Chapter 263 Chapter 263 Heavy Fog
"Dad, do you still want to go?"
"No, I've taken all of them."
He Junxia walked in carrying the octopus bucket, and the family finally saw what he was holding.
Zong Kangping couldn't help but scream, accusing the big blue bucket and stammering, "Dad, there's something in the bucket!"
He almost thought he was hallucinating, and Zhang Shuhui and Miao Xun hurriedly took the three children away.
He Junxia touched his nose.
He was a little embarrassed: "It won't dare to come out when I'm here, don't be afraid."
Is this something to be afraid of?!
Zong Kangping tried to persuade his father, who had suddenly gone mad, "Dad, you see, it's not edible. Why don't we throw it away, as far away as possible."
He Junxia coughed a few times.
He said solemnly, "I need it for a favor, not to eat."
Zong Kangping also touched his nose: "Oh, then, Dad, remember to take good care of it. There are three children at home."
He looked down at the little tentacle monster in the bucket. It hadn't moved for so long, so it must be dead.
He Junxia carried the octopus bucket into his room, a windowless guest room with walls on all sides, which he had chosen himself.
The room has been cleaned and the bed has been made. The turquoise four-piece bed set looks very fresh and clean.
He Junxia threw the bucket on the ground, took out a set of clean clothes from her bag, changed into them, and lay down on them. Her body sank into the soft mattress, which supported her perfectly, causing her to roll over subconsciously and let out a comfortable sigh.
After sleeping on a 1.2-meter bunk bed with a hard bed board for a long time, I realized how happy it is to sleep on a 1.8-meter bed with a mattress.
He Junxia gradually squinted as sleepiness set in. Using his mental energy for extended periods of time was a considerable burden on him.
He fell asleep.
Sensing this, the little tentacle monster became restless. It cleverly and silently changed direction and listened quietly to the faint snoring coming from the bed.
A long time has passed
About a century.
A small tentacle tentatively poked out of the bottle mouth, bent left and right, and the fine hairs in the suction cup swayed slightly, as if it was analyzing the correct direction of escape through the signals transmitted through the air.
Do you want to go out now?
This is not a question that a tentacle monster's brain should think about. It only follows its body's instincts to eat, sleep and reproduce.
But the little monster hiding in the bucket hesitated.
The miserable and painful death of its own kind and the terrifying power it had felt before made it full of fear of the other creature in the room.
…
A dreamless night
After a long time of sleeping, He Junxia finally woke up naturally. When he opened his eyes, he didn't want to move and his head felt a little dizzy.
This is a sign of excessive mental exertion.
"Dong Dong Dong"
"Dad, are you awake? Time for breakfast."
"Here I come."
He Junxia glanced at the little monster still curled up in the bucket, and knocked on the bucket with a half-smile: "It seems you are quite smart."
He opened the door and went to the bathroom to wash up. Breakfast was already set on the table. A large pot of cooked noodles with luncheon meat, enough for the whole family to eat until they were full.
He Junxia asked, "Have you given it to those children?"
Zong Kangping: "I have given it, but Dad, what are your plans? After all, there are so many people."
Although there was a lot of food and drinking water stored in the safe house, it would soon be insufficient to support the consumption of dozens of people.
He Junxia smiled: "I know what's going on."
Before he brought the children back, he made it clear that no one could eat or drink for free while following him, and even a four-year-old child had to work.
Those who are willing can go with him, and those who are not willing can stay.
All the children agreed.
He Juanxia finished a large bowl of noodles, wiped his mouth and said, "Let's build a few mushroom houses to grow mushrooms today. I'll go to the shelter to get some things this afternoon."
Although the children are small, they are numerous.
With the concerted efforts of a large group of people, four mushroom houses were quickly built. I think many gray mushrooms will grow tomorrow.
Of course, with the nourishment of the fog, there are also many gray mushrooms in the corridor, large and small, stuck together in a row, which is a bit creepy.
However, this kind of non-enclosed space is easy to attract tentacle monsters, which is somewhat unsafe. It is more convenient to use the storage room to make a mushroom house.
As for the harm of mushroom spores to the human body, it can be completely ignored - after humans began to eat gray mushrooms on a large scale, there have been almost no cases of mushroom lung.
