As dawn broke, Lu Yuan led everyone to the lakeside.
Because they need to find many kinds of fish, they must figure out how many kinds of mutated fish there are in this river and what types they are.
After confirming these things, they realized what the mutated wolf packs' appetites were like, since apart from fish in the river being easy to catch, other methods were basically ineffective.
Everyone brought fishing nets, fishing rods, and various fishing equipment, making all the necessary preparations.
The car stopped on the riverbank, and everyone started fishing, each with their own luggage.
Fishing is a very enjoyable activity, so everyone is in a great mood today.
To ensure their safety, they chose a location on a very rugged mountain road, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was also the only road available.
They only needed to block the road with their car, and the wolf pack behind them wouldn't be able to get through, so they were safe for the time being.
Soon, Zhou Tong caught his first fish, a large fish about half a meter long.
The fish was very large, with a mouthful of sharp teeth, and looked extremely fierce.
After testing, it was found that the fish meat was okay. Apart from the meat being a bit tough, everything else was fine. It tasted very delicious when stewed.
However, Lu Yuan and his group were not there to eat fish today, but to catch fish, so they found a tank and threw the fish in.
Soon, other people also started to catch fish.
The fish in the river now are different from those in the previous life. Before the apocalypse, the fish had been caught by humans and learned their lesson, never taking the bait on their own, making them very difficult to catch.
However, this fish is different from the fish before the apocalypse. Their food sources are very difficult to find, and they basically live a life of survival of the fittest.
Once they spot prey, they show no wariness whatsoever. Instead, they rush over excitedly, vying to grab it. Basically, as soon as the bait is cast, the fish will take the bait immediately.
In no time, a huge tank behind them was filled with more than a dozen different kinds of fish.
Looking at the abundance of fish, Lu Yuan's face showed a hint of surprise.
He glanced down at his watch; it was already noon. His haul had been pretty good.
So he asked everyone to stop and rest for a while.
Because there are many different kinds of fish here, and some kinds of fish are more numerous, they found fish of the same kind, placed them on the ground, and began processing them.
After the apocalypse, almost everyone became a master chef. No matter how bad the food was, they could turn it into something delicious. This is an essential skill for people in the apocalypse.
The whole fish feast at noon was a delight for everyone, and everyone ate quite a lot of fish.
These fish have different flavors and varieties, but their meat is almost always much more delicious than the fish we knew before the apocalypse. The fish here are completely wild, with firm and bouncy flesh, and they taste exceptionally good.
"This fish is absolutely delicious! Before the apocalypse, it would have been almost impossible to find this kind of fish!"
"That's right! Hey, this fish is so delicious! Before the apocalypse, you couldn't find anything like this. You couldn't buy it even if you had money!"
"Who says otherwise? If we stay by this river, it looks like we'll be able to eat fish often!"
"Yes, when our aquatic resources are abundant, everyone's living conditions will gradually improve. With this food guarantee, maybe we can even live like we did before we tried it!"
As everyone ate and chatted, Lu Yuan sensed the anticipation in their hearts, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"It's almost time. Let's finish this afternoon and prepare for the test! Old Zhou, you immediately take some men to the forest to check on the wolf pack's condition. See if there are any cubs or lone wolves there. Let's catch a few to test them!"
Zhou Tong immediately nodded, gathered a few people, and drove to the vicinity of the jungle.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan continued fishing. This time, they changed locations several times and caught several new kinds of fish, totaling more than forty kinds. Lu Yuan felt that this fishing operation should be successful, especially since more than a dozen kinds of fish were abundant, making up the vast majority of the fish species in the entire river.
Lu Yuan glanced at the time and it was about 5 p.m. When he heard Zhou Tong's voice coming through the walkie-talkie, Lu Yuan realized it was about 5 p.m.
"We've caught them! Three wolf pups, two mother wolves, and one lone wolf!"
"Great! Be careful, I'll take my men back right now!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan hung up the call and got up to tell everyone to leave.
So everyone started packing up in a flurry. Once everything was packed, Lu Yuan drove the convoy to the edge of the jungle.
Zhou Tong and his group used iron chains to tie the wolves to the trees. All the wolves squeaked and bared their teeth, looking extremely fierce.
Especially those few female wolves, each with a fierce look in their eyes, but judging from their appearance, they were all skin and bones and not very strong.
After Lu Yuan got out of the car, Zhou Tong came up to him and pointed at several wolves.
"These wolves are basically the most important members of the entire pack! These female wolves are all the alpha wolf's wives!"
