After a moment of silence, Yuan Rihui asked, "When was the last time you saw an ordinary Chinese cabbage?"
The ability user thought for a second and replied, "I haven't seen any since the torrential rains a year ago."
Hearing this, Yuan Rihui nodded. "Me neither."
After saying that, Yuan Rihui placed the Chinese cabbage back into the pile of vegetables and said, "Take them all away."
The space ability user wanted to say something, but seeing that Yuan Rihui was deep in thought, he held back his words and moved the supplies into his space. Once they were done, they informed Yao Ran and left the villa.
For several days, the base was bustling with activity. The sounds of gunshots and fighting could be heard from time to time. Each day, the number of survivors reporting to the public office was overwhelming.
In response, the base established a public security bureau to record reports, investigate their validity, and apprehend criminals.
While the survivors and soldiers fought against gang members and rioters, Yao Ran and Yuan Rihui distributed supplies and provided lake water to treat deformities.
Day after day, more people learned that Yuan Rihui possessed potions capable of curing deformities, healing wounds, and replenishing energy.
In just half a month, Yuan Rihui became even more famous than Ling Yi. As his business expanded and his reputation grew, people from other regions began arriving at the Juncheng Military Base.
With the security situation gradually improving and new residents settling in, Xu Qipeng and the senior officers decided to expand their greenhouses to mass-produce Night Moss and Glowing Mushrooms to meet the demand.
One morning, Yao Ran woke up and went to check on the Night Moss and Glowing Mushrooms. Seeing that they were ready for harvest, she cut some of them and sprayed the remaining crops with lake water.
After harvesting, Yao Ran brought them into the kitchen. Seeing the jelly-like texture of the Night Moss, she decided to make soup with the Glowing Mushrooms. Paired with garlic flatbread and bacon, it should be a satisfying meal.
While Yao Ran and her friends led busy and fulfilling lives, the same couldn't be said for the survivors living in the villa and residential area.
With no end to the eternal night in sight, most people's lives had come to a standstill.
There is nothing they can do to find supplies, so they either stay at home or go out looking for robbers or gang members. Even the wealthy were beginning to worry about their future livelihoods.
Although they had hidden some supplies outside, they couldn't be sure if robbers had stolen them. The supplies stored within the villa were also decreasing. Even the Xu, Mu, and Hua families faced the same predicament.
In the Xu family's living room, the three grandfathers and their grandsons were deep in discussion.
Grandpa Xu turned to his second son and grandson and asked, "Have you sent someone to retrieve our supplies?"
Xu Qipeng sighed and replied, "Father, we don't have enough manpower to retrieve the supplies right now. I'm planning to wait until the situation has completely calmed down before sending Wu Lian to get them."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruihan suddenly said, "Second Uncle, I don't trust that man."
