Stocking up for the end of the world: Erha took me and my best friend to become well-off

"What about the people in those buildings?" someone asked.

Leng Yi shook his head. "We can't care about so many things. We can only protect our own people first. Let's go back to the dormitory first!"

“What about these catfish carcasses?”

They originally came out to clean up the streets, but just after they dealt with the human bodies, so many fish carcasses appeared.

Besides, these fish are so big, more than a hundred of them, piled up like a mountain. Where can we dump them?

"Can these fish be eaten?" someone asked.

So many fish are meat. One fish weighs two or three hundred kilograms, and a hundred fish weigh at least tens of thousands of kilograms.

"No way? And this fish is so disgusting, who would eat it?"

"They eat people. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit."

"Look at the liquid on them. It's all corrosive. If you eat it, won't it corrode your intestines?"

"You definitely can't eat it."

Leng Yi was also thinking about how to deal with these fish when someone came over with a flamethrower.

Those catfish seemed to be very afraid of fire like red ants. When the fire was sprayed on them, they would catch fire and emit a burnt smell.

One catfish was so angry because of the fire that it didn't run away but instead pounced on the flamethrower.

The flamethrower was wearing a heavy metal suit, but it was easily scratched by the catfish's claws. The catfish endured the pain of the burn and opened its mouth to bite the man.

A flamethrower nearby was frightened and panicked. He raised his flamethrower and sprayed it at them. The flamethrower was also burned. He let out a shrill scream and rolled on the ground with his whole body on fire.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden accident. Looking at the man wailing in pain, no one dared to step forward to rescue him.

"Let's go!" Leng Yi waved to the people behind him, and everyone followed him.

The other catfishes stopped and stared at this side blankly, as if they were also thinking.

In a moment, they all ran towards the flamethrower.

"Hurry!" Leng Yi shouted, and several psychics ran to the flamethrowers to protect them.

With the protection of the psychics, they were no longer afraid. They chased the catfish and soon burned a large number of them to death.

The other dozen or so urban management officers did not dare to leave too far, for fear that they would be attacked by catfish if they left, so they stayed beside Leng Yi and the others, so that they would not stand by and watch if a catfish attacked them.

Wang Hao simply led everyone to dig up the crystal cores again. The crystal cores of the catfish that were burned to death were not destroyed, so many more were dug out.

Under the protection of the psychic, the flamethrower burned countless catfish to death. The catfish seemed to finally sense the crisis and retreated to every corner. After a while, they retreated completely without a single catfish left.

Leng Yi and his friends wanted to chase them and see where they retreated to, but the catfish retreated too scattered to be tracked. They only saw some of them entering the sewers, some going under the bridge, and some going into abandoned buildings, and then they all disappeared in an instant.

Leng Yi did not chase after them anymore and helped dig the catfish's crystal cores. They dug more than a thousand of them.

The flamethrowers didn't know what they were doing at first, but when they saw them digging out something shiny, they immediately reported the situation to the Zeng family.

Leng Yi doesn't care, he'll dig it out first.

After all the crystal cores were dug out, all the fish were piled together, poured with gasoline, and then burned the mountain of catfish carcasses.

These fish have mutated and may carry a large number of pathogens, so they cannot be buried at all. Burning them is the safest option.

Leng Yi divided the crystal cores into three parts, each of them took a few hundred, and returned to the dormitory.

When they got home, Yang Qing saw that the two were covered in blood again and asked hurriedly, "Are there catfish again today? It's still daytime."

"Well, a lot of them came out from nowhere and we were busy all morning." Leng Yi said.

"Are you all okay?" Yang Qing asked hurriedly, then looked at Wang Hao.

"We're fine, sister-in-law." Wang Hao smiled, "We killed a lot of catfish today and dug up more than a thousand crystal cores."

"So many?" Yang Qing was surprised.

Leng Yi nodded, "But I shared some of it with others. Today, thanks to the help of the earth-type psychic on the third floor and another wood-type psychic, I would not be able to handle it alone."

"Yes, the three of them protected more than a dozen of us, otherwise we ordinary people might have all died." Wang Hao said.

"Go take a shower quickly. I've cooked some food and you can eat after you take a shower." Yang Qing said.

In fact, she could have gone to help, but Leng Yi was reluctant to let her go, worried that he would be too busy to take care of her, so it would be safer for her to stay in the dormitory.

Even if she couldn't defend the dormitory, she had her own space, and she could hide in it at any time, so there was no need to worry.

If you are outside, it is not so convenient.

After the two finished taking a shower and the three were eating, there was a knock on the door. Several young men came with gifts and said that they were lucky today thanks to Leng Yi and the two psychics, otherwise they would have been dead.

That was just some food and drinks, and some dry food. As urban management officers, they usually had some benefits, so Leng Yi accepted them all without any hesitation.

After all, this is someone else's thoughtful gesture, and they really come here to express their gratitude sincerely.

"I just realized today that this job is quite meaningful." Leng Yi said.

Although I haven’t helped many people, being able to survive in this apocalypse is the biggest reward.

"It's just that a lot of people died today, and many buildings are empty." Wang Hao sighed, "It's really too difficult for ordinary people to survive."

"But you killed so many catfish today, and you got more than a thousand light crystal cores? How did you do it?" Yang Qing asked.

"At the beginning, Leng Yi and the other three only killed more than a hundred of them with us. Later, the flamethrowers sent by the Zeng family burned many of them to death." Wang Hao said.

"Are they afraid of fire too?" Yang Qing asked.

"Well, like those red ants, they are afraid of fire, but they are much more tenacious than red ants and can attack before being burned to death. And their claws are surprisingly sharp. I didn't notice it before until a catfish scratched the flamethrower's metal protective suit today." Leng Yi said.

"Then we must be more careful next time." Yang Qing said, frowning again, "Did they retreat because of the fire?"

"That's right. After seeing so many of their companions burned to death, they must be scared, right?" Wang Hao said as a matter of course.

"Have you thought of something?" Leng Yi looked at Yang Qing.

"I suspect they died not because of the fire, but because they found that you discovered their secrets and dug out their crystal cores." Yang Qing said.

The two were silent for a moment, and Wang Hao slammed the table, "Fuck, it's really possible, those fish are almost spirits, they really have intelligence."

"If they find out that their secret has been discovered by humans, they will definitely do everything they can to snatch their crystal cores, so they are also afraid?" Leng Yi thought.

If that's true, they're pretty smart.

However, it is true, just like the centipedes and snakes before, when people knew they could be exchanged for food, they caught them at all costs, and they were almost extinct in a few days.

If people knew that crystal cores were so useful and could be sold at a high price, many people would probably go and catch fish regardless of their lives.

Humans are actually more terrifying than any other creatures.
