Hang up to study, I became a master of esoteric religion

Yuanzi took the sight and installed it on the rifle, then turned on the thermal imaging sight, plugged his eyes into the scope, and aimed at the grass soaked in black and red blood.

In a thermal imaging sight, the thermal radiation emitted by the target will be displayed on the lens as a visible image.

"There are no animals, so it's safe for now," Mariko said.

"receive."

After the squad leader finished speaking, he followed Yuanzi slowly towards the black and red grass.

As they approached, the two saw the fragmentary flashes of grass swaying, which were the refracted light of the black scales.

The two mowed the grass with bayonets, and the 1.5-meter-high grass was chopped off in unison.

The black-scaled snake whose head was shot last time was lying there. The scales around the snake's head and eyes were missing, and the inside of its head seemed to be empty, even the flesh could not be seen.

Mariko turned on the tactical flashlight on the rifle, and a beam of intense white light shone on the head wound of the Black Scaled Snake.

Now the two of them could see more clearly, the black scaled snake's head was empty, and the light could even illuminate the scales inside.

"Hiss—" the squad leader gasped.

There is not even a piece of meat left inside the snake head!

The inner wall of the empty shell is only left with dried blood film.

"An animal got in and ate up the meat inside." The monitor's voice trembled.

Mariko irradiated the inside of the snake's head from another angle, and through the wound, he could see that there was no meat residue inside the snake's neck.

The snake's spine was still inside, and the foreign animal hadn't eaten the bones.

"Strange, why don't you eat bones?" The squad leader also shifted to Yuanzi's perspective to look inside, and murmured.

Yuanzi's heart flashed, maybe it wasn't that the bones were not tasty, but that the bones were too hard.

"Squad leader, I'll shoot to test the hardness of the snake's spine, please get out of the way."

"Okay." The squad leader stepped back.

Yuanzi raised the gun horizontally and lowered the muzzle slightly.

She doesn't need the system to hit it on her behalf, if she can hit it at such a close distance, she can hang herself.

There was a gunshot, and the surface of the snake's spine exploded, and golden sparks splashed out, making a sound of gold and stone.

The lingering sound keeps echoing and spreading in the hollow shell of the snake body.

"The spine is so hard, no wonder those animals only bite the meat, not the bones." Yuanzi was thoughtful.

The surface of the Black Scaled Snake's spine only left a small dent, and there was even a slight recovery, a bit like the characteristics of memory metal.

Afterwards, Yuanzi looked down at the blood-stained black grass.

Mariko wore gloves on his hands, and seeing that the black grass was not aggressive, he immediately pulled out a grass with his hands.

The blood-stained black grass was uprooted, Yuanzi stepped on the mud with her feet, and after simple cleaning, she saw a string of numbers on the root.

99 million+

Yuanzi went back to pull out those green grasses that were only 99 centimeters high, which were also [-] billion+.

However, Yuanzi felt that the radiation mutation of the infected grass was more obvious, and the ranking should be much higher than that of normal grass.

"The blood-stained grass has mutated." Mariko murmured.

This may be an evolutionary route. By drinking the blood of mutated animals and eating the meat of mutated animals, creatures can mutate their bodies again, improve their numerical rankings, and gain greater competitiveness.

"Mariko, the vegetables we planted are bearing fruit, look." At this moment, the squad leader poked Yuanzi's back with his finger.

300 meters ahead, dozens of large purple eggplants were lying on the ground in a daze.

Mariko looked at those eggplants, and her thoughts became clearer.

"Squad leader, I may have found a way to improve the numerical ranking."

"What method?" asked the squad leader.

Mariko stretched out his small hand, pointing to the pile of mutated eggplants: "Eating those things may mutate your body."

Chapter 17 Missing Hometown White Rice

next morning.

The two cleaned the mutated eggplant, restarted the generator, turned on the electric ceramic stove to cook soup, and threw the mutated eggplant into the pot to cook.

