Chapter 163 It’s easy to get in, but hard to get out
The old Taoist frowned, "Is that so? Then I'll go to the base house to take a look, you guys wait for the news."
The old Taoist priest was a man of action. When he said he wanted to go and take a look, he immediately packed up and prepared to go out.
Before leaving, the old Taoist priest carried a backpack and stuffed a piece of cloth into it.
"Don't show off your wealth. I'm going to take this piece of cloth to explore the way first. You guys wait for my good news!"
As the old Taoist priest said this, he patted his backpack hard, laughed and walked away.
He walked very quickly and was out of the yard in a short while.
Watching him leave, Zhou Ziyang was helpless, "I said I was going with him, why is he leaving so fast!"
Nan Ci glanced at Zhou Ziyang with a smile, "Is there a possibility that he did it on purpose?"
When a person is alone, his goal is not that big.
If something really happens, it is more convenient to act alone.
It’s not that Zhou Ziyang doesn’t understand this, he just wants to go out for a walk.
Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang have been together for such a long time, and she knows Zhou Ziyang very well. Just by looking at Zhou Ziyang like this, she can guess what he is thinking.
"If you want to go out for a walk, go ahead. You don't have to worry about our safety at all."
Zhou Ziyang did not answer immediately, but instead looked conflicted.
After a long while, Zhou Ziyang sighed and said, "I'm not worried about your safety, I'm just worried about my own safety."
Nan Ci: “???”
Mu Qianqian: “???”
Zhou Ziyang, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
The three of them looked at each other, wide-eyed and small-eyed, and laughed at the same time.
Life is really boring, and occasionally talking like this can be considered a kind of spice.
Nan Ci originally thought that the old Taoist priest should come back before dinner, but until lunch time, he did not see the old Taoist priest come back.
"Why hasn't the Taoist priest come back yet?" Mu Qianqian sat by the window and looked out. "Could he have run into any trouble?"
Thinking about the old Taoist priest's ability, Nan Ci slowly shook his head, "It shouldn't be the case. Maybe he was just tripped up by something."
Just as he finished speaking, Nan Ci noticed with his sharp eyes that the old Taoist priest was walking towards him from a distance, with his hands tucked into his sleeves.
Just by looking at his leisurely appearance, you can tell that nothing has happened to him.
Nan Ci, feeling relieved, stood up and said, "I'll go get some ingredients. It's time to make lunch. What are we having for dinner today?"
"How about some dumplings?"
Mu Qianqian suddenly had an idea, but before Nan Ci could answer, she shook her head and said, "Forget it. Dumplings made with pork are the most delicious, and we don't have pork. When can we eat pork again?"
"Well, you say, chickens, ducks, and mice have all grown bigger, so will pigs also grow bigger? If pigs also grow bigger, how big would a pig be? If we really kill one, how many people would eat the pork!"
Listening to Mu Qianqian's mumbling, Nan Ci felt amused and helpless, "Based on the proportion of chickens and ducks growing bigger, if pigs really grow bigger, one will be at least as tall as a four or five-story building. I don't know if this city wall can stop it.
If you really encounter a pig, don't even think about eating pork, it's more practical to think about how to escape."
Mu Qianqian was obviously also imagining it in her mind. Her originally longing expression disappeared in an instant and her face turned a little paler.
“Puh, puh, puh!” Mu Qianqian spat several times in succession, “Go away with the bad luck! Go away with the bad luck! Please don’t let good things not work but bad things work!”
Zhou Ziyang looked at Mu Qianqian with curiosity, "Qianqian, tell me, is it good or bad to meet a pig? There is pork to eat, but it's a little dangerous——"
Before Zhou Ziyang could finish his words, Mu Qianqian grabbed hold of his fate.
While the two were arguing, the old Taoist priest had already walked out of the RV, opened the door with one hand and walked in.
Seeing Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang quarreling together, the old Taoist priest was a little surprised, "What are you two doing?"
Without waiting for the two to answer, the old Taoist priest took off his backpack and said, "I'm lucky today. I happened to meet the people who went out on a mission at the base and they brought back a pig.
I used that piece of cloth to exchange for five pounds of pork. We haven't eaten pork for a long time. How do you want to eat it? I would like to make dumplings for lunch and eat braised pork for dinner. This is the most exciting. What do you think? "
The old Taoist priest chattered on for a while before he noticed that everyone was staring at him without blinking.
The old Taoist blinked in confusion, "What's going on? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Mu Qianqian murmured to herself, "This is really a mixed bag of good and bad!"
The old Taoist priest was not happy when he heard this. "How can you say that fresh pork is mixed with good and bad? You don't want to eat it? Then I will eat more and you can just watch from the side."
“It’s not that I don’t want to eat, I just…”
"Master." Nan Ci interrupted Mu Qianqian's words, "How big is that pig?"
"It's really huge! Even though it's lying down, I think it's at least as high as four or five stories. If you go there, it's like a mountain.
Because it was too big, it couldn't be brought into the base, so it was disassembled outside the base. Anyone who wants to eat the meat can exchange it for what they want. Most of the people in the base are there now.
I heard from some people that many people living in the underground city have come out and are exchanging meat there.
Although a pig is very big, it is difficult to kill. I think it is not that easy to get one, so these people can't wait to go."
After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, Nan Ci's only bit of relief disappeared.
"If we divide the pigs outside the base, will the bloody smell attract other animals? If a pig can grow this big, how big can those ferocious animals be? If they do, I guess those people at the gate of the base won't be able to swallow them in one bite."
The old Taoist priest was only thinking about eating pork and completely forgot about this matter.
After hearing Nan Ci's words, the expression on his face changed, "You are right, the base is very dangerous now.
We may be worrying too much, but if it is true, it will be too late to find a solution by then."
Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang also became nervous, "What should we do? Should we leave the base immediately?"
Nan Ci glanced at her calmly and said, "Do you know which direction the animals will come from? If you leave now, you might bump into the animals coming over."
If that were really the case, then there would be no way to heaven and no door to hell!
Zhou Ziyang thought about it and suggested, "In that case, it would be safer to go underground. How about we live in the underground city?"
Nan Ci also thought of this, but didn’t really want to move in.
It’s different underground than above ground. It’s easy to live in, but hard to get out!
