"Sister!" Seeing Shen Qing coming, Shen Zhian felt much relieved instantly.
As soon as he relaxed, the squirrel on the ground struggled to bite him again.
Shen Qing fired another slingshot, and this time the squirrel collapsed on the ground unable to get up.
Shen Qing quickly ran downstairs, pulled out a short knife and wiped the squirrel's neck.
Looking at the huge figure of the squirrel, Shen Qing frowned.
"Great, saved."
Seeing that the squirrel was completely dead, Zhao Xi and Shen Zhi'an were relieved.
They walked quickly to Shen Qing, squatted down and looked at the body of the fat squirrel together.
"In this troubled world, you can still eat yourself so fat. This thing is really amazing." Shen Zhian sighed.
"What do you think it ate to grow into this shape?"
Zhao Xi thought for a while and said: "Generally, omnivores like squirrels mainly eat nuts, such as walnuts, peanuts and melon seeds."
Shen Qing continued: "In this environment where people can't eat, do you think they can still find nuts to eat?"
"Then what did it eat to become like this? It couldn't be meat, right?" Shen Zhian complained casually.
Shen Qing smiled at him and said, "You're right."
Shen Zhian's expression changed, "I'm talking nonsense, how can a squirrel eat meat..."
Shen Qing inserted a knife into the squirrel's belly, cut along the belly, and pulled out its stomach.
The undigested food residue in the stomach gave off a strong stench, which made the other two people cover their noses.
Shen Qing's expression remained unchanged.
She rummaged through the food scraps and found a severed human finger, and said, "Did you see it? This is the reason why this squirrel mutated."
Seeing the severed fingers, the two of them turned even paler.
"But they are herbivorous animals, how can they eat meat..." Zhao Xi said in shock.
Shen Qing peeled off the skin of the squirrels and said, "Those squirrels that don't eat have starved to death. The ones that forcibly changed their nature after trying meat... mutated like this."
Shen Zhian felt nauseated again as he watched her skinning smoothly.
"Sister...what are you doing? Don't you find it disgusting?"
Shen Qing wiped his hands with a towel and said calmly: "In extremely cold environments, the ability of animal fur to keep out the cold is more effective than quilts and down jackets, so it cannot be wasted."
After that, he broke the squirrel's neck in the surprised eyes of the two people.
At the connection between its neck and brain, there is a crystal as big as a grain of rice.
"Is this... a stone?" Shen Zhian found it hard to imagine that an animal like a squirrel could have stones, or in this position.
Shen Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"This is crystal. Mutated animals will condense crystal in their bodies. This is a good thing."
In the future, besides gold, the currency for transactions will be crystal stones.
Only with the blessing of crystal stones, ordinary people will have the opportunity to stimulate the supernatural powers in their bodies.
The more crystals you take, the higher the ability of the superpower will be improved.
However, the crystal stone in this squirrel's body is too small, and its effect is minimal.
After she wiped the crystal clean, she put it in her pocket.
"Sister Shen Qing, how do you know there is a spar in this squirrel? What is the role of this spar?" Zhao Xi, who didn't know the truth, was full of questions.
Although she knew that Shen Qing had many secrets that were inconvenient to tell her, and she also knew that she should turn a blind eye and ask less questions, there were so many unknown things now that she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Shen Qing was silent for a moment.
Zhao Xi has helped along the way with the Shen family, and at least now it seems that she is a trustworthy person.
But Shen Qing didn't want to tell everything about herself and the space.
Finally, he neutralized it and only told Zhao Xi that he had awakened his own powers and the role of the crystal.
Zhao Xi guessed that Shen Qing still had reservations about her.
But she also understood that it was always right to be cautious.
Shen Zhian was very excited after hearing the effect of crystal stones.
"Sister! Does this mean that as long as I have crystal stones, I can awaken my powers?"
Shen Qing recalled that in the previous life, Shen Zhian tried many times but failed to awaken his powers, and she couldn't bear to tell him the truth.
He could only vaguely say: "The requirements for becoming a superpower are not just crystal stones, but also talent and opportunity. No one can say for sure."
"Okay, you two were also shocked just now. Let's take another day off today and leave for City S tomorrow night."
In fact, it's not just that they are worried that the two of them will not be able to support themselves physically.
Since a mutant squirrel has appeared in this place, there might be other mutant animals nearby.
If I can get some more crystals, I might be able to add another superpower before entering S City.
It would be better if they were combat-type superpowers, so that when they enter S City, the danger would be much less.
Shen Qing thought this, and then went out alone.
Second floor.
Tao Ying and Shen Jie have also woken up.
Seeing Shen Zhian and Zhao Xi coming in from outside, they curiously asked what happened.
Shen Zhian told the two elders everything about tonight without reservation.
"What about your sister?" Seeing that they were the only two people going upstairs, Tao Ying kept looking back worriedly.
"Isn't it right behind?" Shen Zhian turned around, with only Zhao Xi behind him.
