Chapter Twenty-Three: One Million Bites of Crab Meat (2-in-1)
Mystery Zone 16 is quiet.
Zhang Ming lay on his stomach in the grass and waited patiently.
He pretended to be an experienced veteran hunter who was doing a lot of intracranial training, but the complex mental activity betrayed his ideas.
"A crab is alone, good chance! Watch me seduce it! β
[Spirit +1+1]
A small shell that exuded a sweet smell was thrown out.
However, the stupid crab didn't notice it, just stood in place, gnawing on the aquatic plants with relish.
After waiting anxiously for five minutes, Zhang Ming's heart was cold, "That crab actually ran back!" β
[Spirit-1-1-1-1]
It's back!
[Spirit +1]
It's running back again!
[Spirit-1-1-1-1-1]
Zhang Ming always felt that the crab was deliberately playing with himself. The process of mental value beating, like a roller coaster, ups and downs, makes you impetuous.
"Don't look at the stats panel!"
"As long as I don't look at it, it's like this attribute doesn't exist at all."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he picked up the small shell again and threw it out.
"Pak~"
A medium-sized crab, after hearing the sound of shells falling into the water, moved its body, and its two black eyes circled.
It spits bubbles and pretends that nothing has happened, and it doesn't notice anything. Taking advantage of his companion's inattention, he quietly stretched out his pliers to clip off the shell.
There was a soft "click".
The crab's two black eyes moved back and forth, smiling with joy, and hurriedly stuffed the shell meat into its mouth.
Zhang Ming was overjoyed: "You like to eat alone, right?" β
"I just like the way you eat alone."
It saw a small shell again, jumping out of the grass.
He stretched out his pliers again, trying to clip the shell off!
But at the last moment, the shell actually jumped back a small step!
The crab tried to clamp it again, and the shell moved one more step.
And so, the crab went farther and farther into the grass.
Immediately after, its dark eyes widened, so big, such a big lump of fat, exuding an alluring aroma that was difficult to refuse!
Break off! Generation!
Beauty! Taste!
Its "beep" sound grew louder and louder, and it frantically stretched out its pliers, trying to clamp the piece of fat.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Under the clear blue sky, on the golden sand.
One person and one crab, one in front of the other, moving at high speed, raising a lot of dust along the road.
People are ordinary people.
The crab is a crab of demons and monsters.
As for the onlookers on the earth, they are even more in different moods, and there are all kinds of varieties, some are worried about it, and some are secretly gloating.
"Ahh He's going to get caught! β
"This guy is about to be caught by the crab, and he will have the most tragic moment of his life."
"I called a referendum, do you think this gentleman in District 16 will die in this hunt? YES/NO?β
There were literally a lot of people rushing over to vote, as if the so-called democratic vote could really decide something.
"Hello friends, I am Simonsen, a hunting expert and a master of survival in the wild, and I have hunted elephants, rhinos, lions, hyenas and other prey in the East African savannah."
"Today, I will bring you a live broadcast of the mirage. The most important question is, will the buddies in District 16 get caught? β
This anchor named Simonson has become a pig on the traffic outlet, fueled by the Internet, with more than 100,000 viewers in just a few minutes, and there is a trend of skyrocketing.
"I don't think so," he said, "you see, crabs crawl sideways, and when they make a surprise attack from a high-speed crawl, they have to orient themselves to get their huge pincers to grip things. This time difference is enough for this buddy in District 16 to escape. β
"I even think he's pretty good at it."
"He's tempting the crab through his body into his preset trap."
Someone on the barrage asked, "Simonson, what is his mortality rate!" When do you think he died? The democratic vote is that he will be caught by crabs! β
Simonson sneered: "Dude, the world is material, democratic voting is useless, no matter what deep hatred you have with him, there is no point in swearing." The fact that he dared to hunt crabs shows that he has faith. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Zhang Ming, indeed hanging the appetite of the crab, deliberately kept a certain distance, neither ran too far, nor dared to get too close.
But it's easy to play, in fact, it can't be said.
"The power bursts, the maximum strength increase can reach 5000%, and if you are pinched by the pliers, everything will be over!"
Running quickly to the edge of the boulder, Zhang Ming said "hey", and the muscles of his legs suddenly exerted force, and he jumped high and upward.
