Xu Hua simply ignored the foodies whose minds were full of food and went straight to the edge of the pool.
At the bottom of the pool, the school of fish that Song Tiantian had just fished with her mental power had not yet completely calmed down.
Some of them were circling in the pool, crowded together, for fear of missing the next wave of mental power filaments.
Xu Hua looked towards the pool. When he saw the fish swarming in the pool, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "They are all sea fish!"
"Yeah, yeah, and they're all crammed into this pool." Zhou Ke said this with a hint of regret: "It's just that we didn't bring a net. If we had a fishing net, we could have caught a lot of them right away."
"That's a pretty good idea." Xu Hua brought him back to reality and said, "It's a pity that soldiers like us can't do business. Otherwise, with your business acumen, you would definitely make a fortune."
"Hehe, actually I think so too." Zhou Ke didn't notice Xu Hua's complaints at all, but agreed with them immediately.
Xu Hua felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard this, and finally chose to turn his head away and not look at this frustrating guy.
However, after feeling upset, there was still a realistic problem facing Xu Hua and others. That is, they now had food, but not enough firewood.
Although they went back to the cave to rescue some branches after entering the secret passage early yesterday morning, they had almost been used up after cooking the meal in the morning.
Fortunately, the temperature in the secret passage was much higher than that in the cave, so they did not feel cold. However, so many fish could not be cooked by the remaining flames in the fire.
Xu Hua glanced at the fire and said directly, "I'll go up and get some firewood."
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a series of dragging sounds coming from the entrance of the secret passage.
This made everyone present turn their heads to look outside the secret passage. Xu Hua, Bai Shangye and others subconsciously held down their weapons and protected Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan.
Seeing the vigilant looks of Xu Hua and others, the audience in the live broadcast room also became nervous.
But just as they were staring at the entrance to the secret passage nervously, a bunch of branches with fruits hanging on them were slowly moving downwards from the entrance of the tunnel.
At the same time, they could vaguely see a familiar golden figure among the branches.
I don’t know if it noticed the gaze coming from below, but the little guy in the front, whose half body was hidden by the branches, couldn’t help but stick his head out from the gap between the branches and squeaked a few times at the monkeys and Song Tiantian and the others who were looking at him below.
It was this voice that instantly dissipated the tense atmosphere in the live broadcast room.
[Wait, isn't this a golden monkey? ]
[Huh~ I thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be caused by these monkeys!]
[When did they get to the secret passage? Why are they dragging so many branches down now?]
[Could it be that he knew Tiantian and the others were short of firewood, so he went up to collect branches?]
You're overthinking it, aren't you? Didn't they see fruit hanging from those branches? Maybe they were hungry and wanted to eat, so they went out and brought back some branches with fruit hanging on them!
[It's possible! After all, monkeys need to eat too!]
【That makes sense! 】
After seeing that these branches were moved down by golden monkeys, Xu Hua and others let down their guard.
Bai Shangye breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the wooden storage bag he had taken out back into the wooden storage bag on his waist. "I thought something happened up there, but I didn't expect it was these little guys who did it."
"It's not their fault," Xu Hua said. "After all, it's already this late, so it's normal for them to want to go out and find some food to fill their stomachs."
"Indeed." Lou Yiqiang said, looking at the fruit tree branches held by the golden monkeys. "But you know what, these golden monkeys are quite smart. They know that they can't pick many fruits by hand, so they carried the entire fruit tree branch back."
【What Brother Yi said is true. 】
[Golden monkeys are indeed the smartest of the monkeys. They can even think of using this method to bring back more fruit.]
[Wait, golden monkeys only eat fruit, so can we leave these branches and burn them?]
[Yeah, this way, we can save Brother Xu and the others from having to go up and pick up branches!]
[Oh my god, is there anyone who doesn't know that fresh branches can't be burned directly?]
[For your information, burning fresh branches will produce a lot of smoke, so after chopping or picking up wet firewood, it is generally recommended to let it sit for a while until it dries before burning it.]
[What the above person said is correct, but it's already this late, there's nothing Tiantian and the others can do if they don't want to burn wet firewood, right?]
[Yes, it's raining so hard outside now that almost all the firewood and branches are soaked. There's no dry firewood left outside waiting for people to pick up.]
