Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

After Gu Tongwan opened the post, he scrolled to the comment section at the end. The comment section was indeed bustling with activity.

[Such a big fish head would be so delicious if it were made into chopped pepper fish head. ]

[The above poster is really not picky about food. This is a man-eating fish. It is not an exaggeration to call it a piranha. It makes me sick just thinking about it.]

[If people are really pushed into a desperate situation, they will eat anything. I even ate monkey meat in the early days of the apocalypse. Has anyone else eaten it? ]

[Then I dare not eat it... After all, it is a primate. I have only eaten mutant rats from the sewers and wild cat meat. The taste is hard to describe. If it is not for survival, I would rather die than eat it. ]

[I have eaten meat from an unknown creature. Our team caught it in the mountains. It tasted a bit like chicken, but it looked like a sheep. I had to prepare myself mentally before eating it, but it was actually okay. I can eat anything when I’m hungry.]

[How much does this black fish weigh? It looks like it weighs more than a ton, probably about the same as a killer whale? ]

[I think the head of this car is more than four meters long, and the highest point is estimated to be six meters long, which is longer than the small Alto in my house.]

[Isn't this the general forum of the homeless base camp? Can any local friends tell me what happened this afternoon? ]

[Just as shown in the picture, a mutant black fish came out of the Fairy Lake Girl. ]

[I am from the camp, and I was born in the village where Fairy Lake was originally located. This lake has been there since I was born. I heard from the elders in my family that before liberation, this place was used for some kind of sacrifice, I think it was for the river god. After the 1970s and 1980s, it was gradually stopped. But the lake is very weird. Several people die every year, and they are all young girls.]

[Why do I feel like this is feudal superstition? In ancient times or during the Republic of China, it seems that many feudal villages had rituals to worship the river gods? And they even sacrificed living people. In fact, it was just those witches who wanted to make a lot of money to fool the villagers, or it was just a bad custom that has been left over in this village. So far, this sacrificial ritual has killed countless innocent people. ]

[In fact, not all sacrifices to river gods involve human sacrifices. Some places still retain this traditional custom, using cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock as substitutes. Only some tribes or villages offer human sacrifices.]

[Why did I hear that there is something under Fairy Lake? Isn't it said that this lake is full of flowing water, and the bottom of the lake leads to the mountains next to it? If so, are there more mutant black fish? ]

[I heard that the base wants to send a survey team to check the situation in Fairy Lake, but I feel that the Wanderer Base Camp may not agree? After all, they are two different organizations, and the Wanderers are not under the control of the base. ]

[I definitely can't agree to this. Who knows how many of these things there are in the lake? It's dangerous, but you have to be careful to be rich. You have to know that mutant creatures mean they have crystal cores, right? ]

[Oh no, are the people at the base going to be jealous? ]

[They may not be jealous. When the dungeon was developed, a group of mutant creatures were suppressed. Every year when the beasts are in great numbers, there are advance troops to suppress them. Unless it is a rare crystal core, there is no need for the base to covet a medium-sized wanderer base. ]

[I am also from this wanderer base. I was there in the afternoon. Those mutant black fish were really fierce. I was lucky. My neighbor was unlucky. His little finger was bitten off. I will send you a picture. The teeth of these black fish are really strong. 】【Picture】

A picture of a black fish that is obviously dead. Someone opened the fish's mouth and you can clearly see that it is filled with densely packed fine teeth.

[Damn, brother, this photo of yours is really fierce. I have intensive phobia when I see these teeth. I get goose bumps all over my body.]

[This fish looks pretty thick. It must be about ten pounds, right? ]

[We also have this kind of black fish in our camp, it is also a mutation, but not that big. I killed one before, it had two rows of teeth, and the fish meat was very fishy. Our chef used it to make sashimi before, and I almost passed out after taking a bite.]

[Big brother upstairs, you are really brave to eat this. This fish is very fishy. If you don’t stew it with spices, you can’t eat it at all. ]

[I also have black fish here. I am from Hongcheng. The black fish here must have mutated. One fish weighs more than 20 kilograms, but it does not have two rows of teeth. My uncle brought one to me a while ago. We stewed it with soybeans. It tasted very fragrant and the meat was good.]

