Chapter 148 Another Overconfident Person Offers Themselves Up for Grabs

Meng Shiwan lay in bed to clear her head before heading straight to the farm.

The farm was as serene and beautiful as ever at night.

Her little garden looked even more beautiful under the night sky.

The first thing Meng Shiwan did upon arriving at the farm was to feed the chickens, ducks, and geese.

This time they were fed.

They raided a feed mill and found huge piles of feed stored inside.

These thirty little guys are quite strong. After the ducklings and goslings have eaten their fill, they go swimming in the pond.

The chicks scratched around in the orchard, looking for food.

Meng Shiwan stepped onto the soft lawn, leaped, and plunged into the clear pond.

I dived to the bottom of the water, dug out a few sections of lotus root, and then brought them to the surface to clean them.

After getting ashore, the cool breeze felt refreshing on my wet body.

Meng Shiwan carried the lotus root, walked through the garden, and out of the orchard. Outside were the crops she had planted last time.

After a few days, tiny sprouts have appeared.

Meng Shiwan roughly estimated that, given her current abilities, it would be unlikely that she could accelerate the ripening of crops on a hundred or so acres of land at once.

However, there shouldn't be too much of a problem in ripening 30 acres of vegetables.

She pressed her hands to the ground and released all her supernatural power. Vast swathes of green plants grew wildly, rustling and blossoming, and bearing fruit.

In no time, the crops on the thirty acres of land presented a magnificent scene ready for harvest.

Meng Shiwan took out a large woven basket from her spatial storage and wandered through the fields, picking whatever she could find.

Various common vegetables and fruits that can be harvested in a short period of time, such as various melons and strawberries.

As Meng Shiwan picked the fruit, she thought about when she could open up the farm to a secluded place and let a few team members come in to pick the fruit.

Thirty acres of land—even if she used her wood-based superpowers, it would take her a very long time to harvest it all by herself.

Let them do this job.

With her basket full, Meng Shiwan figured it would be enough for her to eat.

She put the basket in the space, went back to the RV, and went upstairs to call Ta Xue, "Come on, let's go eat."

Ta Xue raised her head, looked at Meng Shiwan, stood up, walked to Meng Shiwan, and jumped directly into her arms.

Ta Xue knew its owner's shoulder couldn't support it anymore, so it jumped directly into their arms.

But now that it's so big, even if it jumps into her arms, Meng Shiwan would have a hard time catching it. The impact pushed her so hard that her back hit the wardrobe behind her.

Ta Xue tilted its big head, wondering when its human had become so weak?

It hasn't been with her for a few days, and it's already stopped eating and sleeping properly? Its health has even deteriorated?

Even this little kitten couldn't catch it.

It seems it will need to spend more time with its owner in the future.

Meng Shiwan hugged Taxue, who was already more than half her size and very strong, and pretended to be strong, "It's okay, no matter how big you get, you'll always be my little darling."

Meng Shiwan used all her strength to carry Taxue out of the car.

Ta Xue nudged Meng Shiwan's neck with her head, almost knocking Meng Shiwan off the car and onto the ground.

Lu Yu was tasting the soup base when he looked up and saw Taxue lying on Meng Shiwan's body.

The fluffy, chubby body had completely covered Meng Shiwan from the knees up, leaving only her arms supporting Ta Xue's bottom visible.

The veins on her slender, fair arms bulged from the excessive force.

"My goodness, Ta Xue has grown so much in just two days, almost as big as a tiger, and I'm not exaggerating at all."

Lu Yu was stunned. He never imagined in his life that a cat could grow to such a large size.

Tao Yarong looked up at the sound, "Ta Xue, haven't you realized how big you've grown? I can hardly carry you anymore."

Ta Xue let out a heavy sigh. It's not that big yet. Its owner just said it will always be a little baby.

Seeing this, Luo Zhenfeng, who was watching from a distance, glared even more fiercely.

"Good heavens, what is that thing? A leopard? They're raising leopards in the apocalypse?"

Lei Zhe installed several large lights on the roof for illumination, but the lights were not very bright, so Luo Zhenfeng could not see very clearly.

Peng Tao was speechless. "Have you ever seen a leopard that's black and white? That looks more like a cat."

Luo Zhenfeng took a bite of the dry, compressed biscuit in his hand and disagreed, "Have you ever seen a cat that big? That's clearly a leopard, a mutated leopard. These people really know how to play games."

Peng Tao: ...

The soup base for the Dawn Squad is ready, the rice is cooked, and after washing the fruits and vegetables, we can start eating.

In the middle is a large iron pot, and below it is a large stove that is always burning. A group of people are gathered around the pot, cooking and eating.

The chili oil is bubbling away, the meat is tender and juicy, and the greens are coated in chili oil with dipping sauces—it looks incredibly delicious.

Ma Jiandong used his ice-based superpowers to continuously cool down the surrounding area, so that eating hot pot wouldn't be too hot in this weather.

Lu Yu even stewed a small pot of soft and tender meat soup for Ta Xue, who squatted down next to him and ate it with great relish.

The aroma of the hot pot, fresh, spicy and numbing, filled the air. The two groups ahead, drawn by the smell, poked their heads out of their cars. They saw the lush green vegetables and fruits on the table, the beer and drinks on the ice piles around, and the bubbling red oil soup in the big pot. Their mouths watered involuntarily.

A boy swallowed a mouthful of instant noodles, then exclaimed in horror, "Wait, is this still the apocalypse? Am I dreaming?"

"Maybe we're all dreaming. Their lives are in a completely different world from ours. What time is it? Why do they still have fresh vegetables and fruits to eat?"

"Oh my god, it smells so good! If I could just drink a sip of the hot pot broth, I would feel like I was floating on air."

With Meng Shiwan around, the Dawn Squad's life didn't feel like the apocalypse at all.

Who can still have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat in the apocalypse?

But these two squads are truly living a post-apocalyptic life.

Forget about fresh fruits and vegetables; they only get to eat a proper stewed meat meal by sheer luck.

Now that they see a big, delicious hot pot, wouldn't they be completely smitten by its aroma?

Luo Zhenfeng threw the compressed biscuits in his hand to the ground. The aroma made him stare wide-eyed. "Why do they have so much good food? Where do they get fresh fruits and vegetables at this time of year?"

Peng Tao was a steady person. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There should be space ability users among them. It's not surprising that they stock up on fruits and vegetables in the early stages of the apocalypse."

Luo Zhenfeng swallowed hard. "Even if we have stockpiled food, we can't just go around like this. We don't know how long this natural disaster will last. No matter how much we stockpile, it won't last long enough to eat. And they insist on eating so well in front of us. Are they trying to make us drool?"

Peng Tao gestured for him to calm down, saying, "Calm down, calm down."

Luo Zhenfeng's eyes darted around, and he calmed down. He lowered his voice, "The fruits and vegetables were brought out by the woman who raises the leopards. She should be the space-age ability user in their team."

If we find an opportunity to kill that woman while they're charging into the fishing village and fighting the zombie horde, wouldn't all her delicious food be ours?

Space-age ability users are all weaklings. If we find a chance to kill her, she'll drop supplies, and we can steal their food.

Peng Tao sniffed, also tempted, "I'll do as you say."

As Meng Shiwan smirked while eating hotpot, another overconfident person came knocking on her door.
