Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Liu Ruyan shook her head. "There's no shortage of chefs in the base."

Although Liu Ruyan didn't know exactly how many people there were in the First Base, she thought there must be quite a lot of people.

And there must also be many people who could cook.

Why didn't these people open restaurants? It was simply because there was a lack of ingredients.

It's not the time before the apocalypse anymore!

Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Zhang Yuan just smiled and didn't say anything in response.

This topic was a bit heavy, and neither of them wanted to talk about it much.

After stir-frying for a while, Liu Ruyan poured hot water into the pot. It was best that the hot water covered the rabbit meat.

She put the lid on the pot and looked around, a bit worried. "Those people are also coming to the mountains to look for wild animals. Will they come here following the smell?"

"Whether they come or not doesn't matter. Nobody can take our meat away from us."

These words were quite domineering, completely different from his usual cheerful appearance.

Even if Zhang Yuan hadn't said that, Liu Ruyan wouldn't have let anyone take away this pot of rabbit meat either.

However, Liu Ruyan still hoped that nobody would come and not disrupt their enjoyment of the meal.

Perhaps they were lucky. Until the rabbit meat was stewed and cooked, nobody came looking for them.

Even the wild boars and wolves didn't come back again.

Actually, it was still early. It wasn't even eleven o'clock in the morning yet, but neither of them cared. They directly got into the car with the cooked rabbit meat.

The two of them sat in the trunk, each holding a lunch box, and started eating with the pot in between them.

There wasn't much rabbit meat in one bag, only about two or three catties.

Both of them had a relatively big appetite. After eating all the meat in the pot, they took the gas stove outside the car, boiled the soup in the pot again, and cooked some dried noodles in it.

The dried noodles were taken out by Liu Ruyan. Zhang Yuan didn't ask any more questions. He just stared eagerly at the noodles rolling in the pot. "When can we eat them?"

Looking at Zhang Yuan's appearance, Liu Ruyan was speechless for a moment.

Those who didn't know would think that he had been hungry for a long time!

However, in fact, there was at least one and a half catties of rabbit meat in his stomach at the moment.

The noodles were quite easy to cook and were cooked soon.

Looking at the noodles boiling in the red soup, Liu Ruyan sighed in her heart.

This pot of noodles was good in every aspect except that it lacked something green.

But on second thought, it was already good to have something to eat. One shouldn't be too picky.

The two of them shared and ate a pot of noodles. Their stomachs were full and round, and they leaned against the car wall, not wanting to move.

Liu Ruyan narrowed her eyes, feeling that such a day was quite nice.

Originally, after being reborn, Liu Ruyan thought that in this life, she would probably still fight alone.

But somehow, she got to know Zhang Yuan. The two of them became neighbors and were now considered partners.

This feeling seemed quite good too!

Just as Liu Ruyan was thinking this, she saw Zhang Yuan suddenly sit up straight. "You take a rest for a while. I'll go and wash the pot and the bowls and chopsticks."

Zhang Yuan was full of action. While speaking, he had already taken the pot and got out of the car.

Looking at Zhang Yuan's back, the corners of Liu Ruyan's mouth slightly curled up.

Just now she had just thought it was nice, but now she thought it was even better.

After Zhang Yuan washed the bowls and chopsticks clean, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan went together to pull back the bodies of the wild boars and wolves.

Those that could fit in the trunk were put in the trunk, and those that couldn't fit were put on the roof of the car.

Fortunately, the car was big enough and had a strong load-bearing capacity, so they managed to load them all.

It's just that the speed was a bit slower when they were on their way back.

The two of them drove north all the way. When passing the first village, they didn't see the rescue vehicles.

Liu Ruyan took a look outside. "They should have already rescued people and taken them back."

Zhang Yuan nodded. "They probably did. Most people should be willing to follow and go back to the base together."

Even if the people in the countryside had their own stored grain, the stored grain would eventually be used up one day.

Now that crops couldn't be planted, staying outside the base would surely lead to a dead end sooner or later.

Liu Ruyan was just about to speak when she heard screams coming from afar.

Liu Ruyan was stunned at first, and then turned to look at Zhang Yuan. "Did you hear anything?"

Zhang Yuan listened carefully. After a while, he nodded. "It seems that someone is screaming."

The sound was carried by the cold wind, and it was hard to tell exactly where it came from.

The two of them exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything about going to check it out.

However, someone didn't want them to leave like this.

Zhang Yuan slowly stepped on the brake and gestured towards the front. "Someone has buried something under the snow. It seems that they don't want us to pass."

Liu Ruyan looked ahead and saw that there was a thick layer of snow in the middle of the road in front.

There was also snow in other places, but it was just a thin layer, which was the snow that had accumulated after the snowplows had passed by.

But in one area, the snow was obviously much thicker than in other places.

Anyone with a bit of sense could tell that there was something wrong with it.

Liu Ruyan couldn't help thinking of those bald men before. They also placed iron nail boards on the road to block her way.

Those bald men were blatant, but now these people were hiding in the dark.

A playful look flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. "They should know that we can tell something is wrong. They're just waiting for us to get out of the car."

Now it seemed that there was nobody on either side of the road, but Liu Ruyan believed that as long as she and Zhang Yuan got out of the car to clear the obstacle, someone would immediately run out.

Zhang Yuan curled the corners of his mouth. "Since they want us to get out of the car so much, then let's get out."

As he said this, Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Ruyan. "I'll go and clear the obstacle in a while. You stay in the car."

Without Zhang Yuan having to say more, Liu Ruyan already understood the rest.

"Go ahead!"

Zhang Yuan tilted his head and then opened the door and got out. He walked forward with big strides.

Almost as soon as Zhang Yuan walked over, people stood up from the snowdrifts on both sides of the road.

Some of them rushed straight towards Zhang Yuan, and the others came towards the car.

These people were all dressed very thickly. Some of them were even wrapped in sheepskin coats.

The sheepskin coats had no sense of design at all. They should have been made by peeling off sheepskins themselves.

While Liu Ruyan was observing these people, someone had already kicked the door.

"People in the car, get out!"

Liu Ruyan remained unmoved and just looked at Zhang Yuan in front.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was surrounded by four or five people, and all of them were holding knives in their hands.

There were kitchen knives, machetes, and chopping axes. There was quite a variety.

Because Liu Ruyan was sitting in the car and was a bit far away, plus the wind was howling, Liu Ruyan couldn't hear clearly what those people were saying to Zhang Yuan.

However, seeing that Zhang Yuan hadn't given her any signal yet, Liu Ruyan knew that it wasn't time for her to get out of the car yet.

After a while, those people escorted Zhang Yuan towards the car.

Zhang Yuan stood in front of the car door, knocked on the window, and his tone was unprecedentedly fierce and tough. "Open the door and get out quickly! Don't you see that I'm about to be beaten to death?

The boss said that as long as we hand over our supplies, he's willing to take us in. Then we can follow the boss and live a good life. Our days will surely get better and better."
