Chapter 49 Picking up Seafood

The area around the villa was really quiet. After walking around for a while and not seeing anything, Ling Ran went back to watch TV.

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning.

Ling Ran came out with dark circles under her eyes, and upon closer inspection, Pei Xiu looked just like Zhou Hang.

Those tedious, unwatchable TV dramas I scorned before the apocalypse are now thoroughly entertaining. Human nature, it seems, is indeed prone to sudden, unexpected delights.

Good morning, sis.

"Mmm," Ling Ran replied weakly.

"Good morning, sir." Liu Xiuping asked energetically, "Would you like milk or soy milk this morning?"

Ling Ran waved her hand casually: "Soy milk, please."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Liu Xiuping brought out the steamed buns she had prepared that morning, and then brought out several cups of soy milk made from soybeans.

She introduced the buns to Ling Ran: "Sir, this is a crayfish-filled bun, this is a beef and bamboo shoot-filled bun, and this is a vegetable-filled bun."

"Okay, sit down and eat."

Liu Xiuping's skills are indeed good; at least these steamed buns are beautifully shaped, each one round and plump, and they all look almost the same size.

The soft, fragrant buns, the aroma of wheat, and the perfectly balanced filling made Ling Ran nod with satisfaction.

We made the right decision to save this person. It seems we should pay more attention to chefs in the future. If we find a master chef, we should definitely take him on.

Liu Xiuping took a sip of soy milk and then said, "Sir, we still have plenty of rice, flour, and dried goods at home, but we're out of meat and fresh vegetables. I see we have such a large open space in our yard, why don't we buy some seeds and grow some vegetables ourselves? That way we can save some money."

Ling Ran really didn't have many crystal cores left. She used the previous crystal cores as soon as she got them, and only remembered to save some when she returned with the Wolf Fang troops.

“The seeds are quite expensive, it’s not worth buying them yourself.” Pei Xiu said through gritted teeth, “Now the fruits and vegetables in the base are monopolized by those wood-type ability users. The seeds are already not cheap, and then there are wood-type ability users waging a price war, making vegetables incredibly expensive.”

Zhou Hang nodded: "Yes, Pei Xiu and I were thinking of going to Ning City to take a look, because we heard that Ning City was not flooded."

In this flood in the southern province, H city was the most severely affected. Dongcheng and Y city, which are adjacent to it, were also affected to some extent, but much better than H city. Ning city, which is next to Y city, was basically unaffected, with only localized rainfall.

The sun is out again today; the ground might already be dried out.

Ling Ran nodded after thinking for a moment: "Okay, then let's go to Ning City today and see if there are any missions to take on. If there are, we'll accept them."

"OK."

Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang were full of confidence.

They were indeed lazy before, but more so because they lacked confidence in themselves.

One of them is a level one speed-type ability user, and the other is a level one water-type ability user. They're really weak, aren't they?

Then the other superhumans around me became more and more cowardly and lazy than the last. Oh well, I guess I'll just give up. At least I won't starve.

With Ling Ran around, everyone has superpowers!

Ha, who are they afraid of?

While they were having breakfast, there was a knock on the door. Liu Xiuping quickly got up to open it. Ling Ran glanced at her watch; it was only seven in the morning.

A short while later, Hu Shuo and Fei Fei came in.

The two men, dressed in black combat uniforms, entered into the light with remarkable agility.

Seeing that Ling Ran and the others were still having breakfast, Hu Shuo said apologetically, "Sorry to bother you."

"Is there something you need?" Ling Ran had eaten four steamed buns and was already a little full. She picked up the soy milk and took a sip. The soy flavor was rich and mellow.

"Usually around 8 o'clock, the marine life is evacuated, and there will be plenty of seafood to collect at the harbor. If Miss Ling is interested, you can go and take a look."
