In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

Of course, everything has two sides. Although snakes look scary, they are actually a good thing for some survivors, after all, they are a solid source of high-quality protein.

In many cities in the southern part of the Tianhui Empire, snake meat is a common cooking ingredient. There are even specially farmed 'vegetable snakes' in the market, which, as the name suggests, are snakes specifically for cooking.

It can be said that eating snakes is a tradition in the south of the Empire. Now that so many snakes have appeared in residential buildings, isn't this just meat being delivered to their door?

After all, for the Tianhui Empire, a culinary nation on Planet Baltan, there is nothing that cannot be eaten, whether it's the Eight Delicacies or various delicacies from land and sea.

It can be said that whether it flies in the sky, walks on the ground, or swims in the water, there is nothing they won't eat.

If something really can't be used as food, then it will be used as medicinal material. Of course, if it has neither edible nor medicinal value, then this kind of thing will definitely be disliked within the Empire.

The ancestors' strict selection is not a joke.

Take the very large chickens of the Tianying Empire as an example. Logically speaking, this thing should be the most perfect food, after all, it is so large and full of meat.

After the Tianhui Empire imported a few to taste, they felt that this chicken was basically useless except for its size. The meat was very rough, the taste was very poor, and it was very unappetizing, so it was directly abandoned.

As for the snakes in front of them, although they look terrifying, they are simply a delicious ingredient for the imperial people who have a tradition of eating snakes.

In Xiegeer State, the southernmost part of the Empire, there are many restaurants that specialize in eating snakes, and the prices of the dishes are very high.

Of course, the survivors are also very clear that these colorful snakes in front of them are not the 'vegetable snakes' found in the market. These snakes look like they are not to be trifled with.

The snakes are coiled up, their heads raised, hissing and spitting their forked tongues. If someone doesn't pay attention, they will definitely be bitten hard.

As for which snakes are poisonous and which are not, it is really difficult to distinguish, but these snakes are at least intimidating in appearance.

The most terrifying of them is the mutated cobra. After mutation, this cobra actually has a body size no less than that of a king cobra, and it can also spray venom.

If you have clothes to cover yourself, it's better, but if the skin is directly contaminated with snake venom, it will be poisoned and killed by the venom.

Even though there are many snakes and they have mutated, this still cannot stop humans from wanting to obtain meat.

Compared to rat meat, snake meat is more acceptable. After all, snake meat tastes similar to dried shrimp when boiled into soup, and it is somewhat similar to the taste and texture of chicken, which is simply delicious.

Countless survivors waved various weapons while imagining the scene of drinking snake soup in their minds.

Of course, catching snakes is a seemingly dangerous, but actually very unsafe behavior.

Even if you have various supplies, it is still very dangerous.

But living in the apocalypse is a danger in itself. Compared with danger, the snake meat that can be obtained in front of you is more attractive, and the risk is completely within the acceptable range.

Eating meat! It can be said that many people haven't eaten meat for a long time since the end of the world began, which is definitely something that sounds very distant.

These snakes entrenched in residential buildings originally planned to use this place as their breeding nest, but as a result, they instantly changed from the role of hunters hunting mice to the role of prey being hunted by humans.

Originally, many snakes planned to climb upstairs and hunt some mice along the way, but these snakes simply had no chance to climb up.

Countless survivors' eyes glowed, holding various machetes and self-made simple maces and other weapons, squatting at the stairwell. There were survivors staring at each floor. As long as the snake dared to come up, hehe, they would be met with a knife or a mace...

One thing that must be mentioned is that Southerners are born with the ability to catch snakes, and their method of catching snakes is also simple and crude. Wearing thick shoes, after seeing a snake coming up, they directly use a weapon to suppress the snake's head, and then step on the snake's head with one foot and chop off the head with a knife.

Then use a knife to pick the snake's head into the flood and throw it away.

After all, everyone knows that even if you cut off the head of a snake, it can still bite people. This is also the safest way to deal with the snake's head. After cutting off the snake's head, dispose of it directly.

These snakes, which were originally intended to prey on mice, never dreamed that one day they would become food that humans would flock to...

It can be said that the appearance of the snake plague not only did not make the survivors flinch, but also made countless survivors wave various weapons and eager to try.

After all, this snake weighs at least three or four pounds. Some larger snakes, about the size of ordinary pythons, weigh at least about 30 pounds. These are all fresh meat!

Nothing can stop humans from wanting to eat meat, not even poisonous snakes!

However, catching snakes is still a very dangerous behavior. Some unlucky people are directly bitten by poisonous snakes. Some snake venom is neurotoxic, and the whole person faints on the spot and eventually dies in a daze.

Some snake venom is hemorrhagic, causing people who are poisoned by the snake to howl in pain, as if they are suffering the most painful thing in the world. In short, there are not a few survivors who are bitten to death by poisonous snakes.

But there are unlucky ones and there are lucky ones. Some lucky ones killed many snakes, and they got hundreds of pounds of snake meat, which they dried into jerky, greatly enriching their food reserves.

How to describe these snakes? Some snakes that look colorful are actually non-venomous. The color is just to scare people. Some venomous snakes are really highly poisonous.

Although Li Ming patiently reminded the survivors not to go out and catch snakes at will, so as not to be bitten to death by snakes, it seems that his kind reminder had no effect. The survivors still went their own way to catch snakes. After all, it's the end of the world, what could be more terrible than not being able to eat meat?

The number of these snakes is also constantly entering the living space of humans along with the number of rats. This is a food chain, but no matter how many snakes there are, it's useless. Faced with humans who are already red-eyed for meat, the snake population of the snake plague began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even many survivors in the community have been divided into several factions, and they fight from time to time because of snake catching and rat catching activities.

Some intercept other people's prey, some take the initiative to grab it after seeing that others have gained something, and some compete for hunting grounds. In short, it's a lively scene.
