Chapter 285 Comprehensive Rat Eradication Plan
Shi Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment. Time pig?
What is this thing?
She continued to look down.
[How to use: The Time Pig can only devour gold. Each time it devours, it will get a corresponding amount of time. The time will be directly stored in the Time Pig. When needed, it can be extracted and merged with the time of the Gold House~]
Shi Jiaojiao read this passage three times.
She understood. If she wanted to extend the time, she had to continue looking for gold?
However, there is one good thing about this pig, which is that there is no limit to the time it takes to be extracted.
Let me put it this way, if she saves up for 48 hours, and then withdraws it, plus the original length of time in the Golden House, then she and Mu Ci can stay in the Golden House for two and a half days in a row, without having to worry about being kicked out when the time is up.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but take a breath.
Although this is a veritable gold-eating pig, it can really save lives in an emergency.
This is much more cost-effective than adding an hour to the daily schedule!
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but get excited. Even the pig that looked plain-looking just now seemed handsome now.
Mu Ci raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then how do we open this time pig?"
[You can activate it by throwing a piece of gold into the pig's mouth. However, as a friendly reminder, it is recommended that you do not throw too much for the first time, because the activation will not be exchanged for the duration~]
In order to upgrade the gold house, there was not much gold left, only some scattered small pieces of jewelry.
Shi Jiaojiao picked and chose, and finally took out a gold ring, but after thinking about it, she felt a little reluctant to give it away, so she simply took out a pair of scissors and cut the gold ring into three pieces, and only threw in a small piece.
Although a ring does not weigh many grams, to her now, gold is equivalent to her life.
Nothing can be wasted!
While waiting for the time pig to be activated, Shi Jiaojiao secretly thought that after the polar day ended, she would have to find more gold.
At this moment, the sound of coins falling interrupted her thoughts.
Then the screen that Time Pig had been unable to open also lit up.
The screen is simple and clear, with two icons: storage duration and extraction. However, the extraction is divided into two methods: full extraction and custom extraction.
Shi Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows. This was even better. She could withdraw as much money as she wanted and there was no need to worry about wasting the time she had worked so hard to redeem.
Mu Ci looked at the screen and said, "Throw all the remaining gold in."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded and threw all the gold jewelry in her hand into the Time Pig's mouth, but she had trouble throwing a necklace.
This necklace is indeed made of gold, but it is inlaid with several gems and cannot be fastened off.
She thought about it and simply threw it in as well.
While waiting, Shi Jiaojiao felt a little nervous.
Although she was exchanging gold for time, she was not clear about the exchange ratio.
If the ratio is too high, she is afraid that she won't be able to save much time even if she tries her best.
While the Time Pig was devouring the gold, the sound of coins clattering could be heard again. Shi Jiaojiao stared at the screen intently.
Fortunately, the exchange was very fast and the result came out in less than a minute.
This time, the gold was exchanged for a total of 142 minutes.
Shi Jiaojiao was a little surprised.
Before throwing the gold in, she weighed it carefully and found that the total weight was 144 grams, which means one gram corresponds to one minute.
It’s not cheap, but not so expensive that I can’t afford it.
But why is there a 2-gram difference? Did the middleman collect the difference?
Before she could figure it out, several things came out of the Time Pig's mouth.
Shi Jiaojiao took a closer look and found that these were the gems on the necklace she had just seen.
Weighing it again, it was exactly 2 grams!
She patted the pig's head and looked at the time on the screen, feeling satisfied.
With this, she and Mu Ci will be safer in the future.
Wang Jia didn't know Shi Jiaojiao's happiness. At this moment, she and Tang Wei were busy making wooden arrows.
Since their own safety was at stake, the two men did not dare to be careless and did not even have time to eat lunch.
Meanwhile, the city, which had suffered heavy casualties in the beginning, had gradually adapted to the rats outside over the past two days.
After observation, it was found that although the red-eyed giant rats are not afraid of the extremely hot or cold temperatures outside, they will also find a place to hide, and will only come out to hunt when it is safe.
This coincides with the time when the survivors are active.
If the rats are not eliminated, humans will not be able to return to the ground even if the polar day ends.
Although there are risks in going out to kill rats, the rewards are also very high.
In the last few years of the world, the country has been trying to find ways to grow food, but the results are always unsatisfactory.
Occasionally, a batch of edible food can be harvested, but the quantity is extremely small, not enough to supply all the survivors, let alone one-tenth of them.
The authorities simply put them in batches for sale in supply and marketing cooperatives. The selling time is uncertain and whether you can buy one depends entirely on luck.
This time, the red-eyed giant rat can help the authorities solve a lot of food pressure.
So in the past few days, the authorities have been organizing soldiers to go out and kill giant rats during the safe period.
Of course, the authorities were not stingy. They stored some of the rat carcasses they brought back and cooked the rest and distributed them to the soldiers, trying to feed the soldiers so that they would have the strength to go out and fight, and have a greater chance of survival.
But the official is the official after all. At this time, Jiaojiao and the other four were much more fully equipped, and they mainly used fire attack.
This way, you can avoid close contact with the giant rats to the greatest extent. Killing the rats is important, but the lives of the soldiers are equally important.
The soldiers who went out to hunt were divided into several teams. All of them wore special protective clothing, safety helmets, and held flamethrowers in their hands to hunt the giant rats.
There were also vehicles following behind the soldiers. One reason was that when they encountered danger, the soldiers could hide back in the car in time, and the other was to facilitate the transportation of the bodies of the killed giant rats back to the shelter.
Although it is impossible to quickly eliminate all the giant rats, at this moment, we should eliminate as many as possible.
The survivors hiding in the shelter were so frightened after seeing the ferocity of the red-eyed giant rats on the first day that they did not dare to go out and die. However, when they smelled the faint aroma of barbecue in the air, many of them began to get restless.
The authorities did not stop this and even encouraged it. After all, how could they eliminate the red-eyed giant rats relying solely on soldiers?
So a direct notice was issued that the survivors could keep the giant rats they brought back for themselves to eat, or they could recycle them at the supply and marketing cooperatives, either in exchange for food or points.
For the safety of the survivors, the authorities also specially put a batch of special protective clothing on the shelves of the supply and marketing cooperatives.
