After waiting patiently for a few minutes, there was still no movement on the information panel, which made Li Kai begin to doubt.
Does it mean that you can only get evolution points by killing zombies?
Just when Li Kai was doubting himself, he heard the originally quiet shelf behind suddenly vibrate violently, accompanied by the screams of the acid-spraying rat and the sizzling corrosion sound after the strong acid was sprayed.
"…He's not dead after all!"
Li Kai broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had enough composure and did not rush over, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
"This thing is playing dead!"
He understood in his heart and became even more wary of these monsters.
After waiting patiently for a few minutes, the area behind the container finally became quiet again. At the same time, the evolution points on the information panel increased by 2 points.
The acid-spewing rat was really dead this time.
Seeing this situation, Li Kai walked around the container and went back to the back.
"What a big rat..."
After all, he didn't look at it carefully just now. Now Li Kai looked at the corpse on the ground that was bigger than a cat, and he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
Because this acid-breathing rat is not only huge in size, but also has extremely sharp claws.
The black, iron-like claws are two or three centimeters long, like sharp little hooks. The wooden box below is scratched with deep claw marks, and sawdust is scattered all over the ground.
In addition, it has a mouthful of densely packed fangs, which are even more powerful than its claws.
Li Kai clearly saw that the iron shelves of the shelves were all bitten to pieces by the sharp teeth of the acid-spewing rat.
It was obvious that the acid-spewing rat had just been grinding its teeth on the metal brackets of the shelves.
Plus, this monster has the terrifying ability to spray strong acid.
"If we were to face off head-on, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything to this acid-spewing rat right now."
Li Kai's eyelids twitched.
Even a mouse is so powerful. This world is really dangerous.
What follows is a long wait.
The replenishment speed of the black fog is actually not too slow, but being in this dangerous environment and being in danger at any time, every minute and every second becomes extremely difficult for Li Kai.
This is what it means to live a year in a day.
What was even more unbearable was that Li Kai felt hungry again.
"I should have eaten something before coming here... Why are you getting hungry so quickly? How long has it been?"
Li Kai touched his rumbling stomach and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
It has been just over two hours since lunch, so I shouldn't be hungry so early. I don't know if it's because I've consumed too much energy after so many battles.
I had prepared some portable food, but I didn't bring it with me because I thought I could return at any time...
"…"
Li Kai let out a long breath and could only blame himself for his bad luck.
He decided to learn from his lesson and always carry some food with him in the future, in case of any accidents like today, he could replenish his energy in time.
Still no experience.
Originally, Li Kai wanted to just endure it, after all, being hungry would pass after a while.
But he soon found out that he had misjudged the situation. After enduring for a while, the hunger not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense. He was so hungry that he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Damn...why are you so hungry?"
Li Kai gasped and felt his stomach cramping.
In this abnormally hungry state, his eyes glanced and fell on the corpse of the acid-spitting rat.
Gurgle!
In an instant, a large amount of saliva was secreted, and Li Kai swallowed hard.
Is this edible?
This was his first thought.
Intellectually, he was extremely resistant to the meat of this unknown creature, but the problem was that he was really too hungry.
Never mind, eat!
Li Kai could no longer bear the hunger in his stomach, so he climbed up from the ground, went to the body of the acid-spitting rat, and started cutting the meat on it with a cold steel hunting knife.
The flesh on the acid-spewing rat is very tough, and it is quite difficult to cut it. Fortunately, this Cold Steel hunting knife is a new one I just bought, and it is currently in its sharpest condition. If I use a duller ordinary kitchen knife, it will take several times more effort.
Li Kai, who had been alone since childhood, had a lot of hands-on experience in cooking. In addition, his strength had greatly increased, so he cut off several large pieces of rat meat in no time. Then he found some wood, made a small fire, and began to roast the rat meat.
"Luckily I brought a lighter."
Li Kai was roasting the rat meat, feeling thankful.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, he is unwilling to eat raw meat. Who knows how many viruses and parasites the animals in this world carry?
As the rat meat was gradually cooked, the rich aroma of the meat quickly spread, making Li Kai's saliva secrete even more.
Although the smell of the meat was a little unbearable for him, Li Kai still forced himself to suppress it and waited patiently until he felt that the rat meat was indeed thoroughly roasted, and then he began to eat.
To be honest, roasted rat meat without any seasoning is not very delicious at all, but Li Kai ate it with extraordinary relish. Just the process of swallowing the rat meat brought him a strong sense of satisfaction.
He had never felt this way when eating anything else before.
After eating all the roasted rat meat, the hunger finally disappeared and Li Kai also felt a little full.
Then he drank most of the remaining water, leaving only a small portion for emergency use. Then he sat on the ground contentedly, rubbing his stomach and resting.
After resting for a while, Li Kai felt a warmth in his body, and soon his whole body became warm, and the fatigue in his body disappeared a lot.
At first he thought there was something wrong with his body, but after observing for a while and finding that there was nothing else unusual, he finally felt relieved.
"Is it because of the rat meat?"
Li Kai's eyes fell on the corpse of the acid-spraying rat, and he vaguely understood what was going on.
"So that's it. The muscle strength of this thing is very high, and the energy contained in its meat is also higher than that of ordinary animals. It's similar to high-calorie food."
This is definitely good stuff.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea and took out the cold steel hunting knife again and started dealing with the body of the acid-spraying rat again.
Just now, in order to temporarily solve the problem of hunger, he only cut those parts that were easiest to cut. In fact, there was still a lot of meat to be cut.
Now that everything is fine, we might as well get all the meat we can and take it with us when we go back.