This time, he jumped directly more than four meters high and jumped onto the boulder.
"Come on, come up!"
Zhang Ming kept waving his hand to provoke, and even beat it with a spear, but his expression was highly nervous.
He wasn't sure if the other crabs would follow.
Once besieged by the enemy's army, the gate of Yellow Springs is opening to him.
"It has to be done quickly!"
β¦β¦
And the crab, which was walking sideways, seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw the fat meat screaming loudly on the stone.
It may not be able to figure out why the other party can be so confident, even if he is so ordinary.
The voice stopped for a second.
But without much thought, the crab only felt that the other party was just food that would resist slightly, and shouted again "beep" and climbed quickly along the rock.
When the crab was halfway up, it saw a huge coconut falling from the sky.
Suddenly... Confused!
In a panic, it tried to use its pliers to pinch off the coconut, but the weight of the coconut had already been weighed up.
The weight of more than 300 catties was pressed, and the crab, which had climbed halfway, could not support it, and with a loud cry of "Bilibili", it rolled to the ground with the coconut.
β¦β¦
"The plan worked!"
Zhang Ming's spirit was highly concentrated, and he didn't know what the other party's state was, so he immediately pushed the second coconut down and smashed it hard.
300 pounds of weight, free fall!
Another loud "thump" was heard, and this time, the huge coconut hit the bull's-eye, and the sound of the hard shell collapsing was extremely dull.
Suddenly, there was a shrill cry from below, "Beep-"!
This sound seemed so different, sharp and slender, like a whistle screaming, one after another, making goosebumps pop up all over Zhang Ming's body.
"What's going on...... Is it calling for its companions? It must be calling out to its companions! β
"I only need one leg of yours, and you want my life?"
Zhang Ming's forehead was sweating, his heart was beating wildly, he heard the crab screaming louder and louder, his eyes showed a fierce light, he jumped down directly from the stone, lifted the huge coconut and smashed it on its tumbling belly!
Burst of power!
The blood vessels on the arms protruded one by one, bursting with great force.
The large coconut was lifted high and smashed down.
"Smack!"
Burst of power!
"Smack!"
Whenever a crab emits a high-pitched call, it is greeted by a giant coconut!
In this way, five or six times in a row.
Many "power explosions" made Zhang Ming's muscles sore, and in just a dozen seconds, sweat soaked his clothes.
The scene just now did not make him feel frightened, but a fury from the ancient era filled his chest, which was a gene implanted deep in the human bloodline.
Zhang Ming couldn't help but recall that in the ancient times of slash-and-burn farming, the ancestors of mankind fought their way out of the primitive world with their powerful combat power, unlike modern people who lie in bed and drink Coke as a fat house, as if they have forgotten the title of "terrifying Homo erectus".
[Spirit: 32/32] (You have just gone berserk, and the surging adrenaline has made you forget your fear and pain!) οΌ
Zhang Ming: ......
The crab lay on the ground on its eight legs, its belly sunken into several pieces, and its screams were gone.
Belch...... Fart?
Zhang Ming was surprised and happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to be careless, and poked a few times with the spear he carried with him.
"I originally only wanted one leg of yours, who told you to call a companion!"
With a cheer, he finally defeated the first creature in the Novice Village!
Hundreds of pounds of oversized crabs, that crab roe crab paste, must be very delicious!
"So much meat...... Zhang Ming happily rubbed his sore arm, "I don't know how many attribute points can I bring?" β
"There is no refrigerator and no cold storage, how to preserve crab meat is a big problem."
Although there are so many crabs in this place...... But shame on waste, shame on waste!
"Hurry up!"
Holding the dead big crab, Zhang Ming ran away with a smoke.
The look on his face is simply smiling.
It's developed!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
That night, it took a whole day to process this big crab.
The pieces of crystal clear crab meat were spread out thickly, and drops of juice as bright as stars were wrapped in the meat, and a little milky white fat was boiled out. As the charcoal fire continues to grill, the crab fibers are broken one by one, mixed with the white delicious mist, which is mouth-watering.
"I won't boil it today, just charcoal grill."
Zhang Ming enjoyed crab roe and crab meat with gusto, added a little instant noodle condiment, indulged in it, and couldn't extricate himself.
"It's really delicious!"
