Chapter 237: Windfall
I haven't had an in-depth communication with Yan Lili, so I don't know that she has a similar background to Ling Ge.
"What kind of ice were you?" Ling Ge asked with interest.
"Soak in the ice, but I'm a civilian." Yan Lili said with a smile.
That's also amazing, a girl goes to dry soak ice.
"Look at your homework on the picture, it's very standard, and you've studied it specially?" Ling Ge asked again, she was proficient in drawing maps with all uses, and Xiaoxiao had also learned it.
"Although we are clerical, we also have to learn some techniques related to bubbles, including maps, ballistics, simple geology, and urban architecture." Yan Lili snapped her fingers, and when she spoke, her face was full of pride.
"What does ice bubble have to do with urban architecture?" I asked, puzzled.
"In modern warfare, fire bubbles are rarely used, but it does not mean that the weapon of fire bubbles has been eliminated, in local wars, especially in urban street battles, the use of fire bubbles is still very common," Yan Lili said this, shaking her head, "I really envy your team, if you give me a mortar bubble, you won't lose to Hu Fei's army!" ”
The list of 108 teams, SB has sent to each team, so we know Yan Lili, and she also knows us, including our equipment.
"There will be a chance for you to bubble up in the future!" Ling Ge looked at me ambiguously, "His skills may not be worse than that of you, a professional bubble soldier!" ”
“…… When you get to the Enclave, let's get a map first. I digressed the conversation just in time.
I was about to ask Yan Lili, what kind of guns are there, after all, it is an ice cloth team, and the guns are auxiliary ice weapons, it is estimated that there will not be many of them, and we can't take the big bubbles away, so it's useless - a female student in charge of guarding at the bow of the boat suddenly called me: "Teacher Xia!" There are monsters in the water! ”
I suddenly became nervous, the water here was a little more turbid than in the Changjiang River, and there was a lot of silt, which was easy to hide famous creatures, so I quickly ran to the bow of the boat and looked in the direction of her finger.
There were quite a few, at least a dozen, in a row at the bottom of the water about twenty meters in front of our boat, moving slowly!
"What's that?" I asked Ling Ge, and I could only see that each monster was a large mass of black and swarthy, and I couldn't see the face or form clearly.
"It's not like a sea creature," Ling Ge put down his binoculars and turned his head back, "An Lan, stop the boat!" ”
The cousin stopped the fishing boat, Xiaoxiao behind also extinguished the fire, and the people on the decks of both boats were silent, holding weapons, and observing them vigilantly.
The monster did not attack us, it still maintained a lateral movement, sneaking towards the east bank of the river on the right-hand side, and soon reached the shallow water on the bank, and the head of the monster with the big head was exposed to the water, and the first to come out were two curved and long horns!
"Damn, scare me!" Ling Ge put down the gun that had been raised for a long time.
"What's that?" I still asked nervously, but I didn't see it!
"Buffalo!"
As Ling Ge's words fell, all the heads of the "monster" surfaced, slowly turned his head, and glanced at us, sure enough, it was a big buffalo.
I haven't been to the countryside of Jiangnan much, and I've seen buffaloes, but I don't know if they can walk underwater – is that where their name comes from?
"Do you want to do a vote?" Ling Ge licked his lips.
"Don't you, it's hard to carry," I said, "and it stinks in two days." ”
"What if you make beef jerky?" Ling Ge asked rhetorically.
Yes! I immediately called Dongdong and asked if I could do it, the key was that I didn't know how long it would take to make beef jerky, and if it needed to be air-dried for several days, then forget it, it was better to hurry.
Dongdong said that air-dried beef jerky is a practice in the north, and the south does not need it, just roast it, and if you can find a suitable place, you can get it in 3 hours.
"it," I said, "but can it be solved with a knife?" I'm afraid of attracting zombies with a gun. ”
"Leave it to me, you go to the shore to find a suitable place, and find some firewood!" Ling Ge said.
The buffalo were slow, and by the time we had discussed what to do, they were not yet fully ashore.
The second boat docked on the right side, no need to look at the map, crossed the road, it was a large stadium, but I didn't know what it was, I sent the Lianye team to investigate, and soon reported, saying that it was the Youth Olympic Sports Park, which was safe inside, and no zombies were found.
All around are sealed, Lian Ye They smashed the glass curtain wall to enter, I went in to see, there is a semi-open-air football field, there is a comprehensive gymnasium, the main venue is a basketball court, it is expected to need a lot of fire, so I decided to make a barbecue in the football field, and split half of the people to go to the nearby firewood.
Look at the watch, at twelve o'clock at noon, I set an alarm clock, to three o'clock in the afternoon, how much can be done, no matter how late it is too late to go up the mountain before the dark, the front is the main urban area of Pukou District, or a little dangerous.
Dongdong, the head chef, has become the commander-in-chief of this temporary plan, in addition to the cattle killing team, the firewood team, and the seasoning team.
At half past twelve, Ling Ge and the others pushed a few garbage removal trucks (the neighborhood was relatively desolate, and there were really no other vehicles available), and pulled the cattle into the stadium, because the buffalo was too heavy and they had no lifting equipment, so they had to unload the buffalo directly on the shore, and all the pieces pulled in were large pieces of beef wrapped in plastic bags.
