Chapter 77 Stealing Food
Qiao Yu and the other three left the hospital together.
As expected, there was no one outside, only three torn corpses lying on the ground.
Cheng Sinian took a look at the white bones exposed in the corpse, and silently glanced at the jade vine standing upright like a sentry next to the house.
Tsk. Really fierce.
"They probably saw the corpse of the mutant flower plant." Cheng Sinian said as he threw a fireball at the three corpses.
The corpse quickly caught fire and turned into ashes in a short while.
"Then what do they want to do here?" Luo Zhenzhen blinked. "Settling scores? Or begging for mercy?"
"Maybe it's just a test." Qiao Yu touched his chin, "They might just want to confirm whether we killed the mutant flower plant."
"Then...should we..." Cheng Sinian didn't finish the rest of his words. He just put his hands across his neck and made a gesture of wiping his neck. The meaning was self-evident.
Anyway, they were the ones who started it first, so it's no wonder they retaliated.
Thinking of this, Cheng Sinian couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "If I had known earlier, I should have left the plants for another day. Let them also experience the feeling of their bodies being dissolved."
"Hey..." Qiao Yu waved his hands. "We are all civilized people. How can we just shout for war and killing at the slightest provocation? Besides, that blood is so dirty. Just a little compensation will do!"
As for whether they can survive after taking it...it depends on their luck.
"Compensation?" Cheng Sinian looked at Qiao Yu suspiciously.
Do these villagers have anything else in their hands?
Oh, right.
They also had food and guns.
…
You are "civilized," you are really "civilized." So "civilized" that you even steal other people's food.
Cheng Sinian silently lit candles for the villagers in his heart.
Qiao Yu leaned into Jiang Zhan's arms, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a hint of mischief flashed in her eyes, "I can't help it, who made me so soft-hearted..."
Jiang Zhan stroked Qiao Yu's hair, his face full of approval, "Ayu is just too kind."
Jiang Zhan really felt so.
If he had his way, those villagers would have had their limbs chopped off and hung upside down on trees to drain their blood.
How can we allow them to continue to live in disgrace?
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian rolled his eyes silently.
For a wife-slave like Jiang Zhan who has no principles, even if Qiao Yu says that shit smells good, he can still nod without changing his expression, right?
Cheng Sinian sneered and was about to laugh when he heard Luo Zhenzhen beside him nodding seriously, "Yes. Sister Qiao is really kind!"
“…”
Cheng Sinian choked, and the ridicule on his lips immediately turned around and turned into affirmation.
“Ah…yes, yes, yes!”
Qiao Yu is truly kind. Civilized and kind.
--
The four of them reached a consensus and walked towards the back mountain leisurely, as if they were taking a stroll after dinner.
Yu Qingchuan said that the caves in the back mountain were converted into "safe houses" by the villagers.
Since it is so "safe", I guess the food will be stored there too.
Cheng Sinian was walking down the street, looking at the mutant plants, when he suddenly asked, "Qiao Yu... Ordinary people can't eat mutant animals and plants because they're afraid of being infected by the virus. But since the mutants are already guaranteed not to be infected, can they eat them?"
"Who told you that aliens will definitely not be infected?" Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"?" Cheng Sinian was stunned and frowned. "Will aliens also be infected? Then Lin Yingjie and the others..."
Lin Yingjie and the others were seriously injured, but they showed no signs of being infected.
Qiao Yu didn't seem to be worried at all.
Is it because of Duoduo’s healing ability?
"Aliens have strong self-healing abilities. A simple injury is not enough to infect them. But this does not mean that they will not be infected by the virus at all."
Qiao Yu continued to explain, "I'm not entirely sure about the virus's infection mechanism, but I suspect it's like the immune system purifying the virus. Whether it's an ordinary survivor or a mutant, once the accumulated amount of the virus exceeds the upper limit of their ability to purify, they will be infected. It's just that mutants have much stronger resistance than ordinary people."
"So, of course, mutants can eat mutated plants and animals, but they can't eat too much. A few days is fine, but if you keep eating them for a month or two, even a Daluo Immortal can't save you. Otherwise, why do you think I'm stockpiling so much food?"
In his previous life, Qiao Yu had heard of many people who were infected and turned into alien species after eating mutated animals and plants.
