"Really!" Several people looked at Zheng Yifan in astonishment. They wanted to believe, to believe that the place had already been conquered by humans.
They had no idea how powerful the force was that could drive Zombies out of a city and occupy it, but they knew one thing: Ancheng was famous for its many botanical gardens and lush greenery, which naturally meant there were plenty of Essence Fruits. Perhaps they could risk their lives for a chance to get some?
It should be noted that only in the past few months had even the lowest-grade Essence Fruits seen a rise in value; they had never considered eating such things before.
All the Low-Level Essence Fruits had rotted away until life became unbearable, and only then did people remember these items that had once been discarded on the ground.
Now, with a glimmer of hope for survival, they all wanted to go see if they could make it. If not, at least they could gather some of the lowest-grade Essence Fruits.
"Thank you! Thank you for the news!" Several people were extremely excited. They all bowed deeply to Zheng Yifan. However, just as they were about to kneel, they seemed to catch a glimpse of Zheng Yifan's gaze and quickly changed it to a respectful bow.
Then, looking at the crops they had grown, filled with a mix of determination and reluctance, they began to take their sickles without caring whether the crops were ripe or poisonous; after all, it was all wheat.
One by one, they cut down as much as they could and prepared to boil it in water for cooking.
Regardless of whether it was edible or not, even if it was like Guanyin soil, at least plants still contained nutrients, enough to sustain them until they reached Ancheng.
They had already resigned themselves to death; this was far better than during the famine years when there was nothing but tree bark to eat and people resorted to gnawing on Guanyin soil.
"Li Ning, give them all the food from our luggage; we have enough to eat," Zheng Yifan said. He wasn't heartless after all. There was indeed food in Li Ning's large backpack behind him, and quite a bit of it. As for more, it was stored in Zheng Yifan's Storage Space.
Over time, this had become no secret; there was nothing wrong with exposing his Storage Space now.
Li Ning often carried food on him because he feared getting separated from Zheng Yifan; his own head was simply too terrifying. He frequently went missing, so he needed to prepare food for himself.
"Understood!" Li Ning replied and began pulling items from his backpack one by one and tossing them aside on the road.
In the distance, there were already survivor vehicles parked; however, they truly dared not approach. The two individuals who could clearly take them out in an instant were intimidating. They watched from afar, waiting for these two to leave before moving forward; nobody minded waiting a few hours for that. Judging by their current actions, it would likely only take a few minutes.
But what did they see? The person with the Travel Bag actually pulled out a large sack of rice from his pocket along with several iron cans.
That was a can! In the apocalypse, it could be worth a life. The price of canned food was no joke; one can could easily be exchanged for a beautiful girl.
Saliva was about to drip from their mouths, but unfortunately, they didn’t dare to approach.
Li Ning's actions filled several people with excitement; it seemed their lives were saved. And they had such a precious item.
"This... we can't accept it!" A few of them said nervously, afraid of offending Zheng Yifan.
"If you're worried about others snatching it away, just eat it. No one can force you to spit it out!" Zheng Yifan replied impatiently.
He wasn’t lacking food; even if someone offered him canned food for free, he wouldn’t particularly enjoy it. He preferred freshly made meals.
He had the means to return to the real world and prepare a grand feast without any trouble. Many places in the real world had already regained peace; zombies could hardly withstand the blade of the Hope Group.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The group excitedly pulled the items closer and poured all the cans into the pot.
The pot wasn’t large; they had initially intended to cook something, so there was already hot water inside. Within less than a minute, the cans heated up after being added. Li Ning had brought several cans of Braised Pork and Braised Pork Ribs, which all tasted similar anyway.
The group began to devour the canned food ravenously, while another pot was already cooking porridge.
They hadn’t eaten anything good in a long time. Now, with this braised pork meal, they felt they could endure without eating for three days straight.
Meat provided them with the calories they desperately needed. They also noticed other items, like three or four Energy Bars. However, they quietly tucked those away, not letting anyone see them. These were lifesaving items.
Li Ning didn’t mind tossing out a few of his Energy Bars; Zheng Yifan would surely replenish them later. However, he wouldn’t hand over Functional Beverages or similar items; those were poison for these people since they were specially formulated for Superpowered Individuals at the Hope Gathering Place and carried certain toxicity. But for Superpowered Individuals, they were valuable goods.
As the group gorged themselves, Zheng Yifan watched with a smile and said to Li Ning, "Later, I’ll treat you to a feast. What do you want? Thai food or Indian? If not, we can go for Hunan cuisine. If all else fails, let’s have hot pot."
"Let’s go for hot pot; it’s been ages since I had it," Li Ning replied with a smile on his face.
Going out with the boss naturally had its perks—there were plenty of delicious options. He hadn’t eaten much French cuisine or post-apocalyptic dishes before; now? He was almost tired of it all.
"Sure! Let's find a place to have hot pot later. We'll get something good," Zheng Yifan said with a smile.
"Glug!" The sound of several people swallowing echoed nearby; it came from a group slurping canned soup. They were truly reluctant to eat, trying to finish every drop of soup, but each person had barely eaten much from the cans.
What did they just hear? Hot pot! Are they joking? Is there still lamb to eat? The canned food was all expired; it was only because the apocalypse had come that humanity's bodies had adapted better, allowing them to eat it. Hot pot isn't made from canned food; lamb is frozen, and without a cold storage facility, it wouldn't even be possible to operate. Fresh lamb was out of the question unless they wanted to provoke the wild beasts in the mountains.
After all, sheep are wild beasts too! Very fierce ones.
Clearly, they misunderstood.
Zheng Yifan didn't mind and offered no explanation. He simply continued chatting with Li Ning about trivial matters, waiting for the others to finish their meal before moving on.
Once they passed the convoy, everyone felt brave enough to continue their actions.
However, they looked at Zheng Yifan and Li Ning with trepidation while gazing at the Survivors with envy. But for now, they dared not provoke them. The two were walking slowly while chatting, still within sight.
But their conversation felt a bit out of place.
"Boss... you promised me you'd help me find that classic version of the PS4 and the Old-fashioned Disc. Those are Classic Old Games that can't be found online in this Post-Apocalypse..." (To be continued.)
