Chapter 321: Philadelphia

Philadelphia (Philadelphia), one of the supercities of the United States, is located in the southeast of Pennsylvania, USA, is the center of the Delaware Valley metropolitan area, the urban area from the Delaware River in the east, to the west of the Skukil River, an area of 334km?.

Philadelphia is one of the oldest and most historic cities in the United States, having a very important place in American history from 1790 to 1800 when it was the capital of the United States before the founding of Washington, D.C.

Philadelphia, also known as the "City of Love," is Pennsylvania's largest city, just across the river from New Jersey; It is the 5th largest city in the United States, after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston; It is the 4th largest metropolitan area in the United States, after New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

The Philadelphia metropolitan area has a population of 1553165 (2013) and the metro area has a population of more than 7.15 million (2013).

Philadelphia is strategically located about 160 kilometers northeast of New York City (2 hours drive) and southwest of Washington, D.C. about 220 kilometers (3 hours drive).

Philadelphia is the largest economic city in Pennsylvania, with an economic output value (GDP) of $420.768 billion in 2013, ranking 7th in the United States and the third largest economic city in the eastern United States after New York and Washington.

The Port of Philadelphia is one of the largest estuarine ports in the world. There is a canal that connects the Delaware River to the Chesapeake Bay. There is a free trade zone with an area of about 29 hectares.

Six bridges cross the Delaware River in the metropolitan area and connect to New Jersey towns on the other side. Philadelphia International Airport is located 12 kilometers southwest of the city center, and has one of the highest passenger and cargo volumes in China.

In November 2015, Philadelphia was inscribed on the World Heritage list, making it the first U.S. city to be inscribed on the World Heritage list.

At this time, Chen Hang and the others were standing in the downtown area of Philadelphia.

Like other cities, Philadelphia is in ruins. Cars fill the streets, scraps of paper flutter in the air, windows of buildings are open, cold winds blow by, and occasionally broken glass falls.

Because they needed food, Chen Hang and Verelle entered Philadelphia, and they began to go door to door looking for what they needed.

Philadelphia is known as a city of food, with a wide variety of restaurants, good quality and depth, and Philadelphia is a city where old and new restaurants thrive.

Because Philadelphia has been a multi-ethnic city since ancient times, it has many delicious cuisines from all over the world, such as Indian, Chinese, Ethiopian, Thai, Vietnamese... And so on and so forth.

You'll find plenty of great restaurants in Philadelphia at great prices, and it's a great place for those who want to enjoy the world's best without leaving the city.

Philadelphia is known for its local specialties:

Philly CheeseSteak — Philly's restaurants, snack bars and food trucks sell this food. This submarine-looking sandwich is sautéed with onions and ribeye beef slices and wrapped in a long Italian bread with cheese.

At the corner of South Street and Fourth Street in Philadelphia, Jims, Philadelphia's most famous restaurant selling cheese beef burgers, is often crowded outside the restaurant, and the walls of the restaurant are covered with photos and autographs of celebrities.

There are also a few CheeseSteaks selling delicious food near the Italian market. Although it is sold elsewhere in the United States, it does not taste authentic because it lacks a high-temperature oven that makes it impossible to bake thick and crispy Italian bread.

Hoagies – These sandwiches are wrapped in cold meat and vegetables in a risotto, a bit like a submarine fort.

It was also called Hoagie because it was very popular among the early Italian immigrants who were shepherding sheep on Hogg Island, hence the first name hoggie.

Gelati Ice Cream (Gelati) - This kind of ice cream is mixed with water, whipped cream and fresh fruit, stone fruit or chocolate, etc., many coffee shops in Philadelphia sell this handmade ice cream, compared with ordinary ice cream, Gelati is made of real ingredients, especially the fruit-based Gelati, which often has a strong fruity aroma and a much more refreshing taste than ordinary ice cream.

