My neighborhood has time-traveled.

Chapter 17: Abundant Resources, Grab

Li Hao glanced at the people from Dawn, each of whom had a red cloth strip tied around their left arm.

It seems that Wang Hao has a special fondness for the color red.

The property is green.

The Huang family is associated with the color yellow.

Zhao Meng's side was black.

The four groups used these strips of cloth to distinguish themselves from each other.

Damascus collector Zhang Jingfeng approached. He was very burly with well-defined muscles, clearly someone who regularly worked out at the gym.

He looked Li Hao up and down and asked curiously, "You're very strong. How do you usually train?"

Li Hao glanced at the sun; the sunlight was bright but not glaring at all. He smiled and said, "I'll start training now."

The sunlight shone on him, and his skin continuously absorbed the energy.

My body feels warm and cozy.

He is getting stronger every moment.

Zhang Jinfeng glanced at the two suns in the sky, puzzled.

I didn't ask any more questions.

The crowd left the residential area and stepped onto the grass.

The first row of people raised their shields.

As you walk, grasshoppers jump out and crash into the shield, making a series of clanging sounds.

Grasshoppers come in all sizes, some as big as a fist, others about the size of an average grasshopper on Earth.

"Wow, it's huge!"

"These insects are all edible."

"Deep-fried tastes better."

The residents, brandishing their weapons and with excitement on their faces, pounced on the grasshoppers.

For humans on Earth, insects are all edible.

It's still a pretty good dish.

Some individuals have a particular fondness for this.

As they went on, some people approached low shrubs and found them laden with fruit.

"There are so many wild fruits here."

Different types of shrubs produce a wide variety of fruits.

There are red, yellow, and purple ones.

Everyone rushed to pick the wild fruits and put them into their bags.

"Mine, mine!" they exclaimed, afraid of being too slow in picking them.

More than 500 people swarmed through the area like locusts, quickly trampling the grassy ground.

After the wild fruit was picked, the bushes were cut down with a machete.

In just a short while, a large open space was revealed.

"This one has to be big!"

A man spotted a grasshopper the size of a fist and, without hesitation, chased after it with a kitchen knife.

With a single, effortless leap, the grasshopper's powerful hind legs gave it an astonishing jumping ability, easily covering more than three meters.

"Mine is big too!"

A woman found a praying mantis the size of a fist.

In the grass, a praying mantis stretched out its two sickles, its triangular head slightly turned, and its two pairs of large compound eyes stared ahead.

She immediately abandoned the smaller one and went to catch the larger one.

Near the property management office, a girl picked a purple wild fruit from a tree, put it in her mouth, and tasted it.

"It's so sweet."

Zhang Xiaonan and her companions picked wild fruits, watched the colorful butterflies fluttering in the distance, and breathed in the fresh air, feeling incredibly relaxed.

She finally left that house and was finally able to support herself.

A man put a large grasshopper into his bag and said to the person next to him, "It's just a plain, there aren't many wild animals."

Looking around, all I saw were low grasses and shrubs; I didn't see any animals, and everything was peaceful.

"There's no danger at all," the other person agreed.

The fact that they could see their surroundings at a glance gradually made them lower their guard.

The people on the plain felt as if they had arrived at the seaside, and they buried themselves in collecting seashells, busy and happy for a while.

This is the joy of a bountiful harvest.

They happily caught insects and picked wild fruits, feeling like they were on a trip.

Insects were thrown into the bag one by one.

Wild berries filled my mouth.

A smile played on everyone's lips.

Li Hao caught a small grasshopper, cut open its head, and found no pebbles the size of rice grains, only a white gland.

He told Li Wen, "It seems that not all creatures have it."

Li Wen nodded, "Yeah, brother, I just cut a small one too, and I didn't have that little stone."

Li Hao picked out a gland, tasted it, and found that its energy content was negligible, about the same as that of a kiwi.

Make sure the small insect doesn't have any pebbles in its head.

So the two of them specifically chose the larger ones to grab.

Li Hao sliced ​​a grasshopper the size of a fist in two with a single stroke.

