Chapter 1498: Hunting Hunger
But Mao Keyu said that he didn't agree to go back, in his words, if we went back to find that supply station, it would be another day of waste, and wouldn't it be even more impossible to find the secret test base within the planned time!
Among the remaining people, those strong and strong team members will naturally not raise any objections, those R&D personnel of IQ Online dare not raise objections, and the objections raised by the remaining three of us will not be accepted...... But I'm here to see how Mao Keyu solves everyone's food and clothing problem tonight?
I don't know if it was because the sun was sinking in the west and the temperature had dropped, or because the effect of the little pill had expired, but I gradually began to feel chills all over my body again. Lao Zhao saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he proposed to rest in place, and asked Mao Keyu to find a way to solve everyone's dinner problem.
Mao Keyu looked at the sky at this time, and knew that he couldn't go any further, so he let everyone rest in place, and then he took six or seven people to the mountains and forests to the north.
Just when we were all wondering what Mao Keyu and they were going to do, we heard Ah Ling, who stayed behind and was in charge of watching us, say with a smug face, "My master took them to hunt!"
When I heard this, I said with some disbelief, "Where are you going to hunt this winter!" Besides, I haven't even seen a squirrel all the way here, so what can your master catch?"
After hearing this, Ah Ling snorted lightly and said, "Anyway, if you can hit it, I promise that you won't starve and freeze!"
I watched Ah Ling's sexual oath, and I thought she was too confident in her master's ability? As a result, Mao Keyu and the others really brought back an unknown creature like a sheep......
Seeing that these people's experience of surviving in the wild is really not blown, a few of them not only hunted prey, but also found a dead tree from somewhere and dragged it back, and lit a bonfire for everyone to keep warm.
Fire can bring people a sense of primal security, especially in this icy atmosphere. In addition to heating, the meat can also be grilled...... Lao Zhao glanced at the unknown creature that was already dead, shook his head and said, "This is an adult male red deer, which is a national second-class protected animal in China." ”
I chuckled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect we to have the privilege of eating game today!"
At this time, one of Mao Keyu's subordinates quickly disemboweled the red deer with a dagger, and took out a pile of bloody internal organs and threw it aside...... When I saw this scene, I immediately remembered the team members who had been killed before, and my stomach immediately began to bubble with sour water, and I quickly ran to the side and retched.
When Lao Zhao saw it, he laughed at me and said, "Don't you often see corpses?
I retched for a long time and didn't throw up anything, after all, I really didn't have anything to eat in my stomach at this time...... Ding Yi handed me the kettle at this time and asked me to drink saliva to press, but as soon as I thought of the water and ice's pricked teeth, I waved my hand to him, and then turned to Lao Zhao and said, "Can that be the same?"
"What's the difference?" said Lao Zhao with a puzzled expression.
I saw that the venison would have to wait a while before it could be roasted, so I took Lao Zhao and the others back to the campfire and sat down and said, "Of course it's different, there are different types of fresh, fermented and air-dried." ”
Lao Zhao didn't know what he heard, but Ding Yi was a little disgusted when he heard it, and shook his head again and again and said to me, "Are you still eating venison for a while?"
I smiled evilly, "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together, and to share my current feelings with you, it can also alleviate the nausea in my heart a little, isn't it ......"
Lao Zhao saw that Ding Yi and I were playing dumb riddles, so he urged me to say, "Then you should quickly say what is fresh, what is fermented, and what is air-dried?"
When I heard this, I cleared my throat and said, "The corpses that have just died and have not yet appeared are naturally fresh, and those that have been dead for a few days and have begun to decay are of course fermented, and those that only have a pile of bones left are not air-dried." ”
After hearing this, Lao Zhao showed a disgusting expression and said, "Compared with fermented and air-dried, I can accept fresh ones better." ”
But I shook my head and said, "I'm the opposite, the last thing I can accept is freshness, because that state is the only time when they have recently been lived, and when their souls have not gone far." ”
While a few of us were discussing the different states of the corpses, the venison on Mao Keyu's side had already been placed on the fire and began to roast...... After a while, the aroma of barbecue came through.
When Lao Zhao saw this, he immediately said to me, "Stop! Let's change the topic from now on, don't affect my appetite for a while." ”
Venison is somewhere between beef and lamb, and although it is not very delicate, it has a special flavor, especially when we are all hungry......
This poor red deer was quickly eaten by us, and in the end, even some edible offal was roasted into jerky by Mao Keyu, and everyone was given a little, it seems that these are our reserve dry food for tomorrow.
Because we slaughtered a red deer here, Mao Keyu was worried that the bloody smell would attract nearby predators, so he had his men take turns to watch the night, while also making sure that the bonfire could not be extinguished.
Although Mao Keyu didn't let the three of us participate in the night watch, we still spontaneously left one person to keep vigil. However, considering my current physical condition, Ding Yi and Lao Zhao let me go to sleep first.
To be honest, I don't know if I'll be able to sleep around a campfire...... If you want to get closer to the bonfire and dry the tide clothes on your body, your face will be hot again, stay away from the bonfire, and the cold wind will blow cold and biting behind you.
But if you bake with your back to the fire, you're worried that you'll be caught up with the sparks, and you'll set your down jacket on fire. In short, this one after the other, one cold and one hot is really painful.
But maybe I was so tired that I sat by the fire and fell asleep! In the end, Ding was afraid that I would fall cold from such a sleep, so he asked me to take off the one-piece down jacket on my body first, and he helped me dry it, otherwise I was afraid that I would not be able to wear it tomorrow.
But it was too cold to get into the sleeping bag and sleep on the ground so directly, so Ding Yi spread his sleeping bag under me, and I barely felt so cold...... After a while, the man fell asleep again.
I had no dreams all night, and by the time I woke up from my sleeping bag again, it was already dawn, but the campfire in front of me was still burning......
