Chapter 505: Grilled Scorpion Feast ( 2 )


After the woman asked, a man replied with a frown, "They didn’t leave but went to the warehouse direction."


Hearing this, the group of people shuddered as they recalled what they saw in the warehouse.


After a moment of silence, a young man finally asked, "Brother, there are a lot of those things in that place. If they go there, won’t they be eaten alive?"


The man frowned at his words and replied coldly, "If you worry about them, how about you go out and warn them?"


When the young man heard this, blood drained from his face and he no longer dared to say anything.


Seeing this, the man let out a snort and said, "Since you are weak, you should shut up and keep your tail tucked between your legs. Stop acting like a hero here. If not because you are useful, I would have thrown you out a long time ago."


Even though his words were harsh, everyone agreed with him and glared at the young man. Under their stares, the young man clenched his fists tightly to control his anger.


He always knew that this group of people was worse than zombies. But to survive, he could only lower his head and follow them.


After his parents sacrificed themselves to save his life, he had no right to be reckless and lose his life. He had to survive and live well, for his parents and for himself.


As emotions surged in his heart, a soft white glow suddenly emitted from his clenched fists. Due to the darkness, no one noticed it, including himself.


Meanwhile, in the warehouse area, Li Sikai and his team were staring at the warehouse’s small windows.


Shen Jinzhe pointed the flashlight at the small windows and said, "Are those scorpions?"


Gao Bohai nodded and replied, "It looks like a forest scorpion, but a normal scorpion can grow to at most ten to twelve centimeters. Judging by their sizes, they might be the Mutant Scorpions."


Hearing this, Zhou Huajian swallowed and said, "I tried grilled scorpion before when I visited my relatives, and it’s delicious. I wonder if these Mutant Scorpions are edible."


When they heard his words, the members exchanged glances, and Zhou Huajian added, "It should be edible. As long as we cut off the stings, we don’t have to worry about the toxin."


Li Sikai thought for a moment and said, "Then, let’s have grilled scorpion for dinner tonight."


The moment the members heard this, their eyes lit up instantly. Shen Jinzhe turned off the flashlight and said, "Since my fire’s temperature is too high, I will leave the matter of catching them to you all."


"Then, how about I use my wind and gather them into one place before Sikai stuns them with his lightning net?" Gao Bohai asked.


"Brother, that’s a good idea!" Zhou Huajian nodded in agreement.


"Okay, let’s get to work," Li Sikai said.


After they reached an agreement, Zhou Huajian used his vine and opened the lock. With a click, the padlock was unlocked.


Shen Jinzhe turned to Gao Bohai and asked, "Ready?"


"Anytime," Gao Bohai nodded.


The next moment, he pulled open the door widely. Before the scorpions could leave the warehouse, Gao Bohai raised his hand, and a small tornado swept the scorpions back inside.


He controlled the tornado for a while and gathered all the Mutant Scorpions at the center of the warehouse. Without turning his head, he said, "Sikai, it’s your turn."


Without wasting time, Li Sikai waved his hand, and a lightning net appeared above the small tornado. The moment the tornado disappeared, the lightning net fell on top of the scorpions.


Bzzzt! Crack! Crack!


The sound of electricity echoed in the warehouse. The Mutant Scorpions struggled to escape from the attack. Seeing this, Li Sikai clenched his fist, and the lightning net tightened.


Five minutes later, all of the scorpions finally lay on the ground unmoving. Seeing this, he waved his hand, and the lightning net disappeared instantly.


"Is it done?" Zhou Huajian asked.


Without waiting for any answers, he walked over to the small hill and checked the scorpions. The scorpions that came into direct contact with the lightning net were dead, while those below were still alive.


"Brother, some of them are still alive," he said.


Hearing this, Gao Bohai took out a sack from his backpack and said, "Don’t kill them. Just tie them up, and we can eat them later."


"Okay."


While the two of them sorted out the scorpions, Li Sikai went to check the warehouse. As for Shen Jinzhe, he went to get some firewood to build a bonfire.


At eight o’clock in the evening, they finished cleaning up the scorpions and built a bonfire inside the warehouse. Besides the Mutant Scorpions, the warehouse was empty. So, they just sat on the ground and started to grill the scorpions.


When the grilled scorpion was almost ready, Shen Jinzhe took out a small pouch from his backpack. Inside was the seasoning he had brought with him.


The members watched him sprinkle some seasoning on the grilled scorpions, and Zhou Huajian couldn’t help but say, "Jinzhe, you even bring seasoning during a mission?"


"This is a special seasoning given by my Sister-in-law. She said she mixed it herself, and it can improve grilled food taste," Shen Jinzhe replied casually.


Since it was given by their Sister-in-law, the members knew that it was good stuff. So, they asked him to season all the grilled scorpions.


As the night deepened, the temperature dropped and the wind blew. While the members were enjoying their feast, the fragrance was carried by the wind and reached the group of people who were hiding inside the convenience store.


They had been staying in this place for almost two months, and the supplies they had were only enough for another week.


With limited supplies, their leader started to cut down their consumption. Now, they only get half a bottle of water and six pieces of crackers every day.
