Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 397 Daily Wasteland Collection (25)

Shen Yao felt that what Cheng Qi said was too absolute. There were many dangers in this world.

Not to mention the distant places, this forest alone is not very peaceful and tranquil.

The system hid in Shen Yao's mind and kept beeping like a loudspeaker, talking about wild boars in the west and marveling at monkeys in the north. It was like suddenly breaking into a primeval forest with a rich and diverse variety of biological species.

"careful!"

The sword held in Cheng Qi's hand was swung out. With a flash of silver light, the arm-length snake was instantly split into two halves and fell to the ground silently.

It is a non-venomous green snake, and the patterns on its body are very similar to its surroundings, so if you are not careful you will be suddenly attacked.

Cheng Qi also measured the snake's degree of mutation and found that highly mutated ones were inedible.

"Walk behind me and call me if you need anything." Cheng Qi, who was slapped in the face for no reason, did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, his expression became more serious.

Shen Yao pursed her lips and nodded. What she disliked most were these mollusks. Song Ling had the same problem as her.

Secretly pulling Cheng Qi's clothes, Shen Yao held the long knife in her hand and stared closely at the surroundings.

The dead branches and leaves on the ground make sounds when you step on them, and you can hear the faint sound of birds singing in your ears.

As they walked slowly, Shen Yao suddenly noticed that a heavy oval object suddenly fell from a tree not far away at high speed. She subconsciously grabbed Cheng Qi's clothes and said, "Don't go over there."

Cheng Qi stopped walking until the heavy object on the tree fell to the ground.

"It's a bird's nest." Patting Shen Yao's arm, Cheng Qi signaled her to relax. "This is the edge of the woods, and there are very few large wild animals."

Shen Yao looked alert as he raised his head to look in the direction of the bird's nest, but unfortunately he was blocked by the lush leaves around him and could not notice what was going on.

The two finally came to the side of the bird's nest. They felt magical when they saw the bird's nest that was as long and wide as a person and the unbroken bird eggs inside.

After making sure that the bird's nest was not dangerous and the eggs inside could be tested, Shen Yao took out the testing needle and heard two beeps, all of which showed low-level mutations.

“It’s a magpie egg”

Did the cuckoo occupy the magpie's nest? Or was it just a normal feud between birds, which resulted in the bird's nest being torn down from the tree.

"Let's go, we're going to catch wild goats." No matter what the magpie eggs are, it will not affect their next arrangements.

Shen Yao hummed twice when she heard this and put a few magpie eggs in the basket behind her to prevent them from being broken. She also gathered some thick leaves to pad them.

The two walked forward for about half an hour and found a small pond.

Cheng Qi contacted Brother Cheng and Shen Yu through the watch to inquire about the situation.

After making sure that the three of them were around the pool, they decided to meet in the center.

"There are traces on the ground ahead. Are they footprints left by wild goats?"

There must be animals living around the water pool because water is an essential resource. If there are animals such as wild goats, this is their favorite place to come.

Cheng Qi looked in the direction Shen Yao pointed and compared the hoof prints left behind. "It's a wild deer."

This is good news, as both wild goats and wild deer are the prey they are looking for.

Now that traces of activity have been found near the pond, it means that these animals are most likely living nearby. Whether we sit and wait or look for them separately, the success rate will inevitably increase.

The three groups came to the center and met up, and Cheng Qi told them about their discoveries by the pond.

After some discussion, they finally decided that the Shen family would stay behind, while the three members of the Cheng family and Cheng Qi and Shen Yao would go out to look for them.

"Just search around the traces for an hour. If you find one, send a message. If you can't find any, come back and wait. If there is anything found in the pond, notify me in time."

Hunting is usually something that only those with genetic awakening can do.

After the mutation, the animal became several times larger in size. No matter how shy it was, an ordinary person would not be able to withstand a collision.

Shen Yao had seen a close-up photo of a wild goat on a forum. Well, it was as tall as a horse in modern society, especially with its horns. If it was poked, it would definitely bleed and die.

Brother Cheng made this allocation to ensure that both teams have two gene-awakened people who can hunt, and warriors who can both carry and run, to ensure the safety of both sides to the greatest extent possible.

Shen Yu had no objection. He chose a tree about ten meters away from the pond and pulled out a few branches for camouflage.

Song Ling told Shen Yao to be careful and gave her her self-defense tools.

Shen Yao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She showed off the treasures on her body, asked Song Ling to help her hold a few bird eggs, then turned around and left with Cheng Qi.

The five people were divided into three directions. The two men placed the three women in the middle. They dispersed in a V-shape throughout the process, trying their best to search for the traces of the wild deer while ensuring the safety of Shen Yao and the other two.

