Zihua did not go back to the shack directly. The most urgent thing now was to deal with the razorbill. The meat would smell bad by tomorrow and would not be edible.
She dragged the razorbill to a rock.
She saw this place when she was inspecting the terrain before, and it was a good place to deal with prey.
It is not far from the puddle where the original owner usually draws water, and has a wide field of vision, so he can detect danger in time.
The bloody smell emitted by the razorbill will attract ferocious beasts.
She put what she was carrying on a rock and dragged the razorbill to another rock to handle it.
She used a dagger to make a slit from the joint between the head and the neck of the razor-beaked bird, and then peeled off the skin of the razor-beaked bird bit by bit, along with the feathers.
Zi Hua had to praise the manufacturing process of the interstellar era. This dagger was so sharp and easy to use. The skin of the razor-beaked bird was thick and tough, but the dagger cut it open with just one stroke.
Then the internal organs were removed and the neck, head and claws were cut off.
This method was rough, but it was the fastest. She had to go back before dark.
The razorbill's neck is long and thick, its head is hard, and its claws are thick and heavy. Together, these account for nearly half of the razorbill's weight.
After these were removed, the size was reduced by half, and Zihua could carry it around.
Although the feathers were valuable, they were troublesome to deal with. She could only put them here first. If she had time later and the feathers were not destroyed by other beasts, she would pick up some and take them away.
The feathers of the razor-beaked bird can generate a force field, which made Zihua somewhat interested.
Zihua carried the packed bird body to the water hole.
This puddle is located in a pile of rubble. Water emerges from the ground to form a puddle group of no more than ten square meters. Some puddles are larger and some are smaller. There are currently five puddles.
The bottom of the pit is made of sand, which acts as a filter and the water is very clear.
The storms of the past few days rolled up more sand and dust, and the bottom of the puddles was covered with a thick layer of sand. The puddles were generally shallower. The previous seven puddles became five after the storm. Those two
Buried under the sand.
Zhou Hua chose a larger puddle, scraped the sand from the bottom of the pit out of the pit with both hands, and the pit became a little deeper. Then she placed the razor-beaked bird in the puddle and rinsed it several times.
There will inevitably be some sand on it, and Zihua can't control that much.
The days are long in the hot season, and after Zehua has taken care of the razorbills, it is not completely dark yet, but it is already darker.
Zi Hua put the tree bark on her back again, carrying the grass blades in one hand and the razor-beaked bird in the other, and speeded back to the shack.
In front of the shack, there is a stove from the original main base and firewood left behind.
It is common sense to try not to drink raw water and eat raw meat. The original owner dug a hole in a stone with a dagger and used it as a stone pot.
Zihua took the stone pot away.
She skewered the bird's body with a long piece of firewood and placed it on the stove.
A fire was lit with a fire starter.
It never occurred to Zihua that when she arrived in the interstellar age, she did not first experience the comfortable life of high technology, and first came to survive in the wild.
If it weren't for the personal terminal on her wrist and the flight tracking device hanging above her head, Zihua suddenly thought she was on the wrong set.
Now that the meat-eating issue has been dealt with, it's time to deal with the shack issue.
Zihua wants to take advantage of the barbecue time to build a resting place for the night.
When she came to the shack, she took off the grass branches covering the roof of the shack.
These grasses were not dried before being laid, and after being coated with a layer of gum, the inner side became moldy, which is not good for the health.
Zihua shook the frame of the shack with her hands. There was only a slight shaking, so it was fine for the time being.
She untied the bark roll she had brought over.
She had already planned the size when cutting the bark, which was roughly one meter two by sixty meters.
The bark has basically dried, the outer bark has turned a bluish-gray dusty color, and the inner bark has changed from slightly brown to brown.
Valley wash
This is one of the characteristics of this bark, it dries quickly.
Yuhua obtained information about the characteristics of this bark from the spacecraft's database.
Some information is not included in the information disclosed by the organizer to the contestants.
After the bark was dried, it was roughly one meter by fifty centimeters in size. Zihua spread the bark to the top and only fixed it with gum between the barks so that the bark would not be covered.
If the tree bark is thoroughly cleaned, it will not become moldy.
There is gum growing on the trees that support the shack support posts, and it is readily available.
Not surprisingly, this kind of gum called Bangtan tree is poisonous, but it is not volatile, so as long as it is not eaten, it will be fine.
The gum is poisonous and can prevent most insects and ants, so the original owner also laid a layer of gum under the shack.
The fourth and fifth shacks of the original owner were built here, probably out of this consideration.
The shack was not big, barely enough for one person to lie down on it, so Zihua worked quickly. Before it got dark, Zihua replaced the roof, railings, and the things underneath with bark.
The original owner was careful when packing his luggage. Among the ordinary clothes he was allowed to bring, he brought a long cloak-style dress. The original owner unfolded it and spread it underneath to use as a blanket.
The clothes she wears can regulate the temperature, so there is no need to worry about covering her up during this season.
The bark of the tree is dense, and the shack has a new look, no longer exposed to the wind.
This will bring out the flavor of the meat.
Some viewers have turned on their full senses and can smell it.
"smell good."
"Meat without seasonings is no longer as delicious as it smells."
"It's much better than chewing grass. I really admire these contestants who chose to stay. If I couldn't stay for a whole day."
"Are you sure the razorbill is not poisonous?"
"If I say no, it shouldn't happen. Spey Company will not give out wrong information on this kind of matter."
"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I'll order some meat for frying later."
“I bought barbecue-flavored nutrient solution, I’m so proud~~”
…
Zihua roasted the dagger on the fire for a while to disinfect it, then cut off the outer layer of cooked meat and ate it.
It tastes really good.
The first and second bites were like this, but there was no seasoning, not even salt, and I felt tired after a few bites.
Zihua didn't frown until she was full.
The remaining bird meat was placed on the stone pot and carried into the private room.
The bird meat was left outside. She didn't have to wait overnight. If she dared to put out the fire, it would be gone in a while.
It is still allowed to use private rooms to temporarily store some things.
But one thing cannot last more than one day, which means that if the meat cannot be eaten tomorrow, it can only be left outside overnight.
Moreover, the private room is not indestructible, and you cannot rely too much on it to avoid danger.
A sturdy house needs to be put on the agenda.
Zihua put out the fire, looked up at the flight tracking device, and walked into the shack.
A flight tracking device followed in.
In order to prevent contestants from cheating, all the whereabouts of contestants will be photographed.
The bark of the tree has better light-blocking properties than the original grass branches. It is very dark in the shack, but there is no hindrance to those with mental power.
