Chapter 8

[operating instructions of active substance extractor:]

[1. Active substances are the main raw materials for the synthesis of clones, including but not limited to minerals, 20 common amino acids and 2 rare amino acids required for human body.]

[2. The raw material of the active substance extractor is animal corpse. Among them, chordate mammalia primates are the best, with an extraction efficiency of up to 90%, followed by non primates, and invertebrates are the lowest, with an extraction efficiency of less than 10%.]

[3. The extraction efficiency is also related to the degree of deterioration.]

With the completion of the task of recruiting players, the rewards and instructions will arrive together.

In shelter 404.

Chu Guang looked at the instructions projected by the system on his retina and looked at the iron pimple that looked like a coffin next to the conveyor belt.

According to the instructions, it is a device used to produce "raw materials for synthetic human cloning" - that is, "active substances".

In short, the function is similar to body recycling?

However, according to the description in the manual, heterogeneous corpses seem to be within the scope of recovery.

After learning about the usage of this thing, Chu Guang dragged it to the elevator with the board car he picked up from the outside, and followed the elevator back to the surface.

He doesn't want to get the body into the shelter.

As for electricity.

There's always a way.

The elevator rises slowly, stops and opens the door.

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

"Master!"

"What's the matter?"

"There seems to be something wrong with your players... A big black bird is attacking them! It's on the north side of the sanatorium!"

Big black bird?

Chu Guang was stunned at first. His face immediately changed. He immediately threw down his cart and rushed to the direction outside the sanatorium.

……

"Sleeping trough? Night brother cow batch."

"There's something about the forward rollover and dodge just now!"

"Fuck off, I'm so scared! Don't stand silly. Come on, come and help me!"

The woods to the north of the sanatorium.

A black bird stood on the branch of a tree ten meters high, and its sharp vision locked on a group of players on the ground.

The bird's legs are slightly curved, and the big wings of the kite are folded back, ready to launch and start at any time.

After hearing the news on night 10, the other three players immediately put down their work and rushed here with an axe.

It may be that seeing the large number of people on the ground, the blackbird did not immediately start the second round of dive, but stopped at a place beyond the reach of the people to wait for the opportunity.

The strong wind bent down, picked up a black feather on the ground and stared at it.

"A bit like a crow."

"How big is the crow?" glanced at the scratch on the wood next to him, and said with lingering fear as he retreated at night 10.

"This thing should be alien... Mutants produced by gamma rays or other things. I read the settings on the official website." the square commander stared at him carefully and dared not relax for a moment.

Night 10: "the official website has settings?! isn't it just an appointment page?"

Gale: "that was a few days ago... You didn't see the new features on the official website yesterday?"

"Don't talk nonsense, what should we do now? Just do it?" night ten nervously took another step back.

Now the nearest to the bird has become a strong wind.

Four people and one bird are in a stalemate.

At this time, a broken sound of "whoosh" crossed the heads of the four people and hit the big bird straightly.

"SIP!"

Although the stone didn't hit, it startled the big bird, fluttered and jumped to another branch of the tree.

When it fluttered its wings and finally stabilized its shape on the branch, it saw that the man on the ground picked up another stone and threw it at himself.

The big bird was completely angry.

It's the first time for him to see such a arrogant guy in his territory.

The bent legs made a sudden effort and jumped up from the tree branches. It was like a loaded shell and plunged into Chu light.

Sharp claws stretched forward like open hooks and locks.

However, an animal is an animal after all. Even with another head, it can't understand the irony raised by the corners of its mouth.

He threw away the stone in his hand. Chu Guang skillfully grabbed the steel pipe inserted on the ground and stabbed the sharp end out.

There was no time to dodge between lightning, stone and fire.

Although the big bird flapped its wings to open the distance at the moment when Chu Guang picked up the guy he had never seen, it was almost impossible to get in time under the action of inertia.

The water pipe, like a javelin, pierced into its chest.

"SIP --!"

A shrill cry echoed through the woods.

Bloody feathers fluttered in all directions.

Looking at the big bird struggling to fly away, Chu Guangmo came forward silently and picked up the bloody 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 in amazement and were stunned by this moving action.

what the fuck!

