Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 165: Return to Camp to Do Some Small Business (2)

People had long speculated whether the special muscles that spread throughout the body were the reason why mutant beasts were called mutant beasts.

However, Ye Nai had not seen an answer to this question but had seen a similar one.

Do human Awakeners have the same kind of muscles?

There was no conclusion on this either, just questions online.

Anyway, the classification of mutant beast meat was set in such a way that ordinary level mutant beast meat with low energy would not have these special muscles removed, but as soon as they were removed, the same piece of meat was instantly upgraded to good grade, and the price soared.

The group tasted the dishes in turn and decided to go for seafood; the other beast meats could be chosen at random.

The warrior who washed the vegetables stopped washing and, in the kitchen, clanged around with large basins, taking the one used for vegetables and the one used for kneading dough outside.

Ye Nai filled most of the basins with fish, shrimp, meat, and roe, leaving three empty basins, one filled with wild boar meat, another with wild buffalo meat, and another piled high with large soup bones.

All were filled to the brim, piled up high.

It looked like a lot, but for a frontline camp of about a hundred people, a few meals would finish it.

Those two basins contained only the cleaned pure meat, without a trace of cartilage, and the other basin’s bones had also been cleaned to ensure pure bones, guaranteeing that the soup would not make anyone sick.

The Quartermaster brought a device to test the bones, and no matter how he tested, the readings were zero, with not a trace of harmful substances detected.

Ye Nai also brought out her large commercial soup pot, in which she stewed a broth, offering everyone a bowl.

As Captain Xiao Ni held his bowl, he looked at the pot on the table, then at the basins on the ground, and back at the bowl in his hand, his expression toward Ye Nai changed.

"You’re skilled, did you clean all that meat yourself?"

"Yes, when one is alone in the wilderness with nothing to do, you pass the time watching movies and keeping busy."

Captain Xiao Ni gave her a thumbs up.

Smiling broadly, the warriors carried the basins of meat into the cold storage.

However, Ye Nai stopped the head of the cooking team to ask for a favor, asking if they could cook some more after this meal, using the large stove to prepare some dishes for the road.

The head of the cooking team agreed readily, saying it was hardly a favor, merely a trifle.

Then Ye Nai took out two plump, pre-ovulation female spider legs, giving one to keep as a meal for the patients and steaming the other for them to take on the road as a meal for the patients.

This time, fourteen people were injured, with the war team and the stationed forces equally affected. After eating these two meals today, they would still need several days to recover. Having some food with high nutritional value, high protein, and easy digestibility would be better for the injured.

Of course, that leg was also happily taken into the cold storage by them.

Two hours later, the camp had a meal ready, and everyone received a share of the energy-rich spider legs and fresh vegetables.

After the meal, the kitchen was cleaned up, and they began preparing food for the two war teams.

The logistics of the team brought their staple food and easy-to-store dried vegetables, along with a bunch of large pots and basins. The cooked dishes were then collected by Ye Nai into the Space.

The kitchen soldiers also helped cook rice, steam buns, and mantou, adding to it the ready-to-eat meals they had carried. Making it to the highway was the goal, as they could obtain supplies from small towns along the way once on the road.

After a night’s sleep, they had breakfast the next morning, bid each other farewell, and hit the road.

Ye Nai continued to ride on the tractor with Ah Qi, each driving for half a day, under continuous guidance from an experienced driver, and she felt her driving skills had improved.

During the journey, eating well and with Ye Nai’s spores fully mobilizing the nutritional components in the food to nourish their bodies, their injuries healed rather quickly. Except for those with rib injuries who had to lie flat, the others were all in SUVs hitting the road within two days.

Pulling a few people with a large trailer was obviously a waste, so Ye Nai brought out the refrigerated truck.

Upon the appearance of the three 6.8-meter refrigerated trucks, a series of whistles and applause erupted.

No one asked her how this used-looking refrigerated truck came to be; in the Secret Realm, one could pick up anything that was unclaimed.

Attaching a long, flexible hose to a barrel, they immediately washed the vehicle, rinsing out a pile of unidentifiable substances, among which they could make out vegetable leaves and traces of animal hair and blood.

The mechanic checked the mechanical parts of the vehicle and found obvious signs of modification. Besides the ventilating windows added to the sides of the compartment, the range of temperatures the refrigeration unit could accommodate was also quite extensive, ranging from zero to negative twenty degrees Celsius, adjustable for everything from preserving freshness to freezing.

Excluding the cost of the vehicle itself, just the refrigeration unit was nearly half the cost of the vehicle, plus various other modification fees, the entire vehicle was quite valuable.

And there were three of the same model.

With the ventilating windows installed, one could remain inside, close the middle and rear doors, and still have ventilation and natural light. If one wanted more comfort, they could even leave the middle door open, as with their skills, they wouldn’t be thrown out.

They decided not to use the refrigeration, setting the temperature to zero degrees.

It was hard to find anyone in the team who could drive a tractor, but there were many who could drive a truck; they easily assigned three people to take turns driving the vehicles.

After airing out the washed compartment overnight, it was completely dry. They then padded it thickly to lessen the discomfort for the injured.

Wood Element members utilized local resources, gathering large amounts of wild grass to line the other two refrigerated trucks for transporting Camel-hump Deer.

One truck for the male deer, another for the doe and her fawn. During the day, under Ye Nai’s care, they kept them sedated until evening when they set up camp and then woke them for exercise.

Ye Nai packed away the tractor and instead rode a motorcycle alongside the convoy.

After another three or four days of travel, they once again set up camp in the evening, finally not far from the nearest highway.

Parking the vehicles, everyone cooperated in dividing the tasks; Ye Nai was responsible for feeding the Camel-hump Deer.

While using spores to soothe the deer that had been jostled all day in the truck, easing their discomfort, she also released a large amount of spores into the surroundings to probe the environment and eliminate potential threats.

In the intense heat of the Secret Realm, various insects were also very active and deadly, a single bite potentially causing infections and fevers. Fortunately, as long as it was organic, it could serve as food for nature’s decomposers.

In the midst of clearing, Ye Nai received feedback from the spores that someone with a high fever was unconscious in a place obscured by vegetation ahead.

Ye Nai put down the deer she was holding, grabbed the rear door of the truck, flipped onto the roof, and took out a pair of binoculars to scan the surroundings.

Fortunately, it was still light out. She switched a few angles and finally glimpsed some familiar colors through the dense vegetation.

She immediately jumped down from the vehicle and grabbed hold of a passing team member.

"Hey? What’s up, Yezi?"

"Are you free to help me out?"

"Oh sure."

The team member followed Ye Nai up to the roof, took the binoculars she handed over, and looked in the direction she indicated.

"See that direction, in between the vegetation, does that look like the color of our military vehicles?"

The team member twisted around, looking up and down, left and right, then suddenly, his body froze.

"It does seem so!"

"Why is the vehicle not moving at all?"

The two exchanged glances.

After three seconds of eye contact, Ye Nai slowly took out a disposable mask and gloves.

"Shall we check it out?"

"Let’s go!"
