Chapter 781: Coveted Whirlwind
After hearing what the staff said, the man didn't know whether to swallow or spit out the meat in his mouth. He asked with a distorted expression:
"Didn't you issue a notice saying that the mutant mice carry the virus?"
"It is a virus! I can't fool you with this, so the government will replace it and process it in a centralized manner, and then sterilize it at high temperature to make it into edible meat patties. You can eat the processed meat without worry. If there is any problem, we dare not send it to you."
The staff member explained nonchalantly.
The man swallowed the meat in his mouth and told the truth:
"It doesn't have any weird taste and is quite chewy. It's ok!"
"It's good enough to have meat to eat, but you're still picky. What time is it now?
"Brother, can you please exchange my relief food for these meat patties? Meat can keep you going!"
A thin man behind him immediately stepped forward and spoke loudly.
"Not this time. Not much was produced in the first batch, so it was distributed with food. It should be fine next month."
The staff explained patiently.
"Okay, please take it."
The man took out his household registration booklet and ID card, and then received this week's relief food. He ate the mutant rat meat pie immediately, and licked his lips after finishing it:
“Finally I can eat meat!”
Thanks to the emergence of mutant rat meat, the survivors in Qimu City were given a certain buffer.
The base then issued an announcement to recruit staff from among the survivors to start processing the city's garbage after the accumulated water in the city evaporated. The corpse collection team and security inspectors were paid the highest, with 15 kilograms of food and mutant rat meat patties per month. There were many applicants, but not many were accepted.
Not to mention the corpse collection team, which is a high-risk job, dealing with rotting corpses. If you are not careful, you will be infected. So what is needed are young people with good physical strength and resistance. But after more than half a year of natural disasters, how many strong people can be found? They can only pick the tallest among the short ones.
As for the security patrol, that requires some skills. Otherwise, before you can catch the people who disrupt the order, you will be dealt with by others. How can you maintain public order then?
Before the security patrol team was assembled, some military and police personnel were selected to take over temporarily. The Vanguard Squad was among them. However, their combat power was high and they were equipped with hot weapons, so the nine people were divided into two groups, and they stayed together with familiar friends. Lianyi had no way to be lazy, so she could only pull Xuanfeng to the post.
However, due to the continued extremely hot weather, they can also rest during the hottest time at noon when no one can be seen. Generally, after five o'clock in the afternoon, when the temperature drops a little, they will patrol in the ruined city, but mainly in places where survivors gather.
Lian Yi was fully armed and walked at the end of the team wearing cool sunglasses. She looked like she was just here to get by, because Yuan Chongming and the others looked stronger than her.
Lianyi ignored all the unfriendly looks, but she couldn't do anything to her.
On this day, the patrol team was halfway through their patrol and was preparing to find a place to rest when they came towards a group of people whose target was Lianyi.
Lianyi pushed up her sunglasses on her nose, looked at the leading man, and waited for them to speak first.
"Hello, are you Miss Yu Lianyi?"
The man who was speaking was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, a pair of myopic glasses on his nose, and had fair skin. It was obvious that he did not make a living outside.
"I am. What's up?"
"It's like this, I'm a researcher at the Research Institute, and I have a request."
The man spoke in an official tone.
"Then don't speak."
Lian Yi said directly.
“.”
The man was choked and could only adjust his glasses awkwardly before speaking:
“It’s a matter of human survival”
"Don't flatter me. Just say what you want to say and fart if you want to fart!"
Lianyi didn't buy his talk and just crossed her arms and said.
"Hey, your mutant cat"
The man was so blocked that he could only get straight to the point.
"No need to discuss this."
Lian Yi's lips drooped as she spoke coldly.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, why did Ms. Yu refuse?"
The man said in disbelief.
"I brought back the mutant mice you were researching, and now you're targeting my Tornado. Do you think I would contribute my companion to your anatomical research?"
"Meow!" Tornado called out, then looked at the man with an unfriendly look, even baring his teeth.
"Humph! There are always bad guys who want to harm it! The cat is still awesome!"
"No, you misunderstood. We won't harm it. We're just borrowing it for a while so we can collect some data."
The man suppressed his anger and tried to explain patiently.
"Do you think I'm a fool? Borrow? How do you collect data? It must be during the whirlwind attack and battle. Drawing blood and plucking hair are no big deal. What other methods do you have? Let it fight with mutant rats? Extreme test? Dissection?"
Lian Yi said with a cold face.
“No.”
The man wanted to explain, but was interrupted again after saying three words.
"I refuse, please go back!"
"You are simply unreasonable. For the sake of those who survive, some sacrifices are inevitable."
The man's voice rose several degrees, attracting the attention of many people.
"Then why don't you sacrifice yourself? This is because the board didn't fall on you. Go away! My meaning is very clear. Don't bother me anymore."
Ripple waved her hand.
The man was very unwilling and waved to the people behind him, as if he was ready to take Tornado away by force.
Now not only Xuanfeng was furious, but Lianyi's face also fell. He wanted to force a fight with her, but was looking at her and thinking that she didn't dare to do it?
"whirlwind!"
Lian Yi greeted directly.
The whirlwind let out a "meow" and jumped directly from the shoulder of its master, its target being the man in the lead. This guy kept chattering for a long time, just wanting to catch it and dissect it, and he was determined to take it down.
The person who rushed over from behind the man was tied up by Lianyi's deadly silk before he could even make a move. He twisted his body on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Ah! Go away! Go away! Help!"
The fierce Whirlwind had already knocked the man to the ground, and its claws, flashing with cold light, were greeting the man's face. The man's face was covered with blood marks, and he was crying for help.
Yuan Chongming took a step forward and said to the people who were lying on the ground:
"Go back and tell your leader that our Vanguard Squad is not someone you can easily mess with. You are here to carry out a mission this time. I won't make things difficult for you, but I don't want it to happen again!
My team members made it very clear that they should find other research subjects."
"We got it!"
The people who were tied up were also helpless. It was because they were sent by their superiors to protect this idiot. They wanted to morally blackmail others, but they didn't buy it.
"Tornado, come back!"
Lianyi saw that the whirlwind was almost out and shouted.
"Meow!" How could this idiot be so weak!
