Sweet but not cloying, sour but not astringent, the delicious fish juice mixed with the sauce slides down the throat and into the stomach, spreading warmth instantly.
This taste is the most ordinary home-cooked flavor before the apocalypse, but it seems especially precious in these days of scarcity.
Zhong Tiyun made this sweet and sour fish with great care, even cooking the fish bones and fins until they were soft.
Zhou Shuwan simply picked up a piece of fish fillet and started crunching away. The crispy fish bones mixed with the sauce were more and more fragrant the more she chewed. She didn't have to worry about choking at all and ate with great enjoyment.
On the training ground of the base, shouts and cries rose and fell as the young and strong men of the base practiced close combat.
In the apocalypse, air-conditioned clothing and weapons are not enough; real skills are the key to survival in any emergency.
Mu Mu stood in the center of the field, practicing with a teammate.
His movements were crisp and clean, each punch and kick carrying a sharp force, and the sound of the wind breaking could be heard as his fists swept through the air.
The opponent was also a trained fighter, but he was outmatched by Mu Mu in just a few rounds. Mu Mu neutralized his force with a precise block and then pinned him to the ground.
"it is good!"
A cheer erupted from the onlookers, and some even whistled.
Mu Mu let go of the other person's hand and reached out to pull them up. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of another figure at the entrance of the training ground.
The person stood in the light and shadow, their figure quite eye-catching.
Even though she was wearing the same standard air-conditioned uniform as everyone else, her figure was still slender and well-proportioned, unlike the bulky clothes worn by ordinary people.
With his shoulders and back straight, he stood there quietly, yet he managed to attract attention at a glance.
The shouts and cheers on the training field seemed to have weakened slightly.
The cheers and jeers quickly rose, even more enthusiastic than when Mumu had won the sparring match earlier.
"Hey, isn't this Xiaoxue?"
"You're here to see Mu Mu, right? I'm pretty sure!"
"You know what, the two of them really look like a perfect match standing together!"
Xiaoxue and Lin Wei have completely different temperaments.
Lin Wei's beauty is sharp, like a drawn sword, with a hint of aloofness and arrogance always in her eyes.
But Xiaoxue was different. She had a sweet charm, with big, bright eyes and a natural innocence.
She and Mu Mu are a very good match in terms of appearance.
No wonder the other team members joked about it.
Qi Mingyu nodded slightly to Mu Mu, his tone steady: "Go and see what's going on."
He could tell that Xiaoxue's brows furrowed with urgency; something important must be on her mind.
Mu Mu responded and walked up to Xiao Xue, her tone alert: "What's wrong?"
As soon as Xiaoxue saw him, her anxiety intensified. She grabbed his arm and pulled him to a secluded spot.
Then, he nervously spoke up: "Mumu, Sister Lin... Sister Lin is secretly testing Dr. Zhou's blood, do you know that?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Mu's eyes suddenly turned extremely cold, like a frozen pool, carrying a terrifying ferocity, and the air pressure around her instantly dropped to freezing point.
Xiaoxue was startled by his appearance.
She had never seen Mu Mu like this before. Even when he was serious, his eyes always held a youthful brightness.
But at this moment, his expression was so terrifying that she dared not look him in the eye.
Mu Mu realized his loss of composure, but he didn't care. He stared at Xiao Xue, his voice as cold as ice, and asked, word by word, "What happened? Tell me everything you know."
Xiaoxue composed herself and said very quickly, "I don't know how she got Dr. Zhou's blood either! Because Dr. Zhou hasn't been to the medical department for a check-up recently, and I haven't heard of her being injured or bleeding. Logically speaking, Sister Lin shouldn't have her blood sample at all!"
"Sister Lin has a locked little box. I saw it once by chance before. It contained Xiao Sheng's blood sample."
"But these past few days, Sister Lin has been living in the research institute almost day and night, focusing all her attention on research."
