Where are we going next?
Zhao Sida turned around and asked. She and Elizabeth were walking side by side on a path in the abandoned city, and the latter was jumping along with the springtail they had just hunted. The insect's head has been cut off, and the headless insect body weighing dozens of kilograms seems as light as a feather in the blue-haired girl's hands. The insect corpse follows her jumping steps and briefly rises into the air again and again, just in the overgrown weeds. A long drag mark was left on the trail.
Hum~ Hum hum~ We are going to the settlement~ Elizabeth hummed and replied happily. Although there are many protein-rich bugs in the wild, there are also many dangerous creatures. It doesn’t matter if we encounter them, but it will be dangerous if you encounter them~
Have you found the settlement yet? Zhao Sida glanced at the springtail she was dragging, and immediately asked: Do you mean, besides this kind of springtail, are there any other dangerous creatures here?
Elizabeth tilted her head in confusion and said with a slightly distressed look: Yes, the deeper places are infected by the very troublesome Cordyceps sinensis. Sometimes the wind will blow those fungal spores out. If you are infected by those fungal spores, they will become parasitic. It will be very troublesome. Grass will grow in the bones and flesh, and the body will behave beyond its control. Junqu Pavilion
Then there are bugs that are even more powerful than these springtails. They like to appear in groups.
She paused at this point, licked her lips involuntarily with her tongue, sucked the saliva and added: But they are all delicious! It's just a little difficult to catch.
Elizabeth's words reminded Zhao Sida of the reaction of those springtails not long ago - the fear that was deeply rooted in her instincts as if she had seen a natural enemy, which made the doll girl couldn't help but secretly murmur in her heart: Did this guy kill him? How many bugs would it take for these springtails to be so scared?
Um? In fact, the number is not much. The blue-haired girl seemed to have heard Zhao Sida's thoughts. Every time she went hunting, she only caught a dozen or twenty. As long as the number did not exceed the above number, the lone springtails were easy to deal with. Moreover, their meat is firm and has high nutritional value when eaten. You can see that the firm hind leg meat can be chopped into fillings, and the sickle-like hooks can suck out the meat inside like crab legs when grilled. , and these ribs
While listening to the muttering, the doll girl called up the footage from the database when she was attacked before and counted: Well, the number of springtails that attacked her at that time could not exceed thirteen. It was indeed what she said. scope of processing.
Perhaps remembering the previous experience of the puppet girl being besieged, Elizabeth, who was talking about a hundred ways to cook springtails, quickly reminded her: Oh, yes, but don’t imitate me and challenge these bugs. Generally, the skin of these bugs is very thick, and the layers of keratinized skin are like layered cakes. Their skin cannot be broken by sharp weapons or guns. Even if you use a flamethrower, you will need to continue burning to burn them to death. So the quickest solution is to strangle its cervical vertebrae like I did, or simply use other methods to break the spinal cord.
Of course, if you are not sure, it is best to stay away from them, because once they find prey, they will attack without fear of death, and they will also quickly flutter their wings to call friends and summon all nearby insects. I initially This is what happened when I encountered these springtails. There were only one or two springtails, but after I started fighting, I felt like I was fighting more and more. When I finally finished fighting, I felt like, wow! There were more than thirty springtails lying on the ground.
Then that day was the fullest I had ever eaten.
These instructions made Zhao Sida feel an indescribable sense of violation in her heart.
Based on their interactions over the past six months, the carefree character of Elizabeth that she was familiar with would not be so meticulous, let alone caring about others. If it weren’t for this silly face, the extraordinary fluctuations in her body, and the fact that she would start eating whenever she mentioned it. The drooling conditions made her wonder if Elizabeth had been taken away by something.
Is this guy's split personality not healed yet? Or is it getting worse again?
The doll girl immediately thought of the mental problems she had left after a previous incident.
But Elizabeth didn't pay attention to what she was muttering in her heart. After chatting for a long time, she brought the topic back again.
Then there’s the Skeleton Man~ The Skeleton Man is different from the bugs that are everywhere
In this way, some of them stay on the edge of the Western Desert, and some of them stay in the sunken city. They rarely wander here, but you have to remember that the Skeleton People are very powerful. They have very sharp ears and noses. He is also very smart and his eyes are very sharp, and he can spot others outside his field of vision. So if you spot the Skeleton Man within your field of vision, then he must have discovered you. The way to escape from the Skeleton Man is to run, run non-stop, and run as far away as possible
Skeleton man? Hearing this weird name, Zhao Sida asked: Is this skeleton man an undead driven by the Necromancer?
