If Lu Zhe didn't have an unusually sensitive nose, he would never have smelled it.
Then he found a spot on some weeds, opened it up, and smelled it in front of his nose!
His heart ached immediately: He had frightened his beloved concubines again!
"What is this stuff?"
"Maybe pee pee!"
"Ah?"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment, took out a small cloth folded into a square from his pocket, and carefully smelled it again, and also smelled his fingers.
"It's a faint scent!"
Tang Xiaoguo felt like her Barbie doll had been ransacked: "Lu Zhe, what kind of freaky skill is this!"
"In the wilderness, a keen sense of smell is sometimes more important than eyesight!"
"Is your nose that good?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Believe it or not, I can smell it when any of you gets your period!"
Tang Xiaoguo was even more horrified: "No way!"
Lu Zhe made up nonsense: "This is a basic skill for guys, I just don't usually talk about it!"
As he spoke, he concentrated on breathing in and carefully distinguished the faint scent, confirming the spot where Qian Qian had walked through the grass.
"Sure enough, she went towards the woods, this way!"
With one hand holding a torch and the other pulling Tang Xiaoguo, Lu Zhe went inside!
The two fumbled in the woods for over two hours, and Qian Qian's faint urine smell faded away.
Lu Zhe was secretly worried, could he lose the trail?
Just then, Lu Zhe smelled another scent.
The smell of roast turkey!
He slowly looked up!
In the darkness, a wild turkey about as tall as Lu Zhe slowly walked out!
Perhaps harboring deep hostility towards humans, its eyes were now full of irritation and anger!
Tang Xiaoguo was so scared that she immediately ran behind Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe shielded Tang Xiaoguo and drew out his 30-style commando dagger: "Don't be afraid!"
Next, it charged at Lu Zhe and Tang Xiaoguo!
Tang Xiaoguo screamed in terror!
Lu Zhe wanted to find Ning Shu and Qian Qian as soon as possible, and was too lazy to discuss life with it. His left hand grabbed Tang Xiaoguo's neck and forced her down to avoid the turkey's attack, while his right hand swung the sharp blade forward!
"Shua..." A cold light flashed by, and something fell on Tang Xiaoguo's shoulder!
"What's this..." Tang Xiaoguo picked it up and was instantly dumbfounded!
A turkey head!
It was actually the turkey's head!
The head was pretty big, the beak half open, the eyes half closed, looking thoroughly dead!
Tang Xiaoguo was scared to death, screaming while trampling the turkey head into the ground.
Indeed, the turkey had misjudged Lu Zhe’s capabilities, thinking Tang Xiaoguo would flee at the sight of it like the other two girls!
Little did it expect that Lu Zhe didn’t even need his gun, and went straight for its weakest spot with one slash!
Instant kill!
No different from slaughtering a chicken.
But even more horrifying things happened next!
The headless turkey didn't fall down!
The pale moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating a headless turkey standing there!
Not to mention Tang Xiaoguo, even Lu Zhe felt goosebumps all over his body!
Next, the turkey’s bleeding neck thrashed around as it stumbled away!
It ran away??
A headless turkey actually ran away!
Have you ever seen anything like this?
In fact Lu Zhe had. Recalling his grandfather slaughtering chickens in his childhood courtyard, the decapitated chickens flying around crazily, he had felt something was off back then already.
Whereas Tang Xiaoguo directly screamed!
Lu Zhe quickly covered her mouth.
"It's okay, it's because the turkey's entire nervous system hasn't completely died yet, its heart and circulatory system are still working, supporting it to live for a period of time, but it won't last long."
Tang Xiaoguo asked shakily: "Not long...how long is that!"
Lu Zhe recalled reading in a magazine about a chicken named "Mike" that lived for 18 months after losing its head.
"Probably...no more than 18 months!"
"What? Eighteen months?"
Tang Xiaoguo imagined a headless chicken casually wandering around the woods, and almost fainted from fright.
Lu Zhe added: "But it has lost the ability to eat, with no one to care for it, so it probably won't last long!"
"Then...what do we do now?"
"Keep looking for the class monitor and Qian Qian!"
Saying so, Lu Zhe picked up the turkey head Tang Xiaoguo had trampled several times, all dirty and muddy, clearly thoroughly dead.
But Lu Zhe discovered the turkey's snood had signs of damage!
These were fresh wounds, caused by huge impact, no way Tang Xiaoguo's stomping could have done that!
"Gunshot wounds?"
If these were gun wounds, it meant Ning Shu and Qian Qian had encountered this turkey!
If so, could they ascertain if the two were injured?
"Let's go!"
"Go where?"
"Find that headless turkey!"
"Huh, what for?"
"Ask it some questions!"
Saying so, Lu Zhe pulled Tang Xiaoguo along to follow the turkey's blood trail, finding it 200 meters away!
Incredibly, it still wasn't dead!
Now it was wandering aimlessly around the woods!
"Little Zhe ge, I'm a bit scared..."
"Don't bullshit...gege is scared too!"
But for their companions, they had to grit their teeth and go on. Lu Zhe pressed down the headless turkey, and stabbed the 30-style commando dagger into its chest!
Fresh blood gushed out, and after a while, it finally stopped moving.
Lu Zhe knew a turkey's most dangerous weapons were its claws!
He picked it up and smelled it!
There was the scent of a bear, some of Ning Shu's scent, but no scent of Qian Qian!
Lu Zhe's heart skipped a beat!
Was Ning Shu injured?
He became increasingly anxious!
Where on earth were they!
"Fruit, don't stop, keep blowing the whistle!"
"Oh, okay!"
"Toot toot toot...toot toot toot..." The whistle sounded throughout the woods, but there was no response.
Lu Zhe could only keep searching nearby, but soon, he found more clues about the class monitor and Qian Qian!
200 meters from where they were attacked by the turkey, Lu Zhe discovered a pile of poop!
Very common in the wildlife-filled woods!
Boar's, goat's, monkey's...
Boar and bear poop was quite similar to human poop!
But Lu Zhe was certain this wasn't from a bear or boar!
Because no animal would cover up their poop with Mimosa pudica leaves after they finished.
Long days on the deserted island allowed the girls to adapt, always keeping spare sea sponges and some Mimosa leaves for when nature called.
"Why are you still playing with this stuff!"
"What playing, I'm trying to determine which companion this belongs to from the excrement, to assess Ning Shu and Qian Qian's current condition!"
"How to determine that?"
Lu Zhe carefully lifted the leaves, then searched on it!
A slightly mind-breaking affair, but Lu Zhe had to persevere!
Soon, he found something valuable!
A curled hair!
He excitedly said: "It's the class monitor's, she...she's still alive!"

Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person!

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
