Chapter 43 Caught a Wild Boar
Qin Muxue and Ding Manman sat on Zhenzhu's back. Zhenzhu was running on the snow like a large and nimble cheetah. Qu Yanbai followed behind them on the snowboard, very steadily.
Qin Muxue suddenly felt some strange noises coming from the box beside her. "Zhenzhu, wait, stop first." She shouted to remind them.
Zhenzhu was still running at lightning speed, but she stopped immediately after hearing Qin Muxue's shout.
She meowed in confusion, and Qin Muxue asked Manman, "Did you hear any strange noises?"
They heard a faint shout coming from the suitcase. The two looked at each other. Qin Muxue carefully opened the suitcase and found that it was Wu You who was curled up inside the suitcase.
Wu You's stomach was churning due to the bumpy ride. It was fine at first, but later he couldn't bear it any longer and could only shout. Fortunately, Qin Muxue had a keen hearing, otherwise he would have suffocated to death.
As soon as he came out, he quickly started to vomit on the side of the road. Only after he had vomited out all the stuff in his stomach did he feel a little better.
He looked up and saw a vast expanse of white before him. Not far away were rolling mountains covered with a layer of white snow. From a distance, they looked like large ice cream cones. They were now standing at the foot of such a mountain.
Wu You was still young, and this was the first time he saw such a scene. He wiped the dirt from the corners of his mouth and was stunned. "Wow, this place is so beautiful."
Nature exudes a primitive charm that makes everyone stunned.
"How do we get up there?" Qin Muxue interrupted the moment of enjoying the beautiful scenery and considered the practical issues.
She picked up Wu You's hat and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wu You looked at Qin Muxue pitifully and said weakly, "I want to come out with you, but you will never agree, so I can only come up with this idea."
Qin Muxue curled the corner of her mouth. They had already walked a long way. If they returned along the same route, it would definitely take a lot of time.
"Sister Qin, please leave me here. I will definitely behave myself and not cause any trouble."
Wu You hugged Baozhu with a look of wanting to cry, and Baozhu was also sobbing, as if trying to persuade Qin Muxue to keep him.
A sharp cold wind blew, and everyone had to wrap their clothes tightly. Fortunately, there was Pearl in front to block the wind.
Seeing this, Qin Muxue could only say helplessly: "Okay, you can stay, but you have to promise not to make trouble and be obedient, understand!"
Qin Muxue knew that Wu You would also possess powerful explosive abilities in the future, so it might not be a bad thing to keep him by her side and train him well.
Moreover, Qu Yanbai and she taught him a lot of knowledge, and believed that he could adapt to such a harsh environment.
"Yes, Sister Qin, Sister Manman, and Brother Qu, don't worry. I will be obedient and will not hold you back." His eyes were firm, with a maturity that was not expected of a teenager of his age.
Seeing that he was not wearing a scarf, Ding Manman took off her own scarf and wrapped it around his neck.
Qu Yanbai shouted: "Okay, we can't waste any more time, let's get going!"
They were still about five miles away from the foot of the ski resort. At their current speed, they would arrive in about 10 minutes.
Zhenzhu was a little tired at this time. Qin Muxue remembered that there were still a few off-road vehicles in the space that she had bought for free before, but the snow was too thick and it was difficult to move forward in the snow. The snowplow was too slow. She searched for a long time and finally found a snowmobile that could seat four people, plus a dog and a cat, so it was barely okay.
She had seen this in an exhibition hall before and thought it would be useful, so she bought it.
A luxurious snowmobile appeared out of thin air in front of him, and Wu You's eyes widened, "Wow, where did this come from?" There was clearly nothing here just now.
Qin Muxue touched his head and said, "This is magical."
"Sister Qin, I'm not a child anymore. I don't believe in magic anymore. Please don't lie to me." Seeing his serious look, everyone knew they couldn't hide it from him anymore. Qin Muxue also planned to teach him some knowledge about superpowers.
