Chapter 356: Chapter 354: Abundant Harvest Chapter 356: Chapter 354: Abundant Harvest “Caught something?” Everyone looked puzzled, but still sprang to their feet like startled birds.

A few warriors instinctively grabbed submachine guns in their hands.

Song Qian’s brows twisted, then he quickly realized, turned to Jiang Yan with delight and said:
“It must be Ye Qing’s hunting trap. We’ve got a catch.”

After saying that, he adjusted his collar and scarf and strode out of the house.

Jiang Yan and Qin Lang quickly followed behind him.

The others also wanted to go out and take a look, but the bone-chilling cold wind scared them back as they reached the door.

The snowflakes falling outside the house were no longer fluffy like goose feathers; saying they were as big as palms wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Just one or two landing on the face would cause a stinging pain.

Watching the fully armed figures wade through the snow with uneven steps, an elder couldn’t help but click his tongue, “Youth is such an advantage…”

“It’s not just about being young…” Jiang Ye looked thoughtfully at Jiang Yan’s retreating figure.

Soon, the figures of Jiang Yan and Qin Lang disappeared into the wind and snow.

Before long, several people emerged again, becoming clearer and clearer, and everyone excitedly got up and crowded at the door.

Song Qian walked at the front, each of his hands carrying a Mutated Snow Goose.

Qin Lang was carrying a rabbit.

Sun Jingtao had nothing in his hands but a military shovel.

He must have stayed outside for too long; his steps looked very stiff.

As for Jiang Yan, who was wearing Snow Goggles, she was holding a pile of Ye Qing’s weapons.

“Wow! A big haul!”

“Great! There really is light at the end of the tunnel!”

“…”

Although it wasn’t clear what they had caught, it was evident they had a bountiful harvest.

“Honey!” Seeing that Sun Jingtao was already staggering, Su Dai immediately braved the cold and rushed out to him.

“What’s that on Ye’s shoulder?” a warrior holding a telescope exclaimed as he looked at something on Ye Qing’s shoulder.

It looked like he was carrying a snake, but that snake was almost as thick as a water bucket.

To be precise, it should be called a python.

“Let me see!” Someone beside snatched the telescope and was instantly dumbfounded, lost for words.

They were shocked by the size of the python and also by Ye Qing’s strength.

After the apocalypse, many animals mutated, becoming terrifyingly huge.

But the animals they usually saw were rats and leeches and the like.

Snakes, on the other hand, were rarely encountered.

The reason is simple: snakes are ectothermic, capable of adjusting their body temperature with the ambient temperature.

Because of this trait, many institutes secretly started buying snakes at the onset of the apocalypse, and they only bought live ones.

This caused the snake population to plummet rapidly.

The giant python that Ye Qing had hunted was rare and hardly ever seen.

However, in everyone’s eyes now, this was not just a python – it was their food, both delicious and nutritious.

The group stepped into the house one after another.

The previously oppressive and tense atmosphere in the house instantly became lively with the arrival of the food.

“Bro Ye, you’re so badass!” A warrior shot an envious stare at Ye Qing.

“This python, my goodness!” Another warrior approached, staring at the python’s somewhat triangular head, shocked for a long while.

Lin Xiaohui, who had always been afraid of snakes, shrank back at the sight of its barrel-thick body, shuddering as she said:
“This snake, it won’t self-dissolve like those Mutated Snow Wolves, will it…”

Everyone heard this, and each took a sharp intake of breath.

Indeed, with the lesson learned from those Mutated Snow Wolves, their craving suddenly lessened.

“Doctor, what do you think?” Song Qian looked towards Song Haitao and the others.

These scientists, being protected, not only specialized in propulsion and astronautics; there must also be botanists and zoologists among them.

It’s just that there hadn’t been time for introductions in the urgency of the situation.

An elder had heard about the self-dissolving corpses of the Snow Wolves. He furrowed his brows slightly and spoke:
“I suggest we first survive tonight before discussing. I’m afraid that the nano-virus might also be implanted in these animals.”

Kong Wu cursed again, “These people are so damn malicious, coming up with such a virus! I curse them to die without a place to be buried!”

“Actually, the initial research of the nano-virus was for detoxification,” said the elder as he rubbed his freezing hands.

Everyone was stunned: “Detoxification?”

The elder sighed:
“Nano-viruses spread fast and have bacteriophage properties, so they’re very prominent and obvious in detoxification. It’s just a pity that these people, they have lost their conscience.”

“They don’t deserve to be scientific researchers.”