After finishing the mushroom house, He Junxia took the bucket containing the tentacle monster and drove to the ruins of the shelter.
"Ga-gu-gu-gu——"
Before the van stopped, He Junxia heard the sound of a rooster crowing, and a smile appeared on his face.
He released his mental power to scan the area within a hundred meters of the shelter, and the smile on his face deepened. He would have chicken and eggs to eat in the future.
——When a rainstorm came and everyone was busy escaping, he released all the animals in the farm after everyone left.
Because the hard-working farm is located four floors underground, not too far from the ground entrance and exit, a considerable number of animals survived.
Unfortunately, most of them were chickens, ducks, and rabbits. Large livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep were relatively rare, and he only saw a few.
"Ga-gu"
The rooster's crowing sound stopped abruptly, and a tentacle suddenly pierced its chest.
Tentacle monsters not only feed on humans, but any living thing is their prey.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
The tentacle monsters fell to the ground one by one without a sound. He Junxia never showed courtesy to his enemies.
The little tentacle monster hiding in the bucket looked at this scene in horror, shrinking its body and trembling, as if it was frightened silly.
However, the only human present did not see, or did not care about the reaction of the little tentacle monster, as he was busy catching chickens.
These chickens have been eating feed made from gray mushrooms for a long time, and have undergone certain mutations and evolutions, becoming almost indistinguishable from birds.
It was fine when it was hung in a cage, but now that it is free, it is extremely difficult to catch it.
Of course, this little difficulty was no problem for He Junxia. As long as he wanted, no chicken could escape his grasp.
Soon the van was filled with chickens, ducks, rabbits, and two piglets.
OK, that’s all for now.
He Junxia returned with a cart full of poultry and livestock, shocking a large group of people.
Zong Kangping: "Dad, where did you get it?"
All of these chickens had their beaks cut off, and you can tell at a glance that they were raised in a farm.
But weren't they drowned long ago?
He Junxia: "They were caught in the safe zone. Maybe the cages were not secure, so they all escaped during the heavy rain."
No wonder.
The brief moment of doubt was followed by great ecstasy.
As a former chicken farm employee, Zong Kangping knew full well that these chickens were fast-growing white-feathered chickens. With the help of the gray mushrooms, they could be marketed in an average of thirty days.
Ducks and rabbits are also high-yielding and fast-growing breeds, and duck down and rabbit skins can be used to make things.
As long as we raise these livestock, we will never have to worry about having meat to eat in the future, and we can even eat as much as we want.
Zong Kangping has already begun to imagine a wonderful life in the future where he will kill chickens, eat meat and drink soup.
He Junxia smiled and said, "Call a few older kids over to clean them up and keep them on the second and third floors. I'll go to the safe zone and catch a few more."
Otherwise, the tentacle monster will benefit in the end.
Wait, tentacle monster.
He Junxia lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the pitiful tentacle monster in the bucket, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never fed it.
You won’t starve to death, right?
He Junxia was not interested in the dead tentacle monster. He also wanted to try to tame a tentacle monster as a pet.
He Juanxia thought for a moment and said, "Where did you put that 5kg bag of dog food?"
Zong Kangping: "I'll ask Huihui."
Zhang Shuhui was at home teaching some of her younger children to learn Chinese characters and pinyin. Upon hearing this, she simply raised her hand and said, "The dog food is on the balcony. Look for it."
He Junxia returned to her room carrying dog food and a bucket of water. She opened the bag and took out a handful of dog food, mixed with a few freeze-dried foods that were either white or yellow.
Dog food has a special fishy smell. The little tentacle monster immediately became excited when it smelled the food in the air.
He Junxia tried to throw a few pieces of dog food in, and the suction cups on the tentacles of the little tentacle monster immediately sucked the chubby brown dog, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But seeing that its tentacles were almost sticking out with excitement, it was clear that it was very satisfied with the food.
How about trying hand feeding?
When He Junxia was raising a dog, she heard that feeding a dog by hand can quickly deepen the trust and affection between humans and dogs.
Anyway, he was not afraid that the little tentacle monster would suddenly turn against him.
