Chapter 62: Brain Pills
Jiang Rong put on his clothes and went to the little boy's room first. He saw him lying quietly in bed with his eyes closed. He must be still sleeping.
Jiang Rong retreated quietly, then went straight to the kitchen, where he fiddled for a long time.
I stewed an old hen in the casserole in the space without adding any seasonings. I only put some onions, ginger, garlic and a few red dates in the chicken's stomach.
Then there is salt and a small amount of MSG.
After the chicken is stewed, the taste is fresh, rich and original.
In addition to stewed chicken, Jiang Rong also fried a large pot of guagua meat with chili peppers, a plate of soy sauce steak and a plate of boiled vegetables, plus a pot of fragrant and soft rice.
There are three of us, two adults and one child, so we don't have to do too much.
Jiang Rong was fiddling around in the kitchen by himself, and it took him more than an hour just to stew the chicken.
During this time, I was so hungry that I ate two pieces of the chocolate that I had fed the little boy yesterday.
After filling my stomach, I continued doing it.
After Jiang Rong finished cooking, she brought the dishes to the glass square table in the living room. At this time, she had already turned on the heater in the living room, and the indoor temperature was maintained at around 20 degrees. Jiang Rong was not afraid that the dishes would get cold too quickly.
Zhao Runguo came out from the room after smelling the smell.
As soon as he came out, he smiled and said, "It seems like I'm in for a treat today."
Jiang Rong smiled when he heard this.
Then they went to the little boy's room. Jiang Rong was afraid that the little boy would be afraid of the dark when he was alone, so when he brought him in, he kept the light on and did not change it when he left.
Therefore, when she opened the door, she could see the little boy's eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling.
"Get up and go out to eat."
Jiang Rong walked forward and lifted the blanket from the man. Although he said this, he did not wait for him to move. Instead, he immediately took action and pulled the man up from the bed.
Then seeing that he was still in a daze, Jiang Rong could only resign himself to giving him the bed clothes.
While Jiang Rong was dressing the little boy, she pinched his skinny face with great force. She silently prayed that the child would recover quickly. She didn't want to meet a little ancestor who needed her to serve him in everything.
She gave him ten days to recover.
If this continues after ten days, she will start to find new ways to stimulate the child.
The little boy didn't seem to feel that Jiang Rong was hostile towards him at this moment, so he let Jiang Rong manipulate him.
After Jiang Rong helped him put on his clothes, he took him out. He first gave him a bowl of chicken soup, then a bowl of white rice, and put a chicken leg and a piece of steak in his bowl of rice.
"Drink the soup first, then eat."
After giving him the instructions, Jiang Rong stopped paying attention to him and concentrated on eating the food on the table. His movements were not particularly elegant.
Zhao Runguo was also eating voraciously at this moment and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
He used to like eating meat, so he was a little fat, but since the natural disaster, he often had irregular meals. Sometimes he ate very well, and sometimes he had no choice but to eat biscuits and sausages.
In short, compared to before the natural disaster, he has obviously lost a lot of weight now.
"Xiao Rong, given the situation outside right now, we probably won't be able to get out for a while, right?" Zhao Runguo ate two large bowls of rice in a row before slowing down his eating.
He started talking to Jiang Rong, with some worry in his eyes.
Although Cai'er and Xin Jue are protecting him at home, he still feels uneasy when he's been away for too long.
Jiang Rong nodded upon hearing this.
"It's too dark outside. It's difficult for us to go back safely and accurately now. We can wait first. If it's still dark outside, we'll have to bite the bullet and try to go back underground. But there's a high probability that we'll take the wrong path, maybe more than once, and if we're unlucky, we might encounter a mutant beast like a mutant earthworm." Jiang Rong spoke out what he was thinking.
After listening to this, Zhao Runguo suddenly felt that the rice in his bowl was not so fragrant anymore.
This trip was full of difficulties, and now I can't go back.
"Then how long will we stay here?" Zhao Runguo looked at what Jiang Rong said, guessing that she had already made up her mind, so he continued to ask.
"At the shortest, it will be one month, at the longest, it will be three months. If it's still dark outside after three months, then we'll take the risk and go back underground. When we come out, the supplies at home will be enough for Cai'er and the others to use for half a year. As long as nothing unexpected happens, you don't have to worry too much, Uncle Zhao." Jiang Rong comforted him.
However, even though she said so, she felt that it would only last a month at most. If the situation outside was still like this after a month, she would definitely not be able to stay here, let alone Uncle Zhao.
After listening to this, Zhao Runguo had a rough idea in his mind, but he was more inclined to believe that it would take too long, as changes would be likely to occur and no one knew what would happen during this period.
After some communication, the dinner table became quiet.
The rice in Jiang Rong's bowl was almost gone, but there were still a few pieces of shrimp-flavored quack meat in the bowl. The meat was tender and had a strong shrimp flavor, a bit like the authentic shrimp paste in a hot pot restaurant.
In addition, there was a piece of steak with black pepper sauce, which I had bought in an underground shopping mall before.
The last piece is a piece of tender, fresh and fragrant chicken wing. When you take a bite, the meat and bones separate immediately, and your mouth is filled with the rich meaty aroma.
