Chapter 61 Dealing with the Extreme Cold after the War
"Thanks for your hard work."
Qiao Qiao climbed down from the tree and reached out to the person slumped on the ground.
"Thank you." Zhao Yao used the force to stand up and put the dead wild boar into the system backpack.
She was a little reluctant to let go of the machete in her hand, but still returned it.
The two were so tired that they didn't speak along the way. They lowered their heads and searched along the traces left by Zhao San and others.
"sister!"
A figure rushed over and hugged Zhao Yao tightly.
She hugged her sister back and gently stroked her head, "Don't be afraid, sister is fine."
Everyone else walked out from the path, "Yaoyao."
Zhao Gang's face turned pale, his arm was tied with a bandage and hung around his neck, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Qiao."
Although they looked a little disheveled, they did not have any fatal wounds. Qiao Qiao nodded.
"It's okay. Let's go back first and discuss how to divide the spoils later."
Three wild boars exceeded the plan, so the 10 kilograms of wild boar meat agreed in advance naturally could not be counted.
However, they didn't know that Qiao Qiao had already obtained the little wild boar, and she was not going to say it out. After all, it was hunted by Yueying and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Under the leadership of Zhao San, the five people quickly returned to the Special Management Bureau.
Zhao Gang took off his heavy clothes, "Xiao Yue, go look for other wild boar hunting missions. If there are any, we can directly submit the two-week mission goal."
"Okay." Zhao Yue nodded. The excitement of escaping death had not yet subsided, and he jumped to the taskbar.
After running all the way, everyone was a little tired and sat on the chairs on the right side of the room to rest.
Zhao Gang swallowed a painkiller and coughed twice. "Miss Qiao, you were the one who killed the big wild boar. You also helped me with the weapons for the other one. You should take the biggest one."
After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued, "But after all, this is our team's mission, and our family has contributed a lot. So, after deducting the bureau's share, you take the big wild boar, and the remaining one belongs to us. Do you think this is okay?"
Everyone else stared at Qiao Qiao, not missing any of her expressions.
Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes, thinking that this division was quite reasonable.
"Can."
Zhao Yao's nervous expression disappeared, and she smiled brightly, "Thank you for your understanding."
"I'm back." Zhao Yue ran back and put the task list in his hand on the table. "There is only one task left for hunting wild boars. The others have been taken by others."
Zhao Gang stood up and said, "Miss Qiao, shall we go together?"
Qiao Qiao nodded.
"Hello, the Xingyao team submits the mission." Zhao Gang handed over two task sheets and took out the wild boar from the system backpack.
Qiao Qiao also took it out.
"Wow!"
As soon as the two wild boars appeared, shocked voices were heard all around.
"Which team is this? They just hunted two wild boars!"
"A wild boar this big, after deducting the portion taken by the bureau, the rest should be enough to eat for several years."
"I'm so envious. Let's ask them when they're going out again so we can join them."
"Look, there are only five of them, including old people and children. Their strength should not be underestimated. They may look down on us."
"So what? We are all card drawers. Who is nobler than who? If you are an SR-level card drawer, you will be worshipped by the bureau."
The staff quickly brought out a huge scale and lifted the wild boars onto it one by one.
As soon as the wild boar was put on, a number appeared on the screen.
【260KG】
Then they clicked the button on the scale, and with a "buzz" the wild boar was cut in half, and no one saw what was made of it.
After a few seconds, the blood slowly flowed out, fell on the scale and disappeared inexplicably. Not only did it not splash everywhere, it did not even stain the ground.
【130KG】
Several uniformed staff members put half of the wild boar into bags and carried it away.
Another staff member said, “You can take the rest back.”
Qiao Qiao stepped forward and put the remaining wild boar meat into the system backpack, with a question mark on his face, "What is this?"
Zhao Yao explained, "It is said to be an R-level card that can accurately weigh and cut everything. The key is that it is absolutely fair."
[R-rated card fair scale]
After registering, Qiao Qiao handed in 12 N-level cards for her parents at once, and the three of them didn't have to come here for two weeks.
After checking the tablet and not finding the cards I liked, I prepared to go home.
However, I also took on a few missions involving mutant plants, including the one I saw before.
Although Sister Ku advised her not to take this, the reward of the SR-level card drawing ticket was too tempting. With Qiao Man and Yueying around, she might still have a chance of winning.
"Hunting mutant plants in the growth stage."
After returning home, Qiao Huizhou's fever had subsided and his mental state was much better.
Qiao Xinghe heard the door open and stood at the stairs to ask, "How is it? Is everything going well?"
"Don't worry, everything will go well." Qiao Qiao took out two wild boar carcasses and handed them to Qiao Xinghe.
Then I changed into a set of warm plush pajamas and ran to the second floor to sit on the kang and squeeze next to my mother.
“It’s so warm!”
It is worthy of being a renovated greenhouse. After the fire wall and kang are ignited, the temperature of the whole room can reach 20℃ above zero.
Qiao Huizhou pushed his daughter away from his bed and covered her with a new blanket. "Stay away from me, or I'll infect you."
"I'm not afraid." Qiao Qiao pouted, put her cold feet in, and placed them on her mother's legs to keep warm.
Qiao Xinghe did not deal with the wild boar immediately. He put it into the kitchen and returned to the kang. He picked up the small square table on the ground and sat cross-legged while eating melon seeds.
Yueying sat in a chair beside the kang and silently peeled various nuts.
While petting the cat, Qiao Qiao talked about the changing policies and what he saw on the road.
After listening, Qiao Huizhou said, "Should we save some cards to trade livestock now?"
