In this verdant vegetation, dandelions are blooming with small pale yellow flowers, in addition to dandelions, the scattered large serrated leaves, fresh and green is not the shepherd's cabbage? And the purslane plant is extraordinarily thick.

Zhang Xiaoqiang jumped out of the car and stepped forward quickly, walked to a bright green plant, and carefully uprooted it, this is a bitter herb with oval sawtooth leaves, looking at this emerald green bitter herb, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was a little agitated, God gave mankind a catastrophe, and it also gave mankind a glimmer of hope.

Dandelion, camellia, purslane, bitter herbs, these are wild vegetables that can be eaten safely, and they are also rich in this nutrient and amino acids and vitamins are more than those grown on a large scale, which is a gift left by nature to the survivors, and those giant earthworms that can grow to more than a dozen catties, which will be the future food source of the base.

The lake is very large, and Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyesight can barely see the faint end, that is only the width of the lake, as for how long the lake is, I believe that Zhang Xiaoqiang may not be able to see it clearly even if he uses a telescope.

The time is nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, the time is still early, but Zhang Xiaoqiang decided to set up camp near here, the survivors after the end of the world are hiding like mice, not to say that you can find it, it depends on luck, Zhang Xiaoqiang has been ready to look for a long time, in this case, why not camp next to the vegetable field?

The task of searching for survivors was naturally handed over to Lu Xiaobu, Zhang Xiaoqiang took people to dig wild vegetables by the lake, according to the ancient labor distribution, digging wild vegetables is generally the work of women, their job is to gather, and men are generally hunting, countless years later, men seem to have a more fanatical interest in digging wild vegetables than women.

The daily food of the team members is not simple, but it is not rich, usually rice and pickles or a little bacon soup, vegetables have a meal every three days, since leaving the base, they have never eaten fresh vegetables, at this moment the fresh vegetables that can pinch out the water are in front of them, thinking that dinner can be eaten, their hearts are hot, while chatting with their companions, while quickly collecting the wild vegetables in front of them.

It may be the instinct inherited in the bones of women thousands of years ago, the women of the team collect wild vegetables but are more efficient than the men, between the flipping of the index finger, the tender wild vegetables are completely dug out by them, the hands are moving, the mouth does not stop, they whisper homely, sometimes they will use their eyes to tell their companions, which man she has a crush on, whenever this kind of look is passed in the women's pile, it will always cause a burst of laughter.

Zhang Xiaoqiang is in a good mood today, which can be seen from his honest squatting on the ground digging wild vegetables, you must know that Zhang Xiaoqiang is really not a diligent guy, as for labor is a virtue, he never believed it, in addition to Yuan Yi, Shangguan Qiaoyun and Xu Mengzhu by his side, Yang Keer and Meow Meow are also digging wild vegetables on the side.

The two puppies didn't have a rope around their necks today that they hated, and the consequence was that the two puppies were completely crazy, they ran wildly around Yang Keer and Meow Meow, a clump of grass blades were hit by them, and the shrubs were removed by them to remove the green leaves, Yang Keer and Meow Meow didn't care about them, and they were able to dig out wild vegetables from the ground with their own hands, which was also a novel experience for them.

"Wangwang......" A tender puppy barking came from the grass in the distance, first a puppy barked, and then it became two puppies barking together, no one paid attention to it at first, but the barking sound did not stop, but it became louder and louder, Yang Keer impatiently threw away the wild vegetables in his hand, and walked towards the puppy with a muttering mouth.

"Come and see...... What a big turtle, ......" Yang Ke'er's shout made Zhang Xiaoqiang and the woman beside him get up at the same time and look at Yang Ke'er who was waving in the distance...... Beside Yang Ke'er, the two puppies are guarding a huge black tortoise, this tortoise is not very bold, its head and limbs are deeply retracted into the tortoise shell, but its size is not small, lying on the ground like a black stone grinding disc for grinding noodles, the highest part of the turtle's back is at least fifty meters from the ground, and the two puppies together are less than half the size of this tortoise.

Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at this big turtle in amazement, but saliva involuntarily flowed out, Zhang Xiaoqiang is a person who is not taboo, he has eaten almost everything he can eat, but he has never eaten a turtle, for the legendary creatures here, he has been admiring it for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be delivered to his mouth today?

Zhang Xiaoqiang was attracted by this big black turtle, and the two puppies who sat on the side and waited for the praise were forgotten by Zhang Xiaoqiang, but fortunately, they were rewarded by Yang Keer and Meow Meow, a dog and a small biscuit.

When Zhang Xiaoqiang carried the big turtle back to the camp, the team members were a sensation, they had never seen such a big turtle, Zhang Huai'an grabbed half of the clean earthworm and was about to cook a meal, and his eyes immediately lit up after he glanced at the big turtle.

"Brother Cockroach...... Are you going to do this with this turtle? Zhang Huai'an squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the turtle in front of him.

"Oh, can't you bake a turtle?" Zhang Xiaoqiang was surprised, wasn't the roasted vole delicious some time ago?

"Waste, serious waste, brother cockroach, do you know, this turtle is a treasure......" Speaking of this, Zhang Huai'an looked around sneakily, sneakily leaned into Zhang Xiaoqiang's ear and said: "The turtle can be used in medicine, if you want to talk about delicious turtles, they are not as good as frogs, but its biggest effect is ......"

Zhang Huai'an looked around again, saw that there was still no one coming to him, and whispered two words: "Aphrodisiac ......"

Zhang Xiaoqiang almost sprayed when he heard this, he looked at Zhang Huai'an and said, "This thing can only be aphrodisiac?" ”

Zhang Huai'an couldn't wait to cover Zhang Xiaoqiang's mouth, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaoqiang's voice was not loud, so Zhang Huai'an put his mind at ease.

"In addition to aphrodisiac, it can also nourish yin and nourish the skin, which is more replenishing than soft-shelled turtles, but it doesn't have those effects when it's roasted, and the turtle can only be stewed slowly, and only by making soup will it not lose its medicinal effect."

Zhang Huai'an didn't know the specific situation, he had long wanted to get a turtle to pounce on himself, but those domestic turtles were all fast-grown, and there was no wild effect, and it was more difficult to find a wild one than to climb to the sky, and now the opportunity was in front of him, would he let it go?

The turtle was chopped into pieces and put in the cauldron for a long time, Zhang Huai'an stayed by the cauldron and watched the fire for a moment, Zhang Huai'an's nervousness made Zhang Xiaoqiang can't help but guess if this old guy has some hidden disease, otherwise why is he so enthusiastic?

The turtle was slowly boiling, Zhang Xiaoqiang's thoughts couldn't help but fly to the lake, although the apocalyptic virus also has an impact on animals, but after all, it doesn't want to have such a big impact on humans, relatively speaking, this catastrophe seems to be building a new biological system, a system that allows other animals to speed up their evolution.

Mutant dogs, mutated cats, mutated mice, and mutant earthworms, even this turtle that is bubbling in the pot has a tendency to mutate, the animals have mutated, but the meat on their bodies has not mutated, as long as the meat on their bodies can be eaten, then the source of meat in the future can be enriched.

And that huge lake is obviously a huge resource point, there should be a lot of various aquatic life in it, if so, can people be sent to collect and fish?

The convoy that went out to explore came back, as Zhang Xiaoqiang expected, they found nothing, maybe the water network here is dense, all kinds of vegetation is not as withered as Beyond, the rich wild vegetable resources provide the survivors with food to fill their stomachs, and they don't have to risk looking for food in densely populated places, they really can't find them for a while.

When Lu Xiaobu came back to report the news, he was still a little bumpy, and after more than two hours of searching, he found nothing, so he felt very faceless, and he was even more afraid of Zhang Xiaoqiang's blame.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't have the heart to blame him, all his thoughts were now in that lake......
