() "But you did a good job this time. Although it was a mistake, you were lucky enough to catch this guy. Otherwise, it would be really dangerous for this guy to be lurking nearby like this." Bai Yi said.
"Bai Yi, do you want to keep this guy as food?" Woolf asked.
Bai Yi took a closer look at the muscles of the poisonous spiny lizard, which were bright red, but Bai Yi adjusted the angle and faced the sun, and immediately saw the juice glowing with a lavender light. Of course the meat can be eaten, and its nutritional value is probably very high, but it is obvious that ordinary processing methods are not enough if you don't want to be poisoned.
"No, this thing is poisonous. If it were normal, maybe I would be interested in trying how to deal with it to neutralize these toxins, but I don't have time now." Bai Yi said, using his sword to turn the poisonous spiny lizard around He came over and dissected it from the abdomen, and finally selected several internal organs and a section of meat about one meter long and cut it out.
"Didn't you say you can't eat it?"
"Of course this thing cannot be eaten. I want to try to study how to deal with it and neutralize the toxins in it. No one knows what we will encounter in the future. Maybe when there is no food, we will have to use these things to satisfy our hunger. You guys Remember, don't take the wrong ingredients when you get the ingredients in the future." Bai Yi said to everyone.
"Yes." Everyone nodded, and then watched Bai Yi put the piece of poisonous spiny lizard meat into an iron bucket.
Bai Yi returned to Momo and found that Momo's body was still trembling, but he pulled out his short knife and held it tightly in his hand. Momo's little hands turned pale due to excessive exertion. Seeing Bai Yi coming over, Momo immediately raised her head and looked at Bai Yi, fear and grievance flashing in her eyes.
Bai Yi knelt down, gently stroked Momo's tight little face, and smiled.
Under Bai Yi's comfort, Momo's tense body gradually relaxed, and her seemingly blind pupils finally slowly regained focus. Then he suddenly threw himself into Bai Yi's arms and cried loudly. Bai Yi was almost stabbed directly by Momo's knife without distinguishing between friend and foe. After carefully grabbing Momo's knife, Bai Yi patted Momo's back.
"Be good, cry as much as you want."
Bai Yi has been emphasizing during this period that New Zealand has become very dangerous now, and everyone must be prepared to face danger at any time. You must know that in the face of danger, the only one who can protect yourself at the last moment is yourself. This was the first time that Momo faced a ferocious monster head-on. If Momo could remember Bai Yi's words, she would have done a good job by pulling out the short knife. You know, Momo is only four years old now.
"Bai Yi...!" Woolf and Martin wanted to explain something. But Bai Yi shook his head at them.
Bai Yi was not angry. Rather, he was a little happy. After all, Momo was going to take this step at any time. Although it was a bit thrilling this time, nothing really happened. After Momo regained her composure, Bai Yi took Momo to Shapi's side. Shapi now stands a full meter tall and looks very ferocious.
Bai Yi saw some blood stains on Shapi's right paw. It was not Shapi's own, but the claw he had just picked out on the nose of the poisonous spiny lizard when it just emerged from the water.
Currently, the genes Sharpei has fused are 1. slug, 2. ant, and 3. hummingbird. This is the gene that Bai Yi decided to fuse with Sharpei. It is estimated that Sharpei will fuse the genes of the fourth creature now. I just don’t know what the original genes of this monster are, so I hope it’s not too bad.
Bai Yi patted Shapi's head. The muscles squeezed through the skin and cracked out. It felt rough but had a tough feeling.
A group of people walked back towards the camp. Shapi walked behind Bai Yi, his huge body carrying terrifying pressure.
A small accident happened, but in a blink of an eye everyone put it aside. It was just a monster, it was no big deal. Soon, the whole beef hot pot that Woolf was looking forward to was cooked, and everyone sat together to enjoy the meal. In this day and age, nothing is more important than filling your stomach.
…
Soon, Bai Yi and the others ate and then drove away from here. More than two hours later, two more cars came here and stopped.
"Captain, there is a small farm here. It's getting dark. Do we want to rest here?" A voice came from above the car.
"It's right here, remember to be careful." Another voice came out, and then six people got out of the car. Of course, these six people are just like 'human beings'. It is estimated that only a few people in New Zealand still retain their complete human form. Not to mention the dead, it is estimated that 90% of the living people have integrated genes from other organisms.
