Chapter 133: Dog Meat, Dog Meat, Have a Bite
Everything was ready. Lu Weiyi threw the body of the black dog out first. The frozen black dog still maintained the action of raising its paw to slap people before entering the space, but it had no head. Not only did it bleed profusely as soon as it appeared, but its limbs waved out of inertia and then became completely motionless.
“……”People gathered in a circle.
Lu Weiyi then threw out the dog's head and placed it next to his body.
“…”
Everyone looked at each other, and after a moment, they dispersed tacitly, looking extremely busy, as if the threat just now had not existed.
"Lu Xiaoyi" Xu Sa saw Lu Weiyi driving a small electric car with Zhuang Mingxu and Zhuang Aiyi ready to leave, and walked over quickly, took out the ten crystal cores he received yesterday, five of which were for Liu Rui to upgrade him because Liu Rui said that he had no effect now. He whispered, "Well, isn't this dog a fire type? I can exchange it with you for other crystal cores, any number is fine, how about it?"
"As a lightning-type person, it's the same if you use other things to enhance your abilities," Lu Weiyi said. He looked at Lu Xi and Dean who were still curiously circling around the mutant dogs and mutant pigs, and decided to go to the trading hall first to let them play for a while.
"Isn't this for the little stutterer? It's rare to meet someone from the same department as him," said Xu Sa.
Lu Weiyi looked at Xu Sa, and suddenly the scene when the two of them were injured by zombies appeared in his mind. He raised his eyebrows, "Don't you like the school beauty?" That was when they were in high school.
"What?" Xu Sa was a little stunned.
"It's okay." Lu Weiyi was not the kind of person who cared about other people's private affairs. He started the electric car and said to him, "The crystal core was originally reserved for Liu Rui to upgrade. You can keep it for yourself."
"Okay then." Xu Sa collected all the crystal cores without hesitation. Turning around, he saw Liu Rui's eyes paying attention to him. Then he realized what Lu Weiyi had just said. He laughed and murmured, "It's an old calendar from hundreds of years ago..."
**
After dealing with a mutant pig and two mutant dogs for a whole day, the group of people who said they wanted to take a break did not rest, so everyone unanimously expressed their willingness to fight for another day of rest.
The good news is that that night, everyone finally got to eat the mutant meat they had been craving for. The soup made from the mutant dog's bones was added to the large chunks of meat to make a hot pot, and various handmade meatballs were added to it. A handful of vegetables were dipped in it, and then a sip of cold beer was taken. Life was simply perfect.
"You can eat less." Lu Weiyi scooped two small bowls of bone soup and gave one to Zhuang Mingxu and Lin Yimu, "Try it."
Zhuang Mingxu took a sip and raised his eyebrows, "It seems... it feels warm." It was as if a heat was spreading from his stomach. He couldn't tell whether it was the effect of the hot soup or if there was really some energy in the soup.
"I thought I was wrong," Ning Yuan said.
"Yes, there is energy," Lu Weiyi replied.
"Doesn't that mean that eating more can increase one's superpowers?" Ning Yuan excitedly.
Lu Weiyi nodded and looked at him with a little disdain, "This little bit is not even a bit more than the crystal core. How much do you have to eat to increase your superpowers?" Most of the energy of mutated animals and plants is concentrated in the crystal core. There are some scattered in other places, but only a tiny bit.
"It is good for ordinary people to eat less, especially when the weather is cold. You can feel warm quickly by boiling a pot of soup and drinking a bowl of it. However, these energies are difficult for people without special powers to absorb. If too much accumulates, problems may occur in the body. It is best not to eat them."
As Lu Weiyi spoke, he thought of the mutated fruit. It contained a lot of energy and was milder in nature. It was very good for the health of both ordinary people and people with special abilities.
When Lu Weiyi saw Zhuang Mingxu drinking the soup calmly and Lin Yimu feeding Zhuang Aiyi the occasional sip, he decided to get more if he saw them next time.
The next day, everyone rested for the whole morning. At around six in the afternoon, they gathered in groups of three or four to go shopping at the market.
It just so happened that Lu Weiyi also wanted to show Zhuang Aiyi if there were any toys for children, so he went with Zhuang Mingxu and Zhuang Aiyi.
The trading market was still the same, with people setting up stalls everywhere, but they didn't know if they were the same ones they had seen before.
"Is there anyone selling water?" Lu Weiyi asked curiously when he saw someone holding a bucket with drinking water and needed food marked on the side.
"Yes. Now the water in the base can only be used for washing, not drinking. We still rely on water-related ability users for drinking. Most of the water-related ability users in the base have been recruited for centralized water supply. The amount of water they provide every day is fixed. Those with stronger abilities will get more and sell it privately." Lu Xi has been in the base and is familiar with the things going on there.
Lu Weiyi nodded and looked around. Everyone was exchanging food. "No one is exchanging crystal cores?"
"No," Lu Xi said, "most people will absorb the crystal core to improve their superpowers. Some ordinary people will basically buy some rare food, vegetables, fruits, meat and so on. Our business has always been the best." After the heavy snow, all the vegetables and fruits were frozen to death, but before the heavy snow, Lu Weiyi had bought several thousand kilograms of them along the way, and the price was set cheaper than other families. At the same price, everyone would definitely want to buy more.
