Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

Lin Luo was slightly surprised: "You guys are so good at eating spicy food, how come I didn't see you eating spicy food before?"

Shen Kexin smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm someone who can eat spicy food or not, but I've been eating bland food for too long. This time I want to try some chili."

Jiang Yiyi said, "I'm the same as Kexin."

"Looks like I'll have to eat light hot pot with Tian Xiaoyu."

Lin Luo sighed.

"I don't want to share a hot pot with a jerk."

Tian Xiaoyu picked up a piece of luncheon meat from the spicy pot and put it in her mouth.

"Oh my god, it's so spicy."

She took two bites and immediately spat them back into the bowl.

"Drink some ice-cold Sprite, it will really help relieve the spiciness."

Su Xinyue smiled and handed Tian Xiaoyu a glass of iced Sprite, which Tian Xiaoyu drank in one gulp.

"It's really spicy."

Tian Xiaoyu began to question the meaning of life.

Lin Luo laughed and said, "There are quite a few people in Jiangnan Province who eat spicy food, more than in your Guangdong Province."

"Hmph! They discriminate against people from Guangdong Province. I'll prove them wrong."

Tian Xiaoyu wanted to eat chili peppers again to prove herself.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your breath.

She recalled how spicy it was and decided to give up eating it.

"I told you not to be stubborn, but you still are. Look at your red lips, you must have been really hurt by the spiciness. Let me help you, milk is better at relieving spiciness than Sprite."

"?"

Lin Luo took a big gulp of milk and kissed Tian Xiaoyu's red lips.

"Ok!"

Tian Xiaoyu pounded on Lin Luo's chest.

The milk went from Lin Luo's mouth into Tian Xiaoyu's mouth, which helped relieve the spiciness.

"This is too much PDA."

Cheng Miaomiao, seemingly unafraid of making things worse, deliberately smeared chili oil on her lips.

"Brother Lin, is it my turn next?"

"?"

Lin Luo took out a tissue and wiped the chili pepper from Cheng Miaomiao's mouth: "Eat your food properly."

"I can see that you're showing favoritism."

Cheng Miaomiao said indignantly.

"Xin Yue, I want to switch places with you and let Lin Luo kiss your lips. I hope it'll burn him to death."

Tian Xiaoyu said with a blush on her pretty face.

"I'm just an observer, I don't support anyone."

Su Xinyue quickly distanced herself from the situation.

"Eating isn't very enjoyable, let's watch TV instead."

Cheng Xuexue suggested.

"Sure, are there any good movies?"

Ye An'an asked.

"Let's watch a comedy. I'm tired of watching romance movies all the time lately."

Lin Luo suggested.

"No, I have to watch a drama. I think 'The Temptation to Go Home' is pretty good."

Tian Xiaoyu objected.

"I've heard it's pretty good, but I haven't watched it yet. I'm bored recently, so I can take a good look at it."

Su Xinyue said with great interest.

Lin Luo's objections were ineffective, so the women started watching "The Temptation of Going Home".

They seemed to have planned it all along: instead of complaining about how bad the mistress and mother-in-law were, they would focus on talking about how bad the scumbag was.

Lin Luo initially objected, but eventually gave up on treatment.

The women's words were too sharp; he was powerless to refute them.

.....

On a rusty steel boat.

"Boss, we're almost out of fuel. It won't be long before we run out of fuel to sail."

Mo Xiaoxin said.

"That's strange. We've been driving all night. Logically, we should have caught up by now. It's impossible that we haven't caught up yet."

Xu Feng frowned.

Mo Xiaoxin asked, "Is it possible that we were driving too fast and have overtaken them?"

"That's a possibility."

Xu Feng nodded.

"How about we wait here, boss? Maybe we'll see that ship come along."

Mo Xiaoxin said.

"Now we can only wait here. We've run out of fuel, and it's impossible for us to go anywhere."

Xu Feng nodded helplessly.

He had previously looked down on Cao Zuguang, thinking that Cao Zuguang was just waiting to die.

He's run out of fuel now, and his fate is no different from Cao Zuguang's.

Two days later, all the food was gone.

Mo Xiaoxin told Xu Feng about the food shortage, and Xu Feng was at a loss as to what to do.

Xu Feng sighed and said, "Let everyone catch fish to eat. It's better to starve than to mutate."

"Ok."

Mo Xiaoxin nodded in agreement.

The boat carried some fishing nets. The fish are very aggressive these days, so there's no need to deliberately fish for them.

When people walk to the side of the boat, some fish will rush up and attack.

In a short while, Xu Feng and his team caught three or four large fish.

The fish are black carp, and they grow very fat; some of the larger ones can weigh over ten kilograms.

Before the biological mutation, the black carp were too big, about the size of a tuna.

One black carp is enough to feed seventy or eighty people on the boat for several days.

Old Xu, who was in charge of cooking, picked up a sharp knife and dissected the whole fish.

The fish's body seemed to have mutated, and many strange things had grown inside.

Old Xu cut off these strange things, leaving behind the edible fish meat, which weighed about two hundred pounds.

During the process of preparing the black carp, several people felt nauseous and couldn't help but vomit.

Old Xu almost couldn't take it anymore and was on the verge of a breakdown.

To be honest, even human autopsies are not as disgusting as dissecting this black carp.

Xu Feng spat and said, "Old Xu, try to make it as delicious as possible, so that the brothers can handle it."

"I see."

Old Xu is the cook in Xu Feng's family, and he has been doing it for nearly 30 years.

He was a child picked up by Xu Feng's grandfather, who kept him at home and treated him like an old servant.

Old Xu has been married several times, but none of his marriages were successful, and all ended in divorce.

Xu Feng and Lao Xu have always been quite close, and Xu Feng only eats the food Lao Xu cooks at home.

Old Xu has been cooking all his life, and his skills are far superior to some five-star chefs.

After his cooking, the fishy smell of the fish was greatly reduced, making it barely edible.

In the evening, a large pile of dishes was laid out on the table, all made of fish, including braised fish chunks, steamed black carp, fried fish chunks, and so on.

Under Lao Xu's careful cooking, the dishes on the table exuded an enticing color.

"It looks delicious, Xiao Wang. Why don't you try it? I think it will be very tasty."

"As a newcomer to the gang, I'll save this good thing for last; you guys should try it first."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Eating fish is better than starving to death. I've seen Cao Zuguang eat so much fish and nothing's happened to him."

.....

Everyone tried to persuade each other to eat the fish, but no one touched their chopsticks.

They were all very hungry, and their mouths were watering.

But when they thought about the consequences of Old Xu killing the fish and eating the fish meat, they all backed down.

Xu Feng took the lead and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I'll be the first to eat."

He picked up a piece of braised fish and chewed it with relish.

"It's delicious. Apart from a slight fishy smell, the fish itself is very tender."

Xu Feng called out to Mo Xiaoxin, "Come and have a taste too."

Mo Xiaoxin was very unwilling, but she picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of fish without being told what to do.

He put the fish in his mouth and began to chew.

The first thing that hit me was a fishy smell. The fish was very fresh and tender, but overall it wasn't particularly delicious, nor was it bad.
