【Active Substance Extractor Instruction Manual:】

[1. Active substances are the main raw materials for the synthesis of clones, including but not limited to minerals required for the composition of the human body, 20 common amino acids and 2 rare amino acids, etc.] 】

[2. The raw materials used in the active substance extractor are animal carcasses, among which the mammalian primates of the phylum chordates are the best, with an extraction efficiency of up to 90%, followed by the non-primates, and the invertebrate phylum has the lowest extraction efficiency, less than 10%. 】

[3. The extraction efficiency is also related to the degree of decay. 】

As the task of recruiting players is completed, the rewards are credited along with the instructions.

Inside Vault 404.

Chu Guang looked at the manual projected by the system on his retina while looking at the iron lump that looked like a coffin next to the conveyor belt.

According to the instructions, this thing is a device used to produce "synthetic human cloning materials", that is, "active materials".

In simple terms, the function is similar to corpse recovery?

However, looking at the description on this manual, it seems that the corpse of the xenomorph is also within the scope of recovery.

After a general understanding of the usage of this thing, Chu Guang used the board car he picked up from the outside, dragged it to the elevator, and followed the elevator back to the surface.

He didn't want to get the body into the shelter.

As for electricity.

There will always be a way.

The elevator slowly rises and stops to open the door.

Just as he was dragging the cart out of the elevator, Xiao Qi's voice came from upstairs almost at the same time.

"Master!"

"What's wrong?"

"There seems to be a situation on your player's side...... A big black bird is attacking them! On the north side of the sanatorium! ”

Big black bird?

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he immediately dropped the cart in his hand and rushed in the direction outside the sanatorium.

……

"? Brother Ye's cow pie. ”

"That forward roll dodge was something!"

"Fuck off, I'm so scared! Don't stand stupid, come and help me! ”

The woods to the north of the sanatorium.

A black bird stands on a ten-meter-tall tree branch, its sharp gaze locked on the players on the ground.

The bird's legs are slightly bent, and the kite-sized wings are folded back, ready to eject at any moment.

After hearing the movement on Yeten's side, the other three players immediately put down their work and rushed over with axes.

It may be that seeing the overwhelming number of people on the ground, the blackbird did not immediately launch a second round of diving, but stopped in a place out of everyone's reach and waited for the opportunity to move.

Tempest leaned down, picked up a black feather on the ground, and stared twice.

"Kind of like a crow."

"Crows are so big?!" Glancing at the scratches on the wood next to him, Night Eleven said with a sigh of relief as he stepped back.

"This thing must be a xenomorph...... Mutants produced by gamma rays or other things, I have seen the settings on the official website. Fang Chang stared at him cautiously, not daring to relax for a moment.

Night Ten: "The official website has a setting?!" Isn't it just a reservation page? ”

Tempest: "That was a few days ago...... Yesterday the official website was updated with new features, haven't you even read it? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what should we do now? Is it just like that? Night Ten nervously took another step back.

Now the nearest thing to the bird is the wind.

Four people and one bird are in a stalemate.

At this moment, a "whoosh" sound swept across the heads of the four people and smashed straight towards the big bird.

"Phew!"

Although the stone did not hit, it startled the great bird, and it flew up and jumped onto another branch.

When it flapped its wings and finally stabilized itself on the branches, it saw the man on the ground pick up another stone and throw it at him.

Big Bird was completely furious.

It's the first time it's seen a guy who dares to be so arrogant to himself in this territory that belongs to it.

The bent legs violently exerted force, and it jumped into the air from the branch like a loaded cannonball, rushing headlong towards Chu Guang.

The sharp claws reach forward like an open hook lock.

However, a beast is a beast after all, and even if it grows another head, it will not be able to read the hint of sarcasm that curls up at the corner of its mouth.

Throwing away the stones in his hand, Chu Guang skillfully grabbed the steel pipe inserted in the ground and stabbed the sharp end fiercely.

Between the lightning and the fire, there is no time to dodge.

Although the big bird flapped its wings in surprise the moment it saw Chu Guang picking up the guy he had never seen, it was basically impossible to get away from it under the action of inertia.

The hose was like a javelin, stabbing it into its chest.

"Bah——!"

A terrible cry echoed through the woods.

Bloody feathers fluttered in all directions.

Looking at the big bird struggling to fly away, Chu Guang stepped forward silently and picked up the bloodied water pipe from the ground.

"This is not a crow."

"Its scientific name is Hayabusa...... About two hundred years ago. ”

The four players stared at him dumbfounded, stunned by the fluid maneuvers.

it!

It's so strong!!

