Chapter 223: King Rat Leather
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The two tangled themselves in the noon of June.
Zhang Xiao Qiang walked out of the doors with contentment. He turned his head back and looked into the villa, towards Yuan Yi’s room window, at the window curtains, laughed, then turned and walked towards the valley.
After Yuan Yi’s injuries, Zhang Xiao Qiang did not get intimate with her. Zhang Xiao Qiang’s agreed with the saying ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’, he felt extremely good, not any ordinarily good, but even his footsteps became faster and lighter as compared to other days. All the fatigue and anxiousness were swept away. Thinking about Yuan Yi who was still in bed, he chuckled, then increased his pace once more.
Ever since the construction workers came, Wang le was completely free from helping in the construction of the wall and led his own team of 5 to 6 subordinates to work in his own repair shop. His repair shop was located at the cave, which was cleaned out under the orders of Zhang Xiao Qiang. Wang Le immediately took the cave as his own home and ate and slept in there while working from daylight to night time.
Immediately after entering the cave, Zhang Xiao Qiang stumbled over some steel bars. He looked as far out as he could see and thought that he had entered a junkyard. The originally large interior had been filled up with stacks and piles of materials and tools. The generator specific for the cave kept releasing buzzing sounds from the inside, and along with the cutting tools inside the cave made Zhang Xiao Qiang dizzy and felt the desire to leave.
Zhang Xiao Qiang endured the torture of his eardrums and found the busy Wang Le squatted on the ground. Zhang Xiao Qiang patted him on his back a few times, awakening Wang Le from his focus. Wang Le said a few words but due to the ruckus all around them, Zhang Xiao Qiang pulled him to the cave entrance.
At that moment, Wang Le’s entire face was covered with sweat, his blue work clothes stained with red rust and black oil, his chest and back wet from his perspiration. Looking at him, Zhang Xiao Qiang was unwilling to ask him, but Zhang Xiao Qiang badly needed a bulletproof and penetration-proof battle suit and had no choice but to rely on Wang Le.
“Did you check up on the king rat? Can its leather be used to make a battle suit?” Zhang Xiao Qiang kept thinking about the king rat’s fur, fur that could block against shrapnel was definitely top grade.
“Brother Cockroach, the fur is not easy to work with. The six of us had to spend an entire day to peel the skin of its body. Oh right, we relied on your spear to break a hole in its weakest point, at its stomach. It was only after producing over 100 small holes were we able to peel the skin out. You don’t know about this, but I suspect that the sturdiness of the leather is something even a 14.5mm bullet can’t break through.”
While Wang Le complained to Zhang Xiao Qiang, Zhang Xiao Qiang lowered his head and pondered. He did not expect that even cutting tools were unable to cut through the leather. If they could not process the leather, then wasn’t it useless?
“Then what about the claws? What are you guys doing with it?” Upon thinking about how easy the claws could cut through rebars, Zhang Xiao Qiang became anxious. The claws were definitely not as weak as his Beast Horn Spear and Zhang Xiao Qiang was unwilling for it to be passed onto others. He wanted such treasures for himself.
On the topic of the king rat claws, Wang Le immediately became excited. He looked at Zhang Xiao Qiang and replied enthusiastically: “Brother Cockroach, the claws are definitely precious, they can cut through metal like grass and I even tried it on a piece of D2 skin, guess what happened? With a sweep, the D2’s skin, that isn’t even afraid of bullets was cut into two like paper, erm….kraft paper.”
At this point, Wang Le looked at Zhang Xiao Qiang earnestly and begged: “Take a look at it? Can you leave a few for us here? These claws are extremely good as tools, a pity that only the front claws are usable, there are a total of 8, if I….”
“No, we can’t have such things be accessible to anyone.” Zhang Xiao Qiang refused Wang Le immediately. To him, the longest claw was 30cm long, which was slightly short to be a weapon. Even if they added the black joints of the claws, it was less than 50cm.
“Have you tried using the claws to cut the leather?” Zhang Xiao Qiang thought about the ancient saying. ‘To contradict oneself’, he wanted to test if the claws were sharper or the skin was tougher.
Wang Le shook his head: “We only managed to finish skinning the rat yesterday. The chef took the entire king rat away this morning and I’m still waiting to check if there are still any claws left. You don’t know the chefs’ conduct, he is a wild goose, who knows if he will hide”
Before entering the kitchen, a large plastic shed could be seen by the side. A lady in chef clothes patrolled by the side. Upon passing through the large plastic shed, Zhang Xiao Qiang saw green vegetables inside. It seemed as though the female chef was in charge of preventing theft.
Upon entering the kitchen, they saw Fat Chef wielding a chopper that had a crack, in a daze while facing a skeleton. By the chef’s side was a large pot filled with the scraps of meat from the large rat. A large crimson plastic container contained the innards. The skeleton still had dark red meat let on it. With Fat Chef’s personality, he was not willing to waste any of it, and wanted to boil the bones in soup.
Looking at the large crack on the chopper, Wang Le laughed. He patted on Fat Chef’s back and spoke, “Hahaha, this thing isn’t something you or your lousy chopper can handle. You, sigh, just give the rat back to me.”
Fat Chef turned and was just about to quarrel with Wang Le when he saw Zhang Xiao Qiang. All the profanities at the tip of his tongue were forcefully swallowed back in as he quickly rushed forward and greeted Zhang Xiao Qiang.
Zhang Xiao Qiang nodded and walked forward and inspected the large skeletons. Aside from the pieces of meat left on the bones, there was still the massive rat head. There was no need to go into details about the disgusting rat head, the white skeleton framework had skeletons different from the ones Zhang Xiao Qiang frequently see. Although they were white, it was unlike the white of a person’s bones, but a type of lustrous and sparkling white.
Zhang Xiao Qiang had never seen elephant tusks and did not know whether an elephant’s tusk would be more lustrous than the bones in front of him. He looked towards Wang Le.
