Chapter 132: Carrot Soup

Although it was quite troublesome to move the items back and forth, it was worth it as long as Liu Yun could save more supplies.

Now that she had water, Liu Yun filled half of the iron pot, then checked her surroundings. Seeing that everyone was asleep, she quickly took out the Basic Carrot.

Using a knife, she cut half of the carrot, then put the rest back into the Dimensional Space. After washing the carrot, she cut it into cubes, then put them all into the iron pot.

While Liu Yun was busy cooking, the Blood Moon climbed higher into the night sky.

Twenty minutes later, the sweet and savory fragrance of carrot soup and grilled steak slowly filled the military truck.

Gruu....!

Ye Xuan’s stomach protested when he smelled the fragrance.

Seeing him open his eyes, Liu Yun smiled while filling a bowl with carrot soup. "Elder Brother Ye, dinner is ready. Can you wake up the others?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan woke the others, then took the bowl from Liu Yun.

Sitting nearby, the soldiers also woke up because of the fragrance. They swallowed their saliva as they opened their eyes.

Glup!

Hearing the sound of someone swallowing, Liu Yun raised her eyes.

Seeing the soldiers covering their stomachs in embarrassment, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

’Since I’m trying to test whether the crops from the Multiverse Farmland can help ordinary people gain abilities, I can take this opportunity and let these soldiers join the experiment. With more people joining, the results should be more accurate.’

When her gaze met theirs, she smiled and said, "I made some carrot soup and grilled steak for dinner. If you guys don’t mind, how about joining us for dinner?"

The moment she said this, one of the soldiers hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head. "No, no, no. We can’t take the citizen’s food."

Although he refused Liu Yun’s invitation, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. It was clear that he was hungry.

Hearing what they said, Ye Xuan poured the remaining soup into a large bowl. Holding the bowl of carrot soup, he walked toward the soldiers.

Placing the bowl on the ground, he said, "Don’t waste food."

Without waiting for the soldiers’ reaction, he turned around and returned to his seat.

Seeing Ye Xuan and the others busy eating, one of the soldiers asked in a low voice, "Should we eat it?"

Staring at the bowl of carrot soup, another soldier swallowed, then said, "It’s not good to waste food. Since they willingly gave this soup to us, we shouldn’t reject their kindness. Let’s share the soup."

"You are right." With that, the soldiers quickly gathered around and shared the carrot soup.

Glancing at them, Liu Yun smiled at the sight of the soldiers eating with tears in their eyes.

Half an hour passed before they finally finished their dinner.

When Liu Yun was about to clean the dishes, Qiu Sixun stopped her and said, "Leave this to us. You already cooked dinner, so it’s our turn to clean the dishes."

Liu Yun looked at their energetic faces thoughtfully, then nodded. "Alright."

Sitting back in the corner, she observed Ye Xuan and the others. Seeing that they were full of energy, she looked at the soldiers. Although the soldiers didn’t look as energetic as Ye Xuan and his brothers, they didn’t look as tired as before.

Rubbing her chin, Liu Yun pondered, ’I guess besides tasting better than ordinary carrots, the Basic Carrot must possess some energy that could help them recover. Looks like I need to do a few more tests to be sure.’

Making up her mind, Liu Yun closed her eyes and entered the Multiverse Farmland. A second later, she appeared beside the small pond.

Seeing that the Basic Carrots were ready to be harvested, she opened her Farmer Status panel and checked the Farmer Energy.

[Farmer Energy: 77/100]

Smiling slightly, she muttered, "It’s enough."

Closing the Farmer Status panel, Liu Yun opened Farmland Plot 001’s status panel, then harvested all the Basic Carrots.

This time, she only harvested 107 carrots from 25 plants. However, she managed to obtain 25 proficiency points for her Crop Harvesting Skill and 125 Farming Experience.

Now that she had spent 75 Farmer Energy harvesting the crops, Liu Yun had no choice but to wait until the next morning before she could start planting again.

Sighing helplessly, she muttered, "Without drinking the Basic Energy Recovery Potion, I can only harvest once a day. I hope that when I finally level up later, the Farmer Energy’s recovery time can be shortened."

Left with nothing to do, Liu Yun left the Multiverse Farmland. After her consciousness returned to her body, she yawned, then slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Lying on the roof of the military truck, He Lin stared at the Blood Moon. His red eyes flickered from time to time, like brilliant rubies.

As he stared at the Blood Moon, the black lines covering his skin and face slowly faded. Taking a deep breath, He Lin closed his eyes, then sighed in satisfaction.

’I wonder what they were eating for dinner. It smells more delicious than the sweet water.’

Licking his lips, he recalled the fragrance he had smelled tonight, then swallowed hard.

Opening his eyes, he thought, ’Today, they seemed to collect the crystals from the zombies’ brains. Maybe I could exchange these crystals with her tomorrow and get something delicious to eat.’

He Lin swallowed again, then made up his mind. He raised his right hand toward the Blood Moon for a moment, then chuckled.

Unfortunately, what came out of his throat was not soft laughter, but a series of low growls.

Hearing this, He Lin froze in place. His smile faded, and the light in his red eyes slowly dimmed.

Under the faint moonlight of the Blood Moon, the military convoy drove toward the Lie Huo Military Base, leaving only floating dust in the air.