"Captain, it seems someone has stopped here... Captain, captain, there is a monster here, a lot of meat!" Suddenly, the guy who was sent out to investigate the situation shouted in surprise, and directed towards the stinger The lizard's body ran over.
"Wait!" The man called the captain immediately stopped the guy nervously.
"What's wrong, captain!" Fortunately, the captain's prestige is still good, and the originally excited team member stopped immediately after hearing his words.
"Be careful. Aren't you surprised that there is still monster meat left when you are hungry like this?" the captain said, slowly walking towards the poisonous spiny lizard.
A group of people came here, and then the captain carefully inspected the surrounding traces, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
"Master, also, this meat is probably not edible."
"Looking at these marks, it's obvious that someone suddenly encountered this monster by the river, but they didn't panic much. And here, look at the marks of these spikes, a small area splashed around, but only in the middle There was not a single one, and there were no other traces of blood around. Obviously these spikes were all blocked. There were no other traces of battle around. The monster should have been killed directly in the next moment. Such a smooth cut, I'm afraid that person has a very sharp chopping knife in his hand." The captain gradually began to analyze from some small marks.
"This monster is probably poisonous..." As he said that, the captain looked at the huge gap cut by Bai Yi on the chest and abdomen.
"Morrie, bring a knife and let's cut a piece of meat." The captain said to the most out-of-the-box young man.
"But Captain, didn't you just say it was poisonous?"
"It's poisonous, but it's not meant for you to eat. It occasionally plays other roles, so be prepared." The captain explained. After cutting off a huge piece of meat, the captain had someone dig a hole and bury the poisonous spiny lizard. If this thing is pushed into the river, it will probably poison a large area.
"I'm also sure that the team in front must have a great chef. I don't know how long they have been walking, but the smell of food still lingers in the open space here..." The guy said, swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Then I found the remains of the hot pot dumped in the corner.
"You guys, you mean that my cooking skills are not good and the food I cook is not delicious." A fat pig man came out and said angrily.
“It’s not delicious to begin with….”
"Then you do it. I just don't want to do this job..." The pig man immediately gave up.
"Hey, how could you do this? The stuff you made here is barely enough for us to eat, bastard, don't be so stupid..." The team was suddenly in chaos.
The captain couldn't help but cover his head. This group of idiots seemed to be really looking for a chef, a real chef. The so-called real chef is one who can make delicious food from those strange ingredients. Like them, in fact, the general oil and salt are definitely not wrong, but now New Zealand does not have normal ingredients and cannot process them. The taste is simply forgettable. After eating food made by an old pig for several days, my tongue is almost moldy.
No, it should be said that their vitality is strong even if they are not poisoned!
…
Bai Yi didn't know that the hotpot residue they dumped carelessly in the corner almost triggered an internal fight within the team. If he knew, he would definitely laugh.
Now Bai Yi and the others have arrived in Taumarunui.
Taumarunui is located at the confluence of the Wanganui River and the Ogarui River. The scenery is very beautiful. When Bai Yi was on vacation at the University of Waikato last year, he took Momo on a skiing vacation. But now, there is no life in the city in the evening, and what is revealed in the remaining snow is only coldness and deathly silence.
"Let's go, find a place to rest in the city while it's still dark." Bai Yi said.
The current city is no longer as chaotic as New Zealand's initial changes, and Bai Yi and the others are no longer as confused and helpless as they were originally.
Bai Yi drove the car to the edge of the city and stopped at a coffee shop called theflaxcafe. The last time Bai Yi came here, he stopped at this coffee shop. The coffee here was very good. Moreover, this coffee shop is neither big nor small, just enough for a few of them to rest. Not far away, there was a gas station. Although it had been destroyed, Bai Yi still hoped to find some gasoline, otherwise their car would not be able to drive.
"Bai Yi, what are you looking for?" Sarah couldn't help but ask when she saw Bai Yi rummaging around in the coffee shop.
"Last time I came to this cafe, I had a good chat with Yoshimoto. He told me that he had some precious civet coffee that he couldn't bear to drink. Ah, I found it...!" Bai Yi said, his tone suddenly sounded low. The last time I drank coffee here, the surroundings were still so warm and peaceful, but when I came here again, everything seemed different. Yoshimoto didn't even take away his treasured coffee, so it's easy to imagine that something unexpected had happened to him.
