She was also lucky. Before the extreme heat came, she hunted a big fat pig weighing several hundred pounds. It was edible, but the meat was fishy and hard to chew.
She endured the nausea and made the meat into jerky. During the hottest days, the air was dry, so she would secretly take the meat out to dry and disinfect it every day. She survived by eating the smelly jerky every day, and only then was her muscles preserved.
Fortunately, she has been selling some tissues from the mutant beasts she hunted before every day, otherwise she might not be able to eat this roujiamo that is bigger than a bowl.
"What's wrong with me?" Yi Mengdie glared at him, as if she would put her hand on his face if he said another word.
"Who would dare not trust you with this outfit? I'll go to the Dawn Base to take a look now." Ding Deng found the opportunity and slipped away.
The rest of the people still surrounded her, and someone asked whether it was true or not, which made Yi Mengdie impatient.
"You can go or not, but why should I lie to you? Is it fun to lie to you?" Yi Mengdie protected the food and walked forward, cursing, "A bunch of idiots, don't you think about the end of the world? What's there to lie about? It's faster for me to go kill a few more zombies than to lie to you."
"What can I cheat you out of? You think you can cheat me out of my pension? You're even poorer than me, and you still think I can cheat people."
"Just starve to death, you idiots."
Yi Mengdie has a good temper when no one bothers her, but if someone says something she doesn't like, she will explode at the slightest provocation.
Everyone looked at her cursing back and dispersed in less than half a minute.
Maybe they just deserve to be scolded. When someone recommends something to them, they start to suspect there is a trap and wonder what the person who recommends it to them wants.
But if the other party turns hostile and starts swearing at them, they will 99.99% believe that what she recommends is true.
Some people ran towards the gate, some ran back. Those who didn't understand what was going on asked those who were running back what they were doing.
The man simply said, "Let your family go with you to take a look. If it's fake, you won't suffer any loss. If it's real, you won't suffer any loss either."
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and went home to get help.
The same situation occurred at Eclipse Base, but the people who left earlier did not have as much of an impact as Yi Mengdie. After most of the people at Shengtian Base had fled to Dawn Base, the people at Eclipse Base finally reacted and started lining up.
People from the two small bases nearby kept pouring into the Dawn Base, and the number only increased and never decreased. The entire base was filled with people, queuing in circles around the base.
That’s how it was, people lined up almost to the gate of the base.
This was a grand occasion that had never been seen in any other festival. The top leaders of the three bases were alarmed and came to the Dawn Base. They sat together and were interrupted by Cheng Ju before they could say a few words.
“Meals purchased at the Grape Dining Cart.”
After saying this, Cheng Ju hurried back in a hurry.
The base commanders and senior executives of the three bases remained looking at each other in bewilderment.
No one could resist the temptation of hot meals. The commander of the Dawn Base spoke first: "How about we eat something together first? It's not too late to discuss it after we finish eating." In fact, he himself could not resist it.
Eclipse Base Commander: "Then... eat something?"
The head of Shengtian Base: "Eat something, eat something."
The variety and fillings of dumplings alone shocked them. Even the hot rice, which is the most irresistible thing for southerners, has several side dishes.
Fortunately, Cheng Ju brought a lot, and there was just enough roujiamo for everyone.
Chinese people do not pay attention to separate meals when eating. If they want to eat rice, they will divide the rice into portions for each person, put the vegetables and dumplings in the middle, and eat them all with chopsticks.
After finishing their meal, the leaders and senior executives rubbed their stomachs and chatted with each other in a random manner.
"I haven't eaten this well in a long time."
"I heard the stall owner is a girl. How can we keep her here?"
It is always true that it is easier to talk after a full meal. Now their conversation is calm and Buddhist.
"If you want to keep a woman's heart, you must keep her stomach."
"But it's because she has my stomach that I want to keep a woman."
The base commander of Shengtian Base slumped over. "How about I give her my position?" A base commander has to work and eat poorly. If he works with her, he'll have better food. The crystal cores he has saved are enough to support his family for the rest of his life.
The most important thing is that being a base chief requires you to take on a lot of work. I thought being a base chief was a good life, but in fact, only those who have the job will understand.
"Here, give her yours."
The base commander of the Eclipse Base wanted to lie down on the chair to make his stomach feel better.
"One isn't enough. I'll give her my position as base commander, and we can retire together."
"If we can find a fish pond, it would be great if we could go fishing together."
The head of Shengtian Base: "You're dreaming! Fishing? Do I look like a fish to you?"
After the three base chiefs signed a coexistence agreement, they frequently visited each other, and after their relationship improved, they could even joke and tease each other.
The commander of Dawn Base said, "Seriously, stop joking. Why would they want our base? They'd even provide food and drink. Only a fool would want one."
Eclipse Base was in a state of dismay. "What if? What if he gets tired of the good life and wants to be the base commander?"
"Let's quickly think about what chips we have in our hands that can keep them here."
Dawn Base Commander: "I've thought of one. We don't know her well. If she... we'd be in great danger."
The Eclipse Base Commander said: "What's the big risk? There are so many lives at stake. As long as we can keep them alive, we can use anything."
"Brother, are you saying... give the water source away?" The base commander of Shengtian immediately understood what the bargaining chip he was talking about was.
"It's raining everywhere now, how could she be short of water?" The Eclipse Base Commander sat up straight and said seriously.
"That's not just any water..."
The more they talked, the more the three base commanders felt that it was feasible. This was a serious matter, and they couldn't make a hasty decision.
The three of them looked at the senior executives from various bases sitting in a circle, "What do you think?"
Most of the top leaders at each base support it, and there is almost no opposition.
"The water is magical, but compared to having normal food every day, I think food is more important."
"If you can eat enough, your physical fitness will inevitably improve, and the benefits you can gain from this are immeasurable."
"I support exchanging water sources."
"I support that, too."
Base Captain Dawn remained calm: "What if she doesn't want to?"
"Keep increasing the stakes and give her the crystal core. Isn't she here to set up a stall? If not for the crystal core, why else?"
"Have you ever considered that her equipment is so professional, it's obvious this isn't her first time setting up a stall. Why didn't the last base she set up a stall at stay?"
