Chapter 123 Let's cheer together
In order not to waste food, before dawn the next day, Jiang Rong, Xiao Chu, Ling Lan, and Jiang Hua's father and daughter began to work together to deal with the mutant black chicken and other leftovers.
Several residents living on the upper and lower floors heard clanging sounds early in the morning.
Afterwards, they all gathered at the door to inquire about the situation, and were finally called in by Jiang Hua who opened the door to help.
With more people around, things could be processed faster. Everyone used the remaining half of the mutant black chicken to make their own specialty dishes.
The elderly people were all in high spirits and full of enthusiasm, and they enjoyed cooking very much.
It’s been a long time since I cooked so freely!
Jiang Rong and Jiang Hua meant that they wouldn't be able to finish eating them before leaving anyway, so they might as well cook them all and give them to the elderly and children who hadn't tasted anything new for a long time.
It also took some time to divide the supplies in the storage room compartments.
Jiang Rong collected a lot of scattered supplies along the way, and she didn't feel bad about sharing them. As Jiang Hua said, after all the neighbors came to help, she looked at the dozen or so elderly people crowded in the kitchen without any enthusiasm, and felt mixed emotions.
There were young people among them, including seven or eight half-grown children, and three young people, two girls and one boy.
After about half a morning of work, all the mutated ingredients that Jiang Rong and his friends brought back yesterday were consumed.
We cooked three tables of dishes.
The other two tables were moved from Jiang Hua's house.
The dishes on every table were the same.
There were three full pots of stir-fried black chicken offal alone.
Young people love this dish. Half the pot is filled with green and red peppers. It tastes so spicy that people can't stop eating it.
Anyway, Jiang Rong and Jiang Manman really like it. Just with this dish, each of them ate several bowls of white rice.
Linglan and Xiao Chu could only watch with their teeth gritted.
It's so spicy that it's killing me after taking a bite.
Then there is black chicken stewed with white radish, black chicken stewed with fresh mushrooms and pure stewed chicken.
Because there are many elderly people here and their teeth are not good, the stewed chicken meat is relatively soft and tender, and all the elderly people here love to eat it.
Then there are some dishes made from leftover ingredients, such as hand-shredded black chicken, spicy chicken shells, braised black chicken, etc., which all taste good.
In addition, there is enough rice today, you can eat as much as you want.
Yesterday, there were ten bags of rice weighing 20 kilograms in the compartment of the storage room, a total of 200 kilograms.
There were no more than twenty people in total at the moment, and since everyone was full, there was still a lot of rice left.
At most one or two bags will be consumed. 40 kilograms is already too much, not to mention there are so many vegetables.
There were cured fish, cured sausage, cured meat and salted rabbit legs, and each table was steamed a plate of them, but the portions were not large because they were salty and if you made too much you wouldn't be able to finish them and they were not convenient to carry around.
Because black chicken, mushrooms, radish, onion, ginger, and green pepper are all mutated, compared to ordinary ingredients, after being purified by Jiang Rong, they can quickly replenish energy for the human body.
After all the food on the table was eaten, the people's mental outlook was obviously much better. Their originally pale, haggard and sunken cheeks were now rosier and their lips had some color.
This change is very rapid.
But this may also be related to the fact that it is rare for them to have such a full meal.
The result of Jiang Rong's conversation with his uncle Jiang Hua last night was to send these people, young and old, to a safe place. But according to Jiang Hua's explanation, even the nearest human base used to take an hour to walk there, not to mention the current road conditions.
If these elderly people were all sick and their legs became weak after walking a few steps, then this escort trip would be very troublesome.
Moreover, the more people there are, the bigger the target will be. It is really stressful for just a few of them to protect so many people.
In addition to Jiang Rong and Ling Lan, Third Uncle Jiang Hua is a metal-type mutant, there is also a young man with fire-type abilities, and two children with wood-type abilities.
There are six in total.
There are only four people who can fight, plus Xiao Chu who knows how to use a gun.
However, Jiang Rong was not in a hurry to take these people away now.
After all, since they have agreed, they have to be responsible for these people's lives. Jiang Rong and Linglan plan to explore the way first. It would be even better if they can find the jade talisman in advance, and then bring these people over.
In case the two of them accidentally offended someone inside, they could send everyone to the gate of the base and they wouldn't show up.
Otherwise, if they are sent over now, and if there is a conflict with the people in the base over the search for the jade talisman, then the old people and children who go with them may be implicated by them.
Of course, Jiang Rong is not sure whether the jade talisman is in the nearest human base, but generally speaking, it is better to be prepared and think more.
But before that, Jiang Rong took Linglan, his uncle Jiang Hua and the boy with fire ability downstairs and walked around the nearby jungle twice.
Then the four of them returned with a full load.
There were ten mushrooms that were bigger than noodles in a bucket, four bamboo shoots that were as tall as a person, which looked like winter bamboo shoots, but Jiang Rong had no idea what kind of bamboo shoots they were, but it was fine to eat them anyway. There were also three white radishes that were half the height of a person, five giant green vegetables, and a dozen tomatoes the size of footballs.
There was also a nest of more than ten mutant bird eggs, each as big as an ostrich egg. A total of five nests were seized.
The four of them took it and ran, and they didn't run until they got back to the community, and the mutant birds that were chasing them had no way to leave.
