Chapter 478: Fu Guai's Request
From the test result of the mutant snake, they found out that the mutant animals contained a small amount of energy. Compared to the normal animals, the nutritional value of the mutant animals' meat was also higher, and its benefit even reached the commoners.
By consuming the meat, the ability-users could recover their energy and improve their levels, while the commoners could improve their health and strengthen their bodies. The shelf time of the products made from the mutant animals was also longer than normal animals.
So, while the risk of hunting down the mutant animals was high, it was worth the effort.
While Wen Hanli was thinking about forming several groups to hunt the mutant animals, Fu Guai had already carried the mutant eagle back to the apartment area.
At this moment, Shen Jinzhe had just returned from the public bureau hall to get the business permit. When he saw the giant eagle, he walked over and asked, "Brother Fu, when did you go out and kill this eagle?"
Hearing this, Fu Guai wrote on Shen Jinzhe's palm, 'I went out after lunch. I met a group almost killed by this eagle, so I helped. They were very polite and generous and gave me this eagle.'
Shen Jinzhe was taken aback by this and said, "It is rare for people to still have basic manners in our current situation."
Fu Guai nodded in agreement and wrote again, 'If I meet them again, I will treat them to a meal.'
"Then, what do you plan to do with this?" Shen Jinzhe asked.
Just after he finished his words, Jiao Lizhi arrived as she had just returned from the water reservoir area. "Wow, such a plump, big eagle," she said in surprise.
The moment Fu Guai saw her, he blocked her gaze as if she was a food thief. Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi chuckled and said, "Brother Fu, do not worry. I will not take away your food anymore."
After he heard this, Fu Guai stared at her for a moment before he relaxed.
Jiao Lizhi took out a mobile phone from her space and handed it to him while saying, "Brother Fu, it is inconvenient for you to go out alone without Sister Yuxie. So, I think it is better for you to carry this. You can write what you want to say in the notes app."
Fu Guai accepted the mobile phone and noticed that it was fully charged. He opened the notes and typed something before he showed the phone to her. "I want to make meat jerky using this bird. Help me."
Jiao Lizhi read the note and replied, "No problem!"
With a wave of her hand, the giant eagle was collected into her space. She would process the giant bird later using the air fryer in her space.
Seeing this, Shen Jinzhe thought that she would process the bird in her apartment and did not ask anything. As the three of them walked to the apartment building, he said, "Sister-in-law, I already applied for a business permit to the base."
"How much is the cost?" Jiao Lizhi asked.
"It is one hundred crystal cores for a year. I already paid for a year's permit. When my mother and sister find the store and clean it up, we can open the store," Shen Jinzhe said.
"If you need any help to clean up the store, just let me know," Jiao Lizhi nodded.
"Okay."
After they parted ways, Jiao Lizhi went to take a shower and prepare dinner. Not long after, Jin Xuyan returned, covered in rotten flesh and black blood.
"Brother Yan, what happened?" Jiao Lizhi asked when she saw his condition.
"I went out with Xun Che to check the situation on the border and cleaned up some zombies. We met a group of zombie rats," Jin Xuyan replied.
"Zombie rats? Did you clean them up?" Jiao Lizhi asked with a frown.
Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, "We might need to check the underground water channels later. It will be troublesome if the zombie rats infiltrate the base."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi knew the seriousness of the matter and said, "You should take a shower first."
She held his hand, and the two of them entered her space. The moment Jin Xuyan entered her space, the rotten flesh and black blood on his body turned into black mist and were absorbed by the space.
While he was taking a shower, Jiao Lizhi created a water ball and heated it up. When it was boiling, she poured the hot water on the giant eagle before she started plucking the feathers.
Each feather was at least one meter long and thirty centimeters wide. The feathers were soft but strong and tough. If they were made into armor or clothes, the survivors would be able to protect themselves from zombie attacks and withstand the cold winter.
With this thought, she plucked the feathers carefully so as not to damage them. When she was halfway done plucking the feathers, Jin Xuyan had already changed into a set of clean clothes and walked over.
He tied the apron around his waist and started helping her pluck the feathers while asking, "Ah Zhi, where did you get this mutant eagle?"
"This mutant eagle was brought back by Brother Fu Guai. He asked me to help him process this eagle into meat jerky," Jiao Lizhi explained.
Jin Xuyan let out an "oh" and stopped asking. The two of them spent three hours cleaning up the mutant eagle. When they were done, Jiao Lizhi poured the eagle's blood into a water tank.
While the blood tasted bad when made into dishes, it could be used as an ingredient for fertilizer. The bones, talons, beak, and feathers were all good materials for armor and weapons. As for the organs and inedible parts, Jiao Lizhi buried them in the grassland.
After they were done, Jiao Lizhi created water balls to clean up the area and went to take a bath.
The two of them had dinner together before they left the space and went to sleep.