Little did they know, however, that for the vast majority of survivors who could walk alone in the wasteland, this level of skill was nothing more than basic exercise.

In the past five months, Chu Guang has not learned anything else, but he has practiced the skill of throwing javelins to his home, and he can point to where to pierce within ten meters.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a chance to stand here and pretend.

"Falcon?! Is it that big? Tempest exclaimed, which upended his perception of birds.

The abbot swallowed.

"Because of gamma rays?"

"It's not just gamma rays. Viruses, bacteria, genetic weapons...... A variety of factors, together have contributed to what we see today. Of course, xenogeneity is only one of the threats we face. In some cases, people are more dangerous than they are. ”

Chu Guang glanced up at the pine tree in front of the four players, and continued.

"That falcon just now should have made a nest in this tree, no wonder so many of you didn't leave."

Generally speaking, birds are ground creatures that rarely take the initiative to provoke larger than themselves, and their diets are mainly mutated cockroaches, rats, and squirrels.

Although the beast flew away, it did not fly far, and it was estimated that it was waiting to die in a nearby tree.

This kind of pointed water pipe, although the penetration is not strong, but the hollow inside is a natural bloodletting groove, as long as there is a hole in the body, it is almost certain to die.

Not to mention birds, even if people are next to each other, it is difficult to stitch up the wound.

Yashi bowed his head in shame.

"Sorry...... I patronized the chopping of wood and didn't notice. ”

"Don't be sorry," Chu Guang glanced up, "Bird eggs are a good thing. ”

After a while, there will be a blessing.

……

Chu Guang's judgment was quickly verified.

Under a tree with a crooked neck, he found the dead blackbird.

After bleeding it with a dagger and stripping it of its feathers, Chu Guang threw it into an iron pot, rested it on the stove made of bricks, stuffed dry branches and dead leaves under the stove, and lit it with the matches he had bought before.

Smoke rises.

Before the water boiled, Chu Guang took the blanched bird out of the pot, skewered it with steel bars, and roasted it directly on the fire.

There were also a few eggs that were baked together.

No salt, no spices.

But even then, it's much better than boiled half-green barley mush.

"This thing...... Can you eat it? ”

Looking at the "mutant" on the iron frame, Ye Shi instinctively felt repulsed, but despite the constant teasing of the aroma, he still swallowed his saliva uncontrollably.

You can actually eat in the game!

This is definitely an unexpected surprise for foodies.

And this made him instantly feel that this morning's hard work was worth it.

"You can eat it when it's cooked, and I'll tell you what you can't eat." Chu Guang slowly turned the grill to fully heat up every side of the food.

There aren't many opportunities to eat game in the wasteland.

Even if you can occasionally catch edible game like this, it will quickly spoil due to lack of preservation means.

Here, salt is a more scarce commodity than electricity.

Especially for survivors living in inland cities like Qingquan, it is not practical to use large amounts of salt to preserve food.

As for things like refrigerators, I heard that there was one in the town chief's castle, but Chu Guang had only heard of it, and had not really seen it.

Of course, the survivors are not completely out of the question.

For example, Mr. Brown's farm, the survivor's stronghold next door, produces a tobacco leaf rich in aromatic compounds such as tar and aldehydes and ketones that can extend the shelf life of food for several months, even when smoked without salt.

"Administrator, how much wood do we need?"

Waiting for the food to be cooked is an ordeal.

In order to divert attention from the food, Fang Chang took the initiative to open the conversation.

Hearing this question, Chu Guang replied casually.

"Cut as much as you want."

The players looked at each other with little energy.

Chu Guang didn't pay much attention to it at first, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

They are "players", i.e. "outsiders".

Unlike themselves who have already crossed over to this place, they can leave here at any time, and there is no urgency to survive.

Even if you tell them the importance of stockpiling timber, they don't really understand what that means.

The player's identity determines that they think differently than they do. Even if they don't mind the liver, it's hard to keep giving for something that doesn't pay off.

There are tasks.

Naturally, there must be a reward.

"Let me think about ......"

Chu Guang, who touched his chin, fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, an idea came to him.

"At four o'clock in the afternoon, let's count today's results."

"An arm-thick tree, every meter long, 1 point contributes. Thigh-thick trees, 2 contributions for every meter—"

However, what Chu Guang didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, the four salted fish holding the bowl stood up with a bang.

"Administrator, I suddenly feel not very hungry."

"Me too."

"Anyway, it's going to be a while before the meal starts, and I'll go pick up two more trees!"

"I suddenly want to cut something!"

Chu Guang: "......?" ”

He hasn't said what he can do with it......
