Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Executions Everyone better get used to it. ...
"What?"
"What are you stir-frying?"
Fang Qin felt that he was probably crazy to hear such strange words. Otherwise, how could anyone think of eating the corpses of insects?
"Stir-fried flying wing insects."
"Look, she cleaned up the insect corpses. Is it true that you won't die if you eat this?"
Everyone was talking at once, and most people were just watching the show, but in fact few people agreed with this matter. To them, eating the corpses of insects was too unbelievable.
Only Lou Cheng and his men gathered in the innermost circle, waiting to eat the dish as soon as it came out of the pot.
"Boss, is this really edible?"
"Yes, trust me it will be delicious."
“…”
Lou Cheng's men looked at each other, communicating with each other with their eyes, and they almost had the words "The boss is really crazy" written on their foreheads.
Doctors have tested it with special instruments and found that the flying insects are not poisonous.
Ning Hanzhu cut the flying wing insect into several parts and removed its internal organs. Because the ingredients were limited, she added some seasonings and simply stir-fried it in a pot. The aroma wafted at least three miles away.
"Want to try it?"
"I'll go first."
Lou Cheng couldn't wait. The aroma of her spicy stir-fry was so alluring that many people came here, attracted by the smell. Lou Cheng squatted there for a long time, unable to bear the smell alone. But as soon as he stood up, he was suppressed by a group of boys behind him. "Boss, calm down, this thing is really not edible."
“Yes, yes.”
Ning Hanzhu watched as they stacked Lou Cheng on top of her like a pyramid, watching her closely, so she simply picked up a piece of meat and took a bite. "Stir-frying just a flying wing insect seems a bit too monotonous. If there were rice cakes, tofu, green onions, and potatoes, it would be even more flavorful."
The meat of the winged insect's forelimbs is delicate and tastes exceptionally smooth. Take a bite, and the meaty aroma immediately spreads between your lips and teeth.
Ning Hanzhu commented simply, "The meat of the flying winged insect is even more tender than that of the grunt beast. It is suitable for the elderly and children. It can be listed as one of the foods of the empire in the future."
Lou Cheng's bang shook off everyone on top of him, and he quickly fished out a large piece of leg meat from the pot. He didn't care about the taste, just picked up a piece and started eating it, biting it with a crisp sound. "Then when you have time, talk to Miss Yuqing about expanding the business of the boarding house."
There is nothing lacking in 5143 stars, but the most abundant are flying winged insects, which are inexhaustible.
He put the meat in his mouth and chewed it twice. "I didn't expect these worms to taste so good. They're a little bit better than tofu. Delicious, really delicious." He took out a leg and chewed it fiercely. "I'm going to eat them for every meal from now on."
That ferocious look didn't seem like he was eating, but rather like he was devouring the flesh and sucking the blood of his enemy.
But it's almost there now.
The others watched the two of them eat and swallowed their saliva.
"Can you really eat it?"
"Boss, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me in advance."
"Stop dithering, come on, I'm not trying to brag, but after this taste, it'll be hard for you to eat anything you want."
Lou Cheng ignored them and chewed rapidly, wishing he could swallow the entire winged insect shell. After finishing one leg, he immediately reached into the pot to get the second one. Ning Hanzhu looked at him wolfing down his food and smirked, "Eat slowly, no one's competing with you for it."
Lou Cheng thought to himself, you don’t understand.
Being with these guys, it all depends on hand speed.
The boys Lou Cheng brought were all old enough to eat. Seeing their boss eating without even looking up, the boy who had dared to suppress Lou Cheng just now smacked his lips and said, "Why don't we try it too? If there's any problem, the worst that can happen is that we'll just lie down with the boss."
He tasted it second, and specially picked out a piece of meat the size of his fist. He took a deep breath and took a big bite. "Ahem, it's spicy, but wow, it tastes amazing."
When the others heard this, they didn't hesitate any longer and quickly reached out to grab the meat to eat. Then they stared with wide eyes and nodded vigorously.
Oh my god, this was definitely the best thing they had ever eaten.
Ning Hanzhu only picked out meat to eat. She consumed a lot and needed to replenish protein in time. When she was half full, there were already more than a dozen people gathered around the big pot. At first glance, it seemed that they were all people brought by Lou Cheng, and they all looked very young.
In contrast, it tastes amazing too.
