Chapter 153 My Modern-Day Fishman Experience (Part 4)
The sun broke through the clouds and returned to the top of the clouds.
Now, the only people going out during the day are still uninfected survivors. These people must have incredibly strong genes.
Ordinary infected individuals have already reached the stage where their skin is peeling and growing scales.
In such dry weather, you can only go out if you have a large spray bottle with you.
It's impossible even if you think about it.
The banyan tree branches were covered in fish-specific skin lotion, and for the third time, Tong Yuping was smeared with oil. Even a certain miniature pig came over to join in the fun, its skin smeared until it looked like it was about to be grilled...
He shook his head, trying to banish the little oil pig from his mind.
Tong Yuping suddenly realized that the previous rainy days had probably given the glacier patients a chance to breathe.
Otherwise, without nutrient solution and in dry air, humans would grow scales, and their emotions would never be so stable.
It seems her typhoon is about to make landfall, bringing torrential rain and some special substances to Hedukou Town and the surrounding area.
The aim is to add some nutrients to mountains, rivers, lakes, and groundwater sources.
At that time, ordinary people will be able to replenish the energy needed for their bodies' evolution by taking baths at home or soaking in rivers, in addition to the limited nutrient solution.
With that in mind, Tong Yuping set up a protective array at home and then went out with Little Oil Pig and Rongrong.
They floated around the city, dug out system data to make plans, and finally decided on a few explosive special effects before making their escape.
The special substance in the rainstorm was the remains that Xiao Yi "picked up" from his "good friend" who had been fished out by the foreigners, and then slowly refined and stewed it.
"Good Friend" is the molted body of a giant octopus woman from elsewhere.
She was a time traveler who, due to a misalignment, ended up in the wrong small world.
Finding the environment peaceful, I paid for my lodging and planned to take a nap before continuing my journey.
The octopus woman, deep in the ocean, exhales a special substance that is quietly improving the marine ecosystem...
Unexpectedly, humans intercepted the fish's molts and conducted bold experiments, leading to an irreversible mutation in the species...
I have to say, they really brought this upon themselves.
This also includes the one who, after glimpsing the mysteries of the deep sea in a dream, spent half his life and most of his fortune to retrieve the fish molt.
As for the octopus lady's true form, no one has ever been able to touch it.
Humans are safe for the time being.
...
The sky completely cleared up.
Early-stage glacial disease patients develop fish-scale-like growths on their skin, appearing intermittently.
Fortunately, the presence of super-infected individuals provided a foundation for this, and everyone was mentally prepared.
Folding bathtubs are going to sell out...
When going out, you have to carry your own water bag and water tank...
Tong Yuping, dressed in a conservative grandmother's swimsuit, was soaking in the bathtub, eating spicy braised crucian carp.
Big fish eat little fish, that makes sense.
The group chat on her phone kept buzzing with messages. When someone tagged her, Rongrong would reply to the message for her.
Rongrong was taking a medicinal bath in a pink plastic bucket next to the bathtub.
The little pig uses a bright red plastic basin for bathing, which was originally used by its owner to wash clothes.
What about Xiao Yi?
Xiao Yi stood on the seabed, circling around the sleeping octopus lady, looking as if he wanted to put her into his spatial dimension.
So even the mind of a puppet can become increasingly dangerous...?
"Stop, stop! Xiao Yi, you can't think about this anymore!"
Hearing the advice from his other companions relayed by the subsystem, Xiao Yi reluctantly stopped and picked up a few more "junk" before leaving.
Tong Yuping was speechless.
Xiao Yi couldn't figure out what gave her the illusion that she even wanted to pick up a time traveler...
What if I get wanted by her family? Reason for wanted: Trafficking, imprisoning, and detaining an octopus woman.
My peers will laugh me to death.

After finishing the fish, Tong Yuping stopped soaking in water.
For someone like her who's just trying to relax, drinking more tonics every day is better than anything else.
She only fed the other members of the Tong family some soups and broths to strengthen their bodies.
Once they've fully evolved and are underwater, they can take on three opponents with a single punch.
The original owner's children in the provincial capital also sent a message.
The implication was that she shouldn't throw a tantrum; returning to the provincial capital to take good care of the younger generation was more important than anything else.
When people get old, isn't what they all want is to have a house full of children and grandchildren? Stop watching those pointless videos on Douyin.
Now, Tong Yuping suddenly understood why the original owner had called them two wicked creatures.
The fact that she still has time to look for him probably means she's not busy or tired enough.
I must be kind enough to give them a little extra so that I don't feel indebted to them.
Arrange the talisman for many children and grandchildren~
Then, it involves using mental power to subtly suggest ideas to make people ignore their lonely old mother in the countryside.
There was a knock on the door.
It turned out that Little Sparrow Tong Yong had brought his homework.
On the small cart next to it was a pot of water, a watermelon, an apple, and several boxes of moisturizing oil.
After the elderly man was infected, Tong Dadan and his wife were worried about their parents and had to return to their hometowns to take care of them.
Tong Yong and his family took turns staying at the house.
The situation has stabilized recently, and the two of them have returned to the provincial capital. Tong Yong no longer needs to travel around with them and can just take online classes at home.
Occasionally, he would bring his homework to keep Tong Yuping, an elderly man left behind in the village, company.
The child has a good heart; if he weren't so greedy, Tong Yuping would trust him even more...
Tong Yong had no idea what his great-aunt was thinking.
He wrote a line of text on the small blackboard in his hand with a marker.
"Grandma, where's my little piggy? I brought it an apple."
"Take a bath, just call me. Eat together."
Tong Yuping could only pretend that his language skills had deteriorated and reply to her using a small blackboard.
Actually, it's more convenient to use a mobile phone's electronic voice to read aloud, but this is just to cooperate with Tong Yong.
...
Fortunately, the fingers weren't deformed, otherwise how would humans cook?
Watching Rongrong work in the kitchen, Tong Yuping couldn't help but sigh.
Before long, a lot of dishes that fish like to eat were laid out on the table, and the little pig next to Tong Yong drooled all over its face.
So pigs love this vegetable too! It even looks quite appealing.
Tong Yong held down the restless pig's head, preventing it from going onto the table and rummaging through the plates.
That's what she thinks, anyway.
What could the little pig do? It could only smear its saliva on the little brat's palm.
Its saliva essence is no less effective than Dongfanghong-1!
After all, it's a precious pig with spiritual energy that can cultivate.
After the meal, Tong Yong's belly was round and full, and he didn't want to do his homework anymore.
After sending a message to her grandfather, she and her piglet lay on the sofa watching cartoons.
It's really hard to live without being able to speak.
The first thing he says is "Ah," "Ah," "Ah."
However, Tong Yong didn't see her grandfather this time because a sudden downpour started.
Hearing that his grandfather would come to pick him up again tomorrow after the rain stopped, Tong Yong hugged the little pig and laughed heartily, even calling out to his precious pig.
I'm so happy, I can sleep with my piggy pillow again!
Tong Yuping thought that staying for one night probably wouldn't be enough; this torrential rain would last at least three days...
I wonder if there's enough of the special substances in the rain?
Under the bright streetlights.
One of the patients with glacier disease accidentally got caught in the rain and felt as if his blood and energy had been unblocked, so he put away his umbrella and stood straight in the rain.
People sheltering from the rain on both sides of the street just thought another person had gone mad.
I'm still debating whether or not to call the police.
