Chapter 27 Deformed Cockroach

Jiang Mi tried hard to learn, but when she squeezed hard and let go, the dumplings in her hands either had a broken belly or a huge edge.

After trying several in a row, Jiang's mother couldn't bear it anymore and quickly waved her hand to tell her to stop wasting the dumpling skins.

"Come on, come on, just wrap it your way. These are so ugly."

When Father Jiang heard what his wife said, he turned his head and looked over here. His eyes fell on those strange-shaped dumplings. He couldn't help laughing and said, "This is a child who is incorrigible!"

"There's nothing I can do. It's because I didn't inherit my mother's talent in this area." Jiang Mi sighed.

My mother has no talent for cooking, but she is extremely good at rolling out dumpling skins and making dumpling fillings. It's simply unbelievable.

"Look at your brother. He is a little slow at making dumplings, but his dumplings are so beautiful and neat. Even if you sell them, you can earn more than you do." Jiang's mother pursed her lips.

Jiang Mi looked over and saw ten slender fingers flying up and down. In a short while, a beautiful wheat ear dumpling was formed.

There were already about 20 wheat-ear dumplings on the dumpling grid nearby, and there were only about 20 of the messy dumplings she had made.

"My family will eat it anyway. It will all be the same once it enters their stomachs. What's the point of making it look good?" Jiang Mi snorted, and his hands subconsciously started to wrap the wheat ear dumplings. Naturally, he failed and the dumplings turned out to be a round bun.

Just as one bowl of stuffing was finished, Father Jiang brought another bowl of stuffing over and shouted, "The classic cabbage and pork stuffing is here, come on, there are also shepherd's purse stuffing, sauerkraut stuffing, and mushroom stuffing."

Jiang Mi smacked his lips, "Do you really need to pack so many?"

"Since you've already done it, just do more at a time." Father Jiang said with a smile.

They prepared the stuffing very quickly. Just as they had finished wrapping most of the dumplings with pork and cabbage stuffing, Father Jiang had already prepared the rest of the stuffing.

A total of five pots of dumpling fillings were placed on the table.

After preparing the dumpling fillings, Jiang's father also joined the dumpling-making army. His hand speed was almost the same as Jiang's mother's, and each filling was not too much, so it took him half an hour to finish wrapping the remaining dumpling fillings.

The plump white dumplings are put into the pot and cooked, and the air is filled with tempting aroma.

Jiang Mi was extremely hungry. Seeing that it would take some time for the dumplings to be ready, he simply took out the barbecue he had bought before the end of the world from his space and put it out.

The barbecue taken out from the space was still steaming, as if it had just been cooked.

Just after eating two skewers, Jiang's father came with a large pot of cooked dumplings and shouted, "The dumplings are ready, eat them quickly, I cooked a little bit of each filling, you can eat whatever you want."

Jiang Mi couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling, and took a bite without dipping it in any sauce. The rich aroma of leeks and eggs instantly bloomed on the tip of her tongue, along with a little bit of boiling hot soup. Jiang Mi was so burned that she kept breathing out but refused to spit it out.

"Be careful, no one is competing with you for it, don't get burned." Jiang's mother gave her a reproachful look.

"It's so delicious." Jiang Mi said vaguely.

"If it tastes good, eat more." Father Jiang said happily. He felt satisfied and happy that his cooking skills could make his family happy.

The dumplings were eaten with great enthusiasm, just like the Chinese New Year.

After lunch, Jiang's father and mother went to take a nap, and Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun subconsciously went to the monitoring room.

I glanced at the surveillance screen and, as expected, another one was dark.

"If this continues, I'm afraid those surveillance cameras will be unusable." Jiang Mi frowned slightly.

Jiang Xun's eyes scanned the screens one by one. When he saw one of the surveillance screens, his eyes narrowed slightly. He stood up from the recliner and moved closer. After taking a closer look, he said in a deep voice, "There is something wrong here."

Jiang Mi followed his gaze and saw black dots moving constantly on the small frame of the surveillance screen. Judging from the trend, they seemed to be moving under the soil.

"Is this... a rat?"

Because of the gray snow blocking the view, Jiang Mi had no way of telling what it was.

"The quantity is a bit too much." Jiang Xun stared at it without blinking.

If a black dot is a monster, then there will be more than a dozen black dots displayed on the surveillance screen. No matter what, it must be investigated clearly and cannot be left alone. This is a potential danger.

"I'll go take a look." Jiang Xun said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he was about to leave the monitoring room. Jiang Mi quickly said, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Xun waved his hand, "No need, you just watch here, if you have any questions, please communicate in time, I will go outside to take a look."

Seeing that he was determined, Jiang Mi did not insist, "The radiation pollution outside is very strong, brother, you must take good protection. Come back after you find out what it is, and we will find a solution together."

Jiang Xun nodded, turned and left the monitoring room.

Jiang Mi fixed his eyes on the surveillance screen, staring carefully at the small black spot.

After a while, Jiang Xun's fully armed figure appeared on the surveillance screen.

Jiang Mi couldn't help feeling a little nervous as he watched Jiang Xun getting closer and closer to the black spot. Then he stopped moving as if he was observing something.

After a moment, he slowly bent down, put something on the ground, and carefully retreated.

Seeing that the black spots did not move unusually, Jiang Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

But after a while, the black spots seemed to be attracted by something and began to move in the direction where Jiang Xun left, and stopped where he bent down to put something.

The door of the monitoring room was opened, and Jiang Xun, who had changed his clothes, walked back in.

Jiang Mi was still observing those things. When he heard the noise, he asked casually, "What are those?"

Jiang Xun frowned, which was rare, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, "It's a mutated cockroach."

"Ah? So brother, was that cockroach bait you just took out?" Jiang Mi couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body when he thought of creatures like cockroaches.

"I saw some similar ones in the surveillance video, so I brought two. I didn't expect it to be true, and it has grown into the size of a fist." Jiang Xun frowned deeply as he looked at the cockroaches eating bait on the surveillance screen.

He was not sure whether the baits used to deal with ordinary cockroaches would be effective against these mutated cockroaches.

However, his worries were soon confirmed. The deformed cockroach that came to eat the bait at first suddenly stopped eating, and then staggered as if it wanted to leave, but fell to the ground before it took a few steps.

Seeing this, the other cockroaches immediately went over and shared the food with it.

Immediately afterwards, one cockroach after another died around the bait, and the dead cockroaches' bodies were eaten by other living cockroaches.
