Zheng Rui and Bian Na tinkered for a long time, and finally separated all the edible tissues in the alien shell, wrapped them in a glider and brought them back to the commissary. The remaining one ordinary claw and one mutant claw were unscrewed off by Zheng Rui as a knife, and the internal organs that Bian Na didn't eat were eaten by Zheng Rui casually, and the rest were discarded because of the more alien bacteria that might be carried and were difficult to deal with; The shell was exposed to the ground outside with the shell of the two aliens before, thinking that it might be used again in the future.

Zheng Rui and Bian Na returned to the underground commissary with the alien meat wrapped in the glider, and after cleaning the knives, they began to boil water.

Zuo Youcheng was still sitting on the box, holding the collection of Liu Cixin's short stories that Zheng Rui had read before. When he saw the two of them coming back with a bunch of blue-blue-green-green things, he asked curiously, "Big guy, what is this?" Jelly? ”

"Jelly, do you want to eat it?" Zheng Rui asked him with a smile.

"So much jelly? This must be a few dozen pounds, right? Zuo Youcheng put down the book and leaned out, trying to see clearly what was holding in the transparent "plastic film", "Where did you get it?" ”

"Pulled out of the alien shell." Benna replied as she heated the pot.

"I'm going to ......" Zuo Youcheng frowned suddenly, "What are you doing with the thing, do you still want to cook it?" ”

"It's better to boil." Zheng Rui raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Do you want to taste it?" ”

"Don't tease me, no." Zuo Youcheng said dissatisfiedly.

He thought it was disgusting enough to see this thing as jelly, who knew that Zheng Rui actually pinched a soft and lying alien meat, directly tore a piece and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "It's also delicious to eat raw." ”

Zuo Youcheng watched her swallow the alien meat, and couldn't help but close his eyes in some pain.

"Alright, alright, the water is boiling." Bian Na took her right hand away from the bottom of the pot, only used her left hand to heat the bottom of the pot, and grabbed the alien meat from the glider with Zheng Rui with her right hand and put it inside, "By the way, we have eaten instant noodles for two days, and it's time to eat alien meat today." Eat fresh things first, and those that are sterilized and packaged can be left for longer. ”

"No, it's really delicious?!" Zuo Youcheng opened his eyes and almost didn't jump off the box, "The alien is an alien creature, can't it eat the dead like this?!" ”

Zheng Rui saw that he was making a fuss a little too much, and couldn't help but put away his joking tone: "We have already eaten, and it will be fine." ”

Bian Na also said: "The previous two aliens were also boiled and stored in this way, and it has been confirmed that they are okay after eating." What I want to eat today is also saved before, and it will definitely not be poisonous. ”

"That'...... You can't eat aliens, can you? Zuo Youcheng was speechless, and had to poke his cousin, "Brother, you tell them......"

At this time, Fang Tong finally spoke, but he just said softly: "It has been said that there is no poison, it should be edible." ”

Zuo Youcheng thinks that maybe the alien meat is not poisonous, but they are all poisonous!

——

In the end, everyone still ate alien meat.

Bian Na roasted the cooked alien meat on the iron plate until it was slightly both sides, then sliced it with a knife and mixed it with kale. They had to eat the kale first, and the leafy vegetable spoiled quickly in the summer.

In the dim light underground, it was impossible to see what was mixed in the pot. Zuo Youcheng and Fang Tong barely ate two pieces, and it felt like something that could be eaten, but it was a bit similar to half-cooked salmon fillet.

For fear of being poisoned, the two of them didn't eat much alien meat, but silently sandwiched kale leaves until they were three or four minutes full. During the special period, he couldn't ask for food, just to take care of the wounded with a broken leg, Bian Na also gave Zuo Youcheng a pack of biscuits, so as not to affect his recovery from the leg injury due to the lack of calories in the alien meat.

However, when Zheng Rui was taking the tools she used to do the near-death experiment, walking towards the warehouse and passing by the box at the door, she saw Zuo Youcheng take out half of the biscuit bag and hand it to Fang Tong.

She felt slightly unhappy, because the food that Bian Na cooked just now was actually enough for four people to eat, but Zuo Youcheng and Fang Tong were stunned and didn't eat much. Bian Na gave Zuo Youcheng a pack of biscuits to take care of the wounded, to give him something that was easier for the digestive system of the earth's mammals, not to make up for the food they actively did not eat. But after thinking about it, it is not so easy to make normal people accept eating aliens, not to mention that Fang Tong is Zuo Youcheng's cousin, and he can't watch his cousin eat cookies alone while hungry.

However, Zheng Rui didn't see it, and when her gaze looked over, Fang Tong's hand holding the biscuit shrank significantly, and then hid back in the shadow of the box.

Zheng Rui walked into the warehouse, cut the plastic folder and inserted the funnel made of it into the 2L bottle that received the blood, and then moved two boxes out, lying on them with the neck between the boxes, and the funnel and cup were aligned underneath to prepare for receiving blood.

She tied her hair up, pressed her neck with one hand, and sliced her carotid artery with the other's alien claws.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Rui walked out of the warehouse with a bottle of blood and a shaped claw, took out the experiment record book from the hiking bag, and took it outside to write the experiment record according to the usual practice.

【August 20th 15:30】

Death from blood loss - carotid artery:

Instruments and materials: special-shaped claws, funnel (plastic folder making), 2L beverage bottle

Procedure: Lie flat on the box, and the funnel is below to receive blood to the drink bottle; The carotid artery is located, quickly inserted and then withdrawn; The blood flow is rapid, and the sensation is blurred to the point of loss of consciousness; By the time consciousness was restored, the bleeding had completely stopped and the wound had healed.

NDE Experience: Feel pleasant, a point of light appears in the center of the darkness of the vision, and a bright starry sky appears to be fully awake.

————————————

The combination of near-death experience and recovery and waking up suggests that she did not enter suspended animation at all due to blood loss from the carotid artery this time. Perhaps a good thing, it shows that her recovery ability has increased significantly.

Zheng Rui put away the experiment notebook and returned to the commissary with at least two-thirds of the bottles. She felt very thirsty, so she took a plastic bag of water from the shelf and drank it directly.

Seeing her reaction, Bian Na knew that she was going to "commit suicide" again. It was a bit bloody, and she didn't usually dare to look at it. But now because of saving Zuo Youcheng, it has also been exposed that Zheng Rui is immortal, in fact, it doesn't matter if he hides or not.

"Xiao Rui, do you have any other way - train?" Bian Na replaced "suicide" with "training", "It hurts so much to bleed, and it's a waste." ”

"It's nothing to hurt, and it's not a waste." Zheng Rui picked up the 2L bottle and shook it in front of her, "I can still store it, but I don't know how long it can be stored." ”

Bian Na looked away with some psychological discomfort, and Zuo Youcheng, who was sitting next to her to recuperate, also shifted her gaze.

Zheng Rui pursed her lips and tried to save her image again: "That...... If it doesn't work, it can still be used as water, right? ”
