Chapter 188 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
Seeing the rats lying densely on the ground, there were tens of thousands of them just by counting them. The villagers who came out to help clean up got goosebumps again.
Miao Jinfeng rubbed her arms and said, "I don't know where all these rats came from. Can Hongyue give birth to rats?"
The audience laughed.
This is totally different.
Although the Star Alliance only has mutant plants and animals, they still understand the habits of some primitive species.
Rats are an animal that you may not see very often, but in fact their number is greater than that of most other animals.
Especially, it is very fertile.
The gestation period is only about 20 days, and each litter can contain up to 15 or 16 cubs, with an extraordinary proliferation rate.
The amount that the host and his hunting team were able to kill in half an hour might not be as many as the total number of rats in this small town, and there might be even more to come.
After his leg recovered, Old Man Wei, who was getting more and more energetic, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that there's no meat to share today. I fought so hard, but it was all in vain."
Ge Yuan said: "There will be more later. It's impossible that only rats come every day."
The group chatted for a while, then quickly piled up the dead rats and burned them clean.
Considering that mice carry many germs, Lu Xuan bought a large amount of disinfectant at the mall and asked everyone to thoroughly disinfect the village and the area around the greenhouse inside and out.
While the villagers were disinfecting, Li Tie couldn't help but pull Lu Xuan aside and praise him, "That protective shield of yours is truly amazing! Once activated, the rats can't get close at all. I saw it, and there wasn't even a scratch left on the window of the training room."
Lu Xuan thought, something worth millions consumes a lot of energy stones every time it is activated, how can it not be useful?
The audience also laughed: [Luckily, the host pulled out another protective shield from the black gold blind box, otherwise the whole village would have to crowd into the Lu family's house and everyone would have been squeezed to death.]
But it doesn’t mean there is no loss now.
The Lu family and the training room were intact because they were protected by protective shields, but other people's houses were not so lucky.
Although the rats first gnawed the mushroom lamps, only a small number of rats gnawed the houses, and the overall loss was not serious.
However, there were several small gaps on the house, and the villagers who went home to disinfect it couldn't help but curse when they saw it.
Shit-smelling rat!
They are inedible, cause damage everywhere, and carry germs that make people sick. Why don’t they freeze to extinction during the extreme cold season!
After Li Tie walked around the village to determine the extent of damage to each house, he returned to Lu Xuan, who had already returned home, with a worried look on his face.
"The rats have a more significant impact on the village than any other wild animal. What if they come back again, even in greater numbers?"
If you gnaw a few holes at a time, and make more holes next time, won’t you end up destroying the house sooner or later?
When asking, Li Tie looked at Lu Xuan with anticipation.
The audience didn’t understand at first and thought that the village chief wanted Lu Xuan to popularize house protection covers throughout the village.
Just as he was about to say that this idea was too extravagant, he heard Lu Xuan say, "While the beast attack continues, I will place the vampire vines outside to prevent wild animals from breaking in."
The main people who need to take the opportunity to improve their strength are the young and strong. The elderly, the weak, women and children have low needs in this regard, so it doesn’t matter if they take care of one or two more people.
The audience suddenly realized that it was a hint about the vampire vine!
The anchor actually agreed?
[Isn’t the anchor a bit too overprotective? ]
[That's right, the disaster has already begun for over half a year, are you still treating the elderly and weak like greenhouse flowers?]
"But the hunting team works hard to hunt and kill animals to improve their strength, isn't it just to make the elderly, wives, and children at home live a good life? Why do they have to suffer with them?"
[Although the Star Alliance emphasizes that the strong are respected, there is no rule that the strong cannot have wives and children. The wives and children of the strong must also be very powerful.]
[Some planes where everyone is a soldier sounds impressive, but do they do it because they like it? They're forced to do it by the circumstances.]
[Only incompetent people make their wives and children suffer together.]
Lu Xuan also agreed with this statement.
In the end times, no one, young or old, women or children, should be looked down upon, because they have a harder time surviving than anyone else in the end times, and they will do anything to survive.
But who doesn’t want to live a stable life if they have the conditions?
He provides various items from the mall to help people survive various disasters, and when needed, he can provide some human training to the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the village.
