Xi Xi glanced straight ahead at the "salt corpses" of the mother and child, having long been accustomed to such horrific sights.

In her previous life, she had witnessed similar scenes countless times.

Since they were out searching for supplies, there was no reason to pity them. She looked around expressionlessly; the Type A motorhome in front of her was clearly different from the one she owned.

Her RV uses a vehicle space expander with a proportional expansion design, resulting in a spacious and well-laid-out interior; while the RV in front of us is more like a longitudinally extended bus-type RV, with a unique shape but also a slightly long and narrow appearance.

Unfortunately, when Xi Xi approached for a closer look, she discovered that the interior of the RV was completely covered by crystals. These crystals densely adhered to every corner of the vehicle, completely obscuring any potentially useful equipment and facilities, rendering them utterly useless.

Just then, a system notification popped up: [Item Notification: This vehicle is unclaimed. Inherit vehicle assets?]

Upon seeing this notification, Xi Xi was momentarily stunned, and then a wave of thoughts washed over her.

The fact that this large A-type RV could be recognized by the game means that the impact it suffered was not as severe as imagined.

Thinking of this, a shadow crossed her eyes, and she began to re-examine the corrosive intensity of the surrounding salt crystals.

The "salt corpse" inside the car was clearly not killed by the violent impact, but was "swallowed alive" by the rapidly growing salt crystals while it was still alive!

“Yes…” Xi Xi responded to the game prompt while looking at her feet.

The surrounding fog dissipated, but the crystals formed from the salt fog continued to grow rampantly. Fortunately, she had light feather gloves as shoe covers, which protected her from harm.

Xi Xi looked around; the salt layers were quietly piling up like snowdrifts. She had to leave quickly…

With a burst of light particles, the vehicle body began to twist and deform violently. In the blink of an eye, the vehicle transformed into a , which slowly floated into Xi Xi's hand.

At the same time, as the vehicle lost its support, the crystals that had covered it fell off like snowflakes...

When Xi Xi dragged her slightly tired body into her RV, Chu Zhiqin was standing on the terrace looking around.

When Chu Zhiqin saw her beloved daughter appear before her safe and sound, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

She let out a soft sigh of relief, then quickly hugged the mountain of belongings in her arms and stepped down from the terrace.

The air was filled with a refreshing fruity fragrance, and only then did Xi Xi notice the tangerines that Chu Zhiqin had just picked.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Xi's mother's voice was filled with joy, whether from surviving a disaster or from a sense of accomplishment, it was hard to tell. "Look! They're all ripe! But I'm inexperienced, one rotted..."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Zhiqin, as if presenting a treasure, eagerly placed all the tangerines in her hand onto the dining table.

These mandarins are all round and plump, with a few crystal-clear water droplets still remaining on the peel. The peel has an incredibly warm orange-yellow hue and exudes an enticing luster.

"It's matured already?!" Xi Xi was deeply surprised.

This morning, when Chu Zhiqin was watering the fruit trees, she took a special look at the tangerines that were not yet fully ripe.

At that time, most of them were still greenish-yellow, looking quite immature, and it seemed that they were still a long way from being truly mature.

She had to think more highly of Yu Cuixi Guang once again. She gently stroked the fruit with her fingers; the peel was slightly rough, but it had a unique texture, and it was very fresh and elastic.

Chu Zhiqin first checked Xi Xi's hands and feet, and seeing that everything was fine, she then proudly began to admire the precious tangerines she had grown.

The mother only ever wished for Xi Xi's safety and clearly didn't care what supplies Xi Xi had scavenged.

Chu Zhiqin held the mandarin orange in her hands, feeling its heavy weight. She used her fingernail to make a small cut in the peel, and immediately, a fresh citrus aroma, with a hint of sweetness, wafted out.

The white veins between the peel and the flesh are clearly visible, like delicate lace. They separate easily from the flesh with a gentle tear, indicating that the ripeness is just right.

She broke off a segment of fruit and put it into Xi Xi's mouth first.

"Hmm..." Xi Xi was taking off her "shoe covers" and was speechless at her mother's nonsensical actions, but the fruit burst open instantly, making her eyes widen involuntarily.

So sweet!

The sweet juice spread throughout my mouth. It was a pure sweetness, with a hint of tartness, like a perfect combination of sunshine and rain.

Xi Xi couldn't remember the last time she had tasted such delicious fruit.

Even the fruit we had at the Dongli Post Station paled in comparison. The fruit at the post station wasn't exactly stale, but it was just average and mediocre, barely enough to provide the body with some essential vitamins.

At that moment, as the sweet juice slowly slid down her throat, a rich and refreshing aroma instantly filled her mouth, as if all the essence of the entire fruit tree had been concentrated into this small sip.

"Sweet! Not bad! Really good!" Chu Zhiqin chewed incessantly, occasionally letting out heartfelt exclamations of praise. After all, these were the fruits of her own labor, and a sense of accomplishment was practically overflowing from her heart.

"Sigh, why didn't I think of that? I should have saved the grape seeds back at Dongli Post Station. Maybe we could have grown a whole bunch of grapes by now!" Chu Zhiqin muttered to herself with a hint of regret. "It's just a pity that the grapes there were so sour, the quality was so-so..."

Just as Chu Zhiqin couldn't resist breaking off another segment and savoring the texture of the fruit again, the RV, which had been steadily parked on the sea, suddenly began to shake violently.

Xi Xi used a vehicle upgrade rune.

Chu Zhiqin felt a strong tremor under her feet, and then everything returned to calm.
