Cambrian Returns: A Couple Stocks Up to Survive in the End of the World!

Seeing that the New Year was coming in half a month, everyone was still immersed in meditation. Zhou Jiaoyang and Yan Jin had to check in one by one and invite everyone to their home to discuss the New Year.

Unexpectedly, they had just started, and everyone was chatting among themselves.

"Isn't it half a month before the Chinese New Year? Why are you so anxious?"

"It's just that now is no better than before. Where is there for us to buy New Year's goods?"

"I can even imagine what dishes will be eaten during the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Eat those? Hey... I have prepared so many supplies, but none of them are fresh."

"Isn't it the same at my house?"

"Hey...it's like we're different."

"There must be meat dishes for the New Year, vacuum-packed bacon, smoked chicken and duck, and fish every year. Shredded squid is also fish. If not, a certain brand of dried fish is also good, and it can be poured into a dish. .”

"You only have four dishes here. You should at least prepare a table with ten dishes."

"That's so simple. Stir-fry a plate of peanuts, mix with some shredded kelp, steam a bowl of egg custard, steam a bowl of pumpkin. I also have some potatoes at home, cut them into shreds with the bacon and make a soup. Is that almost done?"

"This is only nine, only one."

"There's still one left, so let's put the salted duck eggs on the plate. Alas... there are so many dishes, but there is no vegetable."

"Isn't pickled mustard a vegetable?"

"Yes, you can also put out a plate of pickled mustard."

The four members of the Yan family had no chance to interrupt. They invited everyone over. Their original intention was to ask everyone if they would celebrate the New Year together or something. There was no need to ask now. They had no intention of celebrating the New Year together.

When talking about vegetables, everyone was quiet for a while. Zhou Jiaoyang just wanted to say that she had collected dried pickled vegetables, which can be eaten by soaking them in water, and she could give some to everyone.

But before she could speak, everyone changed the topic.

"Have you had any results from your recent meditation?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Xiang Ke looked at everyone with a proud smile.

Yan Lei was shocked and asked: "Ake, do you have feelings?"

Xiang Yan said proudly: "It's not a feeling, it's that I have awakened my powers."

The others were really shocked this time.

Yan Jin and Zhou Jiaoyang were not surprised. Xiang Yan had already had signs of awakening, but he did not know how to absorb and release supernatural powers, and he did not have the method of meditation. The energy that penetrated his body did not escape from the body again. , which is to strengthen bones and flesh.

Now that he has the method of meditation, wouldn't he meditate to create the superpower core?
The young people were all envious and jealous that he had awakened his powers in advance, and asked him about the process of awakening his powers. Then they rushed back to their homes to continue meditating, leaving only a group of old men and ladies still at Yan's house.

A group of old people were at home. It was too noisy and they couldn't meditate even if they stayed at home. Zhou Jiaoyang and Yan Jin looked at each other and came to the conclusion to go out.

So Yan Jin said loudly to the two elders: "Mom, Dad, Yangyang and I will go out and come back before dark."

Father Yan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Go, go, be safe."

After arriving downstairs, Zhou Jiaoyang asked, "Where are we going?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Zhou Jiaoyang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go to the city to have a look." Since she didn't have to go underwater to collect supplies, she hasn't been to the city again. Now she knows everything about the city from A Jin heard about it.

"Okay, let's go to the city."

The weather was nice in the morning, and there were many people in the community active in the square.

Seeing the two people wearing bright clothes, they looked at them like monsters.

The water pipes are blocked and there is no running water now. How come these people are still so clean?

They now have to go to a pond behind the community to carry water back home. Although it is not far from their community, it is still 700 meters away. It is a lot of effort to carry it back. If they want to wash clothes, they can only take it. I went to the pond to wash myself, but it was not peaceful now and no one dared to go there alone.

Water fetching must be carried out in teams of at least twenty people.

The difference between the two aroused many people's doubts, and also attracted people with malicious intentions to follow them.

The two walked out of the community. As soon as Zhou Jiaoyang wanted to get a vehicle out, Yan Jin grabbed her and stopped her movement.

Zhou Jiaoyang looked at him confused.

"Someone is following us." Yan Jin said in a message.

Zhou Jiaoyang was surprised. Even if she was not a person with mental powers, she was still a person with powers that surpassed ordinary people. She didn't find anyone following them. The person following them was quite powerful.

Yan Jin saw her rolling eyes and guessed what she was thinking by using his brain.

A smile flashed in his eyes and he continued to transmit, "Those people are still several hundred meters away. Isn't it normal that you can't sense them?"

Zhou Jiaoyang nodded suddenly, it made sense.

"Let's go ahead and see what they want to do with us."

Zhou Jiaoyang took Yan Jin's arm with his back and leaned on him with most of his body as he walked forward.

The softness in Yan Jin's eyes flashed across his eyes. He liked the way Yangyang relied on him, but his wife was too capable to be like a little bird.

Those people were getting closer and closer to them, until the two of them reached the forest aside, the people who were following them rushed out and surrounded them.

There were six people surrounding them. Zhou Jiaoyang saw that the six people were unfamiliar faces. She had never seen them before. Judging from their banditry, she guessed that they were the ones who moved here after the water receded.

Zhou Jiaoyang didn't know these people, but Yan Jin was very familiar with them.

These people were outsiders who moved to the community half a month ago. This group of outsiders formed a mercenary team of their own.

Yes, private mercenary teams are starting to appear now.

When they first moved to the community, there were more than 30 mercenaries in the mercenary team, and the people in front of them were only six of them.

After arriving at the community, the group of people actively recruited new team members in the community. The team members came from outsiders who moved in after the water receded like them.

The arrival of the mercenary team made the community even more chaotic, because this group of mercenaries were not good people in the first place. They burned, killed, looted, and then recruited a group of people with little supplies to join the team. So you can imagine this mercenary team. What will happen to the quality of the team?

After that, the mercenary team's behavior became even more unscrupulous.

Of course, they are not very short of supplies yet, and have not gone so far as to rob supplies from the homes of residents in the community. They are just collecting supplies outside if they encounter a good-looking woman who will snatch them back, or when they meet someone who has collected supplies. He would go on a robbery, and it was normal for him to kill a few people during the robbery.

Because this group of people had not really caused trouble in the community, Yan Jin ignored them.

Hmm. If he causes trouble in the community, as long as he doesn't provoke them, he probably won't care.
