Chapter 437 Potatoes

The aroma of the food lingered in my nostrils. Looking at these dishes, which are very common in the city but extremely rare on a deserted island, I was incredibly excited.

I quickly patted Wang Ping, who still had his eyes closed. Wang Ping immediately opened his eyes, and when he saw the dishes in front of him, I saw his eyes suddenly redden.

"Sihai, is it really possible to get whatever you want in this place? This is amazing!"

I shook my head as well. After all, I was also very confused about this place at first, but now it seems that this place really can make your wishes come true.

"Sihai, these dishes are all my mother's specialty. I haven't been able to contact her for several years. Perhaps my mother already thinks I'm dead. I never expected that as my position and salary at the company rose, I could bring my mother to live with me and provide her with a good life. But instead, we encountered a shipwreck on our trip and ended up stranded on this nameless desert island for so many years. Now that I think about it, my mother must be living a life worse than death."

Of course I understand Wang Ping's feelings; after all, I feel the same way.

My family probably thinks I'm already dead...

At first, we held onto hope that the search and rescue team would come and bring us back. But now we've been here for over three years. In these three years, we've faced several close calls, but the prospect of going home seems increasingly distant...

I patted Wang Ping on the shoulder to tell him not to be sad anymore, and that my stomach was growling with hunger. After all, it had been raining outside for a while and food was scarce, so we could only drink some soup every day.

Although Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang had tried their best to distribute our food, there were too many people, so the food was obviously not enough to fill our stomachs.

Drinking only soup and broth every day wasn't enough to fill me up, so when I saw this sumptuous feast in front of me, I couldn't resist.

Wang Ping wiped away his tears, looked up at me, and his expression became somewhat agitated and embarrassed.

I stared at Wang Ping for a while, then finally sighed and said, "Quick, let's not talk about that now, let's eat first."

So we immediately started wolfing down the food. Almost all of the dozen or so dishes were gone in no time as we devoured them.

Now Wang Ping and I were both full. Wang Ping leaned against the stone wall, took a deep breath, and looked at the light shining above him with a worried expression.

“We two are full, but there are still so many people in the camp. Wang Xiaoxiao and the children haven’t been eating well lately, and Liu Jiaojiao and Qiji have lost weight. Can we really take all this food back?”

Hearing Wang Ping say that, I immediately shook my head: "No, if we were the only group in the camp, we could explain it back. But don't forget about Yang Rui and the others."

“Lin Xubo once told me about Yang Rui and his group that they came to this place to look for something. Lin Xubo didn’t explain exactly what they were looking for, but I always felt that if Yang Rui and his group found out that we now have this kind of ability, it would definitely cause trouble.”

"But what can we do? The people in the camp still won't have enough to eat!"

I sighed and leaned against the wall. After thinking it over, I finally decided to imagine something simpler.

For example, things that you often see on a deserted island, so bringing them back probably won't attract too much attention.

After discussing it with Wang Ping, we decided to take some potatoes back with us.

Firstly, we haven't eaten anything with a high starch content for a very long time.

Since the jicama disappeared, we haven't had a similar staple food for a long time. Apart from hunting wild animals, we can only drink fish soup and shellfish soup.

Potatoes have a high starch content, making them a good choice whether boiled or roasted.

Moreover, jicama and fruit can be found on this deserted island, so potatoes shouldn't be too difficult to bring back without arousing too much suspicion.

Moreover, the short-legged birds from before were quite nutritious. If imagining large animals like wild boars doesn't work, then imagining short-legged birds and rabbits shouldn't be too difficult.

Wang Ping and I immediately divided the work, and after more than an hour, sure enough, I imagined a dozen or so short-legged birds, and Wang Ping imagined several large bags of potatoes.

But after the matter was over, another problem arose because we couldn't take these potatoes back with us.

"There are just too many of these. How are we going to get them back without a sack?"

I was also a little confused for a moment.

"Don't rush, I'll go out and take a look. If there are any tough vines around here, the two of us can weave a few baskets and take some of these things back to eat. We can come back when we run out. Anyway, with this ability, we won't let everyone go hungry."

Wang Ping and I have eaten our fill and rested enough, so we are at our peak physical and mental strength.

We immediately went out to collect vines, and thankfully it had rained recently, making the vines much stronger.

We wove several baskets with vines, then bound the legs of all the short-legged birds with vines. Each of us carried a large basket of potatoes, and we strung the short-legged birds together with tree trunks before taking them back to the camp.

When they returned, it was already broad daylight, and the camp was bustling with activity. Chen Jian was standing at the entrance, holding a gun, his eyes sharp, clearly on guard duty.

Seeing Wang Ping and me return from outside, she rushed out excitedly: "Where did you two go? I went out to look for you this morning and found you weren't there. I was so scared! Xiao Qiang and Wang Xiaoxiao were worried sick. Why didn't you two say anything before you went out?"

Before Chen Jian could finish speaking, he saw what Wang Ping and I were carrying and his eyes widened immediately.

"Where did you get this?"

Wang Ping winked at Chen Jian, and Chen Jian immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't hide the joy on his face and looked at me and Wang Ping in surprise, stammering.

"This thing can be conjured up?"

I quickly glared at Chen Jian and quietly gestured for him to be quiet. Chen Jian then fell silent and turned around excitedly to greet the others.

Everyone gathered around and hurriedly carried the food that Wang Ping and I had brought back into the camp.

As I was walking into the camp with everyone, I suddenly saw Yang Rui standing at the warehouse entrance not far away, staring intently at me with a strange look in his eyes.
