In the past, the seafood served on the New Year's Eve dinner table was freshly steamed lobster and king crab, but this year it was an ordinary but extraordinary seafood pot.
It used to be absolutely ordinary. When would I not be able to eat the ingredients in the pot? But now it has become an out-of-print version of eating one meal and missing one meal.
Xu Yin felt sad.
But she was very content, at least she had stocked up on so many ingredients. Many families, who couldn't get together an authentic seafood pot during the Chinese New Year, had to make do with instant noodles, vermicelli, ham sausages, and even ham sausages.
Just as he was about to start eating, Feng Shujin came over with two full food boxes. This time he didn't climb over the wall. He rang the bell and came in from the garage.
"Happy New Year's Eve!"
What he delivered turned out to be salmon meat with fresh meat, and it was from the best part, fat but not greasy.
"Where did you get it?" Xu Yin was extremely surprised.
"Haobin's assistant went back to pick up his parents and brought them back by the way."
Xu Yin was even more puzzled: "Assistant Yao? Isn't his hometown in a mountainous area?" She had heard Song Haobin mention it.
Feng Shujin explained: "When the mutation occurred, his parents were having a wedding banquet at his cousin's house. His cousin's house was close to the sea, and the highway and national highway were paralyzed, so he went to Linghai Bridge to bypass it. He saw fishermen taking fish He exchanged the freshly caught salmon for food, and he brought back another one.”
Since the Taiyang Snow, H City has been experiencing flashes of light and rain caused by Xu Yin from time to time. It has been mostly sunny recently, but the highest temperature during the day is hovering at two or three degrees below zero. The temperature in other areas is even lower, and the outdoors is like a natural refrigerator.
After Yao Tianhao switched to salmon, he cleaned the internal organs and tied them to the top of the RV, where they froze immediately.
When I went to City H, I found that the sun was on and the car-mounted solar refrigerator was working, so I took it out and froze it in the refrigerator, so it's still fresh overall.
"But the taste is not as good as the imported ones. Now I have no other choice, so just eat it."
Xu Yin didn't expect such a delicious treat, so she immediately took it to the kitchen and cut a plate of sashimi. A little spiritual dew was added to the dipping sauce, which not only tasted more delicious, but also eliminated bacterial infection.
I fried a small piece of salmon steak for Guaibao and let him eat it by himself.
Niu Niu also got a piece, but she ate nothing but cows and peonies. After eating, she stuck out her tongue and wanted more, but Xu Yin stopped giving it.
It subconsciously wanted to raise its paws to dig at the kitchen door. Feng Shujin glanced at it with a light look, and immediately lay down. It was so good that it could be ranked on the list of "mutated animals that are well-behaved (pretending to be clever)".
Feng Shujin took advantage of the opportunity to stay at Xu's house for the New Year's Eve dinner. While eating, he talked about what Yao Special Assistant had experienced along the way:
"L city has fallen. The family of three rescued by Yao Te's assistant outside the city is said to have escaped from L city."
"L City?" Mrs. Jiang, who watched Guabao eat from time to time, listened for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Mr. Feng, are you talking about L City in Feng Province? What do you mean by "fallen"? You can't stay in the city. Are you human?"
Seeing Mrs. Jiang so excited, Xu Yin suddenly remembered that Mrs. Jiang's son's family seemed to be living in L city.
She turned to Feng Shujin and asked, "Is the entire city of L taken over by mutated animals and plants?"
"Yes." Feng Shujin said with a solemn expression, "L city has rich vegetation, and a mutant tiger king of level 9 or above appeared in the forest zoo, triggering a beast tide and capturing many residential areas. Go as a team and the whole army will be wiped out.”
"Above level nine?"
"To be precise, there should be ten levels."
"Pap..."
The chopsticks in Mrs. Jiang's hand fell to the ground.
Her eyes were red, and tears flowed down uncontrollably: "My son..."
Feng Shujin thought for a while and said, "The family of three who took Yao Te's car, I heard that their hometown is Y city, and their mother works in H city. I don't know..."
"Y City?" Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears and said, "I am from Y City."
"..."
A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Jiang saw her long-lost son in the community hall, and her three-year-old grandson, whom she had never seen before and was seeing for the first time today.
"Mom! Why are you here?" Jiang Zhichao was surprised and happy to see the rosy Mrs. Jiang.
He knew that his mother worked as a live-in nanny in H City, but the nanny industry was not a pleasant one to talk about. So when people asked, he only said that he worked in H City and had not retired yet, and did not mention the word "nanny" at all.
The reason why I went through all the trouble to come to H City this time was mainly because I heard on the radio that the management of H City is very good. Although the water and electricity were stopped, many communities installed solar generators just before the end of the world. Recently, the sunshine in H City It is bright and sunny, and the solar power generation is very powerful; in terms of water use, it rains every ten days and a half, the rainfall is abundant, and there are also geothermal springs. It can be said that it is the most desirable and livable city in the apocalypse.
Thinking that his mother seemed to be working in H City, after the fall of L City, he decisively fled to H City with his wife and children.
Speaking of which, their family of three is quite lucky.
As soon as they escaped from City L, they encountered a cross-country convoy from Province J, also headed for City H. The team was led by a person with supernatural powers. He gritted his teeth and handed over 70% of the supplies he had on him and took a ride.
At first, the journey went smoothly, but people with dangerous powers took action to deal with it.
On the contrary, when we were approaching H City, there were twists and turns.
A group of mutated wild boars came down the mountain to forage and overturned the RV. The superhuman underestimated their ability and not only failed to kill the wild boars, but also took his own life.
When the people in the car saw that the superpower was dead, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
He fled desperately with his wife and son in his arms. He was hit by mutated plants several times and encountered a group of stray dogs. He almost thought he was dead.
When he was desperate, he met a noble man again, who took the family of three to H City and sent them to the community hall to help him register and find someone.
But he was embarrassed to say that his mother was working as a nanny, and he was not sure whether she was dead or alive. Anyway, H city was pretty good. He just heard from a social worker that Oriental Property Management was hiring, and strong laborers like him could apply. The security guard, the security guard's treatment is very good, three meals a day are included, and accommodation is also provided. He and his wife were enjoying themselves, but he didn't expect that she came to find them before he did.
"Son! It's really you!" Mrs. Jiang cried with joy. She came forward with tears in her eyes. She was shocked when she saw the blood on her son's body. "Why is there blood on the clothes? Are you injured?"
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. Mom, why are you here?"
"I work nearby." Mrs. Jiang turned around and saw the baby held by her daughter-in-law, and smiled happily, "Is this Xiaobao? Xiaobao, I am grandma!"
Grandma who has never seen her grandson until he is three years old, but will send red envelopes via mobile phone on every full moon, 100th day, Chinese New Year, and every birthday!
Jiang Zhichao's daughter-in-law, Xiao Xiaoqin, subconsciously wanted to retreat. She saw that her mother-in-law's clothes were clean and her hair was not oily. It could be seen that the place where she worked must provide hot water so that she could take a bath, wash her hair and clothes... After a moment of hesitation, Nuo Luo went to the ground. Before: "Mom! It's great that you are okay! Zhichao and I are almost dying of anxiety!"
