Chapter 189 The Muskrat Killer (1)
"Let him go."
Pan Ming shook his head, looked at the desolate surroundings, and added, "You have to find something to do, or you will go crazy."
"In addition, this is the first time we form a team and fight side by side in a strange world. It is worth remembering."
"really."
After being reminded by Pan Ming, Lu Li also felt that it was absolutely necessary to record this experience——
Although the previous exams were all big scenes, except for the evaluation form and some items, there were no photos or videos to prove that they had been there.
With this in mind, Lu Li waved his hand at the camera, and immediately entered the scene, raising his finger forward:
"See those snow-covered mountains over there?"
"According to more than 10,000 years later, it is the St. Elias Mountains, with a total length of 400 kilometers, extending from southeastern Alaska in the United States to British Columbia in Canada."
What was there 10,000 years ago?
Mammoths, saber-toothed cats, giant short-faced bears, dire wolves...
Duke, however, had a strong desire to express himself, and immediately took over the words: "The first step in survival is to determine the direction."
Speaking of this, the guy's expression became serious, and he looked up at the sky: "Remember, no matter what era you are in, as long as you are still on the earth, then the sun must rise in the east and set in the west.
But now it is early autumn, and in the afternoon of local time, for creatures in the northern hemisphere, the sun will rise from the southeast and set from the southwest, so it can be judged that the mountains are located in the northeast. "
"According to my estimate, it's less than two hours before dark, so we have to hurry up and get to the leeward slope of the mountain before sunset to build a temporary shelter."
After finishing speaking, the playwright Duke put on his cold mask and walked forward without hesitation.
As for Pan Ming, he was very quiet and acted extremely calmly. Unfortunately, Lu Li and Duke knew that this guy was hard-hearted and capable of leveling New York City. He was a real boss.
at the same time.
The metal ball landed from the sky, touched the ground, and photographed three desolate backs.
This time, there is no vehicle to ride in, and no special abilities can be used, so they can only walk to the leeward slope as soon as possible.
Along the way, the snow layer varies in depth.
Sometimes, it's easy to get stuck when you step down, and with the mask on, it's hard to breathe, Lu Li and the others have a hard time walking.
I haven't experienced this kind of powerlessness for a long time, and it's hard to get used to it for a while.
The only good thing is that the surrounding area is very open, with no bushes or woods blocking the road.
After walking for about half an hour, Lu Li, who was exploring the way, suddenly stopped and made a gesture to warn the two people walking behind.
On his left side, a series of footprints appeared.
Very small and shallow.
It should be some kind of small animal, he made a judgment immediately.
However, even so, Lu Li still didn't take it lightly. He quickly opened the leather case hanging on his chest and took out a small pistol.
If the sniper rifle on the back is Qinglong Yanyue Dao, then this .22 caliber compact pistol is more like a scalpel, which can accurately shoot through the skull of small prey.
The moment he grasped the handle of the gun, Lu Li instantly regained his confidence. Even though he lost the blessing brought by the werewolf blood, he was still proficient in using all kinds of firearms, and he did not lack experience in life-and-death fighting!
Soon, Lu Li noticed that a pile of dry grass on the left was shaking a few times, so he raised his pistol and was ready to shoot.
rustle.
At this time, that guy moved again!
A shiny long tail was revealed.
Other than that, there was no other movement.
Seeing this, Lu Li held his breath to prevent the body trembling from affecting the ballistic spread, and then lightly pulled the trigger.
boom!
The bullet was released instantly, and the arm shook slightly. Obviously, the tiny recoil of the .22 caliber pistol was almost negligible.
boom! boom!
At this time, Duke and Pan Ming followed up. They were afraid that the prey would not be dead, so they each took another shot. In the wormwood not far away, a chubby fat mouse fell to the ground and slid into the snow. .
"This is a lost adult muskrat, who seems to have never seen a human being, and is hiding in the grass to observe secretly."
Duke let out an exclamation, with an exaggerated expression, and organized his words while walking towards the prey.
"Because, according to the course of history, those Inuit people living near the Arctic Circle have not yet crossed the Bering Strait to the Americas."
Thinking about it this way, the three of them can be regarded as rewriting the history of mankind. Thinking of this, Duke couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
You know, this time there is a video to prove it!
"Don't be poor."
Pan Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Time is running out. Hurry up and help Lu Li deal with this muskrat, and then continue on our way."
In fact, instead of calling this guy a rat, it would be better to call it a mink, because its body is 35 centimeters long, and it is quite heavy to lift.
"Muskrat is a precious small fur animal that is highly sought after in the fur market. Not only that, its meat is also very delicate, and its protein content is higher than that of beef, which is a delicacy with high protein and low fat."
It was a rare time to relax, without having to pretend to be various characters, and Lu Li talked more. He lifted the muskrat and shook it in front of the camera.
"Even a poor chef can cook a high-end meal with just a pinch of salt."
After he finished speaking, Pan Ming put down the backpack and took out two steel wires from it, while Duke pulled out the dagger from his waist and began to skin the prey——
Wrap around the muskrat's two hind legs, use a dagger to open the back, slowly tear, and then remove the four claws and tail, keeping the head and legs.
During the whole process, the knife moves smoothly, the coordination is perfect, never stops, and the skin and meat are guaranteed to be perfectly separated.
This little fellow was unlucky. When he met the three gods of death, he didn't need to discuss it at all. The division of labor was very clear. Lu Li didn't hesitate and began to process the internal organs of the prey——
The dagger pierced into the abdomen, like a hot knife cutting oil, without hindrance, and as the tip of the knife was picked down, the viscera sticked into a ball with heat, and flowed down unstoppably.
However, the three of them didn't even blink their eyes, and they even had thoughts on talking:
"Generally speaking, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not eat the internal organs of omnivorous animals, especially the intestines, where bacteria and parasites are most likely to breed."
"Of course, this muskrat is clean, but the meat is enough for our stew, so there is no need to take any more risks."
This time it was Pan Ming who spoke, but he still couldn't maintain his aloof personality, so he took the initiative to speak.
After a while, everything returned to calm.
Lu Li held the prey in his hand, took a stride, and continued to walk ahead to explore the way.
Since then, there have been no accidents, but when the three climbed to the other side of the mountain, the sun had already set in the sky.
Once the light exposure is lost, the temperature will drop rapidly, even if you are on a leeward slope, it is still difficult to survive abruptly.
The molting muskrat that had been frozen into a popsicle was the best proof.