There was a pot full of insect meat, and they grabbed it with both hands and started to eat it. Their eating habits were almost the same as Lou Cheng's.
What kind of people lead the soldiers is true.
"I'll go, but you should leave some for me."
“It’s delicious.”
"Boss, you've already eaten a lot."
Ning Hanzhu's favorite thing is that other people like the food he cooks. Seeing their mouths all red, some people can't stand spicy food and they cry and have snot while eating. In short, the meal is very lively.
Those who had been watching for a long time were eager to try when they saw Lou Cheng and his group eating with their mouths full of oil.
"Can you really eat it?"
"How about we try it too?"
"I don't want to eat it. If you want to eat it, go by yourself."
By the time some people finally overcame their psychological barriers and squeezed to the side of the pot, the entire pot of insect meat had been divided up, with only a few ingredients left at the bottom of the pot. The person was horrified and said, "Eat it! It's all eaten!"
Lou Cheng ate half his fill and licked his lips with a satisfied look on his face. "How about you make another pot? With so many people eating, it won't even be enough for me."
Ning Hanzhu was really impressed by these old guys. A flying winged insect weighed at least a hundred kilograms. Although it was not covered with meat like a pig, on average, the people present also got several kilograms of meat. Lou Cheng, for example, must have eaten more than twenty kilograms.
Lou Cheng's stomach is simply a black hole.
Ning Hanzhu held out his torn hand and asked, "How dare you?"
She couldn't even lift the pot just now. There is a little difference between frying with the left hand and the right hand.
Lou Cheng opened his mouth and said, "Then go lie down in the treatment cabin and you'll get better soon."
Ning Hanzhu, "..."
She ignored him and found a place to rest. Those who had eaten the flying wing insect meat were smacking their lips and savoring it. Those who hadn't tasted it were both regretful and secretly observing them, fearing that eating the insect meat would cause any side effects.
But the fragrance still wafts everywhere.
The news that the winged insect corpses were edible spread across the battlefield just like the fragrance.
"What? This thing can be eaten? Don't tell me it's poisonous."
"Are they starving?"
…
Similar words were heard in different places.
Ning Hanzhu no longer cared about others. She calmed down and wanted to rest, but she couldn't help but turn on the light computer and open the chat interface between the two. The text message was still on her reply that day, and she never received a response from Xu Yuqing after that.
"It's over. I'm really angry."
Ning Hanzhu scratched her hair in annoyance, wishing she could run back to explain to Xu Yuqing immediately, but she really couldn't leave at the moment. She was so uneasy that she didn't even know how to bring up Xu Yanan's matter with Xu Yuqing.
If I bring it up, will it make Xu Yuqing even more angry?
Given the awkward relationship between the two sisters, she really didn't dare to gamble, but Xu Yanan's condition was quite serious. She might be just one straw away from losing her mind and becoming like Lou Cheng.
Thinking of Lou Cheng, Ning Hanzhu suddenly realized that even someone as crazy as Lou Cheng was still alive and kicking. It made no sense that Xu Yanan couldn't recover. She carefully recalled Lou Cheng's treatment plan, and a plan immediately came to her mind.
Ning Hanzhu found Lou Cheng again. He was leading his men to collect the bodies of the flying winged insects. They were in high spirits, and one guy was even worried, "Boss, take all these bodies back. We won't have enough to eat for a month."
Ning Hanzhu, "..."
It's quite far-reaching.
She followed Lou Cheng to the side alone.
"How do you feel after eating the flying worm meat?"
"I can eat three more."
Ning Hanzhu's fists felt itchy. "You know what I'm asking."
Lou Cheng looked up at her and said, "You feel refreshed after eating, don't you think?"
Ning Hanzhu's biggest feeling was that her fatigue was relieved. Mentally, perhaps it was because she cooked a meal, at least all the violent and complicated thoughts in her mind disappeared.
But she thought it was because she was full. People's mood will definitely improve after a full meal, but she didn't feel much after eating the flying wing insect meat.
"Looks like I need to eat a few more meals of flying winged insect meat."
Lou Cheng agreed, but with Ning Hanzhu being the only chef at 5143 Stars, that was quite formidable. Eating food depended entirely on hand speed. He quickly thought of the reason Ning Hanzhu had returned. "You want Xu Yanan to eat this? She might think you're trying to poison her, but you never know. You could try killing the king bug and feeding it to her."
That's a really good idea.