Their abilities vary, and the only thing they have in common is that they have been consuming mutated plants and animals for more than a month.
If the mutated plants and animals were really edible, then the survivors of the previous life would not have to buy the bran and wheat cakes sold at the base.
Huh? Wheat bran pancakes...
"Oh, by the way, there is a kind of mutant wheat whose bran is edible, but that plant has been cultivated and it is probably not available now..." Qiao Yu added.
Cheng Sinian seemed to be lost in thought when he heard this, and a heavy look seemed to pass across his face.
Qiao Yu didn't notice the expression on Cheng Sinian's face. Seeing that he stopped asking questions, he didn't say anything else.
The four of them soon arrived near the back mountain where they rescued Yu Qingchuan last night.
Without the obstruction of thick fog, the large group of army green military trucks looked very conspicuous at this moment.
Jiang Zhan used the same trick again and wrapped the four people with his mental power again.
Qiao Yu had to admit that psychic abilities were really useful.
It is simply an essential skill for concealing one's whereabouts and committing murder and robbery.
The entrance to the cave was covered by a large iron plate, and two villagers were guarding the iron plate.
Qiao Yu thought about it and decided to start looking from the outside.
"Let's search all the trucks first." Qiao Yu took out two oil extraction hoses and several oil drums from the space and handed them to Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen. "Take away all the food and water. You can leave some gasoline for them. Just leave two or three liters for the outermost truck."
Cheng Sinian took the thing and laughed secretly in his heart.
As expected, it’s Qiao Yu.
What could be more painful than despair after hope?
The four men worked in pairs and quickly drained all the remaining gasoline from the trucks.
There were many guns in some cars, and the four of them did not let go of any of them, and put them one by one into the space.
But there was no food or water to be found. I guess they were all hidden in the cave.
After the four of them finished looting the car, Cheng Sinian threw a small fireball near the iron plate. The daytime temperature was high, and the mutant plants nearby quickly caught fire.
The two villagers guarding the gate panicked when they saw this, and immediately moved the iron plate at the entrance and went in to call for help.
The four of them took the opportunity to enter the cave and followed them around in twists and turns.
Yu Qingchuan was right, this place was indeed well connected. Although there were many entrances, they were almost all connected.
Here, Qiao Yu finally saw the woman and child.
The women gathered in twos and threes, mending clothes and looking after the younger children.
They do seem to be doing well.
Although there was a hint of sadness between the brows of those women and their mouths were a little chapped, they were not pale and thin.
The children are full of energy and smiling carefreely.
Everything was so peaceful and harmonious, as if the misfortune of the end of the world had never befallen this place.
But this kind of peace and happiness was achieved at the cost of more than 10,000 lives.
In order to maintain this superficial harmony, they even want to take more lives.
Qiao Yu turned his head away, not wanting to look anymore.
When the men who were originally sitting in the cave heard the two guards say that the cave entrance was on fire, they all ran out with tools such as shovels and hoes.
Jiang Zhan spotted the village chief rushing out with the crowd. After a moment's thought, he said to Qiao Yu, "Let's go take a look at where the village chief lives."
Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Let's hurry up and try to get out before they come back."
The four of them followed the wall and successfully arrived at the cave where the village chief lived alone.
The cave is not large and is simply furnished with only a bed and a set of tables and chairs.
But there were a lot of guns piled up in the corner, and two large bags of flour.
The flour was packed very carefully, with a woven bag on the outside and a large plastic bag on the inside to prevent moisture.
Cheng Sinian watched Qiao Yu put the things into the space without any hesitation, and reminded him in a low voice: "There should be more food than this."
The granary was huge. And according to Yu Qingchuan, it took dozens of them half a night to fill it with food. It was impossible for them to finish it all so quickly.
Qiao Yu nodded in agreement.
So the four of them quickly searched around the village chief's residence.
Sure enough, in a larger cave not far away, we found hundreds of woven bags of wheat, along with two large vats of water.
The four of them knew where the two jars of water came from.
Qiao Yu felt uncomfortable and didn't want the two jars of water, so he only let Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian go to collect the grain.
The four of them looted all the food, and then quickly walked out of the cave along the same route.
