Chapter 143 Flour (33)
"Who dares to make trouble? Do you think there is no one in this community watching us? There are a lot of people. So the fact that the two of us took care of more than 30 people last time has already spread in the community. More than 30 people can't do anything to us. Do you think these people dare to do anything?" Ling Jiang couldn't help but sneer. Don't think that she stayed at home in vain during the week they went to the industrial park to get supplies. She did find out a lot of information, but it was not that important, so she didn't mention it.
As for the last incident, her Lan Jin and the other person, oh, and their dog, have already become the devil in this area. Who wouldn't be afraid of them when seeing them?
So, it’s not that no one came to cause trouble, it’s just that no one dared to come and cause trouble.
But for Lan Jin, this is actually a good thing. "As long as I can live a peaceful life, why should I bother with so many things?"
…
With so many supplies at home, it would be safer to leave someone behind. Lao Gao volunteered to stay at home to take care of the supplies while studying equipment that could generate electricity for four people, while Huang Jinghe chose to accompany them out for a walk.
Speaking of the market, Huang Jinghe really wanted to get close to the people there. He wanted to see if he could get in touch with his parents through them.
Although the chances are slim, who knows if it will work if you don't try?
Besides, it's impossible for Lan Jin to go out alone. She also has to bring her children and dog with her, so it's really lively when a group of people go out.
But the most lively person was Nana, who was walking at the front of the group. She was so heroic and confident, as if she was going to lead them out for a fight. Lan Jin wanted to laugh when she saw her. "Nana, we're just going to the market. Don't act like we're going to a fight. It's scary."
But speaking of horror, just taking Nana as an example, after experiencing just over a month of extreme cold, the hair on Nana's body seemed to be much harder than last time. Although it didn't prickly to touch, it was obviously different from before, as if it was a gradual mutation in order to survive the extreme cold.
Lan Jin asked doubtfully, "Could it be that my Nana has mutated? Look at her fur, it looks like it's designed to withstand extreme cold."
If this is the case, I'm afraid this extreme cold will not last long.
Moreover, if Nana has begun to mutate, does it mean that other surviving animals have also mutated at this time?
"Sister Lan, are you talking about rats and cockroaches? It's true that these creatures have strong survival abilities, and it's normal for them to mutate in order to survive." Huang Jinghe sensed something was amiss. "Sister Lan, are you thinking about whether this will cause a widespread infestation, just like the previous insect plague?"
"Yes, rats and cockroaches are naturally very tenacious. If they survive and reproduce, who knows what kind of harm they might cause to humans. Of course, maybe I'm just worrying too much. After all, I've read too many apocalyptic novels, and I'm always worried about this and that."
Ling Jiang, however, was unconcerned. "I've certainly heard people talk about the end of the world a long time ago, but we've only had natural disasters. No matter what happens, as long as we can hold on, we won't die. You don't know how many times I've been thankful there aren't zombies in this world. If there were natural disasters and zombies too... then whether we'd mutate or not, and whether we could survive would be a problem."
"Natural disaster plus zombies, you can think of it."
Lan Jin couldn't even imagine this kind of combination. Natural disasters were already difficult, and with zombies added to the mix, did God want to destroy humanity and start over again?
But even so, this is not how it is played.
Huang Jinghe smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Ling, please stop talking. It's too scary."
Ran Qiaoqiao asked curiously: "Brother Huang, what are zombies?"
"Uh." Huang Jinghe thought for a moment and said, "It's a creature whose cry is even scarier than Nana's. If you get bit by it, you'll be infected, and then you'll develop the same symptoms as it and bite people everywhere. So if you see a zombie, remember to stay away from it."
Ran Qiaoqiao asked: "If we meet it, can Qiaoqiao fight it?"
"Of course you can fight if you want to, but I think it's better for you to hide."
Just as Ran Qiaoqiao was thinking seriously, they finally saw the shadow of the market.
But today seems a little different. From a distance, a certain place in the market seems to be particularly lively, and almost everyone gathers there.
Ling Jiang loved to join in the fun, so after seeing this, she immediately said, "Hey, what are you doing? Let's go over and take a look."
As they got closer to the market, they could smell an unknown foul odor in the air. Lan Jin asked, "What's that smell? It's so foul."
It was so smelly that her dog didn't want to move forward and kept covering its nose with its front paws, feeling very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Nana didn't move, Ling Jiang said, "Then you guys wait here. I'll go over and take a look. It's so lively over there, there must be something good."
"Okay, we'll wait for you here."
Huang Jinghe was a little worried, so he followed Ling Jiang to take a look. However, he hadn't seen such a lively Lan Qiaoqiao for a long time, so he wanted to join in the fun. "Mom, let's go take a look too."
"Let's not go. Nana is feeling very uncomfortable. If you want to know, they will definitely tell us when they come back."
“It’s different.”
How can the result told to her by others after they join in the fun be the same as the result she sees if she joins in the fun herself?
But even so, Lan Jin couldn't take the little one over there. "Even if Nana could go through, you're still so young and I can't take you in. There are so many people over there. What if you get hurt? So you just have to wait patiently."
Seeing the hustle and bustle inside, Ling Jiang soon rushed out from the crowd. At this moment, she looked a little excited. "Lan Jin, there is someone pushing a cart over here selling flour. I took a look and it is indeed flour, but it looks a bit strange."
Lan Jin asked, "Why is it strange?"
"That flour isn't white, it's quite yellow, and it smells really bad, but it's edible once it's cooked. They've built a stove and are making it right there. You can buy flour or try the finished pancakes. It's not particularly expensive, and you can pay with contribution points or exchange them for supplies. I just saw someone buy a pack of instant noodles for a pound of flour."
No matter how sparingly you eat a packet of instant noodles, it can only last for one day at most. But it is different for a pound of flour. If you add some water, it can last for several days. If you really calculate it, it is not very cost-effective, so it makes sense that so many people gather around it.
But this taste...
Nana obviously couldn't stand it, and Lan Jin didn't feel comfortable buying it. Besides, she had so much food in her space, so there was really no need to buy this flour of unknown origin. What if something bad happened after eating it?
