The Cannon Fodder in the Global Apocalypse Game lives a leisurely life Chapter 144: Ten Thousand Autumns, Meng Chu
The transactions concluded with Li Chunhua happily obtaining 124 cans of Happy Fat Water. Her impression of Uncle Supplier raised several notches with her cravings of this ultimate bubbly sweet goodness satisfied. This would be perfect with a Hot Pot!
She shot a glance to Chef Long, wondering when it will turn true. Sadly, they lacked ice.
anwhile, ng Chu was also very happy with the supplies he got. Baozi was still generous as ever. He only ntioned equipnt, cold gear, and food and the other side send him 50 units of cotton, 45 kgs of food and 50 pieces of white-quality equipnt.
He swallowed his saliva and wiped his sweat, trembling from the many supplies. Such a rich player, if ever he ets Baozi in person, he will switch territories without hesitation.
He called so people to deliver these supplies to the temporary warehouse which was just a small cabin they build with shelves and wooden crates.
The people although shocked and curious stored them inside the warehouse, bypassing Aunt He and the five other won who were weaving.
"Is that cotton?" Aunt He craned her neck and inquired.
"Yes, Aunt He." One of the couriers answered.
Aunt He stood and approached them. When she confird it was indeed cotton, she was pleased and decided to stuff their clothes with cotton later in afternoon.
The people carried on with their task and every ti they carried the supplies and equipnt the won’s eyes widened.
One couldn’t help but asked, "Young man, where did you get these supplies?"
"Oh, it was Uncle ng. Did you rember why he insisted on buying and forbidding us to drink the Happy Fat Water we looted? He traded of them for these."
The won looked at each other in bewildernt.

Unbeknown to the duo Li Chunhua and Long Haoran, the area they were trudging was called Forbidden Zone and hadn’t been explored deeply by other players.
The nearest team stationed was five hundred ters away from the boundary of the forbidden zone, had been monitoring the periphery by sending out scouts every three hours. There were also single players nearby but they were very cautious not to take a detour to this place.
Since their current Levels were around 3-4, they don’t have the courage to venture deep and could only harvest the resources on the boundary which was shallow creek.
This was also their water source but the resources were few. At most in a day when the resources refreshed, they could get [Wild Vegetable X6], [Hemp Plant X5], [Flax X4], [Wild Berries X 12], [Beginner Wood X 20] and sotis if they’re lucky, they could kill weak fish monsters in the creek for at.
But a strange thing happen this late morning, the forbidden zone was quiet unlike the previous days where one could hear many bestial sounds echoing from the dense woods.
One of the scouts was brave enough and surveyed fifty ters deep but he t no monsters. He crossed another 50 ters and not one attack him. He also spotted several variety wild vegetables in so areas and quickly plucked them.
[You’ve got Tiny Shroods Leaf... 20]
[You’ve got Grain Rain... 35]
[You’ve got Flower-Face Vegies... 45]
The young man was thrilled and went back, sharing the news of his harvest to his co-scouts. They were also surprised and smiled. These could feed them for at least 5 days.
Thus, in great joy and astonishnt, they reported this finding back to the team.
"Nephew, what you say is really true?" A man whose drenched in sweat and was in the middle of chopping the wood for later use. The sleeves of a faded cotton grey jacket were tied around his waist, along with a red bull cap.
It was Ten Thousand Autumns, ng Chu whom Li Chunhua and Long Haoran had transacted minutes ago.
"Yes Uncle!" Then the young man showed the wild vegetables he gained.
ng Chu finally believed him and imdiately prepared to set off. This type of opportunity was not to be wasted.
"Bring them to the aunties and have them cooked it for lunch." ng Chu said.
The young man nodded and walked towards the one of the huts where a group of middle-aged won and young won were weaving grass crafts and bamboo strips into hats and ponchos to be sold in the trade market.
This was in demand because of the rain and each hat was sold for five units of wood/ two units of bamboo/ 500g of food. The poncho was much expensive for 8 units of wood/ four units of bamboo and 1kg of food. After all it takes a longer ti to weave.
These won were saved and contributed to the team by doing the chores, weaving and cooking.
"Auntie He, I’ve got new vegetables." One of the middle-aged won with slightly chubby build wiped her hands on her coarse apron and stood up.
"Co here. Let see." Auntie He beckoned him over. The young hurriedly walked and took the vegetable out.
"Good boy!" Auntie gave him a pat before taking the vegetables to the temporary kitchen. A stove made from drying clay and a large flat stone as a pan.
Aunt He gathered five small fishes, seven cans of ham, one kilogram of rice, flour, mushrooms, oil, packs of noodles, pepper, and salt from the public warehouse before cooking.
She was slightly tearing up, after seeing the warehouse was full of supplies. Composing herself, she lit the firewood and started chopping the vegetables before frying the ham and the fishes.
The scent of the cooked food wafted under everyone’s noses, wetting their mouths including ng Chu’s group gathering on the entrance.
They were unaware that this day would be an eventful one.

Sa as the young man, Long Haoran also found the sa ingredients. The tiny Shroods leaf looked like a Malantou, used for sauteéing.
The Grain Rain resembled a cedar. It had an overpowering sll and can be paired with rice porridge as a pickled side dish.
While the flower-face is a shepherd’s purse suitable to be cooked with eggs.
Due to her speed of gathering, Li Chunhua was able to forage half of the mountain by lunch ti. Long Haoran after successfully finding three of the five necessary ingredients [Nicoterna: First-Class], [Pyrethum: First-Class], and [Elliptica: First-Class] for a pesticide, the last two were minerals which he hadn’t found.
(A/N: The aboventioned are plant-derived pesticide components and there are also mineral- derived. I only tweaked their na a bit.)
He searched for a place they could rest first, and where he could cook.
It was besides the shallow creek where level 1-2 monsters silver scaled fishes were leaping lively. They were trying to bite him. He killed 12 fishes [Piranha Level 1- (HP: 15/15)] by slapping the daylights out of them, instant K.O. Notifications rang in his ears.
(Little Baozi: Thanks for the gift dear SauceofSuccess and LotusLin.(^∀^●)ノシ Pics in the comnt section.)
