Immortal in The Apocalypse

Tan Wei nodded and said, "That’s right. Instead of worrying about Lao Xiu, I’m more worried about Xiao Lin after hearing what she said just now. I wonder why she said that last sentence."

Hearing this, Ji Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Don’t worry too much, or you will be bald before you are thirty."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tan Wei to say anything else, he walked quickly to the kitchen. When Tan Wei realized that Ji Yang was laughing at him again, it was only him and Tu Tu there.

He looked at Tu Tu and asked, "Tu Tu, don’t you think it’s too miserable for me to have such a friend?"

Tu Tu rolled its eyes and thought: ’That’s because you are too easy to bully.’

Thinking of this, Tu Tu took a look at Tan Wei and sighed. The rabbit jumped off the old sofa, patted his leg a few times, and then hopped towards the kitchen. Looking at the little rabbit, Tan Wei’s mood improved, and he walked quickly to the kitchen.

When Tan Wei sat down around the dining table, he saw that all the dishes were vegetables. He picked up his chopsticks and bowl, sighed sadly, and said, "We haven’t eaten meat for more than three months."

Hearing his words, Ji Yang shook his head and said, "You should be thankful that we can eat vegetables right now. If it wasn’t for Xiao Lin, let alone meat. You wouldn’t even see green vegetables for several years."

Zhu Lin sat beside Xiu Wu, looked at Tan Wei and asked, "Why can’t you eat meat?"

Xiu Wu picked up a piece of white radish, put it in Zhu Lin’s bowl, and said, "Because most of the animals have turned into mutated animals or zombies. Since the electricity is also hard to come by, all frozen meat already rotted a long time ago. Also, after the apocalypse, the weather is getting hotter by the day. In our current situation, even if there is meat in the market, it will rot after a few hours."

After he said this, Zhu Lin looked at Tu Tu and saw that the rabbit also looked at her in confusion.

[Master, don’t they know that the meat of mutant beasts is edible?] Tu Tu asked after a moment of silence.

Zhu Lin looked at the three people who were eating very quickly, and said, [I think so. How about we ask them directly?]

Tu Tu thought for a while, and said, [Um. If they knew that the meat of the mutant beasts could be eaten, then the food problem could be solved by themselves. At that time, you don’t have to worry about humans starving to death. As long as they are willing to work, they should be able to survive.]

Zhu Lin nodded and said, [Mhm. You are right. Let’s tell them about it then.]

After making a decision, she looked at them and said, "Actually, I still have some fresh meat on me."

Saying that, she took out a large piece of giant snake’s meat from the ice flower pendant. The moment the fresh meat appeared on the table, Tan Wei’s eyes lit up.

Pointing at the piece of meat, he asked in delight: "Xiao Lin, where did you get this meat? It looks very fresh. It must be delicious if we roast it."

Thinking of the taste of grilled snake meat roasted by Tu Tu, Zhu Lin nodded in agreement and said, "Mhm. It’s not bad."

While Tan Wei was happily inspecting the giant snake’s meat, Xiu Wu looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "What kind of meat is this? Where did you get it?"

Zhu Lin turned to look at him and said, "I picked the meat of a mutated giant snake in the forest. It tastes alright and contains spiritual energy."

As soon as she said this, the three of them looked at her in surprise. Ji Yang stared at Zhu Lin and asked, "Xiao Lin, how could you just pick the meat in the forest? Besides, have you really eaten the meat of mutant beasts? Are you not poisoned after eating it?"

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "I’m fine after eating the meat. Since the meat of the mutant beast contains spiritual energy, eating mutated beasts and mutant plants is actually more beneficial than absorbing crystal nucleus, because their edible parts don’t contain devil energy. For the three of you, it is safer than absorbing the crystal nucleus."

Listening to her answer, Xiu Wu thought for a while, put down his chopsticks and bowl, and said, "Since Xiao Lin has already tried it, then let’s try it too. If we can eat the meat of mutant beasts and edible parts of the mutant plants, then we can solve the problem of food shortage, and obtain a safer source of spiritual energy to enhance our abilities at the same time."

After speaking, he picked up the giant snake’s meat and walked towards the kitchen. When Xiu Wu was busy cooking the meat, Ji Yang looked at Zhu Lin and asked curiously: "Xiao Lin, how do you know that we can eat the meat of mutant beasts?"

Zhu Lin looked at him and said calmly: "I can see the energy flow of all things, so I know which part contains spiritual energy and which part contains devil energy."

Since she was the one who taught them how to absorb the crystal nucleus, it was indeed possible for Zhu Lin to detect the spiritual energy from the meat of the mutant beasts.

Seeing him lost in thought, Zhu Lin said, "Yesterday, the commander of this base came to visit me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiu Wu turned to look at her and asked, "What is he looking for you for? Is he here to force you to work for him?"

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "He came to buy water and food from me."