"How many were killed?" I asked.
"Twelve, these buffaloes are so big, each one has 7 or 8 hundred catties, and the average meat yield is about 40%."
"More than 3,000 pounds of meat?" I was surprised, "On average, each person has to weigh nearly 20 pounds, can they carry it?" ”
"Count as much as you can bring, besides, after drying, it shouldn't be so heavy, isn't it, Dongdong?" Ling Ge asked.
"Don't worry," Dongdong said with a smile, "The water content of beef is nearly 80%, and when made into beef jerky, it will shrink by at least three-quarters of its weight!" ”
Five pounds? That's okay!
Soon, the firewood team led by my cousin also came back, there was charcoal, there was also dry firewood, and after a few minutes, Han Lime's seasoning team also came back, Dongdong said before, but only salt and pepper (thirteen spices), Dongdong said enough, the more original the taste, the better!
Time was pressing, the amount of meat that needed to be processed was huge, and there was no need to care about hygiene, so everyone went into battle and used daggers, knives, and any sharp objects they could find, according to Dongdong's requirements, to cut large pieces of beef into long strips with a diameter of less than five centimeters.
There were no pots, so I took Xiaoxiao's detachment to dig a few pits in the football field, spread plastic sheets in them to separate the soil, and then put the cut beef strips into it, poured salt and pepper into the bags and stirred it with a gun holder - no way, I couldn't find a suitable shovel or other tools, and finally found that the gun holder was still easy to use.
While stirring the beef, Chen Zui'er's detachment collected a large number of branches, Dongdong taught them how to skewer beef, and then, at the same time, lit more than a dozen bonfires, roasted, Dongdong has been guiding from one fire to another, how far the beef is from the fire, to what extent it is roasted, and other meticulous work.
I admire Dongdong a little now, she is a sports student, when did she have so much knowledge about cooking in her head?
I also roasted a skewer, probably because these buffaloes didn't have to work for months, and they ate everywhere (the last days are simply paradise for herbivores, and the crops in the field can be eaten as much as you want), and they all eat fat, the meat is more fatty, the fat content is high, and when they are roasted, they are oily, and they are fragrant!
As everyone becomes more and more proficient, the efficiency of roast beef jerky has gradually improved, and when it is half past two, the last batch of beef jerky is roasted, and the first few batches of beef jerky are also cooled and can be carried in bags.
There is no need to be fair, each person decides how much to carry according to their own situation, anyway, the amount is very sufficient, Dongdong estimates that the basic nutrition provided by these beef jerky is enough for us to go all the way west to the Sichuan and Shu Basin!
It's about the same as Dongdong's calculation, the average carrying capacity of each person is about five catties, and it doesn't take up space, wrapped in a plastic bag, and packed in a backpack, only a small lump.
At this time, the originally gloomy sky began to rain lightly, just in time to help us extinguish the fire.
"This rain came in time, it can cover up the smell," Ling Ge looked at his watch, and then looked at the scene, "It's almost cleaned up, let's leave quickly!" ”
Everyone carried the new "dry food", left the gymnasium, and the peripheral guard detachment - mainly the little foxes and huskies, their vigilance ability is stronger, so I only left a few people, those huskies, very fond of eating cow offal, all eat rolling melons and round, animals are not like people, they don't eat a meal hungry panic, after they are full, it doesn't matter if they don't feed for several days, they can maintain sufficient physical strength, accompany us over the mountains and mountains.
Ling Ge was still in awe of life, and at the scene of slaughtering cattle on the shore, he lit three cigarettes and bowed, and said some words of thanks to the buffalo.
At three o'clock, the two fishing boats continued to move forward, preparing to cross the main city of Pukou before dark and reach Lion Rock.
The rain was pouring down, and the city was quiet, except for the occasional zombie, hiding in the building, staring blankly at us.
No survivors were found, and no high-level zombies were found, I don't know if this city was originally absent, or if they were all hiding in the dark - our formation is very strong, the deck is full of people, and the people are all guns in their hands, facing all directions, like armored hedgehogs, except for fourth-order zombies, fools will show their heads and come to us head-on.
I deliberately slowed down the two boats, so as not to let the engines be too loud, and at 3:40 we passed through the city smoothly and came to a pier about 300 meters from the foot of Lion Rock, with a rubber dam in front of it, about two meters high, and even if there was a waterway, the boat could not go up, and I ordered that after checking the personal belongings again to make sure that they were not left on the boat, all the team members went ashore and banished the fishing boat and let it go down the river.
First, there is no trace of landing; Second, it is also to give everyone an ideological indoctrination of "breaking the kettle and sinking the boat", and there is no way back!
However, less than two minutes after the fishing boat was exiled, everyone was still assembled on the shore, and the marching queue had not yet been completed, and I regretted it a little.
"Well, let's fight," Ling Ge grumbled as he looked at the enemies surging from the foot of the mountain, "I knew it wouldn't be so smooth......
