60. Moray eel
Su Liu always felt that he was not a greedy person.
As a result, she now realized that she was not greedy, but there was nothing worth her greed.
She purified one ton, two tons, three tons... countless small conger eels, but it still felt not enough.
I just want more and more, to catch all the conger eels, the more the better.
The special forces team did not urge her to finish her work. They only covered her while she was purifying and recycling the species, and packed the purified conger eels and sent them back to the airship.
The airship had to rush to other places for rescue, and the team was left behind in the ice field.
After nightfall, the team rested in a deserted village.
The village was attacked by strange beasts and almost all the villagers were killed. Even the corpses were eaten clean, leaving only some blood and flesh residues stuck to the walls of the buildings.
Su Liu turned on the light, and the bloody handprints on the snow-white wall were particularly glaring.
Probably, he was torn apart and eaten alive by sea beasts. From the handprints, you can tell how painful his death was.
As she was gazing with the lantern in hand, she caught a glimpse of an object flying towards her from the corner of her eye.
She grabbed it reflexively and looked down to see that it was a crystal core.
"Thanks, Senior Bi."
Bi Yanmian came in from outside, still looking numb and lifeless, but the blood on his military uniform made him look more serious and solemn.
"You should be able to use the crystal core taken out from the alien plant." Bi Yanmian said.
Su Liu closed his eyes and absorbed it, but still didn't feel any changes.
The fire-type psychic in the team lit the fireplace, and the flames made the room much warmer.
Su Liu sat down on the chair and heard Bi Yanmian ask, "Didn't you go to the infected area with Siegfried and the others?"
"Yes, I received an order on the way back and was called here." Su Liu finished speaking and smiled again, "I didn't expect to run into Senior Bi again."
Bi Yanmian happened to be part of the special forces team that was covering her. When the two met, they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
The woman in the team held the box and asked, "There's a blizzard. We can't get this box back to the airship for the time being. Will we die if we wait until tomorrow?"
Su Liu felt that the chances of survival were slim, "This box has been purified, and its survival ability is not strong enough. Since it can't survive, we will eat it tonight."
"Eat it?" The woman felt a little complicated.
In their minds, these were still alien beasts. They had only heard of alien beasts eating people, but never heard of people eating alien beasts.
Bi Yanmian didn't dwell on this. He stood up and said, "I'll prepare the pot. Do you need anything else?"
"It would be even better if there was an iron rack. I'll make some grilled eel." Su Liu took out various seasonings from the storage robot.
Seeing how well prepared she was, Bi Yanmian couldn't help but feel mixed emotions: "You really never forget to eat wherever you go."
“Because I never had the chance to eat these before.”
For orphans like Su Liu who live in an orphanage, being able to eat and drink enough is the greatest happiness.
Tuna, eel, sweet shrimp, these seafood are delicious foods that can only be seen on TV.
Now that I have the chance to taste it, how could I miss it?
After everything was ready, Su Liu began to show off his cooking skills.
Grab a fresh eel, remove the head, tail and internal organs in a few seconds, and then lightly score the fish meat a few times to make it more flavorful.
Then marinate the fish with onion, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, cooking wine, pepper, etc. Use the most primitive method to grill it directly over the fire, and a grilled eel is ready.
In addition to roasting, the remaining eel meat can be steamed, braised, and made into sweet and sour flavors. Making sea eel soup is also a way of eating that Su Liu has always wanted to try.
While the others were on guard, Su Liu was busy alone and it took him three or four hours to complete a full eel feast.
Eel rice, eel soup, braised eel, pan-fried eel, teriyaki eel...
The people with special abilities took turns to eat, and when they saw the table full of delicious dishes, their jaws dropped.
Only Bi Yanmian knew Su Liu's cooking skills. He devoured the food in no time and gave Su Liu a thumbs up.
"tasty!"
Su Liu was also very satisfied with the meal and wished he could catch dozens more tons of eels so that he would have an endless supply of eels to eat in the future.
By the time everyone had finished dinner, there were still dozens left in the box.
They wouldn't live until tomorrow, so Su Liu simply roasted them into dried eels and ate them as snacks.
The process of killing eels is bloody and cruel, but Su Liu remains calm and kills them cleanly and efficiently.
Bi Yanmian, who was standing guard at the door, said, "You didn't even frown."
Su Liu raised his knife and cut off the eel's head, leaving his hands covered in blood.
"Don't look at me like this, I've worked very hard to survive until now."
Although she was lucky enough to meet many people who loved her as an orphan, in fact, she still failed to become a flower in a greenhouse.
It’s the same now. If you want to survive, you can’t just hide behind others in a coquettish way.
After working all night, it was already dawn when the dried eels were ready.
The storm finally stopped, and the team covered Su Liu's recovery of species while tracking the signal to return to the airship.
The situation remains grim.
In the command room, the commander told everyone that the white whale, the lord of the "nuclear" disaster, was continuing to evolve and mutate at an alarming rate.
It is possible that this disaster will escalate into a "devouring" disaster that can easily destroy the entire planet.
The Legion suffered heavy losses in the rescue efforts over the past few days. Considering that a "devouring" disaster might really be coming, it has sought support from the Empire and asked other legions to come and assist.
As soon as the commander finished speaking, Su Liu covered his ears.
She raised her head and looked around, seeing that no one else was reacting.
"Did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?" Bi Yanmian was standing next to her.
"A sound," Sulu said, "like a whale singing, very ethereal."
The people around looked at each other in confusion.
They heard nothing.
Su Liu thought he was hallucinating, so he covered his ears with his hands and then released them.
But the sound not only did not disappear, but became longer and higher-pitched, as if there were thousands of whales swimming from afar accompanied by the waves, and the sound waves gathered into a siren-like song, rippling across the entire planet.
Su Liu felt a burst of intense panic, and the severe heart palpitations made her breathe rapidly and stand unsteadily.
When she bent down, Bi Yanmian noticed her abnormality and immediately supported her and asked, "Junior? Are you okay?"
Su Liu shook his head a little painfully.
She remembered that time.
Zhang Yanchen took Lin Roufang home and, in front of her and her father, asked her to go to the Marriage Bureau to cancel the engagement, and then pack her bags to go to jail.
Dad was so angry that he picked up a chair and smashed it on Zhang Yanchen's head. She heard a hissing sound similar to that of a snake. In an instant, she broke out in a cold sweat, had difficulty breathing, and lowered her head in pain.
Dad thought she was mad with anger and rushed to support her.
But at that time, Jörmungandr, the lord of the "devourer", appeared on the planet K-72.
A magnitude 9 earthquake followed.
The catastrophe descends upon the planet.
Now, it's so similar to that time.
Su Liu's body continued to slide down, and he knelt on the ground, breathing hard, and said, "Here it comes."
It's coming.
Everyone was puzzled, but then the planet trembled.
