Chapter 258 The Little Salted Fish in the Apocalypse (4)
Wangyou also looked down to examine the plants on the ground. The others split into two teams: one team was responsible for guarding the area, and the other team followed Wangyou to find usable medicinal herbs.
"Professor Xie, look, this thing is ginseng, isn't it?" Suddenly, He Yuan pointed to a plant with red berries hanging not far away, but the berries were so big that it was hard to tell if it was ginseng or not.
"It really is! This is a genuine ginseng fruit," Wangyou said with a smile as she picked a red fruit from the tree.
Then, Wangyou took out a medicinal hoe and dug out the giant ginseng. "A hundred-year-old ginseng is quite rare."
"So thick, and it's only a hundred years old?"
"The roughness is due to mutation, but that doesn't change its original age." After collecting the ginseng, the group continued on their way.
"Strange, why is it so quiet after that poppy plant at the very beginning?" Yan Yan was very puzzled. He had prepared for all sorts of dangers, but it was as quiet as strolling in a park before the apocalypse.
"Everyone be careful, something's definitely fishy if things seem unusual," He Yuan said cautiously.
Wangyou opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then thought better of it; being cautious wouldn't hurt.
"The roads along this route are covered with plants, which reminds me of a video I saw before that talked about what would happen if there were no humans in the world. The scene here is exactly the same as what was shown in the video, except that humans still exist."
"Actually, Earth would be better off without humans."
"Then how about we all commit suicide?" Wangyou said with a grin.
"Let's live first, after all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."
The group chatted and laughed as they traveled, easily dealing with any zombies they encountered along the way.
"This is the first time it's been so quiet outside. It's so quiet that I thought the apocalypse hadn't arrived yet."
"Help!" The man had barely finished speaking when he heard cries for help coming from afar.
"Have you developed a jinx skill? I just said quiet, and now this happens." Yan Yan chuckled, quickly picking up his weapon and becoming alert.
"Let's go see who it is!" Wangyou said, and the others naturally had no objections. They arrived quickly.
When I went over to take a look, it was someone I knew.
It was Wangyou's former roommate and Xie Baozhu, but Wangyou didn't recognize who screamed.
"Let's go help them, it's my sister and my roommates." Wangyou said and rushed out.
After a burst of sparks and lightning, the zombie was successfully eliminated.
“Sister!” Xie Baozhu said with a dirty, smiling face.
"Wangyou, what a coincidence, what are you doing out here?" Chen Sasa and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Wangyou.
"I just came out to experience life, the base is so boring," Wangyou said with a smile.
Chen Sasa and the others stopped asking, knowing it must be something important, otherwise why would those big shots be willing to put Wangyou in danger?
"Little sister, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but where did you roll around to get yourself so dirty?" Wangyou said disdainfully as she walked past Xie Baozhu's embrace.
"Oh, I'm fine. I just ran into some zombies while fighting them," Xie Baozhu said nonchalantly, wiping her face.
"You're really something!"
"Baozhu, aren't you going to introduce her to us?" a few pretty girls said as they walked over.
“This is my sister. My sister, they are my roommates and my comrades-in-arms,” Xie Baozhu said with a smile.
Hello.
"Hello, hello! I've heard Baozhu say how wonderful and beautiful her sister is, and seeing her today, I can confirm it's true!" said a cheerful girl.
"Hello, little sister, I'm Baozhu's high school classmate and good friend. My name is Bai Xinxin," a woman with a smile as pure as a white lotus flower said as she walked over.
But after Wangyou noticed the girl walking over, the atmosphere among the girls who had just been talking clearly changed.
"I've never heard of my sister having a good friend in high school, but I did hear that she had a classmate who's as cunning as a sieve. You must be the one!" Wangyou took a step back, crossed her arms, and looked Bai Xinxin up and down before speaking.
Upon hearing this, the girls visibly relaxed.
"Sister, it was her! She tried to trick me out of my wooden plaque, saying she had one just like mine. She was practically saying I stole it from her. Luckily, the rumors were debunked later," Xie Baozhu said angrily.
"Sis, hurry up and get yourself ready! I remember someone from home came to pick you up, why haven't you gone back yet?"
“You didn’t go back, so how can I, as your older sister, be afraid of death?” Xie Baozhu said with a hint of pride.
"Alright, hurry up and get yourself ready, we'll be eating soon." Wangyou took out a bucket of water and a set of clothes, and told Xie Baozhu to clean herself up.
Afterwards, Wangyou took out a bucket of water and some ingredients, asking He Yuan and the others to prepare a meal, as the terrain here was open and suitable for setting up camp.
Bai Xinxin felt wronged for a long time, but no one paid any attention to her, which made her face contort with anger.
"Bai Xinxin really made a fool of herself today. Xie Baozhu's sister has such a powerful aura."
"Absolutely. Suddenly, all my pent-up anger vanished. It turns out that ignoring her is the best way to get back at her."
The girls discussed as they washed up, but because of the limited water supply, they only did a quick wash. Xie Baozhu really washed herself thoroughly, after all, no one knew her younger sister's obsessive-compulsive tendencies better than her.
"Little sister, I've washed up. Smell it, doesn't it smell good?" Xie Baozhu said with a smile as she ran up to Wangyou.
"Sister, how old are you?" Wangyou often felt that this older sister was a bit like a husky.
"Hehe, I'm just happy, little sister. I've collected a lot of supplies and medicinal herbs recently. These are crystal cores I got from zombie brains. See if you can use them." Xie Baozhu said, showing off a handful of colorful crystal cores.
"Amazing!" Wangyou gave Xie Baozhu a thumbs up and then put away the crystal cores without refusing. These were all attribute-less crystal cores.
Seeing this, the others also set up camp on the edge of the area. After all, there were several soldiers involved, and they couldn't just ignore what was happening.
Many people shared this idea, and Wangyou didn't care when she saw it. After all, she knew very well whether anything would come that night.
I invited my roommates, Xie Baozhu, and a few of her friends, and we all got together for a sumptuous dinner.
"Finally, I feel like a human being again. It's been so long since I've had a normal meal," Xie Baozhu said contentedly after finishing her meal.
"Yeah, it feels like ages since we last had hot food. It's like a lifetime ago." Zhang Wanting was also very satisfied. Since separating from Wangyou, they formed a combat team, and they were either killing zombies or on their way to kill zombies.
"Forget-Me-Not, these are the crystal cores we found. Here, take these." After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Song Shishi took out a handful of crystal cores and handed them to Forget-Me-Not.
Why are you giving me so many?
"To enhance your abilities, these are all specially reserved for you. We originally planned to give them to you when we returned to the base, but since we've run into each other and you treated us to a big meal, we'll give them to you ahead of time," Chen Sasa said with a smile, and the others agreed.
"Then I won't be polite." Wangyou didn't refuse her roommates' kindness; she could always return the favor anyway.
