This meal was quite enjoyable. The meat of the mutant mouse was delicate, very similar to rabbit meat, but without as many bones as rabbit.
In addition to the taste, what is more important is that the meat of this mutant rat is full of energy. This energy is very similar to the corpse core, but milder. This made Jiang Feng and Su Xue full after eating only the amount of food they had before the apocalypse.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Feng lay down on the ground and enjoyed the cool night breeze.
At this moment, the stomach and intestines began to digest, and the whole body felt as if it were soaking in a hot spring, so warm that it made people not want to move. The injuries of the past few days also recovered rapidly under this power.
Some of the wounds that had only stopped bleeding were slowly healing. The most serious injuries were the bloody holes on the shoulders and thighs. Although the turtle's vitality had stopped the wounds and connected a layer of membrane, it couldn't just grow back out of thin air! At this time, the tendons and bones began to connect and the muscles began to grow.
Jiang Feng felt itchy all over his body, but he didn't dare to scratch it, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Su Xue, however, ate too much and lay on the ground whining, holding the equally chubby puppy in her arms and looking at the stars in the sky.
After a while, Jiang Feng felt hungry again, so he quickly got up and continued eating, since there was still plenty of broth.
"Oh, uncle, you're amazing! You can even eat." Su Xue stopped daydreaming and looked at Jiang Feng with envy. Because she also wanted to eat, but her stomach was full, so she only ate a little bit, not as hearty as usual!
"Hmph, kid, you should go to bed early!" Jiang Feng was speechless at this kind of envy. If he didn't want to recover from all his injuries today, there would be no need to work so hard.
"Hey, uncle, when do you think Ah Huang will grow up?" Su Xue usually responded directly to such questions, and asked while looking at the puppy who had not grown up much.
"Gugu, it's not that easy. Raising a dog is troublesome, and being a poop scooper is not easy!" Jiang Feng, who was drinking soup, didn't think it mattered. Anyway, he already had a big turtle.
"But I really want to ride on it! When Ah Huang grows bigger, it will be so cool to ride on it!" Su Xue was stunned by her own fantasy. It must be so cool to ride a giant dog.
Ah Huang, whom she had high expectations for, was lying on the ground with her big belly, not wanting to move at all.
The night passed quickly, and the next day Jiang Feng got up and went to observe the changes in the turtle.
Last night, when Jiang Feng was half asleep, a vague thought came to his mind, which seemed to be from a turtle. His thinking was much clearer than before. At least he was no longer relying on instinct.
The tortoise, originally over four meters long, had grown considerably larger, reaching a total of five meters. Its entire body had taken on a khaki hue, even its formerly cyan-brown head, limbs, and tail. Furthermore, scales had grown on the parts of the body not protected by its shell.
But it seems that it is still sleeping and digesting the crystal core of the mouse.
Jiang Feng watched it for a while and then ignored it. The stronger the turtle was and the bigger its body was, it would only benefit Jiang Feng and not harm him.
I reheated the leftover beef soup from last night, woke up Su Xue who was still sleeping in, and ate it together.
There are still a lot of things to do today. First, I have to deal with the mouse skin. Turn it over and stretch it out with a stick. Place it in an open space to dry in the sun. After the skin is dry, remove the impurities.
At the same time, they also started to process the mutant rat's claws. This thing was not as complicated as the rat skin. They picked out a few short claws and made them into spear heads.
Jiang Feng fashioned the two longest claws into daggers, each with a 20-centimeter blade. Adding the 7-8-centimeter finger bones at the end made it a perfect dagger. Jiang Feng used another rat claw to remove the tendons from the finger bones, then modified the bones into a handle, wrapping it with a layer of cotton cloth.
The other dagger was processed in the same way, and there were two brand new daggers in total. I tested it with an iron rod and found that with enough force, it was not a legend that it could cut iron like mud.
The shorter claw was about ten centimeters long, slightly curved, with the edge on the inside, very sharp. Jiang Feng used the mutant rat dagger he had just made to drill a hole in one end of a steel chisel. When it was almost done, Jiang Feng heated it red hot and inserted the end of the claw with the phalanx while it was still hot. He then hammered it shut with a stone and placed it in water to cool.
After it cooled down, I took it out and tried it. I felt that the spear seemed a bit weird, and the front end looked a bit like a hook, but it was undoubtedly quite easy to use.
Jiang Feng felt that a spear was more useful than a dagger, especially for dealing with zombies and mutant beasts, but a dagger was perfect for self-defense.
So he made three more in succession, and gave a dagger and a spear to Su Xue who was watching the fun nearby, so that she could familiarize herself with the weapons.
Then Jiang Feng started to process it again. There were still a lot of dried meat and fat on the rat skin that had been hardened by the sun. Jiang Feng removed these things bit by bit.
Brush it with rice water to absorb excess grease, then soak the leather in wood ash water to soften it, and rub it continuously until it becomes very tough. Because it will be worn on the body, it does not need to be nitrated. As long as it is worn slowly, the oils discharged by the human body will prevent it from becoming hard.
Finally, Jiang Feng used a sharp claw dagger to cut the skin in half, removed the skin on the head and the tail and butt, and made two complete pieces of clothing.
These two leather jackets can only be said to be wearable, they are not good-looking, let alone artistic, as long as they have good defensive capabilities.
This was confirmed when he was cutting just now. Even with the sharp claw dagger, Jiang Feng still had to drill a hole little by little before he could cut the rat skin.
