Chapter 97 The captain told us to go east, absolutely not west.
Tao Yarong took out a lot of chilled beer and drinks from the refrigerator.
"Everyone must have a great time today to celebrate the founding of our big family. From now on, we must work together and follow me. Things will definitely get better and better."
These drinks and alcoholic beverages were originally from a snack shop that Meng Shiwan had collected, and they had been kept on the truck ever since.
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, we'll follow your instructions from now on."
"If the captain tells us to go east, we will absolutely not go west."
While they were enthusiastically expressing their opinions, Meng Shiwan had already finished a bowl of rice with the stir-fried vegetables and braised pork in front of her.
She stood up. "When you have free time, try to learn more about planting and the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine. The more detailed and in-depth the better. It's best to print out or copy the relevant materials and save them in case the internet goes down someday."
I'm full, you can continue.
Meng Shiwan glanced at Taxue beside her; it had almost finished eating. She picked Taxue up and left the restaurant.
She doesn't like crowds.
With her here, these people can't have enough fun.
It's better to get back to the RV sooner; everyone will feel more comfortable then.
As for cultivation and pharmacological knowledge.
When the farm expands in the future, she certainly won't be farming all day long by herself; she'll need help.
In this post-apocalyptic world, with industry shut down, there's no point in relying on Western medicine.
Given the existence of a farm, traditional Chinese medicine is very important for treating diseases, and it is essential to master the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine.
She's not supporting these people for nothing.
She had already reached the restaurant entrance when everyone realized what was happening.
Tao Yarong called out, "Sister, let's have a drink together."
Zhang Qiang called out, "Sister, I'll prepare a room for you."
Meng Shiwan waved her hand while holding Taxue, "No need, let's go back to the RV to sleep. You guys have fun. We'll leave the base tomorrow, so don't drink too much."
Tao Yarong scratched her head and replied, "Okay, sister."
She knew that Meng Shiwan had a lot of food stored in his space, so he probably didn't care about the table full of dishes now.
Meng Shiwan has a cold personality and wouldn't like this setting, so she didn't nag or try to persuade her to stay.
Luo Mei said regretfully, "Why isn't the captain eating such a delicious meal?"
Lei Zhe was showing off his stir-fried meat slices, saying, "My sister has a space, and she can give us the food, which means she still has some left, so there's no need to worry."
Su Jianzhong asked in confusion, "It's the apocalypse, why does the captain still want us to learn about planting and pharmacology?"
The land outside was so dry that there wasn't even a single living plant.
The base is busy building a canopy, and even without revealing any information, it's clear that other disasters may follow.
Otherwise, the base wouldn't have responded with such tension.
In such extreme circumstances, when even the land cannot be cultivated, what use is learning planting and pharmacology?
This puzzled them greatly.
Tao Yarong spoke up, "There must be a reason why I'm making you study. Just follow my instructions and study hard."
Tao Lina pondered for a moment, "Okay, we'll stay in the villa. We won't get too hot or hungry. It's just studying, not some great hardship. It's much better than before. We'll study hard and not just eat and stay for free."
"Yes, yes, I'll follow the captain's instructions. I'll go online to find information after I finish eating."
"Others are risking their lives for a bite to eat, while we only need to study and read books. It's really great."
"We're so lucky to have met the captain. Even in this apocalyptic world, we can still comfortably read books. A few days ago, we wouldn't have dared to even dream of it."
Everyone who talks about this has mixed feelings.
When the power went out in the morning, they were so hot that they felt dizzy and had no food in their stomachs. They were worried that they might suffer from heatstroke and faint at any moment, never to wake up again.
In the evening, they were enjoying air conditioning, eating meat, vegetables, and fruit, and drinking a little wine.
From now on, I'll have plenty of room and food, and my daily task will be to read and study.
Anyone who experiences this would be filled with emotion, feeling as if they were in a dream.
When Meng Shiwan left the living room, she took out some commonly used medicines from her personal belongings and left them there in case of emergency.
It was completely dark outside, and the stars in the sky were very bright.
Back in the RV, Taxue ran upstairs to play hide-and-seek, while Meng Shiwan turned on the monitor and continued playing her farming game.
I've been very busy these past few days, and now I finally have a moment of leisure.
Meng Shiwan took out a watermelon from her spatial storage, cut it in half, and nestled into the sofa with a spoon in her hand.
He was eating a watermelon while playing a game with a controller.
"System, I remember you helped me install blade rollers and crystal core collection boxes on the RV before, which required fifty crystal cores, right?"
Upon hearing this, the system knew a business opportunity had arrived. "Yes, yes, does it still need modifications? You can rest assured leaving it to me."
Meng Shiwan popped a mouthful of ice-cold watermelon into her mouth, "Make it cheaper."
System: "That won't work."
For the system, everything else is negotiable, but when it comes to earning crystal cores, it won't budge an inch.
Knowing its character, Meng Shiwan changed her mind and said, "Then give me a different service."
System: "What service?"
Meng Shiwan said, "I plan to install blade rollers on the other vehicles as well. Those vehicles are not immune to all damage. You should strengthen the metal of the blade rollers to make them of better quality so they don't break easily."
Upon hearing this, the system realized it was a big deal and immediately assured, "Don't worry, don't worry, the quality of what I make is top-notch. I'll handle the after-sales service for you, and I won't take your crystal cores for nothing. However, you'll need to prepare the necessary metal materials."
"Okay, we'll leave the base tomorrow and go find some materials first."
Meng Shiwan calculated that it would cost fifty crystal cores to make a blade roller for one car.
However, in areas teeming with zombies, a single vehicle can collect a hundred or so crystal cores a day, which is still quite worthwhile.
After she finished eating the watermelon, she played some games, then washed up and went to bed.
Ta Xue nestled in Meng Shiwan's arms, the two keeping each other company.
The villa was noisy as a dinner party had just ended.
They drank a little, got slightly tipsy, and chatted about everything under the sun. It was arguably their most relaxed day since the end of the world.
The security team was also very dedicated, acting as both security guards and caregivers.
They quickly cleared the table and cleaned the house.
Su Su arranged suitable rooms for everyone, and they each took their luggage and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Perhaps due to excessive excitement, apart from Tao Yarong and the others who slept soundly, most of the family members, looking at the exquisitely decorated room, were unable to sleep.
Since I can't sleep, I might as well get up and study.
He immediately grabbed his phone and searched online for various planting documents and information.
When Meng Shiwan woke up, it was a little after eight in the morning.
The air conditioning in the RV was at the perfect temperature, within a comfortable range, and she stretched out lazily on the soft bed.
Startled awake, Ta Xue imitated Meng Shiwan, lying on her back with her four paws outstretched in a big yawn.
Meng Shiwan didn't miss the chance to launch a sneak attack, and immediately placed her hand on Ta Xue's chubby belly and rubbed it twice.
"So soft."
She got up, parted a corner of the curtain, and looked outside.
The sun was scorching, and the temperature was already frighteningly high in the morning. The air was so hot it felt distorted, like a living hell.
