Ye An

Chapter 202 New Trouble

The heavy rain lasted all day, and towards the evening, the rain finally began to decrease.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Weng personally led people to strengthen the iron chains on the cars so that the cars were connected to each other, so that no single car would be washed away by the flood mixed with mud.

Birds came in the rain and hovered over the convoy, singing joyfully.

Ye An leaned out of the car window, waved to the flock of birds above, and called them to come down and temporarily take shelter from the rain on the vehicle carrying the goods, and set off after the night passed and dawn.

The rain increased at midnight and the flood level surged again.Fortunately, the location of the convoy was good, no vehicles were flooded, and no cargo was lost.

At dawn, the team members woke up one after another. The night watchman yawned and took turns, patted his replacement on the shoulder, turned his head and fell on the chair covered with animal skins, and started snoring quickly.

Flocks of birds flew out of the carport and flapped their wings through the rain, like a mass of red flames burning in the gray clouds.

The turtle did not go with him, separated from Ye An, and continued down the river to search for escaped jellyfish.

Ye An poked his head out of the car window and waved at the sea turtle that was gradually moving away.

The two young turtles lay on the backs of the adult turtles, stretched their necks, imitated Ye An's way and raised their forelimbs, their appearance was both cute and funny.

Ye An once assimilated with the sea turtles, as long as the sea turtles do not leave the delta, they can maintain contact with each other.In case the jellyfish swarm surrounded the isolated island again, they would naturally be able to ask for help from the sea turtles. There was no need to worry about the island being besieged, but there was nothing they could do.

The convoy crossed the river, splitting the torrent all the way, and the sound of the roaring engine startled the fish in the water.

The mutated fish jumped out of the water one after another, drawing silver arcs with splashing water.Some mutated fish swung their tails and hit the car body directly, making dull noises.

The team members opened the car windows and became excited immediately when they discovered this situation.

Everyone selected their positions, and the specially-made bows and arrows protruded from the window and the roof of the car, aiming at the mutant fish with barbed arrows.The sound of string control sounded one after another, and one after another the mutated fish were pierced by the bow and arrow, fell into the water, and were dragged to the car by the rope tied to the tail of the arrow.

The mutated fish had strong vitality, and when it was dragged out of the water, it still writhed and struggled, kicking up a large cloud of muddy mud.

After traveling less than [-] meters, the convoy had already harvested a lot, and nearly [-] mutant fish were caught.

Feeling that it was almost the same, the team members took the initiative to stop, dropped the metal plate blocking the window, put down the hasp, and then closed the window.In this way, even if the mutated fish hits the car window and encounters a metal plate blocking it, it cannot damage the glass inlaid on the window.

There is a lot of space in the compartment, and there are special stoves and cooking utensils, which can be used for frying and roasting as well as stewing.

The harvested mutated fish is quickly cleaned up, chopped into several sections on the cutting board, partly roasted on the fire, sprinkled with salt and special seasonings; partly stewed in a pot, adding sweet plant tubers, steaming , the fish rolls, the soup gradually changes color and emits a strong aroma.

The convoy was driving in the water, and large splashes were splashed on both sides, with a height of more than one meter.The body is quite stable, with no bumps throughout.The fish soup was close to the edge of the pot, but it still didn't shake and spill out.

Zhao Weng picked up a long-handled wooden spoon, scooped up half a spoonful of fish soup, put it into a bowl, brought the bowl to his mouth, and blew it. After tasting the taste, he found it a bit bland, so he added salt and a little chopped fish soup to the pot. Crushed plants, sprinkled with crushed pepper-like granules.

Ye An took the initiative to take over the job of grilling the fish. The handle of the rotatable frame on the stove rotated the fish body intermittently so that the fish segments could be evenly heated.

When the edge of the fish skin rolled up and smelled burnt, Ye An picked up the wooden box that Zhao Weng handed over, quickly sprinkled salt and seasonings, let it stand for a while and continued to rotate, the aroma instantly increased a lot.

Grease floated on the surface of the fish section and dripped into the fire, making a crisp popping sound.The grilled fish exudes heat, and the surface is covered with seasoning, making the color more attractive.

The fish soup was rolled three times and the fish meat was already cooked.

Zhao Weng opened a jar, scooped out a few pieces of trembling paste, sliced ​​it with a dagger and put it into the soup.The paste rolls in the soup and floats after solidification. The color and shape are like tofu, but I don’t know how it tastes.