[The mutant black fish with two rows of teeth cannot be eaten, but the normal one with one row of teeth can be eaten. I have eaten both, so I suggest that you do not eat the mutants with more than two rows of teeth, otherwise it will be like rat meat. ]

Xiaoli read the comments quickly, and thinking of the few black fish that were brought back in the kitchen, she asked, "Are the ones we brought back edible?"

"It's edible. The ones we brought back have normal teeth. I've checked them." Gu Tongwan took the fish back after she discovered that there were no two rows of teeth in the fish's mouth. However, there were quite a few onlookers at the scene at the time who were scrambling to take the mutated black fish that flew to the shore home, but in fact, those were the ones that were inedible. However, she did not expect that Liao Yunyun and Xiaoli actually brought back a few of the black fish that Yan Fan had caught before.

"Then I feel relieved. I was worried that if the fish couldn't be eaten, our efforts would be in vain."

Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down.

The house was not that cold at this time, and the walls even felt a little warm. The Cai family was very willing to burn charcoal. Gu Tongwan thought that including their two rooms, the Cai family would need to heat at least four rooms, not to mention the living room during the day. This would mean that they would not be able to survive without dozens of kilograms of charcoal a day.

Maybe because they were sleeping in an unfamiliar environment, the girls kept checking their phones until almost twelve o'clock before falling asleep. During that time, they could hear Xiaoli turning over on the opposite side.

Gu Tongwan got up around six in the morning of the next day. At this time, Xiaoli and Liao Yunyun, who often stayed up late, were still snoring in bed, sleeping soundly. On the contrary, Lan Cen heard the noise and got up too when Gu Tongwan got up.

"Sister Wanwan, are you going out?" The lights in the room were not on, but Lan Cen's grape-like eyes were full of curiosity.

"Well, I've had enough sleep and I want to go out and take a look. The air will be better in the morning."

Lan Cen thought for a moment before asking, "Can I go with you?"

Gu Tongwan smiled and nodded, then said softly: "Then let's get up, let's go wash up, and then I'll see if I can find something to eat in the kitchen, and then we'll go out after we finish eating."

After all, Lan Cen had been wandering outside for several years, so he was quite efficient in his work. When he heard that he had to go out, he immediately washed himself and wore yesterday's coat, a dark blue cotton-padded jacket. This jacket was a birthday gift bought for Lan Cen by the boss's wife before the Chinese New Year. Although it was a second-hand coat, it seemed to contain some goose down, so it was very warm to wear. It also looked to be about new, and was both dirt-resistant and practical.

As soon as they opened the door, the two dogs lying outside the door immediately raised their bodies, wagging their tails and surrounding Gu Tongwan.

Fortunately, before leaving for this trip, I put the two dogs into the space to eat the mutant animals that had been stored before, so this time the two dogs didn't ask for extra food.

Now the two dogs eat at least several hundred kilograms of meat in one meal, but they can go four or five days without eating after one meal, which is a bit similar to the principle that snakes eat before winter to store heat in their bodies. But the only difference is that the two dogs do not need to hibernate.

The two dogs probably sensed that Gu Tongwan was going out, so they kept following her.

It was still basically dark outside at six o'clock in the morning, but it was not snowing anymore. After Gu Tongwan brought Lan Cen to the kitchen, they saw the vegetables and some eggs they brought yesterday placed in a corner of the kitchen.

She was very comfortable using the rural earthen stove, thanks to having lived in Xiaoxi Village for more than half a year and having gotten used to village life. Whether it was working in the fields or using the earthen stove to make a fire, she was basically already familiar with it.

Fortunately, the Cai family has two stoves, one for cooking and the other for frying. There are a lot of firewood, dry corn leaves and corn cobs for starting a fire piled on the ground. In rural areas, these two are often used to start a fire and help combustion.

Some yellow millet was put in one of the big pots and slowly boiled, and ten eggs were fried on the other stove. She also brought a lot of pickled mustard tubers this time, which she tried to pickle herself. Although the taste was not as good as the packaged ones, it was not too bad. In addition to these, she also brought twenty of each of the meat buns, steamed buns, and flower rolls that she had stored in the space before.