But Ning Hanzhu suspected that Lou Cheng was just greedy. "The King Bug must be killed. Let her try the flying wing bug first."
After saying that, Ning Hanzhu went to set up the pot.
Lou Cheng hurriedly called out behind her, "If you still want to try the flying wing insects, follow Ning Hanzhu and help. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you'll be able to eat such delicious flying wing insects again."
Ning Hanzhu staggered and almost fell.
Lou Cheng, this shameless guy, almost engraved the slogan "eat one less meal" into his slogan.
This time, Ning Hanzhu was very cunning and placed the pot at the entrance of Xu Yanan's rest camp. As soon as she appeared, there was an immediate commotion. Everyone, whether they were resting or not, gathered around to watch her "dismember" the flying wing insect.
It was like a ritual, and they suddenly felt that the Zerg, which were once so difficult to deal with, were just like that.
A short girl, who looked about seventeen or eighteen, whispered to Ning Hanzhu, "Are you going to stir-fry the flying wing insects?"
Ning Hanzhu also whispered back, "Yes, do you want to try it later?"
The girl nodded and said, "Can you make more? The flying insects ate my parents, and I want to eat them too."
Ning Hanzhu paused as he dismembered the flying winged insect, "Okay."
…
Fang Qin's mouth twitched. "Lieutenant General, please take care of her. She is provoking you."
The place where Xu Yanan had just been hit still hurt a little. The corner of her mouth twitched, "If she's provoking me, then provoke her. Why don't you go and beat her up?"
Fang Qin was speechless. She had never fought against an overlord alone before.
Ning Hanzhu even greeted them, "Lieutenant General, come and try my cooking."
Xu Yanan put her hands in her pockets. Through the smoke, she could see the provocative smile on Ning Hanzhu's face. She could fight and cook. She couldn't help licking her back teeth. "I think that's how Qingqing was deceived by her. This guy is so insidious."
Fang Qin didn't think Ning Hanzhu was sinister, but rather that she was a troublemaker, the same as Lou Cheng, and he couldn't control her at all.
"Just a piece of flying winged insect meat."
"Lieutenant General, think twice."
Xu Yanan strode over. Ning Hanzhu had already reserved the most tender leg meat for her. "Try it."
The leg meat of the flying winged insect is smaller than the meat of other beasts. She took a bite with an expressionless face. The shell was fresh, fragrant and crispy, without any other disgusting taste.
"Um?"
"How does it taste?"
Xu Yanan couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
Ning Hanzhu picked out two large pieces, and then asked others to divide the flying wing insect meat in the pot. After all, the injured needed to eat more to replenish their energy. If the effect was good, this delicious stir-fried insect meat could be promoted in the camp.
Use local ingredients and eat whatever you want.
After Xu Yanan finished eating, she met Ning Hanzhu's expectant eyes and couldn't find any fault for a moment. She said stiffly, "I asked you to report to the First Army before, why didn't you come?"
That was so long ago.
Ning Hanzhu said, "Because I promised Qingqing that I would go to military school, and I can't go back on my word."
Besides, she didn't agree to this matter, so it doesn't count as breaking the appointment.
Xu Yanan suddenly felt that this guy deserved a beating. She rubbed her thatched hair in annoyance, thinking that Ning Hanzhu and she were probably incompatible. Not only was this guy powerful, but he was also very irritating. "Come report to me tomorrow."
Ning Hanzhu hesitated for three seconds, "Take over your position and command?"
She's afraid she can't do this job, the best she can do is command herself.
Xu Yanan almost raised his fist and said, "That's a good idea. Once you drive away the Zerg completely, I'll give you my position."
Ning Hanzhu, "Forget it then."
Xu Yanan endured it again and again, and finally left angrily.
Ning Hanzhu couldn't understand why she was always angry, but later he thought it must be because of the interference of the king insect toxin, so the matter of stir-frying the king insects had to be put on the agenda.
"Kill the Overlord?"
"Okay, I'll eat it today."
Ning Hanzhu and Lou Cheng hit it off immediately. She always felt it was unsafe to keep a bug that could send signals at any time. "It's been a long time since we last rested. Let's be on guard."
Lou Cheng had already made the arrangements.
"By the way, your brother Lu said he'd go back first, and when the next batch of supplies arrives, he'll stay and fight the bugs with us."
"Okay."