So they began to explain to him some of the special powers they possessed. Wu You nodded thoughtfully. There was some advanced knowledge that he couldn't digest yet, but he could basically understand what they meant.
Qu Yanbai volunteered to sit in the driver's seat, Qin Muxue sat next to him, and behind him were Ding Manman, Wu You, Zhenzhu and Baozhu.
With nothing extra, they headed for the road that led to the snow resort.
Snowmobiles are usually used in ski resorts as special vehicles for rescue, transportation, and entertainment. They are usually front skis and rear tracks, and can move quickly on the snow and climb up snow slopes with an angle of more than 25 degrees. Small ski resorts can also be equipped with snow plows to level the snow slopes.
The snowmobile was speeding forward in the snow field. This time, everyone's speed increased a lot. Zhenzhu had consumed a lot of mental energy and was now nestling in Ding Manman's arms to rest.
After a while, they arrived at the ski resort, but unfortunately everything had changed because the previous flood had submerged all the facilities at the foot of the mountain. Now the temperature suddenly dropped and the flood water froze into ice, and all the supplies were buried under the ice water.
Qu Yanbai picked up the telescope and looked at the situation on the mountain. There was a snow resort and a ski field halfway up the mountain, which were specially used for skiing by snow enthusiasts.
"The resort over there has not been covered by snow yet. We can go there and take a look." Qu Yanbai said, pointing to the location of the resort.
"good."
The snowmobile sped through the mountains and fields towards the resort. Qu Yanbai was a good driver. He chose a route with few trees blocking the way and drove the car smoothly to the halfway point of the mountain.
Although they had taken adequate precautions, they still felt quite cold sitting in the car. Because Ding Manman gave her scarf to Wu You, her hat was blown away in the car just now. Her ears and nose were frozen red.
Qu Yanbai took off his hat and put it on her head, "Don't catch a cold. Wear it if you don't mind."
"Thank you..." There was still a trace of warmth on the hat.
Qin Muxue looked around the ski resort. Perhaps because it was located halfway up the mountain and in the forest, the flood did not affect this place.
If this is the case, this place needs more attention, as there may be other survivors.
"You guys should pay close attention to see if there are other people in this place. If someone attacks you, show no mercy and kill them." There was a ruthless look in Qin Muxue's eyes.
Wu You was still a child, and was a little scared when he heard the word "kill" for the first time. "Sister Manman, do we have to kill others? Our teacher taught us in school that killing is wrong."
Ding Manman squatted down and said earnestly: "Now it is different from before. If you have mercy on the enemy, you will be the one who dies. So don't show mercy to those who attack you. They are all bad people and bad people should be killed."
Although it was cruel to tell him this fact, there was no other way. She had to teach him that the rules of the old world were no longer applicable to the present world.
There are cases of cannibalism, not to mention killing each other. The survivors will do anything to survive.
She still remembered the scene in the school library. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, Chi Ze's vivid description still made her feel frightened. How could something that usually happened in horror movies happen here?
Qin Muxue stood in front of the resort, looking at the old European-style yet once prosperous hotel, and suddenly remembered a movie called "The Shining".
This is a classic horror movie. It tells the story of a male protagonist who came to the snowy mountains and accepted a job as a winter janitor in a hotel with his wife and children. Later, he was driven crazy by fantasies and actually chopped his family with an axe. Because the movie was too classic, this scene flashed in Qin Muxue's mind, and suddenly she felt that this place was a little weird.
But before everyone could react, they heard a crash not far away, as if some animal was roaring.
The hotel is surrounded by forests and it is normal to see wild animals.
Qin Muxue took a look and found that it was a wild boar. It was banging against the railings of the hotel because it couldn't find the entrance. The wild boar was very large and had sharp teeth, but it didn't look like it had evolved.
Qin Muxue grinned, it seemed that there would be fresh wild boar meat to eat soon.
He shouted to Qu Yanbai, "Take good care of them. I'll be back soon."
