Chapter 189: The Big Lunch
Chapter 189
Li Ming stretched his left hand into the right sleeve, took out three bloodstained steel balls with trembling!
Only then did Qin Zhao move her foot that was stepping on Li Ming's calf.
Xu Lianggong took over the steel balls and saw the serial number on them, it was number 3!
He shouted loudly: "Qin Zhao, twelve o’clock direction!"
All hits, all hits!
Everyone looked at Qin Zhao strangely.
They really didn't understand why a person could change so much in just over ten days?!
They began to miss the weak and helpless Qin Zhao they knew before.
At least when facing that kind of Qin Zhao, everyone still had a chance to compete for first place.
Now all the top spots were taken by Qin Zhao, and life became unbearable!
Xu Lianggong announced: "Qin Zhao has the priority to choose the wooden house."
Without any hesitation, Qin Zhao took Sheng Xi’s hand and walked towards the two-story cottage.
An Hongyu stared at their backs, his eyes seemed to turn into daggers to pierce them through!
On Star Net, the popularity value of Qin Zhao's live studio soared from 360,000 to 600,000 in just 20 minutes!
Comments kept pouring in, almost all praising her.
"Let me introduce you, this is my sister Qin Zhao!"
"Has Qin Zhao really become so powerful?
I don't even dare to criticize her anymore."
Qin Zhao’s old fans who had always been lurking began to surface.
"Families, who understands?
I have been Qin Zhao’s fan for four years, and finally held my head high!"
"I understand, I understand! Once my classmate saw the photo of Qin Zhao as my phone wallpaper.
She scolded me for being shallow and only caring about looks.
Now let's see who else dares say that!
Our Qin Zhao is not only beautiful but also capable!"
The Star Net audience completely forgot about the former Qin Zhao.
......
The arrangements for the remaining five people were: An Hongyu and Yu Xiao each chose a log cabin.
Lin Rui, Xiao Mo, and Chen Bingzhe got tents and sleeping bags sponsored by the director team.
Seeing Lin Rui's bitter face, Xiao Mo said, "Don't feel wronged. They were kind enough to give you a tent. Otherwise, you can only sleep outdoors and get carried away by bears!"
Lin Rui dissatisfied: "Why say it so terribly, where are there bears out there?"
"Well, who knows." Xiao Mo whistled and went to find a suitable place to set up the tent.
Chen Bingzhe looked at the two-story wooden house, then at Xiao Mo and Lin Rui, sighed secretly.
He was less and less confident that he could survive fifty days and get the 10 billion bonus.
Inside the two-story wooden house, after Qin Zhao put the supplies away.
She walked around to inspect the house.
There was an open kitchen on the left side of the log cabin.
On the right was a wooden bed about 1.5 meters long.
There was also a bathroom at the front.
Small as it is, it contained everything one needs.
Qin Zhao nodded satisfatorily.
Then she went to the bathroom and took a shower with the shower head, the first one in a long time.
Previously in the wild, with so many people around, she could only sneak into the river in the middle of the night to wash her body.
And she had to be very quiet, it was terribly suffocating.
When she came out of the bathroom door, she heard Sheng Xi say, "Don't move!"
Qin Zhao froze and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sheng Xi walked quickly, reached out her hand on the ground,
And a snake appeared in her palm!
Qin Zhao cried out and retreated three meters back!
Sheng Xi smiled and said, "I thought you were very brave, but it turns out that you are afraid of snakes."
Qin Zhao denied: "It's not that, it's just that the little thing looks too ugly, hard to look at."
Sheng Xi weighed the snake. "It's not small at all, at least one kilogram, enough to stuff our teeth."
Qin Zhao frowned, "Have you eaten snake before? Is it delicious, is it poisonous?"
Sheng Xi replied: "I've eaten dried snake meat. It tastes quite similar to chicken.
As for snake venom, it is composed of proteins which lose toxicity when denatured by high temperatures. So there's no problem."
"That's good. But I have to get to know you again.
