As long as it is alive, and won’t be fined if it’s eaten, won’t get poisoned and have diarrhea if eaten, it’s all in Mr. Lu’s recipe.
…
As soon as they heard that there was meat, the eyes of the survivors lit up again.
There is nothing more gratifying than being able to eat a bite of meat.
They went back to the camp.
The place where the camp was set up was some distance from the lake, at the diagonal corner of the woods out of which the ground was open, and the ground was covered with a layer of camel fur, which separated the sandy land.
No one knows if there’s something hidden in the sand, and it seems to add one more psychological comfort.
When Qin Qi saw a group of people coming back, he stood up excitedly and ran limply over.
“Xiao Qi!”
“Dude, you’re still alive! We thought you were left behind!”
Qin Qi looked at the others with red eyes, and could tell at a glance which people had fallen behind.
He took a deep breath, he swallowed the dryness in his throat, and didn’t say anything, he just called the others to come over and warm up.
Xian Dan and Shu Hua built a few more bonfires, then took the furs from the other two camels and spread them out.
“What is this for?” Several members of the rescued merchant fleet were puzzled.
Shu Hua paused slightly, with an indescribable expression on his face, he said: “It’s better that you don’t know.”
“……Brother Shu, you make us even more afraid.”
Qin Qi silently rolled up his trousers, revealing his bandaged calf.
Even if the white gauze is tightly wrapped, they can still see a mark in the gauze that had been soaked red and darkened by blood.
The section of muscle drilled by the desert locust blood worm is even more exaggerated bulged and swelled, making the surrounding skin surprisingly shiny, like round crystal glutinous rice dumpling, the kind that seems to leave a small pit when pressed and can’t bounce back.
Seeing this, the others opened their eyes in shock: “Xiao Qi, what’s wrong with you?!”
Xian Dan and the others were also startled, they didn’t expect it to swell up like this only after a few hours.
“It’s already very good.” Qin Qi shook his head and said.
He rejoiced in his heart, fortunately they brought out a lot of medicines from the sunken ship, some of them were for trauma, otherwise his infection would be even worse.
This was a fungal infection from the desert locust blood worm and it probably wouldn’t have taken him more than a few hours to die of severe infection and septicemia.
Even if Qin Qi did a full set of debridement and injections for himself, there was no way to guarantee that his leg could move freely in the future under the current lack of conditions and supplies.
But this was much better than what he had encountered, Qin Qi didn’t feel aggrieved at all, he just felt that he was so lucky to be alive and to be rescued.
“There is something in the sand.” Qin Qi said to those people, “Although I don’t know how much it will work with a layer of fur, it’s better than sitting directly on the sand.”
Upon hearing his words, the group of people immediately stood on the fur obediently, their eyes rolled around, and they carefully looked at the sand under their feet, as if there were some savage beast inside.
Xian Dan and Shu Hua skewered the camel horse meat, which the two of them had worked diligently and painstakingly to endure the stench, and grilled it on the branches.

Not long after, an indescribable smell wafted from the campfire.

“Thinking of the smell of Mr. Lu’s barbecue the night before, I’m even hungrier…”
Shu Hua’s complexion also became extremely exciting, he was the first to bear the burnt of the smell and his eyes turned black, if he didn’t know that what he was roasting was the meat of a camel horse, he would have given up and ran away.
His face collapsed, and when he heard that some of his team members still dared to talk about it, he immediately called them over to continue the barbeque, while he pulled Xian Dan and ran away.
It smells so bad, it’s like he’s back to when Mr. Lu had just cut open the belly of the camel horse.
“How did this happen? Can this meat still be eaten?” He murmured in his heart and asked Xian Dan in a low voice.
Xian Dan was also smoked by the smell of the meat, and could not open his eyes, he sniffed as he greeted Lu Liran: “Mr. Lu…you see, this roast meat, could it be spoiled?”
Lu Liran moved the tip of his nose, a little doubt appeared in his eyes, isn’t it just a bit sour? Compared with the stinky rats he had eaten, this was nothing.
What’s more, the smell of that camel horse was so strong when it was cut open, how can the meat not smell?
This is normal, just a little thing.
He waved his hand and said: “Don’t worry, I’ve seen people eat animals killed by beak duck necks. The taste is a bit strong, but they can’t kill people.”
