Chapter 14: Trying

Chen Qi hung a pot on it, gurgling the meat of the demon frog in it, and some endless meat that needed to be roasted and dried to preserve it.

A rich smell of meat wafted through the room.

Xiao Eleven smelled the fragrance, sighed, and woke up from his slumber, but he looked a little weak.

It seems that no matter what you do, you can't resist the temptation of good food.

"Brother Seven, I'm having another seizure?" Xiao Shiyi asked, but now she feels better than when she woke up yesterday, probably because she has enough food and strength.

"Yes." Chen Qi nodded, "But this time it's a little better than yesterday, you woke up earlier than yesterday." ”

Chen Qi took out a bowl, scooped a bowl of broth for her, blew it cold and fed it to her.

"Sometimes, I envy you." Sun Xiaowan swallowed her saliva and said, "You are immune to the demon virus, which means that you can hardly worry about food." ”

Her stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she wanted to rush up and have a bowl, and no one would stop her, but she didn't dare.

Because the devil frog is poisonous, highly poisonous.

"That's something you can't envy. But maybe you can eat it too. Chen Qi said with a smile, "You know the puffer fish, its skin, blood, internal organs, and eyes are highly poisonous, and even some fish meat has trace amounts of toxins, but as long as it is processed well, the puffer fish can also be eaten." You are a second-level peak warrior, and your resistance to toxicity is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and these frog meats have been processed by me, so if you try a little, there should be no problem. ”

"What you said is true?" Sun Xiaowan's eyes lit up, she had also been tortured by hunger for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't be so shriveled.

If she is plump, she is definitely a beautiful woman in her prime.

"I can't guarantee it." Chen Qidao, "Xiao Eleven's body is very sensitive to the demon virus, and she doesn't seem to have any problem eating these frog meats. You eat a little carefully, experiment slowly, and maybe you can. It's up to you to try it. ”

"What if it's poisonous and I can't stop it?" Sun Xiaowan said with some concern.

"Demon viruses are actually very afraid of high temperatures, they can kill them in five minutes at seventy degrees, two minutes at ninety degrees, and one minute at more than 100 degrees. However, most people are afraid to try it, because in addition to the demon virus accident, there may be other associated toxins, such as tetrodotoxin, which is difficult to kill even in a short period of time. ”

"I didn't dare to eat it before. But after last night's experiment, I think the demon virus may not be as terrible as we imagined. It's been so long since the cataclysm broke out, and there are more or less demonic viruses in the air, water, and food, and some people have even been scratched or bitten by those mutated creatures, but they haven't turned into walking corpses or bat monsters. ”

"So my guess is that those of us who can survive will have some resistance to resist the demon virus to a certain extent. If you pay attention to the amount of intake, it can be safe within the control range. Of course, this is just my personal speculation, after all, I have a different physique from Xiao Eleven, and I may not be able to compare with normal people. ”

"If you really can't resist, I have some antibiotics and my blood here, my blood should have a certain immune effect, maybe it will have an effect on you. Little Eleven's virus is controlled in this way. ”

Chen Qi sacrificed his killer weapon.

In fact, having said so much, it seems that he is instigating Sun Xiaowan to try these frog meat that may contain demonic viruses, which is true.

In fact, he also has his own selfishness, to put it simply, he sees Sun Xiaowan's value and has a heart of love.

As things stand, most of the Axe Gang can't find antibiotics anymore, and they're likely going to a bigger city.

Whether it's for Little Eleven, or for yourself, a bigger city, a bigger quarantine area, is the best choice.

Only in those places can there be better resources, better conditions, better doctors.

But how easy is it to go to a bigger city?

If there is a master like Sun Xiaowan on the road and takes care of each other, it will definitely be much more convenient than the two of them moving forward alone.

The largest quarantine area in the vicinity should be Gallo Mountain, which was the former provincial capital, and Sun Xiaowan's parents are there, and they are both soldiers.

In this way, Sun Xiaowan also has a reason to go with her. If not, if you are lucky, you may be able to use the power of the military to find better medical conditions for Xiao Eleven when you get there.

You can't say that Chen Qi is despicable, he actually has such a mind and wants to take advantage of others, but this is the normal state of the last days, and it is the best state for people to be useful to each other.

Besides, this is not a loss for Sun Xiaowan, not only can she return to her parents, but she can also reduce some dangers, at least she doesn't have to starve so much, and take some unnecessary risks.

In this cruel world, being a young, beautiful and healthy girl is simply the greatest misfortune. If it weren't for her excellent archery skills, I'm afraid she would have become someone's plaything.

So no matter how you look at it, this is a character who must not be easily given up, and her quality and strength can be doubted, so it is very necessary to win over.

But to win him over, and if she wants to go all the way well, she must solve her diet problem, if she can also eat the meat of these mutated creatures like herself and Xiao Eleven, it will be much more convenient, and there will be no estrangement because of this.

