Chapter 28: Survivors
The hotel naturally has a kitchen
The kitchen was very neat, with pots and pans stacked on top of each other in the cupboards, and only a few baskets of rotten vegetables in the corners, which should have been the end of the world when the hotel kitchen had not yet worked.
Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are easy to find, and depending on the color, it is probably not bad.
It's just rat droppings.
"I don't know if the mouse pees in it......" Zhou Yan picked out some clean ingredients, and went to various rooms in the hotel to collect the mineral water.
There is water, there is spices, there are pots and pans.
There was also plenty of gas in the gas tank in the kitchen.
Siu-mei in progress.
Cut a large ball of meat from insects and crabs, wash them carefully, put them in a pot, add water and ingredients, and simmer over high heat. The amount of meat he stewed was enough for ten people to eat for a day, and there was such a big pot in the hotel that could hold such a large ball of meat.
Gaps in stews.
Zhou Yan went to carefully dissect the body of the insect spider crab again, hoping to find some substances similar to radiation nuclei. However, it was in vain, and there was no suspicious substance. This alien creature, with its huge body structure and not many organs, is muscular.
A clump of muscles, seeking to tie and coil, full of toughness.
It's hard to cut with a knife.
But there is one strange thing, that is, the muscles do not wrap the endoskeleton, but a mass of muscles is tight.
If it is its slender legs that do not have an endoskeleton, Zhou Yan can understand that it is the same with an exoskeleton to support. But it is a bit unimaginable that such a large spherical body has no endoskeleton found.
Even small insects on Earth have parts of the endoskeleton to support the body's organs.
"The carapace of the worm's torso is not hard, it can't be regarded as an exoskeleton, and there is no endoskeleton, so is it all dependent on this hard muscle to support the torso on its own?"
I can't think through it, so I just don't think about it.
There was already a strong fragrance wafting from the kitchen pot, tickling the gluttonous worms in Zhou Yan's stomach.
In practical terms, now he can eat without three meals, as long as the body stores calories, there will be no hunger. However, the habit of three meals cultivated in 40 years will not be changed for a while and a half.
When the time comes, I always want to eat something.
"Strange-looking insects and spider crabs, I didn't expect them to be cooked, and they taste so fragrant?" Zhou Yan couldn't wait to taste the taste of alien creatures.
In his heart, he understood insects such as bugs, spiders, and crabs as alien creatures. But the paradox is that on the one hand, he believes that there is some evil scientific organization that endangers all mankind and kidnaps him; On the other hand, he felt that alien creatures had descended on the earth, causing the end of the world.
For the time being, this answer is difficult to unravel, so it is better to enjoy the food.
Eating alien creatures for the first time.
Nervous and expectant.
Lift the lid of the pot, scoop up the meat and put it on the cutting board, the kitchen knife chops open, and the originally tight meat is now burned. Cut into shreds and serve in a large bowl.
Sprinkle some chili sauce, pour some aged vinegar, and the fragrant boiled insect and spider crab meat is baked.
The boiled worm crab meat is white with a hint of red, and the color is very beautiful. Zhou Yan looked very appetizing, hesitated for a while, turned on the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed.
Soft and firm.
This is the first feeling, maybe the chili sauce is too much, and there is no other taste, and the spicy taste is too strong. However, when you take the second bite, the taste of the meat itself, which is hidden by the spicy and vinegary taste, gradually blooms on the taste buds.
"It has a kind of beef taste, more chewy, more delicate and refreshing, and unexpectedly delicious. If you open a worm crab meat ramen restaurant for Yali, business will definitely be booming. ”
Zhou Yan ate the meat of insects, spiders and crabs, and remembered the opening of a noodle restaurant.
It should be last year, the institute suddenly received several important cases, and I was so busy that I couldn't go home and could only order takeout and eat ramen every day. Jiang Yali complained that she didn't want to do it anymore, she wanted to go home to open a ramen restaurant, and asked Zhou Yan to invest in her. Then she was severely reprimanded by Zhou Yan, criticizing and educating her to correct her thinking.
The past is vivid.
It has become a memory.
The light screen of the retina of his left eyeball interrupted his thoughts.
- "Hint, it was found that Ω evolution fluid has entered the body and is being collected. ”
- "Hint, it was found that Theta radiation gas had entered the body and was being collected. ”
- "Hint, to get a lot of calorie supplement, the body is no longer able to store, the heat has overflowed. ”
A series of three text prompts, Ω the absorption of evolution liquid and Theta radiation gas, it was not unexpected, but the overflow of heat made Zhou Yan come to his senses.
"Yes, although insects and spiders are alien creatures, they are also proteins, which can be used as food to supplement calories. Now you don't have to worry about not having food, if you don't have enough to eat, you will hunt insects! ”
Solving a troublesome matter, Zhou Yan ate more happily.
After eating a bowl of boiled meat, I was hot and dry. Although the heat cannot be stored and can only be wasted, a full 4 grams of Ω evolution fluid and 3 grams of theta radiation gas are obtained.
Now he has 4 grams of Ω evolution fluid and 50 grams of Theta radiation gas in his pocket.
The more materials you have, the more confidence you have to survive in the last days.
Just as he picked up the bowl and was about to fill another bowl of worm and crab meat, his ears suddenly moved, as if he heard the sound of cars coming from the street.
"Anyone?"
"Survivor!"
Zhou Yan put down the bowl, stood up suddenly, and walked towards the hotel lobby. As you walk to the kitchen door, pause and check your two pistols and the knife at your waist.
Then I came to the hall and looked out the window into the street.
Before the person sees it, the voice hears it first.
It was a man shouting: "There are too many scavengers, clean up the scavengers first, and then harvest the corpses...... Li Wan, you don't have to kill insects, you go and peel the insects and find out if there is a brain nucleus, this thing is valuable. ”
"I don't want to peel the skin, it's disgusting, I'm going to kill insects!" Probably Li Wan was responding, it was a female voice.
"Obey orders, or you'll kill the insects alone!" The man scolded harshly.
Zhou Yan leaned close to the window and looked in the direction of the maggot's corpse.
I saw a modified minivan parked on the other side of the collapsed flyover, with five men and one woman, surrounding the corpse of the maggot, using a special spear to kill the mutant maggots.
Mutant maggots are probably what they call scavenging insects.
The scavenger looks like a large maggot.
But as soon as the spear hits their bodies, they will immediately jump around and even fight back against the survivors. However, there are five survivors, working in pairs, working together, and a third person to guide and command, and the speed of eliminating scavenging insects is not slow, and it only takes an average of twenty seconds to solve them.
Zhou Yan planned to wait and see for a while.
The meeting of survivors in movies is often not friendly.
At this moment, a motion capture prompt suddenly appeared on the retinal light screen of the left eyeball.
On the top of the heads of the scavengers and the survivors, words appeared that could capture the movements, which made Zhou Yan raise his eyebrows and decided to capture the survivors who were in charge of the command and his movements.
Because the other party looks like a practitioner.
The action of supplementing the defense is very fast, far beyond ordinary people.
