Passing through dilapidated buildings whose age cannot be determined, the bus headed toward its destination relatively smoothly.
There was no light outside, and the darkness swallowed up light, sound, and all hope.
In the bus, there was some kind of appetizing sound.
Lu Tan briefly processed the rat's meat. As the biologist Mary said, apart from the fact that it liked to bump around, the rat was an ordinary creature, except that it had well-developed muscles and a fat body.
Lu Tan used a knife to cut out the intact rat meat, washed away the blood foam, and cut it into thin, chewy pieces of meat.
Put some oil in the pan, and under the flames of the portable camping lamp, the oil heats up and emits a charming fragrance.
Put the prepared ribs into the pan and fry until fragrant. The fatty part of the ribs comes into contact with the hot oil and suddenly becomes charred, filling the car with a fragrant aroma that attracts human primitive impulses.
Lu Tan added the ginger and garlic and stir-fried. The spices were heated and gave off a pungent smell, which mixed with the aroma of the meat and enriched the layers of the aroma.
Finally, Lu Jian poured water into it, covering the ribs and forming a pot of shallow soup.
Add some tomatoes and scallions to the pot, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for a while, the soup will become rich and it will be difficult to suppress your appetite.
Lu Tan didn't know much about cooking, so he made a pot of soup and prepared to use rat meat to rinse the meat.
He picked up a piece of chopped rat meat with chopsticks, put it in the pot and rinsed it lightly.
The mouse meat, which was almost transparent to light, turned white in the blink of an eye and curled up. Lu Tiao put the meat into his mouth and closed his eyes.
If it were a normal world, rat meat would have a pungent smell and be sour, making it easy to burn.
The rats in the ruined capital are probably always in competition for survival. They have such powerful jumping ability and are larger in size. Therefore, the meat is firm, elastic and does not lose fat, just like high-grade beef. It is roughly estimated that the protein should be
More than three times that of chicken.
"tasty!"
Lu Tan couldn't help but sigh.
The three people looking at him couldn't help but swallowed.
"Do you want to eat it? This mouse is quite fat."
When Lu Tan saw this, he said.
"No need."
Mary, the biologist, sat back in her seat.
"Give me some."
"Hound's" left shoulder was sunken and looked like it was broken, but he didn't care. Instead, he took out his own cup for eating in the wild and filled it with a piece of ribs and a few pieces of rat meat.
"Can I really eat it?"
A frightened stone is also hungry. Tension can make people feel tired, but it can also make people feel hungry.
He simply caught the ribs that Lu Tan brought over with his hands and started to eat them.
Only the bloated driver had to drive, so he couldn't enjoy it. He could only take a deep breath and pretend to have tasted it.
"I'm on the road so late at night, what can I do without having something to eat?"
Lu Tan chewed up the cooked pork ribs and swallowed them, then suddenly thought.
"These mice are very large and their meat is edible. Why don't we just build a high wall on the way they migrate, so that the mice will directly hit themselves on the wall and get a lot of protein."
He spreads his thoughts.
"Or use a net bag, which can not only ensure the integrity of the mouse carcass, but also allow some rats to move forward through the mesh, ensuring sustainable development."
"That's right."
"Hound" ate the food and nodded repeatedly.
"..."
Only Mary, the biologist beside her, hesitated to speak.
After finishing the meat, Lu Kan boiled potatoes, radish, mushrooms and other vegetables, and then drank a bowl of soup. His body and soul were greatly satisfied.
After extinguishing the camping lights and putting the pot aside, Lu Jian leaned on the chair and waited for the end of the journey.
He didn't think things would end here, otherwise he would be looking down on the most difficult task.
After briefly treating Hound's wounds, Lu Tiao came to the co-pilot's seat.
He looked at the road ahead, illuminated by high beams, stretching endlessly toward the empty horizon.
"Have you driven this road many times?"
Lu Tan chatted.
"Um."
The driver responded, still staying focused.
Lu Tan did not continue chatting to disturb the driver, but also looked ahead.
These ruins are one after another, with few open spaces. You can imagine what a magnificent civilized city this once was.
The bus journey lasted two hours.
After eating, Shi Shi was attacked by fatigue and fell into a drowsy sleep.
Others kept their spirits up, especially Lu Jian.
If he didn't think it was a little strange to take out his phone at this time, he might have played some songs.
What's the point of driving at night without some background music?
Just as Lu Tan was sitting in the passenger seat and studying the crowbar in his hand carefully, he felt a sudden light in front of him.
Looking up, he saw a face pressed against the car window, with cloudy eyes staring at him.
It was a face that could never be called human.
The eyes are small, yellow with dark vertical pupils, and the head is sharp, like some kind of wild beast.
But behind the face are slender limbs and body, like an ape, but pale and hairless. Its fingers are slender and have sharp claws at the end, and they are tapping the car window.
Crunch——
The driver was also frightened by the sudden accident. When the steering wheel turned, the entire car lost its balance, ran forward, fell over, and flipped over.
After one lap, the wheels touched the ground again, but the inside of the car was in a mess, the lights went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
Lu Tan tightened his grip on the crowbar and immediately raised his head.
But the monster in the front window of the car has disappeared.
It was only then that Lu Jian noticed that there was a faint light around him.
He looked out the window warily. It was not ruins, but a piece of vegetation.
These plants grew wildly and were as tall as a person, emitting a green light that slightly illuminated the interior of the car.
"Hound" stood up unsteadily. He pulled up the stone that was awakened and took another look at Mary's condition.
Mary was slumped on the back of the front seat and hadn't recovered yet.
"Are you okay?"
Lu Tan turned around to ask the driver, only to find that the driver's seat was empty, the window had been shattered, and the bloated driver seemed to have been thrown out.
"What kind of plant is this?"
Hound came to the front door, pushed it open, and walked out.
Lu Tan followed him. The ground under his feet was soft, like mud soaked in water.
He looked behind the car for a moment, and saw that the steel giant had crushed a little mark, and he could see that it was not very far from the road.
But Lu Jian discovered at this time that the traces of being crushed seemed to be gradually closing.
These green plants seem to be alive, swaying in the wind.
"incredible......"
Mary got out of the car. She looked at the plants that were taller than her and reached out to touch them.
She pushed aside a cluster.
Behind the fluorescent plants, a face suddenly appeared.
