Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 197 - : A Dark and Windy Night, Someone is Coming!

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: A Dark and Windy Night, Someone is Coming!

Jiang Yan hurriedly got up and walked to the window, opening it a bit.

Even with the screen in place, a chilly wind carrying heaps of dark ashes blew fiercely inside.

She frowned.

Without opening the window, there was the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.

With the window open, not to mention the bone-chilling wind, the black haze was also a problem.

She did have haze purifiers in her Space, but, unfortunately, she lacked a suitable reason to take them out and could only bear with it for now.

“Or maybe I should add some more black fungus? But it’ll taste a bit odd,” Su Dai suggested, thinking about the dust.

The other three nodded, “Sure, you’re the chef, what you say goes.”

“Chef, what are you talking about, I feel like I’m making pig feed…” Su Dai said self-deprecatingly with embarrassment.

Jiang Yan couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s not exactly pig feed, at most it’s a potluck stew, haha.”

Now that food and seasonings were limited, it wasn’t easy simply to cook a meal properly.

She considered herself to be skilled in cooking, but that was when faced with a full array of exquisite ingredients.

For someone like Su Dai, who could still consider both taste and the medicinal value of the food, it was not an easy feat for her.

Speaking of potluck stews, “In such cold weather, I suddenly really want to eat goose stewed in an iron pot!” Su Dai swallowed her saliva.

Jiang Yan realized that Su Dai’s attention was easily diverted.

She was also easily satisfied.

In the apocalypse, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing also craved it.

The two of them swallowed their saliva as well, but their eyes were glued to the few pieces of cured pork dicing in the pot, not moving an inch.

That was like hungry wolves eyeing their prey.

Jiang Yan felt tempted too, “I suddenly remember, I think I still have some hot pot base.”

As she said this, she stood up and quickly rummaged through the luggage bag where the food was kept, and took out a bag of spicy hot pot base looking like a brick.

Her two luggage bags looked thick and heavy, and others didn’t know exactly what resources she had packed inside.

They just felt that after a while, she would be able to fish out some good stuff from there.

This time, Su Dai’s eyes lit up:

“Oh my god, Jiang Yan, you really have a treasure box here! And it’s butter-based! I love you!”

Not able to eat hot pot, a spicy and aromatic hot pot noodle soup was also a great treat!

“Back when I used to visit hot pot restaurants, the owner gave me a whole case of it. When I left Anming, I brought all that was left with me,” Jiang Yan said and handed over the base to her.

“A case!” Su Dai’s eyes nearly popped out like copper bells, and she swallowed her saliva, smilingly saying, “So sis, how much do you have left now?”

“I have a lot left, so put as much as you like, don’t worry about saving it for me!”

Jiang Yan saw her carefully tear open the package and only scoop up a tiny amount the size of a thumb, revealing a satisfied smile as she said.

“Got it!”

Although Su Dai was delighted with the response, she didn’t go wild with it, instead handing the brick-hard base to Sun Jingtao, “Honey, use a knife to help me cut it into ten pieces.”

“Okay.”

In the end, Su Dai was only willing to use a tenth of it.

Jiang Yan couldn’t say much seeing how thrifty she was.

These supplies, every meal they eat means one less meal remaining, being thrifty was necessary.

Not like Jiang Yan, who had a Space full of resources, she felt confident.

Speaking of the resources in her Space, Jiang Yan felt somewhat amused.

Those expensive yachts, those helicopters, and the RV known as the apocalypse fortress that she had spent twenty to thirty million on, as well as the high-tech arsenals, were all just sitting there, collecting dust in her Space.

However, she secretly believed that these things would eventually come into use.

It was just that the time hadn’t come yet.

After all, they had hardly begun their journey.

The road ahead was still long…

As she thought this, the rich aroma was already wafting towards her.

The plain noodles in clear water, which looked so insipid just now, had transformed into a hearty and spicy hot pot noodle soup.

Su Dai had already prepared bowls and chopsticks, scooping some out for everyone.

Now, even the soup from the noodles was precious food.

So, they all cooked the seasonings and side dishes directly in the water used to boil the noodles.

After the group had finished eating, they boiled some water for a quick wash-up; the one-hour limited electricity supply for the day still hadn’t been turned on.

There was nothing they could do; even if they wanted to complain or inquire, there was nowhere to go.

The time was actually only around nine o’clock. The outside was quiet apart from the wind, making it feel as if they were living in a Ghost City, possibly because of the curfew.

After a brief chat, the four of them returned to their rooms.

Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing had found some temporary work helping with fishing when they went out during the day.

They needed to wake up early the next morning.

They reminded Jiang Yan and Su Dai to take it easy at home and rest well before doing anything else.

Before everyone went to their rooms, Ye Qing assembled all the guns he had taken apart.

Jiang Yan returned to her room and after locking the door, finally let herself completely relax.

The previous ten days of life aboard the ship had been both exciting and exhausting for her.

But she did not immediately enter her Space; instead, she walked to the window, took out her telescope, and looked outwards.

Outside was pitch dark.

There were no traces of any lights.

It might also have been because the haze was so thick that it obscured any faint glimmers of light.

Jiang Yan put away her telescope and sat on the chilly single bed in silence for a while.

For some reason, she felt a bit lost.

Previously busy traveling, she thought it would be okay just to reach land, to not experience another earthquake, to have the chance to enter her Space and “lie flat.”

Now that they had reached land and settled down and she had time to herself to enter her Space whenever she wanted, she began to feel a bit uncertain.

It was as if life had suddenly lost its direction.

But what was the goal of her life?

She didn’t know.

After all, nowadays, the simple needs of others to eat well and stay alive were nothing significant for her.

“Cack-cack-cack?” Mommy, what are you thinking about?

Hua Bao’s sudden voice pulled Jiang Yan’s thoughts back to the present.

“Nothing,” Jiang Yan smiled.

“Cack-cack-cack!” Mommy, hungry!

Jiang Yan: “…..”

She had suddenly forgotten that while she was satiated, Hua Bao hadn’t eaten yet.

After all, there were several boxes of gold blocks in her Space.

Without food, Hua Bao didn’t cry out, but once food appeared, it became utterly fixated, a real little glutton.

Speaking of the gold mine, Jiang Yan’s eyes brightened.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Right, she had almost forgotten; her Space was still upgrading.

The mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas had not yet appeared!

She was originally heading for East Mountain in search of the gold produced there.

If Xiangcheng had coal mines, could there also be gold mines?

Besides, now that everything was in chaos, wouldn’t it be better for her to take advantage of the confusion for a little zero-cost shopping?

Even if there were no gold mines, bringing some coal mines into her Space wouldn’t be a bad thing either!

As she thought this, Jiang Yan felt a surge of excitement.

She stood up, about to use her mind to take herself and Hua Bao into the Space, when suddenly she heard rustling footsteps coming from over the wall.

Judging by the sounds, there weren’t just a few people approaching.
