Hmmm, so far there’s a decent number of military outposts and mines around the area.
Heading for the mines first since they’ve got lots of human bodies to cook. Need to hurry before the meat rots; already got enough cooking skill to try making amoral aspic. Got a ton of clean water from raiding a motel vending machine, so I’ll just harvest the mines to get what I want. Alls I got to worry about are dark wyrms and they’re easy enough to manage.
Rock salt, huh. May make some jerk jerky as well, but aspic is probably what I’ll go with. Not sure if aspics and jerky can be made with rotten food anymore, but I don’t like using the rotten stuff. I want my meals made from fresh, or at least unrotten ingredients.
