Chapter 19: Animals that Failed to Mutate



The two tied-up men looked as pale as if they had been dead for three days. Their eyes were open a tiny slit, empty and without focus.

After enduring the pain of ants gnawing at their hearts all night, the two were already dying, and their life was worse than death.

Jiang He deliberately let the system spare their lives, so that they would die too easily and it would be too easy for them.

Both of them had a sign hanging around their necks.

"Killing your wife and daughter is worse than an animal."

"Eating human flesh and drinking human blood is like eating a filthy, rotten heart and lungs."

"What does this mean? Zhang Shuying and Zhou Xiangdong killed their daughter-in-law and granddaughter and ate their flesh?"

Thinking of asking Zhang Shuying about the poor mother and daughter yesterday, Zhu Yuxia couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end and a chill on her back.

This kind of person can cruelly kill even his own flesh and blood, and sooner or later he will extend his evil hands to others.

Marrying into their family and being born in their family is such bad luck!

Although this incident did not happen to them, the villagers still could not hide their anger.

They stood in front of the basketball hoop, pointed at the two men's noses, spitted out foul language, and spit flew all over the air.

Only when he was tired of scolding did he stop and go to the side to queue up to buy something.

An upgraded van with an improved trunk.

Open the tailgate and you will see a retractable shelf inside. Pull it out completely and place it on the ground to create a shelf that is three meters long, two meters high and one and a half meters wide.

The space for placing goods is four to five times more than that of a tricycle.

Jiang He didn't buy much goods this time, and the shelves were not even full.

The doors on both sides of the van can be pushed and pulled left and right, and can also be pulled directly upwards to become a roof to protect against wind and rain.

Jiang He opened the left door. The rear compartment and the folding space were connected. There were no seats. The empty platform was used to place a hot water table, a microwave oven and a refrigerator.

The sumptuous lunch box made everyone dizzy with its delicious aroma.

I looked at the price, 300 points.

Well, they can't afford it.

After wiping the saliva from the corners of their mouths, everyone continued to budget carefully, wishing they could split each point into two halves to spend.

Compared with boxed lunches, bread and biscuits are more cost-effective for them.

After all, once the points are used up, they are really gone, and there is no place for them to earn more.

The boxed lunches and braised dishes were selling slowly, but Jiang He was not in a hurry. If she couldn't sell them, she could keep them for herself.

In less than an hour, most of the items in the supermarket were sold out, leaving only two boxed lunches, three boxes of braised dishes and some other snacks and drinks.

At noon, Jiang He ate a box lunch, two boxes of braised dishes, and a bottle of iced cola with tears in her eyes.

This is the standard of living she deserves!

Cao Songshan had something to talk to her about, so he waited for a long time. Unexpectedly, although Boss Jiang was small in stature, she had a big appetite.

I finally saw her put away her chopsticks, but she picked up a bag of tiger skin chicken feet and started to eat them.

Cao Songshan immediately withdrew his leg, squatted on the ground and waited for more than ten minutes, counting how much Boss Jiang had eaten, including three tiger-skin chicken feet, two sausages, a braised egg, and a handful of beef jerky.

When her legs became numb from squatting, she stood up and took a skinny orange cat out of the car.

Cao Songshan seized the opportunity, walked up and shouted:

"Boss Jiang!"

Jiang He took out the chicken breast, tore it into small pieces, and threw it in front of Xiaoju.

The little orange cat was eating hard, and his throat was making gurgling sounds like a tractor.

"Meow, meow~"

Delicious, really fragrant!

After seeing this, Cao Songshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's really good to follow Boss Jiang, even cats can eat meat.

"Hey, isn't this the cat that Old Lady Zhao raised? How could it still be alive?"

Jiang He raised his head and asked, "Do you recognize it?"

Cao Songshan smiled and nodded: "Look at the small piece missing from its right ear, isn't it the Sang Biao raised by Old Lady Zhao?

In the past, it often fought with the dogs in the village. A dog bit off a small piece of flesh from its ear. The dog was much worse off than it, with blood all over its body and its hind leg lame for more than half a month.

Sang Biao once bit someone else's goose to death, so Old Lady Zhao tied it up."

The system was very excited: [I said I was right. It didn't have the fate of a chicken, but it also had the fate of a goose!]

As if it understood what Cao Songshan said, the little orange cat raised its head, its round eyes filled with tears, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

Jiang He felt his hands itchy and couldn't help but scratch its chin.

"I found it in the yard. Doesn't that old lady Zhao want it anymore?"

In the end times, supplies are scarce and humans can’t even support themselves, so it’s normal to abandon pets at home.

"Not really, Mrs. Zhao died of a heart attack half a month ago.

She was an elderly widower, and this cat had been with her for several years, almost like a family member. During the past six months of the apocalypse, she had saved her food and shared it with Sang Biao, allowing it to survive.

After the old man passed away, the villagers never saw the cat again and thought it was dead."

It's a miracle that it can survive until now after not being fed for half a month and with an iron chain tied around its neck.

[Host, this world is different from the apocalypse you have experienced before. There are no zombies, but there will be mutant beasts, mutant insects, mutant plants, etc., competing with humans for survival territory.

This cat may have begun to mutate, but has not fully evolved, which is why it maintains its original appearance.

If a creature like it, which has not successfully evolved, were to be found in the wild, it would be eaten in one gulp by those ferocious mutant beasts.

The system suddenly said so much, and Jiang He felt that things were a little complicated.

[Beep, beep, an animal that failed to mutate has been successfully detected, triggering the animal breeding space. Currently, it can accommodate three animals. 1 million points can be upgraded to level two.]

"I run a supermarket, so why am I developing other businesses?"

Jiang He frowned, "Is it appropriate for me to be a breeder?"

[Hehe, our goal is to earn the most points, strive to be number one on the rankings, multiple businesses, and multiple incomes!

Host, you only have one animal right now, you can collect a few more! 】

The conversation with the system is all conducted in the mind, so to outsiders, Jiang He is now in a dazed state.

Cao Songshan cleared his throat and spoke cautiously:

"Boss Jiang, Boss Jiang?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Jiang He's sudden resurrection scared everyone so much that they almost fell to their knees.

Cao Songshan touched his pounding heart and forced a smile.

"Yes...it's like this, Boss Jiang. I came here just to ask when you're leaving today. The people in our village want to go with you."

Last night, he convened an impromptu villagers' meeting for deliberation and discussion. In the end, the minority obeyed the majority and they decided to collectively evacuate the Sheep Village.

If you go somewhere else, everything is unknown, but it’s different when you follow Boss Jiang. At least you don’t have to worry about food.

All the villagers unanimously agreed that they would follow Boss Jiang wherever he went and be his followers.
