Chapter 187: Fruity Scent
Chef Wang, who was in his fifties, handed the approval list to the soldiers stationed at the material warehouse. He couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw their tall and thin figures opening the warehouse door.
"Why are you all still so skinny? I ordered canned beef stew with potatoes for everyone for lunch today. You have to eat more! It's better to keep yourself strong!"
The group of aunts and men helping behind Chef Wang all laughed. Regardless of age, they looked at the soldiers with a kind look as if they were juniors.
It seems that every Chinese person is born with the innate support and respect for soldiers.
These soldiers go out to kill zombies for the base every day and fight off several waves of zombies. There are casualties almost every day. Anyone with a conscience in the base will feel sorry for them.
Several young soldiers faced a wave of hot and kind gazes, their necks turned red, and they couldn't wait to pry open the lock of the warehouse door.
The warehouse door, which had a complicated unlocking process, was finally opened under the soldiers' enthusiastic anticipation.
The moment it was suddenly pulled to the side, a strong fruity aroma hit me in the face!
Chef Wang, who had been chattering non-stop, suddenly dropped his jaw in shock!
Outside the warehouse, a group of helpers, soldiers, and passing patrols all froze in astonishment, and the scene fell into complete silence...
"Hey, this, this! Where did all these fresh fruits come from?"
As soon as the warehouse door was opened, they were greeted by mountains of fruits, red, green, purple and yellow, bright in color and plump in size, neatly stacked according to categories.
Apples, watermelons, grapes, mangoes...
Every fruit is extremely fresh, crisp and tender, with an attractive luster. The mixed fruit aroma is so addictive that it makes people drool!
It’s not that no one brought fruits after the apocalypse, but there were very few people who did, and they were all consumed by then.
Moreover, in the past two months of the apocalypse, the fresh fruits in shopping malls and people's homes have basically rotted, and you can't find a single good one even if you search.
Those planted on the mountain also died or dried up because no one picked them or took care of them.
Apart from the wood-type psychics who occasionally catalyze some to satisfy their cravings, only the rich and powerful can eat it after purchasing it from the wood-type psychics at a high price.
For other people, being able to eat canned fruit on a normal day is already a great joy, let alone seeing so many fresh fruits.
So when such a large amount of fresh fruit suddenly appeared in front of everyone, their reaction was definitely not an exaggeration!
The moment the warehouse door opened, a small Xinjiang Korla pear rolled to the tip of Chef Wang's shoe.
Chef Wang was stunned and shocked, and his brain had not yet returned to normal. He subconsciously bent down to pick up the green pear.
I took a bite without even washing it!
The sweet pear juice instantly burst into every corner of his mouth, and the refreshing pear fragrance rushed to his brain and flowed into every cell of his body.
Chef Wang's eyes widened in admiration, and he slurped the pear juice back into his mouth to prevent it from dripping onto the ground.
Even though he hadn't eaten fruit for a long time, this pear definitely tasted better than any other kind of pear he had eaten before the end of the world!
Sweet and refreshing, with a rich pear flavor, not astringent, and snow-white flesh, it is absolutely top quality!
He took two bites with a crunching sound in his mouth, savoring the flavor to the fullest before he realized that he had casually eaten the fruits in the warehouse.
In the last days, every item coming in and out of the military warehouse had to go through strict approval and tracking, and what he did was a blatant violation of regulations.
But no one around him felt that his action was wrong. They all looked at him intently, waiting for his tasting results.
He urgently needed to confirm that the pile of fruits in front of him were real, and not their imagination or a prank conjured by some psychic!
Chef Wang swallowed the pear juice and flesh in his mouth in one gulp. As if he understood everyone's expectations, he suppressed his inner excitement and shouted to those around him, "It's real! Real Xinjiang Korla fragrant pears, excellent quality!"
As soon as this sound was heard, all the surrounding soldiers moved.
"Quick! Notify our superiors and tell them there's been a major discovery in the supply depot!"
This entire area is a military supply warehouse. The one that Chef Wang and his companions came to was a medium-sized warehouse. As soon as the superior officers received the news, they immediately reported it up the chain of command.
While the senior leaders of the material warehouse were waiting for orders from the top, they first ordered an inspection of other warehouses and unexpectedly found that nearly half of the warehouses had the same situation.
The variety of fruits here is completely beyond seasonal restrictions. There are fruits from all seasons, and the quantity is astonishingly large.
It can be called a miracle. After seeing what is happening before our eyes, even the most staunch materialist will doubt his or her beliefs.
At this time, Zhou Zhenghao was sitting in his office reading the letter Liu Yu left for him. The letter downplayed the behavior that shocked the entire S City military personnel.
There was a hurried knock on the door, and Lieutenant Zheng brought news that was exactly the same as in the letter.
But when Zhou Zhenghao actually stood in the supply warehouse and saw the mountain of fruits, he was still shocked.
There was no other reason, it was just a huge deal. He knew that Liu Yu's ability was unfathomable, but he didn't expect him to be so surprised.
I remembered what Liu Yu had instructed in the letter, hoping that this batch of fruits could be rewarded to every soldier in the military, and if there were extra, more people could taste it.
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red with sadness.
These fruits are enough for all the tens of thousands of soldiers in the base to eat!
Fruits are easy to spoil, and the longer they are stored, the more their taste will be affected.
So this evening, all the soldiers in the military cafeteria were notified to go to the training square after finishing their meals.
A large group of soldiers who had finished their meal and were about to retreat were suddenly stopped by the radio, and some of them, who were very curious, couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.
"What's wrong? Is there some emergency?"
Several young warriors in the crowd who knew about the situation exchanged excited glances with each other, hinting meaningfully, "Surprise, surprise! You'll all know in a moment!"
