Chapter 205 Eating is not a trivial matter
Since the little tiger was able to deal with zombies on its own, Yu Wen found that it had never used that "bloody mouth". Whether it's dealing with ordinary zombies or facing lickers, the little tiger is all solved with its claws. In addition to eating, its big mouth will only lick back and forth on its hands and face when it is happy with itself.
Zombie cats can be said to have died miserably. The body was covered with large and small scratches, the most fatal place was on the neck. The zombie cat's neck is almost half bitten off! The bone slag of the vertebrae was so naked that it was exposed to the air, and the trachea was also bitten, and blood was still bubbling out at this time.
"Huh?" Yu Wen suddenly discovered something.
"What's wrong?" Hearing Yu Wen's doubts, Zhang Xiaoming asked Yu Wen puzzled.
Yu Wen took the flashlight in Zhang Xiaoming's hand, carefully looked at the zombie cat's body several times, and finally said with a little surprise: "Damn, this is not a fucking zombie beast at all, this is a mutated cat!" ”
"Not a zombie beast? Mutated cats? Is there any difference between the two? Zhang Xiaoming asked confusedly.
Yu Wen's conclusion made everyone curious, and many people gathered around, looking at Yu Wen, waiting for Yu Wen's explanation. Seeing so many people looking at him like curious babies, Yu Wen thought about it before he said his opinion.
"Ahem~~ Well, this is just my personal opinion, just listen to it.
Zombie beasts and mutant beasts, simply put, literally. Let's just say that ordinary zombies, they will have many decaying places on their bodies, and the same is true for zombie beasts. If you take a closer look at this mutant cat, there is nothing rotten on its body, except that it is several times larger than the average domestic cat, and it is no different from a domestic cat in other places.
What my tiger looks like is also obvious to all. It's not more than a year old, but if you look at this guy, it's almost as old as an adult tiger. As far as I know, in terms of size, it seems that it takes a year or two, two or three years for a tiger to grow to such a large size from birth to adulthood, right?
Also, this guy's IQ is much higher than that of ordinary animals, and it seems to be able to understand most of what we humans say. So I put the changes that happened to the little tiger to 'mutation'. ”
"You mean that as long as it hasn't decayed, an animal that can remain its original form is mutated? And if the body is decomposed, it can be attributed to zombie beasts? This 'big cat' is a mutant animal, just like your tiger, not a zombie beast? Zhang Xiaoming quickly understood what Yu Wen meant.
According to what Yu Wen said, he carefully examined the big cat's body again, and finally nodded to everyone to confirm: "There is indeed no rot on this cat's body, except for the big one, I really didn't find anything abnormal." ”
Many people became curious, and one by one they observed the corpse of the big cat. After Cheng Xuelin saw the corpse of the big cat, he hesitated for a moment before asking Yu Wen: "Captain Yu, even if we figure out what kind of zombie beast it is, what kind of mutant beast can we do?"
Now that I think about it, when we were in town, we killed a few zombie beasts and mutant beasts. No matter what these animals become, they will attack people! ”
When he was in the town, Cheng Xuelin led the villagers to kill a few animals. Some of those animals are zombies, some are mutated, and without exception, all of them will attack when they see a living person. This made him wonder, even if he could distinguish the difference between zombie beasts and mutant beasts, what was the use?
Cheng Xuelin's question made Yu Wen stunned.
yes, what's the use of distinguishing the difference? No matter what kind of animal it is, it will attack its prey when it sees it until it kills or is killed. In this regard, whether it is a zombie beast or a mutant beast, the nature of the two is the same.
"Well~ I don't know what this is for. I only found out that this big cat was different from other zombie beasts, so I said that. You're right, whether it's a zombie beast or a mutant beast, these animals will attack when they see a living person. Maybe my tiger is a little different from other animals because it has always lived around humans since it was a child. ”
Thinking that the little tiger has been taken care of by humans since it was born, Yu Wen can only define the little tiger as a "special case" in the end.
Many people also think that what Cheng Xuelin said is good. No matter how it changes, these animals will be a great threat, they will attack humans, they will eat human flesh, and they will drink human blood. When you encounter these animals, you either kill them or you get killed by them, and there is no other choice.
After discussing for a long time, everyone found that they were just busy working in vain, and they all became a little unhappy, and they scattered in twos and threes.
Yu Wen looked at the corpse of the big cat, then at the huge wound on his neck, and then at the little tiger, Yu Wen always felt that there was something that everyone hadn't noticed.
