They searched every shop, big and small, in Sanhe Town, but found absolutely nothing of food or warmth. However, some equipment shops still had some items left.
Jiang Wan did not give up. She searched every store and finally managed to find a small amount of food in the refrigerators of every household.
They also found dozens of tents, which they stored in the tree hole space, intending to take them back to the safe zone.
So far, although they have started cutting down trees to build wooden houses and building stone houses in their safe zone, these are not things that can be accomplished overnight, so tents are still in short supply.
The group searched Sanhe Town thoroughly, but found nothing.
"Shall we go?" Yu Fen, who was driving, asked.
Cheng Zhen sighed, "Let's go back."
This place isn't far from Vermilion City, so it's obvious that we can't just leave supplies lying around for them to pick up.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but worry. If they still couldn't find food, the backup supplies in her space wouldn't be enough to feed 10,000 people for several days.
Of course, her and the twins' food rations are not to be touched.
As the car drove along, the twins kept looking out the window. Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoxin said, "Mom, there are so many rivers in this Sanhe Town! I don't think it should be called Sanhe Town!"
"It should be called Duohe Town!"
Jiang Wan casually agreed, "Yes, Xin Xin makes a good point."
Jiang Xiaoshu couldn't help but roll her eyes. How tacky.
"Mom, there are so many rivers here, there must be lots of delicious food!"
"How could that be?" Yu Fen was the first to refute, laughing as he explained to her, "We're in an oxygen-deficient apocalypse right now. All the areas in Sanhe Town are the same as the wilderness—there's no oxygen! Even if there used to be a lot of fish and shrimp in these rivers, they've all suffocated to death now!"
"Tsk tsk, who knows, there might even be zombie fish inside!"
Cheng Zhen frowned and glared at him, then reminded him unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. There's no oxygen in the water, but there are microorganisms. The fish and shrimp have long been eaten down to their bones. How could they turn into zombies?"
"Hey, who says you can't turn into a zombie if you only have bones?"
Yu Fen disagreed and continued driving forward.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoxin pointed to the river not far away and said, "Look, there's something there!"
Everyone instinctively looked over, and couldn't help but stare. It was exactly what they had been told – those things floating in the river, what else could they be but zombies?!
Yu Fen couldn't help but gasp, then sighed, "Luckily, they're all aquatic creatures and won't come ashore!"
Along the way, Cheng Zhen and Jiang Xiaoshu activated their purification abilities, so they did not encounter any dangers or obstacles. Even if those creatures came ashore, they did not pose a real threat to them.
Jiang Wan suddenly called for a stop, pointing to the undulating water not far away and asked, "Is there something else in the water?"
Yu Fen couldn't help but rub his arms: "What? There are monsters too? Holy crap! We'd better hurry back and check other places for supplies as soon as possible!"
Jiang Wan asked Jiang Xiaoxin, "Xinxin, are there any other creatures in the water?"
Jiang Xiaoxin was just worried that she wasn't as useful as her brother, but upon hearing this, she immediately activated her sensory ability and said happily, "Yes! There's a large pond there with artificially cultivated water chestnuts and water bamboo!"
Cheng Zhen was overjoyed: "Really?"
He gave the little girl an encouraging thumbs-up, and then continued to ask, "Can Xinxin still taste other foods?"
She strained her senses, and after a moment, pointed to a spot not far away and said, "There's a taro field over there; they missed harvesting it."
Hearing this, you could tell she was asking the plants for information again.
Cheng Zhen wanted to pat her head with a sense of relief, but as soon as he reached out, she dodged away, clearly disdainful of being touched by him.
Yu Fen rarely saw his boss make a fool of himself, and he wanted to laugh, but when he met his boss's eyes, he couldn't help but back down. He quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, there are mutated zombies in the water! How are we going to collect supplies underwater?"
After saying that, he still had a question, "Isn't it said that there are microorganisms in the water? Won't those water chestnuts be eaten by the microorganisms in the water?"
Jiang Xiaoxin rolled her eyes at him without any politeness: "Because these microorganisms are carnivores?"
Since she knew that, it means that the arrowhead and water bamboo shoots underwater were fresh!
Yu Fen chuckled: "Xin Xin is so funny!"
As soon as he parked the car, Jiang Wan pulled out two diving suits from her tree hole space. Thanks to her previous raid on an outdoor sports equipment store in Xiashan Town, she had several diving suits of various sizes and brands in her tree hole space.
Seeing her begin to dress methodically, Cheng Zhen frowned and then stopped her: "I'll go downstairs, why are you going downstairs?"
"I'll help you collect it."
Jiang Wan pulled her hand away from his and said, "This pond isn't very big. Even if it's full of water chestnuts or water bamboo shoots, how much can it produce?"
Forehead……
Cheng Zhen hadn't thought about that question.
Jiang Wan continued, "There's too little stuff. If you take it all back at once, they won't cherish it. Instead, they'll lose confidence. Disunity can easily lead to chaos. In that case, why not hide half of it in my space and take it out after we've finished eating? That would actually motivate everyone to be more enthusiastic about life."
Cheng Zhen smiled. Couldn't he see that she wanted to secretly save some for the three of them to eat slowly?
"But it's too dangerous underwater!" He asked himself if he could be completely safe going down there.
“In that case, I should be the one to go down, and you can be responsible for protecting me.” Jiang Wan’s mind worked extremely fast; he knew he was better than anyone else.
In the end, three adults went into the water. Cheng Zhen used his purification ability to protect them and was on alert for any emergencies. Yu Fen and Jiang Wan were responsible for digging up water chestnuts and arrowheads to sweep up the pond.
The two little ones stayed on the shore, squatting on the ground digging for crystals, while Jiang Xiaoshu activated her purification ability to protect their safety.
Suddenly, a giant zombie fish leaped out of the water. The three people working in the water used their abilities to protect themselves, but they were all futile. The zombie fish went straight ashore, its mouth wide open with sharp teeth, and flew swiftly towards the two little ones!
"careful!"
"Xinxin, Xiaoshu! Get out of the way!"
Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen shouted!
At this critical moment, Jiang Xiaoshu's purification ability suddenly kicked in, blocking the zombie fish's fatal bite.
At the same time, the zombie's powerful bite accumulated a great deal of energy, causing Jiang Xiaoshu to suffer a backlash from the purification ability and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Xiaoxin was extremely anxious: "Mom! Xinxin can't find Huahua to help! I can't help my brother! Mom, come and save me!"
