Cheng Yuan's eyes slowly drooped. He didn't want to die like this. He had finally made it before the apocalypse and enjoyed his glory for only a few days before the apocalypse. Now he had to slowly wait to die. How could he be willing to accept this?

Suddenly, his friend's location changed, and a person flashed through his mind, but he couldn't quite place it. He only realized who it was when he opened his friend list and saw the unread message.

He always felt that he could save him.

[Lin Hu: Are you there? Still not awake?]

Cheng Yuan: "No, I'm here, what's wrong, bro?"

Cheng Yuan originally wanted to type, but her hands were so cold that they were shaking and she couldn't feel them, so she kept making typos and sent a voice message instead.

[Lin Hu: Check the transaction section.]

Cheng Yuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately obeyed and did as instructed. She opened a white crystal ball with a base.

Upon receiving it, I was amazed by its description and quickly took it out. In an instant, the surroundings felt warm.

[Lin Hu: Are you still there?]

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Lin Hu spoke again.

Cheng Yuan: "Yes, yes, brother, just let me know if you need anything, I'll definitely help."

[Lin Hu: Hmm. See the number of cases dropping? I grew some ginger; boiling it into a soup and drinking it can prevent colds and fevers, and increases cold resistance by +20.]

Cheng Yuan: "What do you need me to do?"

After listening to Lin Hu's words, Cheng Yuan began to take things seriously, and even straightened her back a little.

[Lin Hu: I can't cook this much in one pot at once, so you cook some too. After you're done, anonymously list it on the trading market for free, deliberately mentioning that it was made by Mr. Zhou. Don't rush to list it; let it sit for a while.]

Cheng Yuan: "Okay."

Although Cheng Yuan didn't understand what Lin Hu was going to do, she still agreed.

[Lin Hu: By the way, I still have a few nightlights here. Does your friend have any treasure chests, silver or higher? We can trade them.]

Cheng Yuan: "Really? Yes, yes, I have treasure chests right here. I got two diamond treasure chests and one gold treasure chest as a reward from today's adventure quest. I'll give you a friendly price; I need two."

Cheng Yuan: "If it's not enough, I can add more later."

As if afraid Lin Hu wouldn't agree, he quickly added.

[Lin Hu: Okay, no need to make any more. Ask your friends to make ginger soup together, and tell them it was Mr. Zhou who told you to do it this way.]

Cheng Yuan: "Okay, bro."

Lin Hu: ...Judging from the photo, this person seems to be older than me.

After finishing their conversation, Lin Hu passed Jiang and the nightlight over directly. He was too lazy to deal with his own situation, so he went back, washed the mud off his hands, and quietly climbed back into bed.

The spot where he had been lying was almost completely warm, so he quietly moved closer to Duan Linzhou and fell asleep instantly again.

Sensing the movement around him, Duan Linzhou opened his eyes. What he saw was the top of a head, with the scent of shampoo still lingering in the hair.

Duan Linzhou thought Lin Hu was cold again, but he never expected that Lin Hu had already gotten up and taken a walk. He reached out and tucked the blanket behind Lin Hu in before closing his eyes and going back to sleep.

The next day, Duan Linzhou woke up first, quietly went out to wash up, and then went to the field behind the house to harvest some ginger, chili peppers, and Shine Muscat grapes. But he only found that the Shine Muscat grapes and cucumbers were ripe; the rest were nothing.

"What are you doing?" Lin Hu put on his own hoodie and came out. He saw a basket on the table, and the basket was full of cucumbers.

Duan Linzhou glanced back at Lin Hu, whose hair was disheveled and whose face was blank, and smiled as he replied:

"Harvest the vegetables."

"Did you get up to harvest the vegetables yesterday?" Duan Linzhou asked again.

"Yes, the temperature dropped last night, and many people didn't make it through, so I got up and gathered the ginger." Lin Hu said, taking a wrung-out towel and rubbing it on his face. The warm temperature on his face gradually made him feel more awake.

Duan Linzhou understood and then changed the basket to continue picking cucumbers. In the end, this batch of cucumbers filled two baskets the size of a backpack.

While brushing his teeth, Lin Hu thought that Duan Linzhou and his main characters should have many talented and extraordinary people, and there should also be some lucky ones. He wondered if they might have also managed to acquire land.

After brushing his teeth, Lin Hu came out and stood with Duan Linzhou under the grape trellis to harvest grapes. As they were harvesting, they began to speak their minds.

"Brother Duan, do any of your friends have land that they've cleared? You can take some of my seeds and plant them there."

“These are your things. They’ll have to exchange them for something else.” Duan Linzhou disapproved of Lin Hu’s behavior, believing that being nice to everyone would only encourage greed.

“You said it yourself, so I’m happy to give it away. Besides, I’ll be collecting more seeds in the future, and I’m afraid I won’t have enough land to plant them all.”

As Lin Hu spoke, he kept observing Duan Linzhou's expression. Seeing that Duan Linzhou wanted to persuade him again, he directly cut off what Duan Linzhou was about to say.

“The ginger I harvested yesterday can help me withstand this natural disaster. Take some to your friends to plant. I cut off a lot of ginger sprouts yesterday. I can’t plant that many on this plot of land all at once. More ginger sprouts will grow in the future.”

As Lin Hu spoke, he directly transmitted ten ginger sprouts to Duan Linzhou through the system.

Duan Linzhou looked at the ten ginger sprout notifications that appeared on his system interface and accepted them anyway.

"I plan to put these lamps up for sale at the market. What goods would you like to exchange them for?"

Duan Linzhou reached out and picked a bunch of Sunshine Roses, handing them to Lin Hu who was standing to the side.

Lin Hu unconsciously reached out and took it, then put it into the basket on the table next to him. Perhaps the basket was too small, because the string of skewers took up a third of the space.

Lin Hu put three strings of skewers in his bag and then put them in his backpack.