"Look, there's movement ahead."

Zhao Xue suddenly pointed to a bush that had just moved.

"Be careful, let's go there quietly," Mother Cheng grabbed Zhao Xue's wrist and told Shen Yao who was walking in front to slow down.

"It's okay, there's no danger around," Shen Yao shook her head which was annoyed by the noise from the system, and tried her best to suppress her dizzy expression.

He pushed aside the bushes with his bare hands and walked carefully along the edge.

The three of them saw a small herd of wild deer, including adult deer and young deer, who were leisurely grazing on the surrounding wild grass and fruits.

The three were shocked and covered their mouths to try to speak. Shen Yao muted her watch and secretly took a photo and sent it to Cheng Qi along with the location.

"Go back and wait for Cheng Qi and the others to come."

The three of them were no match for this group of wild deer. The young deer were almost as tall as them, and the adult deer were even more terrifying. Moreover, deer have antlers, and the thought of being poked by one of them was enough to make them feel painful.

Zhao Xue and Cheng Ma nodded, and the three of them came and left quietly, and soon returned behind the bushes.

After looking at each other, Zhao Xue couldn't help but get excited. "With so many deer, just catching one would be enough to eat."

"Wild deer are not easy to catch. It depends on the arrangements of the boss. However, the base has been buying live fawns at high prices. I saw a few newborn fawns in the herd," Cheng Ma and Zhao Xue were chatting happily. They had a plan before they even started. Shen Yao was embarrassed to hear this. Was she thinking too much?

After wiping the sweat off their face, Cheng Qi and Brother Cheng arrived quickly. They sneaked around the bushes to observe the situation of the deer, and decided that they could not wait for Shen Yu and the others to come over, and had to take action first to prevent the wild deer from escaping.

"What can we do?"

Mother Cheng and Zhao Xue looked at Brother Cheng eagerly, while Shen Yao remained calm and waited for Cheng Qi to make arrangements.

"You guys wait here. The second brother and I will set up a few simple traps. If the deer fall for it, you will be responsible for catching them. If the deer escape successfully, forget it."

He did not ask the three men to follow them hunting, nor did he emphasize that they must catch wild deer. Brother Cheng took out the rope he brought and tied it around several thick trees nearby.

Cheng Qi took out the shovel from his backpack, dug a simple shallow ditch, and buried some gravel in it. Then the two brothers entered the bushes and prepared to hunt.

Shen Yao and the other two chose to hide behind a tree and wait for the herd of deer to arrive with Cheng Qi and Brother Cheng.

Shen Yu was contacting Shen Yao through his watch. They had received news about the herd of deer and were trying to catch up.

However, because the two sides are a bit far apart, it will probably take more than ten minutes to get there.

Shen Yao briefly explained the situation of the deer herd, saying that they had made sufficient preparations and told Shen Yu not to worry and just wait for them to come over.

Shen Yu: ...He is anxious.

When a piece of delicious fresh meat is placed in front of you, no one will not be tempted.

Brother Cheng and Cheng Qi moved swiftly. They swung the swords in their hands and rushed towards the doe like an arrow.

The antlers of male deer are too scary, and the young deer are too small to have much meat. After choosing among them, only female deer are the most cost-effective.

The quiet herd of deer became noisy because of the two uninvited guests.

Deer are herbivorous animals that are afraid of humans. Even if they have grown taller heads, they still dare not become enemies with humans.

So the next second after encountering danger, the stag led the rest of the deer to run away.

When Brother Cheng saw that this was not going to work, he quickly picked up stones on the ground and threw them over, trying to drive the deer that were running away back in the direction they came from.

The surroundings were in a mess, and the already damaged weeds and fruits looked even more miserable.

Cheng Qi focused on the doe in his hand and stabbed it hard in the neck. Then he wiped his face and looked around.

"Let them run away!"

Wild deer have long legs and can run very fast, so they would never be caught if they hadn't attacked by surprise.

"Brother, go back first," one of them grabbed a fat doe.

Cheng Qi made a simple test and was lucky enough to eat both.

Brother Cheng grinned, his originally serious expression revealing a bright smile, "There is no shortage of meat during this period."

After removing the inedible parts of the two female deer, the three families would have several hundred kilograms no matter how they divided it. Even if the gene-awakened people were able to eat, they would be able to last for a while.

The two brothers carried the doe back. Because the doe was bleeding from its wounds, the smell of blood was strong around them.

Shen Yao and the other two waited and waited, but no deer came. Instead, Shen Yu and the other two came.

Helping Song Ling sit down and rest, Shen Yao explained that work was still going on.

