Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 153 - Apple Salad
Chapter 153: Apple Salad Chapter 153: Apple Salad That apple tree was planted by Lin Musen when he was five, just for fun.
He never expected it to actually grow successfully.
After the apocalypse, it mutated, and everyone around him urged him to kill the apple tree, because mutated plants were dangerous and might kill him at any moment.
But he couldn’t bear to do it; all his relatives had died, leaving only Guoguo.
Later, the people in the area left for a newly established base.
Unfortunately, his living area did not become a site chosen for official base construction.
When the people around him left, Lin Musen couldn’t bear to leave.
He was afraid that if he left, Guoguo might be chopped down someday.
So, he stayed at home alone, and Guoguo kept growing bigger and bigger.
Later, it even gained the ability to control its own fruiting.
During the hardest times for Lin Musen, he survived by eating the fruits produced by Guoguo.
Later, his superpower improved, and Guoguo produced more fruits than he could eat.
After that, he picked up a few injured Superpower Users, who might have been too fond of the apples from Guoguo.
After their injuries healed, they stayed.
Then they started picking up more people.
As they continued, his neighborhood filled up with people again.
They even voluntarily followed Lin Musen’s orders.
Wanting to be his subordinates.
Lin Musen tried to refuse, without success.
Then, somehow, more and more people came, and his subordinates suggested building a private base.
With Guoguo around, they wouldn’t starve, and with Lin Musen’s strong abilities, he thought it was feasible, so he built one.
Since many people survived by eating the fruits from Guoguo, they named it Apple Base.
Guoguo, the tree, held a higher status in the base than Lin Musen.
Although Su Yinhe disagreed, Lin Musen didn’t want to give up and planned to win her over with his sincerity.

He insisted they stay for a few days.
Su Yinhe and the others were already curious about Apple Base, so they went along with it.
As the boss of the base, Lin Musen had several houses and let them stay next to his.
He even chose a room with a large window for Su Yinhe, where the apple tree’s branches leaned against the window, and one could easily pick the apples.
A single fine branch carried eight bright red apples.
Lin Musen picked one and handed it directly to Su Yinhe.
“It’s really sweet,” he said, then began blinking furiously, almost as if signaling something.
It was almost an explicit hint.
Su Yinhe: “…”
She realized he was seriously trying to promote his apples.
“The blankets and mattresses are all there, all washed, but if you’re not comfortable, you can use your own,” probably available in your own space.
“I understand, thank you, I feel reassured.”
“Well… if you have any problems, you can come to me,” Lin Musen said reluctantly as he left.
“Okay, okay,” Su Yinhe pushed him out.
The room was quite empty, just a bed and a bedside table.
The main appeal was its minimalism.
Oh, forgot to mention, there was also a branch sneaking in.
Su Yinhe stared at the slowly advancing branch and sincerely asked, “Are you sent by Lin Musen to spy on me?”
The branch, which had been moving slowly, twitched and then stopped.
In just a moment, the branch that was originally outside grew by the length of a hand and still had two apples hanging from its tip.
“Stop pretending, I see through you, you’re here to spy on me,” Su Yinhe couldn’t resist teasing it as she realized the apple tree actually understood human speech.
After hearing her words, the branch started to shake wildly, dropping five large apples and then zipped out of the window with the swiftness of lightning, closing the window behind it.
Su Yinhe was taken aback.
It really had become a spirit.
She could close windows.
This tree was not an ordinary tree; it was a tree that could close windows.
Not only could the tree close windows, it could also “sing” a lullaby for her.
When Su Yinhe went to bed at night, she had just lain down when she heard a rustling sound coming from outside the window.
It was quite cheerful.
She thought to herself.
Then the more she listened, the more excited she became, the more excited she became, and she didn’t fall asleep until three or four o’clock.
The next morning, she woke up and exchanged glances with Lin Murong, who also had dark circles under his eyes.
“You too…”
“Were you also kept awake all night by that apple tree?”
Guess that counts as noise, Su Yinhe nodded.
Lin Murong patted her shoulder; they were in the same boat now.
Three people, only Chi Yan wasn’t affected. Both of them glared at him with resentment.
Pure jealousy.
“Brother Chi, does your room not have windows?”
“It does.”
“Then how come the apple tree didn’t perform a dance for you?” At his room, that branch would come in and use its leaves to tickle his face the moment he fell asleep.
As soon as he woke up, it would run away.
He closed the window, but that apple tree was too smart and could open windows.
Then he was harassed all night long.
Finally, unable to stand it anymore, too sleepy to care even if the branch smacked his face, he stopped moving.
The apple tree probably thought it wasn’t fun anymore and stopped harassing him.
“Tried to perform, so I plucked its leaves off.” And it ran off.
“You… As expected of you. I’ve learned.”
Lin Musen looked at them apologetically.
“I’m really sorry, Guoguo is still young and a bit mischievous, I apologize on her behalf.” Lin Musen’s tone was very humble, making Lin Murong reluctant to be hard on him.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, mischievousness is good, mischievousness is good.” Non-mischievous ones are all gone.
Lin Murong yawned as he waved his hand.
Lin Musen prepared breakfast for them.
Apple juice, baked apple slices, apple salad.
It’s just that this apple salad was a bit…
“What is this? Why is it so dark?” Lin Murong pointed at the dark juice in the apple salad and asked with a stiff face.
“Soy sauce.”
Su Yinhe: “???”
Lin Murong: “???”
“Is it edible?” It might not be poisonous, right?
“It’s really tasty, eating this in the morning makes you energized all day. I prepared it especially for you since you didn’t sleep well. Don’t be shy.” Lin Musen handed them chopsticks.
The three of them holding chopsticks were at a loss.
“I hope I won’t die if I eat this,” Lin Murong was worried.
“It’s really delicious, I’ll show you.” Lin Musen said as he ate to demonstrate.
He grabbed a piece of apple, not satisfied with the amount of sauce, he rolled it more.
He took a bite.
Then nodded, “Not bad, the soy sauce makes the apples taste even sweeter. You guys should try it, you’ll love it just as I do after trying.”
Su Yinhe’s hand holding the chopsticks trembled.
“…Well, I think that… you know, we don’t need such a heavy breakfast.” Lin Murong finished speaking, grabbed the apple juice, drank it in one gulp, then wiped his mouth.
“I’m done eating, you guys continue.”
Lin Musen, seeing that he didn’t eat the apple salad, was disappointed, then looked at Su Yinhe and Chi Yan with hopeful eyes.
