Chapter 194: Three Months of Calm (14)
The Night Star on the stage didn't want more people to notice Hanqi, so his gaze just paused for a moment and then left, starting her speech. 『』
"Hello everyone......" After the simple opening remarks, Night Sky Star immediately began to talk about what humans would eat in the future.
“…… I believe that by now everyone already knows the fact that mutant beasts are inedible, and many people end up exploding and dying after eating mutant beast meat. However, what I want to tell you today is that not all mutant beast meat cannot be eaten. ”
After Ye Tianxing said this, the huge auditorium was silent for a moment, and the needle drop could be heard, and everyone was waiting for her to continue.
"There are two types of mutant beasts, some of which are edible. One is the kind of mutant beast with extremely high intelligence in the first, second, and third order, and the other is a mutant beast that has not changed much compared to the pre-apocalyptic times. Nightstar retold the words that Eclipse had left for her to listen to everyone as they were.
"In these two mutant beasts, we can use a method to determine which of them are edible and which are not."
"How?" Someone in the auditorium couldn't help but ask curiously and excitedly.
"After killing the mutant beast, infiltrate the corpse with the power of divine thought. If it is found that they are completely unconscious after death, and still completely resist the divine power of humans, then this mutant beast cannot be eaten. On the other hand, if your divine power can penetrate into the corpse of this mutant beast, and you don't feel any obstacles, this mutant beast can be eaten. ”
Everyone was stunned, it's as simple as that? Is this really going to work? After killing the mutant beast, use the power of divine thought to infiltrate and see? But then again, they've really never done it before, maybe it's really a super strong person like Xing, who won't lie to them
Night Sky Star also thinks the same way, Eclipse Rain will definitely not lie to her, there is no need for her to do such a thing, so this method will definitely work. I don't know why, but Nightstar has already tried. The flesh of some mutant beasts is indeed edible.
It's just that she found very few such mutant beasts, and most of the mutant beasts she killed were with corrosive bone sticks, and in the end, there were no corpses left. Second, the two mutant beasts that Eclipse Rain said, she has rarely encountered them. The wisdom is very high, and he knows to avoid her. Not much has changed from before the end of the world, all of them are weak, and they instinctively know to avoid her. Therefore, there were very few mutant beast corpses that could be used as food in her spatial ring, and there were only a few of them.
However, inside the space ring, Night Sky Star is reluctant to take it out and show it to everyone. There is such a thing as storage space, which can not be taken out without taking it out. After pausing his speech, Nightstar formed a team of ten people and led them out of the base, intending to find a living example for everyone to see.
In the last days, mutant beasts don't need to be looked for at all. Night Sky Star left the base not far from the base with the other nine people, and used his divine thoughts to detect a small group of mutant beasts that were tightly gathered.
There are thirteen of them in total, and their strength is ordinary, and most of them are about the second order. Such a group of mutant beasts were encountered by the Night Sky Star, a ten-person team with an average strength of the third order. In less than half a minute, he died completely, leaving no one behind.
These thirteen mutant beasts are not all small, and any one of them is larger than the beef cattle that have grown before the end of the world. Such a mutant beast is enough for many people to eat. It's just that when Night Sky Star saw these thirteen mutant beasts, he knew that the possibility of them being edible was not high.
Because these thirteen mutant beasts are all strangely shaped, compared to the pre-apocalyptic times, some of them have three more sharp horns here, some have two more tails there, and some can't even recognize what they were before the apocalypse. The whole conjoined body has changed. None of them met the two requirements that Eclipse said.
Sure enough, after using divine mental power to detect the corpses of this pile of mutant beasts on the ground, everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed. These mutants are after they die. It's still like it's alive. Their divine power has no way to penetrate them at all.
The mutant beasts that could be eaten were not so easy to find, and the Night Sky Star continued to take them on their way. After finding six small groups of mutant beasts in succession and slaughtering them cleanly, but still nothing was found, Night Sky Star discovered a pair of birds that people in the illusion and reality called "White Bone Mandarin Ducks". They came to rest on the trunk of a large tree that had been knocked off by some mutant beast, but was still tenaciously alive.