The mutant onions and ginger that they brought back yesterday were not finished, so Jiang Rong and the others did not collect them. However, they did pick some mutant red peppers, but the spiciness made the four of them's eyes red and swollen, and they could hardly open their eyes.
Finally, they hunted a mutant wild boar in the jungle. It was a cub, about the same size as an adult white pig.
When dragging them back to the community, they also hunted a mutant gray rabbit and a mutant pheasant.
After doing all this, the four of them suffered some minor injuries.
Because of the white light on Jiang Rong's body, the mutated plants will not actively harm them. However, if they cause too much destruction in the jungle, the mutated plants will inevitably be unhappy and will inevitably hit you a few times to vent their anger.
As for those mutant birds and mutant beasts, they don’t care whether the light is white or not. In the eyes of Jiang Rong and the mutant beasts, the two sides are food for each other.
A battle is inevitable.
The food that Jiang Rong and his companions brought back after being injured is enough to feed the people in the community for a long time, but the hot weather makes preservation a problem.
Either you pickle them with salt, or process these things, put them in a large freezer, put enough ice cubes in it, and then cover them with a thick quilt to keep them warm, this will more or less extend the shelf life.
Letting them eat more mutant animal meat is also a way to help them strengthen their physical fitness and prepare for the subsequent migration.
After solving the problems of food, heat preservation and water, Jiang Rong and Linglan left the community the next morning and headed in the direction indicated by Jiang Hua.
Xiao Chu was left behind to live with Jiang Hua and his daughter.
Although she was somewhat unwilling, Xiao Chu secretly wanted to follow Jiang Rong and the others, but she also knew that without special powers she could not be a help to them and might even be a burden to them.
However, Xiao Chu was only depressed for a while before his attention was diverted by the quirky Jiang Manman.
Jiang Rong and the others left a lot of food before they left, and it was estimated that they would not be able to finish it before they came back. Jiang Man had not tasted such good ingredients for a long time, so how could she be satisfied with just two meals? Seeing that Xiao Chu was depressed, she dragged her to study food with her.
Although Xiao Chu had eaten countless delicacies from land and sea before the end of the world, he had lived through a year of hardship after the end of the world, and now had an extraordinary obsession with food. Therefore, his attention was quickly diverted and he devoted himself to studying food.
Jiang Hua was in the opposite room attending a meeting with everyone.
*
Jiang Rong and Linglan followed Jiang Hua's instructions and walked towards the northeast of the community for about a morning, and then successfully found the human base that their third uncle Jiang Hua mentioned.
At this time, the mutated plants inside the human base have basically been cleared out by the psychics, and the edge of the base is a wall several dozen meters high.
The scale of the entire base is currently unknown, but Jiang Rong has a hunch that it must be large since such a large and long wall could be built in such a short period of time.
The entrance to the base is a large wooden door, a bit like the city gate of an ancient city, and very heavy.
There was a psychic standing on the wall watching.
As soon as Jiang Rong and the others approached, arrows flew straight towards them.
"Don't come near, wait down there." The psychic on the wall said condescendingly, with a somewhat arrogant look on his face.
"The psychics on this wall basically have higher levels of abilities than me." Linglan speculated, and because she couldn't sense the other party's level, the result was obvious.
Jiang Rong's ability level has now reached the fourth level, and he can easily see through the strength of those people.
Basically they are at the middle to advanced level of the second stage.
Although not too high, they are currently just gatekeepers. It is conceivable that the strength of those high-level people in the base should not be underestimated.
Linglan's expression was a little gloomy about this. It was only after she followed Jiang Rong out that she realized that the supernatural power that she was most proud of in her life was actually not that great.
There are many people in the outside world who are stronger than her.
Seeing this, Jiang Rong patted her shoulder but said nothing.
What Lily of the Valley was thinking about was the reality of this world.
And with Lily of the Valley's personality, she felt that she would only face challenges head-on and would not be easily discouraged.
And according to Jiang Rong's recent observations, she should be about to break through.
At this time, Jiang Rong thought of the little ice-type mutant in his family again. He didn't know how much the little guy had grown up to now, and he was looking forward to it.
After waiting obediently for a while under the towering wall, the wooden door was slowly opened, and then a tall man walked out. He looked ordinary but had a strong aura.
Level 3 beginner.
After seeing this person, not to mention Linglan, even Jiang Rong himself felt a sense of crisis.
It's only been about a year since the natural disaster, how come everyone has advanced so quickly? Any one of them is already at the initial level of the third level. I wonder to what level the core figures in the major bases have been promoted now.
Jiang Rong evaluated silently in his heart, and then thought of the cultivation method he had released before the end of the world. He intuited that it might be related to this.
That thing can directly help talented people with special abilities to avoid taking many detours.
Even those with average talent can develop a more solid foundation through practice.
Jiang Rong felt mixed emotions at this moment.
I feel happy about the good things I have done, but I also envy those people with extraordinary talents and special abilities.
However, she had already accepted this reality of average talent in her previous life, and she was already very satisfied with being able to grow to her current level in this life.
Although he thought so, the villain deep in Jiang Rong's heart was still secretly urging himself to work harder!
If you fall behind too much, you will be easily beaten and feel insecure.
Jiang Rong thought about this and patted Linglan beside him: "Come on together!"
Linglan looked up when she heard that, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's work hard together."