It was the first time Ye An saw this kind of food when he came to this world, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

Zhao Weng scooped up a bowl of fish soup, asked Ye An, and didn't add any more chopped mutated plants to it. He scooped up a few pieces of tofu and a piece of fish, and handed the soup bowl to Ye An.

"The raw material of this food is soybeans. It is not difficult to make, but the process is a bit cumbersome. The taste is very good, try it."

Zhao Weng put down the soup bowl and introduced the team's unique ingredients to Ye An.

Although he said it easily, due to the materials needed to make tofu, few other caravans tried to get a share.Most cities and settlements do not have specialized workshops, and the fleet almost takes over the business.

Also due to the limitation of raw materials and storage methods, the team does not produce many finished products, some of which are eaten by themselves, and some are sold in trade areas, and only in the rainy season.

"It's a little cumbersome to store, and it will turn sour after a long time, so it's not suitable for re-eating."

After the catastrophe, during the most difficult period, those who survived would not let go of anything that could be imported.

As time passed, cities and settlements were established one after another, and the residents in these places had a stable life. Unless they had to, they rarely touched carrion and spoiled food.

Even the homeless, as long as conditions permit, will try their best to obtain fresh food.In case of illness due to food, they have limited access to medicines, and they can only wait to die if they can't make it through.

Zhao Weng scooped up several bowls of fish soup one after another and distributed them to the men and children in the car.

Ye An took the grilled fish pieces off the rack and put them on a plate for Zhao Weng to divide.He picked up the soup bowl by himself, blew on the milky white soup, and took a few mouthfuls of it warmly. The heat rose from his stomach, and his whole body became warm.

The fish meat has been stewed for a long time, and the meat is still very elastic and not loose. It is very enjoyable to eat.

Ye An ate two pieces of fish, drank half a bowl of fish soup, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth.As Zhao Weng said, the taste is quite good, even more attractive to him than fish.

After eating the whole bowl of fish soup, Zhao Weng handed over the sliced ​​grilled fish, with steaming wheat cakes beside the fish.

Following Zhao Weng's example, Ye An rolled up the fish with wheat cake and brushed it with special sauce.Bite down, the aroma explodes instantly, soaking the taste buds.Transparent grease overflowed the corners of his mouth and covered his lips, stained with the unique spicy taste of the sauce, making Ye An involuntarily inhale.

There is no lack of spicy seasoning on the island, but it is far inferior to the sauce that Zhao Weng took out.

Seeing Ye An's appearance, Zhao Weng couldn't help laughing, pointed to the wooden box piled aside, and said: "To make this kind of hot sauce, you need several special plants, and given the conditions on the island, it should be possible to grow them. "

The implication is that if Ye An is interested, he can donate plant seeds as a reward for Ye An's rescue team.

The guests and host enjoyed the meal, and the fish soup at the bottom of the pot was scraped clean by the children.

The man driving saw the isolated island and immediately informed Zhao Weng.

Ye An and Zhao Weng walked to the window together, seeing the island in front of them, they were a little excited for a while.

"accelerate."

After Zhao Weng's voice fell, the man stepped on the accelerator heavily, the engine roared, and the iron chains hanging between the vehicles stretched instantly.

The convoy broke through the torrent and headed towards the isolated island against the surging flood.

As the distance gradually approached, Ye An could already see the camp on the edge of the island and the fires in the camp.

However, as the flame flickered, Ye An gradually realized that something was wrong. There seemed to be trouble in the camp.

Under the light of the fire, the wooden fence and the ground outside the camp were crowded with black shadows, and above the fence was full of people, each holding a long knife and stick in their hands, and they were constantly picking up the black shadows that had climbed the fence.

"That's lungfish." Zhao Weng said.

"Lungfish?" Ye An turned his head.

"A very troublesome mutant fish." Zhao Weng explained the habits of the lungfish, especially their strong vitality, "These fish eat almost anything. As long as one or two survive, the fish school will not become extinct."

Knowing that Zhao Weng wouldn't exaggerate, Ye An looked at the camp in front of him again, and he glanced away briefly, his expression became serious again.

At the same time, Xiao Yun, who was caught in the vortex, finally escaped from the darkness, broke free from the terrifying suction, and returned to the surface of the water.

Looking up, the surroundings are full of rushing torrents, the Hunter City is nowhere to be seen, and there is no reference to determine the location.

The sky was getting darker, and lightning gathered behind the clouds.

Standing on the icicle, Xiao Yun noticed fluorescent light appearing on the river surface in the distance.

The fluorescent light floats, accompanied by the swaying water waves, forming a gorgeous light band.The band of light approached quickly, and it was a large piece of entangled jellyfish.
