Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 82 Condiments

Lu Yuning temporarily gave up the idea of going out to look for people with superpowers. He had to wait until they were strong enough.

As for what is powerful, this can only be judged by Liu Yuan’s combat ability.

To be considered strong, one must have the ability to fight against such a strong person. Although they won before, a lot of luck played a role.

"It's getting late. Have a good rest today. I'll go get some food." Zhang Qian said, looking at Lu Yuning who was sitting on the ground.

Speaking of eating, Zhang Qian seems to never get tired of it.

As for how good her cooking skills are, no one can tell. Mainly because there are no seasonings now, so everything tastes almost the same.

At least I can eat my fill.

Since Lu Yuning brought back some mushrooms last time, she started to figure out how to eat them.

The walnut and wild vegetable leaf dish we ate last time was something she tried to make.

It even has a name: "Walnut and Shepherd's Purse Porridge"

This reminded Lu Yuning of a porridge dish from before the end of the world: century egg and lean meat porridge.

But it’s probably hard to eat it again in this lifetime.

Although the name also has five characters, the materials are completely different.

When can I eat eggs again? Lu Yuning couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

Or bird eggs?

Lu Yuning quickly shook his head vigorously, throwing the suicidal idea out of his mind.

"What's wrong?" Zou Yunxin saw him shaking his head and asked curiously.

"I'm greedy"

"Me too, I want to eat meat!"

"I want something salty."

"I want some candy."

After hearing Lu Yuning's complaint, everyone immediately started chatting, and it seemed that they all missed the delicacies they used to enjoy.

"Other things may have substitutes, but salt may be difficult," Lu Yuning chatted casually.

Zhang Xinyue nodded: "Indeed, we are not by the sea. It is almost impossible to find salt in nature."

"Maybe we should explore the surrounding area later. Even though this is a park, there should be some buildings around it."

When everyone heard Lu Yuning speak, they were immediately stunned.

After shrinking, their world is almost confined to this small park, and they haven't thought about going out to explore.

Now hearing Lu Yuning mention this, it feels a bit like staying at home for a long time and suddenly having to travel abroad.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lu Yuning said again: "We have to go out and explore, otherwise we won't be able to get a lot of materials."

"Well, after we have established the necessary facilities and living conditions, we can try to explore outside. Things like salt should be available in most houses with kitchens." Zhang Xinyue said.

Lu Yuning nodded. "That's right, but it's too early to say that now. We still don't have the ability to explore long distances. Just walking a few kilometers back and forth would take several days, even without rest. It would be a challenge for our water and food reserves, as well as our equipment."

He paused and continued, "Furthermore, more stray creatures will gradually breed in residential areas. Over time, urban buildings will slowly be occupied by mammals, which is quite dangerous."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

The discussion about the exploration of the residential area touched everyone's emotions. Several people stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about something.

It could be homesickness, or it could be concern for the future of humanity.

"It's time to eat~ Try my new dish, mushroom and walnut porridge."

Zhang Qian's shout brought everyone back to their senses. No matter what, the most important thing was to eat first.

Everyone ate the new products developed by Zhang Qian and started chatting happily again.

The next morning, Xu Qi came over as agreed.

"Let's go, Brother Chen is already waiting for us at the entrance to the forest area." Xu Qi called to Lu Yuning. "Has Brother Chen gone?"

"Well, although Brother Chen is probably not a bad person, you should try not to let him know your location." Xu Qi said.

"Oh? It seems that the last fever caused your evolution? Now you will consider this."

Lu Yuning was indeed a little surprised. She was wondering whether Xu Qi would bring Chen Hong here directly.

Although he had a good impression of Chen Hong, if it was Lu Yuning's own idea, he still didn't want to reveal the location of the shelter.

Xu Ting was considered a sincere reception from Lu Yuning, but Lu Yuning was still a little disgusted with the others because they knew the location of the shelter.

I didn’t expect Xu Qi to have thought of this in advance. It seems that Lu Yu’s scolding her last time did have some effect.

"Who are you looking down on?" Xu Qi snorted.

Lu Yuning nodded: "That's right. Being kind is good, but don't let others take advantage of you."

"I know, I know!" Xu Qi rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, let's go. Oh, I forgot something, you have to come and help us later." Lu Yuning thought of the problem of laying pipelines.

"knew"

"Yeah, okay, let's really set off this time."

When Lu Yuning and Xu Qi arrived at the entrance of the forest area, Chen Hong was standing nearby looking around with a curious expression.

There was a person standing next to him, who looked honest but a little frightened.

Lu Yuning was stunned. He seemed to have some impression of this person. He seemed to have spoken for a few people in the pavilion, but he couldn't remember clearly.

Chen Hong should have experience in exploring the wild. Although he has never been to the forest area, he showed some curiosity, but his expression was relatively calm.

The other honest man looked a little nervous, his lips were a little pale, and his legs seemed a little weak.

"Brother Chen, Brother Li, we can set off now," Xu Qi called out from a distance.

Chen Hong nodded at Lu Yuning.

Lu Yuning smiled and nodded.

Chen Hong has always left a good impression on him, so Lu Yuning is also relatively kind to him.

The man called Brother Li by Xu Qi took the initiative to step forward and greet Lu Yuning.

"Hello, my name is Li Wengang. I'm sorry for not speaking up for you last time."

He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Lu Yuning exchanged some brief greetings and introduced himself.

He finally remembered that when they were surrounded, this honest-looking man spoke up for them, but was rebuked by others.

The few of them didn't say any more and prepared to set off.

"I guess you encountered a lot of dangers when you explored this forest area before?" Chen Hong asked.

"Yes, oh, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Wait a moment, I'll get some more armor. It's better to be safe than sorry."

He didn't bring Wu Xiao with him, mainly because he wanted to help Xu Qi and the others get bamboo. They didn't have much demand for it, so they just needed to get some pine resin.

It’s not a lot of stuff, so just let the chipmunk help carry it back.

Chen Hong and Li Wengang took the armor and looked at it for a long time with curiosity before finally putting it on.

It was obvious that they felt a little awkward.
