Lin Ruo had just taken out the mutated elephant meat when Afu and Ashou ran over. They had used up a lot of energy during the upgrade, and their breakfast had already been digested. They were starving.
Lin Ruo divided the meat into their feeding bowls, and they lowered their heads and ate heartily. They could now gnaw on the elephant bones that they couldn't chew before. They ate 300 jin of raw meat before they stopped.
She had a good idea of Afu and Ashou's appetites. After the upgrade, Afu and Ashou's appetites increased by 50 jin each.
Lin Ruo's mental energy sank into the space, looking at the mountain of mutated animal corpses in his still space, and suddenly felt that there was too little, was it enough to eat?
Moreover, the three beasts at home are all level 2 now, and the level 1 mutated beast meat in the space can only fill their stomachs, as the energy in it is not enough for them to absorb.
She sighed softly. Being a cat owner isn't easy. Thinking that she hadn't been out for several days, she decided to give herself a break today and prepare more food for the three of them.
She called out to Afu and Ashou, who were about to run outside after finishing their meal, "Wait for me, I'll go out with you."
Upon hearing this, Afu's eyes lit up. He immediately blocked Ashou, who was running towards Lin Ruo, and let out a "woof" at him. Stupid dog, the more you disturb your master, the slower your master will change clothes.
Ah Shou glanced at Ah Fu, then tossed his head and walked out of the fortress, striding confidently to play with Ah Liu, ignoring Ah Fu altogether.
Afu rolled his eyes, lay down on the ground, and said, "Who cares!"
After she changed her clothes, Afu and Ashou were already waiting outside. Ashou was lying on the ground, and when she came out of the fortress, it barked at her twice to remind her that she hadn't sat on it last time, so she should sit on its back today.
Lin Ruo smiled and nodded, closed and locked the fortress gate, and then jumped onto A Shou's back. Now that A Shou's body had grown larger, his back was also wider, so Lin Ruo could easily lie flat on it.
Afu led the way. Since she was accompanying them on a trip, Lin Ruo didn't insist on which direction they should go, but simply followed their lead.
Two giant dogs, one silver and one black, sped through the forest. Lin Ruo, sitting on A Shou's back, could directly feel the increase in A Shou's speed; the dog was as fast as a blur.
The cold wind stung her face, even with a mask on. She simply snuggled into Ah Shou's fur, finding it warm beneath her. Ah Shou was practically an invisible heater, a must-have for any outing.
Lin Ruo held Ah Shou's fur tightly, her heart filled with joy. She never expected that raising two companions would turn them into both mounts and bodyguards, making them incredibly cost-effective.
At this moment, she could no longer recall the worry she had felt about the two of them not having enough food.
They sped all the way to the city. Lin Ruo looked up in surprise, not expecting that Afu and Ashou had come to the city.
The corpses of the insects that had been poisoned during the previous insect swarm were all gone. Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, wondering what the B City base thought when they took back the insect corpses but didn't find many crystal cores among them.
Thinking of the mountains of crystal cores in the space, Lin Ruo's eyes crinkled with joy. This was the advantage of acting early.
Four months later, the city has regained its vitality, and traces of human and mutated animal activity have been found.
Turning the corner, Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow; there were quite a few people on the street.
Some were working in groups, tirelessly chiseling away at the thick ice on the ground. Lin Ruo had been there once before, so she naturally knew what they were doing.
These ice layers contain all sorts of things: some household items, some furniture that can be used for heating and fire, and many small, uncontaminated food items.
Six months into the apocalypse, many underground shops that hadn't been exposed had their ice layers broken open, and everything inside had been taken away, leaving only scattered supplies hidden in the ice.
Regardless of how much grain the base in City B has left, it will not distribute it free of charge. Judging from the prices of supplies a few months ago, it would be difficult for ordinary people to have enough to eat every day now.
It would be good to find some scattered food in this ice.
She sat on Ah Shou's back and walked down the street with Ah Fu. Those who saw them were afraid of the huge mutated beasts like Ah Fu and Ah Shou, but they did not keep their distance.
This is probably because these survivors have encountered Afu and Ashou more often in the past few months and have discovered that Afu and Ashou never intentionally harm anyone.
She suddenly looked up at the building next to her. There was a very small window on the fourth floor, with curtains covering it, leaving only a thin black slit.
There were people watching them.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly probed the fourth floor with her mental energy. The scene behind the curtains instantly came into view.
Two large braziers were lit in the middle of the room, and a dozen or so people were sitting or lying around them, resting in the room. Each of them was equipped with a rifle, and several others had sniper rifles standing next to them.
One person stood at the window to monitor the area below, while two people stood at the door to keep watch.
This was a strong team of survivors. Sensing that they were not hostile, Lin Ruo looked away and let Ashou lead her forward.
In my previous life, there were many such survivor squads. They preferred to live outside the base because the base was full of survivors, and with so many people around, they had to be constantly on guard against attacks from others. It was more convenient to live outside than to steal.
Lin Ruo thought of the base rules she had seen when she visited the base in City B. Now, they probably had to add another reason to their living outside: the authorities were restricting their actions.
It makes sense, really. To earn points at the base, you either have to work twice as hard, but the points you get from working don't match the effort you put in, or you have to go outside to do missions and find supplies.
After earning points and exchanging them for supplies, you still need to be constantly wary of the people around you.
In addition, the insect swarm had passed for several months. Apart from the disturbance of mutated animals and the hardship of the extreme cold, they had not encountered any other disasters during these months. Over time, these people would all move outside, where the living conditions were far superior to those in the base, and being far away from people meant being far away from danger.
Although all the shops in the city have been emptied, with so many buildings and residential buildings, searching one by one might yield some results.
Lin Ruo expanded his mental energy and indeed found that many well-preserved buildings had been re-inhabited.
These people collect supplies or crystals outside and take them to the base to exchange for the supplies or weapons they need. Their lives are actually much better than those in the base, although they also face greater risks.
Just then, they saw a large number of people queuing in front of three trucks. Each of the three trucks had a huge banner that read, "Qiyuan Base is recruiting strong individuals for supplies. Sign up quickly!"
