During the earthquake, I'd heard there hadn't actually been much shaking. But that only applied to this side. The other side had broken off completely, so from where I stood, I could see some high-rises in the distance that were still standing above sea level. They were probably at least two or three kilometers away.
The water over there must have been more than ten meters deep, and the high-rises still above the waterline had to be at least thirty or forty meters tall.
Looking out at this world, so unlike anything I'd ever known, I took a deep breath of the fresh sea air.
"Hiss... whoo..."
I let out a long breath and immediately felt much more alert.
I rolled my shoulders. I'd been thinking too much last night and had even forgotten what I'd eaten for dinner. But this morning, I remembered: tiger bones again, along with a bowl of bone broth made from tiger bones.
I had to say, Uncle Zhou really did have connections.
Tigers had been rare even before the apocalypse. And after it began, tiger meat became incredibly nutritious. They said eating it regularly could even help people evolve.
That made tiger meat extremely valuable. At the very least... that plate of ribs had to be worth around ten yuan, right?
And it wasn't even something you could buy just by having the money!
Thinking about it, I couldn't help wondering if Uncle Zhou Jun was being so nice to me because I looked a lot like Fang Yuxuan.
If his identity really was what Wei Ping had said—one of the first people to know Fang Yuxuan—then... it was very likely.
In that case, I owed that woman my thanks. Otherwise... how could I have eaten tiger meat two meals in a row?
