Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362: Chapter 362: A Mysterious Windfall

When Manager Grant first received the text from Melody Summers, he thought it was some kind of scam.

After all, the number looked foreign, it contained special symbols, and the message itself was just too outrageous.

Manager Grant frowned at the message on his phone screen, muttering to himself, ’It’s the second year of the cataclysm... How have those scammers from Southeast Archanea not starved to death yet? They’ve really got some staying power...’

Then he casually deleted the message and went back to his work.

But for some reason, over the next half hour, Manager Grant grew increasingly uneasy. He couldn’t get the contents of that "scam" message out of his head.

It was as if a voice in his head kept telling him:

’Go take a look. What if it’s real? That’s coal and food!’

’Go take a look. What if it’s real? That’s coal and food!’

"..."

The thought kept circling in Manager Grant’s mind, and he felt an agonizing itch he couldn’t scratch.

He agonized over it for a while before finally deciding to go to the back hills himself and see what was going on.

He didn’t have high hopes for the message; he just wanted to check it out for his own peace of mind.

He hadn’t known what to expect, but one look was all it took to give him the shock of his life.

When he and Hollis trudged through the snow to the back hills, the scene before them was so shocking his hair stood on end.

Staring at the four mountain-like piles of coal, Manager Grant reached out a trembling hand, grabbed Hollis, and stammered, "I... I must be dreaming, right?"

’It has to be a dream!’

’Otherwise, why would I be seeing four mountains of coal?’

’It’s like they appeared out of thin air!’

’This is straight out of a fairy tale!’

Hollis pinched himself hard. Feeling the sting on his arm, he answered in a trembling voice, "N-No, it’s not a dream, Manager Grant. I see it too! Even if this is a dream, there’s no way we could be having the same one..."

With that, they locked eyes, each seeing the same ghost-like shock and utter disbelief in the other’s gaze.

The four mountains of coal before them seemed to have fallen from the sky, their appearance both sudden and mysterious.

Manager Grant took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He slowly approached one of the coal mounds, picked up a small, jet-black piece, and muttered, "It’s real... This really is coal... There must be at least fifty tons here..."

’Where on earth did all this coal come from?’

’Why did it all suddenly appear here?’

Before Manager Grant could even process these questions, he heard Hollis shout, pointing to the front left, "Manager! Look! Behind that pile of coal, I think those are potatoes!"

Manager Grant followed Hollis’s finger and was shocked all over again.

Behind the leftmost pile of coal, he saw mounds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins.
