A strong smell of blood wafted from the back seat, and Lu Ming subconsciously pinched his nose.

“The smell is really pungent,” he thought.

Lu Ming frowned silently.

As expected, the air conditioner was useless, even though he had already lowered the temperature enough.

However, the conditions were there after all. The temperature was not low enough. In such hot weather, the pork rotted faster than he excepted.

“Let’s dismember it and eat it,” Lu Ming said to himself, shrugging helplessly. He squatted near the back seat of the car and began to process the pork.

Only half a day had passed since he put down the bottle, but the pig’s blood inside had already solidified beautifully. When he took it out and held it in his hand, it was like a piece of moist blood tofu.

Lu Ming was very satisfied just by looking at the solidified pig’s blood.

Before coming to this place, Lu Ming was used to using it to make soup with tofu and green onions. However, he probably wouldn’t do it here.

After all, it was too extravagant to make soup with such ingredients!

Now was the time when water was most scarce, and almost everyone who had water drank it directly. How many people could afford to be extravagant and make soup?

“It’s better to keep it for trading.”

After a simple consideration, Lu Ming carefully placed the plastic bottle in the buckle on the back seat of the car.

Since there were so many people participating in this Road Survival Game, he could find someone who would be interested in trading for it in the chat square.

“Now, it’s time to completely dismember this wild boar.”

Looking at the wild boar in front of him, Lu Ming took out the knife in his hand and made a simple cut on the wild boar’s body.

Although he had never killed a pig before, but he had seen butchers dismembering pork when he went to the market to buy vegetables.

“The first step… should be to empty the internal organs!”

Lu Ming muttered to himself as he gripped the boar’s leg tightly with one hand. He bit its teeth and turned the boar over forcefully, revealing its fragile abdomen.

“Then, he should cut down the throat and slowly cut it open, but…”

If he cut it in advance, he would not be able to clean the hard and bristly hair on the surface of the wild boar. After all, this was the biggest difference between wild boars and domestic pigs. The surface of a wild boar is covered with a layer of hard, bristly brown hair.

“Before cutting open the wild boar’s stomach and taking out its internal organs, it’s better to clean the fur on the surface of the body first. Otherwise, how would I eat it?”

Just looking at the furry abdomen made Lu Ming feel terrified.

The memory of the hairy braised pork in the university cafeteria stuck in his throat, causing him a lot of discomforts.

He felt as if a very hard brush with lots of furs was stuck in his throat, causing pain and itching.

However, after using his military saber to scratch it twice, he realized that it was not very effective.

Although he had shaved the fur on the surface clean, the roots of the pig’s hair were still embedded in his skin.

Whenever he processed pork, he would simply use hot water to briefly scald the entire piece of pork. When it expanded and contracted, the extra hard pig hair would break through the skin, making it easier to remove them with tweezers.

But in this place, he wouldn’t be able to do that.

Thinking about this, Lu Ming subconsciously scratched his head.

Where could he find hot water in such a desolate place?

“How about…?”

Looking at the wild boar in front of him, Lu Ming had an idea.

Anyway, the wild boar was already like this. So, Lu Ming decided to simply remove the fur and skin from the wild boar and keep the whole thing. He would not have to think about how to pluck the fur anymore. Therefore, the pig skin was also very delicious. However, since he could not find a way to pluck the fur for the time being, he decided to dry the pig skin and store it for later.

As for the fur on the boar, he would process it in the future.

With this in mind, Lu Ming took out his Fish Scale Military Saber and wiped it with the cloth he was wearing. He then made a few simple gestures on the wild boar before beginning to cut.

The belly meat was one of the most tender parts of the wild boar and also tended to have a lot of fat. However, after removing the skin, there was only a small amount of meat left.

Holding the Fish Scale Military Saber in his hand, Lu Ming carefully inserted it into the gap between the boar’s skin and muscles and began to cut.

After a while, he successfully peeled off a nearly perfect piece of wild boar skin.

“The result is pretty good!” Lu Ming said, shaking the boar skin in his hand, which still had a slight smell of blood. Now, he wouldn’t have to worry about plucking the fur anymore.

The sun had not yet completely set, so in the hot weather, leaving the wild boar skin outside to dry would be effective.

Lu Ming covered the surface of the car with pig skin and waited for the hot sun to roast it into thin slices.

While drying the pig skin, Lu Ming returned to the car and dismembered the entire wild boar into pieces of pork along the lines of the muscles.

Every time he dismembered it, the system would ring a notification that he could increase the quantity of the pork.

However, even if he could increase the quantity of pork now, Lu Ming did not plan to use it for the time being. After all, even if the quantity of pork was increased, he would not be able to finish it. He could not put it in his car now.

If there was a trailer behind his car, he might be able to put these extra supplies inside.

However, although this thing did not exist in the early stages of the game, but it would appear in the later stages of the game.

Actually, Lu Ming was more worried about other things than food, such as the wild beasts that could appear at any time and other players who could threaten his life at any time.

Today’s encounter with the wild boar had sounded the alarm for Lu Ming. If he hadn’t had a Fish Scale Military Saber, he wouldn’t have been able to fight with the wild boar.

However, even if he didn’t encounter wild boars during normal days, there would still be dangerous wolves appearing in the game at night.

But no matter what, as long as he had the Fish Scale Military Saber in his hand, he would not be threatened by these wild beasts in the short term.

However, judging from the situation at the crimson moon, it’s likely that the difficulty of this road game will only get higher and higher in the future.

At that time, he didn’t know what would happen.

Lu Ming leaned back on the recliner, tired and rested. He took out the medical first aid kit he had picked up during the day and examined it carefully.

Compared to amplifying pork, it’s better to enhance these small things that don’t take up much space.

It’s also a good idea to prepare for the next battle.

“Amplify!”

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the medical kit in his hand was immediately coated with a layer of military green.

Its overall size immediately doubled, and the previously shrunken medical kit became bulging.

“Congratulations! The medical kit has been upgraded to a military first aid kit.”
