Chapter 173 Humans Amidst the Horde of Corpses



Li Jianguo then vomited up the jaundice.

Now that I can't stand the smell of fish, the thought of a salmon feast makes me nauseous again: "No, I just want something light."

Ye Jing pointed to the rice cooker that was cooking rice: "You can eat white rice."

When Qiao An'an and Chi Xiaoyu brought Ya Ya out, Grandpa Yan had already prepared dinner.

One salmon was used to make three dishes.

The fish meat was sliced ​​and served as sashimi on an ice plate. The fish head was sprinkled with canned chopped chili peppers and garlic to make chopped chili pepper fish head. The fish bones were stir-fried and then stewed into a milky white fish soup.

Ya Ya had never eaten raw fish before, nor could she eat fish heads with chili peppers. She could only eat rice soaked in fish bone broth. While eating, she asked Qiao An'an, "Mom, can you make braised fish for me tomorrow?"

When Grandpa Yan saw that Ya Ya was questioning his cooking skills, he immediately objected: "This is salmon, so it has to be eaten as sashimi."

Ya Ya: "But it's raw."

Who cooks salmon like that? This girl doesn't know what's good for her.

Grandpa Yan picked up a piece of succulent salmon, dipped it in some wasabi, and chewed it with relish: "Salmon tastes best when it's raw."

Ya Ya's little face was puffed up with anger: "Raw doesn't taste good, only braised by Mom tastes good! I wanted Mom to stew it for me, but it's all your fault for cutting it like that!!!"

Qiao An'an stopped Ya Ya: "If you want to eat braised fish, Mom can make it for you tomorrow. This is dinner that Grandpa worked hard to make for us. You can't talk to Grandpa like that. It's very impolite. You must apologize to Grandpa."

After being scolded by Qiao An'an, Ya Ya realized her mistake: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, Ya Ya was wrong."

Grandpa Yan quickly waved his hand and said it was nothing. Then he patted Ya Ya's head and said, "Grandpa was also at fault in this matter. Grandpa didn't know that Ya Ya likes to eat braised fish. Grandpa promises you that you can eat braised fish as soon as you get up tomorrow morning."

Ya Ya's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really?"

Grandpa Yan stretched out his little finger and tugged at Ya Ya's finger: "Pinky promise."

Even in stormy weather, no one dared to sleep soundly on land. To prevent zombies from attacking the yacht in the rainy night, Li Jianguo put on a raincoat after dinner and stood on the deck to keep watch.

The storm outside stopped in the latter half of the night.

Qiao An'an replaced Li Jianguo in his post.

Grandpa Yan doesn't have to stand guard, but he promised Ya Ya that she would have braised fish to eat as soon as she woke up, so he got up early to choose the fish.

He chose a large flounder that was perfect for braising. After removing the innards, he scalded the skin with boiling water, cut it into pieces, and put it in a pot with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, pepper, and MSG to braise.

It simmered for a full hour.

The fragrance filled the entire cabin.

Ya Ya woke up instantly from the sweet smell.

After getting up, I went straight to the kitchen, my mouth watering at the fish stewing in the pot.

Grandpa Yan used chopsticks to pick up a piece of stewed fish from the pot, poured some broth over it, and then handed it to Ya Ya: "Boss, fish only has one soft bone, which is perfect for little kids like you. Come and try Grandpa's cooking."

Ya Ya picked up a piece with her chopsticks, blew on it, and put it in her mouth. Then her eyes curved into crescents: "Delicious! This fish is so tender and fresh."

Grandpa Yan laughed: "It would be even more delicious with some tofu. Stewed fish with tofu is absolutely amazing!"

Just as Grandpa Yan was about to call everyone to get up for breakfast, Qiao An'an, who was on guard duty on the deck, suddenly shouted towards the cabin entrance: "There's a huge group of zombies over on the beach! Come out and help push the boat into the sea!!!"

Upon hearing Qiao An'an's shouts, Li Jianguo, Chi Xiaoyu, and Ye Jing, who were still asleep, immediately woke up.

I threw on some clothes and rushed off the yacht.

Several people worked together to push the yacht out to sea. Grandpa Yan hurriedly anchored and hoisted the sail. Just as they were preparing to sail forward, Chi Xiaoyu inadvertently turned her head and glanced at the shore, then said in a puzzled tone, "The one at the very front of that group of zombies looks like a living person!"

When Qiao An'an and the others boarded the yacht, most of their equipment was lost; she had only seen a dark mass of zombies with her naked eye before.

Hearing Chi Xiaoyu's words, he couldn't help but look towards the group of zombies on the shore again.

In just a few minutes, the zombies were very close to the beach, and she finally saw the person running at the front of the zombies. She wasn't sure, so she asked Li Jianguo beside her, "Is that Yan Ling?"

The person running in front of the zombies is shorter.

His face was also terribly dirty.

It seems like he's holding something in his arms.

Li Jianguo looked closely and said, "It looks like it, but I'm not sure."

Ye Jing thought it was easy to confirm, so he shouted at the horde of zombies, "Yan Ling!!!"

The person running at the front of the zombies was just running aimlessly on the beach when he heard the shouts. He paused and then looked in their direction.

Ye Jing: "I can tell from the name that it's Yan Ling."

Qiao An'an quickly told Grandpa Yan to stop and wait for Yan Ling.

Grandpa Yan hesitated.

The beach was teeming with zombies, and the water depth where they were was not safe. What if those zombies jumped into the sea and climbed onto their yacht?

Qiao An'an noticed Grandpa Yan's hesitation and comforted him, "I know what you're worried about. I promise you, if Yan Ling gets caught by zombies, we'll set sail immediately."

Grandpa Yan, holding the sail, said, "Okay."

After Yan Ling rushed into the sea, Qiao An'an and the others could see clearly that she was holding a child in her arms. The child was one of the five children who had survived in the community. Qiao An'an remembered that her name was Xu Ruoyu. She was a little girl who was less than a year older than Ya Ya. The little girl was dirty all over and had a pale face. She was clinging to Yan Ling tightly.

Yan Ling was originally quite a distance away from the zombie horde.

However, she was still carrying one in her arms, and given the limitations of the human body, her speed quickly slowed down. By the time she reached the side of the boat, several fast-moving zombies had already sprung out from behind her.

Qiao An'an raised her sword and beheaded the zombie that was approaching Yan Ling.

Li Jianguo kept swinging his baseball bat, hitting the zombies that tried to get closer.

Chi Xiaoyu carried Xu Ruoyu in one arm and pulled Yan Ling onto the boat with the other.

After Yan Ling boarded the ship, she wanted to help fight the zombies, but she was exhausted from running all the way and lay on the deck for a long time, unable to catch her breath.

Grandpa Yan and Ye Jing immediately set sail after seeing people board the boat.

After the boat started moving, there were still many zombies hanging at the stern. It wasn't until they had sailed quite a distance that Qiao An'an and Li Jianguo had killed off all the zombies at the stern.

Qiao An'an first took Yan Ling and Xu Ruoyu to the cabin to shower and change their clothes, and then led them to the dining table to have breakfast.

Xu Ruoyu had gained a lot of weight since leaving prison, and her face was sallow. She immediately began to wolf down the food as soon as she saw it.

Qiao An'an looked at Yan Ling: "How did you two end up together? What about the other children?"

Xu Ruoyu was eating when she heard Qiao An'an asking the other children, and she immediately started crying.
