Chapter 76: 76 Two Carnivores

76 Two Carnivores

There was no way the snow-shoveling truck they drove could fit such a huge wild boar. Even if it could, Du Yue would not want to be so close to a fresh carcass. I brought some steel wires,” He Xing said. “I’ll tie it up to the back of the car! We’ll drag it along!”

He Xing’s backpack was no smaller than Du Yue’s, and it was also fully packed. However, Du Yue did not expect him to have prepared some steel wires ahead of time. It seemed that she was still inexperienced!

Du Yue thought to herself. When she got into the truck, she would pretend to pack her bag and take out a few steel wires while He Xing was driving. If they were to catch other prey later, the steel wire would come in handy.

He Xing first returned to the truck and found the steel wire. The two of them worked together to tie the wild boar tightly. Then, they hung the other end of the steel wire at the tail of the snow-shoveling truck before returning to the truck. After staying in this world of ice and snow for such a long time, both of them were frozen stiff.

The heater had been turned on in the truck, and the small external heater was burning continuously. At this moment, the temperature in the truck was still 10 to 20 degrees higher than outside. When the two of them returned to the truck, Du Yue even felt a little sweaty. However, when they sat in the truck and quieted down, they could feel the cold again not long after.

Du Yue poured two cups of steaming water and handed one to He Xing. The thermos she had brought with her was very good at keeping liquids warm, so when she drank the water, she deliberately took small sips, held it in her mouth for a while, and then swallowed it. In extremely cold weather, one’s body would be numb from the cold, and one’s senses would be weakened. Even if boiling water entered one’s mouth, one would not even feel the temperature. However, if one swallowed it directly, it would burn one’s throat. In the worst case, it could even burn the esophagus.

After taking small sips of the cup of hot water, Du Yue felt that the chill in her body had dissipated a lot. It was already noon when she looked at the time. Du Yue asked He Xing, “Let’s have lunch first before we continue our journey.” Otherwise, they would probably have to stop to eat after driving for less than half an hour, which would be a little too troublesome.

He Xing thought so too. He took out two cans of braised pork and two bags of compressed biscuits from his bag. Du Yue looked at the food and lost her appetite. “Don’t eat the biscuits. I brought self-heating hotpot. Let’s eat that. It’s warm and not troublesome to prepare. If you want to eat canned food, you can put it in the pot and heat it for a while.”

He Xing nodded. “Alright! I have to eat some meat for every meal, or I won’t be full!”

Hearing this, Du Yue could not help but glance at him. She had not realized that He Xing liked meat so much. However, it was a coincidence that she was also a carnivore!

Du Yue placed the small iron pot on the furnace, opened the cans, and poured all the braised meat inside into the pot. The braised meat was frozen. After being poured into the pot, it melted quickly. There was a sizzling sound, and the fragrant smell reached the noses of the two people.

While the braised meat was being heated, Du Yue took out the self-heating hotpots and gave He Xing one. Then, she started heating the pot with water. After waiting for more than 10 minutes, the self-heating hotpot and the braised meat were almost ready at the same time. The two of them held their own boxes and began to eat without saying anything.

Although it was much warmer in the car than outside, the food would get cold soon if they did not eat quickly. If it got cold, they could still force themselves to swallow the food, but it would be too troublesome if the food froze over again. Therefore, neither of them wasted any time and ate quickly. By the time they finished their portions, the remaining hotpot and meat were already cold. The two of them did not mind and put the rest of the food into their mouths and swallowed it.

He Xing looked at the self-heating hotpot in his hand. “The quality of the box is quite good. I’ll go wash it and keep it. Who knows? It might be useful in the future.” After He Xing finished speaking, he got out of the car with the two boxes and the small pot that was used to heat up the braised meat.

It was a world of ice and snow outside, and the accumulated snow was the best cleaning tool. He Xing buried the pot and the boxes in the snow, then wiped them with a handful of snow. The boxes and pot were soon clean.
