply push it away to prevent it from blocking the boat's path.
Long-term hunger and high-pressure life make people more and more indifferent. Almost everyone's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The only one who was not affected was Annan. He stayed at home every day to take care of his health and grow crops.
That day, she went to the field as usual to carefully care for the Isatis root in the experimental field, and brought water from the pond behind the villa to irrigate the field.
After finishing his work, he came out of the space with Fugui, who was drunk again.
As soon as I landed, I heard many people screaming outside the window.
"Crocodile! There's a crocodile!!"
"Ahhh! Help! The boat capsized!"
"Husband, hurry up! Come up!"
Annan walked to the window and looked out upon hearing the noise. He saw the water below boiling and several groups of people who had gone out to look for supplies in a mess.
Some people fell into the water, some reached out to pull themselves out, some paddled their kayaks desperately to get farther away, and some even flipped over in their entire boats...
The several crocodiles floating in the water were the source of their fear.
At this time, a woman without her left hand and left foot was floating on the water.
Several crocodiles were surrounding her and feeding on her. Blood was splattering in the water, dyeing the surrounding area red.
More crocodiles came over, attracted by the smell of blood.
Amid people's screams, a crocodile gradually approached a man who fell into the water, suddenly opened its mouth and bit the man's right leg.
The man felt pain instantly, and then struggled desperately to get out.
However, once a crocodile has its bite fixed on its prey, it will not let go.
Perhaps sensing the man's dishonesty, the crocodile, which had been biting him tightly, suddenly turned 180 degrees and did a death roll.
One circle was not enough, it turned around and around again, and the man's right leg was instantly removed by it.
It held it in its mouth and started chewing it with satisfaction.
Then more and more crocodiles gathered around, some biting his other leg, some biting his arms, and some biting his head.
Scramble to death and roll.
Soon, the man was completely eaten by the beasts.
Not only him, but everyone else in the water suffered a similar fate.
Even those who were on the boat trying to rescue others had their arms grabbed and rolled into the water.
Some people reacted quickly and took advantage of the chaos to run away with their kayaks, while others who reacted slowly were knocked over or bitten by the crocodiles and fell into the water.
The heart-wrenching shouts from below quickly attracted residents from all the buildings.
Everyone stood at the window and looked out, trembling with fear at the terrible sight in the water.
Oh, God! Can you let me live?
Surviving in a flood is already torturous enough, and now there are such horrible creatures in the water. Who would dare to go out to find food?
Not long after, calm returned to the surface of the water. Only crocodiles were left gnawing on the bloody water, eating the broken limbs.
Annan closed the curtains and stopped looking outside.
At this time in the previous life, crocodiles also appeared and injured many people.
Later, various other fish species will appear.
Long-term accumulation of water has caused some rivers to backflow, allowing animals in the water to move freely, freer than humans.
However, danger often coexists with opportunity.
People who are initially frightened by crocodiles will soon react by catching them in large numbers.
There weren't even enough of these beasts to go around.
Humanity's title as the overlord of the blue planet and its position at the top of the food chain were not earned for nothing.
Soon, hungry people will eat these crocodiles to the point of near extinction.
In his previous life, Annan had a chance of survival when he was almost starving to death because he ate crocodile meat.
But in this life, she would never risk her life to hunt crocodiles with others.
The various red and white meats of chicken, duck, cattle and mutton in her space were enough for her to eat until the end of her life. There was no need for her to eat these meats soaked in stinky water.
In addition to people's domestic garbage, feces, urine and farts, there were also rotting corpses in the water.
She didn't want to put any of the meat she picked up from there into her mouth.
Or don't occupy other people's survival resources...
I won’t fight for anything, I’ll give them all to you!
Like Annan, Chu Pepe also thought that these crocodiles were edible.
During this time, she stayed at home to recuperate and did not go out to look for food. She spent every day learning acupuncture and practicing shooting.
Although her shooting and medical skills had improved, the food that Annan gave her was gradually running out.
We have to find a way to go out and find food.
Just as she was about to go out that day, she saw a horrifying scene outside the window.
She was frightened at first: Fortunately, she didn't leave in a hurry, otherwise she would be the only one in the water now.
Then, as I watched the crocodiles chewing their food with relish, an idea suddenly popped into my mind:
Is it possible that, instead of it eating me, I am eating it?