Ning Hanzhu suddenly imitated the sound the Overlord had made earlier. Lou Cheng instinctively wanted to attack her, but luckily he stopped when he saw that face. He looked alert, "What were you doing just now?"
"You've had many opportunities to interact with Overlords. Can you understand the frequency signals they emit?"
"Were you simulating the Zerg?"
"Well, the Overlord has sent out two different frequencies before, and this is one of them. I thought if we could decipher this signal, we might know how to respond."
The problem is the language barrier.
Lou Cheng had tried this method before, but the frequency of the King Bug's beeps was different each time, and there was no reference specimen. "I think the shorter the beeps, the more likely they are an attack message. The longer the beeps, the more likely they are reporting back to us."
He had been attacked by three queen insects before. Their screams were very short, and Lou Cheng could even feel their emotions at the time - excitement.
Ning Hanzhu tilted his head. "Can you still simulate the frequency they transmitted at that time?"
Lou Cheng, “…”
Ning Hanzhu seemed oblivious to the embarrassment on his face. "Simulate it as soon as possible. Maybe we can catch a couple of king worms, which will make it easier for me to cook other dishes."
When Lou Cheng heard there was food, he became excited and said, "I'll try my best."
Ning Hanzhu praised encouragingly, "Senior, I believe in your brain."
Alpha's five senses are truly remarkable, not to mention that Lou Cheng is at level 3S. Whether it's memory or other aspects, he should be at the top level. It's just a matter of frequency, and there just happens to be a ready-made insect for experimentation.
Both of them are very efficient.
Ning Hanzhu asked someone to lock the tied-up Chong in a not very secure secret room. The secret room was equipped with surveillance cameras, and outside, Lou Cheng was repeatedly repeating the frequency that he thought was good news.
"Can just one frequency be useful?"
"Let's try it first. Anyway, we can see how this king insect reacts."
Ning Hanzhu counted to three, two, one, and Lou Cheng took a deep breath. He made a sharp scream, which should be simulating the frequency of the previous king insect. The king insect in the surveillance camera reacted particularly strongly, rolling off the table and struggling to move, but unfortunately, its wings were torn off and its legs were all cut off. It was impossible to move, but it suddenly made a call that was neither long nor short.
He seems quite happy.
“There is a reaction.”
“The reaction was particularly huge.”
Ning Hanzhu suspected that the frequency Lou Cheng was emitting was a sign of victory, otherwise the Overlord wouldn't have reacted so strongly. However, it could also have another meaning, and it was hard to tell. "Unfortunately, we have too few frequency templates. If someone could figure out the general meaning of the frequencies they emit, it would make it much easier to defeat the Zerg in the future."
Lou Cheng was thinking about something.
Ning Hanzhu took the king insect and experimented with it several times. In the end, the king insect may have realized that it had been fooled, or its mind was confused by the various cross-frequencies, and its reaction became extremely slow and stupid.
"Since it's already stupid, let it play its last remaining heat."
"We're making spicy king bug hotpot tonight."
Lou Cheng's wandering thoughts were immediately pulled back by her.
Someone in the camp soon spread the news that the king insect would be "executed" that night. The crowd was in an uproar. No matter what people were doing, they paused when they heard the news, then put down what they were doing and rushed to the camp where Xu Yanan was stationed.
The open space is almost full.
“Why are there so many people?”
"They all came to see the execution of the Overlord."
Seeing the crowd getting increasingly agitated, Lou Cheng, who had been squatting on the front lines, had to step forward to maintain order. "Everyone, listen up! The vanguard team is in one row, the initiative team is in another, and the logistics team is in another. Don't push. Anyone who dares to disrupt the order, get out of here immediately."
As soon as he shouted, the noisy scene immediately quieted down, and everyone stood in their respective teams in an orderly manner.
Lou Cheng saw several familiar faces and his eyelids twitched. "Also, everyone on guard today, get back to your posts. Go back now and I'll pretend I didn't see you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Several people left the team reluctantly.
Lou Cheng continued, "This is just the first Overlord. If we can catch one, we can catch the second and third. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but everyone must not forget their responsibilities..."
Ning Hanzhu glanced at him in her spare time.
The senior is worthy of being a senior.
Seeing that the pot was almost heated, Ning Hanzhu took out her kitchen knife, which she had sharpened. "Everyone, the next scene is likely to be quite bloody, but you'd better get used to it. I'm starting..."
