The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 392 - 385 Revelation

The single-humped camel, should be the most commonly seen large animal in the desert, especially in Biliya, where many domesticated yet wild-returning single-humped camels are indeed not few.

Therefore, encountering a group of camels in the desert is not a very rare occurrence.

The convoy came to a halt, and everyone was looking at a dead single-humped camel, which only seemed massive when approached up close.

"One is enough, too many can’t be eaten."

Even with a group of big-bellied men who hadn’t seen meat in a long time, even with Gao Yuan, the super big-belly, but a single-humped camel was still enough for everyone to have a good meal, because the weight of an adult single-humped camel can reach five hundred to six hundred kilograms.

The camel that Li Jingang had knocked down with a single shot was quite large, weighing at least five hundred kilograms, that is, over a thousand pounds.

That is to say, after slaughtering a single-humped camel, at least two hundred and fifty kilograms of meat could be yielded.

Five hundred pounds of pure meat, and no matter how much ten or so people ate, it would never finish, and with the extremely hot climate in the desert, it wouldn’t take a day for it to spoil, so, since the goal was to fill bellies, it was certain no one would or should hunt two camels.

A vehicle stopped, and Cao Zhenjiang opened the door, then he ran towards the camel, shouting, "Move aside, move aside, hurry up and bleed it, or it won’t taste good."

As he spoke, Cao Zhenjiang pulled out a knife, then he cut the throat of the camel, immediately following with an urgent voice, "Help lift the camel, soon we won’t be able to bleed it anymore, we should take out as much blood as we can now."

Xinghe stood by with an excited expression, asking, "Why do we need to bleed it?"

"Without bleeding, it doesn’t taste good; it has a gamey, stinky smell."

While talking, Cao Zhenjiang made several more cuts, saying, "If we could have just slaughtered it with a knife, it would have been convenient to drain the blood clean, but since it was shot first, it’s definitely affected."

Gao Yuan stamped his foot with slight regret, saying, "Why didn’t you say so earlier, if you had told me, I would have captured it alive!"

Ashraf slung his gun over his shoulder and silently went over to help Cao Zhenjiang skin the camel, showing a rather skilled technique.

The bloody scene wasn’t something everyone could handle, and Xinghe soon furrowed his brow, "Indeed, it’s no problem eating an animal’s meat, but watching an animal become food in its entirety is not pleasant."

Gao Yuan said with concern, "If you can’t take it, don’t watch, just wait to eat."

Actually, regarding wild game, Gao Yuan was completely indifferent, because from his experience, wild game usually didn’t taste good, such as wild boar, which had tough, coarse meat and a strange flavor. Before meeting Xiang Weiguo, eating wild boar was far from a pleasant thing.

Now it was to be seen whether Cao Zhenjiang was skilled enough to make the wild camel’s meat palatable.

"Such a pity, such a pity..."

Cao Zhenjiang voiced his regret, "So good, so much offal, and to waste it like this, sigh, if only we didn’t lack water..."

After speaking with visible distress, Cao Zhenjiang looked up and said, "Don’t just stand there, find something to store the meat in."

Nie Erlong suddenly said, "The hump is the real treasure, it’s one of the eight delicacies, and the camel’s paw is great too, it can pass for bear’s paw."

Cao Zhenjiang, without lifting his head, retorted, "Nonsense, of course, they’re treasures, but do you know how to cook them? I surely can’t. I’ve never even come in contact with such high-grade ingredients, let alone eat or prepare them, I haven’t even seen them."

Nie Erlong hesitated for a moment before he too joined the ranks of those helping, and by the looks of it, he seemed quite accustomed to the work.

A chef can cook, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he knows how to butcher, a simple truth, yet Cao Zhenjiang could, as could Ashraf, and judging by the way Nie Erlong was trimming off chunks of meat, he seemed quite adept at it too.

"Wow, Er Long’s been hiding his light under a bushel," exclaimed Cao Zhenjiang in surprise.

Nie Erlong cracked a smile, looking rather proud on his square, character-like face, then he chuckled, "I used to be a chef, had my own restaurant."

Cao Zhenjiang looked even more astonished and asked, "That’s not right, aren’t you a public servant?"

Nie Erlong wiped his chin with the back of his unbloodied hand and whispered, "What public servant, I’m just a temp helping out in a town..."

Cao Zhenjiang was taken aback again, then shook his head resignedly and said, "Boy, you’ve really kept it under wraps. Alright then, do you know how to prepare a camel hump?"

Nie Erlong sneered and replied, "Do I look like a chef who could handle such an ingredient? I’ve only heard about it, the boasting kind, does that count as knowing how to make it?"

Sirte was getting anxious on the side because among everyone here, he and Cross had been away from meat the longest.

"It’s enough, it’s enough, can we throw the rest away now?"

Sirte looked exasperated and pointed at areas with more meat, saying, "Here, and here, let’s not bother with the rest, there’s hardly any meat."

Unfortunately, the three people who were actually handling the meat couldn’t understand English, yes, Sirte had switched to English, but Cao Zhenjiang and his companions didn’t understand a word.

After Li Jingang interpreted for him, Cao Zhenjiang immediately dismissed the idea, saying, "Would you just think how wasteful these foreigners are, throwing away so much meat? Are you kidding me? I already feel bad enough about not using the entrails, let alone throwing away all this meat, what a pity."

By this time, Gao Yuan couldn’t bear to look at the bloody scene anymore because he was accompanying Xinghe.

After more than half an hour, the butchering work was finally done, and next, they needed to find a suitable place to cook.

They had not planned to stay in a village near the Blackrock Desert, but to make a good meal out of this meat, Gao Yuan and his team actually went back over thirty kilometers to find an oasis village that had long been abandoned.

Nothing else mattered but finding a place with water and firewood for cooking; this small village was the only one close to the Blackrock Desert, but on the map, and in the administrative level under Biliya, this place with just a dozen houses was classified as a town.

The deadwood was lit, and the meat cut into small pieces began to sizzle; in the field kettle that Cao Zhenjiang never forgot to carry with him, the meat chunks also started to stew.

But until now, nobody knew if the camel meat was tasty or not.

No, maybe someone did know.

The Egg Bomb Squad, all five of them, had not given any opinion from start to finish, but now they were scattered around, waiting to eat the meat, with two of them clearly looking very expectant and knowing.

Finally, Li Jingang asked in English, "Is camel meat tasty?"

The two nodded together, then one of them said with a smile, "Delicious, very delicious."

Li Jingang laughed, and just as he was about to share his discovery with Gao Yuan, he saw Xinghe already smiling. Then she turned to Gao Yuan and said, "They say it’s very delicious, it looks like your concern was unnecessary."

Xinghe’s reaction made many people laugh, Gao Yuan included. He was about to speak, but then he saw Xinghe suddenly freeze, and she quickly picked up the "Revelation" that was under her buttocks, shouting, "I need to go to the bathroom, you come with me."
