Zheng Rui went out to fetch water and didn't see anything suspicious. When I came back, I took another look at the alien corpse at the entrance of the basement hole, and it didn't show the slightest sign of decay after a whole day, and it was really a species with a completely different chemical basis.

Wait, like you're missing something?

Missed before, an important fact......

It occurred to her that the xenomorph was eating Benna just now, which meant that the xenomorph might be able to digest human tissue, or at least the tissues of Earth creatures were not toxic to them. And the other way around? The fact that aliens are capable of preying on humans means that the chemistry between the two is at least somewhat similar, which means that humans may be able to prey on aliens in reverse.

If you don't prey, you are preyed. She thought it was highly likely.

Thinking of this, Zheng Rui put the Coke bottle aside and unscrewed the second section of a forelimb from the alien corpse on the ground.

Because she can be resurrected, it doesn't matter much even if she is poisoned, so it's worth a try. And when she was doing an internship in the field with the department, she also tasted raw grasshopper legs. In fact, the taste is acceptable, so I hope this is about the same.

Zheng Rui put the severed edge of the alien forelimb to his mouth, and there was a bundle of nerves and musculature hanging on the severed wound, which was as blue-blue-green as musculature, but there was no smell of organic matter. She licked it carefully, and miraculously, it tasted good, and not just salty from inorganic matter, but with a strange sweetness.

This......

How can you still ......

It's kind of delicious?!

She couldn't help but take a big sip into the severed edge of the alien forelimb, sucking the strip that resembled muscle tissue into her mouth and chewing it, it tasted like beef tendons, and it was really delicious.

Maybe it was because the cup noodles just now were too embarrassed to eat much because they were divided between two people, Zheng Rui felt really hungry at this time, and unconsciously sucked up this knot as long as a human calf and chewed it clean. Then she remembered that she still had to catch water, and hurriedly picked up the Coke bottle and walked down.

Back in the commissary, Benna was able to stand up on the shelves. When she saw Zheng Rui, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, you ran into an alien?" ”

"Nope." Zheng Rui was a little strange, seeing her staring at her face, she wiped her face with hindsight and found that her hands were full of blue-green liquid. However, if he directly said that he had eaten an alien, he would be regarded as a weirdo, Zheng Rui just said: "I...... Moved the alien corpse a little bit. ”

"Oh...... Be careful. Benna breathed a sigh of relief.

"Drink water." Zheng Rui handed her the Coke bottle, "How are your legs?" Are the bones all right? ”

"It's okay, it feels totally fine." Benna carefully touched the skin around the wound, "Thank you so much...... But you've shed so much blood......"

"I'm very fast at hematopoiesis, so it's nothing." Zheng Rui said with a smile, "I also tried to cut the carotid artery, and I lost more than 30% of the blood, and nothing happened at all." ”

"Don't tell anyone." Ben Na hurriedly instructed her, "It's not just immortals, but no one should tell outsiders about the type of ability - although this is from the novel, I still think it makes sense." ”

It does make sense, now that there are no differences in social class, the ability is the biggest hole card in everyone's hand. In the face of possible enemies, you must not show your hole cards first.

"I'm definitely not going anywhere else." Zheng Rui responded, and then opened the shelves at the door again, "You drink water first, I'll go out...... Let's 'study' the xenomorph corpse. ”

——

After Zheng Rui got to the ground, he couldn't help but gnaw off the first section of the alien's forelimb.

She thought a little nonsensically, if the alien meat was so delicious for humans, did it mean that human meat was just as delicious for them? Then the alien grabbing Bian Na and eating it is also very understandable. However, people are people, non-humans are non-people, this alien is at best an alien beast with no brains, and if human society returns to order, it may be able to be raised in captivity for everyone to taste.

Zheng Rui flipped open its head as she sucked on the newly torn off second pair of alien appendages. She stomped the head of the thing with one kick, and she didn't even look closely at what was inside.

This time, I opened it and looked at it, and found that the hard shell was empty except for the eyes, what seemed to be the esophagus, and what resembled a nerve bundle, and there was no obvious central structure in sight. Looks like this thing is really brainless, worse than the insects of the earth.

But since we need to "study" it carefully, let's dissect it a little bit.

Zheng Rui sat down and tried to cut its abdomen with the shell of the alien forelimb that was left. However, the blue hyperplastic outer armor of this alien abdomen is a bit tricky, its texture is not like an exoskeleton, but it has a strange toughness, and the feel is still quite good, but it is difficult to cut through with its own shell.

Zheng Rui had no choice but to cut it open from the healing part of her chest and abdomen, but she didn't think it could be seen clearly, and a lot of blue-green liquid flowed out, so she had to perfunctorily put her hand in it and take out a handful casually.

Not to mention, she really touched something now, it was something shaped like an octahedron. Zheng Rui took out this hard thing and saw that it was covered with a thick layer of light blue tissue that seemed to be blood vessels, and it had gradually shrunk at this time.

She took one and tasted it, it was similar to the taste of bamboo shoots, a little sweeter than other tissues. And this octahedron is like the size of a plum, wrapped in a layer of "bamboo shoots" on the outside, and there is probably a hard core inside. Zheng Rui ate the light blue tissue outside, and put the octahedral hard core in his mouth and tasted it.

It doesn't matter if you taste it, Zheng Rui suddenly felt a prick on her tongue, and then reflexively swallowed this hard core. She realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly pressed the root of her tongue to induce vomiting, but she couldn't vomit at all, and she was reluctant to eat so much just now.

Hey, it's okay, anyway, the immortal type, can't you just be poisoned and resurrected.

Zheng Rui comforted herself, and took a big sip of the second pair of large appendages of the alien with confidence.

It wasn't until she was full that Zheng Rui got up from the ground, wiped her face, and wiped the blue-green juice off her cheeks. In fact, she wanted to bring back an appendage for Bian Na, but she felt that the young lady couldn't be so unimpressive.

And she just eats it now, and she doesn't know if there will be anything else after digestion, so she should observe it for a period of time to confirm that it is safe before giving it to others. Otherwise, Bian Na is not an immortal type, and it will be difficult to eat like this if she is poisoned.
