Chapter 177 - 177= Business
It was different now. These medicines could be used to save their own lives.
The residents carried the heavy buckets and walked back. They were extremely happy.
Ever since Ye Xingchen left without looking back, they had hated Ye Xingchen.
The next morning, when some people found out that Ye Xingchen’s house had been uprooted, some people even started to say that he was being too harsh on them and was being punished by the heavens.
They even felt that Ye Xingchen hadn’t run away, but had been taken by the heavens.
Although this statement was strange and bizarre, under such extreme weather and the atmosphere of the apocalypse, it actually became more and more intense. Everyone privately wondered what kind of punishment Ye Xingchen would receive from the heavens.
Ye Xingchen left the group, but Zhao Hao didn’t.
When they couldn’t contact Ye Xingchen, there were still many people who came to ask Zhao Hao. However, under Ye Xingchen’s guidance, Zhao Hao ignored them.
It had been a long time since they last saw Ye Xingchen. The people in the Jinghua District had slowly changed from cursing Ye Xingchen to missing him. After all, Ye Xingchen was no longer around, so they had nothing to eat.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t eaten sour meat before when food was at its most scarce, but that was during the extreme cold.
Now, let alone the sour meat, the corpses had long rotted in such hot weather.
They could not even eat them. Many people had already cut down the furniture in their homes and burned them to eat.
Now that they saw this seawater seller, they couldn’t help but cry.
Of course, when there was proper food, who would be willing to eat those messy and disgusting things?
Ye Xingchen saw on the surveillance camera that the people quickly formed a long line. In addition to the people from the Jinghua community, many people from the neighboring communities also came to line up.
Ye Xingchen couldn’t help but be surprised by the scene on the surveillance camera.
He knew that there should be many people alive in these districts, but he did not count them because he was too lazy to go to other districts to take the initiative to find trouble.
First extreme cold and then extremely hot. Ye Xingchen thought that many people had died, but after looking at the surveillance footage, there were actually many people who survived.
Ye Xingchen smacked his lips. It must have been a long time since he left the house. The safety fortress was too comfortable. There was everything here. When he was bored, he could go swimming or play basketball. However, Ye Xingchen always felt that something was missing.
In such a large place, with about thirty to forty people, it was quite lively and not bad when everyone was together. However, if everyone scattered, Ye Xingchen suddenly felt that there were too few people.
Looking at the buckets of seafood and seawater on the screen, Ye Xingchen suddenly had the urge to go to the other side of the mountain to take a look.
It wasn’t far. They just needed to go down the mountain and take a detour. Although Ye Xingchen knew that it was very hot outside, even at night, the temperature was more than 50 degrees Celsius, but he was not afraid. He had picked up a treasure when he got it for free. He had picked up a nano-level thermo outfit that others had placed in the showcase and had not had time to remove.
Ye Xingchen had also personally tested it. During the extremely cold weather, he had worn this piece of clothing several times when he went out. Therefore, every time Ye Xingchen went out, he did not look particularly bulky.
It could work in the extreme cold, but he did not know if it could maintain a constant temperature at such a high temperature.
Thinking of this, Ye Xingchen wanted to go out even more.
However, there were only three pieces of this kind of clothing in total. Ye Xingchen didn’t want to give the other two to others for no reason, not even to Zhao Hao and Mo Qi.
The thought of going out had planted a seed in Ye Xingchen’s mind. Ever since that night when the truck drove to the entrance of the Jinghua community, Ye Xingchen had watched the truck stop at the entrance of the district every night on the surveillance camera.
The people in the city were obviously eating better.
Even Ye Xingchen was starting to get curious. Even if every household had medicine in stock, there shouldn’t be so many medicines that they could use to exchange.
A week after Ye Xingchen had this doubt, Ye Xingchen heard the man driving the truck raise his horn and shout that he was collecting mutant rat meat.
“Mutant rat meat? What is that?”
Recently, Ye Xingchen has been watching the surveillance cameras in the Jinghua residential area every night to sleep. So that night, Ye Xingchen saw with his own eyes a mouse that was as big as a cat, with black and shiny fur.
“F*ck, such a big rat?!”
It was at this time that Ye Xingchen belatedly realized that some animals had also begun to mutate.
He quickly double-clicked on the screen to enlarge the surveillance image. Then, he saw that the place where the water buckets were neatly lined up now had a dense group of rats.
Ye Xingchen looked at the black mass of rats and could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
It wasn’t hard to imagine that they were obviously bringing the rat meat back to eat when food was so scarce.
However, Ye Xingchen was confused. Those hawkers were clearly carrying buckets of seafood in their cars. Why did they still collect these rats when there was seafood?
Was seafood not as delicious as rat meat?
No one in this world would do a losing business. The more Ye Xingchen thought about it, the more he felt that he had to find time to go out. He had to go to the seaside to take a good look. He felt that he had been out of touch with the outside world after staying in the safety fortress for a while.
The idea came at night, and the action was taken the next night.
This time, Ye Xingchen brought Zhao Hao, Mo Qi, and Qin Tianming with him, leaving Little Black at home to accompany Lin Sijia.
He took out a brand new million-yuan mountain SUV. Zhao Hao’s eyes were wide open with amazement.
Zhao Hao didn’t know that Ye Xingchen had such a good thing. He thought that the snowmobile was Ye Xingchen’s biggest trump card.
-Brother Zhao, you know how to drive, right? If you know how to do it, you can drive it.”
Ye Xingchen opened the door of the back seat very naturally and then sat in with Mo Qi-
Although he loved cars, he had no intention of driving himself.
If he had a choice, Ye Xingchen would never expose his back to others.
Each of them wore a bulletproof vest, and the four of them went down the mountain in the darkness..
