Chapter 8 This game can still eat!

  【Active substance extractor instruction manual:】

  【1. Active substances are the main raw materials for the synthesis of clones, including but not limited to the minerals needed to form the human body, 20 common amino acids and 2 rare amino acids, etc. 】

  【2. The active substance extractor uses animal carcasses as raw materials. Among them, chordates, mammalian primates are the best, and the extraction efficiency is as high as 90%, followed by non-primates. The extraction efficiency of invertebrates is the lowest, less than 10%. 】

  【3. The extraction efficiency is also related to the degree of spoilage. 】

  As the task of recruiting players is completed, rewards and instructions will arrive together.

  In Vault 404.

  Chu Guang looked at the manual projected on his retina by the system, and at the same time looked at the iron lump that looked like a coffin beside the conveyor belt.

  According to the introduction in the instruction manual, this thing is a device used to produce "raw materials for synthetic cloning"—that is, "active substances".

   Simply put, the function is similar to corpse recovery?

   But looking at the description in this manual, it seems that the corpses of different species are also within the scope of recovery.

   Having roughly understood the usage of this thing, Chu Guang dragged it to the elevator with the cart he picked up from outside, and returned to the surface with the elevator.

  He didn't want to put the dead body in the shelter.

   As for electricity.

  There is always a way.

  The elevator rises slowly, stops and opens the door.

   Just as he was dragging the scooter out of the elevator, Xiao Qi's voice came from upstairs almost at the same time.

"Owner!"

"What's wrong?"

   "There seems to be a situation on your player side... a large black bird is attacking them! On the north side of the nursing home!"

   Big black bird?

  Chu Guang was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed, and he immediately dropped the cart in his hand and rushed towards the direction outside the nursing home.

  …

   "Damn it? Brother Ye is awesome."

   "There was something wrong with the forward roll and dodge just now!"

   "Get out, I'm so scared! Don't stand there stupidly, come and help me!"

  The woods north of the nursing home.

  A black bird stood on a tree branch ten meters high, its sharp eyes fixed on the players on the ground.

  The bird's legs are slightly bent, and the kite's large wings are folded back, ready to launch at any time.

  After hearing the movement from Ye Shi's side, the other three players immediately put down their work and rushed towards this side with an axe.

   It may be that seeing the crowds on the ground, the black bird did not immediately launch the second round of dives, but stopped at a place out of everyone's reach and waited for an opportunity.

  Guang Feng bent down, picked up a black feather on the ground, and stared at it twice.

   "Kind of like a crow."

   "How big is a crow?!" Glancing at the scratches on the wood next to him, Ye Shi said with lingering fear while backing away.

   "This thing should be a mutant... mutants produced by gamma rays or other things, I read the settings on the official website." Fang Chang stared at him cautiously, not daring to relax for a moment.

  Ye Shi: "Is there a setting on the official website?! Isn't it just a reservation page?"

  Guangfeng: "That was a few days ago... The official website was updated with new features yesterday, didn't you read it?"

   "Let's stop talking nonsense, what should we do now? Just do it like this?" Ye Shi took another step back nervously.

   Now the closest thing to the bird is the wind.

   Four people and one bird fell into a stalemate.

   At this moment, a "whoosh" piercing sound passed over the heads of the four people, and slammed straight towards the big bird.

   "Squeeze!"

  Although the stone missed the hit, it startled the big bird, fluttered into the air, and jumped onto another tree branch.

  When it fluttered its wings and finally stabilized its body on the branch, it saw that the person on the ground picked up another stone and threw it towards itself.

  Big Bird was completely angry.

   It was the first time it saw a guy who dared to be so arrogant to him in this territory that belonged to him.

  The bent legs exerted force suddenly, and it leaped from the tree branch like a fired cannonball, and it plunged towards Chu Guang.

  The sharp claws stretch forward, like an open hook lock.

  However, a beast is a beast after all, even if it grows another head, it is impossible for it to understand the trace of sarcasm that curled up at the corner of its mouth.

   Throwing away the stone in his hand, Chu Guang skillfully grabbed the steel pipe inserted into the ground, and stabbed the sharp end out fiercely.

   There was no time to dodge in the blink of an eye.

  Although the big bird fluttered its wings in shock and wanted to distance itself the moment it saw Chu Guang pick up the guy it hadn't seen, but under the action of inertia, it was basically impossible to make it in time.

  The water pipe was like a javelin, stabbing hard into its chest.

   "Squeeze—!"

  The mournful cry echoed in the forest.

  Blooded feathers flew in all directions.

  Looking at the big bird struggling to fly away, Chu Guang stepped forward silently and picked up the **** water pipe from the ground.

   "This is not a crow."

   "Its scientific name is Falcon...about two hundred years ago."

  The four players stared at him dumbfounded, stunned by this set of smooth movements.