I thought you were an untainted big star.
Now it seems you are also down-to-earth."
Sheng Xi said lightly with a laugh: "What did you take me for? A fairy?
So-called big stars are also built up bit by bit through hard work."
At lunchtime, Sheng Xi cooked snake soup with the snake meat.
Qin Zhao also took out the rest of the dried pork to give Sheng Xi.
Sheng Xi went to the edge of the forest to pick some mushrooms and stir-fried them with the meat.
The two dishes looked appetizing.
For wilderness survival, it was a sumptuous meal.
The two moved the dining table onto the balcony and sat face to face.
The aroma attracted everyone's attention.
An Hongyu also came out of the log cabin, looking for the source of the fragrance.
When he found out it was Qin Zhao and Sheng Xi again, he returned to the room annoyed and slammed the door!
Qin Zhao thought to herself, why isn't he dead from anger yet?
She turned her attention back to the dining table. Qin Zhao scooped herself a bowl of snake soup.
She picked up a piece of snake meat and put it in her mouth. Her body froze!
Sheng Xi noticed her unusual expression and asked, "How is it, not delicious?"
She stretched out her hand to Qin Zhao's chin, "Spit it out if it’s bad, don't force yourself."
Qin Zhao resumed chewing, "It's too delicious! The meat quality is similar to chicken, but the texture is much better than chicken.
Of course, I know your cooking skills also play a part.
The meat is tender, smooth and comparable to a three-Michelin-star chef!"
Sheng Xi retracted her hand, her cheeks slightly blushed, "You exaggerate too much.
But as long as you like it, that’s good."
In front of the tent, Xiao Mo, who was eating berries, took a deep breath of the drifting meat aroma and said, "Let's just pretend we ate meat."
Lin Rui suggested: "Let’s go hunting later."
With the steel ball gun, it shouldn’t be like before when they could only catch a small rabbit every few days.
Xiao Mo nodded, "If I don't eat meat again soon, I'm going to turn into a berry!"
After lunch, Qin Zhao rested for half an hour. She said to Sheng Xi, "Our food stock has run out. I'm going hunting later,
remember to lock the doors and windows.
No one must come in, especially An Hongyu!
Understand?"
Sheng Xi looked at her amusedly, "I noticed that you always like to treat me as a child.
To be exact, I turned 26 last September, half a year older than you.
You should call me sister."
Qin Zhao's face lit up with a smile, "You even remember my birthday?
Tell me! How much do you care about me secretly?"
Sheng Xi said lightly, "I just have a good memory. Don't think too much."
"Alright, I’ll let you off for now and settle the score later. When that time comes, I’ll ask you clearly."
Sheng Xi neither confirmed nor denied, only said: "Be careful going out."
Later, Qin Zhao took the steel ball gun and went out.
She entered the woods.
The vegetation on Barren Ancient Star was lush. One could easily get scratched if not careful.
Qin Zhao used her dagger to chop off the branches blocking her way, taking one step at a time forward.
Stepping on the ground covered with dead branches and fallen leaves made crunching sounds.
But such sounds were not unique to her side.
On the other side hidden behind the foliage, Lin Rui and Xiao Mo were also heading deeper into the forest.
Qin Zhao quickened her pace, threading through the woods. Suddenly she heard rustling sounds not far away!
It seemed that some larger animal was moving.
In order not to startle it away, Qin Zhao lightened her movements.
The other party also seemed to have noticed Qin Zhao, and the subtle sounds disappeared.
Qin Zhao simply stopped and stood still.
As time passed by second by second, the other party gradually relaxed its vigilance and moved again.
When it walked a little further away, but still within the shooting range of the steel ball gun, Qin Zhao leaned out to take a look.
She saw a fox gently swaying its tail and walking forward.
It looked about 30 kilograms.
If shot down, it could provide her and Sheng Xi with protein for at least a week.
Qin Zhao raised her gun to aim.
Just as she was about to shoot, there was a sudden clang from the woods!
