Chapter 346 Supernatural Powers Controlling Home Appliances
Lu Yize glanced at Chen Mingzhang, who understood Lu Yize's meaning and naturally wouldn't leave Xavier and the others out when distributing supplies.
Lu Yize still had to interrogate Amos, so he didn't stay outside for long, and the task of arranging Xavier fell to Chen Mingzhang.
Chen Mingzhang arranged accommodations for Xavier and the others. Xavier looked around the base. Although the Nanling base was a bit small in scale at the moment, its facilities were better than those of other bases.
Xavier felt that the infrastructure in Xiyue was not as good as that in Nanling, since Xiyue did not have as many fresh plants.
I don't know what method the people of Nanling used to be able to grow these vegetables and fruits that haven't been mutated by supernatural powers. They taste much better than the mutated plants.
As expected, the people of Nanling are born with a talent for farming, and they are much better at it than I am. I wonder if I can bring this technique back with me while I am here.
"Captain Chen, the planting techniques at your Nanling base are truly impressive." Xavier observed calmly.
Chen Mingzhang was already adept at handling these matters, and he responded with a smile, "When we eat later, we can have the chef cook some of our Nanling specialties for you. Don't underestimate our chefs; their cooking skills are widely recognized as excellent."
Xavier looked at the mutated cow. Another strange thing about the South Ridge Base was that humans, zombies, alien beasts, sea monsters, and alien plants all lived together and had their own division of labor.
"Okay, I'll definitely give it a try."
Even after he finished speaking, he didn't give up on the tour. He not only stayed in the same spot, but even went into the field. Xavier had never farmed in Xiyue, nor had he ever been so close to these vegetables.
However, he was well aware of the importance of these foods. In the post-apocalyptic world where food was scarce, fresh ingredients were almost priceless. He never expected that the Nanling Base would have so many.
Just like this watermelon in front of him, it looks very thirst-quenching. Seeing that he was interested in watermelons, Chen Mingzhang even asked the middle-aged man in charge of planting and the plant experts to come forward and select one that was crisp and sweet.
The middle-aged man tapped the watermelon, judging its quality by the sound. When Xavier took the watermelon, he tried tapping it a couple of times, but perhaps he didn't control his strength well, or maybe the watermelon was just too good.
With just a few taps, the watermelon rind cracked open, and the sweet, fresh watermelon aroma wafted out from the cracks. The superhumans present all had excellent senses, and since they occasionally got to eat some fresh fruits and vegetables in the Nanling area, they didn't lose their composure.
However, Xavier's men, including Xiyue, hadn't had fresh food in a long time, and now, just smelling the fresh watermelon made their mouths water uncontrollably.
Xavier, the leader, wasn't much better off. Several months into the apocalypse, they still hadn't figured out how to grow fresh vegetables and fruits, and after eating meat for months, they were sick of it.
If they weren't superhumans, they'd probably get constipated eating meat with such high levels of supernatural energy. How could they not be tempted by these fresh vegetables and fruits?
Chen Mingzhang always knew how to handle these situations. Seeing their expressions, he smiled and handed them fresh watermelons, then used his supernatural abilities to cut them, giving each of them a large slice.
"These are all local specialties of our base. Please don't be picky and try them all."
After Chen Mingzhang finished speaking, he distributed the watermelons to them. Xavier said a few polite words, then pretended to be unable to resist their enthusiasm and accepted the watermelons.
Xavier was somewhat better, maintaining basic manners, but his subordinates were eating rather ravenously and without any class.
The strange plants around them, oblivious to human relationships, saw how poor they were eating and their green faces were filled with the thought, "This little human looks so pitiful. Doesn't he even have anything to eat?"
Chen Mingzhang certainly understood their feelings. It was only recently that they had fresh vegetables and fruits to eat in Nanling, but there was no need to tell Xavier about such a thing.
"Take your time eating. We've grown quite a lot more at our base, so you can pick some more later."
Chen Mingzhang spoke generously, but in reality, he had already calculated that Xavier and his men had taken a lot of good stuff from the Zerg, and probably handed over some of it while keeping some for themselves.
These are all human nature. They didn't share all the good stuff, like black crystals and core crystals, without mentioning them openly.
Since they had valuable items, Chen Mingzhang naturally wanted them to keep some of them.
So while saying these words, he didn't forget to tell the middle-aged man growing melons that he could exchange food with these people from Xiyue.
Middle-aged people aren't stupid. Once they understand what these words mean, they immediately send messages to their relatives and friends, telling them to prepare any extra food so they can maybe exchange it for something better.
As the host, Chen Mingzhang took good care of Xavier and his group. After all, they had once been on the same side as them, and they were much more pleasing to the eye than those fools from Donggu who were still planning to turn their blades against the sea monsters.
Chen Mingzhang had Chef Niu prepare an extremely lavish feast, also to celebrate their survival.
Xavier was initially worried that he might not be able to get used to the food here, but he quickly realized that he was overthinking it. To be fair, Chef Niu's cooking skills were indeed excellent!
Even ordinary beast meat tastes exceptionally good, not to mention the freshly picked vegetables and fruits, and the fragrant rice. In the apocalypse, being able to have such a hearty meal is simply blissful.
After that meal, the people from Xiyue didn't want to go back to their base! The food at the Nanling base was just too enjoyable!
If they could eat like this every day, they wouldn't mind joining Nanling!
Not only that, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Mingzhang led Xavier and the others into the rooms that had been arranged for them beforehand. There were quite a few earth-type ability users at the Nanling Base, such as Chen Mingzhang's subordinate Zhu Lei, who was a fourth-tier earth-type ability user.
He had previously lost an arm to a zombie, but thanks to Sheng Xue's healing abilities, it has now fully recovered. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn't have known that he had once lost an arm.
His severed hand was different from Xian Wenrui's. Xian Wenrui's hand had been left with mental toxins, and Sheng Xue's current level of supernatural ability was not enough to help him regenerate it.
But who knows what will happen after that? So even those alien races couldn't bear to let Sheng Xue, a healing-type ability user, die so easily.
Because the Nanling Base has a powerful earth-type ability user like Zhu Lei, as well as someone like Chen Ping who is extremely strict about data control, the houses they create are exceptionally durable, practical, and beautiful.
Xian Wenrui also took the time to design a number of home appliances with superpowers, such as a shower that can produce water with a touch and a whole-house configuration that can be controlled with a superpower ring.
