Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 234 - 226: Leisurely Post-Apocalyptic Life

This damn weather, it really is getting hot.

Li Yu and the others mainly drink water from the well, while the water from Mountain Pond is mainly used for irrigating crops.

One day, Li Yu went swimming at Mountain Pond with Dapao and the others.

It was so hot that as soon as they stepped out of the room, they were drenched in sweat.

Thus, often times, Li Yu would go swimming in Mountain Pond with Yang Tianlong and Dapao.

"Holy shit, Brother Yu, I just felt a huge fish!" Dapao surfaced from the water and shouted loudly.

"Hm? How big?" Li Yu laughed, swimming backstroke and looking up at the sky as he spoke.

"It might be a water ghost," Li Tie frowned, somewhat worried.

"Water ghost? Hahaha, how could that be!" Li Hang laughed.

Many ponds or reservoirs actually don't like having big fish, as these big fish eat the smaller ones.

When big fish eat the smaller ones, it actually results in a significant loss for them.

But big fish are very cunning, often difficult to catch.

It is also now that the water level isn't as deep as before, currently just barely under 6 meters.

"Big fish?" Li Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly swam out of Mountain Pond.

Big fish are useless, might as well slaughter them and eat them.

These days, they're almost getting sick of bland food.

Just squeezed peanut oil, fry the big fish with it. Later, this big fish can be divided into many portions.

One portion can be used for pickling, one portion for braised fish, one portion for deep frying…

A little drink in the evening would pair nicely.

That would be simply delightful.

Recently, due to the drought, everyone's meals have worsened.

Let's do this!

Thinking this, Li Yu said to Dapao who was still swimming, "Are you sure it's a big fish? How big?"

"Definitely. It just swam past me, I swear it's at least 1.5 meters!" Dapao said.

That big!?

Everyone was somewhat skeptical, especially Li Hang. He often came here to swim and he had never seen it.

Let's try.

Li Yu thought for a bit and had Li Tie and Li Gang get two boats, then placed a big net between them, about ten meters long.

Additionally, Dapao, Li Hang, Li Yu, and Yang Tianlong coordinated.

Li Yu took some fish feed from home and sprinkled half a bucket down.

This fish feed, which had always been stockpiled because Grandpa would go up the mountain to cut grass to feed, was now finally being used.

As the dry season arrived, although there was still some grass, it wasn't much, and the fish were probably pretty hungry.

The moment the fish feed was scattered, many fish could be seen swimming towards the net.

The water sounded with splashing.

The net sank, and with the reflections of the setting sun, the water surface sparkled.

Everyone waited for a while, but still did not see any big fish, only some smaller ones.

The biggest one they saw was only around ten pounds.

Li Yu thought for a moment and threw all the remaining fish feed in the bucket towards the net.

Another tumbling occurred.

Just as Li Yu was about to give up hope.

Suddenly!

From not too far away, a huge surge occurred.

This surge made everyone incredibly excited; this had to be a big fish!

The big fish instantly entered the net, and it seemed to even flip over, not quite clear from the surface of Mountain Pond, but anyone with sharp eyes could tell, this fish was definitely not small.

As they watched the big fish devouring clumps of fish feed, by now the big fish was already in the center of the net.

Li Yu hurriedly shouted, "Quick, pull up the net!"

The others then snapped out of their daze.

Several people took a corner each and quickly lifted the net.

The net slowly rose, and the large fish inside was strikingly conspicuous.

In the instant it emerged from the water, Li Yu clearly saw that this fish was definitely more than 1.5 meters long. It looked like it weighed at least 200 kilograms; so fat.

No wonder when his family used to breed fish, they always found very little harvest every year.

So, you are the main culprit.

In the fishing net, there wasn't just this large fish, but also a scattering of other smaller fish.

At this moment, as the fishing net was lifted, the large fish slowly surfaced,

seeming to realize something, the cunning old fish fiercely thrashed its fins.

It was very strong.

Li Gang over there, being the closest to the large fish, almost lost grip on his fishing net due to its flicking and nearly let go.

"Hold tight. Xiao Hang, Dapao, you two slide the boat to the shore. We might not handle this fish in the water!" Li Yu shouted.

With everyone's combined effort, even though the fish was powerful, it still couldn't escape under the strong fishing net.

Soon, everyone reached the shore and pulled the fish onto the bank.

Li Yu noticed that the fishing net had torn a hole and was somewhat surprised, as the fishing net was specially made, yet it still got ripped.

Looks like it needs mending soon.

Everyone hauled the large fish onto the shore.

The large fish had extraordinarily large eyes and an open mouth, desperately gasping for air.

Yang Tianlong suddenly said, "I heard that big fish have spiritual energy. It's not easy for this fish to grow this big."

Li Yu glanced at Yang Tianlong and said, "Then don't eat it later!"

Yang Tianlong immediately became anxious and said, "Having spiritual energy would be great for nourishing our bodies. Hehehe."

Li Yu gave him a look; this big fish must have eaten plenty of smaller fish.

Li Hang brought a scale, weighed it, 218 kilograms.

Its length was a full 2.14 meters.

This was the largest freshwater fish anyone present had ever seen.

Hmm. Should taste great.

This is a post-apocalyptic world!

While still gasping, Li Yu and Li Tie carried the fish back to the residential area.

Everyone, bare-chested, followed behind Li Yu and the group.

The group, as if generals who had just won a battle, strode off proudly.

On the way, they ran into Third Uncle who was patrolling and he too was somewhat surprised.

This is, damn, too big.

This fish is huge.

Soon, the news that Li Yu and his group had caught a big fish spread throughout the entire base.

Many people from the base came to watch.

When Li Suxin saw the large fish, her kind-hearted child's heart pitied the poor fish as Li Yu knocked it dead with a club, tears uncontrollably flowing from her mouth.

That was too cruel.

In the evening, after Lai Dongsheng's wife's superb cooking, Li Suxin devoured two large bowls of rice in one go.

With the fish weighing over 200 kilograms, yielding more than 100 kilograms of meat, even distributed among everyone, there was more than two kilograms of meat per person.

So, definitely, this meat couldn't be finished in one meal.

Three-quarters of the fish, after being processed, some was saved for curing.

Another part was frozen, saved for next time.

....

On the walls, there maintained a guard of four people, with an additional two patrolling flexibly, and another in the monitoring room.

At night, Li Yu, picking his teeth, patting his belly, holding a beer, walked up to the villa rooftop.

Enjoying the cool breeze after the day's heat.

Full of food and drink, the weather just right, lying down to watch the stars.

This..... damn, this is how life in a post-apocalyptic world should be.
