It is too difficult (v1c12)
Ye Sheng felt a surge of confusion when she heard the prompt from the detector.
What a joy that comes from heaven!
The loud and festive song 'Good Luck Comes' automatically played in her mind, making her smile brightly with joy. Her eyes curled up in delight.
She was already cute, but now she looked even sweeter.
Like a piece of sweet toffee.
But Ye Sheng didn't pay attention to her own appearance. All her focus was on the porcupine rat in front of her...with its head smashed flat.
It was the size of an adult golden retriever!
'Hehehe, although it was a big rat, it was all meat!'
٩(๑>◡<๑)۶
Ye Sheng, who had traveled to the wasteland world, didn't dislike rat meat at all. Her small body needed to eat meat to get nutrients, so that she could grow taller.
She didn't want to be a 1.5 meter kid!
Today, she could have barbecue in addition to spinach soup.
As for how many viruses there were in mice?
Please!
This was a doomsday wasteland world, and all living things had been contaminated by poisonous fog radiation. The viruses that humans feared had long been killed by the radiation.
Even if it was a bat, as long as the testing machine said it was edible, it was fine to eat it!
Ye Sheng felt happy. The porcupine rat looked more and more pleasing to her eye.
After her excitement subsided a bit, Ye Sheng realized that she couldn't take the porcupine rat home directly, as she might be robbed on the way.
She didn't want to settle for just a few pieces of meat!
This rat was quite fat and had a lot of meat. Wasting the food that could be eaten was a luxury that the wastelanders would scorn.
After thinking about it, Ye Sheng made a decision!
All the meat belonged to her, and if anyone tried to take it, she would fight to the death!
Who was she afraid of!
Feeling brave, Ye Sheng dragged the porcupine rat by its hind legs and walked toward the nearest river, intending to clean up the porcupine rat and cut it on the spot!
Logically speaking, one should stay away from water sources in the wilderness.
Because polluted organisms would go to the river to drink water.
But this place was close to the mitigation zone, and on the days when they were regularly cleaned up, the members of the mercenary group liked to stroll along the riverside, catching everyone at once.
Over time, the polluted organisms had become smart and learned to store water.
They didn't come to the river easily.
Of course, this was only true for the wilderness near the mitigation zone. The wilderness farther away was not peaceful.
The dangers in the wilderness were not only in the grass and forests, but also in the water.
Although the water source was not contaminated by poisonous fog radiation, the aquatic organisms and plants were not spared from the disaster. They were no different from the polluted organisms on land, and even more dangerous.
If one was dragged down by the polluted creatures in the water, one's life would surely end.
Not to mention anything else, just the large group of piranhas was terrifying.
Not to mention that the vast sea had become a forbidden area. Who knew how many terrifying creatures were hidden in the deep sea!
Therefore, no matter how small the river in front of her was, Ye Sheng didn't let her guard down and didn't dare to get too close. She could only stop at a safe distance.
Then, Ye Sheng tried to pluck out the tough rat hairs, but they were so stubborn that she couldn't pluck out a single one even after a long time.
This forced Ye Sheng to lift up the small all-purpose hoe, cut open the skin, and peel off the fur-covered rat hide with clumsy steps. From time to time, she used the hoe to cut off the adhesion between the muscles and the skin, making it easier to peel off the hide.
She was extremely careful during this period, even taking off her old patched cloak and putting it aside, for fear of getting stained with blood and dirt.
After peeling off the skin and cutting off the two front paws, Ye Sheng frowned when she looked at the bloody porcupine rat.
Disgusting.
Before she was hit by a car, she had been a diligent high school student. She rarely cooked with her own hands, let alone skinned animals. The meat she bought in supermarkets or markets was all ready-made.
She had never seen her hands covered in blood like they were now.
But she was brave and strong and could endure any hardships just to eat meat!
Ye Sheng felt proud of herself.
However, after disemboweling the porcupine rat with a hoe, she turned around and vomited.
But because she had only drunk nutrient solution, she couldn't vomit anything and could only retch.
The violent reaction of vomiting made Ye Sheng cry involuntarily. Her hands were too dirty and she couldn't even wipe her tears. She could only raise her head in pain and wait for them to dry naturally.
She had it so hard!
After squatting on the spot to relax for a while, Ye Sheng pursed her lips tightly, picked up a sturdy branch, endured the nausea, picked up the pile of mouse offal that needed to be censored, and threw it aside.
After throwing everything away, she went to the river to wash the hoe quickly, and then went back to cut the rat meat.
Rat head was disgusting, and even if there was edible meat, Ye Sheng didn't want to eat it.
So, the 'picky' Ye Sheng cut off the rat's head and threw it near the pile of offal. Then she divided the rat meat into pieces with bones and meat, and then put them into the bottom layer of the backpack.
Although the porcupine rat was not small, after peeling off the fur and cleaning the internal organs, the meat she cut off was not as much as she expected. Ye Sheng weighed the weight of the backpack and thought it was only about 40 kilograms.
But when cutting the rat meat, Ye Sheng noticed that the bones of this rat were very large and heavy...
So, out of the fifty kilograms of weight, at least ten kilograms of bones had to be removed.
But even fourty kilograms of meat could last her for a long time!
The corners of Ye Sheng's lips never dropped. Humming a tuneless tune, she put the spinach leaves back into the basket, covering the pieces of meat below.
Wait, there were rat skin and rat claws too!
Ye Sheng had heard Zhou Lin say that the fur and claws of some polluted creatures also had value.
She could take them to the swap shop to exchange for credit points.
But the basket was almost full. Ye Sheng thought for a while, took out a nylon bag from her satchel, rolled the paws with the rat skin, and stuffed them all into the bag.
Ye Sheng had originally planned to use spinach leaves to get by, but now that she had spinach and meat, it obviously wouldn't work.
Anyone who looked through the basket would find them!
Fortunately, this place was not far from the mitigation zone. As long as Ye Sheng returned early, she could avoid the possibility of being discovered with a high probability... People in the mitigation zone went to the wilderness to scavenge. They couldn't find food so easily, so they usually came back before dark.
After all, the time spent going back and forth was not short.
They had to find more to make it worth their while.
As for those who came out of the safe zone, they were well-equipped and could fight any lone polluted creature. How could they come back so early?
Speaking of which, Ye Sheng was surprised when she heard that the residents of the safe zone were also going to the wilderness to scavenge, and even made Zhou Lin laugh, saying that there were many people in the safe zone who lacked credit points.
They had only one house in safe zone other than they were same as mitigation zone.
But even so, the people in the mitigation zone were envious. At least they didn't have to face danger all the time.
Well!
Another day of wishing she had a house in the safe zone.
Ye Sheng sighed and was about to get up and go home with her trophies, but suddenly she saw a dark shadow moving not far away. It made Ye Sheng, who had just been ambushed by a porcupine rat in the grass, instantly nervous.
What was it this time?
