Chapter 295: The Strange Town
Lan Shiruo smiled. "The base commander is a down-to-earth person, very much to the Dragon and Phoenix Team's liking. From now on, we'll all be friends, and it's only natural for us to help each other. However, judging by the numbers, tonight's attack was just a test run. From now on, the base commander will have to be more careful. However, we killed their leader, which was an unexpected surprise for them. The maggots didn't have much effect either, and they probably won't appear again in the near future. The base commander doesn't need to worry too much."
How could Wang Xifa not be worried? But he also knew that the Dragon and Phoenix Team could help once, but not every time. He still had to rely on himself. "Thank you Miss Lan for the reminder. We will pay attention to it in the future."
Lan Shiruo nodded and said, "We won't bother you anymore. Let's just leave. Thank you for your hospitality, Commander."
"Let's take a day off before leaving. You've been busy all night. Even if you're not tired, you'll be hungry. Go home and kill a few ducks so that everyone can have a good meal." This time Wang Xifa was not worried and invited him sincerely.
Lan Shiruo shook her head. "Two ducks are enough. Let's let the others go. We'll meet again in the future. Let's go a little further while the weather is cool. Goodbye."
Wang Xifa realized that he really couldn't keep them, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Thank you so much, everyone, have a safe trip."
There were wounded soldiers in Yan Tian's team. By the time they had treated the wounded, the main team had already left. He sighed and thought, "They left so abruptly. Didn't they even say a word to him?"
Wang Xifa smiled and patted his shoulder. "Keep working hard. You'll have a better future than in O City."
Yan Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, Base Commander, for your help."
The large team walked until the sun was at its highest point in the sky before they found a secluded place to stop and rest. With their current abilities, they were not too tired after working for most of the night, but they were still thinking about the two ducks.
Lan Shiruo smiled, "How do you want to eat?"
They thought of many ways to eat it, but two skinny ducks were not enough for them to fill their stomachs, not to mention the greedy beasts who were eyeing them greedily.
"How about we make some old duck soup? Each person gets a bowl of soup so they can share it. Forget about the meat."
Seeing her friend's tangle, Lan Shiruo felt that it would be better not to take the two ducks. It would only make her uncomfortable. "How about keeping them first and waiting for our own ducks to hatch, then looking for konjac and making a konjac roast duck?"
"How long will it take?" The little friend felt that it was a long process, and it was really worrying and uncomfortable.
If others knew that the awe-inspiring Dragon and Phoenix Team had been struggling for a long time over how to eat two ducks, they would definitely come over with knives and chop them. Are they deliberately provoking them and asking for a fight?
In the end, these two ducks were stewed with pickled radish along with a large piece of mutant beast ribs. The pickled radish was aged and was the most nutritious for stewing duck. This was at the beginning of the apocalypse, in the factory area, where the sauerkraut grower received it. There were also many kinds of pickles, enough to eat.
The only thing missing is fish. My friends have been talking about pickled fish for a long time. However, now that we have ducks, I think fish is not far away.
Although there was more soup than meat, the little friends were still very content. But the animals were very disgusted. They thought it was gone in a pee, so what was the point of eating it.
Animals don’t understand what health preservation is, so my friends don’t bother with them.
After eating and drinking, we continued on our journey without resting.
The boys and Lan Shiruo and her husband also rode their beasts, the girls and the boys riding in pairs, driving electric horses. From time to time, they would take down a clueless mutant or a lone zombie along the way, which was quite pleasant. For several days, everything went smoothly.
Before nightfall that day, we passed by a small town and decided to stay there for one night.
The town was completely silent, without even a single light. He Lian could clearly hear breathing, but no one was around, not a single voice. The streets were deserted, and the wind was cold and windy, making it feel eerie.
The big group just glanced at it casually and didn't pay much attention to it. They were only staying for one night anyway and would leave early the next morning.
Because of the town's strangeness, the large group didn't have any food to eat that night. Instead, they found a small, empty shop, blocked the entrance and exit, and simply took out the cooked food from the space to satisfy their hunger. After eating, they went to rest. The cubs and beasts were also infected by this atmosphere and didn't make any noise. They ate quietly and went to sleep.
Ao Chengyi and Lu Chaoyang were on guard duty. They felt uncomfortable here and needed to be more careful.
As soon as the sky was getting light, the big team got up and packed up to leave. Not only was the atmosphere here strange, but the smell was also strange. There was a foul stench from time to time, and we didn't sleep well the whole night.
The little friend's face turned pale, all because of the stench. This stench was unprecedented and particularly irritating to the brain.
As soon as I went out, I looked up and saw a listless old lady passing by on the opposite side of the road. The old lady was skin and bones, her face was sallow, and there were many pus-filled sores on her body. She was hunched over and walked unsteadily. She looked pitiful and disgusting. There seemed to be a foul smell wafting from her from time to time.
The big team didn't want to cause trouble, so they looked away at once and prepared to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, the old lady heard the noise and turned around, just in time to see the large group leaving. She screamed in anger and fear, with her teeth and claws bared and her face ferocious, "Hurry up, kill them, hurry up, hurry up!"
Who did they offend, my friends?
The old lady's voice was particularly shrill, and dozens of people with similar moral character rushed out from the surrounding buildings in an instant. Each of them looked like a walking corpse, and the pus on their bodies was disgusting and creepy, not much different from the rottenness of corpses. If it weren't for the humanity on their faces and their eyes not being gray, the little friend would have killed them long ago.
These people who rushed out, like the old lady, regarded the big group as the murderers of their fathers after just one encounter. They looked at the big group with ferocious eyes and extremely terrifying faces. They wanted to tear the skin off the big group. I don’t know how many lifetimes of accumulated resentment made this group of people hate them so much.
The incident happened so suddenly that the little friends were a little confused. By the time they reacted, they were already surrounded.
These people looked at them like dirty things, like germs, with disgust and hatred, shouting words like "kill", "beat to death", and "harm".
"It is these beasts who brought about this disaster. We are fine, we are all doing well. It is all their fault, it is all their fault." Someone cried and shouted, seeming desperate and unwilling.
"Kill them, kill them! These beasts will never die well. As long as they die, we can live. Kill them!"
"They are a scourge, a disaster. They are responsible for everything. Hurry and take action."
The crowd was furious, shouting more and more excitedly, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.
The little friend frowned and gathered closer, smelling the foul odor more clearly. It was indeed coming from them, or rather, from the abscesses on their bodies.
"It seems like they are scolding the contracted beast." Lu Chaoyang said,
Lan Shiruo nodded, "Jiang He, have you figured out what's going on with them?"
Duan Jianghe frowned fiercely. "Judging from their complexions, demeanor, body odor, and reactions, they should be suffering from a similar illness. This illness is similar to a combination of dysentery and plague, or perhaps something else. Further verification is needed."
"Infectious disease?" everyone exclaimed.
