The mantis monster at the bottom of the stairs was still twitching and not dead. Wang Qi sat on the platform where the stairs reached the second floor, treating his wounds.
In fact, there is nothing to do. I can only tear off the sleeves of my inner jacket and bandage them with ice shards made of blood, and put on the leaky jacket and call it a day.
He took out a small plastic medicine box from his pocket. It was not medicine, but a small amount of sugar, less than fifty grams. He poured it into his mouth and put it in with the water bottle he brought with him.
Get ready to start fighting. The longer the delay, the more variables there will be.
As for escaping, he had already put down one of them. At this time, he would have nothing to lose if he ran away with a bunch of meat. That was enough rations for more than a month without trading.
He could probably understand why the mantis monster outside didn't come in and fight him together. When he saw the mummy monster being surrounded by four mantis monsters before, he didn't see the two mantis monsters rushing into the room together to fight.
The mantis monster is too big to be used indoors. If two of them come together, they might chop off the head of their own insect.
He took a look at the guy under the stairs, walked around, and chopped the back of his neck with an ax from behind, so that it wouldn't come back and plunge him into death.
Knock on the stair railing.
The one next to it doesn't come down.
After a slight hesitation, Wang Qi took the initiative, looked around and walked out of the main entrance.
Even though the mantis has wings, its falling speed is not much faster than the speed given by gravity.
After Wang Qi went out, he added intuition. It was already ten o'clock. The mantis monster wanted to take it by surprise, but he was locked in the air first.
...activate the secret skill and return indoors.
The mantis monster outside fell to the ground and looked into the room.
Still the same, he passed with another javelin.
It was so desperate that the javelin, which had no accuracy at all, actually poked it in the eye.
"Crack!" The mantis monster made a high-frequency sound... turned around and flew away! ! !
Now it was Wang Qi's turn to be confused.
Have you called for reinforcements?
Looking at the body of the mantis monster that was still moving slightly, he realized that the thing's vitality was really tenacious and it would be too risky to prevent it from leaking juice. Wang Qi said "fuck" and went straight out to join Li Xiang.
He hadn't even reached Li Xiang's position when he heard the faint sound of a mantis flapping its wings.
At least two.
The location of the rendezvous point was considered to be pursued by the mantis, so that it would not be seen by the battle site or the rooftops of nearby buildings. Wang Qi temporarily hid beside the building for a while. When the sound of flapping wings disappeared, he was still far away, so there was no doubt that he would land at the battle point. .
It also allowed Wang Qi to find an excuse for himself and give up completely.
She joined Li Xiang empty-handed. At least she still had four legs, so at least she didn't lose any money.
...Does being injured count as blood?
Black and white vision couldn't tell the difference between blood and ice. She didn't notice anything unusual, but she always felt strange and cast her eyes on his shoulder from time to time.
Wang Qi made a gesture, and the two of them continued to wait in the room.
Because the mantis monster cannot fly after eating and can walk away, it is difficult to determine the situation. After waiting for a full hour, maybe longer, Wang Qi nodded to Li Xiang, who was about to fall asleep, and gestured to her to stay behind while he took action again.
This time I moved more cautiously, slowing down my crawling movements and trying to suppress the sound of the snow being squeezed. It took me 20 minutes to get over 100 meters.
After discovering that the mantis was moving on the ground leaving traces heading south, I felt relieved and sped up to check the situation.
The body of the mantis monster was indeed recovered, but it was not eaten completely. I don't know if it was because the stomach couldn't hold it or if it was intended to be rewarded to the little reptiles.
There were still a few small legs left at the scene that were used to hold girls in their arms and kill them. Most of the supporting legs were left. Only half of the two reptiles whose legs were pulled out were bitten off.
...It's a little uncomfortable, but the mantis legs are gone, so let's forget about the remaining half of the reptile.
Turning to the next door, the body of the reptile that called the police was still there. Wang Qi mainly came to find it.
The later one should not be able to accurately determine the exact location of the alarm. It smelled so big in the main battlefield and was so big. In another building, the reptile was still blocked by wooden boards and a half-collapsed cabinet. It is very likely that it survived.
I lost an entire mantis monster, so I had to recover some of it and drag it away.