Yesterday was because I was so hungry that as long as I could eat something, I would feel delicious.
But today he was not hungry, so he dared to be sure that the crab meat in his hand was definitely a real delicacy. The large pieces of crab meat are not peeled, and after they are cooked, the muscle fibers have a rough feeling, and the wild flavor lingers on the tip of the tongue for a long time.
Zhang Ming's eyes lit up when he ate: "The legendary dragon liver and phoenix marrow are nothing more than that." If it is placed on the earth, it will definitely be able to sell for a sky-high price. β
"One million for this bite, one million for the next!"
The crab roe and crab meat enter the stomach, bringing a scorching warm current to the body and forming new attribute points.
However, it did not bring new capabilities.
Come to think of it, there is only one "burst of power" on the crab's body, and the effect is almost the same no matter which part you eat.
"Listeners and friends, good evening, I am announcer Li Xianxian, and I will bring you first-hand news today."
"The world earthquake disaster continues, logistics is disrupted, and the global industrial chain crisis will become a definite and foregone conclusion."
"Due to the collapse of the economy, the geopolitical contradictions in various regions continue to expand."
"The defense ministers of the African ** countries said that according to the presidential order, the army has entered the highest level of combat readiness."
"Dams in East Africa have broken and tens of millions of people have been affected by flooding. Experts believe that the drought that will be followed by the flood will affect next year's food output and bring about a huge famine. β
Life......
Zhang Ming was silent.
He couldn't imagine what was going on in the world out there.
In his impression, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and although there are occasional contradictions and conflicts, peaceful development is still the main theme.
However, in just a few days, the world has changed.
Plague, war, famine, death, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have re-entered the world and wreaked havoc on the world with an unrivaled attitude. The power of nature is terrifying.
The announcer Li Xianxian's voice was also a little hoarse, and he could hear that he was exhausted.
Next news.
According to the report of the Ministry of Finance of Daxia in the draft government budget, a total of 50 trillion development funds will be invested in the future for the repair of earthquake damage and the construction of super-large underground shelters, so as to fully protect the property and life safety of the people. Resistance to magnitude 8 earthquakes will become the standard for buildings in the future, and 12 mega evacuation cities will be built in the western highlands. β
Zhang Ming ate the crab roe a little dazedly, feeling that his nostrils were hot, and he almost had a nosebleed: "Super large evacuation city? β
In the next news, not only the Great Xia Kingdom, but also the governments of other major countries have invariably built super-large shelters.
The so-called "citrus sentences come to the nest, and the wind comes from the ground".
The human hierarchy must have learned some important information to make the same choice.
Either that...... Human war, it is really possible!
Zhang Ming rubbed his temples and was depressed in his heart.
War, the best way to divert contradictions!
Why did World War I and World War II break out? The root cause is economic problems, and the contradictions within the human race have intensified.
Now that there is a world-class catastrophe, the global economy is paralyzed, the pie is shrinking rapidly, and there is not even enough habitable territory, so that the possibility of world war is possible.
Especially in countries like Fuso, which are so damaged by volcanoes that they can't survive, what if they don't have outside help?
Of course, it's a war, a land grab! Can't beat a big country, can't you beat a small country?
But don't think that humanity will work together to overcome difficulties.
In the midst of a disaster, the only thing that humanity will not do is to unite as one.
Although Zhang Ming is an outsider, even if humans knock out the dog's brain, it has nothing to do with him.
Deep down, I can't calm down.
"Heyβdid you forget something?"
"I'm far away, do I have to send a ship to save me?"
Zhang Ming wanted to cry without tears, and sighed to the sky: "Don't be in a hurry to fight, save me back first!" I have a young and old age, and I don't have a wife or daughter, and I want to return to the human world. β
This is the end of the international news broadcast, and no one pays any attention to him.
Next up is the usual wilderness survival common sense.
"Listeners, today I would like to introduce to you how to store food for a long time."
"As we all know, a person can live for more than a week without food, but the problems such as decreased immunity and weakness of limbs will seriously affect survival in the wild."
"In the tropics, the rainy and dry seasons affect the source of food. Therefore, storing enough food will effectively reduce the risk and improve the chance of survival. β
"Here are three ways to preserve food for a long time: drying, pickling, and smoking."
