Chapter 179 Whole Fish Feast

"Then why did you set up such a table? Are you trying to poison us and then use a cup of wine to relieve us of our military power?" Han Yu's eyes widened.

This guy is great in every way except he's so annoying! Mu Qingyu felt her fists hard every time she saw Han Yu!

"Oh, you saw through me. Why don't you run away?" Mu Qingyu rolled her eyes at Han Yu, too lazy to pay him any attention, and invited the others to sit down and eat.

Xiao Ai brought over two rice cookers, each filled to the brim with white rice.

Everyone else couldn't help but swallow hard. To be honest, apart from the people living in Building 3, although the others weren't lacking in supplies at the moment, they really couldn't eat this well on a regular basis!

Even if they have rice, they usually measure it carefully, unlike Mu Qingyu, who always has enough to eat!

Han Yu was probably joking. Since Mu Qingyu dared to put food on the table, it must be fine.

So everyone else sat down at the table, and Han Yu, not to be outdone, exclaimed, "Emma, ​​I knew when Boss Mu came back, there would be good food. Following the boss means there's plenty to eat!"

Mu Qingyu ignored Han Yu's flattery. If she could, she would have liked to shove that pot of boiled fish over Han Yu's head.

Mu Qingyu said that the fish in the river were not edible, and the others kept that in mind. As for where Mu Qingyu got the fish, none of the smart people present asked.

You can't just wolf down a fish, since you have to spit out the bones. There aren't any experts here who can swallow fish with the bones in their mouths.

So everyone simply ate slowly and chatted about recent events. It's the apocalypse now, and nobody cares about not speaking while eating or sleeping.

Mu Qingyu mainly supplemented the things she hadn't finished telling Jing Chen yesterday, while Jing Chen reported on the results of his discussion with Mo Huaiyu yesterday.

They added new job categories and a points system.

When the topic of replenishing supplies came up, Jing Chen sighed and said, "It seems that if we want to collect supplies in the future, we may have to go to even more distant places."

"Although the village is safer than the city, gathering supplies is still a big problem. According to Miss Mu, if we go to the city in the future, in addition to the threat of zombies, we will also have to face other humans!"

"Most importantly, many places in the city have already been searched nearby. If we travel a long way and find nothing... and then encounter robbery on the road..." it would be a complete loss.

Jingchen didn't say the last sentence, but everyone understood.

"Not necessarily." Mu Qingyu swallowed the last piece of fish in her mouth, feeling that she was almost full: "We people who live in the suburbs find it difficult to enter the city, and people in the city find it just as difficult to leave the city."

“We don’t necessarily have to focus on shopping malls, supermarkets and shops in the city. There are many places worth visiting in the suburbs as well—such as factories and docks!”

The reason Mu Qingyu chose this village was not only because it was sparsely populated, but also because it was relatively close to Mu Xiangyuan.

“Some logistics parks, some container yards, freight warehouses, freight terminals, and even express delivery warehouses. These places are almost all located in the suburbs because they require a lot of land. The same goes for factories, such as food factories and pharmaceutical factories,” Mu Qingyu said.

In fact, when Mu Qingyu mentioned the factory and the dock, Mu Qingrong had already taken out his small tablet and was looking up a map.

After observing for a while, Mu Qingrong frowned and said, "The good news is that we're near the dock, and there are two or three logistics parks and container warehouses nearby. There are two large factories, but one produces plastic products and the other produces textile machinery... There are no food factories..."

"As for small factories and workshops, they won't be marked on the map. There should be other small factories, but we'll have to find them ourselves." Mu Qingrong glanced at Han Yu as she said this.

The village that Han Yu and Gu Jianye occupied was just a village full of small workshops and factories.

"The dock was flooded in the early days of the apocalypse. The water should have receded recently, but I don't know if the things in the containers are damaged," Mu Qingyu said.

Jing Chen, however, became conflicted: "What I'm worried about now is whether we should immediately organize manpower to go out and find another batch of supplies while the weather is getting better, or whether we should first properly build up the village's defenses..."

Staying home is like living off our savings, but if we go out, we won't have enough people to help with the housework. We've been busy lately, and it feels like the village's population is suddenly insufficient...

No wonder ancient emperors worked hard to increase the population. In the absence of technology and machinery, population was the most basic resource and driving force for development.

"No need, you guys focus on the infrastructure at home, I'll go and make the trip to those places," Mu Qingyu said enthusiastically.

She's now addicted to going out by herself; it's very convenient for her not having to bring her family along.

People like to travel in groups, mainly because they lack strength and can make up for it with numbers. However, Mu Qingyu is now strong enough, so traveling alone is much easier and more comfortable for her.

She spread her hands, saying, "You guys take care of the infrastructure, and I'll take care of earning resources to support the family. Isn't that a clear division of labor? So I won't be involved in the village's construction. Don't ask me anything..." She was practically saying, "I'll take care of earning money to support the family, and you take care of being beautiful..."

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to say or whether relying on Mu Qingyu was a good thing or a bad thing.

In the end, Han Yu understood best: "Don't think that guarding the village is easy. Not to mention that there are many people in the village now, there may be more and more people in the future. How to keep these people from causing trouble is one aspect, especially when Boss Mu is not around."
