Chapter 285 Rice with Cold Water is So Pitiful



Fang Xiyue was left alone, and all four husbands naturally wanted to live with her, so they all looked at Fang Xiyue expectantly.

Fang Xiyue didn't hesitate and directly chose Ye Zimo, because it was his turn today according to the order.

Su Zheyu, Jun Nanxuan, and Xiao Zihan had no choice but to live with other people.

They didn't rest during this time; they just assigned rooms first. Next, they would go to find supplies and kill zombies along the way.

When it comes to supplies, most people's first instinct is to buy from supermarkets, which have their own small warehouses.

But if they can think of something, others certainly can too, so the probability of finding supplies in these places is very low.

It's possible that it's a residential building that hasn't been cleared out, since many people have a habit of hoarding goods.

They didn't have any fresh ingredients, but they should still be able to find rice and flour, so they went straight to the nearest residential area.

Because all the survivors in Star City who could be moved have been moved to the Spruce District, there are still zombies in the other 7 districts. These zombies were all brought in with the help of Fang Xiyue.

There are an unusually large number of zombies in Star City, and the soldiers in Star City have been constantly killing them. However, due to the evolution of the zombies, they have become slightly more difficult to kill.

In addition, Star City itself doesn't have that many superhumans; they mainly rely on firearms and ammunition.

Of course, if the Superpower Hall sold more Superpower Liquid, there would be more Superpower Users in each city.

However, because there is a limit to the amount of energy liquid that can be purchased through the system, Fang Xiyue is powerless to change this. Since the territory does not belong to Fang Xiyue forever, the energy liquid supply limit is 2000.

Territory means that the entire city belongs to Fang Xiyue permanently, like Licheng, while only temporarily belonging to it does not count, like the other 17 cities.

Moreover, after this superpower competition, Fang Xiyue will return ownership of each city.

Without the threat from other countries, there's no need for her to cling to ownership; she can focus on managing Licheng.

Of course, she wouldn't return the scenic Xingcheng, Yunshui Bieyuan, and commercial street that belonged to her in Xingcheng, because those were things she had worked hard to earn, not things they gave her for free.

Not all 50 people went out; half of them stayed in the hotel, not wanting another team to take over the space they had worked so hard to clear.

Although I don't know where the other teams were teleported to, we'll run into each other sooner or later since we're all in the same area.

The group of 25 headed towards a residential area, and with Fang Xiyue's Ice Soul Sword clearing the way, they reached the apartment building with almost no effort.

"The zombies inside the building are killed by level two ability users, while level three and above ability users kill the zombies that gather outside."

Fang Xiyue directly assigned tasks to everyone, as there were fewer zombies in the building, making them easier to kill.

Fighting between people of the same level is really not easy, so they can only give a small number of zombies to the level 2 ability users, and let them deal with the rest.

There was nothing to be found in the first building; it had most likely been looted by someone else.

Moreover, there weren't many zombies in this building, so the conclusion is that the building with more zombies has a higher probability of containing supplies.

Therefore, Zhao Liang focused on finding buildings with a high number of zombies and then notified everyone to go there.

Sure enough, they found it; they found most of a bag of rice and half a bag of flour in a house.

Two months into the apocalypse, most of the residents' food reserves have been consumed. Those who have left over have basically all turned into zombies. This family of three was no exception.

With the success, everyone had more confidence in collecting supplies.

There were about 5,000 zombies in this residential area. Because we also needed to collect supplies, it took about two hours to clear them out.

A total of 80 jin of rice and 25 jin of wheat flour were collected.

It's 11 o'clock now, time to go back and make lunch. We can't go hungry on the first day.

The hotel has cooking equipment, allowing fire and water elements to work together to cook rice.

Since lightning is unusable, electricity is unavailable, making cooking a little inconvenient.

An ordinary person consumes about 1 jin (500 grams) of rice per day, but these superhumans have a much larger appetite, consuming at least 1.5 jin (750 grams) of rice per day. That means they would need 375 jin (183.5 kilograms) of rice in five days.

Therefore, they haven't collected enough supplies yet and must continue collecting.

Moreover, eating rice alone is too dry, so they need some side dishes. If they could find seeds, that would be even better, as they could have a wood-type ability user induce them to grow. Therefore, their first stop in the afternoon was a shop that sold seeds.

Even if the seeds have been collected, there will still be some scattered on the ground, and they won't mind whatever they are.

Why would people sell seeds in cities where there's no land? It's because some people enjoy growing vegetables on their balconies or rooftops, which is a kind of lifestyle pleasure.

These seed shops are doing quite well; they're almost never idle.

"That's all for this meal. Everyone can just eat with some water. This afternoon, we'll go find a place that sells seeds and collect more seeds to encourage growth."

There were 50 bowls of rice on the table. Because we were inexperienced, the rice wasn't cooked very well, but in these special times, it was good to have something to eat, and no one complained.

The contestant with water-based superpowers used cups from the hotel to prepare water for everyone; rice served with cold water was a bit pitiful.

But if you cook porridge, you really won't feel full, and you might need to go to the toilet more often.

There's no running water or electricity here, and the toilets smell terrible, so they have no choice but to use the public restrooms.

Have a water-elemental ability user leave a bucket of water there so they can flush the toilet anytime, anywhere.

We'll leave the toilet in the room unused; the smell is too strong to sleep in.

If water-based ability users were to prepare water for every room, the consumption would be too great.

As for taking a bath, forget about it, it's too much of a luxury.

"I can tolerate bad food, but not being able to shower or wash my hair is just too much to bear."

Zuo Yu wailed, clinging to Fang Xichen's shoulder. At that moment, she wished she were a water-based ability user.

When I was choosing the specific Ability Awakening Liquid, why didn't I think of buying the water-based one?

These past few days, she's watched battles between water-based ability users and discovered that water-based abilities are quite powerful; she just had a preconceived notion that they were weak.

If she possessed water-based superpowers, she could remain a delicate and beautiful young woman forever.

"It's only five days, just bear with it."

Their team only brought four water-based ability users, so it's unfair to make them provide drinking water all the time. They're here to compete, not to do logistical work.

"We can't use up all our superpowers, after all, we also need to have the ability to protect ourselves."

We used up all our superpowers on water-relieving attacks, so we can't fight back against zombies or other players from other cities.

So the four of us will try to produce as much water as possible for you every day. We can't guarantee that everyone can wash their hair and take a shower, but at least we can ensure that the supply for the girls is not a problem.

We guys should just bear with it. With short hair, we can wash it while washing our face. Girls have long hair, so we need to use more water.

As for showering, guys might smell for 5 days, but girls can shower every 2 days without any problem.
