Chapter 986: This fish is poisonous, why didn’t you tell me earlier?
In fact, his feeling was not wrong. Someone deliberately made everything go smoothly for them.
The traps were already set, just waiting for people to walk in, so how could it not be smooth? In order to make their journey smooth, the other party even removed the roadblocks in advance.
So, when Mamahas was still feeling that something was wrong, the group finally arrived at their destination in the desert.
At this time, Mamahas had no idea that they had been surrounded.
The desert is called a desert because it is endless and covered with orange sand.
There isn't much else in the Middle East, just a lot of desert.
Looking out over the horizon, there are endless deserts and hills piled high with desert.
The road is difficult to walk on and it's hot for feet.
Mamahas enthusiastically introduced, "You don't have many deserts in China, right? Before the apocalypse, the surface temperature could reach 70 degrees Celsius. Now, in the apocalypse, with no sunlight, it's still over 50 degrees Celsius, and the perceived temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius."
Jingshu smiled slightly. What a coincidence. There is not much else in Wucheng except deserts, and the surface temperature of the Bull Demon King's Flaming Mountain can reach 70 degrees.
Of course, we are talking about the surface temperature, not the perceived temperature.
Mr. Zhou nodded and said with a smile, "This temperature is good enough to make dumplings."
Yang Yang said on the side: "It's almost done, the dumplings can be put into the pot."
Jingshu said, "You have to wait, the water is not boiling yet."
Mamahas: “…” Although he could understand every word, he didn’t quite understand the meaning of it as a whole.
However, when swimming fish really appeared in the desert, Mamahas was still surprised.
The place where everyone came to was a big pit. Mamahas said that this used to be a lake. Lakes in the desert are very rare, so this place has become a habitat for various animals around it.
Wars often break out among animals just to grab this water source.
"But after the apocalypse, the lake disappeared during the drought years. Then there were rains that flooded the area, and then there was a major earthquake. The desert is no longer what it used to be. It's very dangerous in the desert, especially now that there's no way to find your way."
"To be honest, our people haven't explored this desert for a long time. As for the existence of fish swimming in the desert, I have never heard of it. This must be a lie--" Mamahas was still speaking when Jingshu tugged at his sleeve.
Then let him see the place where the lake used to be, which is now a big desert pit.
Mamahas looked at that place in shock: "Really, this is fucking hell, there really are fish in this desert, but are these fish really fish?"
This thing looks about 80% like a fish, with fins, a tail, and even the same head. It also bears a resemblance to a scavenger fish, but it has four legs that allow it to glide freely across the desert. It also has a large, hourglass-like mouth that can hold a lot of sand.
Jing Shu narrowed her eyes. "It looks completely black, like a dark creature. I don't know if it's edible. It looks disgusting."
When the topic of whether or not to eat it came up, the eyes of the people around lit up.
It is so precious to be able to find edible food in the end times.
Without Jingshu's words, someone quickly dug dozens of strange fish out of the beach.
The strange fish has good fighting ability. It bites whatever it catches with its big mouth, and makes a clanging sound on the iron rod, which makes people's teeth ache just by listening to it.
Mamahas was stunned. Just when he was still thinking that there were really fish in the desert and it was too weird, the Huaxia Merchants Group had already caught the fish and used more than a dozen cooking methods on the spot.
There are options such as frying, braising, steaming, and sashimi. Some even go a step further and chop the fish into pieces to make fish balls.
After a while, a table full of strange fish feast was served.
Mamahas: Huh?
"Come, how about trying it first." Old Zhou picked up the braised strange fish first.
In fact, according to the real tasting process, it should be tested by professionals.
Toxins, extract experimental reports, analyze protein nutrients, etc.
But now is obviously not the time to worry about these things, so everyone skipped the steps and cooked it directly.
Mamahas tasted the fried and braised ones, smacked his lips, nodded, and his eyes lit up: "This meat tastes quite delicious."
Jingshu's mouth twitched slightly. The sauce made by the chef she brought with her was so delicious that it would taste good even if you dipped the soles of your shoes in it.
but--
"This fish is pretty average." Jingshu ate two bites and stopped. "It's mainly because the meat is not good. The chef just said there is too much sand in it. I have to remove the sand one by one when cooking it."
Mr. Zhou also nodded and said, "There's always sand in the fish balls that hurts your teeth."
The others who sat down to eat didn't have so many problems. They just swallowed it anyway. The fish prepared by the chef was really delicious.
Yang Yang's face looked strange, "There is still one biggest problem——"
Mamahas thought this was no big deal, so he asked, "What's the problem? Here, anything edible is considered food. We don't mind eating sand."
But before he could finish his words, his face turned purple and black, and in an instant, his lips swelled up like sausages. "Woo woo?"
Then he stiffened.
Yang Yang continued, "The biggest problem is that fish are poisonous with dark energy."
Mamahas: “…” Why didn’t you say it earlier! !
Mr. Zhou called the accompanying doctor, and after giving Mamahas a good treatment, all other parts of Mamahas recovered, except his mouth, which was still like a sausage. He had great difficulty speaking, and he was shaking his head like a rattle.
"You can't eat this fish anymore. You can't eat it anymore. It's really poisonous. But why didn't so many of you get poisoned after eating it?"
Cough cough!
cough!
A group of people blinked their eyes and said, yes, why.
Yang Yang also coughed and was looking for how to explain that the dark energy in the fish was poisonous to ordinary people, but it was useless to those of them who had some abilities.
Jing Shu said, "That's because we in China eat this kind of poisonous food every day, so we've become immune to it. Don't you know that we Chinese eat everything?"
"Oh, I see." Mamahas's concerns were dispelled, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't tell Mamahas that we were all new humans from the apocalypse, could we? If they got out, wouldn't they be in big trouble?
So, Mamahas could only watch enviously as the Chinese merchant group finished this sumptuous fish feast. These Chinese people also caught a lot of such fish in the desert pit.
Mamahas thought to himself, the young lady has had enough fun, isn't it time to go back? At this moment, a strange change occurred. The sand pit in the middle exploded, and countless strange fish crawled out -