[While this is true, it is not recommended to use wet firewood in a relatively closed environment like this. Otherwise, the diffuse smoke will make it difficult for people to breathe, which will cause unnecessary injuries.]
"What should we do? We can't just let them eat it raw, right? Even if adults can handle it, how can children possibly tolerate it?"
While Song Tiantian and the others were arguing in the live broadcast room about whether they should use wet firewood or fresh branches directly to make a fire, Xu Hua suddenly received a message.
Xu Hua clicked it and a smile flashed in his eyes: "It seems that we don't need to go out to find firewood."
"What?" Bai Shangye looked at him hurriedly.
Xu Hua smiled and said, "Someone has brought us supplies."
"What? Sending us supplies at this time?" Lou Yiqiang said in disbelief.
"Yes!" Xu Hua didn't expect that Lu Chuanbei and the others would find a way to transport a batch of supplies down at this time, but when he thought of the items in that batch of supplies, Xu Hua couldn't help but secretly praise that this batch of supplies came just in time.
"Then why are you waiting for us? Let's go get it quickly." Lin Heyue said as he was about to walk out of the secret passage.
Xu Hua quickly stopped him: "No need to go, just ask Xiaobai to send a drone to retrieve it."
Hearing this, Lin Heyue's eyes lit up: "Yes, we also have drones. With them, it would be so easy to get supplies."
As soon as Xu Hua finished speaking, Bai Shangye took the initiative to operate the drone and drove it out of the cave.
Xu Hua even directly sent the location of Lu Chuanbei and his team's supply delivery to Bai Shangye. With accurate positioning, the drone arrived at the supply delivery point in less than three minutes.
Several people who couldn't wait to know where the supplies were all crowded around Bai Shangye and looked at the operating screen in his hand.
Seeing this, Bai Shangye directly played the video so that everyone could clearly see the entire process of finding the supplies.
The video shows the cliff where they landed. There are supply packages tied together with simple small parachutes, which are blown by the wind and scattered in several places not far from the cliff. Two or three packages even fell into the woods in front.
Lu Chuanbei and his team calculated the rain and wind direction below the cliff several times on the mountain before dropping a few material packages. However, they didn't expect that even so, they were still affected by the wind and not all of them fell below the cliff.
Fortunately, the location where these packages landed was not too far away, and they also left locators in them, so the drone quickly found these packages based on the positioning.
Although the drone is small in size, its load-bearing capacity is impressive.
Look, all the material packages it found, no matter how big or small, were tied together one by one by the drone using automatic hooks and ropes, and then directly hooked up and transported back.
Because of this, these eight or nine supply packages were almost stuck at the entrance of the cave and could not move forward.
It was only after Bai Shangye saw this situation that he quickly took Lou Yiqiang and Zhou Ke to unload some of the supplies, allowing the packages to smoothly enter the cave entrance and return to the secret passage.
After moving all the packages to the bottom of the secret passage and piling them up into a small mountain, Bai Shangye couldn't help but ask, "Old Xu, what exactly is in all those supply packages that Xiao Lu and the others prepared for us?"
"Just open it and you'll know." Although Xu Hua already knew the specific contents of the package from the supply list sent by Lu Chuanbei, in order to give them a surprise, he decided to let them open it and take a look themselves.
As soon as Xu Hua finished speaking, Song Tiantian, Bai Shangye and others beside him all rushed towards the package eagerly.
Song Tiantian quickly took out a multi-function knife from her bag and slashed it at the largest package closest to her. With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the package.
Just as Song Tiantian was expectantly trying to open it a little and look inside, she discovered that there was another layer tightly wrapped inside.
Seeing this, Song Tiantian couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Why is there another layer?"
"It must be because it's raining outside, so they added a few more layers of waterproofing." Xiangfangnan guessed.
Song Tiantian nodded: "Maybe."
As she spoke, Song Tiantian continued to pick up her small knife and started to scratch the package. After scratching countless times, the things stored in the package were officially revealed.
The package that Song Tiantian opened was made up of two huge bamboo baskets buckled together and tied tightly together with rain cloth and tape.
In the bamboo basket, Song Tiantian saw not only bags of dry goods, millet, vermicelli noodles, flour, and other supplies, but also three stainless steel basins of different sizes and several sets of stainless steel bowls and chopsticks...