How strong!!

However, they do not know that for the vast majority of survivors who can walk alone on the waste land, this level of skill is just basic exercises.

In the past five months, Chu Guang didn't learn anything else. He just practiced his javelin throwing skills. He pointed out where to stick within ten meters.

Otherwise he won't have a chance to stand here and pretend to be forced.

"Falcon?! how big is it?" the strong wind was surprised, which overturned his understanding of birds.

The abbot swallowed his saliva.

"Because of gamma rays?"

"It's not just gamma rays. Viruses, bacteria, genetic weapons... All kinds of factors contribute to what we see today. Of course, heterogeneity is only one of the threats we face. In some cases, people will be more dangerous than them."

Chu Guang looked up at the pine trees in front of the four players and then said.

"The Falcon should have made a nest in this tree just now. No wonder so many of you don't let it go."

Generally speaking, birds are rarely aggressive ground creatures larger than themselves. Their diet is mainly based on mutant cockroaches or mice and squirrels.

Although the beast flew away, it didn't fly far. It's estimated that it's waiting to die in a nearby tree.

Although the penetrating power of this kind of pointed water pipe is not strong, the hollowed out inside is a natural bleeding groove. As long as a hole is pierced in the body, it is almost fatal.

Don't say it's a bird. Even if people are next to each other, it's difficult to sew up the wound.

Night ten lowered his head in shame.

"I'm sorry... I patronized cutting wood and didn't notice."

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

It'll be a blessing in the mouth.

……

Chu Guang's judgment was soon verified.

Under a crooked neck tree, he found the dead blackbird.

He bled it with a dagger and stripped its feathers. Chu Guang threw it into an iron pot and put it on a brick stove. He stuffed dry branches and dead leaves under the stove and lit it with a match he had bought before.

Smoke rose from the kitchen.

Before the water boiled, Chu Guang took the big bird out of the pot, strung it with steel bars and roasted it directly on the fire.

There are those bird eggs baked together.

No salt, no spice.

But even so, it's much better than half cooked green wheat paste.

"Is this thing... Edible?"

Looking at the "mutant" on the iron frame, Yeshi instinctively felt repelled, but the aroma kept stirring, and he still swallowed his saliva.

I can eat in the game!

This is definitely a surprise for food.

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

"You can eat it when it's cooked. I'll tell you what you can't eat." Chu Guang slowly turned the grill to fully heat every side of the food.

There are few opportunities to eat game on the waste soil.

Even if we can occasionally catch game that can be eaten like this, it will soon go bad because of the lack of preservation means.

Here, salt is more scarce than electricity.

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

As for the refrigerator, it is said that there is one in the mayor's castle, but Chu Guang has only heard of it and has not 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 kind of tobacco leaf rich in aromatic compounds such as tar and alcohols, aldehydes and ketones. Even if it is smoked without salt, it can prolong the food shelf life for several months.

"Manager, how much wood do we need?"

Waiting for food to cook well is a kind of suffering.

In order to divert attention from the food, the mayor took the initiative to open the conversation.

Hearing this question, Chu Guang replied casually.

"Cut as many as you have."

The players looked at each other and didn't have much energy.

Chu Guang didn't care much at first, but at this time, he suddenly thought of something.

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

Different from those who have crossed here, they can leave here at any time, and there is no urgency of survival.

Even if they tell them the importance of storing wood, they won't really understand what this sentence means.

The identity of players determines that they think differently from themselves. Even if they don't mind, it's hard for them to continue to pay for things that don't pay off.

There are tasks.

Naturally, there must be rewards.

"Let me see..."

Chu Guang touched his chin and fell into meditation.

Suddenly, he came up with an idea.

"At 4 p.m., let's count today's results."

"Trees with thick arms contribute 1 point per meter long. Trees with thick thighs contribute 2 points per meter -"

However, to Chu Guang's surprise, his voice just fell. Four salted fish with bowls stood up with a miso.

"Manager, I suddenly feel not very hungry."

"Me too."

"Anyway, there will be a while before dinner. I'll roll two more trees!"

"I suddenly want to cut something!"

Chuguang: "...?"

He hasn't said what this contribution can be used fo
