Xu Milu was drowning in debt. After obtaining a dimensional travel system, she embarked on an irreversible path of selling interdimensional ingredients across the universe.
She hawks pearls f...
The next morning, Fang Ting's convoy was ready to set off. They still had a mission to complete, and Xu Milu also told Fang Ting about the possibility that Boss Zhu might have electromagnetic weapons.
"Thank you very much for the news, Ms. Xu. We will be extra careful."
Fang Ting expressed her gratitude and reminded her:
"Although the Dragon Kingdom suffered a severe disaster, fortunately the government dispatched the army to eliminate some of the zombies in the first instance. Under the suppression of firepower, 123 cities were cleared out, and a total of 73 large survival bases, 59 medium-sized shelters and 172 small shelters were set up. City A is one of them. I believe that a good situation will soon come. If possible, I still suggest that you take your younger siblings to join a large official shelter. The rules in private shelters are chaotic. It will be difficult for you to make a living with two minors."
"Okay, I'll be careful. Has the whole world fallen now? What's the situation abroad? Is it just humans that are mutated, or can plants and animals also be infected with this zombie virus?"
Xu Milu was more concerned about this.
Fang Ting's expression darkened, and she sighed:
"Due to the electromagnetic waves left by the meteor, we are temporarily unable to contact overseas survivor bases, but judging from the images transmitted back by satellites, the situation overseas is much more severe than in China."
An unprecedented riot broke out in Country M, and their Jurassic Park, having lost power control, saw all the prehistoric creatures on the island escape. Furthermore, the island nation, due to its terrain, was almost completely submerged by a tsunami, experienced volcanic eruptions, and suffered leaks at all three major nuclear power plants. Some of the zombies contaminated by radiation even mutated.
We're working hard to repair the communication system and try to make contact with overseas countries. By the way, there's a nearly abandoned energy station about 30 miles north. There should be gasoline there, but there's also a high chance of some unclaimed zombies. But as long as you keep following the map I gave you, reaching your destination safely shouldn't be a problem."
Dinosaurs resurrect, zombies roam, gun violence erupts, volcanoes erupt, tsunamis engulf, nuclear power plants leak, and zombies mutate.
The debuffs are indeed fully stacked.
China's response was quick enough, but the food shortage still led to a small number of people resorting to cannibalism. What kind of horrific situation must it be in other countries under anarchy?
Xu Milu felt her scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Advanced technology is a double-edged sword, but no one knows when it might pierce humanity itself.
...
...
Humans in this world rely too much on technology. Even their food is cooked by androids according to pre-programmed recipes. Some people take it even easier, eating various flavored nutritional pastes for all three meals a day. They can't even tell wheat from rice when placed in front of them, let alone cook for themselves.
"What's the difference between wheat and rice?"
Suhe asked very seriously.
He got up early in the morning, not only adding more firewood to the fire and picking a large bunch of fresh alfalfa, but also running to the river to fetch a bucket of water for Xu Milu to wash her face, as if afraid that Xu Milu would abandon them halfway.
Xu Milu glanced at him and was surprised to find that the boy was quite handsome after washing up. He had pale skin, clear and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a somewhat round nose tip. If he were on Earth, he would be a handsome young man of school heartthrob caliber.
"Wheat is the precursor to flour. After the mature wheat is harvested from the field, it needs to be cleaned, processed, ground, and sifted to obtain white flour. The more processes involved and the finer the grinding, the whiter the flour. Flour can be used to make various pastries, steamed buns, dumplings, and noodles. It can also be stir-fried with salt and sugar. If stored properly, it won't spoil for several months. It can also be used to make gluten, cold skin noodles, and beef tendon noodles—"
Xu Milu bent down, scooped up a handful of cold water, and after the system detected that there was no zombie virus in it, she slowly washed her face and continued:
"Mature rice grains undergo drying, winnowing, and hulling to produce white rice grains. Rice can be steamed, made into popcorn, or fried. Wheat flour is ground into wheat flour, while rice flour is ground into rice flour, which can be used to make rice cakes, osmanthus cakes, and nine-layer cakes. When ground with water, it becomes rice flour paste, which can be used to make fried rice noodles, snail rice noodles, dry-fried rice noodles, and rice noodle rolls..."
She looked up and saw that Su He was overwhelmed by the sheer number of food names, and couldn't help but laugh:
"However, we don't have that many ingredients right now. We can make wild vegetable dumplings with flour, which are definitely plentiful and filling. Also, venison is a good thing. It can be air-dried to make dried meat, which can be preserved for a long time."
Su He understood immediately, but hesitated before asking, "Are you worried about something?"
"Yes, I was thinking that since we've already had earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and acid rain, could there be even more severe extreme weather events? It's summer now, and the wild resources are relatively abundant, but in winter, finding food will be much more difficult."
Xu Milu's worries were not unfounded. She learned from Fang Ting that official predictions indicated that extreme weather was likely to occur in the future, so she had to teach her two children to prepare in advance.
It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish; after all, she can't keep smuggling supplies from Earth to support her two children.
Su He fell silent instantly. After a while, she went back to pick more alfalfa, clearly not doubting Xu Milu's words at all.

According to Soho, the disaster had only occurred six months prior, yet the roadsides were already overgrown with weeds and vines, and several leisurely wild deer stood in the middle of the road, using their antlers to butt the wrecked aircraft.
