Reborn Before the Frozen Apocalypse, I Stock Resources Worth Billions - Chapter 178: The Shore

The air outside was indeed very hot. Even though the air conditioner in the car had been turned on to the maximum, it could not stop the heat from seeping into the car.

“Hey, yes, this is the road. Just drive straight ahead.”

Without the thick snow, Ye Xingchen and the others were obviously traveling much faster. Driving on the ground and driving on the snow were two completely different things.

It wasn’t too long, just an hour’s drive, but just as Ye Xingchen and the others were about to reach the seaside, Ye Xingchen suddenly had a very strange feeling.

Their car windows were clearly closed, but for some reason, when they approached the beach, Ye Xingchen felt that the temperature outside seemed to have dropped a lot.

The car passed through a dark forest without lights. When the headlights shone forward, it felt as if there was a thick fog in front of them, swallowing all the light from the headlights.

Ye Xingchen felt a chill down his spine.

“Big Brother Zhao, turn back the way we came. Let’s take a detour.”

After going around the entire forest, the journey that should have taken dozens of minutes took more than an hour.

When Ye Xingchen got out of the car, he could not help but sigh when he saw the bustling scene in front of him.

Looking at the lights by the sea, there were many people along the beach with buckets in front of them. They were all filled with half-dead fish.

Ye Xingchen felt as if he had come to a night market.

If it wasn’t for the heat waves that he felt with his thermos-wrapped skin, Ye Xingchen would have had the illusion that this was a peaceful world and not the end of the world.

“Boss, how much is this fish?”

Ye Xingchen couldn’t help it either. He hadn’t eaten this kind of authentic seafood for a long time. Of course, there were many seafood products in the supplies he had stored back then, but they were mainly dry goods. Ye Xingchen only put the fish into the space after they were all processed.

After such a long time, Ye Xingchen looked at the half-dead fish that were still struggling in the water and suddenly had a long-lost feeling.

“Give me five buckets.”

The boss Ye Xingchen asked was a woman in her fifties. The fish she caught were not as big as those young men, so she basically did not sell a bucket of fish after staying there for a night.

“Okay, okay, okay. The price is five anti-inflammatory pills!”

It was also the first order that Aunt Wang had made tonight. These five buckets of fish would cost ten anti-inflammatory pills at other stalls, but this was her first order. Moreover, Ye Xingchen had wanted five buckets of fish, which was a big order.

Ye Xingchen was a little surprised when he heard that five buckets of fish only needed five anti-inflammatory pills. One had to know that he had seen in the surveillance video that an entire box of medicine could only be exchanged for one bucket.

Ye Xingchen put his hand into his pocket and took out a brand new box of anti-inflammatory medicine from his space. “Keep the change. Thank you, boss.”

Straightening up, Ye Xingchen looked around. Sure enough, he found a stall selling rat meat next to the fish stalls.

Ye Xingchen gave Zhao Hao and the others a look, signaling them to follow him. Then, he went to the stall selling rat meat first.

“Are these rats?”

Ye Xingchen pointed at the fat and smelly objects on the stall and asked the young man.

“Hehe, you know what’s good. I’ve been here all night, but those people don’t even know what’s good. They didn’t even come to ask. Yes, it’s a rat. It’s real. Moreover, it was still alive before I caught it.”

The rat meat seller sneakily approached Ye Xingchen. “What do you think? These rats are pretty amazing. I’ll give you a discount. I’ll give you one rat for a pack of cold medicine. How about it?”

Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows. A pack of medicine for a rat? Why was this rat so much more expensive than seafood?

“Hey, why is your rat so expensive? I just bought seafood and it’s only one anti-inflammatory pill per bucket. You want a pack of cold medicine for your rat?”

“Damn, how can those stinky fish and rotten prawns compare to my big rats? I’ll tell you in secret that buying my rat is really not a loss. Those seafood are just food. Other than filling your stomach, they’re useless. I see that you guys are dressed so well, so you definitely don’t lack food.”

“Let me show you what’s special about this mouse of mine.”

After saying that, the young man picked up a fat rat from his stall and cut off the rat’s head.

Unexpectedly, the young man actually took out a rock the size of a peanut from the rat’s brain.

It might not be appropriate to call it a rock, because the object was diamond-shaped and transparent. The young man picked up a rag and wrapped it inside. He carefully wiped away the blood and brain matter attached to it.

“Do you know what this is?”

Ye Xingchen’s eyes were full of curiosity. He looked at the crystal-like thing that the young man was holding and shook his head.

He really didn’t know what it was. He had never seen it before. It looked like a crystal, but it was different from a crystal.

And why would there be a crystal in the rat’s head?

“This thing is a treasure. It’s a good thing. It can strengthen the body. Not only can it strengthen the body, but it’s also very magical. But actually, more than a week ago, I was so skinny that I was only skin and bones.”

“I was so hungry that I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I caught a rat and ate it.”

“At first, I thought I had bitten a rock, but miraculously, after I ate that rat, I actually felt like I was alive again. The flesh that I had lost from hunger also grew back.”

“Aiya, I don’t know how to explain this to you. How about this? You can just buy two and try them out. It’s really not expensive. It’s really worth it. Don’t doubt me.”

It wasn’t that Ye Xingchen didn’t believe him. After he said that he had lived again, Ye Xingchen even planned to buy two big rats for Lin Sijia to study.

He had been reborn. Ye Xingchen was the person who had been reborn.

For some reason, when Ye Xingchen heard this, he inexplicably thought of the novels he had read before.

After he was reborn, he downloaded a lot of doomsday-related TV shows and novels in one go..
