In the normal world outside, Bai Yi could not see ghosts. Bai Yi stretched out his hand and closed his eyes at the same time, maximizing all his senses. Bai Yi's right hand passed through the ghost that Momo mentioned, but he didn't feel anything. Everyone looked at Bai Yi, wondering what Bai Yi was trying.
"No feeling, just like usual. Even though Momo said there was a soul there, she didn't notice anything at all." Bai Yi shook his head.
"Ah, it's getting lighter!" Momo said in surprise. As Bai Yi's right hand passed through the unknown soul, in Momo's eyes, it was as if a bubble had been popped and turned into a bubble. Although after Bai Yi's hand left, the spirit's body returned to normal, but it became more transparent and seemed to disappear soon.
As a result, not long after Momo finished speaking, the soul completely disappeared into the space, as if evaporating.
"Disappeared!" Momo said softly.
Bai Yi didn't say anything. Although Momo was just over five years old now, she was completely different from ordinary children. Sure enough, Momo's expression was very calm, and she did not feel any sadness or pity for this strange soul. In New Zealand now, that kind of emotion is completely luxurious.
Bai Yi and others reorganized the things. Although they were not very important things, it would still be very troublesome if they were to be prepared all over again. While sorting these things, Shapi followed the smell and found a large pit that had just been buried. Inside, was a body that had not been buried for long. This corpse was about three meters tall. Its appearance could not be clearly seen because it was slightly decomposed. Anyway, it was a monster and there was nothing to describe it.
Looking at the body that had obviously been dead for a few days, and thinking of the soul that disappeared in the room, Bai Yi and the others finally understood what Johnny said.
The aura in the underworld is different from the outside world. Ghosts can survive in the underworld, but the normal world in the eyes of humans outside will gradually dissipate. In this way, Mavis's death in Wellington was indeed better than Martin's... As soon as Bai Yi thought of this, he couldn't help but want to slap himself on the head. What does it mean to die with good luck? This is really strange.
"Wulf, you and Pupu go to catch some prey and come back. I'll make a delicious meal."
Bai Yi saw that the packet of 'seasoning' he had made was still there, and couldn't help but said to Woolf. These packets of seasonings are all prepared by Bai Yi himself. Maybe Bai Yi is not good at plant medicinal properties, but in terms of natural seasonings, he is still better than most people. But looking at this bag of natural seasonings being casually discarded and scattered on the ground, you can tell that the person who came here didn't know what he was selling. Of course, if these condiments are not handled properly, they are indeed unpalatable and may even poison people.
This is New Zealand now. More than 50% of the animals and plants have their own dangers.
For more than half a month, although Bai Yi and the others could still find food in Wellington, it was not very tasty. I always feel that the creatures living in Wellington seem to have some ghostly aura.
After hearing what Bai Yi said, Woolf raised his hand to show that he understood. Although New Zealand is now very dangerous for most humans, some of the best can still live there, and Bai Yi and his group are one of these best. Of course, even Bai Yi and the others did not dare to be too careless, because once they were too careless, any danger would also lead to death.
Although Woolf was a little careless, he was actually rough and tumble. He had been following Bai Yi since the beginning of New Zealand's transformation. It had been such a long time before he was killed by Bai Yi's unlucky trouble-making physique. In addition, although Pupu is a pet pig, he is indeed smarter.
After the two of them went out, Bai Yi and Helois tidied up the place and prepared the food.
"So clear!" Heloise said as he looked at the water in the river. "
"Well, it's indeed very clear." Bai Yi nodded. New Zealand was originally sparsely populated, and more than nine months have passed since the extinction of human industry. Now New Zealand is completely primitive. There is almost no trace of man-made traces in this river. It is purely natural. Moreover, living cells are not contaminated by viruses or toxins. Basically, these water sources are edible.
When Bai Yi and Helois came back, they found that Shapi had also come back from another place, all wet.
"Sharpei?"
"Wow." Shapi called to Bai Yi, shook his body desperately to shake off the water on his body, and then walked towards Momo.
"Have you ever felt that Sharpei hasn't been feeling right lately?" Heloise asked.
"Have it?"
"Maybe it's my imagination." Helois couldn't help but shook his head when he saw Bai Yi's seemingly unaware look.
Bai Yi really didn't notice anything unusual about Shapi during this period of time. In fact, Shapi just went to eat the corpse that was found not long ago. Because the slightly rotting corpse had a strong smell, Shapi went to wash himself downstream for a long time. After Shapi came to Momo's side, he lay down quietly and closed his eyes to rest. Momo knew what Shapi had done, but Momo still didn't want to tell her father.