Jiang Rong ate in silence, occasionally glancing at the little boy's movements.
There is no need to worry about eating, as I know how to eat. As Grandma Jiang often says, if I know how to eat, then there is nothing to worry about.
After dinner.
Zhao Runguo took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Jiang Rong didn't want to take on too much responsibility, so he just let him do what he wanted.
Jiang Rong took the little boy to the sofa in the living room, covered him with a small blanket, and then took out a fully charged tablet from the space. The tablet contained a lot of cartoons downloaded in advance, so he randomly picked one and played it for him to watch.
The little boy didn't react at first, but after a while, his lifeless eyes slowly focused and his gaze gradually fell on the cartoon on the tablet.
Jiang Rong...
After that, when Zhao Runguo came out after washing the dishes, Jiang Rong discussed with Zhao Runguo: "Uncle Zhao, if we stay here recently, we can cooperate to stock up more mutant beast brain pills, so that we will have enough supplies when we go back."
As it is pitch black outside now, walking underground is definitely much safer than walking on the ground, but the disadvantage is that it consumes energy. Uncle Zhao will be under a lot of pressure by then, because he may need to continuously output his supernatural powers for one, two, or even more days to open up and maintain the underground space.
It’s okay as long as I’m still in the county town. At least I can find a building to hide in.
But if they are in the wilderness, once they appear on the ground, they may be immediately attacked by unknown mutant beasts.
The mutant beasts in the apocalypse do not search for prey through their eyes, but they do. I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark, so they will be faced with a very passive situation.
In short, start preparing now.
The more brain pills and other things you stockpile, the safer you will be.
Jiang Rong thought to himself, and felt that he could go to Qin Sang later to find out about the guardian spirit. If the brain pills were not enough, he would ask them for help.
But now, they should just try their best on their own, which can also help them to improve their practical combat ability and coordination with Uncle Zhao.
In addition, during this period of time, in addition to stockpiling brain pills, Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo also need to improve their superpowers as quickly as possible. The higher the level of the superpowers, the stronger their strength will be, and the safer it will be when they return.
Zhao Runguo nodded to this. He was also thinking about this when he was washing dishes in the kitchen just now.
"Xiao Rong, have you figured out how we are going to catch those mutant beasts?" Zhao Runguo asked uncertainly.
He had an idea in his mind, but he was not sure whether Jiang Rong thought the same as he did.
"Rooftop." Jiang Rong pointed outside the door.
There is a gate leading to the rooftop on the top floor of this community. The rooftop is shared by four families and is independent of the small rooftop in their home and not connected to the other.
"I thought so too." Zhao Runguo agreed with his eyes.
"There is no time to lose. I will go and prepare now. Uncle Zhao, please wait inside." Jiang Rong was full of energy after his meal. He put on his coat, carried a bow and arrow in his hand, and went out.
Zhao Runguo looked a little confused when he heard this, not knowing what Jiang Rong was going to prepare.
Jiang Rong opened the door at this moment, and took out a large flashlight from the space. He turned it on and stood upside down on the ground. The outside of the door, which was originally pitch dark, suddenly became much brighter.
She looked around cautiously, and when she saw nothing unusual, she walked out with peace of mind.
At this time, the large amounts of sand and soil that she had stored in her space came in handy.
Uncle Zhao has earth-related abilities, but his abilities are not advantageous in this building. He might accidentally collapse the house when fighting with the mutant beasts...
So she had to come out and spread a thick layer of soil on the ground to make it easier for him to use his supernatural powers.
There is nothing to prepare after that. Just open the door and use light to lure the mutant beasts outside in.
However, the door leading to the rooftop is not big, and only a few larger mutant beasts can come in at a time. After she leads those guys in, she will close the door and then concentrate on dealing with the mutant beasts that have been led in.
As for whether the rooftop gate would be unable to withstand the attacks of the mutant beasts outside, Jiang Rong was not worried about it.
Ever since she saw the defensive capabilities of the doors and windows at home, she had a deep trust in the things installed by Xin Jue. If it really doesn't work, she and Uncle Zhao can manually change the door.
Among the batch of goods that Xin Jue and Cai'er stockpiled before, there were quite a few backups of these doors, windows, and various electrical appliances.
Anyway, you can try it first, and if it doesn’t work, think of other ways.
After Jiang Rong finished spreading the thick soil, he quickly threw dozens of bags of sand behind the small door on the rooftop, two bags at a time, and did this more than ten times in total.
With these, Uncle Zhao can then build an earth wall to temporarily block the outside, and then dismantle the earth wall when he needs to let the mutant beasts in.
Together with the original door, it can be regarded as double protection.
Jiang Rong threw the sandbags very quickly and cautiously. She only threw two bags at a time and immediately closed the door. After the mutant beasts attracted from outside gradually dispersed, she quickly opened the door and continued throwing.
After repeating this more than ten times, there were more and more mutant beasts outside, and they did not leave for a long time. Jiang Rong stopped and went back into the house.
"Uncle Zhao, you're ready. Let's go out and try it."