After a cooking time, the food is cooked, and the strange aroma fills the whole house.

The two put on masks and went to the next room.

Two bats were nailed to the floor, their bodies were bound with iron chains, their wings and four feet were cut off, and only their heads and bodies remained.

The two caught it last night. The specific operation was to light a torch three kilometers away, put ham on it, and secretly set up an electrified trap.

The red-eyed bat stared at the food without warning, was hit by the electrotherapy trap, and was electrified and smoked.

After the bat was electrotherapy, it trembled all over, unable to cope with Yuanzi's capture.

Therefore, the bat survived and was formally captured by Mariko and the others, and their wings and limbs were cut off.

Let's talk about Yuanzi.

After Yuanzi cooked the food, she began to feed the bats.

I have fed it once last night, and this morning is the second time to feed eggplant soup and eggplant meat.

The two injured bats opened their mouths, saw the eggplant soup in the rice bowl, and immediately stretched it in like a dog, sucking and drinking.

"The bat that drank the soup last night had sarcoma on the limbs and the fracture of the wing, and the other control group that was not fed had no growth." Mariko recorded in a notebook.

"Could it be that food can help heal wounds?" The monitor said with his hand on his chin.

"I'm afraid it's their own abilities. After all, they rank around 30 billion." Yuanzi said.

The numerical rankings of the two bats are in the wings, which were cut off by the two and burned.

The two thought of this, and checked the skin on the bat again.

Of course, the two will not touch the bat with their own hands, but touch the bat with tools to prevent themselves from being infected with terrible germs.

"Look, squad leader, it's a new number." Mariko pointed to the bat's butt, where there was a row of new numbers.

The squad leader also found the number on the second bat, where there was a circle of tiny black numbers at the wound on the foot.

Both bats are ranked at 30 billion, with one at the bottom of twelve and the other at nine thousand and fourteen.

"The wings with numbers printed on them were destroyed by us last night, and today the numbers appeared on another skin. It's really evil." The squad leader stared at the numbers, feeling a little chilly in his heart.

This world is very strange no matter how you look at it. Why the numbers on the body are updated at midnight every day, the class leader is puzzled, this is unscientific.

There are many unscientific things, and the squad leader is destined to slowly learn to accept such unreasonable things.

In the following five days, both of them only fed one bat and did not feed the other bat as a control experiment.

And the two of them were not idle, and spent some time using the electric shock trap, and then caught a few bats to come in for experiments.

Experimental results show that food has an impact on ranking.

Bats that devour eggplant meat and soup have steadily risen in numerical rankings, advancing by dozens of places every day.

For the group that did not eat food, their numerical rankings basically fluctuated left and right in the first four days. Then, on the fifth day, their bodies were delayed in getting energy and nutritional supplements, their physical functions declined, and their numerical rankings fell back by thousands of places.

Yuanzi and the others haven't killed animals recently, so the ranking basically won't change too much, only jumping a few places occasionally, and going backwards the next day.

"The bats in the control group ate for five days, and there was no change in the shape of the body, but the wings and limbs grew by a quarter. This is unreasonable. The food we provide does not have so much energy for it to grow limbs." The squad leader worried. road.

"But no matter what, we haven't eaten anything else nutritious for eleven days, so we have to give it a try," Mariko said.

Recently, Yuanzi and the squad leader re-searched all the supermarkets within [-] kilometers and collected the rice inside.

Rice has a long shelf life. Of course, rice that is publicly displayed in supermarkets is not so easy to store. Once it encounters humid weather, it is easy to get damp and moldy.

However, according to Yuanzi's actual inspection, these rices can still be eaten, indicating that the mutated rice does not seem to be moldy.

"En." The squad leader nodded, and she just raised her mouth, and didn't plan to eat compressed dry food all the time.

Early in the morning, the two washed the rice and put it in a pressure cooker to cook. After 10 minutes, the mutated rice was officially baked.

