I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse Chapter 106: Meat!

Chapter 106: Meat!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Day 103 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday.

Nothing happened. There were no zombies or lunatics. It was a beautiful and fulfilling day.

Friday, Day 104 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday.

After his afternoon nap, Lu Ming went up the tower to look for zombies from a high vantage point, preparing to farm long-range skill proficiency.

However, he suddenly saw a black shadow rapidly flying towards him from the horizon.

His super eyesight allowed Lu Ming to see the full appearance of the black shadow.

A… huge raven?

Its wingspan was nearly five meters, and it had a pair of green eyes. Black feathers covered its body, and it looked like a super-large version of a raven.

This made Lu Ming frown.

“That shouldn’t be the case.”

Huo Sheng had a study on the adaptability of animals to the mystery factor.

It had been proven that animals and plants would not mutate due to infections by the Mystery Factor—they would not become zombies or Awakened ones.

The mystery factor seemed to only target humans and exclude animals and plants.

This made the appearance of the huge raven rather unscientific.

It was very sharp.

Lu Ming’s observation tower was quite conspicuous, Coupled with the fact that Lu Ming had been staring at it for a long time, the huge raven seemed to have sensed Lu Ming’s presence.

The raven let out a long cry.

The big crow turned its gaze to Lu Ming. Then, it flapped its wings, soaring towards him like an arrow.

“Hmm? It’s hostile?”

Lu Ming was tense.

Then, he took out a two-meter heavy sniper rifle from under his feet.

Lu Ming liked small animals.

But it was only limited to small animals.

In other words, Lu Ming kept his distance from any animals that could potentially harm him—even cats and dogs.

The current size of this huge bird clearly exceeded the category of small animals, and its hostility had already been revealed. There was no room for negotiation.not small.

Coupled with the fact that its hostility had already been revealed. There was no room for negotiation.

He aimed and pulled the trigger.

With a Lv25 firearms skill, Lu Ming was able to hit wherever he aimed.

With a loud “boom”, the powerful recoil fell on Lu Ming, but it could not shake his strong body in the slightest.

On the other hand, the huge bird that was rus.h.i.+ng over had its head hit like it was struck by a heavy hammer.

With a “snap”, the huge bird’s head exploded on the spot. Its body continued to fly forward with inertia. It even flapped its wings twice before gliding down like a falling aircraft and cras.h.i.+ng not far from Good Hope Village.

The power of firearms had proven reliable so far, provided they did not encounter those freaks with extremely strong recovery abilities.

This incident was insignificant to Lu Ming.

After dealing with the strange bird, Lu Ming carried the heavy sniper rifle and continued searching for something that he could shoot.

However, the loud explosion when the strange bird crashed to the ground caught the attention of the people in Good Hope Village.

“What was that?”

The explosion made Li Zitong shudder. He turned around to search, but he found nothing.

It was Zhao Honglei who said, “A strange bird, shot dead by Brother Lu.”

He had taken a good look at it.

Pointing in the direction where the bird had fallen, Zhao Honglei made a rough estimate and said, “I’ll go and fetch the carca.s.s of that thing.

Li Zitong immediately nodded.

Zhao Honglei had the Stealth superpower to conceal himself. After he had become a Level 3 Awakened a few days ago, the effect of concealment had become more and more outstanding.

No one was more suitable to go out than Zhao Honglei.

Picking up a spear, Zhao Honglei strode out of the gathering place. About twenty minutes later, Zhao Honglei returned, carrying the strange bird’s carca.s.s, the size of a small hill.

Placing the carca.s.s on the ground with a heavy rumble, Zhao Honglei stretched his sore shoulder and said, “Brother Lu had killed another strange creature.”

On one side, Zhao Honglei marveled at the giant size of the strange bird.

On the other side, Li Zitong’s eyes lit up.

He circled around the strange bird’s carca.s.s, left and right. After a long while, he asked softly with a strange expression, “Uncle Honglei, do you think this thing can be eaten?”

His words rendered Zhao Honglei speechless.

After a moment, he said uncertainly, “I guess… we can.”

The Guangping Street gathering place was a democratic community.

Here, other than Lu Ming, even Awakened ones did not receive much special treatment—maybe just better accommodations, but when it came to food, everyone shared from the same pot.

Although supplies were not lacking here, with the apocalypse, supplies would definitely be scarcer than before.

As a result, Li Zitong and Zhao Honglei had not tasted meat for a while.

At this moment, looking at the strange bird…

It seemed like it might be edible.

Of course, both Li Zitong and Zhao Honglei were not reckless people, as they knew the rules of the shelters.

Necessary inspections were still required.

Lu Ming did not pay much attention to these things.

It was not until dinner time when Lu Ming entered the dining hall and saw the table that his eyebrows furrowed immediately!

There were only three barrels of rice and five plates of vegetables…

How was this enough to eat?

But Lu Ming was not the type to casually blame others.

He glanced at the smiling Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan, then sat at the dining table and picked up his chopsticks.

“Chicken?”

“Um, chicken.”

“Aren’t we running low on food?”

“We still have enough.”

Since they had enough, why make so little?

Lu Ming wanted to ask, but he did not. He just ate a mouthful of rice and picked up a piece of chicken meat.

Just as he held the chicken meat, Lu Ming immediately noticed something different.

Ordinary chicken meat would be easily snapped in half when held like this, but this time, the chicken meat felt particularly tenacious and resilient.

Raising his eyebrows, Lu Ming put the chicken meat into his mouth.

A faint sweetness and firm texture instantly exploded on his taste buds.

“Mm—”

He chewed it for a full 20 times before swallowing the meat.

In the next moment, Lu Ming immediately felt a surge of energy.

“This isn’t ordinary meat.”

It was not just about the different tastes.

The energy contained within was different.

As Lu Ming’s physique grew, his digestive capacity had also greatly improved. Normally, the meager energy contained in ordinary food would just be quickly absorbed and converted into calories to sustain Lu Ming’s muscles.

That was the fundamental reason why Lu Ming had to eat for nearly an hour each meal—the energy contained in ordinary food was really too little.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Lu Ming’s daily meals were actually maintained at a half-full, half-hungry state.

It was not because of insufficient supplies.

If he wanted to be completely full, Lu Ming might have to eat non-stop for 24 hours a day.

But the meat he ate this time was completely different from before!

Just a piece of meat, and Lu Ming felt that annoying feeling of hunger quickly disappearing. His body felt as if it had been thirsty for a long time and finally received sweet nectar, and his spirit was instantly invigorated.

Compared to this sense of satisfaction, the taste was just a minor detail.

“What kind of meat is this?”

As he took another bite of meat, Lu Ming immediately understood why there were few dishes today.

His discontent from a moment ago vanished instantly as he looked at the smiling Zhang Chengcheng, and asked her.

Zhang Chengcheng covered her mouth and smiled, “It’s the meat of that big bird.”

Lu Ming thought for a moment and nodded in understanding.

“Good bird, good meat!”