Hey? Elizabeth protracted her words and looked at her with a strange expression: Don't you know about Skeleton Man? It's that humanoid monster that's about the same size as me, but it's all black and has no flesh, and its teeth are really sharp when you bite it.
As the blue-haired girl spoke, she made gestures with her hands, but her description was so abstract that Zhao Sida, who lacked imagination, modeled it in her head for a long time, and in the end she could only think of an image of a skeleton soldier.
Perhaps it was Elizabeth's deterrence as the dominant tyrant in the abandoned city. The two of them were not attacked by springtails along the way, and there were even many sporadic springtails and wild animals that were scared away by her. As the height of the grass gradually decreased, the number of towering trees around them gradually decreased, and soon the two of them walked out of the overgrown city streets and arrived at a place on the other side of the city where the vegetation was relatively less dense.
Compared with that side, there is no dense grass half a man deep here, nor are there any towering trees growing through the concrete. Although the lawn still covers the original streets of the town, there are obvious traces of human activity nearby. Vines and ivy have been specially cleaned up, and rags and barbed wire are piled up outside the cement building to block the wall. A trampled path extends from the lawn to the cement buildings not far away, and there is also a man-made excavation. pond.
The sun was shining brightly, and the fragrance of exotic flowers and plants floated in the air, flying into the distance on the wind. Butterflies fluttered among the six-colored flowers, and the pond was filled with sparkling waves. Zhao Sida, who was sharp-eyed, also saw many fish in the small pond. Moving in the middle.
Hi~ Hello~ Would you like some springtail meat? When passing by the pond, Elizabeth greeted the fish in the pond enthusiastically. As a result, a very disdainful look flashed in the fish's eyes, and her tail flicked, making her face wet.
Zhao Sida:
This kind of thing happens all the time~ Elizabeth didn't care at all. She stretched out her hand to wipe the water from her face. The crystal clear water droplets fell into her collar along her fair skin, and a few strands of wet blue hair Sticking to her cheeks, she showed her usual bright smile. Not only did the water on her face not make her look embarrassed, but she looked even brighter and more charming under the sunlight.
It seemed that Zhao Sida felt an unwarranted affection for her.
The two of them walked forward along the dirt path that had been trampled by others for a while before reaching the retaining wall. Elizabeth also stopped moving forward.
Don't you want to go in?
Just wait a moment. Elizabeth put down the headless springtail in her hand, took a deep breath, then made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted: Village chief! I'm back!
village head! Open the door!
You have the ability to build a settlement, you have the ability to open the door!
After a short period of silence, Zhao Sida heard a loud and panicked noise coming from behind the walls.
The short-sightedness is back!
What! ? That woman is back! ? All staff are on alert!
Hurry up! Evacuate children immediately and let them return home first!
Everyone else, get back indoors as close as possible! Don't have any contact with her!
Who is on duty today!
village head! My psychic shielding alloy ring is missing!
You can lose such an important ring. I think Erzhu, just wait to die.
Help! I don’t want to be that Elizabeth!
Hearing the hustle and bustle coming from the settlement, the doll girl turned her head stiffly and looked at Elizabeth: What outrageous thing did you do in the settlement?
Ahahaha~ She shows
Ran also heard the sound coming from inside, rubbed the back of his head and laughed awkwardly. Actually, I don’t know why they are so afraid of me.
After the commotion lasted for a while, Zhao Sida saw that as if some mechanism had been activated, with a heavy sound of moving, one of the walls made of broken boards and barbed wire slowly opened, and then a group of people were fully armed and nervous. He walked out of it anxiously.
The leader was an old man in his seventies. He was stooped and leaning on a crutch that was taller than him. Most of the people behind him were young people in their twenties and thirties. They were holding rifles, crossbows, and even a manure fork, and everyone had a nervous expression on their face.
village head! Two pillars! And everyone! Elizabeth waved excitedly to the old man, Ouch! I miss you so much!
Her actions startled everyone behind the village chief. Several of them were so frightened that they even picked up their guns and almost pulled the trigger.
Don't move! Put down your guns too! After all, the village chief had seen the world. He tapped his cane hard to calm down both parties. Ms. Elizabeth, what are you doing in our village today?
I'm coming to you to exchange some things! Elizabeth raised the headless springtail in her hand and pointed to Zhao Sida beside her. I would like to help you bring back a surviving little girl!
Zhao Sida turned to look at her in astonishment, the flashing data stream in her eyes gradually converging into a string of question marks:? ? ? ? ?
The village chief opened his mouth as if he was ready to refuse, but his eyes fell on the headless springtail in Elizabeth's hand. As if he thought of something, he swallowed the words and changed his words.
Okay, come in and talk.
