Chapter 22 I am not feeling well and cannot eat instant noodles
Yao Tao split the remaining mutant goose into two halves and spread them flat on the ground.
Wen Jiming and his friends noticed that the goose's body was covered with dark red things that looked like meridians, which finally converged at the heart to form a "tumor".
"This meat stained with crimson veins can't be eaten." Yao Tao used a knife to stir for a long time before finally finding a piece of normal meat. "Only this part can be eaten."
"That's all there is?" Meng Bao was extremely disappointed. "Just a small amount... who can eat it?"
Wen Jiming and Hagrid had not expected that such a big goose, which they had thought would be enough to fill the four of them, would only give them a palm-sized amount of meat.
"It's okay. I also found a bag of frozen chicken legs. A pot of it is enough for the four of us." Yao Tao cleaned the cut goose meat and asked Hagrid to dig a hole and bury the rest on the spot.
Wen Jiming seemed to be thinking, "What would happen if I ate those parts too?"
"It won't be a big deal. At most it will be infected and mutated." Yao Tao answered without raising her head while cutting potatoes quickly.
Wen Jiming's eyes lit up, "No wonder you gave the other one to them so readily."
Yao Tao said seriously, "I am very kind and I even warned them that they would eat the dead."
Wen Jiming felt a little scared after hearing this.
If Yao Tao hadn't told them this, maybe one day they would have cooked and eaten the mutant animals because of hunger.
By then, their life and death will no longer be in their hands.
"How do you know this?" He looked at Yao Tao.
Yao Tao obviously looks about the same age as Meng Bao, but she has a calmness that even he cannot match.
It was as if she knew everything about the end of the world by heart, and nothing could stump her.
Yao Tao put the chopped goose meat into the pot and blanched it. When she heard Wen Jiming ask her, she frowned slightly.
"If it's not convenient to say, forget it." Wen Jiming realized that the questions he asked might involve personal privacy.
"I can't tell you why I know this, but I can tell you one more thing...there's another major outbreak of plant mutation."
Wen Jiming took a breath of cold air.
They have already experienced two plant mutations, and the entire city has been turned upside down.
Is this going to happen again?
Wen Jiming felt unwell. "Then... can the resettlement site accommodate all the survivors?"
Yao Tao glanced at him and sneered.
Wen Jiming could hear the sarcasm in her laughter, and his heart grew heavier. "I understand. Thank you for reminding me."
He understood that the resettlement site was unreliable.
Yao Tao knew that Wen Jiming was a smart man, and he would have done well even without her guidance in his previous life.
But his character was too mild, which was a disadvantage.
No wonder he died at the hands of his ex-wife in his previous life. It was probably because he was soft-hearted for a moment and became Mr. Dongguo.
Yao Tao used the backpack as cover to take out a bag of frozen chicken legs from the space.
Wash it, chop it into pieces, drain it, add her own seasoning and marinate it for a while.
Wash the potatoes and cut them into pieces, then heat the oil in a large pot, then add the marinated chicken legs and goose meat and stir-fry.
Mengbao squatted beside the pot and kept smelling the fragrance.
Wen Jiming joked, "If you look any further, your eyes will fall into the pot."
"Wow, I was so stupid before." Meng Bao said tearfully, "I didn't eat so many good things in order to lose weight."
Wen Jiming smiled bitterly.
After waiting for a long time for the dish to be cooked, several people sat around the pot.
Wen Jiming found some twigs and used a knife to peel off the skin to make chopsticks.
Hagrid picked up a large piece of potato with his chopsticks. "Wow, it's hot." He blew on it and took a bite with relish.
The potatoes were sandy and floury.
He picked up another piece of chicken thigh.
The meat is tender and the sauce is flavorful.
Wen Jiming picked up a large piece of goose meat and took a bite with a serious expression.
The meat is chewy but not dry, and surprisingly delicious.
It seems that what Yao Tao said was right. Meat that has not been infected by mutations can still be eaten normally.
This way they no longer have to worry about going hungry.
By hunting mutant animals, they can get food.
There are some risks, but as long as you have food to eat, you can survive!
"Coach Wen, what are you thinking about? Eat quickly." Meng Bao noticed that Wen Jiming was lost in thought while eating. "Yao Tao's cooking skills are amazing. Wow, it's so lucky to be on the same team with her."
Wen Jiming put down his chopsticks and said solemnly to Yao Tao, "What are your plans for the future? Why don't we form a team?"
Yao Tao shook her head, "I'm used to being alone."
"It's so lonely to be alone." Meng Bao said, "We can have someone to look after us if we are together."
"No, I don't want to join someone else's team just yet. But if you can form a team, maybe I'll ask you for help in the future."
Seeing that Yao Tao had made up her mind, Wen Jiming had to give up trying to persuade her.
Because he knew that with Yao Tao's abilities, she could live well alone.
Everyone enjoyed the meal happily.
After a ten-minute break after lunch, everyone set off again.
After walking for a while, they heard a painful cry for help coming from somewhere.
"Help……"
"Someone come and save me..."
"Wow, I don't want to die..."
Wen Jiming and others followed the sound and saw many people lying in a mess under a big tree, all of them sweating profusely and unconscious.
"It's them..." Mengbao saw the big gold chain that stole their big goose.
The big gold chain had greasy edges around its mouth, and a piece of goose meat had fallen off its feet.
Wen Jiming walked over and kicked the piece of meat with his foot.
The roasted meat was covered with a network of deep red meridians, and it was obvious that it was mutated and infected meat.
Da Jinlian struggled to raise his hand to grab Wen Jiming.
Wen Jiming pushed his hand away without mercy.
"I've told you that eating anything you don't like will kill you. Why don't you listen?" Meng Bao imitated Yao Tao's tone and said sarcastically.
Big Gold Chain was shaking with anger, but he felt more of a fear of death.
Yao Tao and others did not stop and walked past them one after another.
She doesn't care whether these people are dead or alive.
She wouldn't save them.
Thanks to Yao Tao leading the team, the four of them finally arrived at their destination near dusk.
Half of the building where the shooting range was located collapsed, but fortunately everything inside was still there.
Wen Jiming and Hagrid ventured in several times and took out a lot of things.
"This is your reward." Wen Jiming gave Yao Tao two bows, twenty arrows, and a pair of quivers. "This is also for you. You can take a look at it when you have time."
Wen Jiming gave her an archery guide.
Yao Tao took them all.
Because she still wanted to learn archery from Wen Jiming, she stayed that night.
A few of them found a place to spend the night nearby, and they ate instant noodles that Wen Jiming brought from the archery hall.
Mengbao used a large iron pot to boil water for instant noodles, but Yao Tao refused to eat them after they were cooked and gave all the noodles to Wen Jiming and the others.
"Yao Tao, why don't you eat?" Meng Bao asked with concern.
"I'm not in good health and can't eat this kind of non-nutritious food often." Yao Tao answered while taking out a potato from her backpack.
Wen Jiming: “…”
Are you not feeling well?
Meng Bao: “…”
Those who are not in good health are the strongest among them!
Hagrid: "..."
I have a lot of complaints I want to make, but I don’t know where to start.
