Chapter 68 Blood-Red Stone

Zhao Yin and Wu Xuegui returned to the warehouse. Zhao Yin pointed at the dozen or so bundles of bamboo poles and said, "Distribute them immediately. For those who are still alive, find a few to pick crispy ear vegetables, and the rest to go fishing, including children over five years old!"

"Everyone going fishing?" Wu Xuegui was surprised.

Are you trying to catch all the fish in the pond?

"Didn't you understand?" Zhao Yin narrowed his eyes.

Wu Xuegui was startled and bowed quickly: "Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away!"

After saying that, Wu Xuegui walked out and quickly brought with him a dozen strong middle-aged women who carried all the bamboo poles out of the warehouse.

Zhao Yin didn't watch them distribute the bamboo poles, and pointed at the big pots: "I'll ask Lao Hei to bring you some rat bones later. Those who catch fish today will have bone soup, and those who don't catch any fish will not!"

Zhao Yin understands that if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass!

He took those rat bones, which he despised, with him simply because he didn't want them to go to waste.

Rat bones don't have much meat on them, but they are quite heavy, and now they have become a burden to Lao Hei and the others. If they encounter an accident, the contracted beasts carrying the extremely heavy load will not have much combat power at all.

It’s a good idea to use it here at this time, at least it’s much better than wasting it.

Zhao Yin didn't care about draining the pond to catch all the fish. What he wanted was to catch all the fish in the pond and take them away during the time he stayed there!

Wu Xuegui was stunned again: "Rat bone soup?"

"They're the bones of big rats. They're similar to cow bones, but taste better!" Zhao Yin said.

Wu Xuegui suddenly became excited.

Captain Wang and his men paid a heavy price because the big rat was too delicious!

Now we have rat bone soup to drink!

"Boss, I will tell them what you said. There must be many people willing to work hard for you!" Wu Xuegui said happily, then limped out.

Zhao Yin did not expect that rat bones would be so attractive to these people.

In fact, from his point of view, rat bones are not a good thing, even worse than the fish in the pond.

But for the people in the cave, they haven’t had a full meal for a long time, let alone the delicious food they have always been thinking about?

After Zhao Yin walked out of the warehouse, he went to where the queue was previously.

Song Xiaodao and his contracted beasts had already dealt with all the old men, leaving a few old women to deal with the corpses.

Not far away, hundreds of people were holding bamboo poles in their hands. Many of them had already removed the threads from old clothes and were preparing to twist them into hemp ropes.

Next, they only need to bend the wire from the pile of scrap metal into an iron hook and tie a rope to it, and it will be a simple fishing rod!

"Boss, I left ten elderly ladies to take care of children under five years old, and thirty young and strong women to pick crisp ear vegetables. All the rest were equipped with fishing rods." Wu Xuegui reported.

"Did you use this to fish before?" Zhao Yin asked with a frown.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, boss. This is the only condition we have. Although the equipment is simple, if dozens of people fish together, it is still no problem to catch thirty fish a day!" said Wu Xuegui.

Zhao Yin hesitated slightly and called out, "Song Xiaodao."

"Zhao Yin." Song Xiaodao walked over.

"Give each of them a piece of dried meat as bait for fishing. Anyone who dares to steal it will be killed!" Zhao Yin said.

Song Xiaodao agreed and went to find the little monkey to help distribute the dried meat.

Soon, a group of people carrying "fishing rods" headed for the pond in the front hall.

Zhao Yin followed the crowd and watched.

Soon, the not-so-big pool of water was surrounded by five or six hundred people.

Someone couldn't wait to cast the rod, and a few minutes later, a fish took the hook, and then a black carp weighing more than a pound was pulled up.

Wu Xuegui's eyes widened immediately: "Boss, what kind of meat did you give them as bait? We fished for a long time before, but no fish took a bite. The fish here are much harder to bite than those outside. Why is this meat...?"

"It's the meat of big rats." Zhao Yin said casually.

Wu Xuegui was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The boss actually uses rat meat to fish?

That kind of rat meat is a top-notch delicacy. Even before the end of the world, it wouldn't be wasted like this, right?

Zhao Yin was quite happy at this time. She walked directly to the old lady who caught the fish, took the black carp off the hook, and looked at the bait on the hook. She just tore off a small piece of meat thread and put it on the iron hook. There was no waste.

Zhao Yin nodded: "Tonight, you can drink rat bone soup!"

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss!" The aunt bowed excitedly.

Zhao Yin held the fish and walked towards the passage. He soon returned to the hall in front of the warehouse and handed the fish to Song Xiaodao: "Go and cook fish soup. It's a snack for lunch today."

"Great, there's fish soup to drink!" Song Xiaodao happily carried the fish and skipped away.

But after avoiding Zhao Yin's sight, she took a wok from the old cow's back, then found the aunts who were taking care of the children and asked coldly, "Who knows how to cook fish soup?"

"I can."

"I can."

"I can do it too."

Almost all aunties can cook fish soup.

Before the end of the world, they were all retired elderly people. Those who could travel had almost no health problems. Their hobbies at home, apart from playing mahjong and square dancing, were that they had enough time to study recipes.

Song Xiaodao threw the pot and the fish to an old lady who had washed her face: "I'll give you a piece of dried meat secretly, and you help me cook the fish soup. Don't let Zhao Yin know!"

The aunt nodded in surprise: "Okay!"

……

"Boss, the woman who is in charge of picking crispy ear vegetables asked me to ask you if they also have rat bone soup in the evening?"

Wu Xuegui asked Zhao Yin cautiously.

Zhao Yin nodded: "Go tell them that those who work hard will have food to eat. If anyone dares to hide it, even if it's just one person, I will kill them all and feed them to the rats!"

Today, in front of everyone, he slaughtered those old men in the most brutal way. I believe no one would dare to hide it.

At least, they haven't had the courage to do anything in the past two days.

However, Zhao Yin still used this method to let them supervise each other.

Wu Xuegui shuddered: "Got it, boss."

After saying that, he did not leave immediately, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Yin asked.

The corner of his eye fell on Song Xiaodao in the distance, and he saw all the lazy little movements of that girl.

"Boss, there are actually some things in the warehouse... I don't know whether I should give them to you." Wu Xuegui said hesitantly.

Zhao Yin turned around and looked at him, his eyes gradually colder: "Are you still hiding something from me?"

I was so anxious to see the crispy vegetables that I didn't have time to look at the bill.

Wu Xuegui's face suddenly turned red and he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Boss, listen to me. I am not hiding anything on purpose. It's just that those things... those things are useless. What's more, after giving them to you, they may... bring you danger!"

"What is it?" Zhao Yin became interested.

He stared at Wu Xuegui's evasive eyes and immediately understood that the other party was afraid that he would suspect him of having bad intentions.

If the other party really wanted to hide something from him, he would not risk telling it now.

Wu Xuegui took out a fist-sized rag bag from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Yin respectfully with both hands: "Boss, you may not believe this, but inside the heads of those zombies, there are two kinds of stones, one transparent and the other blood red!"

"The transparent stone has no effect, but if you crack the blood-red stone, something will appear out of thin air. Sometimes it's food, sometimes it's water, and it's possible... it could be poison!"

Zhao Yin's heart shrank. Isn't the blood-red stone that Wu Xuegui mentioned the star crystal?

It turns out that they had discovered the secret of star crystals long ago!