"Well, that's good. The trading hall is a major source of income for us." There are few people in the team, and they can't kill many zombies, so they still need subsidies from the trading hall.
"Weiyi, did you bring food?" Xiong Jie, who was strolling in front with Xi Shi, turned back and called Lu Weiyi from a distance.
"I brought it, what's wrong?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"There are live rabbits for sale in front. I was thinking of buying some and raising and breeding them for ourselves," said Xiong Jie.
"Little Daddy" Zhuang Aiyi, who had been holding Lu Weiyi's hand and looking around, pulled Lu Weiyi at this time, staring at a stall of a seven or eight-year-old child on the roadside without moving.
"Hmm?" Lu Weiyi followed his gaze and saw the little boy and his mother, displaying some toy models, including Iron Man and Transformers. They all looked of good quality. They must have had a good life before the end of the world. There was also a computer, which was showing the cartoon "Journey to the West".
"It's just in front, come and have a look later." Xiong Jie was worried about Xi Shi waiting there alone, so he shouted to Lu Weiyi.
"Okay," Lu Weiyi responded.
Zhuang Mingxu was sitting in a wheelchair. Seeing Zhuang Aiyi's strange look, he felt sad and asked, "How do you sell this?"
"There are also , , and in here," the little boy took the initiative to introduce, and then hesitated, "...three packs of instant noodles, is that okay?"
Lu Weiyi didn't think about negotiating the price with a child, especially since he really didn't need it at the moment. He quickly gave him three packets of instant noodles, took out a tablet and handed it to the little boy, "Just pass it to me."
"Thank you, thank you big brother." This meant that they could continue selling. The little boy bowed and thanked Lu Weiyi, and the woman next to him also thanked him.
Lu Weiyi nodded. Seeing that there were people all around, nothing should happen. Besides, the members of their team were all looking at things in groups of three or four not far away. If there was any problem, they could call for help. He said to Zhuang Mingxu, "You wait for him here. I'll go deliver some food to Xi Shi."
Xiong Jie was probably worried about Xi Shi, so he stood in front waiting for him and looked back at Xi Shi from time to time.
"Brother, you go ahead. Brother Mingxu and I are together." Lu Xi pulled Zhuang Aiyi over and protected him from being touched.
Lu Weiyi nodded and trotted towards Xiong Jie.
A few hundred meters away, Xi Shi was squatting in front of a small stall selling rabbits. There were several cages in front of the stall owner. In the cages were a bunch of palm-sized rabbits, huddled together in the hot weather, and it was difficult to tell how many there were.
"There are eight in total, six females and two males. I just saw that they are all quite active. But we need at least 100 kilograms of rice." Xi Shi wanted it, but thought it was a bit expensive. 100 kilograms of rice was enough for their team to eat for ten days. And that's because they are all big men who work hard. If they had smaller appetites, it would be enough for them to eat for a long time.
"These rabbits can be eaten as meat. Now one pound of meat can be sold for thirty pounds of rice. Besides, rabbits grow fast. They enter the breeding period at five or six months old. A litter can produce seven or eight little rabbits, and several litters can be produced a year. Just calculate how much meat you can eat," the vendor calculated to Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi doesn't know how to raise one, so he just asks Xi Shi, "Is it worth it?"
Xi Shi nodded with difficulty. Lu Weiyi directly took out a 50-kilogram bag of rice from the space and handed it to Xi Shi. When he was about to say something, he heard the voice of Zhuang Aiyi crying and shouting "Big Daddy, Little Uncle" from behind.
Lu Weiyi threw down the rice, turned around and ran towards the sound. Before he got there, he saw Zhuang Aiyi crying loudly beside Zhuang Mingxu, grabbing Lu Xi, who was covered in dirt and had bruises and bleeding on his arms. Standing in front of them were Gu Qingji, Gu Qingyue, Xu Sa and Liu Rui, and opposite them stood five men, who were none other than Song Qi and the other five who were expelled from the Li family by Li Ling.
On the surface, Li Ling was generous in expelling them from the Li family and giving them a batch of supplies. However, he secretly threatened them with their families and asked them to come and cause trouble for the only team. He had to let them take action to test their strength.
The five people were thinking about opportunities and excuses, and then they waited until none of them were on missions but were shopping here, and they had the perfect opportunity to attack the weakest and most hated Zhuang Mingxu.
"What's wrong?" As soon as Lu Weiyi walked over, Zhuang Aiyi hugged his thighs and cried, complaining, "They pushed Grandpa, and his chair became tilted."
Lu Weiyi's face suddenly turned dark. He hated it most when someone used Zhuang Mingxu's legs as a target of surgery.
"The uncle tried to stop him, but he was hit by a chair and fell down." Zhuang Aiyi hiccupped and continued, "They secretly kicked the uncle when he couldn't get up."
"You little bastard, if you keep talking nonsense I'll kill you." A man behind Song Qi stared at Zhuang Aiyi viciously. Zhuang Aiyi was so scared that he lowered his head and hid between Lu Weiyi's legs.
Lu Weiyi picked up Zhuang Aiyi and glanced at Lu Xi beside him, "Where is the injury?"
Lu Xi rubbed his shoulders and replied, "It's okay."
The psychic's full-strength kick would surely break the bone. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Weiyi turned to look at Zhuang Mingxu.