The name of the white-boned mandarin duck is very good, and it is also very good-looking, with snow-white feathers all over its body and no variegation. They have a wingspan of more than three meters, and their flying posture is very graceful, like the spirit birds of the gods in the sky. But now any strong person knows that this is an extremely terrifying mutant bird. They always act in pairs and twos, one attacking and one defending, with tacit understanding, extremely fast, plus they have wings, they can fly high into the sky, and they can retreat immediately after attacking, which is a headache for the strong human beings.
The bird did not meet the second condition of a mutant beast that could eat, but it did meet the first. The white-boned mandarin duck was extremely intelligent when it was in the first order.
At the same time that Night Sky Star saw the two snow-white birds, the pair of white-boned mandarin ducks also noticed her. Shen Nian didn't detect the Night Sky Star, nor did it detect the people following her, they should have flown away immediately, but the Night Sky Star immediately retreated and left with a few other people after seeing them, which made them stunned for a moment.
This person is so strong, and there are so many helpers, even if she knows that they have wings, they can't be killed, they can't be injured, and they may still be entangled by them, so she won't just see them and run away immediately, is there something wrong?
The eyes of the two beautiful snow-white birds were extremely human worries and uneasiness, and they looked at each other, and decided that no matter what, it would be better to fly up to the sky first to be safer. It's just that it's too late for them to take off at this time.
When Night Sky Star saw this pair of white-boned mandarin ducks, he didn't plan to let them go. Ordinary strong people have no way to deal with them, she has a way, she has Ah Ye to retreat at the same time, Ye Tianxing ordered Ah Ye to sneak over quietly, just grab one of them casually.
Ah Ye's level is higher than that of the Night Sky Star, and those two white-boned mandarin ducks naturally can't be found. By the time they were about to fly, Ah Ye had already grabbed the claws of a white-boned mandarin duck and instantly entangled it to death.
At the same moment, Ye Tianxing, who had retreated and hid, immediately rushed forward and stabbed to death the white-boned mandarin duck that was entangled by Ah Ye with silver-white bone spurs. The other one has already taken to the skies. He didn't even run for his life, and after seeing his partner stabbed to death, he screamed mournfully and loudly, and then shot straight down like an arrow towards the night star.
The reason why the white bone mandarin duck has such a name. One is because their claws are whitish and extremely sharp. The bones are talking about their claws, and they are talking about the bones left behind by the lives they kill. The second reason is that this pair of white-boned mandarin ducks will not live to death, one of them will die, and the other will immediately avenge it. Regardless of whether this revenge can be avenged or not. In the end, the other one will be martyred, which is the origin of the word mandarin duck.
Ye Tianxing knew the spirit of the white bone mandarin duck, so she only let Ah Ye catch one. When the other abandoned the advantage that it could fly in the sky and rushed straight to her for revenge, she could easily kill the other.
Ah Ye completed the task and quietly wrapped himself around the body of the night star. The nine strong men who came with Ye Tianxing only paid attention to her sudden attack, and didn't pay much attention to Ah Ye.
While wiping the blood on the silver-white bone spurs on the snow-white and beautiful feathers of the white mandarin duck, Night Sky Star used her divine thoughts to probe, and the detection results did not disappoint her.
This pair of white-boned mandarin ducks. All are edible. The nine powerhouses who followed behind Ye Tianxing also discovered this matter later.
Now that they had found an example that could be used as a demonstration, Night Sky Star and the others no longer looked for other mutant beasts, but immediately returned to the base.
In fact, it was not long after they left, and the people gathered in the central hall did not disperse. Seeing them come back with two big white birds, everyone's hearts couldn't help but be excited, nervous and expectant.
Is this what Star said about the edible mutant beast? Is it true that eating its flesh won't explode and die?