But for the irrational beast, letting the young and strong men kill it and cook it for food was already the best use of it.
…
There are vampire vines surrounding the village.
Except for children who were forcibly confined in the house and not allowed to run around, and a small number of timid people who still dared not go out, most people have returned to normal life.
Those who need to clear the snow should clear the snow, and those who need to continue processing the by-products should continue processing.
Even though the howling and roaring of wild beasts such as wolves, wild boars, or jackals could be heard from time to time in the open space not far away, the villagers could chat with the people around them without changing their expressions, and even felt that the animals were too noisy.
Why are you screaming? No matter how loudly you scream, you will still become a trophy in the hands of his/her son/husband, huh!
However, it is impossible to say that the beast attacks had no effect on them at all.
Not being able to go to the hot springs because you don't know when the herd will appear is just a relatively insignificant one.
At worst, they can take a bath in their own bathroom and enjoy the hot water washing away their fatigue.
But it is so heartbreaking that winter fishing is forced to stop.
Inside the processing shed.
Aunt Chen sighed, "Before, Chen Rong complained about having too much fish, thinking that the fresh, salted, and cured fish in the space were almost piled up into a mountain and were being pickled. Now, look, this supply income has been completely gone!"
Aunt Zhang sighed, "Who said it wasn't?"
During the five-day winter fishing trip, the catch brought back more than 200,000 kilograms of fish.
Just because of the presence of the beasts, they couldn't go to the ice lake even though it was right there. All the income was lost. The loss was too heavy.
Granny Lin was quite open-minded and comforted them, "It's sad that we can't get the supplies, but safety is the most important thing. It would be too dangerous if we were attacked by a herd of beasts on the icy lake."
"Although the fish food is gone, there is still meat, right?" Grandma Lin picked up a piece of lean wild boar meat.
In just five or six days, the village had encountered no less than five groups of wild boars.
Each family can get two to three hundred kilograms each time. If the beast attack lasts for a whole month like the polar night, they can at least stockpile three to five thousand kilograms of meat.
Granny Lin sighed, "Before the disaster, I never imagined I could get so much meat every day."
The amount of meat we eat every day now is something we probably wouldn’t be able to eat in a whole year in the past.
Others understand this principle as well.
But didn’t private schools teach us that it’s difficult to go from extravagance to frugality?
The harvest of animal meat is 200 to 300 kilograms at a time, and the harvest of fish is 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms at a time.
With a gap of more than five times, who wouldn’t feel distressed?
But if they were really given a choice, they really would not ignore the safety of their loved ones for the sake of catches.
In the end, I could only sigh and comfort myself.
"Anyway, ever since the beast attacks started happening all the time, at least the young and strong aren't as irritated as they were when the polar night first started."
"That's right." Aunt Liu said, "Now, every time my Liu Chun comes home from a fight, if he isn't so stinky that I force him to take a shower, he'll just fall asleep in his bloody clothes."
I'm depressed because I can't see the sun. I just don't have the energy.
The most important thing is to get some sleep and restore your strength.
As for those who did not need to participate in the battle, they used the method provided by Grandpa Zhang and basked in the holographic sun in the training room. Their mentality was also adjusted well, and their Yuanyuan's appetite, which had been a little sluggish, also recovered.
In addition, the appearance of the herd brought another benefit.
As the amount of meat in everyone's hands increased, the amount of skins accumulated by everyone increased visibly.
Families with fewer people saved up at least seven or eight wolf skins and a dozen pig skins.
For a city with a large population, a dozen cards are not enough.
Some people felt that the leather they had was not enough, so they asked the village chief to exchange it for a batch from public supplies.
Although the leather in public supplies is severely damaged, you can still make a lot of good stuff by piecing them together.
The animal fur in the extreme cold season is much thicker than in previous disasters, and it is a good time to tan it and make warm woolen clothes or bedding.
These two days, the women and helpers not only processed the meat, but also mainly cleaned up the skins.
There are not many people in the village who can tan leather, only Wucheng, Wuyang, and Gao Dalin.
At first, Gao Dalin thought about making a fortune by helping the villagers tan leather. After all, his recent expenses were much higher than those of others.
But when the villagers brought all the skins, he was dumbfounded looking at the hundreds of skins.
