Chapter 441 The Life of a Cannon Fodder in the Apocalypse (16)



Li Jianjun saw so many rabbits and chickens at the bottom level; such numbers were rare to see outside of the large ships where his own troops raised them.

He asked impatiently, "How many animals are you planning to exchange for? Are you exchanging them for points?"

Li Jianjun didn't ask what supplies they wanted to exchange. After all, just by looking at the big ship, he knew they had plenty of things, so he didn't ask any further questions. He simply asked them how many animals they would exchange for points.

Right now, almost everyone is in a wait-and-see state regarding redeeming points, but unexpectedly, Miss Tang is quite bold and redeemed so many vegetables all at once.

"Let's replace half of them. Replace the chickens with the roosters, keep the hens to lay eggs, and keep two or three roosters for breeding. Replace the rest. As for the rabbits, pick out half of them and replace the ones that have been raised the longest."

The freezer is full of uneaten meat. Sell the animals you're temporarily raising if you can, but don't let anyone see the frozen meat.

Li Jianjun originally thought that Ms. Tang would only sell a few dozen, but he didn't expect her to have such great courage and sell half of them directly. He couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Thank you very much, Miss Tang. I'll go deliver the vegetables first, and then go back and ask about the exchange points for these chickens and rabbits. Don't worry, I definitely won't let Miss Tang suffer any losses."

"Then I'll have to trouble Comrade Li."

Li Jianjun had already decided in his mind that when he got back, he would definitely try to persuade his superiors to give Miss Tang as many points as possible on her ship, so that they could continue to cooperate next time.

When they returned to the place where the vegetables were grown, all the vegetables had been harvested by the puppets.

"Miss Tang, could you please have your people help carry these vegetables up to the deck? By the way, do you have a scale here? If not, I'll go get it from the small yacht."

"Yes, I'll have them weigh it. You can just record the weight yourselves. Once it's weighed, just take it directly to the deck."

They quickly ordered the puppets to weigh all the vegetables. Once they were weighed, they carried them up to the deck. However, each puppet was incredibly strong, so they didn't need to lift them; each one carried them up by themselves.

One person from each side came out to count. After all the vegetables had been weighed, they checked the numbers to make sure there were no problems, and then they took them directly to the deck.

I didn't expect that what looked like a lot of vegetables would actually amount to only about 3,000 jin (1,500 catties) when I weighed them.

Tang Baozhu had bought the baskets for the vegetables in advance. Watching them haul them away boatload by boat, she told them not to forget to bring the baskets back to her.

I have a total of 6,500 points, which is a round number. Although I can't use these points for now, I can redeem them for cold-weather gear when the temperature drops to extremely low.

Li Jianjun and his team made seven or eight trips in their small yacht, finally managing to haul away all the vegetables. When they returned to pick up the chickens and rabbits, they also inquired about how many points they could exchange for them.

Chickens and rabbits, probably because they are meat, give much more points than vegetables, at least ten points per pound. Rabbits, however, give slightly fewer points, only eight.

Is it because chicken is more nutritious?

Fortunately, Tang Baozhu didn't have any objections. They already had more meat than they could eat, so they might as well sell some.

We sold about 500 rabbits, each weighing three or four pounds. The roosters weighed five or six pounds, or even six or seven pounds.

More than 100 roosters were sold in total. All the chickens and rabbits were weighed, and these two items earned a total of several points.

Adding the points from the vegetables I bought this morning, I have a total of several points, giving me the feeling of becoming rich overnight.

However, I still feel it's not enough. I want to buy enough winter gear for the whole family, but these few points are far too few. It seems that I can exchange all the mature crops I plant in the future for points.

Anyway, there's still a long time before the severe cold arrives, and over so many years, we'll eventually have enough.

After seeing Li Jianjun and his family off, the family's life returned to normal. Every day, they either fished outside in the heavy rain or watched the TV shows or movies they had saved in advance.

On the day of the original owner's birthday, Lin Shengtian suddenly took out a diamond ring and said, "Baozhu, this ring was prepared when we first got together. However, you were still too young, so it felt a bit inappropriate to give it to you. Now that you've finally turned 20, are you willing to stay with me forever? No matter what happens, we will never be apart."

Tang Baozhu was genuinely pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected that he would still be thinking of celebrating her birthday at a time like this.

The two have been together for over a year, and after spending so much time together, feelings have developed between them.

She happily reached out her hand and let him put the ring on her finger. "I do. No matter how the world changes in the future, I believe that as long as we are together forever, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."

If there are still difficulties even with so many puppets and robots helping, then it really needs to be reworked and modified.

Seeing that Baozhu readily agreed, Lin Shengtian put the ring on her hand and then hugged her waist, spinning her around vigorously.

“Baozhu, I’m so happy. Although there’s nowhere to get a marriage certificate now, this ceremony makes me feel like it can be done openly and honestly.”

Seeing Lin Shengtian so happy, Tang Baozhu's heart, which had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, suddenly felt as if it had become young again.

"Don't worry, even if there's nowhere to get a marriage certificate, as long as we like each other, it won't be a problem."

After dinner, Lin Shengtian couldn't wait to take Baozhu back to their sleeping place.

Seeing how agitated he was, Tang Baozhu knew perfectly well that he was starting to act impulsively.

"I need to wash up first, otherwise I always feel sticky all over."

It's been raining for over a year, so it's incredibly humid. It's a little better inside because there are lots of machines that can remove the moisture, but it's not the same outside.

Lin Shengtian knew he was being too hasty, but at this moment he didn't want Baozhu to leave his sight.

"It'll save water, let's shower together."

After saying that, he picked up Baozhu and went into the bathing area.