Pretzels—Many cafes and food trucks in Philadelphia sell this food. Philadelphia's Pretzels are thicker and longer, and some are eaten with mustard sauce, which is best eaten when freshly baked, otherwise it will become hard and unpalatable after a long time.

Stromboli – Originating in Philadelphia, pizza dough is baked with cheese, pizza sauce and spices, a bit like the Italian calzone, which is sold in most pizzerias in Philadelphia.

Black Cherry Soda (BlackCherryWishniak) – An old-fashioned black cherry soda that contains the flavor of real black cherry. Wishniak is related to Philadelphia's local soda brand "Frank".

(The author loves food, and anyone who has read my work knows my hobby - cough, of course, it was written by another author, so here is some Western-style stuff.) )

Of course, now all the doors of Philadelphia are open to Chen Hang and them, but those delicacies are now spoiled.

Chen Hang, Verier, and Lu Lili quickly found food, but these former delicacies are now hard, Chen Hang tried to take a bite, he quickly frowned and spit out those things, Chen Hang was very dissatisfied with these foods.

Seeing Chen Hang's expression, Lu Lili smiled and pushed Chen Hang:

"How did you vomit, what a pity! Didn't you teach us to cherish food before? Rice eaten raw should be regarded as the supreme delicacy. ”

Lu Lili just said it unintentionally, but Chen Hang and Verier were starry, and Verier called out happily:

"Lili, have you recovered your memory?"

Lu Lili was suddenly confused again, and when she scratched her head, Lu Lili asked suspiciously, "Did I say this before?" ”

So Chen Hang and Verier sighed again.

But if you find the ingredients, you won't be afraid of not eating. Philadelphia has so many food venues that the apocalypse suddenly erupts, and the ingredients are still there, and now all that is needed is a good chef.

Of course, there will be no shortage of good chefs, Lu Lili is one of them, the three of them found a quiet place, where canned gas is still used, Lu Lili rolled up her sleeves and dried.

……

Chapter 322: Four Mutants

Mixing noodles, beating eggs, and making ingredients, this time Lu Lili actually made pancakes and fruits!

Pancake fruit is a famous snack in northern China, Tianjin people take it as a breakfast, the northeast region also calls it egg cake, and now the southern region is also widely spread, it has even been spread abroad, pancake fruit is extremely popular all over the world.

Pancake buns are a snack of Tianjin people. It is composed of mung bean flour pancakes, eggs, and fried dough sticks or crispy "steamed buns", served with noodle sauce, minced green onions, chili sauce (optional), and fermented bean curd (optional) as condiments, giving it a salty and fragrant taste.

Today's pancake bun raw materials are not limited to thin cakes made of mung bean noodles, but also soybean noodles, black bean noodles and other options, but Tianjin people still adhere to the traditional way of eating.

The only ingredients used in the authentic pancakes are mung bean noodles, fried dough sticks, chopped green onions, sesame seeds and other condiments.

In the provinces other than Tianjin, there are many raw materials such as ham, sausages and even shredded tofu and meat floss in pancakes.

When it comes to pancakes, we can't fail to mention Shandong's pancakes, and it is Shandong's pancakes that have a delicious snack with strong Tianjin characteristics - pancake buns.

Pancake buns have been around in Tianjin for more than 100 years. It is said to have been pioneered by a Shandong horse surnamed ****.

At first, it was just a large pancake roll with a fritter and green onions. Today's pancake fruit has long been popular all over the country, and it can be seen everywhere.

Chen Hang and the others should have found a Chinese restaurant, where the ingredients are complete, even the fillings are sealed and packaged, so Lu Lili has no trouble making these things.

When the smell of pancakes spread throughout the room, Chen Hang and Verier were already drooling, Verier snatched one directly from the top of the pot, and then she stuffed it into her mouth regardless of the hot mouth.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm...... It's delicious, it's delicious, and I can't imagine that I can taste such a delicacy after the end of the world. ”

Verelle's mouth was full of slurry, she kept applauding there, Chen Hang took a bite here, and the woman snatched it from his hand unceremoniously, and then Verelle's mouth was stuffed.

