Chapter 181: Big Fish

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A few days later, Ye Xingchen brought Zhao Hao, Mo Qi, and Qin Tianming to go out at night.

Ye Xingchen didn’t bring Lin Sijia. He was afraid that Lin Sijia wouldn’t be able to take it if she didn’t sleep for two days, so he promised to bring more stuff back at night.

Ye Xingchen originally wanted to go to the forest again, but for safety reasons, Ye Xingchen planned to come back to explore later on.

Buckets of fish were placed into the car by Ye Xingchen. In addition to the air conditioner, Ye Xingchen also took out ice cubes and threw them into the buckets.

Ye Xingchen threw two bags full of big black rats into the trunk of the car. After all, Ye Xingchen really didn’t like those things. They were black and covered in fur, and they smelled bad.

Lin Sijia had fallen asleep when they returned. She was already very sleepy when Ye Xingchen left.

The fish was kept by Ye Xingchen in one of the smallest swimming pools. Anyway, there were many swimming pools in this place.

The temperature in the pond was controlled, so it was very suitable for the fish brought back by Ye Xingchen.

After Ye Xingchen left, the fish that had been submerged in the warm water slowly became active again.

Ye Xingchen added the sea salt that he had brought back to the water. He bought a lot of it tonight. After mixing the water according to the ratio in the information that he had downloaded before, Ye Xingchen went back to sleep in peace.

With a suitable temperature, the fish began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye out of Ye Xingchen’s sight.

The sea salt was crystallized without being filtered. There was also a lot of radioactive substances in the sea water, which were also absorbed by the fish in the small pond.

The next morning, Ye Xingchen was woken up by Zhao Hao.

“F*ck, Little Ye, get up quickly.”

After Zhao Hao came back, he washed up and lay down. He woke up early today and wanted to go back to sleep. However, he didn’t feel sleepy after waking up, so he decided to walk around as a patrol.

Usually, he would only patrol around these few houses, but today, for some reason, Zhao Hao suddenly wanted to go deeper. As soon as he walked, he saw the pond where Ye Xingchen had kept the fish last night.

Last night, Zhao Hao went out with Ye Xingchen and the others. The buckets of seawater and seafood were also brought back by Zhao Hao and Ye Xingchen.

But now, Zhao Hao stood by the pool and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

How could the fish in the pool be called fish? They were more like monsters.

The octopus in the pool was several meters long, and the small fish that were supposed to be small were now as big as half a person. They even had sharp teeth.

Zhao Hao was stunned for a few minutes. After he reacted, he immediately turned around and ran to find Ye Xingchen.

This scene was too strange, causing Zhao Hao to think that he was still in a dream and had not woken up. Only when he pinched his thigh until it was already purple did he finally believe that this was actually happening.

“What’s going on?!”

Zhao Hao was surprised and in disbelief. When the largest octopus, which was five meters long, swam toward him, he was so scared that he took a step back.

Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia were in disbelief, but Ye Xingchen quickly reacted.

There was no problem with the water in the pool. After all, there was no water shortage here. The first thing Ye Xingchen did after moving in was to get someone to check if there was any problem with the water source.

After all, the water supply outside had stopped. Only this safety fortress still had normal water supply.

However, at that time, the people Ye Xingchen had brought in had already tested it and told Ye Xingchen that it was indeed underground fresh water. There was no problem, so Ye Xingchen and the others dared to use it without worry.

After all, when Wang Mingcong first built this safety fortress, due to its geographical location, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build some equipment that could bypass the water treatment plant and directly extract fresh water from the ground. He even installed a filtering device.

Since there was no problem with the water in the pool, the problem could only be the sea salt that Ye Xingchen had mixed into the pool last night.

Ye Xingchen used to eat sea salt a lot. After all, he was also a standard second-generation heir, although he was not considered to be in the circle of the richest.

After eating a lot of steak, he was naturally familiar with sea salt. The best steak did not need any sauce. It only needed a little sea salt to taste the best.

This was also why Ye Xingchen could smell that something was wrong with the sea salt when he went out to buy it the night before.

The sea salt smelled a little different, which was why Ye Xingchen bought so much of it. He bought it for research, not for food.

“Maybe it’s the sea salt.”

Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia exchanged a look. Lin Sijia had some guesses. After all, Ye Xingchen said something about sea salt to Lin Sijia when he came back the night before yesterday.

Tian Qiu and Ye Zhou soon arrived as well. These two were relatives of Zhao Hao’s friends. Before this, they had been doing scientific research for the government. The reason why they had appeared at Ye Xingchen’s side was all because of the food that Ye Xingchen had given them.

The government was not at peace. After all, at this time, even if there were people in the government who were already researching various weather-resistant plant foods, they were still in the research stage. There was no actual production, so food was still extremely precious at this stage.

The precious food was limited. Those with some brains knew that the officials would definitely prioritize the distribution according to their levels.

Tian Qiu and Ye Zhou were just ordinary members of the research institute. Even if their abilities were outstanding, they had no backing.

Just when they were about to starve to death, it was Zhao Hao’s friends who gave them some of the food they had saved up, allowing them to survive.

Many of the researchers who did not have any backers had already starved or frozen to death at home.

After this incident, Tian Qiu and Ye Zhou were completely disappointed with the actions of the officials. Later on, they heard their relatives say that Ye Xingchen was recruiting talent, so the two of them thought of coming to Ye Xingchen’s place to follow him.

It was only when they arrived that the two of them realized that they could be considered colleagues..
