The aunt said, "Don't be hard on me. I've already saved her, and she said she wants to thank me. She's so young..."
The man in the black cotton jacket was still unhappy: "I wasted a lot of meat, wasted time, and got nothing back after going out. It's really fucked up."
Among the people sitting there, a young man called out to the aunt, helplessly and anxiously: "Mom, come here, don't meddle in other people's business."
Seeing this, the aunt didn't dare to say anything and just looked at Qiao Xuejun with sympathy.
Qiao Xuejun remained calm and said directly: "I didn't bring much food with me. If you need it, you can take it first."
She looked around and said, "Where's my bag? The food is in it."
The man in the black cotton-padded jacket was suspicious and looked at the two bags under the legs of the sofa. They turned over one of the bags and found nothing inside except some tools, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Black Cotton-padded Jacket picked up another bag, which was placed in front of the stove and had been dried. However, after being soaked in sea water for so long, it still had an unpleasant salty smell, and there were some crystallized yellow salt grains on it.
The man in the black cotton-padded jacket frowned in disdain, glanced at Qiao Xuejun, reached out to unfasten the straps and zipper.
After he opened the bag, he took out a towel from it, threw it away casually, and continued to look down.
Auntie hurriedly picked up the towel he had thrown at the foot of the sofa, dusted it off, folded it, and handed it to Qiao Xuejun: "Here, keep it."
Qiao Xuejun quietly put away her dry towel. Because it was a mission to go out to sea, she would inevitably get wet, so she brought a dry towel to wipe her hands, face, and clothes.
There were also daily necessities and a climbing rope in the bag, but the rope was still tied to the TV station building to make a zipline, and the daily necessities were placed in the lounge on the boat.
Now there should be only food left in the bag.
After the towel was taken out, the man in the black cotton jacket stared into the bag without moving.
Seeing this, the aunt next to her asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
The black cotton jacket finally came back to his senses and took out a plastic jar. The jar was transparent, so he could easily see what was inside: "Jerky? Shrimp? No..."
He shook the plastic can, looked at Qiao Xuejun, and asked in surprise: "Isn't it shrimp meat?"
The only meat they can eat now is the meat of sea monsters in the sea. They cannot defeat the sea monsters, so they can only capture some very weak species among sea monsters, such as krill.
Krill are originally small, and even after mutating to become gigantic, they are still much smaller than other sea monsters, only about thirty or forty centimeters.
Only a thumb-sized piece of meat at the tail of a krill is edible. The rest is tough and dry, so it is ground into powder and mixed with aquatic plants before being eaten.
They are so tired of eating shrimp meat that they can easily recognize that this is definitely not shrimp meat.
When the man in the black cotton-padded jacket shouted, all the other people working in the room turned their attention to him.
Qiao Xuejun: "It's dried rabbit meat."
Doctor Wang installed it for her last night.
"Rabbit meat." Black Cotton Jacket was incredulous and looked at the rabbit meat bucket and Qiao Xuejun repeatedly. He still didn't believe it, so he unscrewed the plastic bucket of dried rabbit meat, threw the lid aside, and took out a piece of dried meat from it with half-belief, sniffed it first, and then put it in his mouth.
The aunt next to him quickly picked up the lid of the plastic bucket he had thrown on the ground and paid close attention to him: "How is it? Is it really rabbit jerky?"
The rabbit meat is so thin and crispy that you can chew it in two bites.
Fragrant, savory and salty.
After chewing one piece, Black Cotton-padded Jacket subconsciously picked up another piece. A look of reluctance appeared between his brows. He was conflicted, gritted his teeth, and put the dried meat back into the plastic bucket. He took the lid from the aunt, swallowed his saliva, and closed the lid and tightened it.
He put the plastic bucket of dried meat in his arms, held it between his arms, and continued to look in his bag: "What is this? Dried fruit?"
It was also a similar plastic bucket, but it did not contain jerky, but rather something that looked like golden dried fruit strips.
Qiao Xuejun: "Dried pumpkin."
Now Black Cotton-padded Jacket believed it and no longer took it out to try it. Instead, he put it directly into his arms like a treasure.
Even when onlookers came over, he was still unwilling to show it to others.
Finally, there are the compressed biscuits that serve as military rations at the First Base.
Nothing else.
He put away the three things and looked up at Qiao Xuejun: "You actually hoarded all these good things! It's been almost two years since the disaster, and you haven't eaten them all yet?"
Their family runs a supermarket, and its supplies were sold out before the disaster. They relied on the things in the warehouse to get through the early stages of the disaster. There are too many people in the family, more than 20 people, and the things in the warehouse are not enough to consume.
Qiao Xuejun thought for a moment and said gratefully, "Yes, there are 10 boxes of this kind of jerky left. You saved me and my companions. I will give you all these 10 boxes of jerky as a reward."
Dried meat, dried pumpkin, compressed biscuits, these are all things that can be stored for a long time. Black Cotton Jacket naturally thought that these things were what she had stockpiled before the natural disaster, and she just had to admit it.
She also used 10 boxes of dried rabbit meat to reassure them, hoping that they would keep her and Xun Muqing safe before getting the dried rabbit meat.
The sea monster dragged her and Xun Muqing here, and blue blood flowed along the way. She and Xun Muqing killed others along the way, and the bloodstains were very obvious.
Zhao Xian will definitely find it.
Although they were rescued from the sea by this family, according to information they were nearby, so it should not be difficult to find Zhao Xian.
Black Cotton Jacket asked, "Do you have any more of this dried pumpkin?"
Qiao Xuejun tried to make her words sound real: "I ate a lot of dried pumpkin, there's not much left, only two cans."
Black Cotton Jacket immediately demanded, "Give me these two cans of dried pumpkin, too."
Qiao Xuejun nodded and said in a very cooperative manner: "Of course. You saved me, how can I repay you with two cans of pumpkin jerky?"