"Be careful, it's an adult wild boar, and its attack power is very strong."
Qin Muxue originally wanted to hunt the wild boar, but the gem on her chest suddenly felt a burning sensation, and soon she discovered that there seemed to be some more things coming out of the space.
In addition to the storage area and planting area, a breeding area has also evolved in her space, which means that she has a mobile pasture.
At that moment, Qin Muxue decided to give up hunting the wild boar. Compared to the wild boar that could be eaten now, she hoped to eat unlimited fresh pork.
She put down the crossbow and found the anesthetic needle in the space. She didn't have a anesthetic gun, but she didn't know if she could use a bow and arrow to shoot the anesthetic needle into the wild boar.
Once this idea came into her mind, Qin Muxue began to estimate the distance. Finally, she hid behind a small wooden house and used a bow and arrow to make a simple arrow with anesthetic.
As long as it is shot into the wild boar, it will be automatically injected.
Wu You followed behind Qin Muxue, watching her make tools and pulling the bowstring, his eyes full of admiration.
"Shh, don't make any sound." Qin Muxue reminded him.
The wild boars were still banging against the railings angrily. They could no longer find any food in the wild, and only by entering this resort could they possibly find some food.
Suddenly, the wild boar felt something sharp piercing its butt. When it came to its senses, it struggled violently, which made the anesthetic spread throughout its body faster.
It was paralyzed in the snow, feeling that it had no strength left in its body. It seemed that it had been attacked by some terrible monster. Thinking this, the wild boar slowly lost consciousness.
Qin Muxue walked to the wild boar and stuffed it into the breeding area of the space. When it was empty, she would go in to see what the breeding area looked like.
The wild boar she saw just now was a sow, and it seemed to be still in the lactation period. It seemed that it had given birth to a litter of piglets. If she could find those piglets, then her ranch would suddenly have a lot of pigs.
But no one knew where the pig gave birth to its piglets. Qin Muxue looked around and saw a forest not far away.
Qu Yanbai seemed to have guessed what Qin Muxue was thinking and suggested, "Why don't we go to that forest first to see if there are any piglets."
"good."
The four followed the wild boar's footprints and came to the forest. However, the forest was so big that the piglet was indeed difficult to find after the footprints disappeared.
Now it was Baozhu's turn to appear. She barked twice, smelled the scent of wild boar in the snow, and seemed to have known which direction it was.
"Woof woof!" (Follow me)
Everyone seemed to understand what she meant and followed her. Some trees in the forest had not yet withered, but some had already become dead branches.
They found a dozen piglets in an inconspicuous little hole covered with weeds.
These little wild boars were grunting. One of them seemed to sense danger and was about to escape, but was stopped by Baozhu and pushed back into the cave.
"Baozhu, you are so amazing." Qin Muxue couldn't help but admire.
"Woof woof!" Baozhu couldn't help but wag her tail.
Qin Muxue stuffed all the piglets into the space breeding area. She didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest this time. Moreover, the ecological environment of this forest is very good, as if it had never been affected by any disaster. The temperature is not as cold as outside, and it feels like a constant temperature.
Wu You even found a few fancy mushrooms, but Qu Yanbai reminded him, "You can't eat these. They are poisonous."
"What about this?" Ding Manman found a few white mushrooms. "This one has no color."
Qin Muxue glanced at the mushroom and said, "Don't underestimate this white mushroom, it is also poisonous. You see it grows in a humid place, which is where poisonous mushrooms grow easily. Non-toxic mushrooms grow under trees, so it's best not to eat them."
Ding Manman and Wu You were so scared that they threw away the mushrooms in their hands. They didn't want to be poisoned to death by the mushrooms.
A few people originally wanted to stay in the woods for a while, but the blizzard seemed to become bigger and more violent, and the cold wind made the trees whistle in the woods. They decided to search the hotel first and then come back to the woods after the blizzard stopped.