Meeting up with Li Xiang again, the two of them took the sled all the way back to Building 2 without any further accidents.
When he was lighting a fire, Li Xiang saw that the clothes on his clothes were not ice, but ice condensed from blood, and his face was pale.
Seeing her anxious expression, Wang Qi took off his coat and showed her the back of his right shoulder: "Wash it for me."
He said, taking the thermos kettle and handing it over.
Li Xiang saw that he seemed to be speaking calmly and his expression was more stable. He stood up, took the kettle, and helped him unbandage and clean the wound.
In fact, it is of no great use. I can only say that the probability of suppuration is lower than if it is not treated.
The reason why he can still maintain his unhurried attitude is because of a very profound memory from his childhood in his previous life.
At that time, he was sitting on the back seat of his mother's bicycle. Without checking for a moment, he was cut several times on his thigh by the glass carried by a three-wheeled bicycle coming towards him.
He could see clearly that the opening was six to seven millimeters wide and less than ten centimeters long. When it was first opened, it was full of white flesh, and it didn't hurt. After a while, it started to bleed out, covering the entire leg. Only then did he remember to remind his mother. She was so anxious that she rushed to the hospital and received more than twenty stitches. She also called her father, who was still at work, to go to the hospital.
In fact, it hurt a little when I shaved it, but it didn’t hurt much after the injury!
It’s true that human pain nerves are not so densely distributed in some parts that are not easily injured. If it is really injured, a piece of the dermis is missing. Instead, it just looks scary. Before inflammation, the patient does not feel particularly painful, and the pain increases with blood loss. The degree will also decrease.
Of course, we cannot lose our respect for trauma because of this, or big problems will arise.
Wang Qi lacks fear of being injured and has no psychological bonus, so his pain will be weaker.
He has thought about the consequences of inflammation. In order to avoid the breeding of parasites, reptiles will often clean themselves. They will focus on the predatory legs close to the mouthparts, which should not cause serious inflammation. Even if it becomes enlarged and becomes untidy and actually induces inflammation, it can still increase its attributes, and inflammation will not kill people instantly.
In short, it's not a big problem. It's not that easy to die.
After washing the wound, Li Xiang wanted to wipe it with a cloth, but he stopped him.
Use the small pot you brought to get some snow and boil water from the window, pull out the cloth in Li Xiang's hand and throw it into the pot. If this thing is not cooked, it will add a BUFF to the original inflammation.
In contrast, the bandages on his own clothes and sleeves are at least mostly contaminated with bacteria from his own body, which belong to his own bacteria. Short-term contact will not be more problematic than cloth from unknown origins... Well, this is what he guessed, There is no basis for it. You can't think of dying as soon as you get injured. Placebo is also medicine.
Li Xiang looked at the cloth in the pot and was puzzled. His father had never boiled the cloth in water when he was injured. Was it for eating?
Wang Qi saw her doubts, but he didn't know how to explain inflammation to an illiterate person whose semantic reading level was less than 10%, so he could only pretend not to see it.
Speaking of illiteracy, Li Xiang still has to really study.
But not now, let’s wait until the living situation improves before planning.
While the water was boiling, Li Xiang wandered over to him again and saw that the wound was bleeding again, so he took another piece of cloth to wipe it on!
He grabbed her hand again, snatched the cloth and threw it into the pot.
She bulged her eyes and seemed to understand something again. She picked up the thermos and helped him wash his wound. Wang Qi did not stop him.
After being injured, the risk of fighting a lively mantis monster will increase. You will go home directly the next day.
This time, two reptiles and four extra jumping legs can make up 20 kilograms of meat, two livers, and less than two kilograms of fat. Plus Xiaoqiang’s growth and transformation, including Li Xiang’s training, growth, his daily consumption and After recovering from the injury, he chopped firewood, which was enough for ten days.
The deal... Let's look at it again. If the old lady is really short of food, she still needs to help. It's always him and Li Xiang. It feels like there are still too few people and many things can't be taken care of.
Just as they were planning, Wang Qi, who had just arrived home and thought he was well-educated, got a little angry.
Several Xiaoqiang's were stolen from the underground garage!
