Chapter 116: Can't Go Hungry
"Shut up! If you keep making noise and attract the mutant beasts outside, I will kill you right now!"
A psychic covered in blood, slumped at the door, turned around and glared fiercely at the two idiots who were shouting inside.
Qian Zhaodi looked at her mother and brother who were frightened like quails in an instant and ignored them.
In other words, from the moment Zhang Huifang pushed her down, the only attachment she had to Zhang Huifang no longer existed.
Zhang Huifang was afraid to shut up, and then silently shed tears, looking at her husband who was deader than dead with a sad face. All she could think of was that it was over and the sky was falling.
He didn't even think about caring about Qian Zhaodi's injuries.
Jiang Rong sat slumped on the ground for a while, rubbed his aching head with his hands, and finally dragged his body slowly to the nearest toilet step by step.
After entering the toilet, he quickly returned to the space.
Afterwards, he forced himself to clean up despite his exhaustion, and then fell into a deep sleep on the small couch in the space.
At this time, Lingyu and Xuanling in the space did not dare to disturb her. They just sat side by side silently, looking at Qin Sang who was still sleeping to repair his body, and then looking at Jiang Rong who was pale and haggard.
*
When Jiang Rong woke up again and left the space, it was already the next morning outside.
Jiang Rong had just walked two steps out of the 'bathroom' when Qian Zhaodi's slightly nervous voice was heard in front of him.
"Jiang Li!"
Jiang Rong looked up. The other person was jogging towards him.
"Where have you been? I can't find you no matter how hard I look." Qian Zhaodi said worriedly with a slightly tense voice.
"Yesterday, I fell asleep in a corner." Jiang Rong made up an excuse.
"It's okay, don't worry." She reached out and patted Qian Zhaodi's shoulder.
After a night of rest, her body had recovered almost completely.
Although Qian Zhaodi was a little confused about Jiang Li's reason, she did not continue to ask.
He nodded and followed her.
"Where are Xiao Er and the others?"
"Xiao Er fainted from exhaustion and hasn't woken up yet. Xiao Chu is helping to look after her."
"Zhang Jin's father passed away yesterday. He is taking care of his mother now."
"Brother Li and the others are also injured and are resting."
Jiang Rong nodded after hearing this.
Those mutant mantises were so powerful yesterday that even she felt her scalp tingling in the end.
In addition, before she came out just now, she was also troubled by the mutant mantises that filled the space. She was even a little afraid to look at Xiao Lingyu. It was hard for the little guy to not say a word of complaint from beginning to end.
"Where are your mother and brother?"
"I don't know." There was no emotion in Qian Zhaodi's voice.
Jiang Rong didn't ask any more questions.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some meat?" Jiang Rong walked out of the toilet passage and looked at the mutant mantis corpses all over the ground, his voice eager to try.
"You can't eat it. If you eat it, you will quickly turn into a monster." Qian Zhaodi shook her head.
Jiang Rong didn't say much after hearing this. He simply dragged a half-human-high mutant mantis from the ground and returned to the small store where he had been hiding before.
At this time, the surroundings were in a mess. The railings that were originally used to protect pedestrians from falling had basically fallen to the ground, and some of them had fallen into the pile of man-eating vines below.
In addition to the piles of mutant mantis corpses on the ground, there were also some human corpses, but at this time they had basically lost their heads.
This mutated mantis seems to like eating human heads. The pools of blood on the ground have evaporated and dried up under the high temperature, leaving only a blood stain.
The doors of the surrounding shops had flown away to who knows where. There was a pile of broken glass on the ground. Some people were taking the time to close their eyes and rest, while others were digging into the bodies of their loved ones and crying quietly.
Jiang Rong looked around and sighed.
Qian Zhaodi watched Jiang Li drag a mutant mantis corpse after hearing what she said, and then she dragged one too. Maybe she had a way.
The two of them passed through one roadblock after another and returned to the small room where Xiao Chu and the others were staying.
Zhang Jin's mother was also here at this moment, holding her husband's body with a dazed look on her face. Zhang Jin looked even more haggard than when the battle ended yesterday, with untidy beard, dark circles under his eyes, and red eye sockets.
Xiao Chu and the injured Li Jianye stayed by Baili Mo's side.
Looking at this, Luo Xing, Chu Jiang, Chu Xiaoxiao and the guy named Zhong Jian are all here.
At this time, everyone had many questions in their minds, about the frequent disappearances of the mutant mantises yesterday, and how Qian Zhaodi was obviously seriously injured but was fine in the end...
But no one spoke at this moment.
The situation was bad enough, and they didn't have the energy to pursue it for the time being.
According to a simple statistics, at least one-third of the more than 300 people in the entire shopping mall died in this accident, not counting the injured.
More than half of the psychics were also killed or wounded.
If a group of mutant beasts of this strength came again at this moment, basically everyone in this mall would be dead, and there would be no need to think of any way out...
Jiang Rong glanced around and saw Qin Xue inside. She was in a very miserable state at the moment, with one of her hands broken. Her hand was not cut off by the mutant mantis's sickle, but was accidentally broken when she was escaping.
Chu Xiaoxiao was currently doing her best to take care of and protect her, although she still looked a little absent-minded.
In addition, Qin Xue is also a person with special powers, but Jiang Rong doesn’t know what specific special powers she has.
