Chapter 20 Try and Die
When they entered the market, they found that it had been looted long ago, and the ground was littered with trampled vegetable leaves.
"What a pity..." Mengbao picked up half a cabbage leaf and said with regret.
Only when you are hungry can you realize how precious food is.
The leftover scraps from previous cooking look incredibly delicious now.
The four of them searched each stall one by one, looking for vegetables that were still edible.
"Who did this? It's so wicked." Hagrid picked up half a tomato and frowned.
Yao Tao took the tomato from him and examined it carefully. "It doesn't look like it's been bitten by anyone."
"Who could have done it, then?" asked Hagrid.
"What do you think? A creature that can come out at night."
"It's a mutant rat!" Hagrid suddenly realized.
There are bound to be lots of rats in a farmers market.
After mutating, they came out and wreaked havoc, eating the vegetables and fruits in the market.
Unfortunately, all the good vegetables were eaten by them into crumbs. Wen Jiming and his friends searched for a long time before they found a few relatively intact potatoes.
"I'll go over there and see if there's anything to eat." Meng Bao had just walked to the stall on the other side when she heard a noise. She was so scared that she quickly ran back to Wen Jiming, "There's a sound over there."
Wen Jiming and Hagrid held their weapons tightly, while Yao Tao stood behind them with an air rifle to cooperate with them.
A few people tiptoed to the stall where the sound came from, and when they saw the source of the sound, they all felt relieved.
One could even see a hint of surprise in the eyes of Wen Jiming and the others.
"They're big geese." Wen Jiming gestured to Yao Tao behind him, "Two, alive."
These were live poultry sold in the market. After the apocalypse began, they mutated and escaped from their cages.
At this time, they were busy eating and pecking at the scattered leaves on the ground.
Compared with mutant mice, mutant geese have stronger attack power, but they are vegetarians, and... meat, this is food!
Meng Bao swallowed silently, "I just don't know if their meat is still edible."
"You can eat it, but not all of it." Yao Tao said lightly.
She had experienced a lifetime and knew better than anyone what could be eaten and what could not be eaten.
After hearing her words, no one had time to think about it, their minds were full of the delicious goose meat.
"Then let's get started. What are you waiting for?" Meng Bao was so greedy that he felt even hungrier.
Yao Tao put down the air gun and said, "You guys take care of it. I'm going to go upstairs and see if there's a big iron pot. When I get out, I'll make you some goose stewed with potatoes."
"Gurgle!" Wen Jiming, Meng Bao and Hagrid swallowed their saliva at the same time.
Just hearing the name of this dish makes one itch to try it.
"Okay, go ahead and we'll handle it ourselves." The three of them were full of fighting spirit.
After leaving, Yao Tao did not go to the second floor, but went to the basement.
The mutated geese are easier to deal with than the mutated mice, and she believes that Wen Jiming and the others will be fine.
If they can't even defeat two mutant geese, she's really going to tie up Q.
The underground floor sells seafood. The ground is slippery and littered with fish heads.
These are what was left after the mutant rats gnawed on them.
Her target is the cold storage.
A collapse occurred near the cold storage door, blocking it, and the supplies inside were preserved intact and not destroyed by the mutant rats.
Yao Tao tried to move a broken section of the wall.
Normally, two grown men couldn't lift the weight, but she moved it easily by herself.
She felt her strength growing.
what is going on?
She couldn't understand the changes that had happened to her, but she always felt that these things had something to do with Bai Lin who gave her space.
After clearing the collapsed wall, the cold storage door was exposed.
Yao Tao pulled the push rod and the cold storage door slowly opened.
So cold!
She couldn't help shivering.
Metal hooks were filled with frozen pigs, all half-carved and hissing with white smoke.
Yao Tao waved her hand and put them all into the space. She also did not miss the other meats and frozen seafood.
What surprised her most was that there were a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy products stored here.
Before leaving, she took out a marker from the space and wrote a line on the wall in imitation of Zhu Hua's handwriting: Join Zhu Hua's team and enjoy these rich supplies together.
After finishing it, Yao Tao admired it.
I believe that when other teams arrive here and see this line of words, they will definitely think that all the supplies here have been taken away by Zhu Hua.
Even if someone doubts its authenticity, it cannot resist human instinct.
Jealousy and greed will continue to grow.
Yao Tao left the cold storage happily, and found a black iron pot from the space. As an excuse to fool everyone, she carried it back to the first floor.
She thought Wen Jiming and his team had already killed the mutant goose, but when she came back, she saw another team of survivors confronting Wen Jiming and his team.
"There are two in total, and everyone who sees one gets one. There are only three of you, and we are more in number. What's wrong with you giving us one?" The leader of the group of survivors was a man with dyed yellow hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a fierce look in his eyes.
There were about ten survivors following Huangmao, both men and women. Some of them were holding sticks, some were holding iron bars, and some were holding mops.
It seems they came prepared.
Yao Tao sighed inwardly: Someone wants to die again.
She walked to Wen Jiming's side and asked, "What happened?"
Before Wen Jiming could speak, Meng Bao spoke first, "They are unreasonable. The three of us killed the mutant white goose, and they insisted that they helped and wanted a share."
"Did they really help?" Yao Tao asked.
"No, we killed him all before he suddenly rushed over and insisted that he was the one who did it." Meng Bao's face turned red with anger.
The yellow-haired man grinned and said, "Little girl, you still want to reason with me these days? I said I killed him, so I killed him. You have to give it to me whether you want to or not."
Meng Bao gritted his teeth angrily.
Hagrid said in a muffled voice, "What can we do if we don't give it to you?"
Huang Mao snorted complacently, "Don't you understand what people are saying? We have more people."
The implication is that if a fight breaks out, they will definitely win.
Yao Tao put down the iron pot and aimed the air gun at Huangmao.
Huang Mao was surprised that the other party had a gun in his hand. "What do you want to do? I tell you, we have more people. Do you dare to try?"
"Try it?" Yao Tao repeated Huangmao's words, but she was asking Hagrid and Wen Jiming.
Hagrid showed his dagger and said, "Try and you will die." He had disliked the yellow-haired man for a long time.
Huangmao didn't realize that danger was approaching, and he was still shouting arrogantly.
Before, he relied on his large numbers to steal food from other survivors.
He saw that Yao Tao and Meng Bao were both young women, and although Wen Jiming and Hagrid were big guys, there were only two of them.
Two fists cannot beat four hands, no matter how you look at it, his side has the chance of winning.
But he happened to forget one thing.
They are numerous, but they are a mob.
Although the other side has few people, they are all capable.
Yao Tao pointed the gun at Huang Mao and said, "Count to three and get out of here, or I'll shoot."
“You dare…”