Shapi cannibalizes people, even dad would probably be very scrupulous about it.
Momo's innocent heart seemed to be able to guess Bai Yi's reaction after knowing everything, so she hid the matter. But if Shapi is still like this, there will be some trouble. It's not like Wellington outside. Bodies can be found everywhere. Shapi was lying on the ground, seemingly sleeping uncomfortably. His head moved, and the exoskeleton growing out of his left shoulder blade showed some minor cracks near his neck.
…
"Wulf, what on earth did you catch?" Heloise couldn't help but be extremely surprised when he saw the prey dragged by Woolf.
Is this thing... a caterpillar
The prey that Woolf and Pupu dragged was more than a meter long, thick as a bucket, plump, with small green tentacles and spots all over its body, and it was constantly struggling and squirming. This thing is clearly an enlarged version of a caterpillar, okay? Woolf and Pupu tied them up one by one with tree vines and brought back more than ten. Now these more than ten caterpillars are still twisting and crawling, and their tentacles and short thin legs are crawling. No matter how you look at them, you feel goosebumps.
"I don't know what this thing is. I have no choice. I was looking for some prey and found a group of flying evolved creatures. But I couldn't catch up. I found that the birds were using this kind of caterpillar as their prey. Food, it’s probably not poisonous,” Woolf said helplessly. Although there are indeed many monsters in New Zealand now, it doesn't mean that you can find them if you want to, or catch them if you want.
"Haha, Bai Yi will handle it anyway, let's see what his expression is."
What expression? When Bai Yi saw these dozen plump caterpillars, he was indeed dumbfounded for a while. Let me go, Woolf, can you be more curious? But Bai Yi also knows that sometimes it's like this. If you can't find food, you can't find it. If you can't find food, it's good.
"Drag it to the river." Bai Yi said to Woolf.
"Understood!" When Wolf saw Bai Yi didn't say anything, he knew that 80% of today's food would be these caterpillars.
Bai Yi came to the river and took out the kitchen knife. After thinking about it, he took out the willow leaf knife. Bai Yi didn't know how to deal with this new ingredient, so he could only explore it from the beginning. Using a caterpillar as a test object, Bai Yi began to carefully dissect it.
Slow and detailed processing, testing for poison is the most important. Whether it tastes bad or not is secondary. If it is poisonous, it will be troublesome. Although Woolf said that flying birds feed on this caterpillar, Bai Yi still dare not be careless. In the end, Bai Yi judged that the slight poison could be tolerated by evolved human body. Of course, today's evolved humans in New Zealand, and ordinary humans outside, will definitely not be lucky enough to enjoy this kind of food.
The first time he handled this kind of caterpillar, Bai Yi threw away all the hard-to-handle internal organs, leaving only the fat outer skin. The processed caterpillar completely changed its appearance, becoming tender and smooth, as if it had a fat belly. Combined with the seasoning prepared by Bai Yi himself, it is surprisingly delicious. Bai Yi tried several cooking methods and found that blanching was the most suitable for this kind of caterpillar. In the end, he just made a hot pot.
"It's delicious. I really didn't expect that this kind of caterpillar is so delicious." Woolf's mouth was full of oil after eating.
"That's because Bai Yi is good at cooking." Heloise teased.
Bai Yi smiled. Is his cooking skills good? In fact, his cooking skills are only average, but he is indeed much better than most people and is good at handling ingredients. However, these dozen caterpillars took Bai Yi half a day's effort. The ingredients he encountered for the first time were indeed very troublesome.
"Won't Shapi eat?" Bai Yi couldn't help but asked when he saw that Shapi was a little lazy. At this time, Bai Yi remembered what Helois had reminded him before, that Sharpei had been a little unusual recently.
"Hey, I guess, Shapi is probably a little anorexic and will be fine soon." Momo said nervously immediately.
It's so tender, Momo. Bai Yi was obviously asking Shapi, why are you so nervous? Bai Yi immediately looked at Momo and Shapi, wondering what they were up to. Seeing her father's questioning look, Momo's body immediately tensed up, blocking Shapi's way. Shapi, on the other hand, stood up slowly, as if he wanted to face Bai Yi directly.
Um
But at this time, Bai Yi looked to the side and behind, and there was a slight movement in that direction, which was extremely light. If it weren't for the incongruous moment of landing, Bai Yi and the others probably wouldn't have been able to hear the sound.
