Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 332 - Three Hundred and Thirty-Two: Showdown

Chapter 332: Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Two: Showdown

Actually, the daily requirement of Crystal Cores for the Wood Spirit Space is still 50, but the Space needs to continue upgrading, and she did not know whether the upgraded Wood Spirit Space would require more Crystal Cores. Therefore, she simply stated 100 to make Guo Yang realize the importance of the Crystal Cores.

Guo Yang was already quickly counting on his fingers.

One hundred Crystal Cores a day, that’s over 3,000 a month and 36,500 a year. In ten years, they would consume more than 365,000!

Horrible!

No wonder these two, even the whole family, are working so hard. It turns out it’s for the Space, and they have been enjoying delicious feasts every day without realizing it. They have been truly reaping the benefits without knowing the cost!

“Su Jin, I, I…”

...

Guo Yang did not know what to say anymore, filled with overwhelming emotion and gratitude.

Su Jin looked at Guo Yang, who was about to cry, with a complex expression.

Was it the 100 Crystal Cores that scared him?

“Su Jin, don’t worry, I will definitely earn enough Crystal Cores to support our family!”

The determined look on Guo Yang’s face as he spoke these words made Su Jin burst into laughter.

But why did that statement sound so strange?

Bang!

The door connecting the courtyard to the annex swung open, and Liao Yifan looked at the two of them with shock on his face.

Under the indoor lights, Guo Yang stood in front of Su Jin with red-rimmed eyes, asserting his promises, while the door at the entrance, now shaken by Liao Yifan’s uncontrolled strength, teetered on the verge of collapse.

What was going on?

Guo Yang looked at Su Jin and then at Liao Yifan, realizing that his words might have caused a misunderstanding.

“Yifan, Yifan, listen to me explain,”

Guo Yang chased after Liao Yifan, leaving Su Jin behind, laughing so hard her belly ached…

“You laid it all out for him?”

Lu Hao also came out, having been listening to their conversation from the kitchen window all along. He knew Guo Yang would one day ask such questions. Their response was the maximum they could reveal in order to keep the secret of the Wood Spirit Space.

“You heard it all and still ask,”

Su Jin said with a laugh, knowing that Lu Hao had been listening. It was also fortunate that Guo Yang had asked her. If he had asked Lu Hao, he probably wouldn’t have been able to answer at all.

Looking at the small vegetable garden, after hearing from Lin Tianhui that she had used its greens to cook a meal, Su Jin decided to ask her uncle to bring over some Earth before leaving, to plant additional vegetables on the empty ground by the wall. That way, while they were off on missions, the family could still eat some vegetables and fruits in the Space. But for Guo Yang and the others, real vegetables would become scarce.

The night was cool and quiet, and occasionally the roar of a distant Zombie could be heard. However, no one had trouble sleeping out of worry anymore. The howls of Zombies in the distance had become as mundane and unremarkable to the people of S City Base as the bark of a dog in the pre-Apocalypse nights.

Contrasting this calm, however, was the bustle within the Space.

Huang Yunxiang and Lin Tianhui were busy in the back kitchen making a birthday cake. Mao Qiqi’s tenth birthday was approaching. Although they could not buy exquisite birthday cakes anymore, they decided to at least make a homemade version.

The supermarket section of the Space could be described as having everything they needed, so ingredients for making the cake, such as cream, were available, and they used the molds from their home in H City.

“I need to practice baking cakes more in the future, I’ll take care of all your cakes,”

Huang Yunxiang said as she whipped egg whites with an mixer.

Even in the apocalypse, birthdays should be celebrated properly!

“Great, I just love the cakes you make, they taste so much better than the ones from outside bakeries,” Lin Tianhui praised.

“Of course, we’re more willing to use eggs, and ours don’t have any artificial flavors, so they’re definitely tastier than the store-bought ones,”

Huang Yunxiang was confident in her baking and dessert-making skills. Although she had learned from the internet before, practice makes perfect, and now she could bake without having to look at tutorials as she went.

Su Jin found that the herbs she planted the previous day had already sprouted.

She couldn’t help but marvel at the convenience of growing things in the Space, those herbs accelerated by the Wood Element Zombie at the cooperative farm hadn’t been kept by her, after all, they were grown using a zombie’s special ability, and she wasn’t short on herbs anyway.

Lin Tianzhen was currently looking at some Chinese herbal medicine charts and a few books about herbs she had found in the bookstore.

None of them knew about herbs, and Su Jin didn’t even know what to plant when sowing those Chinese medicinal seeds, so her aunt Lin Tianzhen volunteered to study herbal knowledge in the Space.

Although they didn’t plan to use herbal medicine for treating diseases or anything, it would be better to at least recognize the functions of the herbs they saw, and there was plenty of time in the Space for her to learn more.

Su Jin also supported this approach, and now the family worked together very well in the Space.

It had to be said that if only she and Lu Hao were in the Space, they wouldn’t have been able to use it effectively.

Like now, Lin Cheng and Mao Zhihang were shucking corn, Lu Guanhai and Su Xiangzhe were picking ripe tomatoes and eggplants in the vegetable garden, and Lin Xiuyuan was collecting eggs with Mao Qiqi in the henhouse and duckhouse, while Su Jin and Lu Hao were picking fruit in the orchard together…

Although the Space was rich in produce, farm work still needed everyone’s participation. They had been busy with agricultural tasks during their spare time in the Space these days, and Lin Cheng saw it as physical training.

“It’s a good thing Guo Yang’s store is helping us use up some of the supplies, or we’d really be running out of space,” Su Xiangzhe said.

“We’re almost out of space now, the yield here is too great,”

Lu Guanhai said, looking at the baskets filled with tomatoes on the ground.

The orchard and vegetable garden were next to each other, so Su Jin and Lu Hao could naturally hear the conversation from there.

It was indeed the case now; the Space was filled with corn piled up in one of the rooms, not to mention the wheat and rice. The dozens of bags of rice she gave Guo Yang last time hadn’t even been sold yet.

At this rate, maybe one day the Space would truly be filled to the brim with supplies.

“Let’s donate some,” Su Jin suggested.

“How to donate? Wouldn’t it expose us?”

Lu Guanhai did want to donate some, but doing so could make others suspect their Space.

“Easy, we just leave the stuff somewhere for Liang Jiuhui’s people to find,”

Lu Hao said with a smile, thinking it would be even better if they could trick him out of some crystal cores.

The mention of crystal cores immediately piqued Su Jin’s interest, as it was essentially trading supplies for crystal cores.

Although they were still at a loss, it was better than not selling anything!