The recovery ability of psychics is generally very strong. The higher the strength, the faster the recovery, so it shouldn't take too long for her to fully recover.
Of course, the premise of this result is that she has to have mutant brain pills to continuously provide energy during this period, or else she can just eat mutant beast meat crazily.
The people inside looked at Jiang Rong and Qian Zhaodi dragging in the corpses of two mutant mantises and didn't know what they were going to do.
It was not until Jiang Rong started to hit the mutant mantis's shell with a kitchen knife, and then dug out the crystal clear meat inside bit by bit. After filling a large basin, he cooked it bit by bit in a small pot of alcohol. The aroma of meat filled the air, and everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
I realized it only later.
Jiang Li wants to eat the meat of these mutant mantises.
"Jiang Li, you can't eat this meat, or you'll turn into a monster." Li Jianye advised with difficulty, but in fact his stomach was empty and his mouth was greedy.
"Trust me, eat it, it's okay. But if I didn't bring it, don't eat it."
The meat of the mutant mantis tastes a bit like fish, tender and easy to cook. Jiang Rong now simply boils it in water, and the only seasoning in the water is a small amount of salt.
But after it is cooked, it tastes so good that you can’t stop eating it.
It's soft and tender, without any fishy smell or annoying thorns.
Soon Jiang Rong cooked a pot of soup.
She didn't distribute the food to everyone one by one, but just pushed the bowl to the middle of the people, and those who wanted to eat could go forward and take it from the bowl.
Jiang Rong was very hungry at the moment. She simply washed up in the space and then fell asleep. After waking up, she came out immediately without any delay.
At this moment, she was silently eating the mutant mantis meat in the alcohol pot.
The way he eats is really not that good.
The large bowl of meat in the middle was just knocked out from the two large sickles in front of the mutant mantis.
However, the meat here is relatively clean.
It started with Jiang Rong.
The pot of meat at the back was quickly eaten up, and it was not enough for them to fill their stomachs. It was not enough at all.
Later, they couldn't bear it anymore, so the others ran out to find tools to make fire and cook, and then they all ran to Jiang Rong and asked if the mutant mantis they had pulled over could be eaten.
Jiang Rong generally did not reject those with a good attitude. He nodded and helped to purify them.
Because Jiang Rong's purification ability is colorless and tasteless, unlike other attributes that have obvious colors, those who are not familiar with her thought that she could tell what is edible and what is not.
They didn't know that it was Jiang Rong who helped with the purification. When they heard that they could eat it, they quickly breathed a sigh of relief and left with peace of mind.
As for some impolite ones, Jiang Rong shook his head. Some of them became impatient and changed for another one. He changed ten in a row and saw Jiang Rong just shaking his head. Finally, they became angry and thought that they must have been fooled, so they wanted to use their supernatural powers to teach Jiang Rong a lesson.
As a result, they were kicked out by others who were still waiting.
The meal was intermittent, but at least I was full.
Jiang Rong patted her full stomach contentedly. This was the fullest and most satisfying meal she had had recently.
Now thinking about the mutated mantises in the space, I don’t feel so bad anymore. After all, their meat is plump and delicious, and it won’t be greasy even if you just add a little salt.
It’s no bigger than a little more. At most, you can just take some time to kick out the meat and throw away the shells.
In addition, Jiang Rong did not find the brain pill in the body of this mutant mantis, but after eating the mantis meat, the energy in his body was quickly replenished.
She guessed in her heart that this mutant mantis might have a rather strange body structure and had no brain at all. All the energy in the body was basically concentrated in its flesh.
That’s why you can’t find brain pills, but just eating the meat will have a good effect.
This time, seeing so many people and so much meat here, Qian Zhaodi's mother Zhang Huifang and Qian Jinbao did not dare to come over again.
Because they were horrified to find that Qian Zhaodi, who had always taken care of them first in the past no matter what, just acted as if she didn't recognize them this time. She didn't even look at them from beginning to end, as if she couldn't see the two of them.
Even if they accidentally look at each other occasionally, they will quickly look away indifferently.
After Zhang Huifang, who had lost her husband, woke up, she felt unsure about how they would live in the future if Zhaodi no longer cared about them.
How can she survive alone with her precious son?
On the other side, Qin Xue leaned against the wall, silently looking at Jiang Rong, who was surrounded by stars at this time, with a dark look in her eyes. In her other hand, she held a second-level primary mutant beast brain pill, absorbing it madly. This was one of the few good things left for her by her brother Qin Shuang before he died.
I don’t know if it’s because the mutant mantis meat is so delicious that it woke up Baili Mo, who had fainted from exhaustion.
After she woke up, Xiao Chu, who was already full, helped her get a large piece of mutant mantis meat. After Baili Mo took it, he first took a cautious and tentative bite, then paused, his eyes lit up, and he began to eat voraciously.
As for Zhang Jin, he and his mother were ordinary people. Although the meat tasted good, for some reason they felt full after just a few bites. If they ate any more, they would feel like their bodies were going to explode.
After eating, Zhang's mother was still in a daze, and had not yet recovered from the pain of her husband's death.
Zhang Jin himself was the same. He would sit next to his mother and stare blankly when he had nothing to do. Only occasionally would he come back to his senses and after looking at her a few more times, he stuttered a little in his heart.
