Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Liu Ruyan looked at the gun handed to her but finally shook her head. "I don't know how to use it. You'd better use it yourself!"

"I can teach you."

"Then wait until we get back. When we find a chance to go out of the base, you can teach me then."

This wasn't the time to learn.

Liu Ruyan knew very well what should be done at what time.

Even though the gun in front of her was really cool and she was indeed quite attracted to it, it wasn't the time for her to use it now.

Zhang Yuan didn't persuade her any more but nodded. "Okay, then I'll teach you when we get back."

The two of them didn't say anything more and climbed onto the roof of the car together.

There was a palm-thick layer of snow on the roof of the car. Zhang Yuan stretched out his long arm and swept the snow off directly with his clothes.

Just as the two of them had settled down on the roof of the car, they heard some noise coming from the woods.

The smell of the boiled rabbit meat was getting stronger and stronger. Not to mention the extremely hungry wild animals, even people would be attracted in large numbers if given enough time.

Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan looked towards the woods and saw several black figures running out from the depths of the woods.

Each of them was very big in size and also very fast.

"Fire!"

While saying these two words, Zhang Yuan had already pulled the trigger with his index finger.

Liu Ruyan didn't hesitate either. She aimed and fired in one smooth motion.

It had been a few days since Liu Ruyan last practiced shooting. At the beginning, she was a bit rusty and missed several shots in a row.

However, Liu Ruyan's state of mind didn't change because of this.

On the third shot, Liu Ruyan hit a wolf in the chest.

The power of this gun was quite extraordinary. With one shot, the wolf immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

Zhang Yuan beside her was much more accurate with his shooting.

Every shot hit the head, and none of his shots missed.

Even though she had seen Zhang Yuan shoot before, seeing this scene, Liu Ruyan couldn't help being amazed.

Zhang Yuan was usually cheerful and a bit talkative, but at this time, he had a cold and decisive temperament.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was just like the gun in his hand, dazzling, shining brightly, and invincible.

Liu Ruyan just took a glance at Zhang Yuan from the corner of her eye and soon focused on the woods again.

For Liu Ruyan, this was not only a task to be completed but also a good opportunity to practice shooting.

After all, usually, there weren't so many prey that were not small in size and also very fast, allowing her to shoot as she liked.

After the two of them worked together to kill more than a dozen wolves and several wild boars, finally no more black figures rushed down the mountain.

Liu Ruyan took out her binoculars and looked towards the depths of the mountain. She could see that there were still quite a number of wolves and wild boars standing there.

She didn't know whether it was because of their good eyesight or some kind of intuition, but Liu Ruyan felt that her eyes met theirs.

It was broad daylight, but the eyes of these animals seemed to be glowing green, which made people's backs tingle.

Liu Ruyan wanted to take a closer look, but then she saw them turn around at the same time and run towards the depths of the mountain.

It wasn't until she couldn't see them anymore that Liu Ruyan put down the binoculars.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan also sat up straight again and raised his eyebrows at Liu Ruyan. "We've got a good harvest!"

Although she didn't know how many contribution points a wolf was worth, a wild boar could be exchanged for five or six hundred contribution points. These several wild boars were worth two or three thousand contribution points.

In terms of contribution points, Liu Ruyan considered herself rather poor.

Now that she had suddenly become rich, of course she was happy, and her eyes curved with a smile.

"Let's go and get the rabbit meat first."

As Zhang Yuan said this, he held onto the roof rack of the car with one hand and jumped off the car with a leap.

When Zhang Yuan landed, he didn't even stagger. He stretched out his hand towards Liu Ruyan. "I'll help you down."

"No need."

Liu Ruyan refused. Just like Zhang Yuan had just done, she held onto the roof rack with one hand and jumped to the ground with a leap.

Liu Ruyan's years of martial arts practice hadn't been in vain, and the ten years she struggled to survive in the apocalypse hadn't been wasted either.

Not to mention this height. Even if she were standing on the second floor, Liu Ruyan would dare to jump down directly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan just smiled and didn't say anything more.

The two of them walked towards the woods and soon arrived at the side of the gas stove.

Water had been added to the pot. By now, the rabbit meat had turned white and there were some floating foam on it.

Zhang Yuan didn't show any sign of dislike at all. "Take it out. Later, add some seasonings and stir-fry it. It must be delicious."

"Did you bring seasonings?" Liu Ruyan asked with a smile.

"Of course I did!" Zhang Yuan answered as a matter of course. "Rabbit meat is so rare. We definitely can't waste any of it!"

What Zhang Yuan said was quite reasonable, and Liu Ruyan nodded along.

"Anyway, there's no one around here. Why don't we stir-fry it here?" Liu Ruyan suggested.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Ruyan a bit hesitantly. "But I don't know how to cook."

"I do."

"Really? Then I'll leave it to you."

While saying this, Zhang Yuan had already turned around and quickly ran towards the side of the car.

He went quickly and came back quickly too.

Zhang Yuan ran back to Liu Ruyan, opened the plastic bag in his hand. "I brought some of all my seasonings. Take a look and see which ones you need to use?"

Liu Ruyan leaned over to look and saw that there were quite a number of bottles, jars, and bags inside.

From cooking oil, salt, soy sauce to star anise, Chinese prickly ash, and dried chili peppers, everything was available.

He was really well-prepared!

Liu Ruyan nodded. "These are enough."

"Then I'll take out the rabbit meat first. I'll go get the lunch boxes."

Zhang Yuan was full of action. In a short while, he made another round trip and brought back both of their empty lunch boxes.

The rabbit meat was taken out and put in the lunch boxes. The water in the pot was directly poured out. First, the pot was scrubbed with snow.

Zhang Yuan then poured some hot water to rinse the pot clean and then put it back on the gas stove. By the way, he thoughtfully lit the fire.

Watching his series of actions, Liu Ruyan was both amazed and found it a bit funny at the same time.

Zhang Yuan really loved meat!

The iron pot needed to be heated until it was very hot and preferably started to smoke before pouring in the oil.

While waiting, Liu Ruyan asked curiously, "Since you don't know how to cook, why did you buy so many seasonings?"

The seasonings were sold in the supermarket in the base, but the prices weren't cheap.

"I not only bought seasonings but also found some recipes and planned to study them by myself. However, I haven't achieved any results for the time being.

Ordinary food is okay, but for rabbit meat like this, it would be a bit of a waste for me to study cooking with it."

Although it's good for a person to have a clear understanding of himself, Zhang Yuan's being so self-aware made Liu Ruyan a bit at a loss for words.

Just at this time, the pot was hot enough. Liu Ruyan unscrewed the oil bottle and poured in the oil.

After the oil was hot, she first put in various spices and dried chili peppers and stir-fried them.

It was a pity that there were no scallions, ginger, or garlic, but when away from home, one couldn't be too particular.

As she stirred-fried, the fragrance quickly filled the air.

Liu Ruyan picked up the lunch box and poured the rabbit meat into it. After stir-frying it for a while, she then started to add various oils, salts, and sauces.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and gave Liu Ruyan a thumbs up. "With your cooking skills, if you opened a restaurant in the base, the business would surely be booming!"
