Chapter 101 Times Have Changed

Their group chat was constantly buzzing.

"I have five in my collection box now."

"I have ten crystal cores now."

"I only have seven, not enough."

"Convenience store, sis, there's a convenience store up ahead." Lei Zhe, with his sharpest eyes, was already swallowing hard.

They came out of the base with little food and had to scavenge for it along the way.

These days, the more snacks you eat, the less there are left.

After all this food expired, Rezhe didn't dare to imagine what kind of life people would lead.

Judging from the current situation, the natural disaster is unlikely to end anytime soon.

If this continues for three to five years, various natural disasters will make planting impossible, and most of the food will expire or be destroyed by the disasters.

The food that humans ate back then was probably worse than pig swill.

The era of abundant and diverse food will completely disappear, and humanity will once again face a great famine.

Just thinking about this made Lei Zhe's scalp tingle.

The uncertainty of the future is frightening.

Meng Shiwan activated her wood-type superpower, extending vines into the convenience store, where all kinds of snacks and drinks were swept away.

The vines, like serpents, twisted back and stretched to the side of several vehicles, throwing a pile of snacks into each driver's cab.

Lei Zhe sat amidst the pile of snacks he had been longing for, overjoyed. "My wood-type ability and spatial ability are a perfect match."

Meng Shiwan is no longer the same person she used to be.

When the zombie outbreak first occurred, she had to pull a trailer and move loads of food into the RV, one load at a time.

Now, all you need to do is sit inside the RV, and you can easily store any supplies within the space that the vines can reach.

It can be said to be quite simple and quick.

Haicheng is very large; to get from the base to the industrial zone, you have to cross almost half of the city.

In addition, the road clearing vehicles were slow, so it was three days later when they arrived at the farm in the industrial zone.

For the past three days, apart from a few hours of sleep and relieving themselves each day, they have been on the road the whole time.

When they encountered gold shops, rice shops, or similar establishments along the way, they didn't need to get out of the car. Meng Shiwan's vines would reach out and collect them all into her spatial storage, which would then be placed into the two trucks.

We need to stock up on essential supplies such as gold and silver jewelry, rice, flour, cooking oil, and medicine.

Previously, there were only a few of them, so there was no rush to collect rice, flour, and cooking oil.

There's still a large family living in the base, so we need to stock up on some of these essential supplies.

The farm that Meng Shiwan located is the largest integrated farm that can be found on the map.

It contains a variety of poultry and livestock.

If you're lucky, you might be able to collect most of the poultry and livestock from this one farm.

The convoy stopped outside the gate of the farm.

The extremely bright and imposing gate alone is enough to tell you how large the farm must be inside.

Before they went in, there was something even more important they needed to do.

It's about counting crystal nuclei.

Previously, Meng Shiwan was the only one who liked to count crystal cores.

Now, all members of the Dawn Squad love to count crystal cores.

Lei Zhe rubbed his hands together, "I've been traveling these past few days, and looking at the box full of crystal cores, I've been itching to get started. Now I can finally count them and exchange them for the ability enhancement fluid."

Even the usually composed Anjiewen is now looking forward to it, saying, "Judging from the quantity, there are definitely over two hundred. Exchanging them for a single dose of ability enhancement fluid shouldn't be a problem."

Tao Yarong and Qiu Zhiyi didn't have time to talk. They found a bag or box that contained snacks, put their hands in plastic bags, and silently took the crystal cores with flesh and blood still attached out of the collection box.
