Chapter 538 Gastropod Queen

Xiaowei handed the fist-sized eggs to the third man and asked him to take them to the insect breeding room to take good care of them. Then she carefully took the compressed biscuits and ate them, with a satisfied and happy expression on her face. Wenjun wiped her tears and turned away secretly. Jingshu saw all this. It was just eating a biscuit. Is it so exaggerated?

Well, she was so angry that she wanted to cry after eating an egg after rebirth. It's understandable.

Why do these people always take care of this girl carefully? But it's normal. She lost her legs and her whole family died in the disaster. It's really pitiful.

Jun Bao wanted to see the egg, but he watched it disappear from his sight with regret. He blinked and made up his mind: "How difficult and dangerous it is for you to live here. I saw it on the way here. There are more and more quagmires around. According to your location, it won't be long before you are flooded."

"Why don't you follow us out and look for the blessing of the rot? There is boiled water, salt and vitamins there, and you will be given supplies for the winter. In addition, you have your own food source, so you will definitely have a better life out there. It's better than being trapped in this mountain range anyway."

Xiao Wei was stunned on the bed for a while, "Well, that's fine, Brother Wenjun, you and Brother Guotou go find Aunt San and Uncle Liu and ask who wants to go out with you. It's not a big deal to be trapped here. You can follow us."

Jun Bao didn't expect it to be so easy?

Guotou scratched his head, "Xiaowei, if you don't leave, I won't leave either."

Xiaowei's expression dimmed, "How can a useless person like me survive outside? I'll stay here. Anyway, I won't starve to death."

"Then we won't leave. We have already agreed that you saved my life. Wherever you are in the future, we will be there!" Wenjun said.

"But...now it's hard to get someone to enter the mountains."

Wenjun interrupted her: "Old and disabled, even if there are subsidies for corruption, how can people be supported for free? Just like last year, if we want to join the town, we have to pay labor and equivalents. It's better for us to live freely in the mountains. As for how long we can live, living one more day is profitable now."

Then came Jun Bao's excited voice: "Food? What exactly is your food?"

The faces of several people turned ugly.

"Look, you robbed all our food, and we are so nice and don't care, and even want to help you and take you away from here. There are no better people in the world than us. Can you give us some food in exchange? You can't starve us to death? And don't worry, we will never think of taking your food. Do you think I am that kind of person?" As he said, Jun Bao showed his black and dirty mud cloak and took something out of it.

Jingshu frowned. Since entering this house, her bugs dared not approach even more. Is it because of this woman Xiaowei? Jingshu looked at Xiaowei again. There was nothing special. The bed was very big, but a certain part of the quilt would occasionally move. Why?

The most important thing is that when she approached the bed, her space had a little reaction, which was probably related to the black liquid.

Jun Bao took out a box of food from his body, which was a bunch of fruit candies, and put them all in Xiaowei's hands. "I often have hypoglycemia because I don't eat. This is my last food. In exchange, I really want to know how you have solved the problem of food in the past six months." In this cold mountain range where everything is abundant, what else can be food?

The mountain is bare and full of mud. There is no grass or insects. Planting is not feasible. Is it the monster they are talking about?

Xiaowei sighed, "I know that food in the outside world is also very tight. After all, since last year, the town has even less insect cakes, and many people in our village have starved to death. You want to copy our method, right? Unfortunately, it won't work. Well, I robbed your food and took advantage of it. In exchange, I will tell you that there is actually nothing to hide. This is the end of the world. What can't be eaten?"

Even Jingshu began to listen attentively.

"Brother Guotou, take out some of our food for the guests to take away." Xiaowei said.

Guotou scratched his head, "What a waste." He finally went to get a big bag of things and handed them over casually: "There is no fire here, we all eat raw, you can see for yourself, but I suggest you roast it and add some salt to taste barely okay. By the way, I don't know what parts you like to eat, I took some feet, pincers, abdomen, and internal organs."

A fishy smell filled the air, Jingshu couldn't help nausea, but she finally held it back.

Guotou curled his lips: "I knew they disliked it, but it's good to have something to eat."

Jun Bao accepted it as a treasure. For him, eating anything is not eating? Anyway, he would vomit whatever he ate. Oh, he and Jingshu have been eating well recently, but he can always eat some of Jingshu's food.

Jun Bao was right. It looked like some big insects. If it wasn't allowed on the scene, he would want to study it, but they walked all the way, the village was so small, and they didn't see any insects.

Xiaowei ate biscuits and motioned Wenjun to continue explaining.

"This is a newly discovered creature. We call this kind of insect a gastropod. It has thirty-six legs and a large abdomen. The whole body is edible. They are also easy to feed. After the eggs hatch, the larvae can be put into the mud to find food by themselves. They can be mature and edible in one month. The mature gastropods are about one meter long, and the gastropods responsible for the force value can grow to two or three meters."

Jun Bao's eyes became brighter and brighter. This guy is really big, which means that there is enough food! Although the meat in his hand is a bit fishy and smelly, if it can really reproduce in large quantities...

Wen Jun seemed to see Jun Bao's thoughts and interrupted him mercilessly: "Don't think about reproduction, because we only have one." Wen Jun looked at Xiao Wei with difficulty. She was eating biscuits innocently. Hearing this, she smiled and blinked at him, and then said:

"We only have one queen gastropod, and the queen lays all male gastropods, just like ants. There is only one queen ant laying eggs, and the whole ant colony protects the queen." Wen Jun said.

Jun Bao was a little disappointed. "It's a pity that there is only one queen, but..." Jun Bao didn't know what was going on in his mind, and he said, "Can you give us a male gastropod so that we can take it back for research? Oh, by the way, we are going to look for people this time. Once we find people, there will be a lot of food. I am willing to exchange some food for it."
