A new day has begun.
At 10 a.m. the next day, a spirited Jiang Wu led the two women to the large campsite in the mountain valley.
This place is still a busy construction site.
More than two thousand people have been working through the night until now.
The shells of the mutated lobster piled up into a small mountain.
Hundreds of bonfires were lit in an area of over a thousand square meters near the mountain ridge on the left.
Above the fire, an iron mesh was strung up, and on the mesh were chunks of white meat.
Some women moved among the wire mesh, occasionally checking on the roasting of the meat.
Many more people were still cutting up turtle and shrimp meat.
Many people had bloodshot eyes and yawned frequently.
They all looked haggard.
Yet, bright smiles would occasionally appear on their faces.
To Jiang Wu's surprise, there were also many men gathered around the lake.
Holding a bamboo pole or steel bar, it looks like they're fishing.
These anglers never forget fishing, no matter what...
......
Li Zecheng sat on the ground writing something, looking serious, his eyes bloodshot.
It wasn't until someone reminded him that he looked up and saw Jiang Wu, who was more than ten meters away.
He quickly got up and ran to Jiang Wu's side to report: "Chief, there are about 60 tons of giant alligator snapping turtle meat, about 8 tons of giant lobster meat, and about 30 tons of the smaller lobster meat."
Jiang Wu exclaimed in surprise, "That's a hundred tons! How can it be so much?"
Li Zecheng was also quite excited, saying happily, "When the statistics were first compiled, I was also shocked. Moreover, there were other unexpected discoveries. There were quite a few frogs in the lake! Each of them weighed more than ten kilograms!"
"There are also loaches weighing twenty pounds each, eels weighing over a hundred pounds each, and all kinds of fish, the smallest of which weigh over ten pounds! The biodiversity in this lake is astonishing! It's simply a miracle!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion arose from the lakeside.
Jiang Wu, whose five senses are extremely sharp, turned his head to look over.
It turns out that someone had caught a creature over ten meters long by the lake, and it was unclear whether it was a snake or an eel.
After being dragged ashore, it frantically twisted its head and struggled.
Several grown men worked together to pull the steel bar to prevent it from escaping back into the lake.
There were also many anglers nearby waving flags and shouting encouragement.
"let me!"
A roar.
Luo Mingming rushed forward with a crocodile turtle claw blade, slashing the creature hard at its vital spot several times in succession.
Even though the serpentine creature was extremely slippery, it was almost chopped in two.
At the same time, it flicked its long tail and slapped Luo Mingming.
Luo Mingming grabbed its tail and slammed it hard to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
He then stepped on the snake-like creature and slashed at it several more times.
It behaved unusually fiercely.
The onlookers all laughed.
"Hahaha! As expected of Brother Luo! So cool!"
"Absolutely! Otherwise, how could he be called Brother Luo!"
The dozens of women picking the mutated plants by the lake looked at Luo Mingming with eyes that seemed to be shining.
The girl named Xiaocao standing next to them glared at the women and then took the initiative to hug Luo Mingming's arm.
It's as if it's asserting its sovereignty.
Luo Mingming hugged Xiaocao and smiled very silly.
Jiang Wu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This little sprout seems to be still immature..."
Seeing that Jiang Wu kept looking at the lake, Li Zecheng assumed that the leader was curious about why there were so many mutated creatures in the lake.
So he explained, "Chief, although this lake is less than 30,000 square meters in area, it is quite deep. We found some tools for raising crayfish and various river delicacies on the lake shore."
"Later, the apocalypse occurred, and the creatures in the lake mutated. Those that didn't mutate were all eliminated, while the other mutated creatures, due to their rapid growth, gradually filled the entire small lake..."
"We inspected the lakeside, and besides the giant water hyacinths, many other aquatic plants remained, but they all mutated..."
"And so, the creatures in the lake formed a new food chain, ushering in a biological explosion. At the very top was the giant alligator snapping turtle; its presence prevented the lake's population from becoming too overwhelming..."
Jiang Wu listened patiently and smiled, "Yes, I understand. But you should be careful next time, especially regarding safety! Nobody knows if there are other deadly creatures in the lake."
Li Zecheng nodded and said, "Chief, we understand. Miss Ning took the initiative to go to the lake to check. To test whether there was any danger, she put on snake scale armor and a crocodile skin trench coat and jumped into the lake to check. We only came over after confirming that there was no danger."
Jiang Wu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was startled.
This Ning Chuxia actually took the initiative to do things for the base?
Did her brain develop further?
Could it be that she drank fresh human blood?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wu subconsciously tried to find the figure who always wore a red dress.
Soon, Jiang Wu saw Ning Chuxia sitting alone on the hillside.
She was looking at him at that moment.
He looked blank and had a wooden expression.
It pales in comparison to the Blood Woman's agile and alluring charm.
It's the same as before.
Jiang Wu turned around, looked at the lake, and said calmly, "Okay, but we've already harvested a lot of meat. Don't catch too much. Let the creatures in the lake reproduce on their own. This place isn't far from our base. From now on, this lake will be our base's fresh meat production site."