How long will it take to finish this amount of leather? My hands will be wasted!
Finally, after asking Wu Cheng for his opinion, Gao Dalin hesitated for a while and finally announced the methods of tanning leather, such as water tanning and oil tanning, that they knew, and let the villagers do it themselves.
In the past, leather tanning was a skill that could be used to make a living and was not easily passed on to outsiders.
But they have space rings, so they can buy safe houses in the future. The many supplies they have saved can also be sold for money after the disaster. Children who attend private schools can write and do math, so it is a foregone conclusion that they will become rich men in the second half of their lives.
Looking at it this way, there's no need to cling to this skill.
It even made Gao Dalin look like a fool for having to earn this hard-earned money.
After learning the tanning method, the villagers who were not responsible for fighting soon started processing leather while processing meat.
The remaining meat and fat on the skin are removed, and then it is washed, and then tanned by soaking in solution or hammering. After careful processing, the finished product is mostly not too bad.
Among them, wild boar fur is mainly used to make brushes and sturdy and durable gloves, while wolf skin is made into wolf skin mattresses.
With a wolfskin mattress, you can stay warm when you sleep even without a self-heating blanket.
The key point is that the skins are the spoils divided among the young and strong people in the family, and the psychological sense of accomplishment cannot be brought by buying a blanket at a grocery store.
·
In the open space outside the village, a new day of fighting has begun.
The hunting team members skillfully attacked the surrounding wild boars.
Fireballs, ice arrows, and earth spikes flew all at once, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Because the number of wild boars is so large, from time to time you can see some people narrowly avoiding the impact of multiple frenzied wild boars, and the scene looks quite dangerous.
But Lu Xuan, who stayed behind to observe the overall situation, had no intention of helping at all, and only occasionally spoke to provide some supernatural power guidance.
"Don't always think about winning by sheer volume. Try to compress your force as much as possible, use a small amount to achieve a big result, and aim for the vital points."
"The heart isn't the only vital point. Use earth spikes or ice arrows. Aim for the wild boar's eyes and stab them hard to blind them. If you use enough force, you can even pierce their heads directly, killing them just the same."
"Don't use water attacks on wild boars. Their hides are so thick. You've been using them for days, haven't you noticed how inefficient it is? Just cover the pigs' heads with water balloons and drown them."
Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Chengming, who always wanted to imitate him and cut off the wild boar's head or heart, and reminded him: "Chop off the limbs, and then chop off the head when the wild boar is able to move."
Zhang Chengming was cheered up and immediately changed the direction of attack.
The audience in the live broadcast room was amazed:
[The anchor has a really dirty heart.]
[Wild boar: Damn two-legged beasts, you have no moral principles! Cursing.]
[Host: You came here to seek death, I am here to help you!]
【Hahahaha, besides poking eyes, you can also kick crotch.】
Is kicking the crotch a joke? Wild animals run on all fours, so how do you kick them? Do you dive into the crotch first?
[You're the one who's going to make me laugh to death. 】
Although the audience is having a lot of fun joking about the memes, in fact, the attack methods mentioned by Lu Xuan are also often used by the psychics of the Star Alliance.
What really refreshed the audience's perspective in the live broadcast room was the advice Lu Xuan gave to Li Jing.
He actually asked Li Jing to reverse the operation of the wood-type ability!
What is reverse?
Promoting plant growth is positive, giving plants more vitality and allowing them to grow quickly.
Then, conversely, can wood-related abilities also deprive plants and animals of their vitality?
After seeing Lu Xuan explain the reverse method to Li Jing and demonstrate it to him personally, using his wood-based abilities to kill ten wild boars simultaneously without any visible wounds, the entire live broadcast room went wild.
[Wait!!! Wood-type abilities can be used like this!?]
[This cheat is too big! ]
Why does the Wood element have so many untapped abilities? It's completely different from what I thought.
"Before, I only knew that Wood-type Psychics could stimulate the growth of crops, making them particularly profitable. Later, I learned that they could contract mutant plants as bodyguards. Now, you're telling me that Wood-type Psychics are also powerful fighters in their own right!?"
Isn't it even more ridiculous that we've possessed superpowers longer, yet how come we don't know as much as the anchor who's been around for ten years in the apocalypse?