   Damn it!

  So strong!

  However, they don't know that for the vast majority of survivors who can walk alone in the wasteland, this level of skill is nothing more than basic training.

  In the past five months, Chu Guang has learned nothing but the skill of throwing the javelin, pointing to where to stab within ten meters.

   Otherwise, he wouldn't have the chance to stand here and pretend to be aggressive.

   "Falcon?! Is it so big?" Guafeng asked in surprise, which subverted his cognition of birds.

   Abbot swallowed.

   "Because of gamma rays?"

"It's not just gamma rays. Viruses, bacteria, genetic weapons... All kinds of factors, combined to cause everything we see today. Of course, xenomorphs are only one of the threats we face. In some cases, people are more dangerous than them .”

  Chu Guang looked up at the pine tree in front of the four players, and continued.

   "The falcon just now should have made a nest in this tree. No wonder so many of you don't leave."

  Generally speaking, birds rarely provoke ground creatures that are bigger than themselves. Their diet is mainly mutated cockroaches, mice, and squirrels.

  Although the animal flew away, it didn't fly very far. It was probably waiting to die on a nearby tree.

   Although the penetrating power of this kind of pointed water pipe is not strong, the hollow inside is a natural bloodletting tank. As long as a hole is pierced in the body, it is almost certain to die.

   Not to mention birds, even if people are next to each other, it is difficult to suture the wound.

  Ye Shi lowered his head in shame.

   "Sorry... I was too busy chopping wood and didn't notice."

   "Don't be sorry," Chu Guang looked up, "Bird eggs are a good thing."

   I will have a good time in a while.

  …

  Chu Guang's judgment was quickly verified.

  Under a crooked-neck tree, he found the dead black bird.

He bled it with a dagger and stripped its feathers. Chu Guang threw it into an iron pot and put it on a stove made of bricks. He stuffed dry branches and dead leaves under the stove. The match was lit.

  Cooking smoke rises.

  Before the water boiled, Chu Guang took the blanched bird out of the pot, put it on a string, and roasted it directly on the fire.

   There are also those few bird eggs baked together.

   No salt, no spices.

   But even so, it is much better than half-cooked green wheat mush.

   "This stuff... can I eat it?"

  Looking at the "mutant" on the iron frame, Ye Shi instinctively felt repulsed, but Naihe swallowed his saliva despite the constant teasing of the fragrance.

   You can actually eat in the game!

   This is definitely a surprise for foodies.

   And this also made him instantly feel that all the hard work this morning was worth it.

   "You can eat it when it's cooked, and I'll tell you what you can't eat." Chu Guang slowly turned the grill so that every side of the food was fully heated.

   There are not many opportunities to eat wild game in the wasteland.

   Even if you can occasionally catch edible game like this, it will quickly spoil due to lack of preservation methods.

   Here, salt is a more scarce commodity than electricity.

   Especially for survivors living in inland cities like Qingquan City, it is unrealistic to use a lot of salt to pickle food.

  As for the refrigerator, I heard that there is one in the mayor’s castle, but Chu Guang has only heard of it, and has never really seen it.

   Of course, the survivors are not completely helpless.

  For example, Mr. Brown’s farm, the survivor’s stronghold next door, will produce a tobacco leaf rich in aromatic compounds such as tar and aldol ketones. Even if smoked without salt, it can extend the shelf life of food for several months.

   "Master Manager, how much wood do we need?"

   Waiting for the food to be cooked is a torment.

  In order to divert attention from the food, Fang Chang took the initiative to open the chatterbox.

  Hearing this question, Chu Guang replied casually.

   "Cut as much as you have."

  The players looked at each other, not showing much energy.

  Chu Guang didn't pay much attention to it at first, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

   They are "players", that is, "outsiders".

  Different from themselves who have already traveled here, they can leave here at any time, and there is no urgency to survive.

  Even if they tell them the importance of storing timber, they will never really understand what this sentence means.

  The identity of the players determines that they think about problems from a different angle than themselves. Even if they don't mind the liver, it's hard to keep giving for something that doesn't pay off.

   There are tasks.

   Naturally, there must be rewards.

   "Let me see..."

   Chu Guang, who touched his chin, fell into deep thought.

  Suddenly, he thought of an idea.

   "At four o'clock in the afternoon, let's count today's results."

   "A tree with thick arms, every meter of length, 1 point contribution. A tree with thick thighs, every meter, 2 points of contribution—"

  However, what Chu Guang didn't expect was that just after his words fell, the four salted fish with bowls stood up with a groan.

   "My lord, I suddenly don't feel very hungry."

"Me too."

   "Anyway, there is still a while before dinner, I will go to pick up two more trees!"

   "I suddenly want to chop something!"

  Chu Guang: "...?"

  He hasn't said what the contribution points can be used for...