Xian Dan and Shu Hua’s expressions are slightly distorted, a bit strong? It was as if the vomit had been roasted again, and the smell seemed to be stimulated by the heat, floating all over the sky profusely.
When the meat was cooked, several members of the merchant fleet held a bunch of them in their hands, with expressions as if they were being forced to the execution ground.
Lu Liran raised his eyebrows, he took a bite of a skewer of barbecue meat, then he said softly with his eyes narrowing slightly: “The protein content of camel horse is very high, and it’s rich in mineral elements and traces of salt. Such a palm-size camel horse meat weighs about four catties, and can provide the human body with a full day of extreme consumption.”
[The taste, the taste—— Brother Lu eating broadcast room gifted the anchor 1x Sukiyaki Pot]
[Just now I saw that the captain’s expression was pale, and several team members seemed to have been attacked by biological and chemical weapons]
[Let the Beauty taste it, let the Beauty talk about it!]
Xian Dan watched Lu Liran take the lean in eating, with a calm expression and no major changes. He couldn’t help looking at the skewer of barbecue in his hand with some hesitation.
It seems, it seems, maybe not as hard to swallow as it smells?
He took a deep breath, and the sour smell suddenly entered his throat from his nose, making his stomach nauseous.
Xian Dan took a bite as if to die, and the slightly hot and chewy camel meat wrapped in fat exploded in his mouth with a strong breath, which was not much different from the smell.
With a stiff face, Xian Dan insisted on chewing and swallowing under Shu Hua’s gaze.
“How’s it going?” Shu Hua held up his untouched skewer of barbecued meat and asked Xian Dan.
Xian Dan nodded: “It’s okay, it tastes like meat.”
After he finished speaking, the other members of the merchant fleet breathed a sigh of relief.
The taste of meat! That’s good!
Who hasn’t eaten something that smells bad but tastes delicious! Durian, stinky tofu, and stinky mandarin fish, which one is not both delicious but stinky!
There was no need for Xian Dan to say anything, the members of the merchant fleet automatically completed the explanation, and they buried their heads on a big bite of barbecue without thinking.
“……”
“……”
“……”
In the big and empty camp, it was suddenly unbelievably quiet, only the small crackling sound of the campfire being burned could be heard.
Lu Liran raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the people in the merchant fleet, everyone seemed to be dumbfounded, and their voices were gone.
He held his breath and lowered his head, then took another bite, and handed Ke Ji a bunch: “Hold your breath, so the smell won’t be so strong.”
Ke Ji was used to all kinds of strange food that Lu Liran fed him, so he nodded and took it.
He glanced lightly at the stationary merchant fleet, and before someone wanted to spit it out, he said: “In the wilderness, if you want to live, you have to do whatever it takes. If you want to be picky, instead of surviving in the wilderness, it’s better to go on a picnic.”
The people in the merchant fleet were embarrassed by what he said, and seeing that the Omega was not showing any pickiness, they all bit the bullet and ate all the barbecue meat that was allocated to them.
Lu Liran curled his mouth: “I don’t have much pursuit of food in the wild, as long as it can provide energy, it is a good thing.”
Qin Qi murmured softly after hearing his words: “Mr. Lu isn’t pursuing, Mr. Lu clearly doesn’t refuse anyone who comes.”
——As long as it is alive, and won’t be fined if it’s eaten, won’t get poisoned and have diarrhea if eaten, it’s all in Mr. Lu’s recipe.
[Laughing to death, is the medical brother a walking barrage?]
[Why did the little brother spoke what I was thinking]
[Squatting in the anchor’s live broadcast room, let you eat all the Desolate Star biological chain without having to leave home]
[Thank you, no need]
It was unknown if they got used to the stinky smell, but the group slowly continued to eat barbecue. Eleven or twelve people ate all the cut camel horse meat, they gathered around several bonfires, and waited for the end of the long night.
“Xiao Qi, why did you fall behind? What happened to you later? We just heard a scream, was it you?” Little Six asked curiously, gnawing on the tough camel meat.
Qin Qi paused when he heard this, then he recalled in a slightly confused way.
“I don’t know why I fell behind. I just followed the team, then I squatted down to tie my shoelaces. When I looked up and stood up, I saw that there was only one figure left in front of me, so I hurried to catch up.” Qin Qi pondered about it, “But he’s also following the people in the group.”
