After the fog, I became a birdman

The next day, Su Qing got up in the morning and turned the meat over to continue marinating.

When I was in the village before, because the weather here is not considered north, if the people in the village want to marinate a lot of bacon, they will dry it before the big cold. After the winter solstice, they will marinate for seven days and dry for three days. Great cold, this kind of bacon is the best.

Of course, bacon can also be made after the Great Cold, the meat will not be spoiled, but the color and taste will be worse.

It's not yet the Spring Festival, the weather shouldn't get hot anytime soon, so Su Qing is not in a hurry.

After brushing his teeth, Su Qing fed Shanshan, took out two grapefruits, a few oranges, and a few apples, chopped up all the peels, and then took out the pine and cypress branches from the space and put them on the cutting board to chop them even more finely. Add pine and cypress branches, mix some spices and put them in bags for later use.

Their smoked bacon usually uses pine and cypress branches and several kinds of peels, but Su Qing is afraid of revealing the stuffing, so she dare not take out the branches in a clear way, so she can only chop them up and use them again.

Of course, bones such as bacon and pork ribs cannot be marinated for that long, so you have to start smoking today.

Now there is thick fog outside, no one will see what he is doing, Su Qing hangs the meat with bones and sausages on the rack, puts an iron basin under it, lights the charcoal and puts a few pieces of wood, and waits When the fire was almost burning, the spices in the bag were poured up again, and the smoke soon came out.

Fearing that the room would be full of smoke, Su Qing covered the shelf with a thick black plastic film, and dragged the long plastic film to the ground, leaving only the outside to let the smoke escape, so that there is no need to worry about the balcony being full of smoke.

Su Qing closed the balcony door, drew the curtains and went to cook. Afraid that Qi Jiang would look at the bacon and find the fresh fruit inside, Su Qing packed breakfast in a food box and sent it over, pretending that he was tired and wanted to rest, and did not Ask Qi Jiang to come and eat.

The fog was about to clear at noon, so Su Qing went to the balcony to see how the smoked meat was doing, nodded slightly when she saw the color was good, and went back to the house to look at the bone soup boiled in the pot.

I ate pork liver last night, and today I made bone soup. Su Qing filled a small half bowl and came out to taste the taste. There are not many vegetables in his house that can be used for soup. There is only one corn, and there are not many. It is estimated that the bones in the refrigerator After cooking the soup, I also finished eating.

I made lard last night, and there is still half a handful of mustard greens left in the mustard porridge in the morning. I fry the mustard greens with lard, and the lunch meal is ready.

The fresh fruit peels were all blackened, Su Qing felt relieved, and asked Qi Jiang to come over for dinner, because the curtains were open, Qi Jiang quickly noticed the balcony: "Why are you pulling the curtains?"

"I'm smoking bacon." Su Qing filled a bowl of rice, saw that Qi Jiang wanted to go to the balcony and said, "Let's see it tomorrow morning, the smoke will come in later."

Qi Jiang turned around and went back to eat. Seeing that the dishes on the table were richer than before, he felt that the meat he bought yesterday was not a loss.

However, take it easy next time, after all, he doesn't know how to do it, and Su Qing will suffer in the end.

After eating, it was almost time, Qi Jiang was going to line up to buy vegetables, Su Qing gave him his ID card: "Brother Jiang, see if there are white radishes or lotus roots, buy them and make soup."

Qi Jiang wrote it down and went out, Su Qing closed the door and ate the apples he had peeled all morning, and continued to peel the apples to prepare pickled spices in the kitchen.

At twelve o'clock in the noon, the fog dissipated on time. Su Qing opened the balcony and took a look. Seeing that there was not much smoke coming out, he closed the curtains with confidence.

After sitting in the room for a while, Su Qing suddenly heard panicked voices from outside, he pricked up his ears to listen again, and only heard a few words vaguely.

"This world still makes it impossible for people to live."

"If there is no electricity, you have to cut down the trees. There are so many bugs in the soil. Isn't this forcing people to die?"

"Disinfectant water can't kill them, so what should we do? This soil is full of them."

After listening to a few words, Su Qing felt that what everyone was talking about was the dark soil red worm. It might be true that the dark soil red worm had really mutated as he and Qi Jiang guessed before.

Su Qing got up and poured disinfectant in the house and on the balcony and sprayed it again, even the firewood in the second bedroom was not spared.

However, no bugs have been found in his room so far, so Su Qing is not very worried.

Without Su Qing delaying the time, Qi Jiang bought the vegetables in less than one o'clock and brought back some news.

A notice was posted at the food distribution point, announcing the existence of the second-generation dark soil red worm, which immediately caused panic.

Over the past few days, the number of people infected with parasites has increased visibly with the naked eye, and the second-generation dark soil red worm was definitely found in the hospital.

When the number of dark soil red worms in the first generation is large enough and no suitable host is found, they will directly parasitize larvae and eggs, or devour each other, and metamorphose like raising Gu.

The second-generation dark soil red worm has a certain degree of toxicity, and more disinfection drugs are needed to wash it to stun the second-generation worm. Although there is no way to kill it, it can also be washed away after being stunned, but more drugs need to be used. .

The good news is that because the second-generation dark soil red worms have a greater desire for life than reproduction, they only leave eggs before death, so if they have just been infected, it is easier to deal with than the first generation.

However, if the infection lasts for a long time, the toxicity will deepen, which may cause the host to coma.

After the host is in a coma, it will stimulate the desire of the second generation of insects to reproduce, so it must be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easily regarded as a breeding ground, and the result is self-evident.

