The killing process is too simple.
In Wang Qi's current state, he attacked a mantis from behind that could not turn around instantly. In just a moment, the entire abdominal carapace was split open with an axe, and the water flowed to the ground.
After confirming that he was dead, Wang Qi split his digestive tract open.
A little discovery, but not much.
The flesh of dead ghosts glows, but this luminous property is not transmitted to the internal organs.
Maybe it will be different after digestion? But that kind of sample can only be found inside the lair.
So the clues as to what the ghost was doing against the insect swarm were lost.
When he was doing these things, Li Xiang's face wrinkled, as if he didn't like this kind of occasion. After all, he is still a child, and he still doesn’t understand that almost everyone in the wasteland handles their prey by themselves, and it probably often happens that they make a mess.
At least the food wasn't contaminated which is good news.
The two found a place to hide and wait for a while to make sure that no other mantis monsters came to join in the fun. Then they called back to Valia and the other two to load the mantis monster corpse into the car.
The two people's flashlights illuminated some small fragments and snow stained red with blood. From this position, they did not dare to ask what happened.
They returned to Building 2 quietly all the way. Li Xiang and Anna went upstairs first, while Wang Qi left Varya behind to help deal with the mantis monster.
Anna, who caught the opportunity to be alone, asked while the two men were still busy talking:
"What happened there?"
You can't change the facts whether you ask or not, but if you don't ask, the image of Wang Qi and Mantis blowing up with their fists will always come to mind.
Although Li Xiang gradually became more cheerful after getting to know Wang Qi, she would not respond to anyone else.
Anna blew on the flames and fiddled with the firewood pile for a while before she could hear the sound. She turned back to face Li Xiang.
"We are teammates, I think I should know what happened."
Madman once said the word teammate to Li Xiang.
She stared at Anna and said: "The mantis monster kills people, eats them and crawls away. Then another one comes, and the madman kills it."
When she speaks herself, she is not as smooth as a translator. Of course, her translation is also a compressed translation, which is not much better.
Anna has never heard of the mantis monster, but as one of the few literate people in the wasteland, she has seen the illustrations and words of the mantis in the picture album. The combination of the mantis and the monster is actually more intuitive and easy to understand than the scorpion-ant guard. . As for the doorman who doesn't look like this every year, there's no need to talk nonsense, at least now he can be called this.
"How many people died? There was enough for two mantis monsters to eat." Following the good example, Anna also used Li Xiang's method of address.
Li Xiang despised the past and gestured: "Three mantis monsters."
three! At least five people died!
This number is calculated based on the food intake of the scorpion ant guard recognized by the deserters. A hungry guard can eat two people without being disturbed...or a total weight of about 100 kilograms. In winter, the guards Will always be hungry.
Where did the team come from? This is too miserable.
Even for the bandits of the Rathore Gang, a group of eight people can only make up four to six combatants. The rest can only do auxiliary work because they cannot get enough food. Five dead ones are equivalent to an action group. All destroyed.
Outside the small building, two men quickly dealt with the mantis monster. Wang Qi grabbed the digestive tract, which was half-hard on the surface and swung it southward. The thing drew an arc and landed behind the small building on the opposite side of the street.
Varya, who had just picked up the flashlight from the snow, opened his mouth with a look of pity on his face: "Ah! It's... still edible."
"It has eaten a ghost, and I don't want to take any chances." Wang Qipala buried the mantis in the snow.
"ghost……"
Varya had nothing to say, because their family could only send out two people at a time. Even if they set up a trap, they would not fight against the scorpion ant guard. The movable trap parts could not ensure that the guard's mobility would be released... In fact, it was normal. The people in the wilderness would not even think about hunting that thing, so they had no idea that it actually ate ghosts.
A night of silence.
After the rest, Wang Qi asked Valia and the two to go back first with the mantis monster.
He and Li Xiang still went to the south to cause trouble.
This time, he changed his approach and took Li Xiang to find a four-story building and climb up. The fourth floor was already higher than most buildings nearby, and he could see the movement in some of the surrounding lanes.
Wang Qi's idea was that if there were really so many ghosts, he might as well wait until they lured the mantis monster out before he cut the leeks.
Unfortunately, the plan failed. The only time I saw the mantis flying was at a distance of more than 300 meters in a straight line.
The three-hundred-meter straight-line distance seems not far away, but the nearby alleys are not wide. Debris, vehicles, and snow falling from roofs will cause blockages. Too many detours and the possibility of encountering bugs will also increase. If you encounter a bug and choose to kill it, it will delay the time to catch up with the scene. Directly asking the bug to call the police may attract more praying mantises.
In short, the understanding of the crawler group is not enough. If you can understand the information elements of the crawler alarm, this method may be successful.
There was another problem that Wang Qi only realized when he saw this mantis monster three hundred meters away.
What if it's not a ghost that brings out the mantis monster?
Survivors hunting nearby should target crawlers and can be ignored.
But besides ghosts there is also demon hunting.
I wasted one day, but returned to normal mode the next day, looking for the little crawler to call the police.
The progress was quite smooth and the operation ended after one night.
Return to base to dispose of the loot.
Elena's family did not take away their share in advance and distributed it after he came back.
Because they had to transfer in Building 2, the two nights and three days that Walia and his wife took part in. Although the journey in the first and last two days was less than 1.5 kilometers, Wang Qi still counted it as a full shift.
It has nothing to do with subsidy, it is simply that the risk of hunting cannot be compared with the usual processing of wood. If people are hired for the same price of meat, they should be given some preferential treatment in terms of working hours. When conditions are better, the employment fees for labor and hunting can be separated.
Therefore, the meat that Elena's family received this time was not the expected twelve kilograms, but seventeen kilograms including the extra day's sleigh rental.
There is still a lot of meat left, and refrigeration in the snow is no longer reliable. It is still partly made into jerky and partly into bacon, and only the best quality pieces are refrigerated.
At this point in time, Wang Qi and Li Xiang had twenty kilograms of dried meat and bacon, as well as unprocessed fresh meat and uneaten refrigerated meat, a total of two hundred and sixty kilograms!
It should be safe to survive the winter.
Elena's family has harvested nearly 100 kilograms of mantis meat, and with the freebies, there should be no problems this winter.
He didn't plan to continue tormenting the mantis monsters if necessary. There were still many enemies in the insect swarm, and they needed to take a breather to recover. Who could bear it if they died and could only eat vegan food next year?
Of course there is meat elsewhere, such as the animal legs that were obtained from the strong thief before, but that would most likely require hunting in the eastern mountains.
If he goes to hunt ordinary beasts in the mountains, his attributes will not be of much use. The beasts are alert and the terrain in the mountains is complex, so most of them have to rely on long-range weapons and traps to kill them.
No matter the distance or Wang Qi's knowledge reserve, the efficiency of hunting in the mountains will definitely be much lower.
And considering the latitude relationship, it is likely that only in autumn can animals with a certain amount of fat be caught. According to the current development situation of winter, it would be a good thing to have one and a half months in autumn. During this period, we have to travel dozens of kilometers. It will only be more difficult to save enough meat for the whole winter at this time.
Therefore, there is still a need for the insect swarm to exist. Wang Qi is even considering whether to help the insect swarm kill the demon hunters that harass them.
But before making a decision, he had to go to Elena to hear the story.