Qiao Qiao took the pine nuts that Yueying had peeled and said, "We don't know what the other party wants yet. If it's just an N-level card, then everything will be fine. But if it's an R-level card, it will be very troublesome."
Qiao Xinghe analyzed, "Since he proposed the card trade, it proves that he knows about it. If he is not short of supplies, N-level cards like this should not be able to impress him."
Qiao Qiao sighed, "This is also what I am worried about. R-level cards are too precious, and even we don't have many of them."
Qiao Xinghe put the chopped pear into a bowl and handed it to his wife. "These dignitaries don't want materials, they want items that are beyond current technology. I'm afraid that resource-based R-level cards can't satisfy them."
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I'm reluctant to give them the cards they want."
Qiao Huizhou ate a piece of pear to moisten his throat. "Don't worry. There will always be a way out. Maybe we can get duplicate cards in a few days."
Qiao Qiao hesitated, "In fact, there is a card that we don't need and can be traded away, but..."

She would rather trade with the Special Administration or the Federation. If this kind of item can be studied by the Academy of Sciences,
Qiao Huizhou smiled and rubbed her head vigorously, "Don't worry, be careful of hair loss."
Qiao Qiao recalled the miserable state after washing her hair, “Ahhhhhhh this is not allowed!”
The room was warm and made people sleepy. After a while, the three of them lay down and were about to fall asleep.
Qiao Xinghe suddenly asked: "What are we having for dinner?"
Qiao Qiao turned over and hugged her mother who was sleeping in the middle. "Barbecue? Mom, can you do it?"
"Can."
"Okay, I'll clean up the wild boar later and taste the pork belly."
"Um…"
The voices gradually faded away, and Yueying came downstairs silently.
There were two wild boars, one big and one small, placed on the kitchen floor, with a snakeskin bag underneath to prevent the floor from getting dirty.
He recalled Qiao Xinghe's movements when shaving the meat.
A liquid shadow emerged from the body, covering half of the pig, and closed its eyes.
Wherever the shadow is, that is His domain.
Every piece of meat and every bone of the wild boar can be seen clearly.
The shadow was like sulfuric acid, gradually dissolving the fur. The most complicated task of slaughtering a pig seemed as easy as a game in His hands.
Then the shadow drilled into the junction of meat and bones and turned into a blade. With a slight movement, the pork was separated instantly.
After a while, the originally complete half pig was divided into four parts. Nearly 100 kg of meat was piled on the left. The advantage of wild boar is that it has more lean meat and less fat.
On the right is a complete 20kg skeleton with some meat still hanging from the spine, perfect for making ribs.
The internal organs were piled on top. I don’t know if they liked them, but they kept them all, about 15kg; below were the pig’s head, trotters, tail, etc., about 6kg.
As for the remaining wild boar, I heard that Qiao Qiao wanted to eat roast suckling pig. Although it is a little bigger than the ordinary suckling pig, they are all pigs, so it should be about the same...
The Shadow comes with its own self-cleaning function, and after removing the fur, internal organs and hoofs again, it is placed on the countertop.
At 17:00, the three of them got up.
Qiao Huizhou looked at the kitchen in shock, "Wow, who did this?"
Qiao Xinghe smiled and glanced at the shadow who was pretending to be good under his daughter again, and teased: "Maybe there is a snail girl in our family."
Qiao Qiao squatted on the ground and patted Shadow, "It's you, thank you, Yueying."
The shadow rolled over and didn't appear, but just said muffledly: "You're welcome."
In the evening, the family of three put the baking tray on the kang.
There were two tables full of dishes including beef tenderloin, beef belly, beef ribs, pork belly, lettuce, shrimp, oysters, scallops, potatoes, mushrooms, etc.
"Sizzle." Along with the sound of the beef ribs being put into the baking tray, the aroma instantly filled the entire place.
Qiao Qiao swallowed and lowered her head and asked, "Yueying, can you eat?"
Shadow emerged halfway, "You can eat it."
Her eyes lit up. "Then will you eat three meals a day with us?"
Shadow shook his head gently, "No, I don't feel hungry even if I don't eat."
Qiao Qiao shook her head in disapproval, "But it feels different. Sometimes even if I'm not hungry, I will still eat at that time."
I couldn't help laughing as I said this, "Eating is not just to fill your stomach, but also to keep your mood happy."
Qiao Huizhou laughed and joked, "What a twisted theory."
"No, I'll be happy if I eat delicious food." Qiao Qiao said as he put a chopstick full of barbecue on his plate. "Yueying, you eat too."
He was somewhat flattered and immediately knelt down on the kang, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Come and try this beef. It's super delicious."
…
177th day of doomsday.
Qiao Qiao and Qiao Xinghe both accumulated ten consecutive draws and drew two R-level cards respectively.
【Backpack Expansion Card＊1】
[R-level card constant temperature clothing * 1]
The constant temperature suit is used by Qiao Huizhou, so there is an extra special cold-proof suit. Although it cannot be restored to the card form, it is a system product after all, so it can be kept for trading.
Qiao Huizhou's backpack grid is unlocked to 75*75.
181 days after the end of the world.
Qiao Huizhou accumulated ten consecutive draws and was extremely lucky, winning two R-level cards.
【Backpack Expansion Card＊1】
【R-class electric heater＊1】
The backpack grid is unlocked to 80*80, and only the last 4 cards are needed to unlock them all.
As for the R-level card electric heater, the target already has one at home, so this one can also be traded.
The urgent problem has been solved and everything is moving in the right direction.
but…
On the 182nd day of the apocalypse, something happened to Xiao Qiao!
