Chapter Seventy-Five: A New Source of Food

Bai Ze, Cai Jingyi, Fu Xuefeng, and Zhong De followed Shangguan Bingxue back to the pharmacy building where the survivors were.

When the group of five arrived at the scene, there were already many people sitting casually on large gravel and munching on food, and some people came out of the building with food, and then sat down and began to eat like everyone else.

Seeing a black-haired tiger dragged by Bai Ze's hand, the students all showed a look of surprise on their faces.

"Look, they killed a tiger."

"Isn't this a leopard?"

"Idiot, it's obviously a mutated tiger!"

"Hurry up and eat, you have to work after eating."

Bai Ze ignored all gazes and left the body of the Shadow Tiger near the Flame Beetle.

By now, the flame beetles have lost most of their protective shells, and the survivors have begun to chop up the meat and wrap it in plastic bags before sending it to the refrigerator later.

Although she was still not sure if this meat could be eaten, because she still didn't know if it was safe, Shangguan Bingxue decided to deal with it in advance to save time, and her idea was immediately recognized by everyone.

Bai Ze took a bowl of rice, as well as a large piece of braised pork and a steamed bun.

Nodding to the people in the kitchen, he simply walked to the top of the building and sat down with the beautiful Linglong not far away. Not long after sitting down, Wu Yijun quickly came over and started chatting with him.

Wu Yijun didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, and he didn't mean to ask him for anything, and it was a little late at lunchtime, Bai Ze casually chatted with her about a few inconsequential things.

After eating, Bai Ze said goodbye and returned to the previous place to continue cleaning up the zombies. This time, he told Fu Xuefeng that the three of them would be replaced by Kanglan, because he wanted to take her to fight and upgrade.

……

The battle for the whole day was exactly the same as it was at the beginning.

While cleaning up groups of zombies, Bai Ze practiced the control of mana and adapted to the manipulation of bloodlines in different situations. Slowly, he could clearly feel his control over magic and his ability to imagine clotting blood to form spears steadily improving.

After the sun went down, Bai Ze finally decided to call it a day and returned to the gymnasium, where he immediately met with Chen He and his party, who had come back a few minutes earlier.

Surprisingly, Shangguan Bingxue and his party did not hesitate, while the other survivors brought more mattresses and clothes from the girls' dormitory. Thanks to the help of the schoolgirls the day before, almost everyone now has a mat that can lie down and sleep, and although it is not as comfortable as a bed, it is countless times more comfortable than a cold hard ground.

The living conditions of the survivors improved little by little, and with the preservation of the powerful abilities of Bai Ze and other evolutionaries, the originally heavy and gloomy atmosphere was slowly reduced.

...

"It's been 14 hours since about 7:30 a.m., but there hasn't been the slightest anomalous change in the three scum who ate the beetle meat." Shangguan Bingxue sat on a chair next to a table in the cafeteria and announced the results of today's experiment.

"That'...... Can you eat meat at all? Liang Peng asked suspiciously.

Shangguan Bingxue glanced at him, then at the others, and continued: "For such a long time, if there are any abnormal changes, there should be at least some signs. However, the three of them did not change their skin color, did not have a fever, did not have any dilated pupils, and did not seem to have any mental abnormalities...... I think the flesh of mutant monsters should be harmless to humans. ”

Bai Ze chuckled lightly and said in a rather cheerful tone: "In other words, from today onwards, we have a new source of food, don't we?" ”

"Indeed." Shangguan Bingxue looked at everyone and nodded. Even her cold expression was a little warmer at the moment, which showed how happy she was at this time.

Evolved animals and insects are, in some ways, more terrifying than zombies, because just a random mutated creature can kill a large group of humans in a short period of time. However, now they have also become an indispensable food source!

Bai Ze and the others didn't know what kind of effect mana had on the whole world, but it wasn't surprising that Linglong told him that it was possible for crops to stop growing. Therefore, if this happens, then they will inevitably have less food for every meal they eat.

With the current world situation, it is natural that food production plants will cease to operate, and they will not be able to count on other foods. Therefore, the most natural food is the meat of other living beings.

Now that it had been determined that the meat of the flame beetle was edible, everyone was naturally overjoyed, and the burden on their shoulders was also lifted a lot.

Without food, people are unwilling to work, disobedient, and riots soon ensu. Given the current state of the world, this is bound to lead to the destruction of humanity. But now that they know that other animals can serve as a safe source of food, the food has at least some relief, and while this is not a long-term solution, at least for now, it is better than nothing.

"By the way, how are those three guys?" Bai Ze asked casually.

"As agreed, I let them go." Shangguan Bingxue replied lightly.

Bai Ze looked at her and asked in a strange tone, "...... Are they gone at this time? ”

"That's right. Any questions? Shangguan Bingxue looked at him and asked suspiciously.

What's the problem? Bai Ze didn't know what to say, just shook his head, thinking about the three poor worms and sneered.

It is true that Bai Ze cleared the streets to the north and southeast, and the three men also cleared part of the streets to the southwest, but at night, the danger is even greater. Bai Ze knew that three ordinary people who didn't even have the courage to fight would definitely not be able to survive at night unless they were lucky.

But even if they dodge the dangers of the night, given that there is no food around, death is only a matter of time.