Food is hard to find, but mutated creatures are everywhere.

Therefore, Chen Qi felt the need to encourage her to give it a try, what if it succeeded? If it doesn't work, there is still a last chance to be rescued.

Sun Xiaowan was also a little eager to try, and finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll try?" ”

"Well, eat a little meat first, see if there is any reaction later, and then continue." Chen Qi took out his bowl and scooped a piece of meat for her.

This piece of meat is plump, a little whitish in color, coarse in fiber, and exudes a steaming heat and aroma, making it delicious at first glance.

Sun Xiaowan blew, then put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, her eyes lit up, and then she couldn't wait to swallow it.

Chen Qi and Xiao Eleven both looked at her quite nervously, after all, this was a very important result.

Time passed little by little, and after waiting for about five minutes, Sun Xiaowan didn't feel anything abnormal, and for the sake of insurance, she waited for another five minutes, but Sun Xiaowan still didn't feel anything, she was even more hungry.

"Eat a little more this time." Chen Qi scooped her another spoonful of meat and directly filled half a bowl. He and Little Eleven had already eaten enough, and Little Eleven was a little drowsy.

Sun Xiaowan devoured it again.

Ten minutes later, she still didn't feel anything unusual.

Now, it is almost certain that the meat of these demon frogs should not be poisonous, and she can eat it.

So, she devoured her heart's content, and although she had no oil or salt, she couldn't bear to be hungry.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten so happily." After eating, she lay on the broken sofa next to her very unfiguratively, "If I had known that the demon frog could eat it, I would have gone to fight it a long time ago." ”

"Who would dare to do that without trying it themselves?" "In addition, people's fears are also important, especially the kind of fear that is passed on by word of mouth. Once, I got a big fish in the lake, and the people of the Carts stopped me in horror, and they said that some of them had eaten the fish in the lake because they were so hungry that they could not stand it, so they were infected with the demon virus on the spot, turned into walking corpses, and were killed by them. ”

"Now that I think about it, there must have been a reason for this. First, it may be related to their physique, their anti-toxicity is too poor, second, it may be related to their handling methods, it is estimated that they are extremely hungry, so they just eat it alive and do not get infected with the virus, and third, it may also be related to the fish in the lake, it is possible that this fish is highly toxic. ”

"The fear of death has prevented people from exploring, and all of them know it, even by word of mouth: animals infected by the demon virus cannot be eaten! So in the end, all the people are daunted, and would rather starve to death than try to eat, and the root cause is probably just the first person to eat, and they will not deal with it. ”

"So, the first person to eat crabs is great, he ate it right, he is famous for thousands of years, he ate it wrong, and it will stink for thousands of years." Chen Qi said a lot in a word.

"Then are we famous for eternity, or are we stinking for thousands of years?" Sun Xiaowan asked with a smile, and she was also very emotional in her heart, "I also have a similar experience, so I only dare to hunt those prey that have not yet mutated." But in this world now, how many things are left that have not changed? ”

"The world will always develop, there will always be some people who are not afraid of death, and they will slowly sum up their experience, and maybe one day, people will bring these mutated creatures to the table, and they will eat them with relish and sigh, 'Ah, it's delicious, thanks to the virus demon, this food is more delicious.'" ”

As the night grew darker, the two chatted for a while, and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, it began to rain in the sky again, and the sky and the earth were gray.

Chen Qi boiled the broth, and the three of them had a full meal again.

Today, they are going to the Axe Gang camp and Ronghui Hospital, although they don't have any hope, but if they don't go to see it, they won't feel at ease.

In front of the camp of the Axe Gang, there were still mountains of monster corpses, and the scorching smell was so bad that there was no way to get off their feet.

Their bunkers were also blown down, leaving only bricks and ruins.

"No, Brother Seven, come and see, there are footprints here, there should be people alive." Sun Xiaowan suddenly shouted.

It turned out that she was on the periphery and checked some people's footprints.

Chen Qi ran over to take a look, and sure enough, on the periphery of the bunker, he found some messy footprints, it seemed that there were at least three or four people, and the footprints were very deep, it should be a few adults.

"Maybe they had underground shelters and then moved some people in." Chen Qi guessed.

There is also some hope in his heart, as long as there are people, there may still be antibiotics.

"So those of my companions might still be alive?" Sun Xiaowan was also pleasantly surprised.

"It's hard to say, you have to make sure where their camp is. It could also be the footprints left behind by someone who went out on a mission. ”。

"The footprints seem to come out of that area, and then disappear when they reach the door." Sun Xiaowan pointed to a semi-abandoned building not far away.

"Then let's go and have a look." Chen Qi picked up the Divine Arm Bow, carried Chen Shiyi on his back, and walked there cautiously.