Generally speaking, the threat of the second generation is much higher than that of the first generation, but as long as you pay more attention, you will be fine.

The second thing is the census. After being driven and hunted by the army, the mutated animals in the city are expected to be wiped out before the 25th, so a census will be conducted in these two days, the most important thing is to register the information of the mutated pets at home.

The third thing is also related to the mutated pet. Starting tomorrow, the excrement of the mutated pet will be collected in a designated place, and the specific function will not be said for the time being.

The fourth thing is the power supply. They will restore the power supply on the 25th. Since there are not enough electricians in Fengcheng, the emergency repair work after the power outage will be arranged in the order of reporting.

The fifth thing is the gossip that Qi Jiang heard, which means material control, that is to say, all the materials in Fengcheng will be distributed by the government in the future. Although the authenticity has yet to be confirmed, Qi Jiang believes in this. .

"I'm going to inquire again in the next two days, and I may stock up on another wave of disinfectant." Qi Jiang said while drinking water, "Su Qing, do you want to buy it?"

Su Qing didn't want Qi Jiang to help him carry things again, so she shook her head slightly: "No need."

Qi Jiang didn't persuade him, he has half a foot in the house now, and he bought more for Su Qing, sometimes it's hard to tell who owns too many shared things.

But... even the blood relationship can be severed, he has to be careful before he hugs the beauty back, don't get too complacent.

They finished their lunch amid the faint sound of gunfire in the distance. Qi Jiang said that he would not come back for dinner tonight, and he might not come back until noon on the 25th. Su Qing made another dinner for him, because Qi Jiang was waiting here. So the dinner is relatively simple, just a simple fried pork and fried vegetables, not even soup.

However, Qi Jiang already felt very good, let him prepare it by himself, then it is better to eat instant noodles or eat canned food.

In the afternoon, Su Qing stayed at home alone again, and he had nothing else to do, but was thinking about what Qi Jiang just said.

Material control is a more serious signal, and Su Qing counts the materials in the space with some anxiety.

His supplies are well prepared, but there are still some things that he didn't prepare and he didn't think there was any need to worry about them before.

Since it is necessary to control materials, the scope of the purchase restriction order must be greatly increased. He thinks that the things that can be bought with money now will be useful in the future. Naturally, he will not miss the last opportunity.

Su Qing couldn't help thinking of the dream he had before, although he couldn't remember it clearly, but there was always an ominous atmosphere, and he always felt breathless every time he thought about it.

After counting the supplies, Su Qing had already thought about what he would buy for the last batch of supplies, and was ready to set off when it was safe outside.

At noon on the 24th, Su Qing took his and Qi Jiang's ID cards and lined up to buy groceries in the afternoon.

He came earlier, because he knew there was no danger outside, so he came over before the thick fog cleared, and he was directly ranked first.

When the thick fog cleared at noon, the staff living in the food distribution point opened the door and pasted a piece of paper on the door, which said two things.

First, the recorded mutated animals in the city have all been hunted and driven away. From now on, the army will patrol the city to look for fish that slip through the net. Fengcheng is basically safe, and citizens can go out with confidence, but please do not go to certain places remote places to avoid danger.

Second, starting from tomorrow, a community volunteer team will be established to conduct a census in Fengcheng City. Those who have mutated pets at home must be registered. The volunteer team will come to collect the urine and feces of mutated pets every day.

"Why do you collect the urine of mutated pets?" A few people behind looked at the staff at the door curiously, as if they wanted to explain.

However, the staff did not say a word, and everyone looked at Brother Bing at the door. He also stood as straight as a javelin, and did not explain this.

"Isn't it like enclosing territory like in the animal world?" Someone opened his mind, but he didn't believe this argument.

"Impossible, this is not the animal world, we are humans and not animals."

"Why use the urine of mutated pets? The animal world enclosure is also a group, and these pets are not of the same species."

"It's not research, is it?"

"Before there were so many stray cats and dogs, wouldn't it be enough to catch a mutated one?"

"Then what do you say it's used for? It can't be used for food, right?"

"Damn, you're so disgusting."

Everyone couldn't discuss why, and people came to line up one after another, all crowded at the door to read the notice, but it only took about 5 minutes before the door of the food distribution point opened, and everyone rushed in.

Su Qing didn't dare to run, took a shopping basket from the door and walked to the back, thinking about the notice all the time.

In fact, he felt that what the first person said was right, the enclosure of the animal world.

Su Qing recalled the conversations he had heard after leaving the hospital. In fact, those conversations had exposed a message. Guns could not cause fatal damage to mutated animals, or human beings' reaction ability was not as good as that of animals, so they couldn't hit them.

The threat of humans to mutated animals has been reduced, and there is nothing to do with mutated animals. The status of human overlord will inevitably change. If it is really necessary to enclose territory, then the situation will suffer.

You must know that in the past, only animals hid from people, and when they didn't see people, they used some excrement to enclose their territory.

If human beings really want to participate in the law of the jungle and compete in the biological chain like animals...

In any case, these are not without traces, and there are already signs, Su Qing does not want to deceive himself, mutated animals have appeared, and he has mutated, so what else can he lie to himself?

He was inherently weaker than ordinary people, Su Qing knew very well that he had no time to deceive himself and others, and had to make more preparations to survive.

In addition to supplies, according to his body, it is best to find suitable companions to support each other...

Thinking of this, Qi Jiang's figure flashed in Su Qing's mind, and he clenched his hands slightly, thinking whether he should give himself another layer of insurance.