Nightstar didn't say anything, but brought a large bird directly into the auditorium. She neatly removed a piece of meat from the bird's leg, then cut off a piece as thin as a cicada's wing, and put it into the boiling water that had been prepared in the rice cooker long ago, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
So thin slices of meat. After a casual boiling of water, it was cooked thoroughly, and the night sky star fished out the cooked meat, but it was difficult.
Her mask now covers her entire face, how is she going to eat this? I just thought about pretending to push the mask up a little. Someone opened their mouth in the audience.
"I'll do it."
The person who spoke was Han Qi, and after he finished speaking, he had already left his chair. Wu Qiancheng and Lei Fan, who were sitting beside him, were startled, and wanted to stop it, but they didn't dare to say anything, so. In the end, I could only get up and follow the cold flag to the side of the night star on the stage.
Seeing the two of them coming up, Han Qi didn't say anything, just picked up another pair of chopsticks, picked up the meat slices in the bowl, and ate them without hesitation.
At this moment, everyone's eyes in this auditorium were focused on Han Qi's body.
Ye Tianxing looked at him, this guy is really bold enough, just believe in her like this, isn't he afraid of dying from an explosion?
Wu Qiancheng and Lei Fan looked at him, their hands were shaking in fright, and they probably wanted to close their eyes too, for fear that they would see the cold flag exploding and dying when they opened their eyes.
Everyone looked at her to see if there was really nothing wrong with the meat. Everyone was nervous, but not including Night Star, she had eaten the flesh of this mutant beast, and it was impossible for her to be fine.
At this moment, there is also Hanqi who is also a very comfortable person. He ate the meat of the white-boned mandarin duck, and smacked his lips and tasted it.
A second passed...... Two seconds...... Ten seconds...... For a minute, the cold flag was fine. Night Sky Star no longer cared about everyone's reactions at this time, but took the piece of meat in his hand, swished as if he was sharpening the knife and cutting the noodles, and cut it into thin slices of meat and put it in the pot.
The sword skills of the night sky star are not covered, the pieces of meat are cut extremely thin and evenly proportioned, put them in the boiling water, and just roll them twice. This time, Han Qi was not the only one who tried it, Wu Qiancheng and Lei Fan, who were behind him, both ate two slices. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, the people in the audience came up to try it, and some of them really tasted it.
"Well, sure enough, it's the meat of a mutant beast, not a little fat, it's all skinny, and it's a little old."
"It doesn't taste good, but it's chewy."
"Nan Gongzi, why did you only arrange these things? I should have taken some more oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."
……
Inside the central district auditorium was a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, a new source of food, and they finally had a new source of food. Everyone looked at the night star, their eyes full of gratitude. Night Sky Star looked at Han Qi and blinked.
Ye Tianxing winked at Han Qi, which Lei Fan didn't see, but he clearly saw the smile on Han Qi's face when he looked at Ye Tianxing up close.
Oh my God, is Mr. Han really a ...... What's that?
Ye Tianxing noticed the expression on Lei Fan's face, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, what kind of eyes was he? And Hanqi, what does he mean by looking at her like that? Let his friends? Or a subordinate? Is the misunderstanding even worse? The last time she said it so difficult to tell him not to like her, did he all fall in the ear? And what he said about trying not to like her, won't he just perfunctory her, let her let her down her guard for the time being, right?
After noticing that his thoughts had gone astray, Night Sky Star shook his head slightly, throwing out of his mind what he shouldn't be thinking about for the time being, and focusing on business.
Before Ye Tianxing's words were finished, after the "tasting meeting", she continued to speak to everyone: "Some mutant beasts can be eaten, which is indeed a good thing. But the nine who just went out with me to find edible mutant beasts, they know that there are not many edible mutant beasts. ”
"I'm not deliberately throwing cold water on everyone, I just want you to see the reality clearly. There is no way to grow food now, but there are so many people alive that everyone needs to eat every day, and no matter how much the country's food reserves are, they will run out one day. One day, before the sun comes out, before humans can suppress the mutant beasts and drive the mutant beasts to free up the land for growing food, our food source can only be the mutant beasts.
