Chapter 287 The End of Midnight
While killing rats, Shi Jiaojiao watched helplessly as three or four giant rat carcasses on the glass shards were carried away. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.
These are her food reserves, how could they fall into the mouths of outsiders?
She didn't want strangers to take advantage of her, and of course, not even rats!
In a rage, the arrows she shot were even more brutal.
In the other cave, Wang Jia handed the mechanical crossbow to Tang Wei and rubbed his sore eyes.
She really didn't expect that although the number of giant rats increased a lot today, the speed of killing rats was faster than the previous two days.
And there is no need to get in close contact with the giant rat, there is no risk, it's perfect!
You know, she was very nervous when she was killing rats a few days ago, afraid that she would be bitten accidentally, and also afraid that Tang Wei and Shi Jiaojiao Mu Ci would get hurt.
As the fight got to the end, Wang Jia and Tang Wei's eyes became more and more excited.
Finally, with more than forty minutes left before the end of the safety period, the giant rats outside the cave were killed by the four people.
Shi Jiaojiao pushed open the door, and the strong smell of blood that hit her in the face almost made her vomit.
She held her breath, took out two ordinary masks with mint-flavored patches from the space, and handed one to Mu Ci.
After putting on the mask, the mint scent lingering around her nose could not completely suppress the smell of blood, but at least it made her feel less nauseous when she breathed.
The next step is to quickly move all the giant rat corpses back to the cave.
Shi Jiaojiao glanced at the place not far away. Wang Jia and Tang Wei should be busy moving the giant rat and probably couldn't come over.
She simply waved her hand and put the giant rat's corpse on the glass shards into the space.
Who would be willing to endure hardships if they could just relax a little?
But it was not so easy for Wang Jia and Tang Wei. If they wanted to get the giant rat's corpse, they had to move the glass shards piece by piece and then restore them. In the process, they had to avoid being accidentally injured by the glass shards.
You have to know that it's all the blood of giant rats. Although Qin Jun didn't say whether there is any problem with the blood, infection is always bad.
By the time Wang Jia had finally gathered the bodies together, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci had already finished.
Wang Jia threw the body into the sack and turned to look at Tang Wei: "You stay and restore the traps. I will send the giant rat to Jiaojiao and the others."
Someone gave me a mechanical crossbow yesterday. Although he didn't mention any reward, I can't pretend that I don't know.
She and Tang Wei were not short of food for the time being, and they had plenty of supplies, but there was really nothing good.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to send all the giant rat meat over.
Although giant rats can be seen everywhere now, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci are not short of them.
But, this is the most precious thing for her and Tang Wei now, after all, it is meat.
Tang Wei did not raise any objection, but he frowned when he saw Wang Jia carrying the sack, and then said, "You stay, I'll take it. I'm strong and I can run fast."
There is not much time left before the end of the safe period. What if Jia Jia's temperature rises on the way back?
As for the giant rat meat, he was not reluctant to part with it at all.
Tang Weiwei knew that even if all the giant rat meat was added together, it would not be as valuable as a mechanical crossbow that could kill people.
But they really don't have anything to offer right now, so they can only pay it back slowly in the future.
Wang Jia listened to Tang Wei's words, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
One reason is that Tang Wei is very strong, and another reason is that he is usually careless, and delicate work like restoring traps is not suitable for him.
Shi Jiaojiao left Mu Ci in the cave to clean up the giant rat's corpse, and she took the opportunity to go out and take a look at the cage.
The three giant rats inside were all alive and well, but the aloe vera and cactus thrown down the day before were not eaten and were still there.
Shi Jiaojiao pouted, she is quite picky about food.
Fortunately, she thought of this last night and took out the blood-foam aloe vera that she had prepared in advance.
After she threw the aloe vera into the cage through the gap, she stared at the three giant rats with coldness in her eyes.
If you don't want to eat this, then kill it.
We can't sacrifice the chickens in the space just because of a few giant rats.
And now there are more and more giant rats, so it’s actually okay not to keep them.
How could the three giant rats in the cage understand the expression? They still bare their teeth at Shi Jiaojiao. They didn't even look at the aloe vera thrown in. They looked like they would rather die than surrender.
Shi Jiaojiao sneered and decided not to indulge their bad habits.
Don't want to eat? Then just bear with it.
With a cold face, she pushed the cage into the small cave, blocked the entrance, and turned away.
When she returned to the entrance of the cave, she saw a sack of giant rats carried by Tang Wei, but before she could ask, Tang Wei hurried away.
The safe period is almost over, so we have to hurry up.
Explain that we can contact each other using the intercom after the end.
After a while, he came running over with a sack of giant rats on his back.
Mu Ci looked at Tang Wei's things without saying anything. It depended on Jiaojiao's opinion whether to take it or not.
Shi Jiaojiao's mind raced, and she instantly understood Wang Jia and Tang Wei's intentions.
Since it is a reward, why refuse it? Just move everyone into the cave.
Although she didn't lack a mechanical crossbow, she was still happy that her friend didn't accept it with peace of mind, but reciprocated.
Besides, if Wang Jia and Tang Wei really get into trouble in the future, she won't just watch her friend starve to death.
After the safe period was over, Shi Jiaojiao looked at the piles of giant rat corpses in the cave.
Mu Ci said, "This should be all the harvest there today."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded, smiled and cursed, "Two idiots."
The four of them spent the next few days killing rats and cleaning traps.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei even brought over the corpse of the giant rat that they had killed the next day.
But this time Jiaojiao refused.
The first day's pay was enough for her.
Wang Jia still felt a little guilty. How could giant rat meat be compared with a mechanical crossbow? It was just that Shi Jiaojiao was generous.
Tang Wei comforted her, "We have known Shi Jiaojiao for such a long time, you should know her well. If she says no, she will definitely not change her mind. What we should do now is to live well. As long as we are alive, there will always be a chance to repay her in the future."
Wang Jia could only nod in agreement.
The disaster of the red-eyed giant rats came unexpectedly, and no one knew where they came from.
Although many people died at the hands of rats, this was indeed an opportunity.
After all, if the giant rats hadn't appeared, how could everyone eat meat?
In the end times, it is extremely important to have a healthy body. Otherwise, how can you survive one natural disaster after another?
As time went by, the number of giant rats became fewer and fewer, even to the point where they had to be fought over.
Suddenly one day, everyone discovered that the giant red-eyed rat was nowhere to be found.
No one knows whether the giant rats were killed by humans or disappeared just as suddenly as they appeared.
After the giant rat disaster ended, life went on and the polar day did not end.
There are only two days left before the polar day arrives for a whole year.
Shi Jiaojiao is in a very good mood now and no longer cares when the polar day will end.
Occasionally during the safe period, I would go out to have dinner with Wang Jia.
Of course, Mu Ci is still the chef.
With the nourishment of giant rat meat, Tang Wei slowly regained his sturdy figure before the end of the world, and Wang Jia's complexion also looked much better.
There was no change in Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci, but they had never lacked nutrition.
Apart from worrying about how to extend the shelf life of dried meat, people don’t seem to have any other worries.
No one noticed that the moon briefly appeared for one minute on the night when polar day fell for one year and one day.
Before anyone could react, the darkness of the night was dispelled by the red sun.
