It was almost noon, Gao Fei and others had basically cleared away the monsters in this area, and sent a letter to the headquarters informing them that the area was safe and could be used by fire fighters and rescue personnel.
Soon after, volunteers from public welfare organizations came by boat along the safe route provided by the special police and delivered bread, milk, mineral water, ham sausages, luncheon meat and compressed biscuits to the disaster-stricken residents in the old city. Emergency food that satisfies hunger without needing to heat or cook.
While the special police officers were on their lunch break, residents living nearby spontaneously came to express their condolences.
Jiang Feng's parents also came, carrying a bunch of bananas.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt!"
Gao Fei took the banana from his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law and distributed it to his colleagues.
Father Jiang rolled up his trouser legs and waded into the water to get close to the mutated catfish with its belly turned white. He looked up and down and marveled.
"Hey! Look at this fish, it's so big, it's probably over two thousand kilograms!"
"The dorsal fin alone is as big as a banana leaf!"
Neighbors also came around and took photos of the big fish with their mobile phones and posted them on WeChat to show off.
Jiang Feng first pretended to chat with his mother for a few words, but accidentally saw his father happily chatting with the neighbors. He came over with curiosity and found out that they were discussing how to stew this big fish to make it delicious.
"Dad... no, uncle! I don't want to eat this fish!"
Jiang Feng couldn't laugh or cry.
"Why can't you eat it? Is the meat too old?" Father Jiang asked.
"It's not a matter of tender meat, it's a mutated creature!"
"Oh! I understand!" Jiang's father slapped his forehead, "Genetically modified, right? No wonder he grew so big! It's another American conspiracy!"
"It's not a genetically modified issue..."
"Then it's a matter of cooking method!" Jiang's father said to himself, "The meat of large fish is too tough to be chewed directly. You can learn from the southern method, cook a pot of white porridge, cut fish fillets, and cook it on the stove."
Jiang Feng swallowed his saliva when he heard it and couldn't help but interrupt: "Then it has to be cut into very thin fillets. Of course it can't be too thin. If it's too thin, it won't taste. It requires knife skills."
"This is hard for me. I'm not very good at swordsmanship." Father Jiang scratched his head.
"My boyfriend comes from a Sichuan cuisine family and is very good at knife skills. I'll introduce him to you later."
"Marry a husband who can cook, and you will be blessed! But the fish must be eaten fresh. What do you think about making it into meatballs?"
"I think it's okay! Make it into fish and meatballs and stew it into tofu soup."
"Hey! It sounds exciting! Little comrade, you really know how to eat!"
"Of course! However, making fish balls is a physical job."
"You have to use a rolling pin to pound it carefully. This doesn't require knife skills, so I'm very good at it!" Jiang's father showed a confident smile.
"Lao Jiang, what are you talking about?" Jiang's mother came over and asked.
"This little comrade and I will discuss how to cook fish deliciously," Father Jiang said cheerfully.
Jiang Feng raised his hand to his forehead, feeling secretly ashamed.
She had not planned to talk about this, but her father unknowingly took the subject away.
"Comrade, judging by your accent, you are also a local."
Jiang's mother curiously looked at her unknown daughter who was face to face.
"My hometown is right here."
Although protected by the disguise mask, Jiang Feng still felt a little guilty when facing his mother's burning gaze and did not dare to raise his head to look at her.
"Hey! What a coincidence! Maybe I recognize your parents! Girl, what's your last name?"
"My surname is... Auntie, my surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Yu!"
Jiang Feng was secretly proud of his quick wit.
"It's raining?" Jiang's mother was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile on her face: "Very good, very good, just... quite appropriate! Xiaoxia, please add us on WeChat!"
"That's not necessary..."
"Come on, come on! Online wool shopping group, more people are more powerful! If there are any red envelopes, discounts and other activities, we can gather wool together!
Hearing the words "harvesting wool", Comrade Xiao Jiang's economical genes couldn't help but tremble.
Fortunately, reason prevailed in the end, and she declined her mother's warm invitation and ran away.
As soon as Gao Fei peeled a banana, he received a message notification.
After swallowing the banana in two mouthfuls, he opened the astrolabe and took a look. Sure enough, it was the analysis report sent by the Vinda Laboratory.
The previously reported mutated catfish has a challenge level of 4, a health value of 115, and its attributes are: strength 23, agility 16, constitution 18, intelligence 1, perception 14, and charm 7.
Mutated catfish are large aquatic creatures that can survive in the air for at least an hour out of the water.
This monster has four talents: "Strength", "Grab", "Intuitive Dodge" and "Multiple Attacks".
In addition to charging and biting, the mutant catfish is also good at entangling its prey with its flexible whiskers, dragging it to its mouth, and swallowing it whole.
In terms of defense, the mutant catfish's tough skin is equivalent to level 6 natural armor, and the mucus secreted on its body surface makes physical attacks against it disadvantageous.
The mutant catfish was killed and reported first by Gao Fei and Jiang Feng, but not only the two of them, other members of Team 05 also received rewards equivalent to three times the experience points of the mutant catfish!
A monster with a challenge level of 4 has an experience value of 1100. Triple it is 3300. It is more experience than everyone has accumulated by killing monsters this morning. It can be described as a windfall!
At the end of the lunch break, Jiang's mother brought a group of anxious-looking middle-aged women to the special police's temporary station. As soon as they entered the door, they called "Xiao Xia."
When Gao Fei saw Jiang Feng concentrating on cooking, he winked at her: "Comrade Xia Yu, Auntie has something to do with you!"
"What Xia Yu? Well... by the way, I am Xia Yu!"
Jiang Feng finally reacted and quickly stuffed chocolate and half a banana into his mouth. With his cheeks bulging, he ran to find "Auntie" like a hamster.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Jiang Feng ran back again, still holding his mother's cell phone.
"My mother... er, the child of my aunt's colleague went to the mall for shopping in the morning. Not long after arriving at the mall, it rained heavily again. The water level rose and the road was blocked, making it impossible to get out."
Jiang Feng skillfully played with his mother's mobile phone and played a short video from WeChat Moments for him to watch.
"This is the largest shopping mall in the West District. It was still flooded last night. It just opened for business in the morning, and it was flooded again not long after."
"The staff of the mall, as well as many customers, are trapped inside. I heard that monsters also broke into the mall with the flood. It is now a mess!"
"Auntie, you want us to help rescue the people trapped in the mall?" Gao Fei asked his girlfriend.
Jiang Feng nodded, with a strange look on his face. He lowered his voice and said in his ear: "This distress video someone sent to my mother seems to have a familiar face in it..."
"Who is it?"
"look by youself."
Jiang Feng dragged the video progress bar and stopped it at one frame.
Gao Fei took a closer look and saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
