I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1049 - 1148: Not Allowed to Kill Octopus? Would You Like a Skewer of Takoyaki?

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1148: Not Allowed to Kill Octopus? Would You Like a Skewer of Takoyaki?

Jing Shu, along with Su Malie and Ah Xing, rode on the Hulk, heading first to the highest command center here.

After she presented the document, she was led into the interior of a tall building. At this moment, the sounds of alarms were incessant, it wasn’t about which household had been attacked by octopuses needing rescue.

Instead, it was about which area had been invaded by octopuses, and then ordinary citizens, starving and seeing double, rushed in trying to grab a bite of meat, yet failed.

So someone directly took a bite.

The result was poisoning.

Jing Shu: "..."

Is this not quite what was expected?

"I’m telling you, these are precious experimental samples, they must not be killed, must not be killed! Do you know how much compensation it costs for each that dies? How much genetic data will be lost?

Also, this incident is fully under my management this time, all of you must listen to me!" Xiao Xiao said with arms crossed, arrogantly.

Before, she didn’t dare to talk to the people here like this. After all, this place was too special.

However, after the apocalypse, this place relied half on Huaxia for food supply, living on the mainland’s terms for recent years.

Therefore, Huang Xiaoxiao really despised how they ate the motherland’s food while looking down on the mainland.

"But, if we don’t kill the octopuses, we generally can’t capture them. The octopuses are too strong, they can suffocate a person in just three minutes. We must rescue people first—"

In the conference room, some arguments could be heard.

At this moment, the conference room door opened, Jing Shu walked in with her party, looking at several rows of high-ranking personnel and the Director.

The police officer who led the way saluted the Director loudly and said, "This is the newest highest commander dispatched from over there, Jing Shu."

The Director, a thin, tall middle-aged man with glasses, smiled as he transferred the document to Huang Xiaoxiao after reading it,

"It seems there’s a new highest manager from your mainland side. Do you want to discuss among yourselves first who’s in charge?

Then, come back to talk to us?"

Huang Xiaoxiao, frowning, read through the document, glanced at Jing Shu, rolled her eyes, and walked over to say to Jing Shu:

"Miss Jing, is it? Hello, I am Professor Huang Xiaoxiao, Special Ability User at the Imperial Capital Official Laboratory.

The laboratory’s octopuses have been managed entirely by me from start to finish; I understand their habits and abilities better than you, and I even have special abilities to quickly subdue and capture them.

However, looking at your information, it seems you are not a Power User, right?"

Jing Shu looked at Huang Xiaoxiao, in her professional attire, though her face seemed a bit haggard, probably hadn’t slept well for days, now eagerly trying to redeem herself after spotting her target?

She smiled: "Though I’m not a Power User, I’ve been appointed as the person in charge of this matter. Old Zhou stated that I’m fully responsible for this issue, and you are to assist me, so, do you understand my meaning?"

"I don’t understand!" Huang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes again, clearly quite aggravated:

"Every day, why do they keep putting me in trouble? Now they’ve parachuted in someone who can’t do anything?

As an ordinary person, tell me, how will you capture the lab’s octopuses?

Three thousand octopuses have escaped; they’ve swarmed out from the sewers entirely now. Time is dire, do you even realize how severe the situation is?"

Jing Shu raised an eyebrow, wondering where this sense of superiority came from in this person sent from above, calling her an ordinary person. Are ordinary people useless?

She shrugged: "So, what method do you have to capture three thousand octopuses now?"

Speaking of her field of expertise, Huang Xiaoxiao puffed her chest out: "Certainly, I would have all local citizens and the police cooperate. When one is spotted, I’d go capture it myself rest assured I have special abilities and can capture them very quickly.

Except, I have only one requirement, that these octopuses must not be killed. We spent several months replicating the DNA pheromones on them—"

Uh...

Before Huang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Su Malie pulled out a bunch of grilled octopus balls from behind, emitting an irresistible aroma, and handed one over:

"Why don’t you try one to see if it tastes good?"

Huang Xiaoxiao looked at the familiar, dozens of centimeters long, red-spotted tentacles with an expression that cracked open with disbelief:

"Ahhhhh you, you guys!!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Jing Shu swiftly grabbed an octopus ball, took a huge bite. The chewy octopus tentacle fused with an incredibly tasty sauce even better than shoestrings, enhanced by the onion’s freshness, melded eventually with the flavor of cumin and salt and pepper—

The roasted crispness, the rich oil from the octopus leg dancing in her mouth.

This is so damn delicious!!

Jing Shu took several bites, having only eaten a tenth of the octopus tentacle, this is just incredible, should she cry now?

This thing is so big, so chewy, it’s just the ultimate good food, right?

As for poisonous—consumed raw, it is poisonous, Old Zhou said once it’s cooked, it’s aromatic. He sure didn’t lie!!

After eating, Jing Shu said: "Seems like Ms. Huang Xiaoxiao doesn’t like eating this kind of octopus, don’t give her any, it’d be a waste, you can give one to the police station."

Su Malie holding a small skewer of broken octopus leg offered it to the Director, "Would you like one?"