He twisted the grasshopper's neck, cut open its head with a Damascus knife, and pulled out a small pebble the size of a grain of rice.

After glancing around to make sure no one was watching, he covered his mouth with his hand and then popped it in.

"Click."

Bite it open and swallow it directly.

The familiar warmth immediately spread throughout my body.

A full-body baptism.

The muscles felt noticeably swollen.

"That feels good."

He grinned and looked at Li Wen, who, like him, had caught a grasshopper the size of a fist, cut open its head, and swallowed a small pebble.

As they moved forward, more and more insects appeared: beetles, bees, butterflies, and each of these insects had different horns on their foreheads.

They vary in size, and the larger the insect, the larger the horn on its forehead.

The wild fruits in front gradually increased.

Wang Hao and his brothers discovered a wild yam plant with thick roots and vines covered with green leaves.

"I estimate that if we dig up this wild yam completely, it would weigh several hundred pounds," Wang Hao said to the group.

They are all retired armed police officers who frequently go to the field and have experience in this area.

In the wild, yams are a top-quality food source.

The group immediately decided to dig out the yams together.

I took out an entrenching tool from my backpack and started digging along the roots.

"These are ours." The group protected the wild yams, preventing others from getting close.

Others bypassed them and went around to pick kiwis from another kiwi tree.

There were also a dozen or so people picking wild mulberries around a few trees.

There were even more wild fruits whose names I didn't know, and the area around them was packed with people.

There are many wild fruits and abundant resources here, so there's no need to worry about not having a harvest.

Li Hao and Li Wen passed by wild fruits, glanced at them, but didn't pick them. Instead, they specifically targeted the larger insects.

After all, only insects have pebbles.

Even in broad daylight, insects have nowhere to hide from his infrared thermal imaging.

They're accurate every time they catch someone.

While others were still getting a glimpse of the large insect, the two had already rushed over.

They caught him in no time.

In a short time, they had already captured six grasshoppers the size of fists around them.

They ate the pebbles and threw the insect corpses into the bag.

After Li Hao and Li Wen snatched several large grasshoppers from them, the other Dawn members following them couldn't help but frown.

"These two run too fast. If you follow them, you can't catch any big ones at all."

"yes."

So the other members of Dawn avoided Li Hao and Li Wen and went to other places to catch insects.

Li Hao and Li Wen didn't care about this and continued to delve deeper.

The deeper you go, the larger the insects become.

Huang Jingchen led five people and slowly approached, glancing at Li Hao and Li Wen, who were alone beside him.

He said to the other four, "Don't rush, let's wait until they're almost full before we go and grab it."

Unbeknownst to them, Li Hao and Li Wen became increasingly intimate.

"Brother, look over there! That one's as big as a watermelon!"

Li Wen excitedly pointed to a grasshopper in front of him.

The grasshopper was as big as a watermelon, and its whole body was even greener.

Huang Jingchen and the others also noticed.

"Hurry and grab it!"

At the same time, he ran towards the grasshopper.

Li Hao and Li Wen were even faster, rushing towards the grasshopper in an instant.

The grasshopper suddenly sprang out, leaping more than ten meters away, leaving the two of them behind.

It landed right next to Huang Jingchen and his group, which made them overjoyed. "It's ours!"

Several men, weapons in hand, charged forward.

The grasshopper leaped again with its hind legs, jumping several times in succession, leaving everyone far behind.

"Chase!"

Li Hao, Li Wen, Huang Jingchen, and the others all chased after the grasshopper, which was the size of a watermelon.

"Surround it."

Li Hao shouted.

Upon hearing this, the crowd formed a circle, surrounding the grasshopper in the middle.

The grasshopper happened to bounce in Li Hao's direction.

Li Hao spotted the grasshopper's landing spot, took a few steps forward, and slashed it hard across the neck with his knife.

"puff."

The grasshopper was cut in two, its head and body separated.

The body and head were thrown into the air and landed in two places about three meters apart.

"Hurry and grab it!"

Huang Jingchen led five people to rush towards the grasshopper's corpse.
