Chapter 14: Teppanyaki

August 17th, the sixth day of the start of the "Apocalyptic Mod".

When Bian Na woke up, Zheng Rui hadn't woken up yet, she was woken up by the sound of the young lady practicing her abilities against the wall.

After the power was cut off, most of the underground kiosk was dark, and only less than a quarter of the area close to the door could be seen in a little sunlight, and then the diffuse reflection through the walls barely formed a gray scale that could be discerned by the human eye. However, Zheng Rui thinks that it may be her delusion, or maybe she is used to living in such darkness and her pupil sphincter has been trained, in short, her current night vision ability seems to have improved a little.

Anyway, it's also possible that rods have increased - consciousness can be connected, and it's not strange that something else is unthinkable.

Zheng Rui stood up from the ground with the help of the table at the counter, and Bian Na stopped what she was doing when she heard the voice, turned back to her and asked, "Wake up, Xiao Rui?" ”

"What time is it...... Zheng Rui rubbed her eyes, came out of the counter, picked up the Coke bottle with tap water from the ground and took a sip.

Yesterday, although the young lady was asked to replenish her water well, Bian Na was probably used to saving, and she only drank a third of the bottle. Zheng Rui drank a third of the bottle in one go, and then went out to fetch water again with the Coke bottle.

In fact, it wasn't just for the sake of getting water, the main thing was that she was a little hungry.

Hunger is not uncommon during periods of shortage, and people who may live in these two settlements live a life of at most five full for six days. But the thought of a fresh alien corpse outside makes you want to have a full meal.

Moreover, Zheng Rui silently thought that if she didn't eat this thing, it wouldn't be good if she left it for a long time. Even if it is an alien species, the microorganisms in its own body will corrode the corpse, and after spoilage, it is not known whether it can be eaten or not.

Of course, there are safety issues, but Zheng Rui ate more than a pound of "insect legs" yesterday, and he didn't feel anything unusual after that, indicating that this thing should be generally non-toxic. You can pull one for Bian Na to taste, and it should be okay to eat a little less, even if it is poisoned...... Can it be saved with her blood?

However, if the poisoning causes systemic organ failure, it is estimated that a lot of blood will be used. Zheng Rui unscrewed the cap of the Coke bottle and squatted down to receive water. But people are always animalistic, and if they don't eat delicious things, it's too wasteful, Zheng Rui can't bear it. The ancients have known for a long time that puffer fish are poisonous, but there are still people who eat puffer fish.

Zheng Rui ripped off the other entire first pair of large appendages from the alien corpse, and a large bundle of blue-blue-green-green tissue brought out of the fracture still looked fresh. She returned to the kiosk with the alien appendage and the refilled Coke bottle, and saw that Benna was still practicing her emitting electromagnetic waves.

"Sister Na, I found that the alien legs can be eaten, I ate three yesterday, it should be fine." Zheng Rui said happily.

"Huh?" Bian Na turned her head and saw the alien appendage she was carrying in her hand that seemed to be magnified N times and adjusted to a strange color of king crab legs, and she couldn't help frowning and revealing an unacceptable expression, "This thing...... You...... How did you come up with the idea that it could be eaten......"

"Because aliens can eat people, it means that the chemical composition should be similar, so theoretically humans can also digest alien tissues to obtain energy." Zheng Rui explained simply.

"No, no, I won't eat it." Ben Na hurriedly shook her head.

"Let's try it first." Zheng Rui put down the Coke bottle, tore off a piece of the bundle-like tissue at the broken part of the alien leg with her hand, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed, "It's sweet and salty, it's quite delicious." ”

Bian Na looked at it and felt her scalp tingle. In fact, this thing doesn't look disgusting, probably because the liquid in it is blue-green instead of red, and even people who are a little sick will not feel very uncomfortable when they look at it. But things of this color are often a sign of "inedible" in the natural world of the earth, and it is a bit too difficult for people to eat the blue-green alien meat.

But Zheng Rui ate it all, and objectively speaking, if they could survive by eating fresh alien meat for a few days, it would also save food. There is no refrigerator after the power is off, and any food without preservatives cannot be saved in this weather, and if the alien wants to eat it, he has to eat it quickly.

Bian Na thought a little off the line, and her thoughts seemed to have begun to develop in the direction of Zheng Rui......

"I ...... I'll warm it up and try it again. Benna said reluctantly.

Zheng Rui immediately pulled out a large blue bundle of tissue from the "insect legs" and found an iron plate that had been removed from the shelf before and put it on it.

Is this still going to be teppanyaki?

Still......

It's pretty creative......

Bian Na put her hand under the iron plate, and quickly heated the iron plate, which had good thermal conductivity. Zheng Rui took a pair of disposable chopsticks and roasted the alien meat several times, until its color changed from translucent dark blue to more transparent light blue, and finally it turned out to be completely transparent like jelly without color.

It never smelled like anything - but luckily it didn't smell either.

Zheng Rui cut a small piece with a utility knife and tasted it herself, in fact, it was not as sweet as raw when roasted, but the taste became better, not like a cowhide band and it took a lot of teeth to chew.

Seeing that she had swallowed it, Bian Na had no choice but to frown and cut a very small piece and put it in her mouth.

Under Zheng Rui's expectant gaze, she resisted the desire to spit out immediately and rinse her mouth a hundred times, and barely chewed it......

Still......

It's delicious......

"How?" Zheng Rui asked.

Although Bian Na chewed, she didn't dare to swallow it, but just closed her mouth and nodded.

"Sister Na, you swallow it, it's okay." Zheng Rui encouraged her, "I ate three sticks yesterday. ”

Bian Na couldn't help but want to complain, Zheng Rui and her sister are not good at all! Her sister is so quiet and cute, and Zheng Rui is simply a little savage...... However, in this harsh situation, becoming a "wild man" is the most adaptable option.

She...... She's out!

Benna swallowed the piece of roasted alien meat, and even after swallowing it, there was still that salty and sweet taste in her mouth......

"Water...... I'll drink some water......" Benna said in a hoarse voice.

Zheng Rui immediately copied the Coke bottle and handed it to her.

Bian Na no longer has the image of a young lady, so she poured a large sip of water directly into the bottle and washed the taste in her mouth.

"More?" Zheng Rui asked.

"Forget it—forget it." Bian Na hurriedly refused, "I...... I'll see if I'll have allergies or anything after eating it, and I'll eat it again if it's okay......"