When the cover was opened, the fresh rice fragrance wafted into the nostrils. Yuanzi closed her eyes subconsciously, as if dreaming of returning to the rice fields in her hometown, and her ears were full of the sound of rice waves blown by the wind.

"It's delicious rice, I think of the rice in my hometown." The class monitor also closed his eyes and tasted it for a long time.

Speaking of their hometown, the two couldn't help but think of the big rice in modern society, the smell of rice is really mouth-watering.

"Mariko, I'm homesick, I really want to go back." The squad leader stared at the rice with an abnormal expression.

Mariko didn't miss that home at all, that home was a cage of old-fashioned ideas for her, and now her mind was full of nostalgia for the feeling of the rice fields and the wind and waves blowing over her body.

"Food rice, don't think about that, I can't go back." Yuanzi picked up a spoon to serve the rice, and then brought another soup pot to the table.

In addition to eggplant, there are tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers.

After these seeds undergo radiation mutation, they all have the ability to survive beyond common sense, as well as the ability to grow at a super-speed.

Except that there is no meat, these few dishes are enough for them to eat.

There are a lot of mutated parasites and bacteria in the bats. The two were afraid of eating them because they were afraid that the parasites would mutate and develop high temperature resistance.

Yuanzi took a bite out of the rice and picked up a piece of soft white eggplant meat, which melted in his mouth, like a ball of water melting into his tongue.

"So tender and soft." Mariko sighed.

The squad leader ate the food in silence, the nostalgic magic of this bowl of rice was far more terrifying than Yuanzi imagined.

After eating a table of dishes, the squad leader also served two extra bowls of rice. After eating, he was in a daze.

The monitor didn't read all day today, Mariko asked her what's wrong, the monitor just shook his head silently.

At night, Mariko heard the monitor say:

"Mariko, I'm homesick again... How about we go on a trip, drive a big truck to travel, use the car to load our supplies, and we will look for our city while traveling." The squad leader said.

Yuanzi didn't have any psychological pressure, and it was good to go out to get some fresh air to relieve the psychological pressure.

"Okay, then get ready." Mariko said.

The only thing Mariko has to worry about is whether there is an irresistible risk outside the city, but she has never been there, so she doesn't know what's going on outside.

Yuanzi's original idea was rather salty, she wanted to stay in this city for [-] days and return smoothly.

However, it was still too boring for the two of them to stay in a fixed area. They had to beware of animals breaking the door every day, and their spirits were tense. It would be strange to have a good rest.

For a long time, the squad leader's mentality has also accumulated a lot of pressure.

Chapter 18 The Strange Creatures in the Wheat Fields in the Suburbs

In order to fulfill the squad leader's wish, Mariko and the squad leader began to look for large trucks on the street.

To be honest, big trucks are not so easy to drive, the steering wheel is heavy, and you have to be careful when turning and overtaking driverless cars on the street.

If there are a few cars jammed on the street, an overlong truck will basically not be able to cross that section of the road without people.

If it's a van, it should be easier.

Mariko spoke out her suggestion, and the squad leader nodded to accept her opinion.

"Let's find a van and drive it. It has a lot of space and grow some vegetables in it."

It only takes a day or two for the seeds to mature after planting, which brings great convenience to the two.

At the same time, the two also went to the library to get world maps, national maps, provincial maps, and city maps.

In the original world, Mariko was JK from Guanshui City, Yun Country.

In this dream world, the place where Yuanzi is found is called Wuguo No. 1 Experimental City.

The national conditions of Wuguo are completely different from those of Yunguo. In the dream, there are ammunition in many empty houses, which shows that this is a society where everyone has guns.

As for the original Cloud Country, there is no name for this country on the world map.

The squad leader looked at the unfamiliar world map, and the topography of each continent was very different from the topography she knew.

Although in general, every continent has a similar terrain, but in fact it is not the world recognized by the squad leader.

"This is a strange world." The squad leader looked at the world map, feeling even heavier.
