Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 616: Catching the Monster Cat Alive
The woman was caught off guard when her calf was tickled, and she immediately fell to the ground and screamed.
Just when the cat monster bared its teeth and wanted to run away, it was slammed to the ground with a shovel.
Perhaps it was because the shovel hit the cat monster with too much force, causing it to fall to the ground and become unable to move.
"Good job, Lao Chen. You are indeed a power-type mutant. The shovel was really fierce. But you should be more ruthless to this kind of beast. If this damn thing continues to hide in the cornfield, I don't know how many people will be injured."
One of them looked angrily at the two-headed cat monster lying on the ground gasping with its mouth wide open.
"Aunt Feng, are you okay?" A slightly younger woman asked with concern, helping a woman who had just fallen to the ground after being scratched to sit on a ridge on the side of the field.
"Aunt Feng was scratched just now?" Old Xu walked forward and looked the woman up and down, only to discover that the woman's pants were torn by the cat monster.
In this kind of weather, the woman wore three pairs of trousers, the outermost of which was a pair of thick cotton trousers, but it was still scratched by the cat monster, which shows how sharp its claws must be.
The woman called Aunt Feng kept shouting “Ouch, ouch” and looked to be in great pain.
Gu Tongwan's brows tightened, and then he noticed that the woman's face was terribly pale.
The young woman took out a sickle from her waist. Aunt Feng almost fainted when she saw it. She quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Xiao Zhou, what are you doing?"
"Aunt Feng, I'm going to cut open your pants to see how the wound is. It would be bad if the wound gets infected."
After being scratched by an animal, you must get a rabies vaccine. In the apocalypse, there are many mutated animals and incidents of attacks on humans are endless, so a specific vaccine is needed for treatment. This vaccine is not cheap. Three injections will cost at least thousands of points, which is equivalent to two months' income for an ordinary person. Therefore, Aunt Feng's misfortune this time is completely unprovoked.
Aunt Feng felt sorry for her newly bought cotton trousers and couldn't bear to see them torn. But she glanced at the people who were gathering around, most of whom were men.
"Aunt Feng, it won't look good if you take off your pants here, and I see it's difficult to roll up your trouser legs. It won't be good if you send her to the health center now or waste time going home. Let me take a look at you first." The woman and Aunt Feng were neighbors. They helped each other with farm work, and their relationship had always been harmonious. At this moment, she was really worried about Aunt Feng's health.
Aunt Feng looked at the others and suddenly felt a piercing pain in her calf.
At this time, someone couldn't bear to see her hesitating, so he urged her, "Aunt Feng, let Xiaohua take a look at you quickly. What if your whole leg is broken if you delay it?"
"No, it's not that serious. I was just scratched." Aunt Feng didn't know if she was scared or in pain, her face turned pale and her voice became increasingly weak.
"Aunt Feng, we really can't delay this. This two-headed cat monster seems to be poisonous." Lao Xu also advised.
Aunt Feng looked at the woman, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Xiaohua, go ahead, but don't cut too hard. I, Aunt Feng, have lost many pairs of pants."
The woman named Xiaohua was at a loss for words at this moment. She could only respond, "Hey, don't worry. I'll try to take it easy."
After saying that, Xiaohua immediately and carefully cut a hole in Aunt Feng's pants with a sickle. Then she threw the sickle and pulled the cloth to both sides with extremely swift movements. A bloody hole about three or four centimeters long immediately appeared in everyone's sight.
The wound wasn't too deep, but the blood had already coagulated and turned black.
"What is this?" Xiaohua had never seen such a situation before. She then raised her head and looked at other people, trying to find out from someone what to do now.
Gu Tong squatted down before the night fell, looked at the wound carefully for a while and said, "It needs to be disinfected with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide first, and then it needs to be sent to the health center immediately. If it is delayed, the toxin is likely to spread to the nerves, and then the whole body will be paralyzed, shortness of breath, or even shock reaction will occur."
"Toxin?" Xiaohua was surprised by the sudden appearance of the unfamiliar girl in front of her, but then she thought of the wound that had turned into a black blood scab and realized that the mutant animal was poisonous.
