Chapter 1828: Seal Hunting, One Quarter
Don’t think that the seals in the aquarium are good people just because they look honest and cute.

Before humans landed in Antarctica, seals were the dominant species in Antarctica.

The cute Mr. Penguin is chased by seals every day.

An adult light seal weighs approximately two to five hundred kilograms.

Heavy seals can weigh more than one ton.

Such a strong seal has to kill at least five penguins every day to fill its stomach.

In other words, killing one seal is equivalent to saving more than a thousand penguins in a year.

……

"Then let's just hunt one. One will be enough for us to last till the end!"

After Su Mingzhe's earnest persuasion, Jing Ruyi finally stopped being stubborn.

However, Jing Ruyi still raised a question:
"I heard seal meat tastes terrible, and there's no seasoning here. How are you going to cook the seal meat?"

"This... the mountain man has his own clever plan!"

Su Mingzhe, who possesses the skills of a god of cooking, is naturally not afraid of not being able to handle a seal well.

However, before going to hunt seals, Su Mingzhe has to prepare an ice house to serve as his future kitchen.

After all, if the seal meat is cooked in the cabin and it smells too fishy, ​​no one will be able to sleep at night.

It took a day to build a small igloo.

Su Mingzhe began to prepare for hunting seals again.

Seals have thick skin and are heavy.

Even if we kill it, it would be troublesome to transport it back.

Su Mingzhe is indeed strong, but that seal weighs at least several hundred kilograms.

Another half day passed.

Su Mingzhe finally finished making the skis and sled.

At the same time, he appeared with three spears on his back.

……

When exploring the route previously, Su Mingzhe discovered that the nearest seal to the cabin was about seven kilometers away.

after an hour.

Su Mingzhe saw a seal, which looked to be about three or four hundred kilograms in size.

Perhaps because seals are used to being the dominant force in Antarctica, they have no concept of natural enemies.

When Su Mingzhe found the right position and prepared to sprint, the seal looked at the murderous Su Mingzhe and still showed no intention of resistance or vigilance.

It wasn't until Su Mingzhe aimed his spear at the seal and pierced its brain, killing it with one strike, that the seal couldn't understand how a weak human could "kill" itself, who had thick skin and flesh.

……

After killing the seal with one blow, Su Mingzhe quickly took out his military knife and started bleeding the seal.

Generally, if carnivorous animals are not bled, their meat will be very fishy and smelly.

The bloodletting time doesn't need to be too long. Two or three minutes is enough to cut the artery.

Then comes the skinning.

The bleeding was quick, and the seal's body was still warm.

It is not difficult to peel the skin at this time.

Once the seal carcass becomes hypothermic, it will take several times more effort to skin it.

After skinning, the next step is dismemberment.

……

"court death!"

Just as Su Mingzhe cut off the seal's head, he saw a skua falling from the sky, trying to get something for nothing.

The skua is a predatory seabird found worldwide.

As soon as we hear the name of the bird, we know what kind of bird it is and then feel disgusted with it.

In fact, the skua does not look very ugly. It has clean brown feathers on its wings, a thick, shiny black beak that is curved like a black hook, and big round eyes that are bright and lively.

With such a good-looking appearance, if it weren't for stealing, it would probably attract the love of many environmentalists.

Su Mingzhe made a few snowballs and used his "Finger Magic" to hit the Jaeger head hard, causing it to bleed.

Seeing their companion being killed, the other skuas were so scared that they dared not land again.

……

It took Su Mingzhe half an hour from hunting to dismembering.

Then he assembled the sled, piled up the meat, and Su Mingzhe immediately pulled it back to the cabin.

It takes an hour to come.

On the way back, because we had several hundred kilograms of meat, it took us seven or eight hours to get back to the cabin.

…“Mmm…delicious!”

Natasha ate a piece of barbecue smoked by the man and immediately gave him a thumbs up in praise.

Seeing this, Jing Ru also took a bite carefully, but frowned:
"This smells a bit fishy..."

"Shouldn't it be hard to swallow?"

Su Mingzhe had done his best to process the seal meat, but when he saw that Jing Ruyi was still not satisfied, he felt a little frustrated for a moment:
"Does it taste bad?"

"Maybe I'm not used to eating these things."

Jing Ruyi smiled apologetically at the man and continued eating.

These days, she and Natasha have been eating rice porridge and raw canned food every day, and their mouths are dry. Now that they can have barbecue to supplement their nutrition, they naturally won't be picky.

……

The thirteenth day of the disaster.

Su Mingzhe went out to search for the fifth time.

This time, before he set out, he brought a lot of barbecue with him:

"You two should be careful. It will take me two or three days to come back..."

"You should be careful too!"

Jing Ruyi knew that Su Mingzhe would need such a long time to go out this time in order to avoid wasting time on the way back and forth, which made her feel even more sorry for the man.

"Don't worry, I'll rush back on the third day!"

After Su Mingzhe finished speaking, he no longer looked at the two girls' reluctant eyes, pushed open the door, and strode away into the distance.

……

Row after row, chirp after chirp.

In fact, there are many research stations in Antarctica, about one hundred and fifty.

There are seven research stations near the Great Wall Station.

Unfortunately, finding these eight research stations on the vast white Antarctic continent is as difficult as finding an oasis in Lop Nur.

In the blink of an eye, forty-eight hours passed.

This time.

Su Mingzhe climbed up thirty mountains in total. Seeing that the time was almost up, he hurried back.

Five hours later.

After taking the wrong road twice, Su Mingzhe finally saw the cabin again.

……

The two women finally put their worries aside when they saw the man come back.

This time, the man was away for the longest time, a full fifty-six hours.

When Su Mingzhe woke up, it was already the sixteenth day of the disaster.

……

"One quarter!"

Holding the map drawn by the man and doing some simple calculations, Jing Ruyi reported the good news to the man.

"A quarter?"

Su Mingzhe was shocked when he heard this:
"Ten days, a quarter, that means if I go out for another month, I will definitely find it?"

"Yes, in a month at most, we will be saved!"

Jing Ruyi looked at the man's long stubble and suddenly smiled gently:

"Fuchun, take a day off today."

Just as the two were sharing their joy, Bai Nu, who was sleeping inside Jing Ruyi, suddenly spoke:

"Rich man, can you help me take another bath?"

At this time, nine days had passed since the last time the three of them took a bath.

Natasha was afraid of getting bedsores, so she had to ask the man to give her another bath when he was free.

"No problem, I'll go boil some water!"

Su Mingzhe boiled water very quickly. After a short while, he had the hot water ready. Then he carried Bai Nu off the bed and started to wash her.

After resting for half a month, Bai Nu's injuries were mostly healed, and even if she moved her hands and feet slightly, it would not hurt the wounds.

Just like that, with the help of the man, the white woman washed herself clean, and then with the man's support, she moved around in the cabin for a while before lying back on the bed.

……

After the three of them took a shower, Su Mingzhe went sea fishing again.

When he returned with a rich harvest, he made fish porridge.

This time, Natasha didn't dare to eat it.