"Where's my sister? Wasn't she still here just now?" Shen Zhian asked anxiously.
Zhao Xi shook her head. She was thinking about other things just now and didn't notice that Shen Qing didn't follow.
Shen Zhian quickly went down to the first floor, but Shen Qing was no longer on the first floor.
"It's strange, she was here just now." Shen Zhian said anxiously: "I'll go find her."
Zhao Xi stopped the person and said: "I guess Sister Shen Qing went out to look for crystal stones. The reason why she didn't take us with her is because we can't help her now. We might drag her with her hind legs."
Shen Jie nodded, "I have the same guess as her. Rather than causing trouble to Guaiguai, it's better to wait here for her to come back."
Shen Zhian had nothing to say.
He sat in the corner, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
My sister has known about the superpowers for a long time, but she never mentioned it after she was reborn...
If he had powers in his previous life, my sister would not fail to tell him...
Thinking of this, Shen Zhian was still a little frustrated.
is that so?
Two years after the natural disaster, he still hasn't awakened his powers...
That’s why I failed to protect my family, and that’s why my sister died tragically...
Shen Zhian's eyes flashed with feelings of loss, and his whole body looked like a defeated fighting cock.
The other side.
Shen Qing was walking in the deserted village.
The coolest nights are when animals hiding in the darkness come out to hunt.
I just don't know if her aura is too strong. She has been out for a while and hasn't encountered a mutant beast yet.
This is not the way to go.
Shen Qing thought for a moment, then took out a short knife and slashed his arm. Blood immediately dripped from the tip of the knife to the ground.
Animal noses are much more sensitive than humans.
What's more, they were a group of hungry animals.
Shen Qing let his arm bleed and sat down next to the stone.
This is called sitting back and waiting.
About ten minutes later, there was movement in the darkness.
Shen Qing heard tiny footsteps not far away, which sounded like vigorous animals.
She leaned on the stone, seemingly relaxed, but in fact she was paying close attention to the movements around her.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, becoming more and more mixed.
Oops.
It seems that it has attracted a lot of prey this time.
She slowly straightened up and met those scarlet eyes.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still taken aback.
It has six legs, like a border collie-sized cat, and there are three of them.
Good guy, I'm planning to beat her up in a group.
These three cats look much tougher than squirrels.
Shen Qing took out the machete from the space and put the gun on his waist.
"Meow!"
The cat walking in the front suddenly howled, the sound was sharp, as if it was about to break people's eardrums.
After hearing the cry, the two cats behind him swooped towards Shen Qing.
Perhaps because of its six legs, the speed was several times faster than Shen Qing imagined.
If Shen Qing hadn't quickly pulled out the baffle from the space, half of his head would have been cut off by sharp claws.
And the two cats didn't expect that the duck they got turned into a piece of iron.
He didn't have time to dodge, and he was hit with a bang and was dizzy.
"Meow! Meow, meow!"
The lead cat arched his body, his eyes full of caution and hostility.
The two cats also took a few steps back, and retreated to the same front as the leading cat.
"Meow meow meow meow!"
The three cats gradually dispersed into a triangular formation, showing their fangs as if to challenge her.
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows.
interesting.
They were communicating in their own language and even coming up with strategies to deal with her.
These three cats mutate much faster than that squirrel, so the crystals in their bodies must be much larger.
Shen Qing geared up and saw that they did not take the initiative to attack, so he took the lead and shot at the cat on the left.
"Meow!"
The cat probably didn't recover after hitting the iron plate. His reaction speed was a beat slow, and his leg was hit by a bullet.
It whined, ignoring the leader cat's instructions and pounced directly on Shen Qing.
This was what Shen Qing wanted. She quickly picked up the big knife and slashed at the cat's neck.
He picked up the knife and dropped it, and the cat's head fell to the ground.
The other two were also angered by the miserable situation of their companions. After howling angrily, they bit Shen Qing's head and heart at the same time.
Shen Qing quickly dodged away and saw the opportunity to strike again.
Now of the three cats, only the leader was left alive.
Seeing Shen Qing's power, it turned around and ran towards the darkness.
"Want to escape? It's not that simple!"
Shen Qing chased after him.
Just as the leading cat was ducking into the cave, Shen Qing quickly released the baffle and blocked the entrance of the cave, blocking the way of the leading cat.
The lead cat was obviously startled.
Then came the explosive roar.
Shen Qing sneered and said, "Stop scolding us. We don't understand each other in the same language. No matter how ugly you scold me, I can't understand you."
The lead cat showed its fangs, arched its body and jumped suddenly, and scratched Shen Qing's face with its sharp claws.
Shen Qing took a step back and then swung his knife at it.
It reacted significantly faster and dodged immediately.
Before she could take a breath, it struck at the back of Shen Qing's head again. Seeing that Shen Qing had successfully dodged it, it continued to attack her like a madman, with the intention of sinking the boat.