Lu Lili smiled and watched the two fighting, she felt that such a scene was very warm, Lu Lili's subordinates did not stop, and soon the new fruit was fried again.

It will never be possible to see the image of a lady on Verelle's body, and this girl directly snatched the two pancake fruits that were cut this time. Don't look at her graceful figure, but Verille's appetite is definitely not small, after all, the consumption of female special combat members is too large.

It wasn't until the third time that Verelle withdrew her hand, her mouth still chewing, and Verelle slowly savoring the taste.

Here, Chen Hang took a fruit to feed Lu Lili, Lu Lili was embarrassed to think about doing it herself, but how could she have spare time with flour on her hands, plus here Verier added:

"Don't be pretentious, you used to feed mouth-to-mouth."

So Lu Lili sweetly accepted Chen Hang's kindness.

This meal was really delicious, and the three of them enjoyed a meal. Just as Lu Lili was about to make a few more for dry food, Chen Hang's ears suddenly stood up, and he stretched out a finger in front of his mouth and shushed it, and the two girls immediately became nervous.

Looking out of the window, I saw hundreds of meters of street, where several animals slowly swayed out - dogs, wolves, badgers, and cows, a group of animals that were common but would never have been mixed together on a daily basis.

Chen Hang and the others knew that there must be something strange in it, and the three of them held their breath and carefully observed the outside, and saw the group of animals walking towards this side leisurely.

"It's a mutant ......"

Verelle held up her scope and whispered. Chen Hang and Lu Lili nodded, and they also saw it.

Some of the animals still had pieces of cloth hanging from them, apparently torn clothes - they must have been transformed by humans.

I saw the four animals swimming up and down the street, getting closer and closer to the restaurant. When it was still more than two hundred meters away from the building where the restaurant was located, the badger suddenly shook its nose, and its head slowly turned to this side.

The badger hissed, and the other animals reacted in the same way, and they began to speed up, and the four animals quickly rushed into the restaurant.

The smell was still there, and there was temperature on the stove, and even if they didn't use their evolved abilities, the four animals knew that someone had once entered the restaurant, and they immediately began to look around.

After searching the entire floor of the restaurant, and even the underground garage where the building is located, the four animals found nothing, and they returned to the restaurant again.

I saw a "crackling" sound from the bodies of these animals, the bones of the animals continued to shake, and the four animals with different sizes began to shrink, and after a while, four people appeared in the restaurant.

"Sure enough, it's evolutionary people, they found us."

In a building across the street, Verelle was still holding the scope, which had the ability to gather sound, so far away that only she could hear the conversation in the restaurant opposite, and Verelle whispered to translate their conversation.

"They found us, they must be hiding somewhere."

"The pot is still a little hot, I don't think they got far."

"Could it be that they are also evolutionary people? Otherwise, how could they hide so far? ”……

Those four people, you say a word to me, Chen Hang and the others are secretly frightened when they hear it. They were indeed a little careless before, and they didn't pay attention to covering their whereabouts, and now I don't know if these people have malicious intentions.

"You don't remember that playground? These people are able to control their own shapeshifting abilities. ”

Verier whispered, and Chen Hang suddenly felt in his heart, and the three of them became more careful.

After a while, the four men gave up their efforts and left the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, the men headed north, they were very careful along the way, the four of them could change at any time, and they searched on the spot from time to time, apparently they didn't want others to find out where they wanted to go.

Chen Hang and the others were very careful, and they had been falling far behind. Verier was originally a master of tracking, and Chen Hang and Lu Lili's abilities surpassed those people too much, so they were never discovered by the other party.

After walking more than a dozen kilometers and bypassing a large number of streets, the four men began to speed up, and they ran towards a hill.

That hill is Philadelphia's urban park, where the city has deliberately preserved its natural environment. The four mutants rounded the hilltop park and ran to the back of the park, where a large compound appeared.