After the fried eggs were ready, I took out five steamed buns, five steamed buns and ten bean buns and put them on the steamer. By the time the buns were steamed, the millet porridge was almost ready.

Around 6:40, Cai's mother came to the kitchen. When she saw Gu Tongwan and Lan Cen in the kitchen, she was surprised and asked hurriedly, "Kids, why are you up so soon? Didn't you get some more sleep?"

"Auntie, we are all used to getting up early." Gu Tongwan replied with a smile.

Cai's mother saw the porridge and buns in the pot, and quickly pulled the two aside. She said embarrassedly: "You guys sleep a little longer tomorrow, and you don't have to get up so early to prepare breakfast. I'll do it."

"Auntie, it's okay with us. We made this together because we were hungry and wanted to eat."

The more Cai's mother looked at the two girls, the more she liked them. It was a pity that Gu Tongwan already had a boyfriend, otherwise Cai's mother would really like to let her son Cai Xing meet him.

Putting aside the thoughts in her mind for the time being, Cai's mother temporarily sent the two of them to the living room. The fireplace in the living room had just been turned back on to heat the room, so the temperature was very low. The two of them, who had just worked in the kitchen and were sweating, immediately shivered because of the cold.

At this time, they were the only two people who got up. At about seven o'clock, Father Cai came out from the back room and was surprised to see the two of them. He probably didn't expect that there was someone in the living room.

Perhaps because the little girl was feeling a little uncomfortable, Father Cai said a few words to the two of them and went back to the room. When he came out again, he had changed his clothes and immediately went to the kitchen.

The two of them sat in the living room watching the TV that Cai's mother had turned on in advance. The channel playing was actually the same channel as the base. They didn't expect to be able to receive the satellite channel set up by the base in the homeless camp.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside. Originally, I thought it was Cai's mother coming out of the kitchen, but unexpectedly it was Chen Yanxi who was dressed in tight clothes. He was not wearing a coat, but a tight-fitting long shirt and trousers and a pair of short boots that were convenient for exercise. The frost on the side of his waist was still very eye-catching. In such a cold weather outside, there was still hot sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had just come back from exercise.

Moreover, he has a slender figure with very good proportions. Such close-fitting clothes make his long legs look particularly obvious. This man's body shape is already extremely perfect. It can be said that there is not a single flaw to be found from head to toe. Perhaps this is why he gives people a sense of distance.

"What time will you be leaving?" Gu Tongwan turned around, went to the room, got his towel and handed it over.

"Half past four."

"That's indeed quite early. Will Yan Fan join you?" Because Yan Fan also had the habit of getting up early to exercise, and the two of them were living in the same room, Gu Tongwan didn't think that Yan Fan would sleep in the room.

"Well, but he wants to practice for a while longer. This kid is very hardworking and talented, but he is a little impatient at the moment. It would be better if he could calm down." Unexpectedly, Chen Yanxi pointed out Yan Fan's current problems so directly.

"Are you guys going out later?" Chen Yanxi glanced at Lan Cen, who seemed to be concentrating on watching TV but was actually a little restless.

Gu Tongwan just raised his eyebrows: "No?"

"Go out of the yard and walk east for about 500 meters. There is a tower over there. You can go up to the tower and have a look. From up there you can see the locations of all parts of the camp."

At this time, Cai's mother took out breakfast from the kitchen. Although the others had not gotten up yet, because the two of them were in a hurry to go out, they ate breakfast hurriedly and went out of the yard as soon as it was light.

As soon as I went out, I felt that the air here was fresher than at the base, probably because there were ridges of fields all around. There was even some smell of plants in the air.

Because it hadn't snowed for a few days, the snow outside melted a little in the middle of the night. The two walked slowly so that they could slowly enjoy the surrounding scenery.

"Sister Wanwan, is that the tower?" Lan Cen pointed at an ancient tower in front of him that was about six or seven stories high and shouted in surprise.

I didn't expect that there would be such an ancient tower here in the base camp. It was probably built specifically to worship some gods. Anyway, it looks like it has been there for quite a long time.

The tower was not locked, so the two went in directly. However, the tower was much taller than it looked. When they climbed to the top floor of the tower, they were both a little out of breath. But when they looked out the window, they immediately noticed strange crushing marks on the nearby field ridges.
