Chapter 135: A Super Cold Winter on the Way
After Leng Pan finished giving instructions of what to prepare for the first zombie-hunting mission of the family, she felt somewhat gratified.
She no longer treated this world as some book world and the people as paper people. These were people who could bleed and feel. Therefore, she wanted to care for her new found family.
Moreover, she had a nagging feeling that her memories of reading the book about the apocalypse might be misleading. Something was wrong, but she wasn’t in a hurry to find what. She had to get a little stronger first and also ensure that her family could defend themselves.
That way, if she went looking for answers and ended up provoking an enemy, she could at least protect herself and her family.
"You brought a lot of supplies this time. We won’t be able to worry about food for a while, is there anything else we need to search for apart from winter clothes?" Auntie Li asked while still packing some supplies for proper storage.
"Uncle, do we still have eggs at home? We brought back packages of preserved eggs and ultra heat treated milk, but no regular eggs. Are there still eggs we can use?" Leng Pan remembered the desserts their uncle usually makes and felt that they had overlooked something.
"There are no more eggs left. I thought that they are unavailable so I didn’t tell you guys about it. But seeing that you can still get so much meat at this time, then maybe you can get eggs too.
If you know where to find fresh eggs, please bring some back. I could also make more preserved eggs for the future in case they go bad.
I doubt now we can find chicken to lay eggs so let’s preserve as much as we can now that some things are still available." Uncle Li explained and Leng Pan felt that his suggestion made sense.
"Okay, after we are done collecting winter clothes, we can go to some farm houses that rears poultry to see if we can find eggs.
I know a couple of places that are within the city and the owners raise chickens for sale and others for laying eggs.