"This is a two-headed cat monster. I've seen this thing near Hai City before. It's full of toxins, even its saliva is poisonous. If you want to touch it, it's best to use something else. Otherwise, you'll get itchy all over your body at best, or you might suffocate and go into shock at worst. Its meat can't be eaten either. Eating it will cause your intestines to rot soon after."
"Who is this girl? She doesn't seem to be from our camp."
"Why do you care who they are? Those who can enter the camp are most likely relatives of someone, or they just came in recently. There are so many people coming in and out of our camp every day, how can you know them all?"
Some people in the crowd questioned Gu Tongwan's identity, but there were also those who disagreed.
Aunt Feng was so frightened that she couldn't control her whole body. "Poisoned? Will I die? Girl, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Are you trying to trick me into going to the clinic and wasting money?" Aunt Feng was a nice person at ordinary times, but she was very stingy. Not only to others, but also to herself. She was always thinking about saving money, so she was extremely frugal on weekdays, and after the end of the world, she was even more frugal.
"Aunt Feng, no matter whether this thing is poisonous or not, it is a mutant animal after all. It's terrible to be scratched by it. Besides, I see that your wound seems to have changed color. It's better to see a doctor."
"No, no, it's so expensive to go to the clinic. Last time, my daughter-in-law had a cold and a fever, so she insisted on going to the clinic. In the end, she spent more than 300 points and only got back six pills and a bottle of medicine. This is simply a rip-off of our money. It would be better to give her some folk remedies." Aunt Feng got angry when she thought of this. She always felt that her daughter-in-law came to her family to suck blood. In the past, her son spent almost the price of a TV to marry her, and gave her family several thousand points. Even so, her family was not satisfied and had to give her family another 200 kilograms of rice to make it count. The whole family was a reincarnation of vampires.
Xiao Hua knew that Aunt Feng was worried about the money, so she patiently continued to persuade her, "Aunt Feng, this is not a trivial matter. Lift your legs and see if you can still move them."
Aunt Feng actually had no feeling in the leg that was scratched. It didn't hurt or itch. She saw that although there was a black scab on the wound on her calf, it was no longer bleeding. So she gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay. I have a folk remedy that can reduce inflammation. Last time, I got some herbal medicine from Old Liu. This herbal medicine can be used externally or internally. I can just apply hot compress to reduce inflammation and relieve pain." Seeing Xiaohua moving her lips and wanting to speak, she waved her hand quickly, "It's okay. Otherwise, going to the health center will just give me a little disinfection. Isn't this the same as using herbal medicine? I'll observe it for a night. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Dachengzi to take me to the health center to get that vaccine tomorrow."
Seeing that Aunt Feng insisted on her own opinion, Xiaohua had to give up trying to persuade her and could only temporarily follow another young man to send Aunt Feng back home.
The entire cornfield covers more than ten acres, but two such two-headed cat monsters suddenly appeared, which really made the people working in the fields feel uneasy and even caused panic.
Everyone had already had all kinds of suspicions after the crops were severely damaged, and now there were mutated animals that they had never seen before. Some people were clamoring to go to the camp government to report the situation.
"So what should we do with this thing? It should have just been knocked unconscious temporarily, but it doesn't look dead to me."
"Tie him up with a rope?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear the little girl say that this thing is very poisonous? If you dare to touch it directly, I won't dare to do it. Besides, what if you wake up suddenly after laughing and bite you, wouldn't that be a disaster?"
"But we can't just leave it alone, right? Once it wakes up, it will run away, right?"
"How about this, I have a sack here. Those of us with gloves can start by tying up its limbs. Oh, and it's best to block its mouth, because I see its teeth are very sharp, and my sack won't withstand bites."
"Yeah, hey, who can lend a hand?" one of the big men shouted.
After shouting for a long time, no one was willing to stand up, so the big guy rolled up his sleeves and sneered, "No one or two of you are willing, right? Well, I won't do it either. The worst that can happen is that a few more people will get hurt while doing farm work later."