“But as I was walking, that person suddenly disappeared again. I don’t know where he went.” Qin Qi looked at Xian Fan, “By the way, captain, you only found me?”
Xian Dan nodded: “I took all the team to the top of the sandy slope and counted people, only to find out that you were missing.”
He paused, seeing that Qin Qi didn’t seem to realize it, and he then emphasized: “Only you are missing.”
“And when I found you, you were dozens of degrees away from the direction we were walking, and you were lying alone among the stones.” Xian Dan looked at Qin Qi and asked slowly, “So the person you followed all the way is who?”
After Qin Qi listened in a daze, he felt a chill rushing straight to his forehead, goosebumps came up, and the back of his neck was whizzing cold.
“How is it possible…” He opened his eyes slightly, “Who else is there besides us?”
Someone in the team had a strange expression on their face, and asked softly: “Hiss, it can’t be that kind of thing?”
“What thing?”
“Just that kind of thing!!! You said so many people came looking for the oasis, how many found it? How many got out alive? A lot of people must have died here!”
“And the scene in the fog, ghosts are most likely to appear and it’s always shot like this in movies.”
Listening to the people in the team talking further and further away, Xian Dan interrupted loudly.
“The more you talk, the more it becomes nonsense, where is this ghost? It doesn’t have to be just us here, either.” He pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, “Isn’t there still someone who hasn’t appeared all this time?”
Everyone in the team was stunned for a few seconds, and Shan Wu, who still hadn’t said a word, seemed to wake up, and suddenly said: “It’s the guide. It must be him.”
“The guide? You mean that person?! Didn’t he get separated from the sandstorm, how can he still survive? Impossible!”
“But didn’t we just see one on the side of the sunken ship? His back looks pretty similar to me.”
“Hey, let’s put it this way…I went to see someone flashing into the woods first, and I thought he was one of us. Now that I think about it, it couldn’t be him too?!”
“He followed us all the way here?! This man is too cunning!”
Lu Liran listened to the discussion of the people in the merchant fleet, and he lowered his eyes slightly, but he didn’t think that person was following them all the way.
“Maybe, it just happened to be the same way.” He said.
“How is this possible, Mr. Lu, this Salba is so big, the possibility of going the same way is not as good as winning the lottery.” A team member laughed.
“The purpose of that person is also the oasis. That person obviously has much better survival skills and common sense than you, and it’s not impossible to take the same route judgement as me.” Lu Liran added, “Besides, didn’t he claim to have been to the oasis?”
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly: “It seems that he is not talking big.”
He was a little curious about what that man was going to do, why he would rather take such a big risk to enter the desert oasis again.
They have travelled so far, and the traces of the so-called legendary oasis treasure hasn’t been seen. Most of them are just stories that people say.
He asked Qin Qi: “Where did you follow him? What did you see?”
Qin Qi came back to his senses, pursed his lips and said: “I saw a pile of stones with vines growing on them, and the vines…it’s full of bugs, each one is as big as a thumb, and some hang down from the vies, as if hanging from a cocoon…”
“Then I saw a person stuffed between one of the vines and the stone. Now that I think about it, the person must have been dead for at least several months, and his body was rotten. Those vines looked like moving snakes, bit by bit getting into the man’s body.”
Lu Liran opened his eyes wide suddenly.
Qin Qi looked at Lu Liran, he saw that Mr. Lu also looked shocked, and he nodded vigorously as if he found a bosom friend: “It’s really scary, isn’t it! I fainted from fright…”
Lu Liran grabbed him: “Did you see that the vines are covered with bugs? Hanging down like a cocoon?”
Qin Qi didn’t expect Lu Liran to focus on this, and his arm hurts from Lu Liran’s grasp.
He froze for a moment, then nodded: “I don’t know if it’s a bug or a cocoon hanging down. Some places have bugs squirming and writhing, and other places…near the crevices of the stones are mostly cocoons, which feels like a shell.”
Lu Liran let go of his hand, the sudden excitement and ecstasy overwhelmed him.
He stared at Qin Qi in a daze and murmured: “Is it the sand cocoon? I really found it? Really?”
Sunnyshies: When I read this mtl-ed, I was a bit confused, and thought they ate the meat raw, that’s why they all have that expression on their faces, now that I tl-ed it, I think it’s too much to eat it raw…