The little tiger rubbed on Yu Wen's leg again, and when Yu Wen picked up the body of the big cat, he found that the little tiger's eyes had been following the corpse, which made him think of a possibility.
"You want this? Do you want to eat this cat? Yu Wen swayed the big cat's corpse while observing the little tiger.
The little tiger's eyes have been staring intently at the corpse in Yu Wen's hand, and when he heard that Yu Wen was going to give the big cat to it to eat, this guy immediately used the set he usually used when he was coquettish with Yu Wen, rubbing Yu Wen's legs for a while, and then pounced on Yu Wen to lick Yu Wen, but was dodged by Yu Wen, and finally he lay on the ground and rolled on the ground to "sprinkle".
Seeing the little tiger's appearance, Yu Wen understood that this guy really wanted to eat this big cat! However, Yu Wen is still not at ease. After all, this cat can be regarded as mutated, and there will definitely be a virus in its body, what if the little tiger eats this big cat and becomes a zombie tiger?
"Are you really going to eat this? Are you sure you'll be fine after eating? Won't turn into a zombie? Yu Wen asked again, except for the first sentence to ask the little tiger, the next two sentences were even more asking himself.
"Brother Wen, you can give it food. Didn't you see that this cat's neck has been bitten off by a little bastard! I saw that this bastard had been a vegetarian for too long, and suddenly he tasted fishy again, and I couldn't help it. ”
Jiang Bin and Su Gu led people to dig a big pit outside according to Yu Wen's request, and Yu Wen's words happened to let Jiang Bin hear them. Jiang Bin didn't think much about it, and opened his mouth to ask for mercy for the little tiger. He thought that since the little tiger had already eaten the meat of the big cat, he didn't need to care much.
Jiang Bin's words reminded Yu Wen. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little tiger, Yu Wen let go of his hand, and before the big cat's corpse landed, he was grabbed by the little tiger and ran into the dark shadow to "enjoy" the meal.
Soon, except for the personnel on duty, the rest of the people in the convoy entered the small building. Yu Wen and several other main characters gathered in a room and continued the topic just now.
"You're not mistaken, are you? Eating mutant meat? Isn't this looking for death? Cheng Xuelin said in surprise.
"Village Chief Cheng, don't get excited, we just talked, and we didn't say that we really wanted to eat that. Besides, you can't eat it even if you want to. Yang Jian persuaded Cheng Xuelin.
"That's what I said, I don't know if it's going to be okay, are you so excited? I just have this guess that as long as we make sure we have food and drink, who will eat it. Yu Wen also appeased Cheng Xuelin.
Just now, when Yu Wen saw the "full of wine and food" little tiger walking out of the dark shadow with satisfaction, he suddenly had an idea, that is, whether the meat of the mutant beast could be eaten by humans.
Yu Wen believes that now the world, whether it is people, or all animals and plants, have all been "poisoned", and poison is an unnamed virus that turns people into zombies.
Although mutant beasts may not look like they are "poisonous" on the surface, no one knows if they are poisonous in their bodies. Besides, the survivors themselves should be regarded as virus carriers, and if they become zombies or something after eating poisonous animal meat, it is a bad thing to say.
"Yu Wen, how did you come up with the idea to eat that thing?" Yang Jian was not very repulsive to Yu Wen's thoughts, but he was also worried about what would happen if he ate the flesh of the mutant beast.
Hearing Yang Jian's question, Yu Wen told everyone about the little tiger eating the body of the big cat, and also told his own analysis.
"You must know that the unknown virus has infected all living things, whether it is those of us who survived or other surviving creatures, they have been infected by the virus.
Nowadays, apart from eating some pre-apocalyptic lap-mei, we can no longer find any fresh meat. Once people can't eat meat for a long time, I think everyone knows what the consequences are. ”
Yu Wen's words made everyone think.
It's not impossible to say that you don't eat meat, you can use milk, eggs and other things to replace some elements in meat or something. But now that the times are apocalyptic, things like milk and eggs are no longer to be found, but those dangerous mutant beasts are more likely to encounter.
Everyone is not stupid, and whoever understands this common-sense problem knows what the consequences will be. The question raised by Yu Wen seems to be insignificant in a short period of time, but after a long time, it is a matter of life and death.
"Are we really going to eat the flesh of mutant beasts in the future? In these damn last days, how can even such a trivial matter as eating become so troublesome and dangerous! Cheng Xuelin muttered to himself weakly.
Yang Jian patted Cheng Xuelin on the shoulder and sighed: "'People live with one mouth'!" If we want to live, we must first make sure that we don't go hungry. 'Eating' is really not a trivial matter! ”