"Let me do it, let me do it. It's just a mutant animal. We've seen it before. But it should be okay if I wear gloves, right?" One of the middle-aged men seemed a little bluffing at first, but then he looked at Lao Xu. Because Lao Xu was the one who discovered the two-headed cat monster at the beginning, most people subconsciously thought that Lao Xu might know more about this cat monster.
Old Xu first glanced at Gu Tongwan, then repeated what Gu Tongwan had mentioned before and reminded him again: "We just need to be careful."
What Lao Xu said was quite convincing. Several men immediately put on gloves and tied up the cat monster's limbs as carefully as possible before stuffing it into a sack.
"So what should we do next?" someone asked.
"Someone has just gone to find the security team. I think we should just wait for now." said another person.
"The fields are not safe either. What if the two-headed cat monster appears again while we are working? I think we should go back today." Lao Xu looked at the sacks rising and falling on the ground, which meant that the cat monster was still breathing and not completely dead, so he suggested to everyone to stop farm work temporarily.
"It will take at least half an hour for the security team to arrive, so let's not disperse yet. Lao Xu is right, it's not safe to stay in the fields. Let's just stand in the ridges and wait." The man who had knocked the cat monster unconscious with a shovel thought for a while before looking at the dozen or so people who had gathered around him.
"Old Li is right. We should not stay in the fields for now. It would be terrible if something bad happened."
"Sister Wanwan, what should we do now?" Lan Qin was actually curious about this two-headed cat monster, but she also knew that it was not safe here now. After all, she didn't know how many strange creatures like this there were in the fields.
Gu Tongwan patted her head and comforted her: "Don't worry, since they have already notified the security team, they should know the result soon." After that, he glanced at the crowd still discussing nearby, and then said to Lan Cen: "We have been out for a while, let's go back."
The two of them had been out for about an hour, and it was now completely light. Although they had told Chen Yanxi about what happened when they came out, Liao Yunyun and Xiaoli were people who loved to be around, so when they woke up and knew that she and Lan Cen were not in the room, they would definitely want to go out and meet them. It would be terrible if they accidentally walked into the farmland here.
The two did not stop and walked back directly. When they were halfway back, they found Liao Yunyun and Xiaoli in front of them standing on a farmland and chatting with someone. The people they were chatting with were none other than Cai Min and his wife and Cai's father.
"Well, you guys finally came back. You left early in the morning without telling us. When I woke up, I didn't see you and we were worried for nothing." Liao Yunyun went up to complain, and Xiaoli also joined in: "That's right, don't leave me and Yunyun behind when you go out to play next time."
"But Sister Xiaoli, don't you usually sleep until almost eleven o'clock? When I call you to get up, you always say you want to sleep a little longer." Lan Cen muttered softly, which immediately made Xiaoli glare at him fiercely, and the little girl quickly shut her mouth obediently.
"Who told you two to sleep in? And I've called you before, but you were so sleepy that you couldn't get up at all." Gu Tongwan raised his eyebrows and stated the facts slowly.
Liao Yunyun frowned and asked, "What time did you get up?"
"About half past five." Gu Tongwan answered truthfully.
Liao Yunyun was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, please don't bring me with you to activities before 7:30 in the future. You did the right thing today, keep it up."
After a few people chatted for a while, Cai Min held a handful of sweet potato leaves in his hand, his whole expression was very heavy: "The sweet potato leaves of three acres of land have been damaged to varying degrees. I estimate that our family's harvest in the first quarter of this year will not meet the target."
Xu Xuesong patted his wife's shoulder and consoled her: "From what I understand, it's not just our farmland that has been damaged. Others have suffered the same damage as well. The battalion commander should be able to handle the situation."
Gu Tongwan saw that the condition of the Cai family's farmland was basically the same as the other farmlands she had seen along the way, all of which showed signs of being crushed, so she mentioned the matter of the two-headed monster cat.
"I do know that kind of cat. My brother encountered one in the mountains when he was on a mission outside. The two-headed cat he described was at least the size of a brown bear. He also said that the two-headed cat seemed to understand human commands, as if it had been specially trained."
That was more than a year ago. Whenever Cai Min thought of the "story" told by Cai Xing, he would always feel a chill rising behind it.
