Chapter 417
Zhou Shuwan pointed to a place not far away and said, "Wait, I'll go tell Chen Fen and the others."
Qi Mingyu and Zhou Jianghai nodded.
Qi Mingyu was worried, so he slowed down and walked with her.
Chen Fen's team also had a good harvest. They caught more than a dozen big cod in the afternoon and their faces were filled with joy.
Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be still unsatisfied.
"Sister Fen, Sister Hong, Jiajia, we're going back first."
Zhou Shuwan walked up to them and raised the bucket in his hand.
Chen Fen raised her head and said with a smile, "Thanks to your drilling rig today, Wanwan, thank you so much!" She rubbed her hands and exhaled a breath of white air.
Zhang Jia also came over and nodded in gratitude, "Yes, Wanwan, you've been a great help. I'll definitely invite you to our place for grilled fish tomorrow!"
"We're all family, why are you being polite?" Zhou Shuwan smiled and warned, "It's too dangerous after dark. You should pack up and go back early. It's getting dark."
"Okay, we're getting ready to leave too." Chen Fen responded, then turned around and called for the team members to assemble.
"Then let's go together."
Both sides gained something and returned with buckets full of fish. Although they were close to the base, there was no guarantee that something would happen.
Zhou Shuwan came to find Chen Fen's team with the same intention, so he smiled and agreed. Together with his family, he walked together with Chen Fen's team and walked back along the ice.
As night falls, the temperature drops sharply and the cold wind howls, making people shiver.
Qi Mingyu walked in front to lead the way, Zhou Jianghai and Mu Mu walked in the middle, Zhou Shuwan and Zhang Jia walked at the end, chatting and laughing with the people in Chen Fen's team.
"I've been to coastal cities before and eaten a lot of seafood," Zhang Jia said with a hint of nostalgia. "Authentic cod is tender, delicious, and highly nutritious. I wonder what the cod from Jingyun Lake tastes like."
Chen Fen became interested. "Real cod live in the deep sea, and there are many species, including common Atlantic cod and Pacific cod. They prefer cold waters, have white meat, and are rich in protein and vitamins. They can be cooked in many ways, such as pan-frying, deep-frying, grilling, and boiling. They are delicious no matter how you cook them."
Zhou Shuwan and the others all laughed: "As expected of a southerner, he knows a lot about eating fish."
Chen Fen said, "We'll catch some more tomorrow and invite you all to grilled fish! We southerners are the best at making grilled fish!"
"Okay, then we'll wait!" Zhou Shuwan agreed happily, with a smile on his face.
Halfway through the journey, Zhou Shuwan noticed several figures following them stealthily, neither too far nor too close, always keeping a distance.
Those people were wearing air-conditioned clothes, so their faces couldn't be seen clearly, but it made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
She calmly quickened her pace, approached Qi Mingyu, and whispered, "Someone is following us."
Qi Ming frowned, nodded slightly, and tightened his grip on the bow and arrow.
He had noticed it a long time ago, but these people had not taken any further action, so he was also observing.
Chen Fen had also noticed those sneaky figures a long time ago.
Everyone returned to the base together, but the dozen or so people behind them kept wandering around, always staying at a distance from them.
Chen Fen narrowed her eyes and gestured to the team members behind her. The well-trained team members immediately became alert and tightened their weapons.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
When those who were following them saw that they had been discovered, they no longer hid and quickened their pace to approach Zhou Shuwan and the others.
In the dim light, you can see that they are holding weapons such as sticks.
Chen Fen sneered, drew his bow and arrow, his movements smooth and seamless.
A sharp arrow flew through the air and hit one of them in the thigh.
The man screamed and fell to the ice.
The others were visibly stunned when they saw this. They had obviously not expected Chen Fen's archery skills to be so superb. They looked at each other, and for a moment, they dared not move forward.
Chen Fen nocked another arrow, aimed at another person, and said in a cold tone, "If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
This place is too close to the base. These people were reluctant to leave, but also unwilling to engage in a fierce confrontation, so as not to attract the base's security team. Seeing Chen Fen's extraordinary moves, they no longer dared to stay. They supported the injured person and crawled away.
"Sister Fen, you have great archery skills!" Zhou Shuwan praised sincerely.
Chen Fen smiled and put away his bow and arrow. "It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
Sister Hong snorted coldly: "This world is really not peaceful. You have to be careful wherever you go."
Zhou Shuwan nodded, agreeing deeply: "Yes, so we have to be careful everywhere."
After returning safely to the base, the two sides parted ways at the fork in the road.
"See you tomorrow!" Zhou Shuwan smiled and waved goodbye.
Chen Fen also smiled and waved, "See you tomorrow, there will be no more!"
When they returned home, Grandma Pang and Zhong Tiyun were very happy to see the cod they brought back.
"So many fish!" Grandma Pang smiled from ear to ear, "We can have a good meal tonight!"
Zhong Tiyun took the bucket and carefully examined the cod inside, nodding repeatedly, "It's really big, the meat must be very plump!"
In the evening, I made two kinds of cod: pan-fried cod and steamed cod.
"It's delicious!" Grandma Pang, also from the south, loves fish and was full of praise for the cod. "This fish is even more tender than chicken!"
During the meal, Qi Mingyu suggested, "Wanwan and I will go to Jingyun Lake again tonight. This time we won't fish, but use a fishing net."
They wanted to use this method during the day, but Jingyun Lake was crowded at that time, so they planned to act at night.
Although the temperature is extremely cold, there is no need to worry because there are air-conditioned clothes.
Zhou Jianghai put down his chopsticks and agreed, "Using a fishing net is more efficient and you can catch a lot at a time. But I'm worried about you two going alone, so I'll go with you."
He looked at Mu Mu, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mu Mu will go with us."
The last time Mu Mu captured Zhao Lijuan, the Zhou family was very surprised. It turned out that without them realizing it, the little boy who still needed protection had grown into a strong 17-year-old boy!
Then, his training should be strengthened so that he can gradually master the knowledge necessary for the end times and become as good as his sister and brother-in-law!
No, I can’t hide him under my wings anymore!
Zhong Tiyun was stunned, then nodded: "Okay, then Mu Mu will go with you."
She wanted to go too, but Grandma Pang was worried about her being alone at home, so she decided not to go.
"Ok, deal!"
"You must be careful." Zhong Tiyun was very worried.
The two most frightening things about extremely cold weather are the cold and the sudden snowstorm that blocks vision, making it impossible for people to find their way home and freeze to death in the snow.
After dinner, everyone made some preparations and set off again.
Since you are going out at night, you must consider what to do if you encounter a snowstorm.
