Chapter 30: Smooth as Shrimp
When Jiang Rong returned to the storage room again, and went there and came back again, Jiang Rong could clearly feel that the whole house began to shake.
There were more and more quack beasts outside, and what were originally tentative knocks had now turned into real collisions.
“Boom!!!”
“Boom!!!”
“Boom!!!”
With each collision, the anti-theft windows outside trembled violently.
It really stirred the minds of everyone in the room.
Even Grandma Jiang and the others who were still in the basement could clearly feel the movement outside.
At the same time, the attention of almost all the villagers hiding in the houses around them was secretly focused on this side.
They saw that the quacking beasts outside the house had temporarily left, so they dared to briefly rub against the window to observe the movements outside.
The people who were still alive in the village were feeling extremely heavy-hearted at the moment. They had to watch and listen as yet another family in the village was eaten alive by those hateful mutant beasts, and no one knew whose family these horrible creatures would visit next time.
The waiting process is extremely torturous and painful. Those who are not mentally strong enough may scare themselves to tears or become delirious.
All the movement and changes outside were simply because of the four barrels of meat in Jiang Rong and Zhao Caier's hands.
After Uncle Zhao shouted just now, Jiang Rong had a vague feeling that if they didn't kill all those quacking beasts today, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
Among the four barrels of meat that Jiang Rong and Zhao Caier brought out, two were full of poisoned chickens with intact surfaces and fresh blood, and the other two were filled with minced pork soaked in poisonous blood.
She was a little worried that the quacking beasts would not be fooled, so she made preparations for both scenarios.
It would be best if these quacks were not picky eaters, but if they were, she would have no choice but to continue using live chickens to swallow poison as bait.
In addition, she had Xin Jue control the amount of poison before taking the meat. After several repeated tests, Jiang Rong finally determined the appropriate amount of poison.
The amount of poison this time will most likely kill the Quaking Beasts, but they won't die immediately; there will be a few minutes of buffer time in between.
In addition to the chickens and pork poisoned with lightning, Jiang Rong also took out four cylindrical steel forks, one meter long and two centimeters wide, with sharp spikes on the top, from the "storage room".
This thing was bought at the building materials market before. After buying it, she asked someone to do some processing on it, and it can be considered a usable weapon.
Jiang Rong divided it equally among the four people.
In addition, there were four sets of advanced protective clothing. She had bought more than a hundred of these at one time.
After several people changed into protective clothing while shivering with cold, Jiang Rong said to Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, we can start now."
Uncle Zhao got the hint and put into practice what he had practiced repeatedly before.
A hole was hollowed out in the wall of the house, about the size of the mouth of a teacup, leading directly to the outside world.
As soon as the entrance to the cave was opened, the quacking beasts outside began to boil. The whole room was filled with the sound of quacking besides the sound of banging and crashing.
The house shook even more violently.
Fortunately, before the end of the world, Jiang Rong asked Xin Jue to reinforce the house, and he did a good job.
Even though the outside of the house is now crawling with quack beasts, there is still no sign of the house being breached.
It's really solid.
After that, the few people did not waste any time. After Uncle Zhao chiseled four small holes in succession, the four of them started to push the meat out, also known as poisoning.
The entrance of the cave that Jiang Rong was in charge of was just covered by the soft white belly of a quack beast.
At this moment, no one knew how many layers of quack beasts were piled on the wall outside. The whole room was dark, and the already scarce light was completely blocked. Jiang Rong could only light a candle in the dark.
Then, in the dim light, she picked up the steel fork on the ground, dipped it in some of the poisonous blood in the bucket, and stabbed it hard into the belly of the quack beast.
Then the effect is like a thin and sharp embroidery needle being stabbed hard into an inflated ball.
Suddenly there was a 'puff' sound!
At the same time, the belly of the quack beast began to turn black at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it did not die immediately.
“Quack!!!”
Afterwards, Jiang Rong quickly used a steel fork to pierce a piece of pork covered in poisonous blood and sent it out of the cave.
As the strong smell of blood spread, the Qua Qua Beast that originally occupied this position was quickly slapped away by its companion's claws.
They had been unable to break out of the house for a long time, and as soon as they smelled this 'sweet smell', they began to scramble for it.
The weaker ones were all knocked away.
Soon the piece of pork on Jiang Rong's fork disappeared, and Jiang Rong didn't even see how it disappeared.
Then a long pink tongue stained with blood quickly probed in from outside at an extremely fast speed.
But Jiang Rong was prepared for this.
She picked up the pliers beside her with an expressionless face, clamped the tongue tightly in the chaos, and then chopped it off with an extremely sharp kitchen knife.
"Be careful of their tongues." Jiang Rong reminded the others while chopping.
At this moment, everyone had the same equipment and tools in front of them. Plus, they were protected by advanced protective clothing, so they were all relatively safe.
Jiang Rong kept repeating the action of stabbing the meat. The quacking beast outside the house stopped ramming the house and started ramming its companions instead.
The current Quaqua beasts have generally only become stronger, but as for their brains...
No brains.
For now, they are classified as those with developed bodies but atrophied brains.
Seeing that the glass they had been hitting for a long time showed no signs of breaking, while their companions guarding the cave entrance were able to eat fresh food, the other quack beasts were of course unwilling to fall behind.
Therefore, as Jiang Rong and the others were feeding the quack beasts, they saw that the beasts suddenly changed their behavior and started to attack each other in a rush.
Jiang Rong would just send out a piece of pork when the pork on the steel fork was gone. At the same time, he would chop off a few of the quack beast's tongues from time to time.
You can just sit back and watch the fight.
The whole process of feeding poison was much easier than she had imagined. She had not expected such a result.