"Your brother and I will go over and take a look. You guys wait here first," Shen Jiancheng said. He pulled Shen Yu around the cheap trap and soon ran into the Cheng Qi brothers behind the bushes.

"Is this the caught deer?" Shen Jiancheng's eyes lit up and his gaze looked behind the two men.

Cheng Qi smiled and handed the doe to Shen Yu. "The herd of deer ran away. We can't catch up. Let's go back first."

Deer are smarter than most animals. They only had time to catch the mother deer that started the attack first, but not the others, not even their fawns.

"It's not a loss, the meat from these two venisons can be eaten, and it's worth the trip we made today."

Shen Jiancheng helped Brother Cheng to share the pressure. The four of them decided that they could not carry the deer back like this, and they should first return to the pond to simply clean up the deer's body.

The two female deer were carried back by four people, triggering cheers one after another.

Cheng Ma and Song Ling were reluctant to move their eyes away and stared at it with curiosity.

"Do you want to go first or take a rest?" Mother Cheng felt sorry for her two sons at home.

"Let's go. The smell of blood here is lingering and it may easily attract some animals that are difficult to deal with." They had just exhausted their physical strength and would be at a disadvantage if they continued to fight.

Brother Cheng put his hands on his hips, panted heavily, finished his words, and then leaned against the tree and closed his eyes.

Cheng Qi was not much behind Brother Cheng. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to kill the deer, and even with the help of Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu, it didn't ease the situation much.

Seeing this, Shen Yu suggested that they walk slowly, and he and others went ahead to clean up the doe's body.

"I think it's okay. You guys can take your time. We have enough time. There's no need to rush back."

Mother Cheng pushed Cheng Qi, wanting her younger son to rest with her.

Cheng Qi shook his head helplessly, and Shen Yao came over and held his arm.

"I smell like blood." Knowing that Shen Yao didn't like this smell, Cheng Qi wanted to stay away from her, but Shen Yao pulled him back. "It's okay. I'll help you walk."

Zhao Xue also supported Brother Cheng, and the four of them fell behind.

"Oh, the rope."

The trap that was set was not used and the rope was left there without being pulled in.

Shen Yao took out a machete, cut the rope, and put it in the backpack.

After finishing everything, Shen Yao held Cheng Qi's arm and walked forward without stopping, "Let's go back to the pond."

Cheng period:......

Zhao Xue and Brother Cheng and his wife walked together. They felt relieved to see Shen Yao and Cheng Qi interacting.

The interpersonal relationships in the mutated world are difficult to describe, but there is still true affection between relatives.

Brothers Cheng Da Ge and Cheng Qi are rarely dirty with each other. Both sides try their best to maintain their relationship, fearing that any misunderstanding will cause their relationship to fade.

For example, if they did not trust each other when they went out hunting today, how could they have successfully harvested two doe deer?

After walking for about half an hour, the four returned to the original pool.

Mother Cheng stood not far away and waved to them, with a smile on her face as if something good had happened.

"We just came back and encountered two wild goats. We even caught one alive."

Mother Cheng acted as if she had stolen a treasure. She kept her eyes and ears open while speaking, for fear that others would overhear her and expose something.

"Caught a live one?" Zhao Xue flattered him, letting go of Brother Cheng's arm and walking up to Mother Cheng to compliment her, "Mom, you guys are awesome."

Mother Cheng was proud of it. "Of course not, but it was Xiaoyu who did the hard work. Young people react quickly. By the time we got there, both wild goats had already fallen to the ground and couldn't get up."

The jumping ability of the genetically awakened ones is so strong that they can run several meters away in an instant.

It’s not like Mother Cheng hasn’t seen a gene awakener take action before, but this is the first time she’s seen someone like Shen Yu do it without any hesitation.

The more she looked, the more she liked her. Cheng Ma made up her mind to help Shen Yu introduce a good girl.

It’s a pity that I don’t have a suitable child at home, otherwise he would be a good partner.

The five people walked towards the pond together, and saw the carcasses of wild deer and wild goats neatly laid out by the pond. The captured wild goats were bleating, and it sounded a bit pitiful.

The wild goat that was captured alive was quite large, but judging from its horns, it was still a young goat.

"Take it back and sell it to the base?" Shen Yao touched the thick wool of the wild goat. It was soft, smooth and elastic, and was an excellent material for keeping warm.

"The base doesn't allow us to keep animals alive, so they are more valuable if we sell them than if we kill them."

Cheng Qi simply estimated the weight of the wild goat. According to the points exchange ratio, he would get more points if he sold it to the base alive.

"Well, we'll sell them to the base, and we'll keep the other two wild deer and one wild goat for ourselves," or make them into jerky and simply store them, and the older jerky can be sold.
