After going out for a stroll and harvesting a bunch of non-mutated poultry, Xu Qing was in a good mood and prepared a particularly sumptuous dinner.
Braised mutated wild boar, pan-fried mutated beef short ribs, fried mutated beef with three unfertilized eggs, steamed mutated wild boar feet, dry-fried mutated beef and pig liver, and three unknown meat dishes, a large bowl Variation of spinach and egg drop soup.
Eight dishes and one soup.
Shi Lingyao looked at the table full of dishes, raised his eyebrows, and went to see his mother.
I happened to see her gouging out Jing Hexuan's eyes while bringing up the last dish.
Shi Lingyao: "..."
Jing Hexuan pretended not to notice and moved forward: "Let me get the dishes and chopsticks."
Shi Zeqi knew that his wife's attitude was loose, so he stepped down the steps for him: "In the kitchen, the second cabinet below."
Lin Yan quickly caught up: "Boss, I'm coming with you!"
Li Yue politely bowed his hands to the two elders of the Shi family and said, "It's our first time meeting you, Li Yue. You came in such a hurry. I will definitely pay you a formal visit someday. I would like to express my gratitude to you two elders for taking me in."
Zhang Xing also quickly saluted gracefully.
Xu Qing just couldn't stand Jing Hexuan and would not express his anger towards others. What's more, Li Yue was very polite and had nothing to criticize.
She raised her chin: "Sit down."
Li Yue said quickly: "I don't dare, you two. Please come first."
Xu Qing was not polite and sat down by himself: "I really don't understand what you kids are thinking. If you don't do good things, you come here to live in Taoyuan City."
Zhang Xingke has something to say about this.
He answered sincerely: "You don't know something about this! Our brothers have traveled all over the world since the end of the world, and they have passed through dozens of new cities and villages, if not hundreds, but none of them can compare with this Taoyuan." City!"
Xu Qing's expression softened as his city was praised.
Zhang Xing really thought Taoyuan City was great and kept talking: "Under this natural disaster, let alone humans, if you can live in a place like Taoyuan City, what's wrong with being a zombie? What's more, there are zombies in Taoyuan City." His characteristics are no worse than those of humans. Anyway, I really want to live in Taoyuan City!"
The corners of Xu Qing's mouth moved, but he still smiled a little.
Shi Lingyao cursed: These people are really good at coaxing people.
But it would be great if they could handle their own Dr. Xu. She didn’t want to have her ears twisted!
A dinner where the guest and the host enjoy themselves.
Taoyuan City is gradually getting back on track. In addition to daily training and city patrols, what everyone is most concerned about is whether the hens raised by Aunt Zhang have laid eggs and whether the eggs have hatched chicks.
Until that night, an aunt came to see Shi Lingyao.
"Master Xiao Shi! The one from my house hasn't come back yet!"
With a worried look on her face, she knocked carefully on the door of Shi's house.
Xu Qing let the person in: "What's wrong? Speak slowly."
There are group outings in town every day.
Although everyone now has no worries about food, they will still go out to look for resources. The apocalyptic magicians are not short of meat, and vegetables, rice and noodles are rare.
The aunt's husband went out with the other two team members. It has been a day and he has not come back yet.
She went to the residence of the other two team members and found that no one was there. Apparently they had not come back, so she came to find Shi Lingyao.
Shi Zeqi stood up with a serious look on his face: "Our curfew time is for guarding. After that, you can't enter or leave the city gate. Who is on duty at the city gate today? Why don't you report someone who has not returned after the time limit?"
Shi Lingyao spread his thoughts and quickly notified the city guards who were on duty today.
This guard was not a soldier, but a city citizen who joined later.
It was already the moment of great success.
When he heard that there was still someone who hadn't come back, he trembled all over: "No, not back?"
Shi Lingyao: "You ask me?"
The man immediately knelt down and explained the whole story as if he were pouring beans.
This aunt's husband said that his wife's birthday is coming soon, and he wants to go further to look for rare objects and give her gifts, so he has been coming back late recently, hoping that he can keep it a secret and give his wife a surprise then.
Before the three of them could be moved, the aunt saw a confused look on her face: "My birthday passed long ago! Did my husband-in-law say that?"
The man was confused: "Huh? Isn't your husband Tieshuan?"
Auntie: "Yes! Is this the reason why the three of them have come back recently?"
The man was even more confused: "What? There are only iron bolts! His team members have been back long ago!"
Everyone: "..."
The aunt looked devastated: "But there's no one in their house!"
The man scratched his head and said, "I think I went to play chess with Old Liu Tou. I heard them mention it the other day."
Shi Lingyuan was speechless.
Xu Qing was keenly aware that there was something fishy and said: "Gather the guards at the four gates and check! There must be someone who has not registered yet."
The aunt looked panicked.
She seemed to understand something, and her grief appeared in her forbearance.
The guards on duty today were summoned and came.
They lined up neatly and stood in the open space in the middle of Jinxiu Street. Shi Lingyao was sitting on the edge of the flower garden with a stern look on his face.
There was so much movement that Jing Hexuan and four others who were resting in Wengcheng also followed.
"What happened?"
Jing Hexuan stood next to Shi Lingyao.
Soon everyone knew what happened.
City residents Tieshuan and Widow Li failed to return from curfew and their whereabouts are unknown.
Aunt Zhang looked around, worried: "Lao Huang next door is not here either."
All the troops were divided into four groups and went out of the city to look for him from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. Shi Lingyao himself had already swept through the city in the short period of time when everyone was gathered, but no target was found.
Soon, they found Tie Shuan and Widow Li who had been disemboweled not far from the outer city in the west.
Tiezhu's wife was mentally prepared to find these two people together, but she didn't expect to see corpses or such a bloody and tragic scene.
Immediately he cried out and fainted.
In the cold wind, the citizens held torches and stood around the corpse in deathly silence.
The corpses of the two men were chewed into disfigurement, and under the light of the fire, their abdomens were clearly visible under the tattered clothes.
Those wounds, everyone struggling to survive in the apocalypse, all know that they are the marks of zombies.
Strangely, both men's brains were also shattered.
At the same time, Jing Hexuan led his troops out of the south gate of the outer city. Not far out, he heard screams in the distance.
When they arrived, they saw a group of zombies besieging a city citizen, who must be Aunt Zhang's neighbor Lao Huang.
He is being eaten alive.
The group of zombies noticed them and immediately fled into the dark night.
Jing Hexuan's figure disappeared instantly and he chased after him.
This group of zombies is very strange. They are more flexible than ordinary zombies. They are not the characteristics of known evolved zombies. Instead, their skin and flesh are torn.
After seeing it clearly, Jing Hexuan almost immediately remembered that he had met He Yuanqing's father and brother in Ningcheng before, and they turned into such monsters after eating red branches.
Someone stole Shi Lingyao's red branches?