In the darkness, the strongest group of Qua Qua beasts would occasionally be poisoned, fall to the ground, and then freeze stiffly.
But because these quack beasts had been attacking each other in order to eat the bloody pork on Jiang Rong's steel fork, on the surface, they looked like they were beaten to death by their own kind rather than being poisoned.
The mutant beasts' eyesight was not very good to begin with, and the darkness outside just covered up the blackened corpses... In addition, Xin Jue's thunder poison was colored but odorless, so the group's extermination operation was in full swing.
Busy from night to morning.
And I am becoming more and more calm and unhurried.
Later, the pork in Jiang Rong and his friends' buckets was frozen into ice cubes. In the end, they had no choice but to use a kitchen knife and pliers to chop the frozen pork into pieces and then take it out.
And those quack beasts outside were becoming more and more docile for some unknown reason...
They would still struggle and still snatch, but before Jiang Rong delivered the pork, they actually started to wait obediently.
Before the poisoned pork is handed out, be ready.
After the poisoned pork was handed out, they turned their backs on their relatives and started fighting.
During this period, Jiang Rong even had time to exchange for four barrels of meat.
In short, there were intermittent fighting outside throughout the night.
There was constant yawning in the room.
Nearby, some villagers hiding in their houses heard the noise and observed a moment of silence for the Jiang and Xin families.
So miserable...
He was tortured to death by those terrible mutant beasts for the entire night.
Tsk tsk tsk, my body goes cold just thinking about it.
Some villagers thought with a serious face, those mutant beasts stayed in the Jiang and Xin families for so long, maybe the two families must have stockpiled a lot of food?
What a pity, now it has been destroyed by those mutant beasts.
On Jiang Rong's side, several people worked hard all night long, until dawn, when the corners were filled with the blackened corpses of the quack beasts.
After that, the piece of fresh pork that Jiang Rong handed out was not bought again for a long time.
At this time, several people finally put down the steel forks, long iron pliers and kitchen knives in their hands, shook their heads and waved their hands to relax their muscles.
"Rongrong, shall we go get those guys in now?"
"Um."
It’s better to finish it early to avoid any more trouble.
Moreover, these are just the first batch of mutant beasts to arrive. After this batch of mutant beasts die or leave, it won’t be long before a new batch of mutant beasts will come up to replace them.
At present, this group of quack beasts is probably the most powerful among the mutant beasts nearby.
The most obvious weakness is that he is not very smart.
But among the mutant beasts, there are stupid ones and smart ones.
For example, mutant rats.
The mutated rats reproduce quickly and in large numbers. They can dig holes and are experts at tunneling. They are also smarter than the quack beasts and will not be easily fooled.
This is the really tricky thing to do.
Jiang Rong clasped his hands together and prayed in his heart, hoping that the next batch of goods would not be these things.
Otherwise, even their family can't stand it...
Not to mention the other villagers.
After that, the few of them spent a lot of effort and dragged all the corpses of the quack beasts back to the Jiang family's basement before it became completely light outside.
Uncle Zhao and Xin Jue were responsible for dragging the body of the Quaking Beast back to the house from outside, while Jiang Rong and Cai'er worked together to drag the Quaking Beast back to the other two empty rooms in the basement.
The four people's tasks were exchanged regularly.
Otherwise, if they had to work outside all the time in temperatures of minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, even Xin Jue and Uncle Zhao would not be able to withstand it.
At the same time, Aunt Zhao, who was in the basement, also came out to help.
Several other elders also wanted to come out to help, but were persuaded to go back by Jiang Rong and the others. It was too cold outside, and they didn't dare let the grandparents come out and help.
During this time, Jiang Rong was dragging and secretly putting some quack beast corpses into the space.
Finally, Jiang Rong left more than twenty corpses of the quack beasts outside the house and confiscated them, as if he had to do something about it.
After finishing all the work, they hurried back to the house and closed the inner and outer doors to isolate the cold air from outside.
At this time, there were two heating stoves burning in the living room, and the temperature was slightly higher than outside.
Now that there was no threat from the quack beast outside, Jiang Rong returned to the room and turned on several air conditioners again. All the doors in the house were open, and ventilation was flowing between indoor and outdoor areas. The living room also began to gradually warm up.
In addition to turning on the air conditioner, Jiang Rong also turned on the water heaters on the three floors. After working all night, everyone was covered in sweat and blood and needed to take a shower.
Moreover, everyone had stayed in the basement for three or four days, and the air conditioner was not even turned on, let alone using the water heater to take a shower.
But Jiang Rong was not in a hurry to take a shower. She went to the basement with Xin Jue.
Jiang Rong had counted the bodies of the quack beasts while moving them, and found that there were a total of 532 of them.
The number was not as many as she had imagined, and the sizes varied.
The big one is as big as a window, and the small one is half a meter high and wide.
Fortunately, her door was big enough, otherwise they might not have been able to move in. Usually, things of this size would have been secretly put away in Jiang Rong's space before being moved to the basement.
In addition, after awakening their special powers, they are generally much stronger than before, and their speed is also faster. In short, they feel a lot lighter than before.
This can be considered an additional benefit of awakening superpowers, and it is probably related to their training in the past few days.
When your strength improves in the future, you will be even stronger and faster.
At this moment, the corpses of the quack beasts in the basement are relatively small.
But, wow, it’s all meat!
A small one was estimated to weigh nearly 100 kilograms. As for the big ones she stored in the space, she felt that they weighed at least 300 to 500 kilograms.
In addition, she had heard people say in her previous life that the meat of these quack beasts, after being cooked, actually tasted similar to shrimp meat, fresh and tender.
She was thinking about it at that time.
