Chapter 42 Winter is Coming



Rabbits aren't afraid; rabbits can reproduce.

As long as we catch a few more rabbit broods, we won't have to worry about lacking meat.

After discussing it, the group decided that Sun Tiantian would stay at home while Lu Sheng and the other two would go hunting.

On the way, Lu Sheng scrolled through his phone out of boredom.

Almost everyone is cheering that the extreme heat is finally over, and they are looking forward to the end of this heatwave so that life can return to normal.

Little did they know that after the darkness came an even deeper darkness.

Once they reached the mountain, with Zhuangzhuang's little radar, the group quickly located four wild rabbit burrows.

Xu Yi's movements were steady, accurate, and ruthless; he grabbed one after another without missing a single one, and in no time, the cat carrier was filled with more than twenty fat rabbits.

"There are a large number of organisms with an index of 0.5 within 500 meters to the right."

After catching the rabbit and preparing to go down the mountain, Zhuangzhuang suddenly poked his head out and pointed his little paws to the right front not far away.

Following Zhuangzhuang's directions, the group searched for a while and surprisingly found a private pond hidden at the foot of the mountain!

The place was well hidden. Lu Sheng and his group circled around the woods several times before finding it. The pond was several hundred square meters in size and filled with rice.

"Right under the rice paddies."

Zhuangzhuang jumped out of the cat carrier, lay down by the pond, and carefully sniffed around.

The water in the pond was so murky that it was impossible to see what was underneath; only occasional scattered bubbles could be seen rising to the surface.

Xu Yi took a small fishing net from the car and stirred it in the pond. The net pole quickly sank heavily to the bottom.

When I scooped it up, it turned out to be a net full of fat and plump crabs!

"It must be a private crab pond." Xiao Yu carefully picked up one, and the crab immediately snapped its two large claws into it.

There are many private crab farms around the capital, which usually raise crabs in rice paddies and provide them to customers when the crabs are plump and delicious in autumn and winter.

Normal river crabs are no bigger than half the size of a palm, but the crabs that Xu Yi caught in this net were all as big as an adult male's palm.

"Why is this crab so big?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yi took a large insulated box from the car and poured the crabs from the net bag into it. "To adapt to climate change, animals generally evolve themselves."

Lu Sheng nodded.

In the previous life, in the constant struggle against the apocalypse, animals and plants evolved before humans. To better adapt to the environment, animals have always been nature's darlings.

The crab pond, which covers several hundred square meters, is divided into four sections in a grid pattern. Lu Sheng and his group spent half an hour catching crabs in the upper left section, catching dozens of kilograms of large crabs.

Each one is plump and juicy.

Zhuangzhuang, acting as the supervisor, would occasionally direct the three men to cast their nets to catch fish.

Just as the group was getting into the swing of things, Zhuangzhuang suddenly sat up straight.

“Someone’s coming, seven or eight of them.”

Lu Sheng took out his binoculars and, sure enough, saw a large group of people walking this way.

After a while, another group of people also discovered the crab pond. The two groups each started catching crabs in their own ponds, but kept a wary eye on each other.

Seeing that Lu Sheng and the others' boxes were full, the tattooed man leading the group followed them menacingly.

The group of people were all armed with weapons, including spiked clubs and watermelon knives, and they looked menacing and hostile.

Seeing that Lu Sheng's group consisted of only two men and one woman, along with a useless cat, the tattooed man immediately became arrogant.

"Leave your things and women behind, and you two men get out of here right now. I'll spare your lives."

What if we don't keep it?

Lu Sheng stroked the strong man's back and raised his eyes indifferently.

"Stop talking nonsense, stay here! One more word and I'll kill you all." The henchman behind the tattooed arm menacingly brandished his knife.

"Wouldn't it be better if we each took our own?"

"Anything I set my sights on is mine. If you know what's good for you, come and serve me well, and I'll make sure you live a life of luxury from now on!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Sheng slit his throat with a knife.

The remaining henchmen were stunned; none of them expected the seemingly gentle girl to act so quickly.

"You filthy woman!"

Several people rushed up to try and chop Lu Sheng, but Xu Yi quickly choked them.

After cleaning up the few small fish, Xu Yi threw the corpses into the emptied crab pond.

The three men caught all the crabs in the pond and also collected all the supplies and tools that the group had brought.

Several hundred kilograms of crabs were brought back to 402.

"How about we have crab hot pot for dinner?"

Lu Sheng rubbed his cold fingers together and made a suggestion.

"Great! I haven't had this in ages! I want chicken feet and potatoes!" Sun Tiantian excitedly poked the large, menacing crab in the box.

Lu Sheng used chopsticks to insert into the crabs' rear ends, and in a few moments, he killed all six large crabs on the spot.

The crab was cut in half, and the cut was sealed with batter. The potatoes taken from the space were soft and fragrant, and were stewed together with chicken feet, rice cake slices, and crab.

Add some sweet corn pieces and Pixian chili bean paste, and the spicy and rich broth soaks up all the crab meat and chicken feet, making every bite incredibly flavorful.

The potatoes were stewed until soft and tender in the broth, and when mixed with rice, they were incredibly delicious.

After finishing my meal and returning to room 403, the room seemed a bit colder. I breathed on the windowpane, and soon a layer of misty white frost appeared.

Winter is coming.

Lu Sheng placed the mink coat on the bedside table, dressed Zhuangzhuang in his little clothes, and then lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

At four in the morning, Lu Sheng was woken up by Zhuangzhuang's cat paws.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!"

Zhuangzhuang trembled and flapped its hair around Lu Sheng's hair, tucking its fluffy tail under its bottom.

Lu Sheng opened his eyes, and a blast of cool air immediately entered his nostrils, causing him to sneeze several times in a row.

She's always a restless sleeper; her arms and feet are often sticking out of the blanket. Trying to move her fingers, all ten fingers felt numb; pressing them didn't draw blood.

Zhuangzhuang, with snot dripping from his nose, crawled to Lu Sheng's pillow and pressed her cold fingers under his stomach to warm them.

After rubbing against the kitten's fluffy, warm belly for a while, Lu Sheng finally started to feel his ten fingers again.

Only after wrapping himself in a mink coat did Lu Sheng dare to crawl out of bed.

Outside the window, snow was falling heavily, and the lawn and bicycle shed downstairs were completely buried in snow, a dazzling expanse of white.

The snow on the windowsill was a full ten centimeters thick. Lu Sheng touched the window glass with the tip of his nose and shivered from the cold.

I tried to check my phone, only to find it had automatically shut down due to the cold.

It took several more minutes of flushing before it could finally be opened.

"Open the door."

Xu Yi sent a message ten minutes ago.

Lu Sheng, looking like a little penguin, struggled to the door and was about to open it.

[Detecting a drop in room temperature, the base's heating system was unlocked.]

[Unlocking the geothermal function requires 2000 points.]

A notification sound suddenly rang out, and Lu Sheng paid 2000 points without hesitation.

The moment the points were deducted, the room temperature immediately rose to 27 degrees Celsius.