[I'm calling out the official team! I'm so disappointed in you for being completely clueless about Wood-type abilities! [Image: jpg]]
[Ahhhh! I've never had any thoughts about awakening wood-type abilities, but now, I really want to be a wood-type!]
[+1, can make money, strong fighting power, who wouldn't want it. ]
[I feel like there will be more people who want to awaken the Wood element in the future.]
[If you want superpowers, you can have them. Otherwise, I'll be the first to wish for them to be copied!]
Compared with the live broadcast room where the number of online users soared and the emotions continued to be high, Li Jing's own reaction was average.
On the one hand, even if he absorbed the vitality, because of his low proficiency and level, the effect produced by Li Jing was unsatisfactory. He could only make the pig half-dead, and the physical feeling was naturally not very pleasant.
On the other hand, Li Jing still prefers farming in his heart.
The audience who saw his thoughts: ...
They just wanted to grab Li Jing's shoulders and shake him madly: Why don't you give me such a useful superpower!
…
Defeating the wild boars does not mean the battle is over.
Because there were also several big insects mixed in with the wild boars to attack.
When they first discovered the wild boars and the big insects mixed together, Lu Xuan and the audience were speechless.
What I mean is, does it make sense that predators and prey can mingle together without fighting each other?
Is the influence of the red moon really that serious? It goes against the laws of nature.
However, the opportunity to encounter several big beasts at once is indeed rare.
Without the harassment from the wild boars, the hunting team surrounded the big insects that were trapped by Lu Xuan in advance, and began to practice on them one by one.
The members of the hunting team had only experienced fighting giant insects through holographic equipment before. This was their first time facing them head-on, so they had to practice hard!
The big tiger whose flesh was cut by their blunt knife: I am not a human, but you are real dogs!
[Hey, isn't it good to just live a good life? Why do you have to cause trouble for the anchor? Aren't you just asking for trouble? ]
If you encounter a herd of wild boars, it would be much easier to just grab a couple, eat them, and run away. This way, you won't be tortured repeatedly by the hunting team.
[It's not the bugs' fault either; it's mainly Blood Moon's fault.]
There are only three big beasts in total, but there are more than twenty people with special abilities who want to practice.
The three-headed tiger didn't last long before it collapsed to the ground filled with anger and frustration.
Zhang Chengming and others' faces clearly showed that they were still unsatisfied.
Xiong Mao even said arrogantly, "Big tigers are nothing special. Their meat isn't tasty, but their skin is just okay."
Now the leather is still in tatters after being beaten by them.
It can be said that the only contribution of these three beasts is to give them some practical experience.
A big beast that is still despised even after its death: %￥#@!
Li Tuo, who personally participated in hunting the big beast, also felt a special sense of accomplishment at this time.
However, after hearing what Xiong Mao said, he felt a little disappointed when he thought that the animals that had come in the past few days were wild boars, wolves and other carnivorous beasts, whose meat was very fishy.
"Hey, it would be nice if the beasts that come next time are the kind with delicious meat."
Lu Xuan: “…”
Audience in the live broadcast room: The beasts are here to take your lives, and you picked them?
Originally, Lu Xuan and the audience didn't take Li Tuo's words to heart.
But just as they had cleaned up the prey on the ground and were about to go back to sleep, they heard the ground shaking slightly again, and a muffled cry came faintly from the distance.
The hunting team members, exhausted and hungry, had used up all their superpowers: "..."
Liu Chun, whose lips had turned white from giving others extra boosts, held his head and said, "No way! Another group has arrived so soon? Can't we even rest?"
The other people's faces didn't look good either.
According to the pattern of the past few days, they could rest after defeating one wave, so why did the beast herd have to work overtime today?
Now they just want to go back and have a good sleep.
Lu Xuan looked through the telescope and saw the beasts approaching from a distance. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and said to Li Tuo, "You got it right."
Li Tuo: “?”
The others were moved and quickly took the telescope to take a look.
Zhang Chengming was the first to stand up excitedly. He clapped his hands vigorously at Li Tuo, who happened to be standing next to him. "Boy, are you lucky enough to get some meat with your mouth?"
