Chapter 368 Opening the Granary and Distributing Grain?
Therefore, whether it's Hilde and the other insects, or Lu Yize and the others, they all need some time to absorb the expanding supernatural energy within their bodies.
After Lu Yize and the others returned to the base, they deliberately avoided crowds. After all, the serious injuries of several high-ranking officers in the base were not a good thing for the others in the base, and might cause panic.
So after entering the base, they immediately handed things over to Xian Wenrui and the others, and then quickly went into the room to absorb the supernatural power.
When Xian Wenrui received the news, he was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened, or even why two people were missing.
Several hours later, when Chen Ping and Morse returned from outside, they were practically frozen solid, but their faces showed signs of excitement.
"Where's Brother Lu?" Chen Ping asked in a low voice, a rare sign of his unease.
Xian Wenrui looked at it strangely for a few moments, then pointed to Lu Yize's room, "He went back, got a little injured, and probably won't be able to come out for a while."
He noticed that both Chen Ping and Morse were clearly suppressing their obvious joy. If it were only Morse, he could understand, since Morse often acted like that when he saw a beautiful woman.
But Chen Ping is not usually one to show his emotions, so for him to reveal this state of mind is clearly something to celebrate.
"It's okay, we'll talk about it when he comes out."
Chen Ping forcibly suppressed his excessive excitement and tried to maintain his usual calm, but this discovery made it difficult even for him to remain composed.
Intrigued by their suspense, Xian Wenrui leaned closer and whispered, "What's going on? You're only saying half of what you mean, which is making me really curious."
Because he was in such a good mood, Morse put his arm around Xian Wenrui's shoulder and said, "For the sake of your life, it's better not to let you know about this."
Seeing the two of them like this, Xian Wenrui clicked his tongue twice, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you two had struck it rich, you're so happy, like poor people suddenly becoming rich?"
Morse was really annoying, not only did he not say anything, but he also had that smug grin on his face. However, he also remembered the important matter, "Oh right, I just looked for Chen Mingzhang but he hasn't been around for a while. Do you have a backup of the warehouse key?"
"Yes, but Chen Ping has one too, right? You two are together, so why don't you just go to him?" Xian Wenrui asked, puzzled.
Morse laughed in exasperation, "So you're the only one who doesn't have it?"
"That's not true. It's just the three of us who have it. Zheng Lin and Xie Hongyang don't either. It's mainly because of you. You were so reckless as to let Chen Si go to Lu Yize before. Brother Lu remembers that. You know his temper."
"Besides, if we really give you the warehouse key, we're afraid some woman will trick you into giving it away and then just open the warehouse and release the grain."
Morse listened to Xian Wenrui's words, stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then grinned, "It's not that unreliable. Besides, I haven't been looking for women lately. Hey, I've started to support myself."
How could Xian Wenrui not know what kind of person Morse was? It wasn't that he hadn't looked for someone; he was simply too busy to think about these things lately.
In addition, his lovers were not fixed, and now that everyone's life is stable, there are no more people to mess around with him.
"Come on, what do you need the warehouse key for? Are you short of food?" Xian Wenrui steered the conversation back to the main topic.
As it turns out, Morse suddenly fell ill and burst out laughing upon hearing this, looking as utterly irritating as possible.
"Food shortage? Old Salty, our base probably won't have to worry about food for the next twenty years."
"what's the situation?"
Xian Wenrui perked up immediately upon hearing this. Although Morse was unreliable in other aspects, he didn't make any boastful claims. Since he said it, it must be true.
When it comes to food, who wouldn't get excited? People from Nanling value food the most.
Morse and Chen Ping didn't hold back, taking out a hundred spatial buttons, which Lu Yize had given them before, to retrieve the sea monsters that had been frozen due to the low temperature at the bottom of the sea.
Once a sea beast reaches the third level of its superpower, it basically begins to develop intelligence and will try to avoid such low temperatures. Those that can be frozen to death are basically low-level sea beasts that have not yet developed intelligence.
The ocean floor is littered with the frozen carcasses of marine mammals. It would be a shame not to use these fresh creatures, frozen before they were even dead, as food.
Morse's ability is a mutated fire-based ability. He is responsible for using fire lines to cut these sea monsters completely and put them into the spatial ability button.
Chen Ping's special ability happens to be tracking, which is perfect for pinpointing which sea areas have the most sea monster carcasses.
After gaining superpowers, these sea beasts expand their bodies thousands of times. One of them is enough to feed them for a long time. The space inside a spatial button is only about one acre in size and about one hundred meters high.
Since the food was readily available, they figured they might as well take it. They filled a hundred space buttons with food, and almost all the sea monster carcasses near the sea were salvaged.
This is also to prevent the supernatural abilities that Lu Yize mentioned from entering these rotting flesh and causing them to become rotting corpses.
They're not doing this just for food; they're doing it for the safety of humanity! Morse shook his head with a wry smile. Look at him, he's saved countless lives again.
After Xian Wenrui took the spatial buttons and examined what was inside, his jaw dropped. Good heavens, so much food! These two must have gone to be fishermen!
"Is this what makes you happy? While it is certainly something to be happy about, we don't really lack food in our base, do we? But since you brought this back, I'm planning to add a couple more pounds of meat to our daily rations today."
Xian Wenrui took over the work from Chen Mingzhang. There was no other way; although Lu Yize didn't usually manage things, Chen Mingzhang did! Fortunately, Zheng Mu was there to help, otherwise Xian Wenrui would have already started working overtime.
Upon hearing Xian Wenrui's question, Morse couldn't suppress a smile. "How could that be? But you'd better not ask. Asking won't do you any good."
Seeing this, Xian Wenrui knew it was something important, so he wisely kept quiet. When he took the hundred spatial buttons, he saw Morse looking regretful. "What a pity, I only brought a hundred. I should have taken more."
Chen Ping had a better attitude towards this than Morse: "Don't bite off more than you can chew; enough is enough."
Morse grew up in Beisha and didn't really understand the true meaning of some of the things Chen Ping and the others said. When he heard Chen Ping say something like, "I can eat it, I have good teeth."
Chen Ping: ...
Sometimes communicating with illiterate people can be really exhausting.
Xian Wenrui, who was listening to Chen Ping's words, clicked his tongue twice, thinking, "Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hang out together."
Chen Ping actually said to that huge pile of spatial meat with a straight face, "Don't bite off more than you can chew"? You two are already greedy enough! You two have almost emptied the seabed.
