I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Chapter 17 Unbelievable Luck

Su Xiao's face darkened instantly, and she turned to look at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, oblivious to Su Xiao's gaze, continued speaking to the crowd:

"I also know of a place where there is a mulberry tree that hasn't mutated, and there are still quite a few mulberries on it. I can tell someone about it privately, but only if they are a power evolver. You have to do something for me."

"Unmutated mulberries!"

This is good stuff.

Who didn't eat mulberries when they were a child? The ripe mulberries are a deep purplish-black color, and when you bite into one, it's full of juice, both sour and sweet.

Someone said, "I specifically looked for mulberry trees today! I finally found one, but it turned out to be a mutated one! What bad luck!"

"Jiang Li, where is that mulberry tree you mentioned?"

Jiang Li: "I told you, I only told those who can help me that I need a Power Evolutionist."

At this moment, a tall man stepped forward from the crowd. "Miss Jiang, how about me? I am a level three power evolver."

"Okay, you're the one."

"What do you need me to do for you?" Sun Meng asked.

"Come with me."

Sun Meng followed behind Jiang Li.

The others followed suit.

Someone asked cautiously, "Jiang Li, where is that patch of wild vegetables you mentioned?"

"It's a bit far, we have to walk another two kilometers."

Upon hearing that it was a two-kilometer walk, some people stopped and hesitated.

"That's so far! It's all deep in the mountains and forests. Could there be mutated wild animals?"

Jiang Li: "Those who are afraid of danger don't have to come. I'm just telling you this based on the principle of not wasting anything. Whether you pick them or not is your business."

"Can you tell us roughly how many there are? If there are only a few, why bother with all that trouble?"

Jiang Li: "There won't be just a few plants; each person will get more than a pound."

More than a pound!

A pound of wild vegetables can sell for at least 60 points, which is the amount most people can earn by working hard in the safe zone for most of the day.

Besides, Jiang Li had already paved the way ahead...

"Let's go, it's only two kilometers. Let's all go together, what's there to be afraid of?"

Without further hesitation, everyone hurriedly followed.

Including Wang Guihua and Su Xiao.

Walking at the back of the crowd, Su Xiao's expression remained calm.

She wanted to see what Jiang Li was up to!

It took the group almost half an hour to walk the two-kilometer distance.

When they arrived at their destination and saw Li Lan and a 200-pound sow on the ground, they looked at each other in astonishment!

No wonder Jiang Li needed the help of the power evolver, it turns out she beat up a pig!

Someone stepped forward and asked curiously, "Li Lan, how did you manage to kill this pig?"

It's not that no one has thought about hunting some edible animals in the mountains, but putting aside the fact that the probability of encountering an unmutated animal is extremely small, even if they did, it would disappear in a flash. After all, the vegetation in the mountains is lush and the view is blocked, so the animals can easily disappear with a leap, making it difficult to track them down.

Li Lan: "We found a piglet eating wild vegetables, and the sow fought with Jiang Yatou to protect her piglet, so Jiang Yatou killed the sow!"

Everyone: "..."

What incredible luck! How can a pig bump into your face while you're digging for wild vegetables?

At this moment, someone said, "Don't you know? Unmutated animals like to eat unmutated plants, so wherever there are wild vegetables, you're bound to run into pigs!"

"Easy for you to say, but I've never encountered anything like it."

"that is!"

"This kind of luck, not just anyone can have it!"

Everyone thought it was just luck, but Li Lan realized that it wasn't a pig that bumped into their faces, but rather that Jiang Li had gone looking for them herself...

But Li Lan didn't intend to say a word.

No matter what abilities Jiang Li possesses, she will pretend she knows nothing about them.

Li Lan waved her hand and said, "Quick, someone come with me! Help Jiang carry this pig out."

Two hundred pounds is something no one person can carry.

Sun Meng stepped forward, cut a few thick tree branches to build a makeshift stretcher, and then, together with Li Lan, tied the pig to the stretcher.

"By the way, Miss Jiang, what about the mulberries you mentioned..."

Jiang Li whispered a direction to Sun Meng.

Upon hearing this, Sun Meng turned and walked away.

When we arrived at the place Jiang Li had mentioned, it was indeed an unmutated mulberry tree.

Looking at the plump purple mulberries on the mulberry tree, Sun Meng was filled with joy. His daughter loved to eat fruit, but his family was poor and couldn't afford to buy fruit these days. Wild fruits became what he wanted to find most every day when he went into the mountains, but unfortunately, he never succeeded and couldn't find any edible wild fruits.

Sun Meng took out a tin box, wiped it clean, picked the mulberries from the tree one by one and put them into the box, carefully closed it, and put it into his basket.

My daughter will be so happy when we get home today!

After Sun Meng returned, his whole demeanor changed.

"Found it?" Jiang Li asked.

Sun Meng nodded, "Found them! The tree is full of big mulberries; we picked over two pounds!"

The others were filled with envy upon hearing this.

Several people started to regret it, regretting that they were too slow to react when Jiang Li said she needed to find someone to help, and that they didn't step forward sooner.

Jiang Li then led everyone to a nearby patch of wild vegetables.

The situation is even better than Jiang Li said; there are still plenty of wild vegetables, and each person can probably get more than a pound!

Everyone happily began digging for wild vegetables.

Su Xiao, Su Wenhu, and Wang Guihua were also mixed in.

Jiang Li watched from afar, narrowing her eyes slightly. "Don't you three need to join in the fun?"

Upon hearing this, all three of them froze.

Su Xiao stood up, still holding a bunch of wild vegetables in her hand. She looked at Jiang Li with confusion, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Li glanced at her indifferently, "Didn't we say before that I wouldn't bother you unless you bothered me? I didn't get involved in the resources you found, so there's no reason for me to share what I found with you."

"Oh right." Jiang Li almost forgot someone. Her gaze fell on Wang Erma, who was hiding suspiciously behind the crowd, looking guilty. She immediately used her eyes to draw him out.

"Wang Erma, you've been cursing me to die behind my back, so there's no reason for me to share your things. You shouldn't get involved either, and it'll be good for others to get a bigger share."

Wang Erma was dumbfounded.

He opened his mouth to try and argue, but when he thought that Jiang Li had heard everything, he was speechless and couldn't say a word. He could only dejectedly put the wild vegetables back.

More than a pound, that's a lot of points!

The eyes of the others, who were watching the spectacle, all fell on the group of people.

In the beginning, Su Xiao herself distanced herself from Jiang Li, and now it's impossible for them to stand up and advise Jiang Li to be magnanimous, since everyone knows right from wrong.

Considering Su Xiao's previous actions, there were bound to be murmurs among the crowd:

"I always said that you shouldn't go too far in life."

"Su Xiao wouldn't let Jiang Li share the shepherd's purse, and now Jiang Li won't let her share it either, which makes perfect sense."

"That's right, he brought it on himself."

Su Xiao's face turned bright red as she listened to the crowd's discussion.

Su Wenhu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred that seemed almost tangible as he looked at Jiang Li.

In this world of food scarcity, no one would complain about having too much food.

Wang Guihua's family of seven is starving and they don't have enough food to begin with. Now, Jiang Li is even taking her anger out on Su Xiao, refusing to let her take her share of wild vegetables.

Wang Guihua's face darkened, and her tone became aggrieved. "It was Su Xiao who led the discussion. What does it have to do with me? Why are you taking your anger out on me?"

Li Lan, hands on her hips, snapped at her: "Pah! You targeted our Xiao Li, and now why should Xiao Li treat you like one of her own? You deserve it!"
