Chapter 37: Spirulina and Cockroach Sauce
The biting cold wind carried a large amount of radioactive dust across the rooftops, and the muzzles of the anti-aircraft rapid-fire guns pointed far away at the gloomy sky.
Zhuang Yichen and Qi Han sat side by side on the roof of the building, watching the dim and gray sun in the sky slowly sink westward, and watching the heavy night cover the sky again.
"Well, and then what?"
Zhuang Yichen took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, and then flicked it lightly, and the cigarette butt crossed a bright arc, tumbling and flying downstairs, ending this long conversation.
"Then I'll be in Kyoto, and then I'll be sitting here with you."
Qi Han smiled shallowly and did not speak. When Zhuang Yichen told her all her experiences after returning to the Dawn Camp just now, she didn't say anything, just listened attentively.
"Alright, it's all over. Now, we're colleagues. ”
Zhuang Yichen nodded. Qi Han is also a member of the Seven Team Dragon Group, but he is just the logistics support force of the Seven Teams. It is precisely because of this that Zhuang Yichen was able to meet her when they were on a rescue mission.
At the beginning, Qi Han received an urgent task, and Zhuang Yichen was separated from the alternate airport in Sichuan and Shu. At that time, the military research institute had already made some new discoveries about this apocalyptic catastrophe, but before it could be verified, the undead immediately launched a full-scale offensive.
Qi Han fought with the seven teams all the way, and finally retreated to Kyoto. And Liu Wenhao, the captain who was on the mission together at that time, died on the way to retreat.
By the time the two of them had finished talking about each other's experiences, it was completely dark. It's just that after a short year of separation, they met again, but they were no longer human.
didn't have time to sigh, Qi Han was about to return to the team. Zhuang Yichen only inquired about the detailed address of her camp, then said goodbye to her and returned to her apartment.
The officer's apartment where he lived belonged to the barracks of the ground defense forces in Kyoto, and was inhabited by mid- and high-ranking officers and service personnel. Eating here is a unified large cafeteria.
When Zhuang Yichen went back, it happened to be a meal, although the cafeteria was crowded, but it was orderly, except for the occasional whispered conversation, it was quiet and even the sound of chopsticks and dinner plates colliding.
Here, Zhuang Yichen finally got a taste of the food in Kyoto. The food served here is neither rice nor potatoes. When the sun is obscured by the black fog, these crops are no longer able to grow.
Throughout Kyoto, the staple food of all people is artificially cultivated spirulina. And meat, only cockroach sauce. That's right, when Zhuang Yichen saw the two black things on the plate, he was completely stunned.
Spirulina is a dark green, mashed potato stuff that is processed from the dried powder of spirulina directly mixed with water.
Spirulina is very nutritious, and this kind of thing has been popular all over the world before the end of the world, and it is a very popular health food. Spirulina contains more than 60% protein and a variety of amino acids. After the end of the world, when humanity lost all its food crops, it became the only staple food that could be mass-produced.
In Kyoto, there is an underground spirulina cultivation base that covers thousands of hectares. The electricity generated by the nuclear power plant provides basic food for more than 30 million people in Kyoto.
And cockroach sauce, not to mention it. The rich nutrition of the cockroach itself is not inferior to that of beef, coupled with the reproduction ability and adaptability of this biological horror, in the cockroach cultivation base underground in Kyoto, hundreds of millions of cockroaches are transported out of it every day, crushed into meat sauce, and then directly supplied to the canteen, or compressed into blocks, into portable military rations.
It was by relying on the spirulina and cockroaches cultivated on a large scale that the four major base areas firmly stood under the weight of the undead. Judging from the current level of industrial civilization on the Earth plane, as long as there is enough energy, it is not difficult to simply produce life-sustaining food.
Facing those two black things, Zhuang Yichen really regretted it, why did he have to ask the narrator what it was.
Spirulina is okay, although it is a dark green and soft lump, and it looks very bad, but at least it is still something to eat. And cockroach sauce, Zhuang Yichen really can't eat it.
After struggling for most of the day, he finally ate the two lumps of things. He remembered the eating of human flesh in the cities of the Fallen Zone, which was really many times cleaner than that.
In fact, it's just a matter of the heart that it's hard to swallow these things. After putting aside the burden in my heart, the taste of cockroach sauce is actually not bad.
As for the psychological burden, it has long been insignificant compared to living.
After leaving the cafeteria, Zhuang Yichen returned to his residence. For those two black things, although Niuniu showed the same disgust, she also ate cleanly.
Kyoto at night is also shrouded in darkness where you can't see your fingers. Everything in Kyoto depends on the mega nuclear power plant underground. In addition to the day-to-day costs of growing food and charging metal exoskeletons and electric vehicles, it is also important to maintain sufficient power quotas at all times to supply large land-based laser weapons.
This is the only weapon that can truly threaten the undead, and if it weren't for these super-large laser cannons to balance the undead, I'm afraid that the four remaining base areas would have been destroyed by the forbidden spell magic cast by the undead.
In Kyoto, lighting is a waste of luxury, except for necessary locations.
Zhuang Yichen stood at the window and looked out, and then with a wave of his hand, the four-headed mountain giant ape skeleton appeared in the room.
The four-headed mountain giant ape skeleton was the most satisfying harvest on his way to Kyoto. In order to solve them, Zhuang Yichen wandered and fought with them on the desolate Taihang Mountain for more than half a month, and only then did he turn them intact into his little brother.
After summoning them, Zhuang Yichen took risks again. Raided a Skeleton Warrior's garrison, strengthening them all with soul fire to the top.
These four mountain giant apes were all proficient in earth-based magic, and their strength was superior to those giant bears that Zhuang Yichen first encountered. And they're immensely powerful, their defenses are amazing, and they're perfect in every way, except for a slight lack of agility.
If it was fought alone, the strength of each mountain giant ape skeleton was not inferior to that of a fifth-order evolutionary. They are already the biggest hole cards in Zhuang Yichen's hand at this time.
